Free Dream Theater Bootlegs And Rare Items

  Sample Spectrogram Reading:   This post concludes what has been a big month in the history of this channel with 40 new items added! I will eventually get around to posting recordings of the second 1998 fan club gig from Paris. I have something special planned for that one.

  Sample Spectrogram Reading: I have a version of this boot where the tapes are too fast. I was thinking about correcting the speed, but then I discovered that I had another version which was the correct speed. Possibly the best quality audience recording of Dream Theater from 1992.

    Here is one of those much sought after DT shows that features LaBrie singing material from the Awake album before his vocal injury that occurred in December 1994. Quality is spotty. I was going to work on trying to remaster it, but as I become increasingly more burnt out on DT, it’s something I’m not going to get to. The fact that the sound seems to change throughout the broadcast complicates things (some tracks are way darker than others, possibly as a result of denoising/tape hiss reduction someone already did). My favorite part of this show is hands down the "instrumental," which is a mesh of the Awake Jam and A Crack In The Mirror with a really cool solo from Derek Sherinian I haven't heard him play at any other shows.

Sample Thumbnails: DVD Specs: NTSC This is a heavily requested DVD from the Falling Into Infinity tour, perhaps because the picture and audio quality are relatively good, or because of the Nightmare Cinema performance of Perfect Strangers.

A Fortune in Lies 11. Another Day 12. Pull Me Under 13. Eve 14. Learning to Live DVD Specs: Probably PAL   I consider this video to be an overlooked gem from "the Moore era" of the band. LaBrie is in top form at this show and really goes to town on To Live Forever. The support band, Galactic Cowboys, come to the stage to do backing vocals for Take The Time. The audio and video quality are both good, and the cameraman does a good job of focusing in on all the different band members (many videos I've watched focus disproportionately on LaBrie or Petrucci). Watching footage from this era of the band always makes me smile, because everything is in its right place. These poor guys probably did not know at the time that this was the peak of Dream Theater, and that the s...
