Yeah...I've seen them a couple of times now, and in reality, the changing setlist is a double-edged sword. It's cool that they are soooo practiced and talented that they can change it up every night - and it's nice that they do that for the audience. It's a far cry from the overproduced stage productions that most pop stars seem to stick too that favor the dancing over the quality of the music. On other hand, the changing set list can be disappointing when you don't get to hear something you heard they were playing in another show.

One thing that I really like about the changing setlists is that I won't hear the same set everytime DT comes to my town. Portnoy is pretty good about giving me something that I didn't hear last time with the obvious exception of new material, because, obviously, I couldn't have heard it the last time they came around.

...also the cover album thing makes multiple dates really worthwhile.

I've been lucky enough to see DT do both Number Of The Beast and Dark Side Of The Moon in London. Both excellent gigs.

On their last tour I think only one song was played both nights at Hammersmith. Every other song was different each night.

Love Rush as I do, I wish they'd vary their setlists a bit more. I went 3 times on the R30 tour and each night was identical to the other two.
