0:00 To Live Forever acoustic
5:14 Learning To Live [sometimes called "4-Part Harmony Demo"]
16:18 Take The Time
These are sourced from a bootleg called "Before I Was Dreaming Of Going To The Theater," and although they are described as "auditions," all of these years later, I'm not certain they actually are - they could be rehearsals or pre-production demos leading up to Images & Words. Here are some tidbits about James' early days with Dream Theater, that I found in a magazine article:
How did you join the band, James?
JLB: I heard the "Images" demo and was completely blown away. I auditioned and we jammed one full night. Next day, we started a 4-track demo.
MP: The day you flew in (9th January '91), the Gulf War started!
JLB: Yeah! ... Then on the 19th, we did the rehearsal.
MP: Gee! I don't remember the exact date!
JLB: It was a very big day or me. We went to John Myung's and worked on the song "A Change Of Seasons." I was only down for five days but we got quite a bit done. Then the guys pursued ATCO.
