Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 is the latest in a series of DVDs from the band and it features performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour, unlike their last three RIAA-certified Platinum DVDs, Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes From New York, Live at Budokan and Score, all of which focused on as single concert event. Drummer and DVD creative director Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives for footage in order to provide fans with the ultimate tour souvenir. He assembled over three hours of complete live performances, taking footage from shows in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Boston, Bangkok and Vancouver. The tracks were mixed and effectively brought to life by Kevin Shirley. The second disc is packed with bonus material, including promo videos, live screen projection films, a photo gallery and a 90-minute documentary that'll make you feel like you're riding in the passenger's seat of the band's tour bus, as it takes you on the road and behind the scenes with the band and crew. It's like a virtual backstage pass that grants fans further unprecedented access. The official content and tracklisting for the DVD are as follows and are subject to change: Double DVD Set Disc One: "Around The World In 180 Minutes" Live Concert Footage 1. Intro/Also Sprach Zarathustra 2. Constant Motion 3. Panic Attack 4. Blind Faith 5. Surrounded 6. The Dark Eternal Night 7. Keyboard Solo 8. Lines In The Sand 9. Scarred 10. Forsaken 11. The Ministry Of Lost Souls 12. Take The Time 13. In The Presence Of Enemies 14. Medley: I. Trial Of Tears II. Finally Free III. Learning To Live IV. In The Name Of God V. Octavarium Disc Two: "Behind The Chaos On The Road" Documentary Promo Videos: Constant Motion, Forsaken, Forsaken (In Studio), The Dark Eternal Night (In Studio) Live Screen Projection Films: The Dark Eternal Night (N.A.D.S), The Ministry Of Lost Souls, In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 2 * "Mike Portnoy Stage Tour" * "Mike Portnoy Backstage Tour" * Photo Gallery * Deluxe Collector's Edition 5-Disc Set Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 Double DVD Set PLUS: Indeed, Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 is a completist piece that will keep Dream Theater diehards satisfied until the band takes to the road again. |

Well I've got every DVD besides Scenes From NY (I just can't find it in stores anywhere  ). You can bet that I'll be getting the 5 disc edition..I actually just read this on myspace..I was going to post it, but you beat me too it  . ITPOE on video? I'm in.-------------

I agree. The thing about these DVDs is that it is not very often that one song is on 2 different ones. The setlist is always completely different. As long as they keep releasing different stuff, it's fine with me. ------------- I want to be an astronaut |

I agree 100%. The summer Jones Beach show highlight for me was ITPOE (in it's entirety) and for the spring Terminal 5 show..I'd have to say Repentance with Mikael  -------------

It will be epic to have Take the Time..especially when the band stops and the entire crowd screams it  ..amazing.-------------

Yeah, I agree..it's good marketing..plus they release a different documentary each DVD that's always fun to watch over and over and over and over and over and over again  -------------

Oddly enough, I first saw that link on another forum. I'm really looking forward to it and love the "performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour" thing they have going on for the DVD, not to mention a superb set list too. |

The new version of surrounded is really great live and I'm glad that they included Blind Faith on this tour because it is my favorite DT song. Hopefully they get some film from when I saw them in Chicago so that I can reminisce!

Are you joking? The HMV near my house has an overstock of Live Scenes DVDs.
It's all the guitar books he eats.
I must say, as much as a disspointment their records have been lately, they always deliver live. -------------

Well if you have no luck there, you can always order it online.
The production of the DVD is definitely not anywhere near Budokan or Score, but the setlist is obviously fantastic and makes it essential for a fan. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

^ I'll check that out, the setlist is amazing..probably one of the best I've ever seen by them. Thanks for the advice though -------------

ITPOE, Take the Time < That makes it worth buying alone. And as previously stated, who doesn't love watching the interesting, and generally funny documentaries over and over?
For the Scenes DVD, [around where we live] Target has it online but not in store, Best Buy has it online but not in store, and FYE has it on their webstie but im not sure if its in their store. Looks like its online for me. -------------

Anyone pre-order the 5 disc yet? There's only 3,000 pressed..it's just the 2 disc DVD and 3 discs of the audio from the live set...I haven't got the money being that it's $35 and I know I'll regret not getting it eventually.
Anyway here's the link for anyone interested:

for a band that doesnt improvise much (and can if they wanted to) they sure release a lot of live albums (cause you know there will be a CD version as well)
if they had some level of improvisation in their shows more often, i can understand. But just because it's a new tour and you have new songs, doesnt mean you have to make a live album. Because most of the songs are pretty much played the same live anyway.
"But they do a medley. you cant find that on a studio album"
who cares. they should just play Octavarium in full and not tease it. It's too good a song. Same with Learning to Live.
Sure they change set lists, but so what? So does Iron Maiden. And they release a lot of live albums that are mostly unnecesary.
in case you couldnt tell, i probably wont get this album. i wasnt even a big fan of Sytematic Chaos. They went in the wrong direction with that album IMO ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

Unfortunately I agree... More improvisation, jamming and different versions of the songs would increase significantly the interest level of the DVD/CD release  |
Posted By: Statutory-Mike
Date Posted: September 17 2008 at 14:57
|
^ If the DVD/CD sales were poor for the live stuff then they would probably stop releasing them..but some people like myself buy each DVD from every tour, plus MP tries to change the setlist every DVD, some songs will be on 2 but, who cares. Also, a new documentary.
Score went Platinum..so why not release a new DVD?

oh i understand why they keep releasing live albums. obviously if they sell well, why stop? and having changing set lists and having bonus features like the documentary are cool and all, but for art's sake, wouldnt they think to add AT LEAST a couple of jams or different versions (Budokan did this), so that we have more DT music you cant find anywhere else? i know a lot of people here agree with me.
Im not saying it'll be a bad live album, and that no one should buy it. by all means do what you want with your money. im also not saying DT should become a jam band or go jazz-fusion (though DT going in the direction of jazz fusion is not the most unlikely thing that they could do)
im just sayin, it's not worth it every other year opposite when a new DT studio album comes out. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

As long as the sets continue to be almost entirely different, I will keep buying their DVDs. Watching them play is so captivating. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

^ I second that, they're my favorite live band for sure. Machine Head is close for the energy they give off to the audience..but DT is so spot on and mesmerizing. -------------
