Wow, a bold statement.
Indeed - their understanding of Queen and their execution of Queen is uncanny, but I'd still never give a knock-off band that much credit.
Not least because the original was done in a 16 track studio with little scraps of studio time at 3 in the morning.
But even if the cover is that much better, I always give more points to the creator. It's far easier to imitate and slightly better something than to create it to begin with.
Dream Theater - Tenement Funster /Flick of the Wrist / Lily of the Valley
Aterciopelados - Play the Game
Soda Stereo - Some day one day
Valensia - Liar
Valensia - My Fairy King
Concrete Blonde - Nevermore (live)
NIN - Get Down Make Love

^ Sounds too fast and too messy to me. Plus, the voice doesn't come close to Freddie's.
Dream Theater never did ANATO, there were rumours back in the day, but the album they did instead was Dark Side of the Moon (I saw the Amsterdam show). In London, the week before they only covered a single song from ANATO; Death on two legs.
They may have rehearsed the album, but never got to play it live.

Ok, if you're sure. I remember seeing a photo in the image gallery of one of their dvds that showed them on stage with the 'Dream Theatre Welcomes You To A Night At The Opera' backdrop. Must have been when they played DOTL.
I suppose if they had played it all it'd be as easy to find as the others. Ah well.
I love the SHA covers too but not so keen on Portnoy's backing vocals on FOTW. Great trilogy of songs though.

I think that every time Lambert sings Who Wants To Live Forever.
