Dream Theater Songs With The Best Live Performances

The Top Ten

1 The Count of Tuscany

2 In the Presence of Enemies

The Chaos In Motion version is so good, I honestly forgot I was listening to a live performance.

3 In the Name of God

Especially the Live At Budokan one, which has an additional Petrucci solo at the end.

4 The Dance Of Eternity

5 Octavarium

Self-explanatory.

6 Another Hand/The Killing Hand

It has a different intro than the original song, The Killing Hand. I honestly like it a little more than the original but it’s really rare to see them play the original song live.

7 Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence

The Score version with the Octavarium Orchestra is amazing.

8 A Mind Beside Itself

The entire suite was played live on the Live Scenes From New York album. Just listen.

9 Metropolis Pt. 1 (The Miracle And The Sleeper)

Despite me thinking it’s slightly overrated and it not being my favorite from I&W, they add an extra instrumental break. Which is never a bad thing.

10 A Change of Seasons

From Live Scenes From New York. Literally everything is perfect there

The Contenders

11 Instrumedley

12 The Ministry of Lost Souls - Dream Theater
