Miscellanea

★ It is a common misconception that in "Solitary Shell", at 2:13, Mike Portnoy plays the intro of U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday, where in fact he does not.

★ Budokan is the only Dream Theater live album not to include the song in full. However, excerpts of it are played during Instrumedley.

★ Some overdubs have been made as you can see John Myung making a mistake at the multiangle version of Instrumedley at around 3:15
