Dream Theater played their first show with original drummer Mike Portnoy since 2010 on October 20, 2024 at The O2 Arena in London, England. As promised, the show was a deep dive into their 40-year catalog where Dream Theater pulled out a boatload of songs they haven't played in years – including the two epics "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" and "Octavarium".
