Dream Theater - “In The Presence of Enemies, Part 2”
from ‘Systematic Chaos’
I love how these songs bookend the album. Definite bonus points for the ‘Wish You Were Here’ format. :D

Dream Theater are no doubt one of my very favourite bands, however I have always had a love/hate relationship with James LaBrie’s voice. After suffering from a bout of food poisoning induced severe vomiting he ruptured his vocal chords and since then has never been able to sing to his full potential. Instead of bemoaning this fact and banging on about how frustrating he is now to listen to, I instead decided to post this vocal audition recorded in 1990 which demonstrates him at his peak and shows why the band simply had to sign him.
Sorry for the terrible quality, if you want to hear the finished product click here.
