"Space-Dye Vest" is the eleventh and final song from American progressive metal band Dream Theater's 1994 album, Awake.
The song is interspersed with samples from A Room with a View, The Fifth Estate, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Trouble with Evan and a news commentary by Jim Hill during the O. J. Simpson freeway chase.
[1] Singer James LaBrie said "Kevin Moore saw this photograph in a fashion magazine of a beautiful model wearing a space-dye vest and he fell in love with her.
"[2] Portnoy recalled that when the rest of the band first heard the song "we thought it was so very, very different we didn't think we even wanted to fuck with it.
Rudess performed the song live during a solo concert, with LaBrie featuring as a guest vocalist.
