Just click here (http://www.mp3.com/albums/20120685/summary.html) and you'll get an impression of the new CD/DVD.

Have fun. 8)
Great! Thanks for the link. I seriously can't wait 'till the 29th!
Tom
I always look forward to DT new releases
I'm listening now! :)
In this version of The Root Of All Evil Jordan Rudess' keyboard comes out much better than on the one on the studio-album.
In fact, I don't know wether the original has those keyboards in it or not...
Sounds great anyway! The DVD must be amazing I can imagine!
Since YouTube is very popular on the Frost-board, I keep looking back for some more funny stuff!
And Dream Theater has quite a lot!
Check these!

September 1st, if i'm correct. Which means i have to wait a couple of days longer. :'(
Yeah here in Holland it isn't out yet. Yesterday I asked it in a few recordshops here in Rotterdam, and the answer was in almost every store that they expect it to arrive on friday or saturday.
So I have to be patient for a couple more days........aaaarrghhhh ;)
Hmm, I hope my musicstore will have it on friday or saterday. I think they only get new cd's on tuesday though...
It's out on Monday here in the UK - can't wait!! *horns*
Finally I've got both the cd and the dvd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not very impressed by the first cd, but the second (6 degrees with orchestra) sounds reeeeeaaaally good! haven't listened to the third disc yet, but I will do that now. Octavarium ánd Metropolis with orchestra :o

I was only joking, I think I already bought too much cd's, but it's always nice too discover new groups, I havent' been to the cd shop for a whilemaybe the new album score will be a reason, if it is as good as Train of Thought and Octavarium and the rest I will be buying it I think.
It's a Three cd live album. 1 cd with just the band, 1 cd with the orchestra and the band playing 6 degrees and 1 cd with the orchestra playing Octavarium and Metropolis.

So in fact no new album
If you don't count live-albums as albums, yes. But there are two new songs on this live album.
Quote from: Appelmoes?? on Sat, 2006-09-02, 19:54:02

Really? And are they good?
And this Live DVD is it with exactly the same tracks as the three disc CD album? Also with an orchestra etc?
Second question, can you buy this in some sort of deluxe edition with both the DVD and the CDs in one?
I don't know ;)
That Six Degrees live is just awesome, and really liking the 3rd disc with some of the more laid back tunes on it, then BAMMMM it hits you right between the eyes about a third of the way through Sacrificed Sons and on to Octavarium. Excellent stuff!
*edit* second disc, thats what i ment, my head hurts.....
Quote from: PH on Sat, 2006-09-02, 20:19:28

Well, to be honoust, they're not quite new. "
Another Won" is from the Majesty-period, which was DT's first original name and "
Afterlife" is a track from the
"When Day And Dream Unite album".QuoteAnd this Live DVD is it with exactly the same tracks as the three disc CD album? Also with an orchestra etc?
Yes, the CD is with the same tracklisting as the DVD but with out the extra's off course. ;)
QuoteSecond question, can you buy this in some sort of deluxe edition with both the DVD and the CDs in one?
Not to my knowledge. Unfortunately that's a thing DT doesn't do very often. :-\
Hmm ok thanks Madoc, I mean Maddox. ::)
I'm gonna buy it anyway. I saw "Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York DVD" in a shop for 8,99 euros.
Is it any good?
I need to make a wishlist once again...

I tend to agree with you on that part. Besides The Root Of All Evil the fireworks really begin for me with Under A Glass Moon. Raise The Knife is excellent too as well is The Spirit Carries On but other than that this is not the way to celibrate your twentieth birthday as a band. The other tracks are nice to hear, well except I Walk Beside you that is, but i rather hear those tracks as a bonus instead as a part of the whole show. James' voice is great and so are the other guys and the DVD is better than Live In Budokan for instance but i can't surpress the feeling "what if they did some other songs?"
Indeed, from CD two on, the show really begins. *horns*
Ok cool, but:
TWENTY-FOUR SOMETHING BLOODY EURO'S?!?!?!?! :o :o >:( >:( For those 3 CD's??????
Argh.... I still want it! ;D And the DVD too! I might buy the Metropolis 2000 also and maybe even the Dark Side Of The Moon DVD.
Maddox, I think it was you who bought the DSOTM DVD by Dream Theater, right?
Is it any good? I heard it was a bootleg DVD, which immediately brings me to the question: is it professional.........
I want it to have nice sound and video, if it is like Smoke & Mirrors it can be considered "bought". ;D

