Anyone know the date DTF went live on the information dual carriageway?

October 21, 1992: The show where the performance scenes in the PMU video were filmed (in Chicago: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dream-theater/1992/avalon-chicago-il-5bd6cfe8.html)

When is your moms birthday?

[rosepetaljelly]

I believe the August 26, 1993 show in Tokyo was recorded for Images and Words: Live in Tokyo DVD. Released at November 16, 1993

[TheGreatPretender]

I wonder how many more people are going to mention the recalled SFNY cover.

October 18, 2000 - Glasgow: the most batshit crazy, totally awesome concert in DT history.*[verification needed]

Set List:
Laura Palmer's Theme (intro tape)
1. Metropolis part 1 (w/ excerpt of Mean Street (Van Halen))
2. Overture 1928
3. Strange Deja Vu (w/ excerpt of Hot for Teacher (Van Halen))
4. Fatal Tragedy (Ass and Balls version)
5. The Mirror/The Mirror (reprise) (w/ excerpts of Moby Dick (Led Zeppelin) and Wipe Out)
6. The Canadian Rap
7. War Pigs (Black Sabbath) (w/ audience member on vocals)
8. Another Day (w/ extended keyboard solo at the end)
9. guitar solo (w/ Loch Lomond (Scottish bagpipe piece))/
10. Gladiator Theme
11. Home
12. keyboard solo (w/ excerpt of The Dance of Eternity)
13. Erotomania (w/ extended drum fills)
14. Voices
15. The Spirit Carries On
16. Learning To Live (w/ extended keyboard solo and excerpt of Whole Lotta Love (Led Zeppelin) on the last chord)
~~~encore~~~
A Change of Seasons:
17. I The Crimson Sunrise
18. II Innocence
19. III Carpe Diem
20. IV The Darkest of Winters (w/ new solos)
21. V Another World
22. VI The Inevitable Summer (w/ extended guitar solo)
23. VII The Crimson Sunset

All of those covers were kind of out of the blue, and they were apparently just exhausted and strung out.  They pulled some fucker out of the audience to sing on an impromptu cover of War Pigs, and of course, the Canadian Rap.  This is hands down one of my favorite bootlegs.  Just insane.  And JLB comments on it at various times throughout.

A lot of that stuff can be heard on the "Scenes From A World Tour" fanclub CD.

[hefdaddy42]

I don't have that. 

But this show was crazy.

[TheGreatPretender]

Just saying, for those who are curious and want to hear it, it's out there.

The bootleg of the full show is out there, too.

Or at least, it used to be.

[RoeDent]

So the entire original line-up (of Majesty) were all born in 1967? If ever they reunite, they should cover Time Flies by Porcupine Tree!

Seriously though, I find it funny that each departed member was replaced by an older person.

Except for Charlie. JLB is way younger than Charlie.

It's total chaos, I tell you!

I know you probably like SC which is cool, it needs more love, but surely you don't believe by association that CiM is one of the greatest music DVDs?

I would argue that if someone values interview and documentary footage over performance footage, then it very well may be.

[Rodni Demental]

You make a good point, CiM actually really excels in that department which come to think of it, reminds me of the reason why I used to like it in the first place, before I came here and started getting infected by other's preconceptions of it.

6/9/1995 - The first time the new version of A Change of Seasons was played live, but more importantly it was my first Dream Theater show.

That being said, the two times they played the prototype version were on March 4 1993 at the Limelight in New York , and on April 13, 1993 in Bonn, Germany.

FYI, the Bonn gig was the 12th - they were in Paris on the 13th. 

And let's not forget they also performed an instrumental version of ACoS on June 9, 1990 and November 17, 1990.

The best part of that DVD was the drummer tech and his collection of $5.  James was hilarious.
