The 3-CD and 2-DVD sets will be available seperately.
Both versions will contain the entire "20th Anniversary World Tour" grand finale recorded live at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 1st 2006.
(nearly 3 hours of music - over 90 minutes of which was performed with a full orchestra)

The DVD will also contain a 1 hour Documentary "The Score So Far..." tracking the entire career of the band from the very beginnings at the Berklee College Of Music in 1985 all the way to the Radio City Music Hall grand finale.
Including rare never before seen footage and interviews with current and previous members of the band.

Also included on the DVD are several live Bonus Tracks taken from the Portnoy Archives:
* Another Day - Tokyo 1993
* The Great Debate - Bucharest 2002
* Honor Thy Father - Chicago 2005

Excellent! I can't fuckin' wait.
That sample gives me a chill down my spine just remembering how awesome the second set was.
I'm lookin foward to analyzing the DVD frame by frame, looking for myself!

Thanks Mike!

Sweet!!!!

This will be the longest 3 months ever.

Thank you Mike for the heads-up. I can't wait.

How was the title "Score" decided?

"...being mad's infectious I believe."

oh yeah!!!  cant wait to hear this new DT material

Quick question: Who arranged the orchestral scores?

Omg <3 Portnoy, thanks for the fast turnabout man Its a shame I didnt get to go, but at least I can get this.

Great News!..one will be able to say Dream Theater SCORED with SCORE
 
? Now being released on RHINO RECORDS?
 
Does this mean anything as far as what the band is doing for a Record Label?..I guess once we hear/see it from You Mike, or another member of of the band, we'll know for sure.

Incredible. Just incredible. Needless to say I will be preordering about 20 copies on this.

Like 90% of the ideas and decisions:
I thought of it, the others liked it...so let it be done!
 
 
 
(BTW - that's not a knock on the other guys or a toot of my own horn...just the reality of the process...)

 
So take that!

Mr. Portnoy, you just made my day.

Can't wait to see the DVD!

Rhino is releasing this as a one-off project (as they did with Live At Budokan)
We are still evaluating our options for the next studio album...

What a fantastic way to end the summer.  Thanks Mike, I know you and the guys work damn hard.  

I have an urge to go wake up my husband just so he can hear this - I have goosebumps remembering that night!!
Score is an awesome name, Mike!
Now let the longest 3 months EVER begin!

too much news on just 1 thread!

trailer sounds awesome!

it was damn fast

Carpe Diem !

SCORE!!! Someone's been watching the World Cup.

Beware of the toes you step on today, 'cause they could be attached to the ass you'll have to kiss tomorrow.

I can't believe it's already done. Good job Mr. Rortnoy!

It'll probably be the first summer of my life that I want to see it end as fast as possible.

 
/happy dance

Baldrick, what begins with "Come here" and ends with "Ow"?

I think I just hosed my shorts...
 
Hearing that 1:00 clip just brought the memories of that magical evening back as if it were yesterday... it was a night that I'll never forget. The intensity and the electricity in the air was palpable...
 
I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Hey Mike when you get all done with the new record contract stuff.  I'd be real interested on how the process was done to get to the new contract whatever that might be.  Think you could fill us in on how the process went?

Just a thought.  I'm not asking about all the particulars but how it all evolved.

This is not reality

awesome job, mike...

NNOOO AUG. 29TH IS TOO FAR AWAY!!!!
 
looks like im gonna have to be a man and suck it up...  dammit....
 
anywho, i am eagerly waiting for this!!!    thx mike & co.!!!

Simple yet powerful.  Kudos on the cover, too !  Looks elegant and classy !

As everyone else said:
Thanks.
Sweet.

I would like to add one more thing........
USE SOME OF YOUR "VACATION" TIME APPROPRIATELY AND
TAKE A FUCKING VACATION!!!
(yeah right, we all know that you won't, but you should)

BLICKEM BLICKEM BLICKEM BLICKEM

Wait a minute...just re-read the first post...no commentary??   
Mike, please tell us it's in the works! 
 

Sounds incredible!

Any chance that some of the bonus tracks were shot at the LA show of this tour?

Oh, and I almost forgot. Thanks man! This is bound to be amazing, I mean the audio sounds crystal clear in that teaser, and since it was shot in Hi-Def...I can't imagine how watching the final product is going to feel like.

Hadn't thought about that but... yeah, man! It would rule to have a commentary on this one. I really hope there will be one and Mikey just forgot about it. Which is a slim chance.

Well, like Ted Nugent said on SuperGroup. "I'm not tooting my own horn, but let's be honest, you can't un-toot a horn that's already tootin' on it's own."
 
That would only make sense in Nugent's head.
 
An incredibly quick turn around and the mp3 teaser sounds AMAZING!!!!! You're just simply the best that there is, Mike.
 
This is going to RRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!

So take that!

Is it too late to add a commentary, Mike?!

Thanks Mike man, i look forward to checking it out !

Commentary would be AWESOME, and if it's too late, maybe one could be created later as a podcast, as was done for a few episodes of Scrubs.

Either way, this thing is being released on my birthday. Bonus!

Commentary?pff...as much as i love commentary to death...LOOK AT WHAT WE GET!!!wow!!i honestly cannot believe how excited i am right now!!I was VERY upset about the situation with the ytsejam stuff(which i hope will be resolved) but holy freakin cow!!!!!!THIS IS BLOODY AMAZING!!!I CANT say thanks enough!!the special features are too amazing to fathom!!!!more than i EVER could've asked for..Im gonna pre order it ASAP at like 3 stores just to make sure

For reasons too detailed to go into here...unfortunately, there is no commentary.

I REALLY tried...but for a variety of reasons, it just couldn't happen... 
 
But TRUST ME, this DVD is THE SH*T and the ultimate 20-year celebration/retrospective....
and there is PLENTY to snack on even without a commentary....

 

Hmm...this reminds me of a song....
"cut myself open wide....."

(juz kiddin!....couldn't resist)

I guess bribing JM didn't work, huh?

Wow, nothing like coming home from the Bahamas and seeing this on the forum! I was at that show and it is one that I will always remember. It was the only concert where I can say I was pretty much moved to tears while the orchestra was on stage. I can't wait for this! Thanks for all the hard work and by the way, I like the title.

Thanks Mike. I can't wait to relive probably the best night of my life

\m/

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!  I think I just came....

SCORE! Now that's a title I wasn't expecting... (even though it fits like a glove )

Just like every DT CD/DVD, I won't wait for the brazilian version, it takes too long to be released. Imports are the shinitz!

One clever detail about the cover art:

The rhythm section (MP & JM) is grouped seperately seperately from the "lead" instruments.

I've walked with the weakest just to feel strong.

"cut myself open wide....."

 
Sorry, something about the juxtaposition of that phrase with THAT image... YOW!

Baldrick, what begins with "Come here" and ends with "Ow"?

This is good news.

I could wait until the release, but it'll be more fun to ask and hope for a response. Did the complete lack of JP for about 20% of Take the Time get stitched up in the studio, or will all the guitarists be getting a practice track?
