Hey I need some help overhere with the DVD. I am about to preorder the dvd from Amazon and I its gonna be shipped to my aunt´s palce in miami.. after that hopefully she will send it to me as soon as possible.
 
The problem I am having is that my DVD player is Region 1 and I have some region 1 dvds that play ok on it but on the tv they look just like when you moved the tracking buttons on the old VCRs. Now with a region "ALL" DVDs such as Steve Vai´s Live at the astoria dvd I don´t have any problem, I get a perfect Image and a perfect 5.1 surround sound.
 
So I haven´t solved this issue yet. Does anybody know why is this? What region is Score? (and I mean the one sold on Amazon... cause it doesn´t say anything.
 
 

Hopefully my sister gives up the TV so I can watch.  Sorry Claire, DT>The OC

Score from Amazon.com is NTSC region free.
Your problem's not regions, it's NTSC vs PAL. Don't know what system South America uses. Look on the back of the Vai DVD. If it says NTSC then the Score DVD will play fine. The problem is probably your TV which can only view a NTSC or PAL signal, not both.
If you had a region incompatibility the DVD player will not recognize the DVD at all.

Why not send it directly to your place? Amazon delivers to Venezuela (CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes and books only) directly.

hmmm....

the first ten minutes have been pretty rockin' so far.

Petrucci's wolfman hair is totally the most hardcore thing ever.

Its awesome!  I'm trying to find myself in the isle!  I think the guitar isn't loud enough tho! But its still rocks totally hard core and brings back some lovely memories!

I...   WANT...   THIS...   NNOOOWWW!!!!!!

Whats that Mirror Mike has on his overhead Mic stand??  I know he plays fast... but I didn't know he played so fast he needs to see whats behind him.

I'm thinking it's to see the conductor of the orchestra for the second set.  I'm not sure, though.  Just a guess.

Good guess!  That could very well be.... 
 

Here's what they showed in case any of you missed it.
 
The Root Of All Evil
I Walk Beside You
Under A Glass Moon
Innocence Faded
The Spirit Carries On
The Answer Lies Within
Sacrificed Sons, which is playing right now & I'm assuming it's the last song they'll be showing.
 
& might I also add that MP's tux shirt = TOTAL OWNAGE!!!!

That was AWESOME!! 
 
Still wondering if they played it in 5.1 surround sound or something cause the guitar didn't seem loud enough to me.... seem that way to anyone else?

Wow... just... speechless after watching this

It was awesome!!!! What a way to get you even more pumped and excited for tuesday!!

Incredibly awesome! I can't wait now...wish I could have been at the show too...Dah!

Ditto. I'm pretty sure they broadcasted in 5.1. It was way too obviously keyboard/vocal heavy.

The end of Innocence Faded was awesome, especially Mike's little stick toss/bounce on the final note.  I love when he does that, I used to do it in jazz band when our director wasn't looking and the band kids loved it.

Great song selection for the alloted time.  MP did a great job of picking songs that were well reflective of the band's diversity.  Hopefully this little bit of exposure will bring in some new fans.

I kept picturing households across America flipping through the channels and landing on Under a Glass Moon or Sacrificed Sons.  People must have had no idea what they were looking at!

That has to be it because the guitar was too low in the mix!

Dream Theater Live in Puerto Rico
Feb. 24, 2006!!!
YEAH BABY!!!

It definitely sounded like 5.1 surround to me. I'm lucky enough to have that setup on my system. I thought the sound was excellent.
 
I'm so happy for James. I thought he really stuggled on the Budokan DVD (Jetlag), and as bad as he was on Budokan he was that much better on what I heard tonight on VH1.
 
Tuesday can't get here quick enough!
 
Way to go guys!

Have all the cheese you want. Heaven Sent is a fuckin awesome tune, and Lynch rocked/rocks!! What 80's metal video didnt have cheese??
 
All of the concert was amazing, but Sacrificed Sons......

Actually it wasn't in 5.1, at least on my cable system.  I have never seen any programming on VH1 Classic come in 5.1.  I  didn't have a problem with the mix at all.

Good... Can't wait to see/hear it with the right mix.  James definitly sounded the best I've heard Live that night!  Man, I feel so privelaged being there!!  I hope I can see myself in the DVD too.. haha

FOrgot to give props to...James!!!!
He sounded sweet!!!

YEAH BABY!!!

My thoughts:

The sound was probably not formatted for my TV. I got very little guitar and some other things sounded off. Not a huge deal for TV.

James sounded KILLER. Pretty much nailed everything.

Couldn't really hear the orchestra that much, but porbably for the same reason that I couldn't hear the guitar.

Camera work was good. Kept the energy going, although it prevented me from spotting myself in the audience.

All in all, very cool to see such a strong sowing form DT actually AIRED ON TV!!

I don't know about you guys ... but I'm in love man. 3/4th bottle of vodka and the beloved DT show on VH1 made my freakin month. God bless those guys for doing what they do ...
 
P.S: JP looks super built .. !!

"The beauty of this band is that every individual is a 'God' at what he does."

THAT WAS GREAT!!!!!

What a treat.
 
Enjoyed watching it very much. To me, MP and JP looked so different.

I have an entirely new outlook on SS! That song KILLED. Everyone was on. James was great, you could see MP buzzing big time in the beginning, and JR did some very tasteful tweaking here and there. So many DVD's to buy in the next two weeks!

and to think I thought I was in control of the crowd that night....

Man, I thought the sound was great! I don't have 5.1. I mean, I could if I had 4 more speakers. Still, I thought it sounded great. I think it sounds better than LAB. We'll see how Score really sounds on Tuesday.

TAYLOR I SAW YOU!!!!

Good luck MP. 

Was I not pimping it?!  AND having the KEY hand gesture during Spirit Carries On? 
 
PS.  I saw your main man Duke too....\m/\m/

What a nice treat to be able to see Score on TV before the DVD / CD is released next week.
 
The interviews were cool...gotta love Eddie Trunk.
 
Now about that cough I am going to develop Monday night to take Tuesday off...

Taylor and Karen crack me up!! (too bad I missed you guys!)
 
Taylor, you pimp you, will you be my Myspace friend?!?
