07. Once In A LIVEtime
08. Chaos In Motion 2007-2008

With half of the votes, LAB is now out, leaving behind LSFNY and Score, the latter of which will get my vote (again), because honestly, the set list for LSFNY is just superb - the entirety of SFAM, plus some unique performances of some songs, and then that whole third disc is just to die for! All of the "A Mind Beside Itself" suite, "Learning To Live" and a full performance of "A Change Of Seasons" - what an epic way to end an incredible show!

Score, it is amazing but Live Scenes is glorious.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Live Scenes From New York. It has the best setlist of all of the live albums (maybe their best setlist ever) but James' voice is a little off. Score on the other hand has a great setlist as well and James is flawless on it.

1: Score
2: Live Scenes From New York
3: Breaking the Fourth Wall
4: Live at Budokan
5: Live at the Marquee
6: Live at Luna Park
7: Chaos in Motion 2007-2008
8: Once in a LIVEtime

Tough call, especially considering I was at both shows.

Sure it is, but it's off in a "good" way. Can't put my finger on it but his tone and the way he works around the difficult just work and he never turns it into a cringe fest. Sure, it's a buzz kill to have Another World lowered in its dramatic peak, as for the whaaaa haaa haaa part of Learning to Live, but all around it works.

I also love his vocalizing at the end of Through Her Eyes, pure bliss!

Live Scenes From New York

It is a performance of my favorite album, but that's all it is. Score on the other hand encompasses so much of Dream Theater's phases, styles and moods. Their definitive live album.

But... Scenes also has Learning to Live and the best version of ACOS.

"A little" is an understatement.  It's probably undoubtably his worst vocal performance outside of CiM.  Killer setlist though.

Doesn't that count as bonus material? At least it says so on my DVD.

Except this Survivor is about albums and not videos. There is no DVD titled Live Scenes From New York. There is one titled Metropolis 2000- Scenes From New York, but that's not one of the options here.

I'd accept that as a reasonable excuse except for the fact that I listed Live At The Marquee instead of Images & Words: Live In Tokyo, and Once In A LIVEtime instead of 5 Years In A LIVEtime as voting options.
