Pretty interesting to see, so far, that half of the votes have not gone to the band's only epic with Mangini.

Not sure which of the epics on the list you are considering their "only" epic.  :lol

What is perhaps the most interesting to me is that if I were to compare my list to a list of my top 10 pre-Mangini songs, I am not sure which list I would choose as my favorite.
I would guess that he was referring to Illu as being that "only" epic (it being 20+ minutes long, featuring multiple movements and all that) as of now. Some of the MM-era pieces do have somewhat epic(esque) proportion on some level IMHO though. (BITS, BAI, Outcry, PBD probably) What do I know. All of them pieces I love though. (and who knows, maybe DT15 will have one or more 10+ minute pieces or even one or two 20+ minute pieces. I'd welcome either variety.)

I'd say Breaking All Illusions is there one live Epic. It's been played on all but 2 tours. One was a major concept tour, and the other was a New Album and Anniversary tour, so it had to left off to let them play their new album epic. Or 2 if you consider At Wit's End an epic, I do.
I don't know how they can be so proud of winning with them odds. - Little Big Man

In chronological order. Very difficult, but the selections in bold were no-brainers for me.
