Rest looks stunning though, 5 Disks , Scarred, Blind Faith, Shmedley Wilcox, Take the Time, documentary, bastage/stage tour,there goes my savings.
Whats next another JP Rig tour??

Thank you Mike

Wow, made it to page three before someone started bitching this time ...

Next time I won't say "Thank you Mike" for the almost perfect tour and DVD/CD set?

I really really want to see that “Behind The Chaos On The Road” Documentary...

little by little... my mind goes arround...

I'm not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that whenever a new DT release comes out there's always those who complain about what it doesn't have, no matter how much it does have.  If DT relased a new boxed set of live material that included every song in their catalogue, including Space-Dye Vest featuring Kevin Moore, someone would gripe because they didn't include a cover version of Hotel California.

Why on earth wouldn't you want the DVDs???? 

I can't speak for DTChemist, but for me, I listen to my live DT CDs a lot more than I watch my live DVDs.

 We get 3 of their greatest songs not previously available on a high-quality DVD (Scarred, LiTS, BF), plus 5 of their new songs for the first time, plus a sweet new version of Surrounded, plus a cool medley . . . not sure what you don't like? Just curious.

With regards to the setlist, the are many (including myself) that were not all that into the new material, so having 6 of 8 SC tracks does not make it a selling point for a segment of the fanbase. For me personally, the selling point is the older tracks, particularly the reworked version of Surrounded. That was the stand out track from the two shows I saw on the Chaos in Motion tour and I will be happy to have an HQ version.

 
Agreed.  I'll watch the DVDs maybe once a year if that.  The CDs I will listen to multiple times a month.  I listen to music during my work commute, and then iPod (with all my CDs loaded onto it) at work and home when I'm working.  The CDs will get much more use than the DVDs....I usually wait to find the DVDs used for cheap.

I got no distance left to run...

^^Does this all mean we can't by *just* the CDs but have to buy the CD/DVD set, similar to Rush's R30 set?

Why on earth wouldn't you want the DVDs???? 

 
Because they won't get nearly the use/bang for the buck that the CDs will from me.  See previous post from me.  But, like Rush R30, looks like I'll have to buy the Deluxe Set to get it, which is OK with me.

I got no distance left to run... 

nice, I needs DVD
is it september 23th yet?

^^I know, really!

September is going to rule...between this, the new Neal Morse album, and some others I want to pick up, it's gonna cost $$!

I got no distance left to run... 

YIPPEEE!!!!!

OMG, I just came a little

shit, it's the most awesome setlist i've seen ! and it includes Scarred and LITS...fuck yeah !!!

BTW, if tracklisting is subject to change, adding Misunderstood would be a greeeeat idea!
but if it's not possible, I don't mind, cause this DVD will rock! (I'm just saying it before someone starts bitching about me bitching).

So this isn't a complete show the way the last few live albums have been?  Just for clarification...

Nope. Not complete show. Songs are taken from 4-5 different cities/countries.

Interesting...first time this has been done on a DT live release, eh? (Although I seem to recall not every cut on OiALT was from the Paris show...correct me if I'm wrong)

I got no distance left to run... 

Nothing new there. Was done on OIALT as well...

i just orgasmed

Few bands inspire such fanaticism... The best way to satiate this dedicated legion... more material to devour... a travelogue... traversing the globe... the entirety of the tour... Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives... unprecedented access.

Holy classic case of oversell Batman!
But seriously, sounds cool, can't wait to get my hands on it! I hope it really does satiate me! (I think)

 
Holy classic over analysis.

My point was OiALT was the *only* other DT live album to do this...

I got no distance left to run... 

Im pretty speechless. vancouver being on the dvd is enough...but what an amazing setlist!!! and to whoever said they want voices on there...its on live scenes from new york and five years in a livetime. I was disappointed too but then i realized its on 2 releases so its all good.. the set for this dvd is AMAZING!!! i cannot freaking wait...i will definitely be getting the mammoth 5 disc set.

Thanks Mike!!!!!
 
Edit: i would love to find out where each track is taken from. I read where he took the tracks from but im curious as to where is each track is from specifically. And MA singing repentance? Easter Egg?

HOly crap I can't wait till September. First I find out that Nightwish will be playin in Baltimore in Sept. and now this. I'm freakin stoaked!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm thuper cereal... Manbearpig is for realz

Awesome 5 disc set! Mike & the guys have gone the extra mile this time... Hope there is some sort of band commentary on the live shows although most probably the documentary would cover that angle...

bring on the good stuff!

I'll correct you. Despite it not being the complete concert, every song on the Once in a Livetime CD is from the Paris concert. This new DVD/CD package will be the first time DT has officially released a live package drawn from multiple cities and concerts.

Live footage of my wife's band Project Applesauce - Sept. 22, 2006.

God damn, that setlist is amazing!  I am definitely picking it up.

(still hoping for a Blu-ray release)

I don't think this was filmed in HD, but I could be wrong. It would be great
if Mike could clarify this and tell us when we can expect Blu-ray versions
of Score and Live at Budokan (which WERE filmed in HD) while he's at it.

ORIGINAL: dreamlte2
4. Blind Faith
5. Surrounded (2007 version I guess?)
8. Lines In The Sand
11. The Ministry Of Lost Souls
12. Take The Time
13. In The Presence Of Enemies

Worth getting for these here alone! Haven't seen TMOLS live yet
and it'll be great to have a live version of Take The Time where
James doesn't screch as badly as on the old Live in Tokyo video.

+1

I am hoping for a true HD quality DVD from these guys. Mike always seems so up to date on new technology that it would be plausible that this could be an HD release. The fact that it spread over several shows leads me to believe it will not though.

I would love to have Blu-Ray versions of Score and LaB. Score looks so much better on the MHD re-broadcast than the actual DVD playback in my Blu-Ray player. Budokan looks great but is missing the detail of a true HD format. Either way, I can't wait. I'm just happy that ITPOE was included. The second disc with the screen playbacks will be great (TDEN)!

Ok, I thought my comment was rather tounge in cheek, as in if there was one thing I would have liked to make the DVD better(as in Mike if you would ever do such an amazing thing as do another DVD after this amazing one, perhaps could you include this), maybe not...sorry.
 

Holy freaking crap!!! To say that this news has just made my day would be an understatement!!!
 

SURROUNDED '07!!!!!!!!!!!
 

 
THANK YOU!!  I needed to have this song on DVD!

WOW, what a release! Mike The Man have outdone himself AGAIN! 5 disc deluxe deition on the way to me! Looking forward to "Scarred" and "Surrounded 07"
