4 stars Following on very closely to the format of 2004's 'Live At Budokan', 'Score: 20th Anniversary Tour' is a fantastic DVD for fans of progressive metal icons, Dream Theater.

The first disc features an almost three-hour concert. Beautifully shot, with excellent sound and clear visuals, the band are on top form as always. The set is interesting in that, while touring in support of their 'Octavarium' album, (represented here five times), the band also go through various tracks throughout their discography in chronological order. Ending with an orchestra and treating us to 'Octavarium', 'Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence' and 'Metropolis Pt. 1', the set list is fantastic, and certainly differs to other live releases.

Amidst a number of bonus tracks and animated visuals, the true gem on the second disc is an hour-long documentary on the history of the band. While it's a lot to cram into 60-minutes, this is still an interesting and enjoyable watch, and includes plenty of live footage, interviews and photos.

Rounding up the perfect trilogy of live albums/DVD's, along with 'Metropolis 2000?', and 'Budokan?', 'Score' is an exceptional release, sure to please fans, and is an absolutely essential addition to every prog collection.
