Dream Theater - Japan Tour '93 Mp3

This is a cool bootleg which I had overlooked a) because I already had a version of this show called "Dream In Progress" b) because there are several soundboard recordings of DT from Japan in the early 90s, and they all start to run together. The soundboard recording of the Tokyo show presented on this set seems like it's higher quality than the Dream In Progress one, but it's still rather thin-sounding. It's the colorful bonus tracks you get on this bootleg which make up for that. The Club Citta recording is the first show after James LaBrie's notorious food poisoning accident (probably taken from the "Precious Things" CD). The Cover Medley/Innocence Faded overlaps with an official release, but sounds different (again, it might be taken from "Precious Things"). Burning My Soul is an outtake from the Once In A LIVEtime show. The Diamond Hall and Kokusai Forum tracks are very rare. I know there is a video for the Kokusai Forum one, though I've only ever found bad copies. Finally, the "Silly Tour Moment" is an incident which happened in Nottingham, England 1993 where James LaBrie went after an audience member who was singing obnoxiously, so Mike Portnoy ended up singing the end of the song in his stead. This recording originally traces back to one of Portnoy's 1994 appearances on the Nightwatch radio program with Mike Kelly, and was also featured on the "Stream Of Consciousness" CD from Prism Records.
