The tenacious odyssey of Dream Theater culminates in one of their finest concerts ever on this magnificent Score: 20th Anniversary World Tour DVD. Just how good is this blazing prog-metal performance, recorded at New York City's radio City Music Hall on April 1, 2006? For starters, it's easy to believe the band's drummer and co-founder, Mike Portnoy, when he ends the nearly three-hour show by saying "this was one of the best nights of our career." Then consider that for one brief but shining moment in mid-September 2006, Score nudged Pink Floyd's Pulse out of the #1 spot on the bestselling music DVD charts, proving without a doubt that DT's loyal fan base was more than willing to elevate the band to an unprecedented level of critical and commercial success. It's a win-win scenario for everyone, because it's obvious, from this performance and the Octivarium CD that spawned it, that Score represents 20 years of bold perseverance, and the sheer power of combined talents against the fickle forces of a music industry that repeatedly tried, and failed, to compromise Dream Theater's unique creative vision.

For longtime fans, Score offers an abundance of material that's exclusive to this release, with minimal crossover from previous Dream Theater DVDs. "The Spirit Carries On" is a natural highlight, and James LaBrie's vocals are as pristine here as they are throughout the entire concert. But there can be little doubt that this gig will be best remembered for the flawless performances of the DT epics "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence," "Octivarium," and a jaw-dropping encore rendition of "Metropolis," all spectacularly accompanied by the Octivarium Orchestra under the baton of arranger and conductor Jamshied Sharifi. These massive arrangements have been beautifully mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital or equally crisp PCM stereo, and each member of Dream Theater is given ample opportunity to demonstrate their virtuoso skills, including several transcendent solos by guitarist John Petrucci and keyboardist Jordan Rudess (the latter proving his mastery of the lap steel guitar, vintage Moog synthesizer and the curiously amazing Continuum Fingerboard). Of course, one must never underestimate the awesome bass foundation laid by John Myung, whose priceless contribution is sonically ever-present, if not always visually apparent. As directed by Portnoy, however, Score is totally focused on the music, gracefully and unobtrusively covering the concert from a variety of visually advantageous angles, and edited (by Chris Osterhus) to follow every beat, transition, and solo with breathtaking precision. All in all, Score is easily on par with Pulse, and arguably surpasses the Floyd DVD in terms of overall performance. It's a godsend for fans, and a perfect introduction for the band's ever-growing audience of new and converted fans. -- Jeff Shannon

On the DVD
"The Score So Far" is an outstanding documentary that fully chronicles Dream Theater's history from its earliest days (when Portnoy, Petrucci, and Myung met at Boston's Berklee College of Music) to the Radio City concert on April 1, 2006. Personnel changes are candidly addressed (as opposed to some bands, DT don't hide their past difficulties, and credit is always given when due), and the film serves as a tribute to the band's refusal to bow to commercial pressures. (It's no wonder Mike Portnoy feels a gratifying sense of vindication; after 20 years, he and his bandmates fully deserve it.) Also included is the amusing "Octivarium Animation" shown during the concert, and three live performances (from 1993, 2002 and 2005) that further illustrate Dream Theater's ability to refine and/or redefine its sound and image while keeping up with the times. --Jeff Shannon

カスタマーレビュー

オーケストラが素晴らしい
海外盤でも、日本語の字幕がついているんで、
フリフリのプレーヤーを持ってる方は、こちらの方がおすすめです。
素晴らしいっす！

オケ入りの感動ライブ
ドリーム・シアターのライブDVD。2006作
バンド結成20周年を記念してのワールドツアーのラスト、ニューヨークでの公演を収録。
第一部はバンドの過去を振り返るように、初期の楽曲をアルバムごとに披露。
なんとDTとしてのデビュー前のMAJESTY時代の曲も聴かせてくれる。
やはり、個人的にも2nd以前の曲における、テクニカルな熱い演奏はたまらない。
ラブリエの歌唱は、歳をとったと感じさせる外見に反してじつに素晴らしいし、ペトルーシのギターにしろ、ジョン・ミュングのベースにしろ、難易度の高い過去の楽曲を易々とこなしている。
ルーデスのテクニカルなキーボードワークにはややマンネリ感があるのだが（フィンガーボードやムーグの使用は面白いが）相変わらず楽しげに叩きまくるポートノイの正確無比のドラミングは、やはり映像的に立派な見どころになっている。
第一部は“The Spirit Carries On”で感動的に幕を閉じ、第二部ではいよいよオーケストラとの競演ステージ。
目玉はやはり組曲“Six Digrees〜”の完全再現で、緻密に展開してゆく楽曲と完璧なバンド演奏、そして生のオーケストラの厚みが加わって、おごそかにして壮大…おそらくこれを生で見たら泣くに違いない。
各メンバーのテク見せつけまくりの大曲“Octavarium”から、そしてラストは“Metropolis”で締めくくる。(メトロポリスの間奏部にまでしっかり変拍子でオケが入っていて感動した)
全160分超の濃密なステージ。
disc2には、メンバー自身がバンドの20年を振り返る興味深いドキュメンタリーや、Octavariumの間奏部用に作られたアニメーションなどを収録。
とりあえずDTファンは全員必買！

尚、輸入盤はリージョン１なので注意
