Dream Theater 2007/2008 World Tour Dates!! (updated 2/23/08)

BUMPing this thread before Mikes does it! 
I surely can't wait for the new dates, lets see what it comes to...
And in case the band comes to Monterrey, I'd love to bootleg the show and who knows what else (any other regios willing to help?)

I'm not regio, I'm chilango. But if DT goes to Monterrey, and if I'm able to, I'll travel there and attend the show, so once we confirm that, you tell me how can I help.
 
OMGZ PLZ DT KUMM 2 T3H M3X1C0!!!!! (and if possible, play 2 dates in Mexico City  [Now you've seen how beautiful Teatro Metropolitan is, and how beautiful it sounds, hehe, you can easily sell out 2 dates there])

it is all so quiet about the Argentinian dates, at least here. last time i knew it within 4 months before (i got my tickets two months before the shows), now it is almost two months to the "shows" and i have not a single rumor, i'm starting to freak out, i changed my vacations to march to go see DT. :(

last time they came here, they confirmed it around January 3rd, and the show was on March 2nd
so we're on time, easy, man! lets just hope.

ok, but it is really hard :S i dont mean to be obsessive, you know.. but i really want to listen "in the presence of enemies" played right in my face...

South Americans I feel your pain. I did an interview with James a couple of weeks ago and he definitely said that South America was on the horizon (the same way as he OK'd Australia late last year). Look, hear

yep, wrong...Just some dates were added on Jan 6th and the rest were added within time.

He edited the original post, if you look at the first post on this thread and you see the date that doesn't mean that all the dates were confirmed on that date, they were added within weeks, months..

And once again...check my post (proof) that it was confirmed on Jan 9th (and see the posts below mine)

Which are the correct dates for the first two Aussie shows?

On this forum, it says:

25th Burswood Theatre
27th Adelaide Showgrounds

But on DT.net, it says the 26th and 28th.

I just removed 2 pages of posts.

Nothing is official until you see an announcement from Mike.

Ummm...I can see why you'd be wondering abooot March 3rd and 4th, but DT's playing different cities on the 7th, 8th and 9th.

Mike are you guys coming with any support band for opening shows, or it will be at evening with DT show?
 

Hi Mike!
I m very happy for the southamerican fans but .... you forget the peruvians :(
If you check the Eventful web page you will find a lot of fans waiting for you here in Lima ...  We hope you can consider this to include our city in your tour, please.
Excuse me, I expect not to motivate discomfort with this comment.

I'm pleased to see so many people glad to see DT in these next months  Can't wait to feel the same when European dates will be announced!

Well, I'm sorry to inform you, but you're gonna have to wait a while to feel the same way - DT's done going thru Europe on this tour. So I'd expect at least a year before there will be any new European dates, judging by DT's track record on the last 2 albums/tours.

I won't be in my dear homeland Chile, because i'm be in norway doing some consulting job that i've got. I just want to cry

DT PLZ COME TO SANDEFJORD!!!!!111!!!!oneoneone1!!!!
