Dream Theater Live At The Palace Theater, Los Angeles 1994 [FLAC]



Sample Spectrogram Reading:


This was DT’s last show in 1994, and therefore, the last show before LaBrie’s big accident in Cuba. Unfortunately, the quality is atrocious. There are three distinct problems: extreme levels of tape hiss, speed being incorrect, and the volume also being too quiet. Generally speaking, the quieter the analog recording, the more tape hiss there is, because the more incompletely the iron oxide particles bind to the tape (but of course, recording something too loud will generate distortion). I’m hoping that some audio wizards out there will download this and try to fix the problems. After much careful pruning away of the tape hiss, I was able to get a listenable version of the Awake Jam from this show up on YouTube. Unfortunately, I can't find the master audio file I used for the video, otherwise I would have given that away too.

There is also an FM broadcast of several songs from this show which appeared on the Antiquities CD from Prism Records (the alias of Portnoy’s friend Mike Bahr). I’ve decided that Stream Of Consciousness is probably going to be the only Prism CD I share. The reason is that I actually traded some Prism CDs, including Antiquities, with a few people, and I don’t want them to feel like they got cheated.

Dream Theater - The Complete Forbidden Dreams Boxset In FLAC

Image
This was released on the Japanese Bondage Music label in 2002, and features three superb soundboard recordings which I consider to be essential for any DT bootleg collector. The first one is from IMP AKA Imperial Hall in Osaka 1992/11/19. This one also goes under the names Images and Tour '92 (vol. 1 of the "Soundboard Masters" series) and Osaka Samurai, and there is an audience recording of this same show which gets erroneously billed under the name Moon Bubbles as the Shibuya Kokaido in Tokyo 1992/11/18. The second recording is from Festival Hall in Osaka 1993/08/28, which also goes under the names Music In Progress Tour '93 (vol. 2 of the "Soundboard Masters" series) and Mission: Impossible. The third recording is from Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo 1995/01/23, and also goes under the names Waking Up The World Tour '95 (vol. 3 of the "Soundboard Masters" series), and Tokyo Dragons. There's also considerable overlap between these reco...

Date: July 4th Location: Palaghiaccio Some DVD specs: PAL Setlist: 01. Under A Glass Moon 02. The Mirror 03. Lie 04. Lifting Shadows Off A Dream 05. A Change Of Seasons 06. Surrounded 07. Erotomania 08. Voices 09. The Silent Man 10. Pull Me Under 11. Wait For Sleep (acoustic) 12. Learning To Live While Americans were stuffing their faces with burgers and hot dogs and watching fireworks, the Italian who filmed this probably did not know at the time that they were recording one of only two videotaped performances of Under A Glass Moon from 1995 (the other is the Canoe Place Inn show), and the only 1995 video of A Change Of Seasons, the acoustic version of Wait For Sleep, and Learning To Live. The second European leg of the Waking Up The World Tour is notoriously under-recorded, which is unfortunate since LaBrie's voice was starting to recover, and there were some curiosities in the setlist at this time (such as the aforementioned acoustic version of Wait For Sle...

Dream Theater - The Change Of A Change Of Seasons

This is one of the rarest DT bootlegs I have, as it was limited to just 50 physical copies. On it, you get: 1. The Chris Cintron audition of A Change Of Seasons. The back cover art says “A Change Of Seasons ’89” which is partially true. The instrumental parts were laid down in 1989, but Cintron would have performed vocals in 1990. 2. The 1993 Limelight performance of A Change Of Seasons. One of only two times ACOS got played live with “the two Kevins” Moore & LaBrie (other was Bonn, Germany 1993). 3. The “Mercy Fuck” performance of A Change Of Seasons from Old Bridge, NJ June 1995. This one sounds nice in contrast to the very noisy version of this show in circulation. 4. The sample from Dead Poet’s Society about Carpe Diem meaning “seize the day.” 5. “A Change Of Simpsons.” This is a Scenes era performance of this song which has a piece of The Simpson’s Theme included. Did they do this on Live Scenes From New York? I can't remember, and have not the energy...
