This live album doesn't get talked about much but I think it's awesome!  Show your appreciation!   :D

I imagined the story to go more like this.

I was sitting a traffic light blaring Space Dye Vest and next to me in another car was Kevin Moore. And I'll never be open again.

Easily my favorite live album. LSFNY gets praised for the setlist but the band sounds like they're having so much damn fun on OIALT.

I probably listen to this live disc more than any other of DT's official live releases.

Not a very good performance.  I have never listened to this album much.

I can't remember how good the perfomances were, but the mix was terrible in my opinion. Bad enough anyway that I never listen to it.

Was the version of TTT on here the reason they ommited the middle verse from future live performances? As everyone is well aware, James really much shits the bed during it :P
I don't actually own the album, but I've heard clips. I do own the DVD companion piece, though,
and enjoy the footage on there a lot.

Nah everyone who says this is crap is just wrong, tbh.  This album is the one that got me into DT.  Its not their best live release but it still kicks anus.

Haven't listened to it in a while. I do remember that Lines in the Sand had some cool live-variations.

One of my favorite live albums of DT.
I love all the solos too.

Wow, interesting thread.  I honestly wasn't previously aware of anyone who could say anything positive about this album beyond, "well, it was a good set list and there are a few pretty cool moments, but...uh, yeah, that's all I got," let alone people who actually love it.

Oh yea, I forgot about Petruccis solo. Love it. Wish his modern solos were a bit more like that and not so predictable.

To me, the cd felt uninspired.  The DVD I loved for all the behind the scenes stuff and Derek Sherinian. The guy has charisma

The JP solo spot is pretty boring to me, the Tourbulence solo spot is heck of alot better!

and the rest of OIALT isn't really my cup of tea

I really only bought this live CD to complete my collection. James sounds really bad a lot of the time.

It's more of a mellow solo, like on "An evening with Jordan and petrucci" :)

Yea, listening to it now. It's just so...predictable. It's EXTREMELY beautiful and amazing, but the OIALT one is just more fresh and inspired I thought.

I'm probably the only one who really digs the Freebird outro of Take The Time, right?

Jeez, what a weird choice that was.  Especially in France!

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I was fine with it. It was such a fresh choice. I liked when DT weren't so predictable.

LaBrie did not hit an F# on that album.
