LaBrie sounding not really good in here has to do with the equalization of the boot, I think. This recording is somewhat deficient in its low end, lots of the low frequencies are modified so they are heard more clearly, but without that specific spectrum. I totally believe that LaBrie's voice is not easily handled by recording devices, as it's indeed very full and it has to be worked very carefully. I have another boot recorded on this tour...Paris, I think. And LaBrie sounds Godly indeed. The sound quality isn't as clear as the one found in this bootleg, but the low sounds are heard more as "bass" and LaBrie's voice sounds very full and powerful. That's my little analysis  :D

I've only listened to ANTR and AROP, but so far, JLB sounds almost as bad as he did on Chaos in Motion (on certain parts)

And I still think that AROP is the worst song for them (live). All the vocals sound horrible.

The whole band sounds off at a lot of spots in AROP. I'm sorry for being such a downer but... I thought that they were performing better than this lately. Maybe my ears are going bad and I'm hearing things...

And I love Dream Theater  :'(

EDIT: Certain things are really good though, but all the talk of James being "amazing and almost as good as the I&W era" that I've been hearing on the forums is false (according to my ears)

I don't know what you're smoking, but James sounded fucking amazing on this show. There were one or two spots where he wasn't spot on (I remember a bit of ITNOG was off), but he nailed most of it.

Well, maybe I jumped the gun in assuming that he sounded like this all the time. He did sound really good on a Lie video (where he is wearing the trenchcoat) from this year, so maybe it was an off night.

OR it could possibly be the equalization as DarkLord said. Blob, have you heard the boot, or are you speaking from being at the show?

I trust your judgement, but his voice sounds very... weird. Not nasally like Chaos in Motion, but just awkward. It is somewhat enjoyable, but my initial reaction was to turn it off and pretend like I never found it.

I still haven't heard a ton of it yet, so please excuse my ignorance if I'm wrong about this. I will post again once I've heard most of it, but as I said, ANTR did not sound that great to my ears.

Hopefully it is just the equalization.

I really think it's the equalization. In what other way can you explain people that went to the show telling that LaBrie was in Godmode and sucky in SOME recordings? I mean, even the guitar sounds flat in some points and that's worth of pointing  :lol

I must admit, I really don't understand equalization or anything dealing with sound (all I know how to do is  :metal), so my feeble mind can't comprehend such a huge difference between a bootleg and being at the concert.

I apologize if I offended you Blob.

If, apparently (unless I'm even more stupid and other people disagree once they hear this bootleg), this bootleg was "a great quality recording," why is it that other bootlegs that are recorded with worse equipment sometimes sound bad, but make the band sound great?

Also, I'm sorry if I'm wording this post weird. I'm really tired, and I'm hastily trying to write an essay for school (about Dream Theater  ;D), but I wanted to chime in and ask that question.

There are parts of this show where I would love to hear a soundboard vocal from James because in some spots, he sounds pretty strong, but the recording doesn't seem to do it justice. MP sounds ferocious on this, drummingwise!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Thanks a lot!  Can't wait for this!

Why is it so big?

I guess I'll chime in my thoughts on James' vocals. 

He sounds a teansy, teansy bit flat in some areas to my ears, but overall I find it enjoyable.  I try not to judge performances I wasn't at, but based on the way he's singing things I could imagine why it'd seem like he was in God-mode to much of the audience.

Its in lossless FLAC. It is typically against the rules to upload a lossy (mp3) version when there is a lossless one available. :)

And you're all welcome! Thanks to trial of tears for torrenting it!

Sorry to annoy you guys... but

I downloaded one of the bootlegs, and I have all the files, but in FLAC format. Whenever I download things like this I can always get them into iTunes, but I can't simply drag and drop the files into iTunes with these (probably because if the format). Can anyone help me out? Thanks

I've been having trouble adding tags to these, which makes them stick out from the rest of my bootlegs in winamp.  Oh well.

You can download a program called "Trader's Little Helper" which will decode these files into WAV form, making them more versatile and easy to handle.

I can't leave utorrent up all the time anymore because there are 3 laptops sharing the wifi connection in our house now. It seriously bogs down the internet...

I can leave it up later tonight, though

Just noticed this:

Listen to Prophets of War on the Sydney show.
At the starting, a few people get REALLY pissed off. You have to listen pretty close, but you can hear a guy go "nooo, no no no..." and then start yelling.
It's pretty funny.

Ok, so I finally decided to indulge and get a torrent, exclusively for downloading these bootlegs (I used to be an AVID downloader, but I've become really opposed to it in the last few years), and I've just gotta say...

THESE BOOTLEGS ARE THE SHIT.  WOW, I have been missing out on some fantastic live material...obviously the quality isn't quite up to Score level, but I did NOT expect them to be this great...really enjoying these (especially the Sydney one, that is one fantastic setlist) and being surprised by what's on all of them. 

One question though, what are the Images and Words Beartracks Tapes?  Perhaps a documentary on the early stages of Petrucci's evolution into bear-mode...?
