Dream Theater Dream Theater/Tokyo,Japan 9.11.2017

The third performance of the five performances from the 2017 Japan Tour, the September 11th Nippon Budokan performance, which is worthy of being called the highlight, is recorded in full from a high-quality audience master for 2 hours and 42 minutes. First of all, this visit to Japan is part of the 25th anniversary world tour of the release of “IMAGES AND WORDS”. In 2016, the tour to completely reproduce the concept album “The Astonishing” became a big topic, and this tour is mainly about the complete reproduction of the album, which has already been highly praised by fans around the world. The three-part live performance was divided into the first part “normal format”, the second part “IMAGES AND WORDS complete reproduction”, and the encore. The first part was selected from each album, as in the normal concert, but “The Gift of Music” and “Our New World” from “THE ASTONISHING”, which were not available in Japan, were also performed, and “Hell’s Kitchen” from “FALLING INTO INFINITY” was revived for the first time in 14 years. In addition, “The Bigger Picture” was also performed for the first time in 2017, and “As I Am”, which introduced Jaco Paz’s “Portrait Of Tracy”, also introduced METALLICA’s “Enter Sandman”, and there were many innovative arrangements. The main second part, a complete reproduction of “IMAGES AND WORDS”, was led by an intro that time-warped 25 years, and proceeded in the order of the songs on the album. The magnificent and magnificent masterpieces are reproduced with 100% real sound, and the expanded version goes beyond a simple reproduction, and the third part also reproduces “A Change Of Season”, making it a truly complete version. In any case, you can listen to all the songs on that masterpiece, and it is said to be the best act at the Japan tour, so it is a must-listen memorial item for fans. Disc 1 : 1. Intro. 2.
