Dream Theater - First Show with Derek Sherinian - Innocence Faded live in Providence, RI 1994

The quality isn't very good, but because of how historic this recording is, it's definitely worth listening to. James totally nails the second verse! It's interesting how James says that this is the first show of the Waking Up the World tour, since he also said that at the September 9th, 1994 Foundations Forum show in California (A show best known as "The Rudess Experiment"). However, that was a one-off show performed before Awake was released, and was billed as the "Pre-Awake Show", so it's technically not considered part of the tour.

4:37 - That's what it's all about for me... very "Focus".

Sylvia/Hamburger Concerto, bit of Yes too.

Then it goes nuts with one of the best instrumental sections ever heard.

Live it sounds a little bit like their debut album. I think Images & Words was the best they ever composed and recorded.

The instrumental section/solo of this, "Lie", and "Erotomania" are great from this record though for sure,
