Dream Theater - Live with the Octavarium Orchestra


Dream Theater played "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" and "Octavarium" all the way through. Those two songs alone ate up 1/3 of the show. The band was as amazing and tight as always, no more discussion needed on that subject. The Orchestra really added to the second half of the show, but more importantly, they didn't drown out the band the fans paid to see.The best part of the second DVD has to be the documentary showing the history of the band from the days of being at Berklee School of Music up to the present day. Definitely a good look into DT's history, and a great companion to the book that Rich Wilson is writing on www.dreamtheaterbook.com.Overall, this is an amazing DVD from one of the best progressive metal bands ever, and if you favorites Dream Theater latest release over previous works, this will be a treasure.
