4.0 out of 5 stars Great show but, Feb 22 2009

This review is from: Dream Theater: Chaos in Motion 2007/2008 (DVD)

what's with interviews between songs? I want to crank the show, but I don't want interviews ruining the momentum. Besides, I'd like to watch the concert again and again over the years, but I don't need to see the interview more than once. Why do so many bands do this lately?

This review is from: Dream Theater: Chaos in Motion 2007/2008 (DVD)

Wow, I'm not sure if this DVD was recorded on a cell phone or a handy cam, but the video quality is horrible. Quite a let down after the Live at Budokon DVD, which was very cinematic and amazing quality. I wish this was mentioned on the Amazon page.

Only order this if you are a real die hard DT fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars You get a little bad with the good in this 2 disc set, Sep 25 2008

By Monkdude - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dream Theater: Chaos in Motion 2007/2008 (DVD)

I bought Dream Theater's Chaos in Motion off another website and for some reason they shipped it early and I got it today. Here is what I think about it.

I have every Dream Theater DVD to date, but this one lacks the quality of Live at Budokan or Score. I didn't know that this was going to be raw footage until I read the back of the case. The video quality looks decent, but if your expecting the look or nice camera angles of the past concert DVDs, you might be disappointed.

There are plenty of extra features on disk two that run well over two hours. There is a 90 minute documentary about the band's 35 country tour, some music videos and Mike Portnoy takes us on and behind stage in two short, but enjoyable segments. I really loved the documentary. You get to know the band, the crew and what life on the road is like.

The main thing Dream Theater does well with these DVDs (and they put one out about every two years) is the fact that they all feature different songs. The songs on here won't be found on the previous releases, which is nice for the fans.

The concert footage is good, could be better, but with a whole disc of extras, this is a must for anyone who likes Dream Theater.

3.0 out of 5 stars It Is What It Is !, Oct 17 2008

By Michael J. Canarozzi "Bytor1" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dream Theater: Chaos in Motion 2007/2008 (DVD)

I almost think that Portnoy wanted it this way, Because if you watch Score that is one of the best DVDs/Cds i have ever heard. Some people think i am nuts, but that DVD/CD is great. Chaos In Motion - Well They obviously couldn't record wih HD Camers , because of the expense and as far as the songs & performances - I think they are average at best Except Surrounded which i think is outstanding work especially Petrucci, and i think he shines on this DVD/CD..........But like i said it is average at Best. I was looking so forward to this and now that i have seen & listened to it ..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Not so Good!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Oct 6 2008

By David J. Wimer "djw31" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Dream Theater: Chaos in Motion 2007/2008 (DVD)

I am a died hard Dream Theater fan and I love the band and their music, but I must say that this DVD is a huge disappointment. The format is similar to the old "Five Years in a Livetime" video in that it intersperses various concert footage with interviews, backstage footage, etc. I have two serious problems with this. First, I find it highly annoying and distracting when I'm getting into the music and then it cuts away to something else. Music DVDs are best when they show a full concert from start to finish (without cheesy visual effects). Second, the sound and picture quality of the concert footage reminds me of a bad bootleg. I have literally seen bootleg concert videos from the 1970s that have much better sound and picture quality than this 2008 DVD. The bottom line: Dream Theater completists (like myself) don't need to be reading this review, but if you're a casual fan and you're on the fence then I would highly recommend starting with their older, better DVDs such as Score, Live at Budokan, Live Scenes from New York, Images & Words Live in Tokyo, or the official bootleg When Dream & Day Reunite from ytsejamrecords.com. Chaos in Motion is by far the weakest Dream Theater DVD to date, which is a shame because the music itself is great (especially "Surrounded", "Lines in the Sand", and "Scarred").
