It’s 1992… you walk into the record store to buy Images & Words… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! You HAVE to buy something else… what records are you buying? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!

You’ve got two 90-minute sets and one encore… and you have to create your ultimate Dream Theater live concert setlist! What songs are you choosing, where are you placing them… and why? On this episode, Jon and Brian give you THEIR ultimate setlists!

On this special bonus episode of TII, we dive into James LaBrie’s new solo album A Beautiful Shade Of Grey with co-writer Paul Logue, Chance LaBrie, and none other than James LaBrie himself!!

On this episode, we bring on none other than The Wizard himself… keyboard master Jordan Rudess! We talk about his upcoming solo tour, his love of combining music and technology and, of course - Dream Theater!

It’s 1989… you walk into the record store to buy When Dream And Day Unite… and the clerk tells you that you CAN’T buy it! You HAVE to get something else… what records are you picking up? We give OUR choices for what we’d buy when we can’t have what we really want – the new Dream Theater record!

We are stepping out of our DT comfort zone and doing our first-ever off-DT episode! In the past we’ve discussed talking about bands that influenced Dream Theater, and on this show – we are finally putting our money where are mouths are! We are digging into one of the very best concept records of all time… Queensryche’s Operation: Mindcrime. The only challenge here… can we find ANYTHING negative to say about it?

Here we go… Album Cage Match #4! Outside of Train of Thought, many DT fans consider these two records as the heaviest in the band’s catalog! This is a heavyweight slugfest between two fan-favorite records – and two that Brian gained appreciation for after doing a deep dive into each on previous episodes. Which of these two slabs of thunderous prog metal will come out victorious?
