^you're right!
They're a very talented group of musicians making their own style of music by forging together rock, prog rock, metal and about a million other genres into one very distinct sound. Dream Theater are true musicians and sound as flawless on stage as in their studio albums, this DVD is no exception.
This 2 DVD set comes with one disk with the full live concert with lyric subtitles and the other is a collection of special features including documetarys and a multi angle version of a medly played in the concert on Disk 1. The set list of the concert is a fair pick from their previous albums and of course a fair few from their latest release:
01. As I Am
02. This Dying Soul
03. Beyond This Life
04. Hollow Years
05. War Inside My Head
06. The Test That Stumped Them All
07. Endless Sacrifice
08. Instrumedley
09. Trail Of Tears
10. New Millenium
11. Keyboard Solo
12. Only A Matter Of Time
13. Goodnight Kiss
14. Solitary Shell
15. Stream Of Consciosness
16. Disappear
17. Pull Me Under
18. In The Name Of God
The production of this show is great. The picture quality is great and the lighting used in the show was great. The best part about the production was that the camera mainly focused on the instrument being played at that time, so we can be blown away with John and Jordan's solos! The whole gig seemed a lot more real as we got views of the crowd and the stage from far away, and also there were no split screens/visual effects infront of the band to distract you.
Overall, this DVD is much better than their last release in the way it makes you feel like part of the crowd, and less of a distant viewer at home. The selection of songs may have been a little better with a couple more tracks from earlier albums and Scenes From A Memory, but was still a really good choice. If this DVD were lost/stolen I would have to go out and get it again ASAP.
Rating: 5/5

Dream Theater - Brilliant.

How does this compare to the Metropolis 2000 DVD (Live in NYC) - that's also two DVDs (special features crammed into the second DVD).

^^ i'd put metropolis pt.2 live scenes in ney york over live in budokan because i don't think dream theater can top their playing metropolis pt. 2 non-stop... the whole album is essentially just one song...they just sort of divided it into 6 scenes...
