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

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.

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.

I agree with this.