No, sadly enough i didn't bought it yet. I got the 2cd though of The Dark Side Of The Moon and i can tell you that it's marvelous.
It's a bootleg but the sound is far better than the crap bootlegs you can buy on the black market. It's almost a geniune live album.
I can imagine that the DVD is just as good though i don't know anything about the videoshoot. That might be crap for that matter but i'll have to get back to you on that. I can ask it to someone who knows. 8)
Btw, thanx for the reminder of buying the DVD too. 8)
Hey PH,
I have the Dark Side Of The Moon DVD and I can tell you that it's a must-have. Especially if you're a fan of Dream Theater and/or Pink Floyd. Regarding the quality: It is top notch. Both sound and video are superb. It was professionally recorded and released through Ytsejam Records, the bands own label for "Official Bootlegs", as they're called. Official Bootlegs can ONLY be bought through www.ytsejamrecords.com.
And BTW, don't think about it any further, just BUY the Live Scenes From New York DVD! You won't regret it!
If you want more information on DT releases, just ask...... ;D

Well, PH. There's nothing more i can add really. Asked a friend about it and he said almost the same thing.
Oh, there was one thing more he said and i quote:
Buy them. Now 8).
Thanks for the info guys!
I'll see what I can do.
Today I bought Score (DVD (21,99 euro) AND CD (17,95)) Bargain!
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like it!
The ONLY thing I don't like is Petrucci's hair, the rest is perfect!
The orchestra is a VERY NICE addition!!! Oh my oh my that was GREAT!!!
I can vouch for the quality of the DSotM dvd, it's fantastic. I was at Hammersmith Odeon on the night they filmed it and was right next to one of the cameramen at the front of the balcony - he was getting hassled all the way through by stupid security people, I'm amazed he was able to get such good shots, and it's a brilliant performance by the band.
As for Score, I've watched it several times now and I have to say it's close to being my favourite live dvd of all time.
Mad, I'm going to disagree with you for the first time ever ( :D ;)) because I think the set list is fantastic and is a marvellous celebration of their career. I think my only gripe would be the inclusion of I Walk Beside You, rather than include at least a short section of A Change of Seasons. But after that, having Another Won, Afterlife, Under A Glass Moon, Innocence Faded, Raise The Knife and The Spirit Carries On back to back at the end of the first set is just amazing. Btw, Raise The Knife is the other previously unreleased track, as opposed to Afterlife :)
The second set with the orchestra is just phenomenal. By the time it reaches the guitar solo at the end of Octavarium I get goosebumps and can feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. First time through I was standing up and cheering the dvd. It's just awesome *horns*
I watched Budokan again last night just to compare. I actually think that it's better in terms of image and sound quality, but the set and the performance on Score are far superior.
Love the guy in the orchestra giving the horns sign at the end of Octavarium, too :D *horns*

Quote from: Appelmoes?? on Tue, 2006-09-12, 17:05:44

Yes exactly ;)
So it isn't a previously unrealeased track like Raise the Knife ;)
Quote from: Appelmoes?? on Tue, 2006-09-12, 17:13:01

Er, that's what I said:
"Raise The Knife is the other previously unreleased track,

;)
D'oh! :o
Sorry, Read to fast ;)
Another question? Why do so many people think 'I Walk Beside You' is so bad? I love that song. Ok, mainly because the words have a special meaning for me. When I bought Octavarium, my (at that time) girlfriend was having a burn-out, so the lyrics kind of made sense to me. But besides that I like the melody lines of the lyrics (very good sing-a-long live I think) and the music in general is very uplifting and creates a feeling of 'support' if you know what I mean. I think songs that can create a mood are almost always beautiful and it needs talent from the writers to be able to make songs like that :)
Well, that's what tink ;)
Quote from: Appelmoes?? on Tue, 2006-09-12, 18:23:49
D'oh! :o

