The latterday hard rock/progressive powerhouse, Dream Theater covers a forgotten Rush tune from the b-side of 2112.

Steve Says

Dream Theater is an incredible band that all Rush fans love. If you haven't heard them you owe it to yourself to give them a try.

There are 3 known recordings of different live Dream Theater concerts that contain this cover. I happened to choose the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club recording (aka the "Uncovered" show) because DT released it especially for their fans on a Fan Club Christmas cd. Part of this show (without Tears) was released on their cd A CHANGE OF SEASONS.
