“Vacant”
“Stream of Consciousness”
“Octavarium”
Encore
“The Best of Times” (with Jonathan Dinklage – live debut)
“Pull Me Under”
Drummer Mike Portnoy shared his thoughts following the show:
“Still recovering and basking in the glow from Saturday’s EPIC evening at Radio City Music Hall…hands down, one of my most favorite shows I’ve EVER played. Absolutely perfect in every respect!
Looking out and seeing a Sold Out Radio City packed with the biggest DT fans in the world all gathered together to celebrate the bands 40th Anniversary together was absolutely magical from start to finish!
And the surprise live debut of ‘The Best Of Times’ (the only song in my original DT discography that had never been played live), joined by Jonathan Dinklage on violin, was the icing on the cake. I honestly could not contain my tears throughout the performance…it was so emotional for me to pay tribute to my dad (who was in the audience when we played RCMH in 2006) in such a glorious way. It was absolutely perfect.
After 5 months of touring Europe, South America and North America, we are taking a couple of months to recover and spend some time at home with our families before we resume touring in June / July for another round in Europe for a combination of metal festivals and some more special DT40 headline shows.”
