The Ed Huntour played small venues, damn. Theaters mostly. By the time Maiden got back to North America a full calendar year had elapsed and they stepped up from theaters to arenas.

Not to turn this into a Maiden discussion, but I feel like it was a consequential decision to do a small greatest hits tour and then go all out on a new album focused tour. The Brave New World tour setlist is wild. Of the first 11 songs, only three are from the 80s.

We're going to get something similar with this upcoming Parasomnia tour maybe. Obviously they are playing A Change of Seasons, but we're also getting the full Parasomnia album and a full set worth of other material. I've seen a lot of speculation that they might just throw in the songs that they've been playing in Europe, although I would love to see them go a little bolder.
 
Dead Again, the film that inspired Dream Theater when writing Scenes From a Memory, is on sale $4.99 on Prime Video.

Andy Garcia, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Robin Williams

Ticket sales. They experienced some really poor sales during the current tour and I’m sure couldn’t justify bringing the production over for a full UK/EU run just for it to (potentially) turn out the same.

Also what a tone deaf, old rich dude opinion: “just buy a ticket to the states and book a hotel last minute! And pay $150 for our ticket! All during the absolute worst time to cross the American border!”
 
DT playing Parasomnia in its entirety
Was the best mix of horror and metal I ever saw!
The new lp is so HEAVY live!
My jaw is on the ground!
This blows away the show they played back in February!
Don't miss this!

Before the show, over the PA, they play instrumental tracks from horror films (Omen, Exorcist, Shining).
Really set the mood.
Then when they played the lp (lyrics about nightmares) with the constant horror images behind them, LOVED IT!

Seeing A Change of Seasons as the encore for my 1st time in 8 years was eye opening. I have a new understanding of it now. About more than just the death of Portnoy's mother.

Will post videos later.
WELL worth a flight from Houston to Tulsa!
