Small update. I just got an email from a person, who was kind enough to tell me that I made a small mistake with the artwork and I saved one file as a PSD. For those of you who don't know what to do with a PSD file and can't open it, here is a link to the artwork with only JPGs in it. Click here to download the good version of the artwork. Sorry for the inconvenience. :)

Happy 5th birthday www.trialoftears.net! Yes, folks. It's been five years since I launched this website. It's great to see that there is still a lot of interest in Dream Theater related artwork and multimedia. Here's hoping for another 5 years. Now on to the update. I thought that for the 5th birthday I need something special and since we already had RJPass' AMAZING LA DVD, that was pretty much out of the game, so I came up with probably the second best audience video bootleg there is. I am talking about a show from the Train of Thought tour, more specifically 2004-03-25 Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada. This is a two disc set and it's a really good recording. I also made some artwork for it a few years ago. So without further ado. Go over to the sounds page and download the torrent.

As promised a few weeks ago. July came and here we are with a new Bootleg of the Month. And what can I say. I am TOTALLY excited to announce this month's BOTM. To say that this is a stellar release would be an understatement. It is an AMAZING bootleg. First of all the quality of it is top notch, we could almost say it's soundboard sourced, but it's not and still it sounds excellent. Secondly, the performance itself is out of this world. Thirdly, the track listing can't get better (When The Water Breaks is in there, so it can't be a bad show). And if you were thinking all along that we are talking about a Dream Theater bootleg all along, you are wrong. This month's bootleg of the month is none other than a show from the 10th Anniversary Reunion Tour of Liquid Tension Experiment. Yes, you heard it right, LTE had a mini tour throughout the US this past week and this particular show is from the B.B. King in New York City - 2008-06-23 (the second show from that day, to be more specific). A HUGE Thank You! goes out to the guy who taped this amazing show and who was generous enough to offer this up. Thank You Smokescreen!!! I chose this show as bootleg of the month, because I am sure many people are interested in hearing a recording from the most recent LTE tour. So without further ado, go over to the sounds section, download this amazing recording and enjoy it. I know, I have.

UPDATE: I just uploaded a zip file with some 700+ photos from the most recent LTE Tour. There is also a text file with links to videos and reviews. Click HERE to download the .zip file.

No update for quite some time. But I have something different and interesting this time around. First off we have the Chaos In Motion Tour 2007/2008 Tour Pictures, which is a zip file of around 700Mb and it contains some 4000+ pictures from the most recent Chaos In Motion World Tour 2007/2008, that just ended a few weeks ago. If you didn't have the chance to go to a show and you only got to hear audio boots until now, this is your chance to see some amazing pictures. I have to mention here that I can't take credit for any of these pictures, I just saved them throughout the tour from various sites and various forums. So if there's a picture, that you don't want to see up here, please let me know and I'm going to remove them.

Second off we have a few interviews with Mike Portnoy. Mike had several appearances at Eddie Trunks radio show. Here are the interviews from 2007 and 2008 (which are related to Systematic Chaos and the Chaos In Motion tour). Go to the sounds section and scroll down.

Enjoy!

P.S.: A new bootleg of the month is going to be up at the beginning of July.

Wow. I know. It's been a while since I updated the site. I just didn't have the time to update in the past months, I was just working, working and constantly working. I'm sure many of you checked back to see if there's a new bootleg. (I hope you enjoyed the LA video in the meantime) Well there is one right now! This shows is from the Evening With Shows from Tilburg, Holland (04/15/1997) from before Falling Into Infinity came out. They are playing the new material, which includes Hell's Kitchen as well, which was still part of Burning My Soul at that time. And there are a few other goodies there as well. The Killing Hand '97 version and Caught In Alice's Nine Inch Tool Garden (a twisted version of Caught In A Web). So check it out! Hope you enjoy it. And I promise I try to get back into the habit of posting one bootleg each month. :)
