Dream Theater kick of Images, Words and Beyond tour in Rome (See setlist)

Dream Theater kicked off their Images, Words and Beyond Tour in Rome, Italy last night, Jan 30th and debuted quite an incredible setlist. The first set was comprised of a mix of a few older and newer songs, including 3 from The Astonishing. The second set was the entire Images and Words album, much of which has not been played since the 2012 tour. The amazing surprise was the performance of “A Change of Seasons” as the encore. This was the first time the 25 min-song had been played since 2004.
