Dream Theater Dream Theater/London, UK 2017

The 2017 25th anniversary of the release of “IMAGES AND WORDS” is a 2 hour 40 minute digital audience recording of the final day of the UK leg of the anniversary tour, held at Hammersmith Apollo in London on April 23rd. In 2016, the tour to completely recreate the concept album “The Astonishing” became a big topic, but this tour is mainly a complete reproduction of the album, with the first part being “normal format”, the second part being “complete reproduction of IMAGES AND WORDS”, and an encore. The first part is a selection of songs from each album, just like a regular concert, and is roughly the repertoire from “TRAIN OF THOUGHT” to “THE ASTONISHING”. Among them, “Hell’s Kitchen” from “FALLING INTO INFINITY” is a super rare number that was only played a few times on the 1997 tour. Also, check out the Metallica song “Enter Sandman” inserted into “As I Am”. The main second part, “IMAGES AND WORDS”, is played in full, starting with an intro that time-warps 25 years, and proceeds in the order of the songs on the album. The magnificent and magnificent masterpieces are reproduced with 100% live sound, and the encore of the third part also features a full reproduction of the great song “A Change Of Season”, which is a great pleasure to hear for the first time in 13 years. In any case, this is a must-listen collector’s item for old fans, as you can listen to all the songs on that masterpiece. Disc 1 : 1. Intro Music : The Colonel 2. The Dark Eternal Night 3.
