Notes

Studio recording, 1991-1992 for 'Images and Words'. Petrucci used the Mark IIC+ for solos on this album, as confirmed by engineer Doug Oberkircher and Premier Guitar. Guitar was the JP6 prototype with custom DiMarzio pickups. No evidence of live rig or later signature models used on the studio recording.
