Best DT live release yet. Just because it has 10 seconds of blast beats.

Probably their best live offering since Score. Fantastic performances (LaBrie is great), and the
audio mix is miles better than Breaking the Fourth Wall and Luna Park.

The filming crew did an excellent job filming this concert and the mix is outstanding. The setlist features a nice mix of newer stuff in the first Act and then a full performance of their classic album Scenes From a Memory. James Labrie might not have the voice he once did, but he gets the job done and does much better in the second half when his voice is warmed up. Mike Mangini had big shoes to fill when he joined to replace Mike Portnoy, but them shoes fit just right. Highlights have to be Pale Blue Pot and A Nightmare to Remember - the band still sounds as tight as ever. Definitely check it out if you are a fan of the band or a fan of Progressive Rock/Metal.

Fantastic mix and performance. The over 20 years vastly improved tones from both Peteucci and
Rudess as well as the squeaky clean and immensly dynamic mix makes Scenes sound truly amazing.
Mangini's kit also finally sounds phenomenal, and might actually be my favourite Dream Theater
drum-sound till date including Portnoy. The animations for Scenes as well as Mangini's solo at the
end of Finally Free are amazing additions too. The metric modulation Mangini does for a couple of
bars is immense. Only criticisms I have are some of vocal melody changes from James, in particular
Beyond this Life's bridge.
