Tapers Notes:
Another "Intimate Evening with Dream Theater", with a setlist almost identical to Stained Glass. I love these type of shows, not only for the rarely-played songs but for the candid, laid-back chatter (at one point James says, "Just so you know, we're NOT playing "Take the Time" tonight, so stop screaming for it!") There are two other shows like this, recorded a day before and 2 days after this gig, but this one has the best sound quality of the three (A/A+ audience.) Live at Irving Plaza has some extra songs, though...
Of prime interest are the two cover songs, Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You" (nice!!) and Rush's "Different Strings", which ends with a medley of "Analog Kid" and "La Villa Strangiato" (plus a snippet of "Cygnus X-1" at the start.) There's also a rare rendition of "Hell's Kitchen", a short, impromptu jam of Led Zep's "Rock and Roll" and Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" at the end of "Hollow Years", and a surprise return of NIGHTMARE CINEMA on "Perfect Strangers"! Man, I gotta get my ass to one of these "Home for the Holidays" shows someday...if only they didn't always play them in NYC/NJ/Philly in the DEAD OF FUCKING WINTER...
