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.

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
