When guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band in their spare time while studying at the Berklee College of
Music, the pair came across drummer Mike Portnoy in one of Berklee's rehearsal rooms, where he was asked to join the band.
The trio started off by covering Rush and Iron Maiden songs in the rehearsal rooms at Berklee.
They then set out to fill the remaining positions in the group, so Petrucci asked his high school band-mate Kevin Moore to play keyboards.
After accepting the position, another friend from home, Chris Collins, was recruited as lead vocalist.
The beginning months of 1986 were filled with various concert dates in and around the New York City area.

In November 1986, after a few months of writing and performing together, Chris Collins left the band due to creative differences.
After a year of trying to find a replacement, Charlie Dominici successfully auditioned for the group.
With his stability, Dream Theater concentrated on writing more material while playing more concerts in New York and in neighboring states.
This eventually attracted the attention of Mechanic Records, a division of MCA.
Dream Theater signed their first record contract with Mechanic on June 23, 1988 and set out to record their debut album.
"When Dream and Day Unite" was released in 1989 to far less fanfare than the band had anticipated.
Mechanic ended up breaking the majority of the financial promises they had made to Dream Theater prior to signing their contract, so the
band was restricted to playing around New York City.
The promotional tour for the album consisted of just five concerts, all of which were relatively local.
Their first show was at Sundance in Bay Shore, New York opening for the classic rock power trio Zebra.

After the fourth show, Dominici was fired because of personal and creative differences.
Shortly after, however, the band Marillion asked Dream Theater to open for them at a gig at the Ritz in New York, so Dominici was given the
opportunity to perform one last time.
Until 1991, the band remained focused in an attempt to hire another singer and writing additional music.
It was during this period that they wrote the majority of what would become "Images and Words".
In January 1991, Kevin James LaBrie of glam metal band Winter Rose, was flown from Canada to New York for an audition.
LaBrie jammed on three songs with the band, and was immediately hired to fill the vocalist position.

Derek Shulman and ATCO Records, a division of Elektra Records, signed Dream Theater to a seven album contract based on a three song demo.
The first album to be recorded under their new record contract was 1992's "Images and Words".
For promotion, the label released a CD single and video clip for the song "Another Day", but neither made significant commercial impact.
The CD single "Pull Me Under" managed to garner a high level of radio airplay without any organized promotion from the band or their label.
In response, ATCO produced a video clip for "Pull Me Under", which saw heavy rotation on MTV.
The success of "Pull Me Under", combined with relentless touring throughout the U.S. and Japan,
caused "Images and Words" to achieve gold record certification in the States and platinum status in Japan.
A tour of Europe followed in 1993, which included a show at London's famed Marquee Club.
The show was recorded and released as "Live at the Marquee", Dream Theater's first official live album.
A video compilation of their Japanese concerts (mixed in with documentary-style footage of the off-stage portion of the tour and videos)
was released as "Images And Words: Live In Tokyo" (upped 23/3/2012 by yours truly).

Dream Theater toured extensively throughout 2005 and 2006 to celebrate their 20th Anniversary, including a headlining spot on Gigantour.
During a show on August 2, 2005 in Dallas, the band paid tribute to Pantera's late guitarist Dimebag Darrell by performing the song
"Cemetery Gates" as an encore.
In addition was the unexpected appearance of fellow musicians Russell Allen, Burton C. Bell and Dave Mustaine, who joined the band on stage to
perform parts of the song.
Dream Theater later departed from Gigantour and continued on with their own series of concerts.
The 20th Anniversary Tour concluded with a show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 1st, 2006.
Though the show had minimal promotion, it was sold out days after 6000 tickets were made available.
This show, which was recorded for a CD/DVD called "Dream Theater - Score: 20th Anniversary World Tour Live with The Octavarium Orchestra"
was released on August 29, 2006 through Rhino Records.
It was the final concert of their 20th Anniversary Tour, labeled "A Very Special Evening with Dream Theater".
The entire second half of the concert features a complete symphonic orchestra, dubbed "The Octavarium Orchestra", conducted by Jamshied Sharifi.
A condensed version of the concert was aired on VH1 Classic on August 25, 2006, 4 days before the release of the album and DVD.
