Dream Theatre is a killer band
I'd say all around a "better" pound for pound band but they are not a young band like Periphery so again not apples to apples eh? They have been playing and touring for many decades now while periphery by comparison are yet wet behind the ear.
But I get what your saying
You like more of a "live" somewhat loose feel. The Periph "sound" is really not about that though, it's really tight, modern, polyrythmic, prog/djent. A LOT like Meshuggah. Whom they borrow quite a bit from. Speaking of, Meshuggah also play to a click track and use ABLETON to do all their live patch changes. Again, just using technology to achieve consistency amid the variables of touring. I give them both kudos but I also give props to dream theatre who have no need for such things and can play the way they do without a net, without wires, as it were

I saw Periphery once, and it was an OK show, but there wasn't anything that would catch my attention as a non-fan(Does this expression exist?). The other band, Dream Theater put on a much looser show with no click track and more of a "live" feel (though I'm still not a fan of their music)
Btw, I think the professional thing would be changing it up, and still not doing any bad shows. Again, Ritchie Blackmore has no problem with setting up a ballad with a rock beat on the fly, and even if the band plays a few bad notes at first, these things just make a show for me
