Live Scenes From New York is a recording of the progressive rock band Dream Theater at the end of their 2000 tour promoting their concept album . Recorded on August 30, 2000, the album was released on September 11, 2001 in 3CD digipack form. Co-inciding with the September 11, 2001 attacks the release attracted much media attention, as the original artwork included New York City (including the World Trade Center) in flames. The album was quickly recalled, making the original a highly desirable collectable amongst Dream Theater fans.The album was also released in DVD format, with an audio commentary with the band included, with concert footage complimented by visuals directed by drummer Mike Portnoy. Not a band to do things by halves, they employed a Gospel choir, an actor to play the part of the hypnotherapist and a cameo vocalist from the album's recording.
Also included on the DVD is a complete live performance of the epic A Change of Seasons, and the suite A Mind Beside Itself .
