 Arkadaslar ne yazikki ingilizce bilmiyorum ama sunu söylemek istedim;ben büyük ihtimalle konsere çalistigim için gidemeyecegim ama D.T. nin türkiyede olmasi bile ben orda olamasamda beni heycanlandirdi....

I LOVE D.T. 

bunu biri ingilizceye çevirirse çok daha mutlu olucam 

^^
 
He says he doesn't know English and he's sorry and asked us to translate it.He says he won't probably be able to go to the concert because he'll be busy working but he's very happy that the band will be playing in Turkey even though he can't be there.
 
And he says I love DT

quad - DT HOME

let's start to discuss the setlist of the show in this thread 
as we know portnoy tries his best to keep each setlist different form eachother in every show in the same country.
so i think looking through the past of these 2 shows is a good start.

18.  Losing Time/Grand Finale
~~~encore~~~
19.  Metropolis pt 1

Since the band decided to play with an opening act i think the show will be like an 90minutes or 120 minutes without a break ,but maybe 1 or 2 encores possible
So In my opinion i think there are the possibilites for us.

Finally Free  (since it's not played in two shoes there's a very high chance)
3-4 Songs from Systematic Chaos (a must :)
The Spirit Carries on (as always)
These Walls (maybe)
I Walk Beside you (highly possible)
Endless Sacrifice (higly possible)
Stream of Consciousness (highly possible)
Another Won - Light Fuse & Get Away (old stuff suprises maybe)
Scarred (less possible)
Hell's Kitchen (possible for in a medley)
Octavarium (maybe for an encore)

All in all it's just a thought of course, i'm pretty sure Portnoy does his best to keep the balance from the very old days two where we are
Systematic Chaos

No need to discuss about setlist yet!! But Mike never plays the same songs in the same country..It means These songs definitellY WILL NOT be in setlist!!

- Metropolis Part 1(it was encore in 2005),
-Spirit Carries On(played in 2002)
- As I am( played in 2005)
- Learning to live( played in 2005)
- Root Of Evil( played 2005)

I can remember only those 5 songs.. I have setlist from 2005 show..I keep it somewhere I gotta find it!

It means These songs definitellY WILL NOT be in setlist!!

i think i said exactly the same thing maybe you missed it...
plus the setlist of the show in 2005 is up there, so you don't need to look for it!

ORIGINAL: Worldengine

ORIGINAL: Siamon_1928

I know where Kevin lives. Real deal. =D.

Would you go there and ask him to e-mail me??

 
ask him yourself at his webiste.. I've had some contact with him.. pretty nice considering he is my one of my biggest source of musical inspiration

~ And still you swim to save me.. even though the water is much colder now ~

I don't know what to say. I am crying now. I went all the way to Singapore to watch them in their 20th anniversary tour. I can't wait for this concert.

 Hahahahhahah you are right..I am sooo sillyy..It seems like i didn't even read it.hahahah ..So sorryyy

i hope mike plays solo this time

so is it just me trying to say his guesses about the setlist of the upcoming show, or is there anybody out there who wants to share his suggestions&thoughts?

Why do I feel like humming a They Might Be Giants tune right now (hint: not Constantinople)
 
 
"...even old New York was once New Amsterdam..."
 
off topic, I did not realize that this song has been around as long as it has.  Even old dogs learn new sh...tricks.

To our friends abroad, I say enjoy DT.

It's in D-Minor, which I find is the saddest of all keys...
You know it's just simple lines intertwining...it's like a M-ach piece..well, this piece is called, "Lick My Love Pump."

Ill be sober 4 years that day.  Word.

My cymbals can beat up your cymbals.

thanx for coming again DT!we'll be there to see one more time..and it's "never enough"lol.
 
what about platinium tickets this time?will be any platinium tickets for sale?

Pain Of Salvation-Scarsick!

I really wished this was " An evening with " show

Bugra Oguzulgen

Me too. Thats pretty bad.. But no way it gets bad.. Its gonna be fuckin awesome, cuz DREAM THEATER IS THE BEST BAND IN THE UNIVERSE.

"The Lost Voyager" Music project: http://www.myspace.com/thelostvoyager

can't wait to see  dt but..opening acts ... I didn't like it.

Pain Of Salvation-Scarsick!

I'm a DT fan from Azerbaijan which is neighbouring country with Turkey
I hope everething goes well  i'll be able to come to see the show in Istanbul  
Does anyone know when the tickets go for sale? and their aprox. price
Bekle beni Istanbul geliyorum))

Tickets not on sale yet.I'll start a thread when the tickets come out because we'll have lots of foreign people coming from this board so it is the best way to notify them.So watch out the forum !

Bugra Oguzulgen

mike_portnoy84, don't forget to let us know! I've been checking TicketMaster almost daily!
YtseJammers Israel are waiting for Turkey.

Tickets will be on biletix.com I guess.That's the local company.

Bugra Oguzulgen

Yes, of course. Biletix is a TicketMaster company.
Thanks again.

i've alraedy regetred on Biletix
the DT is shown there as coming soon
I'll buy the ticket as soon they are available   

Oh right forgot they are now partners with ticketmaster

Bugra Oguzulgen

 The only thing  I am sure that I won't be able to see DT in Istanbul....SUCH A SAD

 ButI will see them in Berkeley/CA just a month later from Istanbul show!!

^^ Won't be the same thing you know

Bugra Oguzulgen

soooo, I'm not in Istanbul atm, my friend bought tickets both for me and herself.
tickets for standing places right in front of stage are sold out in just one day, wow .. but we're gonna be sitting right behind them (actually I doubt that we're gonna be sitting during the show :P) 
See ya all there

*listening to SCARRED for the last time until June 29th  *

Bought my ticket today

Bugra Oguzulgen

We are 3 guys in Istanbul and we are fans of DT for almost 16 years. We are gonna be in front of the stage in the concert hall here in Istanbul/Turkey.
 
Apart from their great music, I would like to talk about the lyrics of DT. If one concentrate on DT's lyrics he or she will dissapear and find himself/herself in the middle of nowhere. It is so mysterious that one need it everytime when the night comes.
 
For us, the best album is Metropolis Pt. 2 and we are wondering the last album because we always trust him (Mike Portnoy) and he says the last is the best. I am sure the lyrics will be amazing and I especially wonder about the heaviness of metal-sound
 
In Istanbul - Turkey, we all fans will be between head-banging and watching the show of Dream Theater. I am personally going to try to stay calm and enjoy the show by watching Mike Portnoy and Dream Theater on stage.
 
Thank you Dream Theater for coming here for the third time.
 
(A wish: Please play Home+The Dance Of Eternity in their sequence)
