Hypothetical DT: One night only

[pianoman]

 Hypothetically, of course,

      Dream Theater is supposed to play a gig a certain night. That very night, JLB has to perform in a broadway musical. Mike decides to cover the vocals for the night. What is your ideal setlist for this night?


     Constant Motion
     Never enough
     The Answer Lies Within
     A nightmare to remember
     Misunderstood
     Hell's Kitchen
     The Best of Times
     Pull Me Under
     The Test that Stumped them all
     The Count of Tuscany

"Erotomania"
"Ytse Jam"
"Eve"
"Another Dimension"
"Hell's Kitchen"
"Freedom of Speech"
"Stream of Consciousness"
"Kindred Spirits"

That would be an awesome gig.

No condom for sure, want it to be special... Ooooohh, maybe I should've read the OP and not just answered the thread title on instinct alone

He does.

You know that yodeling solo at the end of Pull Me Under? That's JMX

I was being serious; I wasn't trying to be funny.

I mean, really, unless you are someone who genuflects to everything the band does without question, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to go to a DT concert where anyone in the band other than JLB is doing all of the lead vocals.  Shoot, Rush is my all-time favorite band, but I wouldn't want a concert of Alex Lifeson singing all lead vocals.

No, I agree, I just found your response's format just straight-up awesome and well-placed.

Interestingly enough, if this happened I think they would be better off doing songs like 'The Best of Times' and others that Mike could sing normally, which he does well enough, instead of singing all tough guy/cookie monster/faux growlie style.

Awesome setlist , btu I'd like teh dance instead of erotomania

Get out with that nonsense!

[ScioPath]

How about Bombay Vindaloo and Instrumedley?

[Adami]

How about Bombay Vindaloo and Instrumedley?

While I would want neither performed again, another improv jam LIKE Bombay Vindaloo would be awesome. An improv that is more focused on atmosphere than shredding, or a few soft keyboard patches while Petrucci goes nuts.
