If this is what I think it is, I am insanely stoked by this release! I've listened to a bootleg version of A Change of Seasons in NYC 1993 countless of times and am beyond curious to hear how well it could sound here.

I'd listen to this.
It's not a bootleg version, A Change of Season was created during the I & W sessions/recording but didn't fit on the album, already one hour long. There is a live rendition of the song with Moore, live in Tokyo on youtube. Really cool, people forget Moore was part of creating ACOS.

Not sure if I'm Mandelaing myself, but I also remember it as if they had pitched A Change of Seasons being in it's own, second CD on Images & Words. Their label laughed in their faces.

I'm thinking of this version in particular that I hope is the same, but sounding better:

Yes, i also heard the story that they wrote so much for the I & W, they suggested a double album, but it was 1992, it was a risk the label would not take with a rather new band, they were right in that context.

This is the same as the old Official Bootleg New York City 3-4-93: https://www.discogs.com/release/15922160-Dream-Theater-Official-Bootleg-New-York-City-3493
