CHAOS IN MOTION 2007/2008
LIVE DVD SETS TO BE RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER

DOCUMENTING 2007-2008 WORLD
TOUR

115 SHOWS, 105 CITIES, 35 COUNTRIES AND
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS

New York, NY: Few bands inspire such fanaticism among their fans as Dream Theater. The best way to satiate this dedicated legion is to provide them with even more material to devour and Dream Theater are doing just that this September. The band will release Chaos In Motion 2007/2008, which documents their "Chaos In Motion" world tour, which kicked off June 3, 2007 at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Milan, Italy and concluded almost a year to the day later on June 4, 2008 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's essentially a travelogue of their most recent touring experience and it hits shelves on September 23. Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 will be available in two configurations: as a double DVD set and as five disc collector's set which includes two DVDs and three CDs, containing 14 live tracks featured in the DVD set and expanded artwork.

The Chaos in Motion Tour was a trek that found the band traversing the globe, playing 115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on five continents to hundreds of thousands of fans. It also included the first annual Progressive Nation Tour, an idea that the band had kicked around for a few years and finally launched into action this past spring.

Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 is the latest in a series of DVDs from the band and it features performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour, unlike their last three RIAA-certified Platinum DVDs, Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes From New York, Live at Budokan and Score, all of which focused on as single concert event.

Drummer and DVD creative director Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives for footage in order to provide fans with the ultimate tour souvenir. He assembled over three hours of complete live performances, taking footage from shows in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Boston, Bangkok and Vancouver. The tracks were mixed and effectively brought to life by Kevin Shirley. The second disc is packed with bonus material, including promo videos, live screen projection films, a photo gallery and a 90-minute documentary that'll make you feel like you're riding in the passenger's seat of the band's tour bus, as it takes you on the road and behind the scenes with the band and crew. It's like a virtual backstage pass that grants fans further unprecedented access.

The official content and tracklisting for the DVD are as follows and are subject to change:

Damn I'm glad to be a fan of this band. I'm constantly amazed at how much they (MP?) do for us all.
Thanks for what looks to be an amazing package!

 

This looks great.  I really look forward to checking it out.

Wow! Mike, this is just too much! You've outdone yourself AGAIN!
 
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
 
Pretty much every song I was hoping for is on there - you never fail to deliver, kind sir!

Awesome. 

What is the source for this by the way?

In the Presence of the Enemies, Scarred, and the NADS animation 

Im a very happy and excited camper!!

sounds nice

What are these TMOLS and ITPOE animations? The TDEN one is the cartoon obviously, but I didn't know they had anything for the other two?

Simply awesome. Nobody takes care of obsessed fans like Mike and the guys. This is just perfectly catered to every fan's interests. Kudos.

Surprised to see a deluxe set with the CD. I seem to recall MP saying that this was only going to be a DVD-only release. Not that I am complaining (I like having both CD and DVD versions of the live shows), but I wonder why he changed his mind...

I wouldn't waste too much brain power on that one...
It's the norm to release audio versions in addition. t'was kinda obvious...

Blob, as I've replied to you in another forum ;)
Those are two "animations" (more cinematic I'd say) are done by the dude the does the VJ works for Steven Wilson.
Once upon a time he posted teasers of those on his MySpace video page.

I'm pretty sure about that.

ok, I just didn't remember there being any distinctive video that they'd put alone on a DVD, unlike the TDEN animation that everyone knows

hehe, do you think mp has anything to say at roadrunners? be happy that they release the special edition aat the regualr date, not as usual that they throw the special edition monaths later on the market so they can rip of the fan two times ;)

FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait, it sounds AWESOME!!!!!

^^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?

YEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasexpecting this!!! I was there when they come to venezuela In that tour!! I can't wait to the DVD be abaliable in Venezuela!

You do realize that this will not be the first time Scarred has appeared on an official live release. The song also can be found on Once in a Livetime (and could be on the Five Years in a Livetime, I don't know because I have not watched it in forever), that official bootleg DVD from the SDOIT tour and the California 1995 official bootleg CD.

There are no lesbians in the world, only women who haven't heard the Hollow Years LAB solo.

Not impressed with the setlist, but disc 2 looks tempting.

very nice

While it sounds great, what's the souirce for this news? I won't believe a thing until I hear official word from MP.

It's not the full version on Once in a Live time. It's not on the Five Years in a live time. The bootlegs have poor quality.
 
Also happy to see Blind Faith in the setlist. Only missing The Mirror.

.

commentaries?

Blind Faith & Lines In The Sand.... NICE! :D

Once again MP feeds our collective Frankenstein.
 
 
That's a really nice combo from a killer tour.

God this is so awesome. Couldn't have asked for a better set list. And I'm so glad Mike decided to release a version with CD's. September is way too far away.

I make the devil laugh and angels wail.  Forever I will reside beyond the pale.

It's a great NEWS!!!
 
I'm waiting September to buy on the firts day this magnific DVD!!!
 
Mike Portnoy doing awalys a great job for us, fans!!!
 
Unfortunally Brazil won't be in this DVD
 
Two DVDs and three CDs with cover arts, documentary and backstage!!
One more time we, fans, will can see the Prog's Gods before and during the shows!!!!
 
Congratulations Mike Portnoy and Dream Theater!!!
 
Obs.: In my Youtube's channel have a video when i've meet Mike Portnoy here in Rio de Janeiro.

OMG!
 
I'm very happy.

Thanks for posting this dreamlte2 even though it wasn't supposed to be published until 11EST.

 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.

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)

Still, and forever, a Mike Portnoy fan first and foremost. Rock on Adrenaline Mob!

I'll be okay, but after the ER bill and the prescriptions (as well as the follow up I have to do next week) I'm seriously in the red, and since I'm self employed, I don't have health insurance.

it was "Once in a livetime".....and that verson is minus the outro...and the vocals are kinda rough....I'm sure this version will be far superior!

Well, everything I think is already said, but still...

Incredible.

Oh my god. I want 5 cds edition!!!!!!!I can't wait!

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.

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.
 
 

OMG, I just came a little

:P

Bring this bad boy on. Release date coincides with the release date of FII by the way.

Smashing Baby!!!
Not only honored on by part of the Puerto Rican crowd on the final day, now I can have it on DVD although I don't think there will be any footage from PR, but anyway is awesome a new DVD!!!
