Live Scenes from New York is a 3-disc live album by progressive metal band Dream Theater, recorded on August 30, 2000, at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Live Scenes from New York is the audio counterpart to the Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York DVD, released in 2001, except only the CD has the full concert. The third disc contains two videos of the concert that are not on the DVD, the music video for "Another Day", and Jordan Rudess's keyboard solo.

Drummer Mike Portnoy collapsed after the concert. He said, "I collapsed due to over-exhaustion, dehydration, stress, too little food and nutrition, too many Red Bulls, etc. It took me several hours of throwing up, being wrapped in blankets and laying down before I was carried out of the venue hours after the show."[3]

Cover artwork

Coincidentally, the album was originally released on September 11, 2001. Because the cover artwork depicts the New York skyline, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center, in flames, it was recalled and re-released shortly with the band's Majesty symbol in gold instead.[4] The original artwork was based on the cover for Dream Theater's 1992 album Images and Words, which includes a heart in flames and wrapped in barbed wire. In the heart’s place for this release was an apple instead, for New York City’s nickname "The Big Apple".

Live Scenes From New York es el tercer álbum en vivo en CD triple de la banda de metal progresivo Dream Theater, grabado el 30 de agosto de 2000 en el Roseland Ballroom de Nueva York. Fue originalmente lanzado el 11 de septiembre de 2001, pero al notar que el arte de la carátula mostraba el skyline de Nueva York, incluyendo las torres gemelas del World Trade Center en llamas, fue recogido y relanzado un corto tiempo después con un nuevo arte en la carátula. Algunas copias con el arte original aún existen, y son ahora ítems raros de colección.
