EDIT: oo today you'll be in our lands!! yeahh

I wish I could see one of them... So far

Good Luck and have fun Mike..You should have missed play on stage I guess

Hope you can sneak in some DT music for us DT starved Aussie fans.
 
A medley of YTSE JAM, Erotomania, Hells Kitchen, Dance of Eternity and Stream of Consciousness would be great!
Or the whole 16 minutes of When the Water Breaks would be orgasmic.
 
(I know this is a JP gig and not an MP/DT/LTE gig, but hey, JP is the geetar player in DT and LTE so I can hope )

dude lookin foward to it!!!!! seeya in sydney!!
 
does anyone know if there will be any signings?

"Love is The Dance of Eternity"

I know that there is a JP Platinum package available. Whether or not Mike will be there is up in the air...

I got my ticket to the Perth show Finally, Mike Portnoy in Perth!!! Who'da thunk it?

Fri Dec 1st - Sydney, Austraila - Hordern Pavillion

See you there.

Been waiting so fucking long to say that!

It really suck (at least for me and most south american fans) that Steve Vai won't be coming to SA... it would have been incredible... but we still have teh Petrucci with teh man coming, so it's gonna kick asses anyway (i'm not too much of a Satch dude)

I remember the very first (I think it was the first at least) Petrucci/Portnoy G3 show in Reno. It was so awesome! Have fun guys.

Have a great time!  Stellar lineups for these shows.

Does anyone know if JP will be playing more songs off of Suspended Animation, or will there be some new stuff mixed in? I guess this question pertains to those who see the show tonight.

The boys might need to spend their off days at the beach here in Australia. It's going to be a very hot summer.

Lucky australian and south american fans!

I hope G3 with MP and JP are coming to Europe sometime...!

june 25th 2003: Iron Maiden in Paris
june 25th 2004: Iron Maiden in Paris
june 25th 2005: Iron Maiden in Paris... with Dream Theater!!!!...

Wait, so there IS three Melbourne shows?? I missed out on The Mars Volta tickets to get Meet & Greets for G3, but now I find out I could have gone to both! Oh no!

I hate it how they wait to announce multiple shows, if I'd have known ahead of time I could have done both.

any chance of coming to the UK? thatl be sweet!

Niiiiiiiiiiice! Wasn't expecting to see Mike and John so soon!! 

And the venue kicks ass! I saw only one show there but it was Al DiMeola and it sounded beautiful!

So there's a break in the writing process?

Or will we get Myung and Rudess music?

AWESOME! I've already got my tickets for the Sao Paulo shows. I'll be in both nights there! See you there, master!!
 
The only thing I'm wondering is: who'll be the BASS PLAYER for JP & MP ?? I mean, Dave LaRue is playing with Satriani... Will he play with both ???

I think D.T. should try to play at the Dodge Arena on thier next tour. It is close enough for fans to drive down from Austin, San Antonio, Corpus chisti, PLUS since it is right on the border, fans from Mexico could also come!

D'oh! I'll be visiting Australia for almost a month in Nov.-Dec. Unfortunately, you guys are doing the continent backwards from me! I'll be in Adelaide until Dec. 4th and in Brisbane for a couple of days after that, before I return to the US on the afternoon of the 6th. I'd love to see just JP & MP in concert, but I guess it just isn't in the cards.

Oh and trust me - if I could have that Monday and the Tuesday after off work, I would. However, due to that and the fact that I couldn't get flights to Melbourne on the days I wanted, I'm settling for the one show in Sydney.

The last Melbourne date seems to be a mystery to the booking agency. Even though I'm from Sydney I shall be in Melbourne on business and would love to go - can someone shed some light on this.

Thanks for the setlist! The good thing is that JP played almost all of his album. The bad thing is that there's no DT or LTE. 

Does anyone have the entire setlist??

I've always wondered why this tour doesn't come to the US... wouldn't maybe an NYC, Chicago, and LA show (or something like that... just a few major cities) make sense? I'm sure it would get an audience.

