Tribond - Dream Theater edition

[wasteland]

  What a great find! Well, I guess the order has some kind of a meaning, but of course it's not what you said

[TheAtliator]

They've all three been used as both the opening song and the encore song.

[wasteland]

True but no 

[TheAtliator]

All on Images and Words

[wasteland]

Think live.

[TheAtliator]

All played on the Images and Words tour.

[wasteland]

Too easy! This is not an easy one.

[TheAtliator]

I got it!! They are often all three performed with an added "COME ON" before the instrumental and an added "YEA" as the very last lyric!!!

[wasteland]

Ok, it's a tad less outlandish that that 

And I think you should give me the answer to that other tribond I submitted to you some time ago 

[TheAtliator]

your inbox is full.  that's my excuse (not really). but it is full haha

What aspect of 'live' should we look at? Since I basically haven't seen any bootleg and don't want to search through Portnoy's tourography to find *something*, I have no idea where to start with just the 'think live' hint.

Well, it has to do with particular circumstances involving those songs being played. It's about novelities.

They have all been played as an encore in an album-promotional tour?

[wasteland]

No 

[HolidaysAnoraks]

Were they all first songs performed live with new members? I know UAGM was the first live song they did with Mangini, and I think Pull Me Under was the opening song of their first show with Rudess in 1994.

[TheAtliator]

Maybe Metropolis first show with JLB?

[wasteland]

HolidaysAnoraks got it, but it's the first song played by a new member upon officially joining the band.mso, PMU for Derek and James, Metropolis for Jordan and UAGM for Mike!

[HolidaysAnoraks]

Okay, I hope I didn't make this too easy...

Pull Me Under
Surrounded
Take The Time

This also has to do with their live performances.

[Scorpion]

All performed on the NYC show of '93, of which there is also an official bootleg?

[HolidaysAnoraks]

Nope. It's not quite as specific as that.

[Zydar]

They're all on Images And Words

[wasteland]

They appear on two official DVD releases? (LIT&LAB for PMU, LIT&CiM for TTT and Surrounded)

Welcome HolidaysAnoraks! Getting a tribon right is an awesome way to start posting here

[HolidaysAnoraks]

Thanks! And none of the guesses are right so far.  Do I need to give a hint?

[mellotron_scratch]

They've all been played with extended solos?

[wasteland]

They all featured snippets of other songs:

PMU -> Master Of Puppets
Surrounded -> Sugar Mice / Mother
Take The Time -> Various

Correct!

[Zydar]

Huh, I didn't know that!

[Elite]

Crap, I could have known this one

[wasteland]

Crap, I could have known this one

Go ahead, Zydar or Rich, I'm in no mood for creating one today 

Decide between yourselves who takes this

[Zydar]

Sorry, I have no inspiration to create one.

[wasteland]

Rich?

[Zydar]

Nah, poor.
