So it's the opposite to being a rip off. And indeed, Dream Theater announces the nights where they are covering whole albums.
Now Queen, 1986, that's a rip-off. Every night the same songs in the same order. Could it be more boring? I think not. [/QUOTE]

If the Magic Tour was boring, what can we say about the Q + PR tour?[/QUOTE]
Well actually they changed a bit more in 2005... Compare the BRIXTON show with BELFAST or HYDE PARK, than take TOKYO and the setlist aren't actually THAT same...

If you compare 2005 Q+PR to all the Queen 73-86 tours, these were most of their longest shows ever. Queen's longest shows were on the NOTW tour, and they were a bit over two hours. Q+PR played some shows up to 135 minutes.
As for the setlist, the Hot Space tour was Queen's most adventurous, but look at all the changes we saw in 2005! I really hope the set gets changed up for '06.

With a Highway Star, nice!

how people can actually like this band is beyond me.

The reason why I can see why some people might not like Dream Theater is because guitar and drum solos that go on for 10 minutes eventually get boring to many. Some people enjoy the instrumental virtuosity, and others don't. I do enjoy it to some extent, but I certainly find that at some point I've had enough of it.
The Beatles weren't particularly the most skilled instrument players, but they became the biggest band of all time based just on their songwriting skills.

Dream Theater doesn't have any song where a guitar or drum solo goes on for ten minutes. There is a huge difference between structured music and improvised music. DT's music contains structured instrumentals that can go for five minutes or so. This kind of stuff is over the heads of 90% of the musical audience, so that's why the majority of their audience consists of serious musicians.
Even aside from that crucial difference in musical styles, a band playing long instrumentals in concert is nothing new. Let's look at the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin... at least half of their average concert consisted of guitar solos, and they're hailed as two of the greatest live bands of all time.

I think we all know for sure that Led Zeppelin was one of the greatest live bands of all time.
However I never thought of Greatful Dead as a great live band. I always thought of them as a great band to get stoned to.

Finally the Deep Purple cover album leaked.
I'm listening to it right now, and I must say that I'm quite impressed by James' performance. Those guys really can do everything they like (or so it seems)

And here's a video of Highway Star (from their concert in Seoul)!
