Legitimately stunned at how good that show was. 8th time seeing them.

And in a sparsely filled little ol Biloxi casino they freaking crushed it. So impressed at how professional these guys still are after all these years doing this night after night after night.

Any idea why they dropped a song out of the first set?

The casino probably set a curfew so they had to shorten the set.

Hope they come to New Orleans next year. Biloxi's not the right market for a band like that.

I’m 37. Been to hundreds of rock and metal shows in the last 20 years. I’ve probably listened to Scenes 1,000+ times. DT’s performance last night is in my top 5, ever. Stunningly incredible.

I'm so glad everyone agrees. That was maybe the best show I've ever seen. Even with Labrie clearly having an off night (apparently his voice was in much better shape the previous two shows), I was so blown away.

I have never seen guitar playing at that level. It's amazing. I've been watching live DT vids for over a decade now and I think this was the best I've ever seen the man play.

If you had told my high school self that I would eventually get to see the entirety of Metropolis Pt. 2 live, I would've cried.

Everyone else brought it too. John Myung the silent assassin, Jordan Rudess with so many great moments (MORE KEYTAR PLEASE), and Mike Mangini....WOW. What an absolute animal. The end of Wit's End was just a clinic.

Someone else gush now, I need a breather.

This was my second time seeing that exact show - I went to Jacksonville in April. A few thoughts...

-Mangini put in some great fills during Scenes that were very subtle. He is a robot, but does still have feel.
-James' voice was not as good as back in April when he nailed everything; you could tell he trailed off later in the show. He was still very good.
-They left off Paralyzed/Fall into the Light and changed to At Wit's End instead of Pull me Under. I'm not complaining - they nailed that encore and it was a complete surprise.
-Wish they would have played Metropolis Pt 1 after Scenes
-Petrucci is a god among men but still has trouble playing the Fatal Tragedy solo. Just shows how difficult it is.

One of the best shows I've ever been to - top 3 easily. I'm not one to see the exact same set twice, but when they're playing Scenes all the way through couldn't pass it up.

Saw this show earlier this year in Houston and yes awesome! This is the best DT show since the Chicago show I saw during the 25th anniversary tour. DT always solid and sounds great.

Myung blew me away! I knew JP was going to shred my face off but it was so nice to see JM getting into it and rocking out. Loved it when he and JP would play sided by side in unison. Hopefully they come back and play NOLA next time but it was nice to have such and intimate show. I was in the center of row 9.

Yes that was a highlight for sure. I'm glad the venue collectively decided to stand, though. The chairs really threw us off for a second there.
