If you talk about "moments", well, I pick the ending of Octavarium during the Radio City Music Hall 2006 show for Score.

Climax of the song that was the climax of the concert that was the climax of their history at that point in time.

Or the Canadian Rap, hard to pick one.

I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

When WfS is reprised in LtL. My god is that a beautiful moment, I always listen to the two songs together because of it.

I wasn't there, but remember checking the forums that night for the setlist while playing LOTR monopoly with friends (yeah :metal). When the DVD was released, my bestie and I had a viewing party and given that Octavarium is one of my favorite songs . . . it was a hell of a moment.

Going to agree with this one. Those last 2-3 minutes of Learning to Live are just magical.

I have to agree with this. Plus it's the best show I've ever seen and I've seen many bands live.

Four that stand out for me:

The entire Fatal Tragedy instrumental

The "Move on be brave don't weep in my grave part of Spirit Carries On

"Clock on the wall, ticking away, sieze the day" from Change of Seasons.

"Im sick of all, you hypocrites" section of Change of Seasons as well.

Greatest moment.. Impossible to say, but one of their greatest moments captured in the early days I think is the Live in Tokyo version of To Live Forever. Just a great performance from everyone with an awesome instrumental jam and extended solos.

Geez, you're gonna make me pick... well right now I'll say the gong at the end of Six Degrees.  perfect ending to the best 42 minute piece in rock history.

I could also go for the beginning (the first seven notes or so) of the Razor's Edge solo in Octavarium on a different day.

That's pretty damn good, Splent.  :lol Forgot about that...classic.

Mine will always and forever be this golden nugget by Moore, along with a few other tidbits that are apart of this excerpt but this one takes the cake (runner ups include the condoms and the gift shop scenes):

She said, "I don't like Dream Theater that much, but I had a pen and some paper, so what the fuck?"

 :rollin :rollin I love it so much.

Score might be great for people that attended but the CD"s dont sound as good as Budokon which has the Hollow Years solo.
I was listening to that today and I think James picked a bad time to announce "John Petrucci"  almost ruined the moment.

Not sure if you mean a period in their career or a moment in a song, but I'd say the greatest period in their career is watching them crawl back from the doldrums of post-FII fallout that nearly broke the band (a compromised album that didn't do anything special for them, a dwindling fan base, a singer with a damaged voice, etc) and explode back with "Scenes From A Memory."

When Portnoy left.




Hahah, kidding! That's harsh! Umm, seriously though, I'd have to say probably, yeah, the 20th anniversary show. Definitely felt like a triumphant moment for them.
