New York, NY: Few bands inspire such fanaticism among their fans as Dream Theater.
The best way to satiate this dedicated legion is to provide them with
even more material to devour and Dream Theater are doing just that this
September. The band will release Chaos In Motion 2007/2008,
which documents their "Chaos In Motion" world tour, which kicked off
June 3, 2007 at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Milan, Italy and
concluded almost a year to the day later on June 4, 2008 in San Juan,
Puerto Rico. It's essentially a travelogue of their most recent touring
experience and it hits shelves on September 23. Chaos In Motion 2007/2008
will be available in two configurations: as a double DVD set and as
five disc collector's set which includes two DVDs and three CDs,
containing 14 live tracks featured in the DVD set and expanded artwork.
The Chaos in Motion Tour was a trek that found the band traversing the
globe, playing 115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on five
continents to hundreds of thousands of fans. It also included the first
annual Progressive Nation Tour, an idea that the band had kicked around
for a few years and finally launched into action this past spring.
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.
