Dream Theater - Barcelona Rock Fest 2015 + The Astonishing Brussels

 
 

Although I previously was not intending on sharing any Dream Theater bootlegs after 2012 because I don’t like the direction the band’s sound has gone in (especially with LaBrie’s voice hitting the skids), I got the idea of sharing these bootlegs because they both stem back to the same record company (Doolin Records), and I don’t believe they justify the prices which have been asked for them on Discogs. The Barcelona one has a lot of crowd noise and phasing problems, probably from the wind blowing in an open air venue. The Astonishing one received the following nasty review:



I don't feel quite that strongly about it, but it is sort of muddy and reverbated, and on the version of the album I got, "The Ashtonishing [sic]" is clearly misspelled, which isn't exactly a confidence builder:



Anyway, here are the bootlegs so people can form their own opinions:

Dream Theater - The Complete Forbidden Dreams Boxset In FLAC

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

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

Before Dream Theater performed this show, they also did a session with Radiomafia in Finland including acoustic performances of Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, Wait For Sleep, and The Silent Man. Here is my remastered version as an .m4a file. It's called Helsinki7 because it was my 7th noise reduction attempt: https://mega.nz/#!dwYiwQYC!fyzFEmt97M80IYv9eFvzSI-fB6uSjrCpHAiCmYbskuI
