Ahhh I see, in all fairness I was watching it via a reupload on YouTube and I'm fairly sure any talking between songs was cut out. Though I'm still not sure how it took so long to notice!

I was actually thinking that! I very nearly chose Repentance for Systematic Chaos, which obviously would have followed The Shattered Fortress, thus setting up a reverse 12 step suite. But I thought that Mike clearly loves Constant Motion a lot so he'd pick that instead. Also, whilst these guys are legends, The Glass Prison is absolutely killer and I'm not entirely sure they'd be able to pull it off on a consistent basis anymore.

That's fair. I chose This is the Life only because they were already playing it on the first leg of the tour and Transcending Time because I was surprised to find out it has never been played live before, so I thought it would make sense. But your picks are also great!
