Dream Theater

Well yes, because I go to Dream Theater shows to see Dream Theater. 3 hours of them would be awesome. Tiring for the band, but awesome experiences.

The "Evening with Dream Theater" format seems like a no-brainer for the best way to see them. No offense to Trivium, but their 45 minutes would've been far better spent occupied by DT.

This year was my first live show and, while it was awesome, it highlights how difficult it will be to see many of my favorites live. I loved ADToE and they played the six songs I most wanted to hear from the album, but that took up over an hour of the show (it was STILL awesome, though). Once you throw in a drum solo and a few breathers, there's only time for about 5-6 songs. The extra hour gives the guys much more time not only to dig into lesser played cuts, but also the opportunity to play some of their epic suites (Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, A Mind Beside Itself, In the Presence of Enemies I & II or, it'll probably never happen, but the MP 12-step six-pack!). I understand that's why they release a live album every few years and, while they're also awesome, it's still not like being there.

Well I would like to vote but it's not letting me.
Damn site is full of bugs.
Anyway yes I think they should bring it back and why not eh?
The more DT the better

Absolutely.
These guys work hard but it would be great too see a 3 hr epic show from these guys.

Sure. If some is good, more is better!

=Eric_from_Annecy said:I saw DT in 2009 during the progressive european tour and i was frustrated with their short show. I want a 3 hours long show !

I would like to see them play for 23 hours please.

Never enough!

I will travel to any part of the world for a 3 hour concert. You hear that DT! Just name place and date and I WILL be there, front row with the biggest smile on my face

As much as I would love them to return to the 3 hour formate, I do realize that it would be unfair to expect it of them at this point in time. Mangini will need time to learn more of the material to make the set longer, which is fair of course. I have seen DT 3 times in toronto, and none of them have been a 3 hour set, so maybe thats why I want it so bad, but I guess my vote would be yes, but on the bands own time.
