Dream Theater - Live At Budokan DVD


Just got this in the mail today. Was very pleasantly surprised to find it's anamorphic widescreen. I've been previewing it in my PC at work and it looks and sounds great. This should be a no brainer for any DT fan.

Best Buy has an insanely low price on line for pre-order-9.99! Their ad lists it as 14.99, which is still good. This one should sell well.

I didn't know about this one. I also saw one the other day that has Live at the Marquee and 5 Years in a Livetime, 5.1 surround.

I just watched the DT Double Feature set you mentioned, and I thought the A/V was great on that set as well. Haven't seen Live In Tokyo in a long time-it was good to see it again. The 5 Years In A Live Time disc was a little disappointing in terms of song selection, but still enjoyable.

5.1 and widescreen!! I am all over this one.

I can't wait to here stuff off the new album live, especially In the Name of God.

thanks for the heads up.

I see Mike is talking about a different disk that has 5.1. Is the one that is released today in 5.1? It just says "stereo" at Best Buy's site. This would be very disappointing.

You would think that a band like DT would make sure that it would be released in the best sound format possible...

The new one has 5.1 and stereo. I seldom rely on Best Buy's info-they are wrong often.

I just remember seeing 5.1 on the packaging, which is why I didn't buy it, because I'll wait until I move into a new place and set up my surround sound.

Mike,

Are you talking about the double feature disc? I think that had 5.1 and stereo. I remember the 5.1 sounding much stronger, but the 2.0 was definitely adequate.

Yes, that's what I saw in the store.

I looked at the back of the packaging, and it does only say 5.1-not sure why. I wish concert DVD's had the same spec standards as films.
