Dream Theater - Vacant, Stream Of Consciousness, Disappear - Madison Square Garden 2004

Features cellist Eugene Friesen. Soundboard audio from the 2004 fan club CD "A Sort Of Homecoming." Also one of only two live performances of Disappear, the other being the Live At Budokan show. Very moving performance of Vacant.

Damn, they should use this cellist more often. Badass!

[@Cantstandtherock]

I was at this show, Mike almost picked me to come up on stage and play drums but he picked a guy in a Megadeth shirt that couldn’t play a single stroke roll! One of the best shows ever!

The audio quality is amazing

[@shawnthemagician]

Ugh... I miss this dream theater :'(

[@pisspissababab4027]

I agree XD

[@THEmeepmopmoop]

I miss when they had Stream of Consciousness on their set.

@@demite5267They should bring back Stream Of Consciousness since Portnoy’s back

Soon enough my friend. Let's hope Labrie can hold the candle this time around. Maybe Mikey turns it around for him on tour.

Great sound! Awesome cellist 🤘

This was an excellent show. I was living in NYC at the time and took the subway down to MSG. Note that this was not the main arena, but rather "The Theater at Madison Square Garden" If anyone has the full show, please upload it. I know there's a bootleg DVD out there, but people seem very precious about it as it's never shown up on any trading sights. Great job syncing the audio by the way!

So much better than the score performance. Love this!

[@myturbulance]

which score? they didn't play this song in score

[@danielxavier7291]

​@@myturbulanceyes they did

[@giorgiomatraxiamusic4874]

Love It!!

[@mikebrueggman6666]

This is their best performance of all 3 songs. Vacant worked better with this minimal scoring compared to Score and the cello was a nice addition to SoC and Disappear

[@gianfrixmg]

100% right. Vacant in Score felt pretty weird. Disappear with a real cello feels haunting and gave me goosebumps.

[@anthonytabura6346]

Well if they were live in budokan then it says it all. Everybody stay safe and alive as much as possible out there right on rock on

[@stringunderhacker]

that cello player is so fucking metal like holyyy shiiiiiiit

[@alexandermonahan6446]

LaBrie kills it here

[@ezzafobia3263]

Disappear has to be their best song

[@TheDarkEternalKnight07]

A Change of Seasons cof cof. Just kidding, Disappear it's badass!

The drumstick spin, lol

[@j.d.harvis9184]

Was this at the Theatre at MSG? I may have been at this show.

[@arnavsawhney]

DT plays not for note so this got tagged as live at Budokan Version. Interesting!
