Trivia

edit
  • In 2004, Live in Tokyo was released as Disc 1 of the Images and Words: Live in Tokyo / 5 Years in a LIVEtime DVD re-release. A commentary track by the band members was included on the DVD.
  • "Puppies on Acid" was a song originally written for live performances and as seen on this video is used for an intro to "Take the Time"; this intro was later made into a full song which would become "The Mirror" on Awake, released in 1994.
