It would be a bit difficult to precisely find out, but what could possibly be the song where James starts to sing the earliest, and the latest?

For the latest, it's probably Octavarium, followed by In the Presence of Enemies pt 1. But which song has the least amount of time from the start of the song, to James starting to sing? Take away my pain? any of the simpler, shorter songs such Wait for Sleep or I Walk Beside You? if live versions count, it's Take away my pain off Once in a Livetime, he literally starts the song by singing and the others coming in.

Now you mentioned it, I think there's not even one DT song where the vocals begins alone (like Dancing With The Moonlit Knight or Carry On My Wayward Son - although in the latter one it's more than one singer).

It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

I actually thoguht about it one time.. I remember thinking in Fatal Tragedy, The Silent Man and Prophets of War, in that order... but yeah, totally forgot about TSCO, that one beats them all..

And yes, now with TA there's WotW, My Last Farewell, and Lord Nafaryus too..

If we go along that way, the Overture from Six Degrees has never been played live.... by DT.

The only time it was actually performed live, an orchestra played it, not DT.

Yeah, I think this is a special case too.. They didn't play it because they simply can't, as someone explained.. Not like FAS, which they actually can play as a band..

I found some setlists from the tour supporting Six Degrees, and it seems like the whole suite was performed on that tour!
Nope. You can't always trust setlist.fm to be 100% accurate anymore than you can trust Wikipedia to be 100% accurate.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Dream Theater has released 63,017 seconds of studio material across 148 tracks (including ACOS title track).


This means that the average length of a DT song is 426 seconds, or 7:06

I assume that's a Majesty logo shaped graph that lists all the words used by DT given more prominence to the most used ones, right?

Where are anyway the words "water" and "edge" in big?  :biggrin:

Which realistic songs they could do anyway? The Quest for something? too power metal. Quo Vadis? Quantum of Solace? can DT do Bond songs?

Zeitgeist? Stratovarious had a song "Zenith of Power". Zelda maybe?  ;D
