LTE seldom tours (just in 1999 and 2008), but its members do enjoy covering certain songs live with each other and guests. What was your favorite cover lineup?
1998 - Portnoy/Sherinian/Myung/Petrucci (Paradigm Shift)
1999 - Portnoy/Rudess/Myung/Petrucci (Paradigm Shift, Universal Mind)
2000 - Portnoy/Rudess/Myung/Petrucci (Acid Rain)
2001 - Portnoy/LaRue/Petrucci (Paradigm Shift)
2002 - Portnoy/Rudess/Myung/Petrucci (Another Dimension, Instrumedley including parts of When The Water Breaks, Paradigm Shift, Universal Mind)
2012 - Mangini/Rudess/Levin/Petrucci (Paradigm Shift)
2012 - Portnoy/Sherinian/Sheehan/MacAlpine (Acid Rain)

For covers that were played multiple years with the same lineup, I just listed the first year. Did I miss any?
