Dream Theater Showcase

I don't remember if this kind of thread has been done before. I thought it would be fun to post some live Dream Theater shows where the band is on point or it is just a great energetic show. Shows that showcase the best of the band. I am watching one show now of the Along For The Ride Tour and it is actually way better than the show that is officially released. JLB and the band are on point and that energetic atmosphere is there.

I've never seen that show. That looks awesome. I love daylight outdoor shows. I'll watch it tonight!

It being a daylight outdoor show is a big reason why I watched it.

I remember I did posted that show in BTFW offical thread because James is better on this. He just slayed every song and hit notes effortlessly here where he seemed to struggle a bit in the offical release. (Though his performance on the DVD is amazing too.)

Watch any show from 2002-2009!

That's "Outcry" live in 2012 in Singapore. The band's in-ear monitors didn't work correctly, but the guys still played the song. Afterwards, JP said a few words about it: https://youtu.be/mbaYELnRyMo

I just watched illumination Theory from that and it is awesome!!!  It's amazing towards the end of the song how that dude managed to not spill his beer while swinging his arms from side to side. That takes skill! 🍺
