Dream Theater American Dates!

[bkrumme]

I was out on LiveNation today and noticed that there's ONE American date for Progressive Nation 2009 posted. Tickets aren't available yet, but I bet we'll see more dates soon!

I'm psyched to hear the new album and see them with Zappa Plays Zappa. It should be a killer show. Platinum Package is a MUST this time around.

can't wait.

I too will get the platinum package this time around! I want my lefty signed. Let's see him shred on a left handed JP, HA.


Actually, he probably can, I shouldn't taunt him.

JP is god, of course he can play on a left handed!

I'm going to see DT when they come to Norway. Can't wait!

Let's not forget about John Myung! Mr. Bongo 6 plays for Dream Theater also

I am so stoked to hear the new album. From the teaser they put on MySpace it sounds like it's going to be another great album. And it just so happens that it comes out 2 days after Father's Day. I wonder what my wife & kids are getting for me

maybe they will also give you 1 hour and 18 minutes of alone time to listen to it uninterrupted!

If they don't, I'll just go for a 1 hour and 18 minute drive and "forget" my cellphone...

Sweet! Looks like they're going to be at the Spektrum in Oslo on Sept. 26th. There are Meet & Greet pacakges available for 125 Euro.

They just posted the first batch of North American PN09 dates on Dream Theater - The Official Site

 

[leftyguitarblue]

They will be adding more North American dates soon, I hope, there is nothing in the new york city area yet!

 

[bkrumme]

Don't worry. They would NEVER tour without playing New York...

That's HOME. Nothing like a show at home.

You got that right!!!

Great news!

 

[leftyguitarblue]

Nice! Closest to me is still Chicago, though. I'm hoping for Cleveland or maybe they could come back to Cincinnati? It's been a while since they came to Cincy...Gigantour in '05 I think.

oh, they are due to hit there again. maybe they will add Cincy soon?

Most likely not. The Cincinnati venues have a way of steering clear of "heavy" acts. The only venues here that get them are Bogart's and Annie's and neither of them are big enough for Dream Theater.

I'm probably going to have to go to Cleveland again, which is fine. I've got friends up there I can stay with after the show. If that doesn't work out, I'll go to Chicago. I don't mind the drive. It's only like 4 1/2 hours and the wife is going with me so it's all good.

Oo, can't wait, August 2nd for me!

 

[leftyguitarblue]

woohoo I got my presale tix!

I bought the Meet and greet package. It's expensive but I have been waiting for this for 17 years.

Now here is my question because I am a "meet and greet" noob.


Am I allowed to bring my JP to get signed? Bring a camera? etc...

if yes, do I keep this stuff with me during the show or do i have to put it all back in my car?

I know that is a HUGE noob question, but i have never done it before.

thanks!

The meet & greet is usually before the show so you'd have time to put everything in your car after that. I don't see a problem with taking your JP with you or a camera, but all of that should be in the meet & greet details.