The tour has been pretty good about not repeating the same lineup in the same area throughout G3's history.  In the US, Satch/Vai/Petrucci toured in 01.  More recently, Vai toured the US in 05, and Satch/Johnson toured in 06.  So it wouldn't really make sense for them to do a G3 with Satch, either Vai or Johnson, and Petrucci in the US so soon.

The last G3 tour (Satch/Vai/Malmsteen) in the US was in 2003, so it has been a while.  I bet we get something new in the US this coming summer.

 I hope you have a great time, Mike.

 Sadly I live in a city that is a 3 hour drive from mexico city and  I work (*insert curses* bosses,  they usually program my classes at 7 or 8 am), so I won´t be able to go to the concert (my heart is broken in a million pieces).

I´m a woman and I L O V E Progressive Rock (in all its variants) by my own volition, thank you...now back to our regular programming.

Here it is:
 

G3- "Review" Specially about JP parts.

---

I just came back from the show, a couple of points:

-Yes, for those who care, JP is leaving his hair grow.

-He used the prototype on all of his playing except one song.

-He DOES use the lower fret access from what I could tell.

-He used the "mini" rig that was posted before, as far as I could tell, with the "mysterious" green thingy.


Now off to my opinions:

Satriani: He does the stuff he always does ^^. Kinda bored me because im used to his stuff, lots of effects, cool grove etc etc. Barely any mistakes, good improv and good light setup, really groovy.

Eric: Had a bad night, he apeared to be kinda nervous the first songs. Dont know if he "forgot" his songs or just improvised on them, had a couple of hitches.

His improvisation on the ensamble more than made up for it though, great sound, great playing and really tasty.

Petrucci: Have to be honest, to me he was the most prepared one, his playing was top notch. His sound was also great, lights were also well setup. He brought his normal "Suspended Animation Players", portnoy, dave. His improv was also quite good, he started the improvs most of the time. Received the most applause (probably had more fans in there) and to me, he stole the show.

Ensable: REALLY GOOD. The sound was awesome, you could distinguish who was playing. Normally JP would start the improv then johnson and then satch. The songs were Red House, Rocking on the Free World and I forgot what else...

The only thing I felt is that on the first song (or was it the 2nd?) they didnt know who was next or had some "awkard" moments haha, or atleast it seemed like that, but they played well anyway.

In the end, really good show, worth the money. The show lasted almost 4 hours, time was lost because they had to be changing the drum sets between satch's, eric's and portnoy's.

Remember this is just personal opinion.

P.s JP told something to the ear of Dave LaRue while they were playing, wish I knew what it was >.>.

Thanks for the review!

Funny thing is that I feel this same thing will happen here in Brazil. I'm expecting many Dream Theater fans on both nights... On the last G3 (with Fripp), the venue wasn't packed, but this time I think it will.

Which was the players sequence of the show?
 
 

Johnson - Petrucci - Satriani. Then everyone came out while Satch was playing Always With Me Always With You. Cool shows. I wish I could see that every day. Everyone played the same setlist each night.But it's all about the improvs. Not the G3 jam exclusively, everyone is jamming a lot in their own songs, just like on other G3 tours, but this has got to be the best couple of G3 shows I've seen. Dave LaRue played both Satch's and Petrucci's sets as everyone suspected. Both Eric and John had a better night last night. All of you guys that are going to the following shows will have a great time!

Now im reeeeeally anxious !!!
 
 

Why are there no pics yet?

I have seen a few, but none of those playing

Carpe Diem !

I snapped a few pics with my cell phone... so hang in there while I get a USB cable and I'll post some from the 17th...

Great show, by the way... Eric was doing some cool tricks and seemed like he was really enjoying himself. It was my first time seeing Satch, and although he nailed it consistently and had a good crowd interaction, his set was my least favorite one...

On JP's set, I gotta say that MP stole the show for me... kinda like going to see Dean Martin perform, while he's having Sinatra doing backing vocals for him...

Awesome job you guys... have a  great rest of the tour!
