Dream Theater Live At The Paramount, Huntington, NY 2012/07/19 (2DVD)
If people asked me what my favorite Dream Theater show with Mike Mangini would be, I would say this one! It has some of the curveballs in the setlist which have been sorely lacking since Portnoy left the band: a version of Paradigm Shift with a guest appearance from Tony Levin, the only performance of To Live Forever after 2004, and a cover of the King Crimson song 21st Century Schizoid Man with Crimson ProjeKCt. Why this show was selected to be so eventful, I'm not sure. Mangini is also brimming with energy and passion here, especially on Breaking All Illusions. People who think he is robotic and soulless need to watch this. Also, This Is The Life and Lost Not Forgotten (two of the best songs from A Dramatic Turn Of Events in my opinion) were not played a great deal live. Unfortunately, these DVDs suffer from some big gaps in the audio between the .VOB files that interrupt the flow of these songs a bit.
