Instrumedley is a live medley that was played in the Train of Thought era and was included on the Live at Budokan album and DVD.

The first known recorded appearance of this song was at the Modern Drummer Festival in 2003, which can be found on Youtube, along with the recording taken from the Budokan performance. However, the band was performing this medley as early as the World Tourbulence tour for Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.

Songs

This medley jumps between songs from a lot of their older material, from When Dream and Day Unite to Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory. The medley also includes bits of songs from Liquid Tension Experiment, another band that included Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess. The medley as a whole uses the song Scene Seven: I. The Dance of Eternity as a framework for the rest of everything.
