Early Standing Band Dream Theater

Dream Theater was formed in September 1985, when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band to fill their spare time while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then met a drummer, Mike Portnoy, in one of the rehearsal rooms at Berklee, and after two days of negotiations, they had invited to join Mike Portnoy. After that, they all want to fill the two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci asked his band mates, Kevin Moore, to be a keyboard player. He agreed, and when Chris Collins asked to be the vocalist, the band was complete.

With five members, they decided to name the band by the name of Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, five of them were lined up tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box.
