It's not uncommon but REM recorded "New Adventures In HIFI" on the road whilst touring Monster.

In 2008, the jazz trio Medeski-Martin-Wood toured for some time only playing new, unreleased, mostly improvised pieces. After the tour was over, they recorded all those pieces, and released a trilogy of albums called Radiolarians in 2009 (I've listened to Radiolarians III, and I like it).

I think it would be cool if DT did something like that - if they played new written/improvised music for some part of each show, and later on recorded and released it as their new album.
That would be really cool, except that that isn't remotely like anything they would ever do.  They've never really been an improv/jam band, and what little they HAVE done in the past, they are getting further and further away from, with slaving themselves to backing and click tracks.

A Change of Seasons
Trial of Tears
In the Presence of Enemies
Solitary Shell/About to Crash (Reprise)/Grand Finale

Intermission

Octavarium
Count of Tuscany
In the Name of God
Learning to Live
Illumination Theory

While that is completely unrealistic, if it were to happen, A Change of Seasons would not be in the middle of the set. It would probably be an encore song.

Fine, Mark it an encore.  By unrealistic I assume you mean awesome. https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/Smileys/default/headbang.gif  Keep in mind that with all the long songs will be like James singing an 90 minute show for a normal band.
