Got to see them again in Grand Prarie, Tx. What a show!!! Best/ Most talanted Band EVER!!! What a great night we were treated to.
Thank you Dream Theatre.
My first Dream Theatre show and I must say the night was almost perfect. The rain/3+hour drive, having to pay $30 dollars for VIP parking( so we would not get soaked) + the Rangers losing all sucked but outside of that the night was PERFECT.
I am 47 years old and have been to many concerts. This concert was by far the BEST I have ever been to. Every member of this band is an absolute professional and is the best at what he does. Highlights of the show for were: Outcry, the acoustic set leading into On The Backs On Angels and the closing song Breaking All Illusions. I do wish that the acoustic set would have been a little longer. I would of loved to have also heard Far From Heaven. Still Silent Man and Beneath The Surface were perfect. I cant state enough how impressive this band is.
A few side notes: Ticketmaster actually bumped our seats up a few rows which was cool. John giving us Ranger updates was nice. My daughter loved the show and will now be a forever Dream Theatre fan. Her classmates may not have a clue who they are but she said this by far the best concert she has seen and 'they are the greatest band in the world'. Dream Theatre just bumped Justin Bieber & The Jonas Brothers down a few pegs. I wish I could have gotten my son a T shirt but they had no kids sizes.
Trivarium actually was decent didnt cuss much or at all from what I heard and would be pretty melodic when they would stop screaming.
Thanks Dream Theatre for a GREAT night. I will go to GREAT lengths to see you again.
How do I go about ordering the box set that is being talked about here? The one that has been delayed some.
How many discs? and what songs are on it??
8 days until my 11 year old daughter and I get to see Dream Theatre in Grand Prairie, TX. We are soooo excited. Help me understand this though. We purchased our tickets online through Ticketmaster over 7 weeks ago. I purchased 2 and was logged onto the BEST Available which meant I could get the $49.99 or 39.99 seats. I was given the $39.99 seats in row 205 LL or something like that.
Since then I have logged on just to see where the seats selling now are. Almost everytime the tickets are better then what I got. Why??? Yesterday, they had two 10 rows back straight on from the stage. The next time I went on they had 2 15 rows back. Why didnt I get these seats 2 months ago???
I am taking my 11 year old daughter to the Dream Theatre concert in Grand Prarie,TX. It will be the first time for both of us to see Dream Theatre. She is as excited about this concert as I am. We have been listening non stop to A Dramatic Turn Of Events plus other Dream Theatre CD's for the last 3 weeks.
Here are my questions: Does the warm up band start at 8pm or do they come out later? How long do they play? What time does Dream Theatre usually take the stage? How long do they play? Any chance they will play Sacrificed Sons? It is both of our favorite Dream Theatre song.
Anyway we are excited. It is a 3 hour drive to Grand Prarie and it is a school night. They can play all night and we will be there for every note of every song. I am just a little curious about what time in the am we will get home.
