Dream Theater opening for Maiden Summer 2010

**ProtoChicken** · 03-04-2010, 01:15 PM

That should be fun. I went to 8 shows in 3 countries on Maiden's Somewhere Back In Time Tour in 2008 and they were fantastic as always. And we all know DT puts on a great show. I assume DT will get to play a longer set than an opener usually gets.

IRON MAIDEN

Now thats a cool pair, might have to check it out seeing the first show is in Dallas, wish it was at a different venue though Superpages is not my favorite place to see a show, actually my least favorite, but might have to suck it up and get my brother to go with me.

I DEFINITELY have to hit the NY and NJ shows! Two of my favorites.

I'm excited about the summer now. Mon July 12th. Madison Square Garden!!!
We should have a NYC knuckelhead meetup before the show!

Why would a prog metal band like DT be touring with a fair young unmarried woman?

That could be cool.

I live just outside of Boston, but travel to NY/NJ for almost every show I see. The crowds are better and the bands always seem to put on better shows in those venues. I must say that the Canadian audiences are amazing as well, and on a whole the friendliest group of concert goers of any country I've been to.

**Colin** · 03-04-2010, 02:30 PM

didn't DT perform a whole show once just playing Maiden songs?

**DaPatrooch** · 03-04-2010, 02:30 PM

If DT is co-headlining, I'll probably go to the one in NJ, but if they're just opening, I don't know. Either way this is awesome, and definitely an unexpected surprise!
