why not...?
they do this as an extra for the audience. I think it's cool. But they don't seem to be doing this at every gig...

DT often plays an album from other artist. Something like a tribute I think? I know they did a Metallica album once.

Yeah, I know that DT do cover certain songs, but ~a whole Floyd album?~ I mean, Pink Floyd music is sacred stuff, man!  You can't have any old Tom Dick and Harry playing it! No, no, no! :o

Dream Theater started doing this a couple of years ago - if they play two nights at the same venue they play a full DT set for the first night, then on the second night the first half is DT (completely different songs to the previous night) then the second half they play a classic album in it's entirety. Only happens a couple of times per tour so it's a bit special. Previously they have played Metallica - Master of Puppets and Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast.....rumour has it they may play Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime another time...

They do this to break up the general monotony of a tour for both them and for fans who go to both nights at the same venue. In 2 nights, you can experience over 3-4 hours of DT material AND a cover of another classic album, played by some of the best musicians on the planet. Not bad IMHO.

Hope you enjoy it rocker666.

I'm sorry to learn that.  A friend of mine saw DT on their 'Train Of Thought' tour.  He said they were really good. :)  
I couldn't accompany him to that gig beacause of a wage disaster that month. >:(

Simillar to my not seeing Arena at the Mean Fiddler due to a recent financial disaster. :'(  

Oh well, next time... ABSOLUTELY -- 100% -- DAMN RIGHT! ;D
