What Customers Say About Chaos in Motion [2 DVD]:

The video is well shot. Therefore I can just crank higher if I need to. I shouldn't have relied so much on the negative ones, as this turned out to be pretty decent. With all the interviews and (much appreciated) information as to what goes into a DT performance, this turned out to be an incredible documentary of the even more incredible SYSTEMATIC CHAOS TOUR.The members,as always, are in top form.

I watch all my concerts on a portable dvd player with a good set of headphones. I put off getting this double dvd when the reviews first came out. The footage is taken from a few different venues. The man is the most underated guitar player in all circles. When I put it on the computer, the sound was really low.

This makes the concert footage really feel like a "documentary" of the tour. (Every member of the band is underated as well). The only negative to this, in my opinion, would be the audio. There seemed to be special attention provided to the playing of John Petrucci. I put it on through the television and the same problem.

This would be the only negative thing with this dvd I can find. WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE. This video documents through the Documentary on disc2 and the live footage on disc1, just what all the hype is about this band that has been pleasing many a fan for over 20 years.All in all, if you are a fan, or just a casual observer of the band, you will not be dissapointed with this documentary of an unbelievable tour.

Almost like watching Lord Of The Rings. Even if you're not used to them, the music is spectacular on every album. The live stuff on Live At Budokan, and this run in at around 3 hours long. Also, if you're new to the band, it's hard to recommend which albums to get because they're all different and all very good.

So, why try. If you're expecting another Score or Live At Budokan, then yes, you're likely gonna be disappointed. A typical DT album averages around 77 minutes. Let me start off by saying be prepared when you intend to watch a dvd like that. At first, I thought "great music, but the vocals ruin it for me." After a while, I got more used to the vocals.

After I read the back cover of the dvd, I knew what I was getting when it mentioned "raw footage." The overall look works well though. Nothing too flashy, their stage show is already flashy as it is. If you've read other reviews, let me tell you that the video quality of the live footage is not as bad as others say it is, but don't expect Live At Budokan. We're talking long songs, well written ones at that. Good thing there's a "pause" option.

I like to try and plan when to watch one of the dvd's if I can when I'm in the mood so that it's easier to view the whole show, and maybe some extras.Anyway, on to the review. A few years ago, I had always heard of Dream Theater from a buddy who was a big fan, he constantly talked about them. I like that they didn't doctor it up or whatever. Budokan was great, but I think that the band knew it'd be difficult to top.

People have their own opinions, and if they're so disappointed just because of the video quality, well.then it's their loss. The live audio is great as it was mixed by Kevin Shirley, whose worked with DT on several albums including the Live At Budokan cd and dvd.Overall, everything is how it should be. However, if you're a metal head like me, start off with Train Of Thought (was written with the live show in mind, and features some of the heaviest music ever written by the band), Systematic Chaos (catchy as hell, and is perfect for starters), Scenes From A Memory (if you like concept albums.

I had started off on a couple of albums, Train Of Thought and Systematic Chaos, plus Live At Budokan on dvd because my buddy told me how much he always listened to it. Very melodic, but has some rockin' numbers), and maybe Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence (if you're willing to spend $25 for a double album = 2 discs. If you can keep your attention on the band for that long, it's truly a spectacle to watch as it is to listen to one of their records.

Chaos In Motion is a kind of all-access pass for the DT fan that follows the band on their 2007-2008 world tour with everything from live footage from different shows to backstage footage, interviews, behind the scenes extras, music videos, and even projection videos that they used for a few of their songs. Otherwise, buy it. Otherwise, a favorite).

I have seen pieces of the last two DVD's although I do not own them yet. I love when a band takes me through an entire day up to showtime, (reminding us all that they have a pretty amazing job but it's still a JOB, with its own level of discipline and responsibility) and the Make-a-Wish segment was killer. I believe Budokan and Score are probably superior in terms of overall presentation and content. However, I think the extras disc on this one is fantastic. Portnoy clearly was having a blast jamming with this kid and you can see the joy on this kid's face, actually playing Mike's kit alongside his idol.This wets my appetite for more, so I'm gonna do the right thing and grab Budokan now. Cheers.

Quality of this DVD is awful, worse than VHS, the audio quality is one of the worst on any of the DVD's from DT. I love DT and to see my favorite song Lines in the sand butchered I can't say how much I was looking forward to this DVD and so much disappointment I hate Jordan for ruining every song with his awful garbage licks. Bring back Derek, otherwise don't improvise. Live in Budokan was stunning quality performance 10 stars, I give this video 3 stars. Never again will I buy another album from DT, too many disappointments

As mentioned before in other reviews, the audio and video isn't up to par. They are actually quite humorous and lighthearted in a way I didn't know about, and very down to earth. It's only because of the mix for the most part and it isn't terrible on every song. BUT.you get to see the band in a new light. There were quite a few moments that had me laughing out loud. If you are a DT fan it's a must have but not for your first DT DVD.the fidelity is too low to really rock out on.
