LIVE IN TOKYO/5 YEARS IN A LIVETIME

Compiling two previously released Dream Theater VHS's (they were the days!), this DVD is around three and a half hours of various music videos, live footage and tour diaries. 'Images and Words?' focuses on the bands first visit to Japan way back in the early 90's, while 'Five Years?' follows the bands career from around 1994 to 1998, covering the making of the 'Awake' and 'Falling Into Infinity' albums, as well as the subsequent tours.

There's plenty of highlights on both discs, besides the abundance of live concert footage, seeing the band members loitering the streets of Japan, in the studio writing, recording, and dilly-dallying, as well as playing covers with guest appearances, there's a lot here for fans to enjoy.

An added bonus for the dedicated fans are the commentaries for both discs, where the guys are absolutely hilarious in their ability to poke fun at themselves (and each other), and not take anything too seriously. Overall, two fantastic discs in fantastic package, definitely worth owning for any Dream Theater fans.
