Customer Reviews of Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York
Pure progressive rock performance. Really liked this dvd a lot, specially watching my favorite Dream Theater album being played live. Sound quality is good, image quality is good, I already knew the plot of the album so it bothered me having to watch those alternating scenes from the movie instead of the band, but I recognize that it really complements the show for those who don't know what the album's about. <
>The end of Finally Free, where Mike Portnoy almost pops his heart out... I hated not having a decent camera focusing on that. <
>Anyway, completely satisfied with it.
Great band, great concert, TERRIBLE DVD
First, I have to sayI love Dream Theater, but this DVD is a wreck. Want some explanations? Here they are:
<
>- The visual effects are so cheesy and annoying that I don't wanna watch the DVD at all. Who ever the video editor is, he needs to be slapped for doing such a bad job for a big band. All the flashing images, scrolling lyrics, b&w low res background video, color whirling, screen-splitting make me feel like I'm watching some videos made by some idiotic noob on youtube. Once again, whoever the video editor is, he needs to be fired.
<
>- Where is 5.1 sound? Where is DTS? o_O Come on people, this is Dream Theater, not the Beatles in the '70, give the audience some good sound. Whoever the sound editor is, this idiot should be slapped and fired with the video editor.
<
>- Fullscreen video. What? Full screen video?? You gotta be kidding me, it's fullscreen! Grrrr...
<
>
<
>All right, that's quite enough for the bad's, now here's the good's
<
>- Hair! They all had long hair in this DVD, I love it!!
<
>- The new guy Jordan Rudess is incredible!
<
>- Great music, great skills from every member of the band.

<
>That's it. I'm out.

Classic live performance in support of classic album 2000...
I remember buying this DVD in early 2002. It seemed to take forever to be releaed and when it was there was something wrong with the audio (I think) which meant it had to be returned and wait for the remastered version to come out. I remember thinking at the time Mike Portnoy handled all this very well, very up front about what had happened, plenty of information on the web site etc. The wait was well worth it though. Over 2 and a half hours of great material plus the audio commentary, documentary and some great photos. Also we get to see the amazing Jordan Rudess on keyboards - with hair!

>For me "Live Scenes from New York" is Dream Theater's equivalent of Rush's "Exit Stage Left" (1981). It is a the band at their most confident with an album ("Scenes") which like Rush ("Moving Pictures") they were just so proud of. The confidence shown on both these bands DVD's is just so high - at the top of their game.

>The sound is in PCM Stereo (there no 5.1 or DTS option) and for me it sounds fantastic.

>James LaBrie gives a great performance on vocals (have to admit though his best live vocal performance is on "Score" (2006). John Petrucci is stunning on guitar (it's a close call between his performance here and that displayed on the stunning riffamania shown on "Live @ Budokhan" (2004). John Myung is awesome on Bass (as he always is - also check out his work on Score, stunning). Jordan Rudess really shines on this set, he really is in full flite. (His performance on "Budokhan" is also top notch and on "Score", well let's just say I'd say the Orchestra would have appreciated his keyboard work, it's is almost unearthly - the "Rick Wakeman / Keith Emerson" of current times, unbelievably good. And last but not least, Mike Portnoy who gives a fantastically energetic performance on drums. This was actually a 3 hour show (more material can be found on the on the corresponding 3 disc CD set including "Metropolis I" and "Another Day" from "Images and Words" (1992) and "The Mirror" From Awake (1994), and Mike never lets up. Along with Chester Thompson (Genesis) and Neil Peart (Rush) Mike is in my top three drummers and his display here is awesome. (Also check out "The test that stumped them all" on "Budokhan" or "Score" - awesome performance).

<
>Whilst a reduced track listing compared to the CD set, as with Rush's Exit Stage left there is heaps of material to chose from and it's all top notch. We get the whole of "Scenes from a memory" complete with Choir for the "Sprit carries on" section (this section is totally over the top, exceeded all my expectations - fantastic job) plus the whole of "A mind besides itself" ("Erotomania / Voices / Silent Man") from "Awake" (1994), "Learning to live" from Images and Words (1992) and the whole of "Change of Seasons" from 1995.

>It's really a great show, one of those that you can just feel and see the confidence oozing out of every note / beat / riff.
<
>I can't speak highly enough of this show. If you do decide to get this one I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 10 out of 10.
