Now obviously the CD version of Surrounded has been recorded at another venue than the DVD version. I wonder where... Anyone??

Dunno. I do prefer the CD version over the DVD version (primarily because of JP's extended solo). Both are great, just different.

If you had to pay 70 bucks for it i can understand the disapointment. And it's not that clear from the information of the product what kind of video/production quality it is

exactly.
its almost the same as 5YIALT. but nobody complained about 5YIALT [i think].

5YIALT was a VHS release originally. It's perfectly understandable that people would expect more from a DVD
(and yes, some shots during Blind Faith approach mobile phone camera level in terms of picture quality).

aaah. i did not know that.

Yeah the BF and Surrounded shows are a little..ehh...and it's too bad because there's some great ambience during those songs. But oh wells...I still like em.

The only songs that really look somewhat subpar are Surrounded and Blind Faith. Everything else looks good enough for me.

The best looking ones though, are Forsaken, Ministry, and Schmedley Wilcox. The latter is a pretty nice visual treat.

The idea was to stillk give us something even when they chose not to record a gig this time. It was either this or nothing.

That doesn't make any sense at all. They recorded (i.e. filmed) MORE gigs than ever for this DVD.

The idea was to stillk give us something even when they chose not to record a gig this time. It was either this or nothing. I take it a million times. If you don't, no one was forcing you to buy it. I knew what it would be like way before pre-ordering, so it wasn't like you couldn't research about it before buying. If you just grabbed it without knowing what it would look like, you only have yourself to blame, especially considering you have access to an internet connection. I always research about a product I want to buy before I do. I only buy things that I knoe I'll enjoy that way. You guys should too...

People who whine about the Quality of the Chaos in Motion DVD don't have my respect.

It's a tour DVD. Get over it

It is great for what it is. And the documentary is worth the price alone IMO.

I think Mike does a fantastic job listening to his fans. The past 3 DVDs (all of which are amazing) have all been essentially the same format. Mike chose to do something new this time and while I'll take Scenes, Budokan, or Score over Chaos In Motion any day of the week, I like how Mike changes things up to keep them interesting. Without a dynamic element of variety that drives each new release to be different, DT would has as much variety as DragonForce.

The idea was to do something different

Now they did. And it was a FAIL. Hope they'll return to the "1 show - 1 DVD" theme.

Is this CIM bashing ever going to end?

Even "Falling into Infinity" bashing isn't going to end, though 10 years have passed. Don't be naive, there will be a lot of opinions 'bout CIM. And not only positive, of course.

And I'd hardly call any of the live footage from CIM "horrible".

In comparison with "Live at Budokan" and "Score" it is.

Oh, enough of this. Why you always have to bitch for the quality???

Please Mike, the next time that you will produce a DVD, ask all your fans, one by one, how "THEY" want it to be. Don't you ever think to do something without our opinion. Or else you will be fired from the band or burned into the boilers of hell. I think that you should also consider not to produce DVD's anymore. If you follow this way, you will maintain a "calmness" style in your life and you won't be anxious anymore.

Tens of thousands of DT fans can now say that they were on a show that is featured on an oficial DT dvd. And the constant change of venues keeps it fresh throughout, it feels more dynamic. I'm not saying that I wouldn't rather have score quality, I didn't attend any of those shows anyway. I'm just saying that I understand and support what the band did with this. Anyway, the sound is great and the setlist couldn't be any better (not to mention the hilarious backstage footage) so it's well worth the price.

Please go read the previous pages and you will understand why the quality is what it is.

I know the thing about raw footage, I've read Mike's statements about it. I understand the idea, but I think it's VERY BAD idea. Why not just shoot some show in HD and make everyone happy? Are there any fans who like that horrible live footage from CIM more than Budokan and Score videos?

Because there's been 3 DVD's of one single show released in recent years. The idea was to do something different this time and document the whole tour. And I'd hardly call any of the live footage from CIM "horrible".

I bought mine yesterda. It's deluxe 5-disc packageand it costed me about 70 bucks here in Russia. Package itself is awesome, artwork, menus and all that stuff is also a blast. Then I push the Play button and... what the hell? What the hell with the cameras? It looks like most of the shows was shot with cellphone camera! Band plays and looks greater than ever, but who thought it would be cool idea to shoot for DVD with such awful cameras? Just take a look at Budokan or Score video - cameras are extremely great, picture looks fantastic. And the new video looks like a bootleg. I don't know what was the idea, but it's pretty sad to me that such a great shows were shot that way.

If not talking about video quality, DVD is a blast. James is on his best with vocals and Mike too. Freakin' love Mike's growls and James' screaming in "Constant Motion". You're turning to Opeth, guys! The new arrangement of "Surrounded" is amazing and John's solos fit a lot to it. Behind-the-scenes materials are also interesting. I laughed my balls off when JP spoke using that YouTube guy's voice. He has to release a new guitar video school - whole with this voice talking about world domination!

Anyway, I know it was experiment to show us pieces from different shows, but... I think it would be better to go back to the old method next time. One show, one DVD - like great Live Scenes, Budokan and Score. But still it's a nice add to my DT collection. Thanks for that, Mike and others!

I ordered the SE while I was in Germany through Amazon and I got it 2 days before I left Germany.

I agree with Szabi... the menus of the DVDs are gorgeous. I extremely happy o have this dvd because I was able
to have a complete view of the awesome light show that DT had this last tour (too bad that they never came to MTY).

I also noticed the volume problem on the first DVD... but I think this are just small details.

I had to laugh when JM says "I have to get interviews like this out of the way so I can
do what I have to do"... true to his interview phobia.

It was nice to hear them talk about each other and to "meet" the crew. So we finally know who
to blame for the bass sound at gigs.

Thank You Mike for the DVDs
