Train of Thought Tour was the 2004 world tour by Dream Theater, promoting their seventh studio album of the same name.  The tour used the now-familiar An Evening With Dream Theater format, playing lengthy shows with a surprisingly sharp emphasis on changing setlists and incorporating cover songs.  Early on in the tour, the band performed Train of Thought from start to finish in its entirety.  The tour began January 16, 2004 in Manchester, England and concluded September 22, 2004 in Monterrey, Mexico.

Howard Portnoy (Mike Portnoy's father) suggested the name Dream Theater when another band called Majesty threatened legal action over the use of the name.
