DT "Chaos In Motion" DVD - AVAILABLE NOW!!

Mike I dont know if this has been asked before, but are the other bands going to be on the dvd? Like their set's. Thanks man, hope to hear back.

ORIGINAL: a.c.m.

Nice setlist overall, sad to see Misunderstood and Repentance missing. Maybe for a future "Best of Prog Nation" release?

Don't know about Misunderstood, but it should be obvious that they're saving
Repentance for the live version of the entire 12 steps suite in the future.

That version won't have Åkerfeldt on vox ... but what you say makes perfect sense.

 

Geez, Honor Thy Father from the first European shows it's also missing, LaBrie really nailed it on those performances.

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but has it been confirmed as to which Boston show the DVD/CD footage has been culled from?

LLAMA?

CLICK HERE TO VIEW TRAILER

Nice artwork! OMG!

Coolest DVD artwork yet.
 
When I click the link I'm getting...."this page cannot be found" but maybe it's because I'm getting a weak signal
from my wireless card at the moment.

Nah, the trailer link just has some extra characters after the .wmv It should work if you erase the, It's the same teaser that was available before though. Not that I'm complaining. I sure would love to hear some bits of the live audio, but the artwork and the awesome trailer are more than good enough for me right now. First day buyer.

That artwork is awesome. I'm stoked about the whole thing but mostly about the Medley and ALL about Surrounded 07, one of my favourite DT moments gets its rightful release

I love the cover!!! Can't wait to buy this

"I bought a couple of droids today from the freaky little hooded creatures . The big one is sort of effeminate and annoying, and I think the little one has an amputee inside!"

awesome cover...keeping the ant theme

linky to trailer doesn't work.

Carpe Diem !

I can't wait for this... it's driving me crazy.

Any word on when/if we can pre-order it?

AWESOME ARTWORK FOR A AWESOME DVD!

"This Story Ends When It Begun"

very, very nice! cant wait

The artwork is truely epic

I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark
And I won't forget you when we part

Artwork is quite cool. What I don't like about it is the "chaos" and that "bar" at the bottom, that's getting old. On Octavarium it was on the bottom as well, then for SC it moved to the top, now it's back to the bottom. I just don't see the reason for that bar.

I just noticed now in the description that they're using audio/video from the Toronto show in the DVD.

I was there!!

Nice cover, too.

Great artwork.

that artwork is freaking awesome!!!!!

I noticed there was a blank space (%20) at the end of the file name, and I think that's messing things up. Removing the space seemed to work fine for me earlier today. Try the following link instead:

Sweet art work, thanks Wey.

A bad DT album (as if such a thing will ever exist) is 100x better than anyone elses good album.

Freakin' cool artwork.  The setlist has me drooling in anticipation.  I'm echoing everyone else by saying I can't wait.

To watch the trailer it's easier just to go to dreamtheater.net.  You can play it straight off the site and don't have to download anything.

You do know that everything you watch online gets downloaded to your hardrive, right? Streaming only works to preview the file as you download it...
 
Just to be a bitch,

Wow, that artwork is awesome!

Nice Art work and great set list! I can't wait to september! 

love it.

im still a bit bewildered by hugh syme's black-bar fetish, but this is possibly the best dream theater artwork.

Sweet artwork! But the black bar AGAIN?

everything I've ever pre-ordered from Amazon has either shipped a day before or on the release date, so I highly doubt it.

It's hard to say with certainty. Most of my Amazon.com preorders have arrived on the release date, once even a couple days before the release date, but also once or twice the day after, and once or twice a week or so later. It's pretty much a gamble, but from my experience, more often than not they arrive on or very close to the release date. The price always beats local brick-&-mortar stores' prices, so even if I have to wait a few days, I'd usually rather buy from Amazon.com.
 
[EDIT: Just for clarification, I always select free shipping from Amazon.com, so my orders take a slightly lower priority than orders with paid shipping. In addition, sometimes I include other items with my preorders, and availability of the other items could have delayed the shipping dates on some orders. If you preorder an item from Amazon.com, pay for shipping and don't order anything else with it, I'd suspect that you'd have a better bet of having it on the release date. However, as with anything else in life, nothing is certain.]

One month to go. Can't wait.

Alright, who pre-ordered this along with the Miley Cyrus CD. Fess up!

Does anyone know if the five disc collector's set will be available outside the US? The reason I ask is that I don't want to pre-order it & pay the extra shipping just for it to be available locally straight away. I have searched & looked at the Australian Roadrunner site but there seems to be no news of it. I'd love to be able to pick it up at a local store the day it's released... Also, it would count as a local sale which helps everyone...
