I bought IMAGES AND WORDS LIVE IN TOKYO recently and it is in the 5.1 format and at a higher level.

I have looked at all the web pages I know of and cannot find any info on the formatting of the new release.

If that's the case (haven't seen the "Images & Words" DVD, yet...) then, there's a pretty good chance the "Live at the Budokan" DVD will be "5.1". I've heard the Budokan is one of the "premier" venues to record live performances due to its great acoustics.

Maybe we'll be getting the "ultimate" DT live dvd we'd hope for...
