In total, it has been played live 638 times as of December 2017, making it Dream Theater's second most played song after "Pull Me Under". Metropolis has also been played as part of many medleys, including "Metropolis"/"Learning to Live"/" The Crimson Sunset", which closed Once in a LIVEtime, the " Instrumedley", which was included on the Live at Budokan album, and "Pullmeopolis", a mashup with " Pull Me Under" that has never been commercially released. This version was released on Live at Luna Park.
In recent years, it has often been performed as the final encore, allowing the band to extend the solo section and James LaBrie to address the crowd. The song was originally written when original singer Charlie Dominici was in the band, and was played live at every show in 1989, although this version had a different intro and a slightly shorter outro. The song instantly became a live favorite even before the song's actual release, opening many of Dream Theater's early shows. Much like " Pull Me Under", "Metropolis" is one of the band's most popular live songs, and is played often and with many variations. These song bits evolved into their own album, Metropolis Pt.
2" were never written and the only recording of the whole song is a rough rehearsal. The second song was originally conceived as a twenty-minute epic for Falling into Infinity it was cut from that album at an early state, before the song was completed. As fan demands began to increase, however, the popularity of the song eventually led to a second song being written. "Part I" in the title was originally added by John Petrucci as a joke, as no sequel was ever intended. "Metropolis-Part I: 'The Miracle and the Sleeper'" was originally known as "Crumbling Metropolis." Sometime around 1989, "Crumbling" was dropped.