No problem mate ;D
Personally, I don't think "I Walk Beside You" is bad at all, I really like it. It's a great change of pace on the Octavarium album, very catchy and short and to the point. On Score, though, they play 4 other tracks from Octavarium - I just think it would've been great if they'd played at least some of A Change of Seasons instead or (bearing in mind A Change of Seasons has already appeared on the Live Scenes From New York cd and dvd) something like Scarred, which I've heard but never
seen them perform live. But I fully accept that they were out there not just celebrating 20 years but also promoting the new album, so it's a minor criticism in my opinion ;D
I really like "I Walk Beside You", it's indeed a very uplifting song and the lyrics are good.
About the Octavarium tracks.
They played:
The Root Of All Evil
The Answer Lies Within
I Walk Beside You
Sacrificed Sons
Octavarium
In my opinion they should have included Panic Attack and/or Never Enough.
I could have done without The Answer Lies Within or (in that case) I Walk Beside You or Sacrificed Sons.
But overall the DVD is really brilliant!

Didn't watch Budokan after Score yet but i think you are right. The footage is a bit better than score. But who's complaining? I'm not. :D
Btw. I seemed to notice a women in the orchestra, playing the violin, who had this face like: "Where the hell have i got myself into? :o"
That was fun. :D
Can you post a screenshot for those that don't have the DVD?

Those are my thoughts as well. Was there last year in Amsterdam and they played Never Enough and These Walls and man, those song really *horns*. Would love to hear them on the CD/DVD. Then it definitly would be the CD/DVD of the year. 8)

I think the leader is still the only DT-fan of the orchestra. :D
The songs from Octavarium that they didn't play when they recorded the Score-DVD are included on last years international fanclubs DVD 'A Walk Beside The Band'. This DVD features interviews with the band and some live performances. I remember that I read somewhere that this was intentional, just to give the fanclubs a little bonus. I don't think that you can get hold of it still, but I thought that it was a nice little background story! :)

It's an interesting one, that. They had to pick tracks that would be suitable with an orchestra, and The Answer Lies Within, Sacrificed Sons and Octavarium all feature an orchestra on the studio versions.
Going back to what Mad said about celebrating their 20th anniversary, I think if they'd played anymore from Octavarium on that night it would have been at the expense of songs from the other albums, which would have been a shame considering the occasion, in my opinion ;D

Also, one of the guys in the orchestra has a similar expression and also is wearing huge earplugs :D :D

I agree with you on that one, though i must point out that i didn't meant that they should play more of Octavarium. Instead they, in my opinion, should have pick other songs instead of 'I walk Beside You' and 'The Answer Lies Within'. Panic Attack would've been so cool. 8)
The idea of playing songs from their early days is one i support. Though the vocal skills of Charles Dominici is somewhat poor, there are some pretty interesting songs on 'When Day And Dream Unite'. Another Hand for instance. Or 'A Fortune In Lies', which both of them they also added to the 'Live At The Marquee' album.
Still i think it's a hell of a DVD/CD. 8)
(yep, i've got both. ;D but you already guessed that. *horns* :D)

S'Okay, so have I :D
They played my favourite track off WDaDU, Afterlife, so I was happy with that.
I would've loved to have seen the likes of Scarred, Lines in the Sand, The Glass Prison etc, but I'm just being picky, it's a fantastic dvd 8)
Have you watched the documentary?

If you wanna see The Glass Prison you'll have to buy the Gigantour DVD. I found a short clip of it here:
ftp://image_km:km4image@ftp.image-entertainment.com/newsletter/Gigantour/gigantour_dream_theater-glass_prison.wmv
However, Panick Attack and The Glass Prison are the only 2 songs from DT that are on it, so I still have to decide if it's worth the money, since I don't really like the rest of the bands on that DVD...
