ACOS - any great quality demo with JLB singing/KM playing it (I&W era)

[Samsara]

Hey all. In anticipation for the North American leg of the I&W tour, I was going through all my DT stuff, and it dawned on me that while ACOS has been around for eons, the demo on the I&W demos official bootleg is with Chris Cintron, not JLB. Is there a demo floating around out there in superior quality of JLB and KM playing ACOS?

I know there are live versions, I'm looking for as close to what it would have sounded like had they actually recorded it for the record. Does that exist somewhere? And if so, can you point me in the right direction?

This could be close to what you're after:
Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons 1990 or 1991 demo with James LaBrie

[Ben_Jamin]

That was actually pretty cool.

Thanks for that. Yes. Any idea why this wasn't on the I&W demos?

I mean, it would have made sense, wouldn't it?

I believe there's a few different reasons. For starters, the sound quality isn't as good. Another is that there wasn't enough space for both versions (this one and the one with Chris Cintron). Finally, MP wanted to include a track featuring Chris Cintron's vocals, and ACoS seemed to be most appropriate since he was the first one to actually sing the song (and I believe help with some of the vocal melodies).

Cool. I wasn't complaining about Cintron's version. I was just really wanting a version that had the JLB-KM-JP-MP-JM lineup.
