Free Dream Theater Bootlegs And Rare Items

I believe there is an entire string of these CDs covering the Japanese Leg of the Octavarium Tour, but I'm only confident I have two of them (not sure about one of the bootleg versions of the "Made In Japan" set I have). https://mega.nz/#F!AawW1SaR!cwxkhF9BY1_tTXfb-abK9g     https://mega.nz/#F!0z52lShA!1ZaZvLcX6FCls6s7Trriiw 

Here's a rare one from A Dramatic Tour Of Events. For the diehards only though, because the sound is pretty reverberated. https://mega.nz/#F!Bi5zAQ6J!k6iBYnQBvLrqISsK3Nw99w

Although I might be packing up my bags on YouTube, there were a few (quite expensive in fact) Dream Theater bootlegs I bought recently, so I may as well get my money's worth by sharing some of them over here. This is the only bootleg I've ever shared on my blog from 2014. https://mega.nz/#F!xmBhzCgC!CK9DPPbRKSniVjEuLJkM7Q

  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.

This is a special post I've been planning for a long time. It got delayed because I did not receive the "Vive La France" bootleg from someone on schedule as predicted. Anyway, there's a very bad quality audience video of the show in Paris at Le Bataclan which is featured on the Once In A LIVEtime CD. Here are some thumbnails and a download link for the DVD: https://mega.nz/#F!BbQSFDbQ!MIFPoe7UBIoCncj5Vs-PGQ The main problems with this video (on top of the picture and sound quality simply being bad) is that the speed keeps changing, and it's also missing chunks of footage. There are numerous audio recordings of this show someone could use to combine with the video and make it watchable, as my friend Robo4900 did for Under A Glass Moon , and I've done so far for Hey You and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road . You have, of course, the Once In A LIVEtime CD itself, but I cannot legally share that. The things I can legally share are:   • The Once In A LIVEtime Ou...

  I recently got a bunch of rare bootlegs from the Six Degrees tour and this one stood out slightly  in terms of sound quality (which really says something about the others, since I would still only rate this one a B+).  Somebody may have requested this show of me too. I can't remember. The name of this venue is listed as either the The Rave or Eagles Ballroom. I think they're basically two different rooms inside the same building complex, but I'm not sure which room DT played in. Download link: https://mega.nz/#F!ECQygaLI!5SY1irq0u7gYufaXFo2k1g

  I posted a version of this show (the one with the mobius strip artwork ) on my YouTube channel earlier this year, but ended up removing it, because I later noticed the cymbal sound was super messed up, I probably did not notice at the time because I had a cold and my ears were sort of plugged up. That led me to seeking out some other versions of this show. This one, released on the Bondage Music label in Japan, does not have the messed up cymbal issue, but has some crackling (as if it was transferred from a vinyl) and tape hiss. The tapes might also be too slow - I'm not sure. I was planning on creating an improved version but I was not happy with my initial attempts at removing the noise, and so I this will have to be another project I leave up to someone else if they're up for doing it.
