REVIEW: Dream Theater DVD - Images & Words Live in Tokyo / 5 Years in a LiveTime

[MasterCylinder]

This pair of DVD discs is very good.......4 stars out of 5.......recommended.

Better 5.1 Dolby than Scenes Fron New York.

Disc one reflects hits from the first few albums - both in video form and live footage.

It includes some live "club jams" with Steve Howe and a couple of the Marrillion guys.

Ya,

LaBrie is the weak part of that band.

Frikking great guitarist and drummer and bassist though huh.

All 3 are amazing -- those are the original 3 members.

Petrucci and Myung went to Berklee (Boston) together. They thought they were the only non-jazzers/classical in the whole school. One day, while having lunch, they see this guy in a Pink Floyd t-shirt............turns out to be Portnoy...........they introduce themselves and discover that he is originally from Long Island, just like they were.

The rest is history.
