Thanks Mike. Yeah, definately check out the Dream Theater DVD. It is worth it just to hear the previously unreleased epic "Raise The Knife", which was recorded during the Falling Into Infinity sessions, as well as obscure gems like "Another One" from their Majesty days.

Paul, Great job all the way around, and you're review of Dream Theater may have swayed my turning away from that band. I'll check that DVD out for sure. I completely agree that Porcupine Tree's 'Arriving Somewhere' is a monster. Loved that band since Stupid Dream! Nice Job! Peace!

My bad, Paul. I didn't even see the disc until early '06, dopey of me not to have checked. You earn extra bonus points for having the date right and putting it in your review for the proper year. Rock on!

Hey D'oh, Rush R30 was released in late 2005 and was #4 on my 2005 Top Ten list. Angry Citizen, I've heard a lot of great things about the Kamelot DVD, I just haven't had the chance to check it out yet. Thanks.

Awesome! I have Porcupine Tree and Score, and both are unbelievable. I think One Cold Winter's Night by the band Kamelot should be mentioned. It is just as good as Score and Arriving Somewhere.

Thanks, gents. Guess I'll have to break down one of these days and buy a surround sound system.

Duane, following up what Brian said, most better concert DVDs come with a DTS audio track and it is usually the superior sounding mix. You need a surround sound amplifier that has a DTS decoder, which most do now, in order to play that track. It stands for Digital Theater System

DTS is and was very similiar to Dolby as they are a company that engineers audio technolgy. DTS builds decoders that are the standard for any Surround Sound system but they cover more than that:Click Here

Porcupine Tree is one of my favorites, as well. Glad to hear that they can deliver live. For us ignoramuses (or maybe I'm the only one), what is DTS?

Great Review...I definitely have to check out the Styx,Porcupine Tree & Gary Moore DVDs. As for Dream Theater, I would love to watch it but I think for their 20th year anniversary they should've done a Metropolis pt.2 concert w/ the orchestra. I am still sad that I missed the Orpheum date here in Boston. Pink Floyd's Division Bell still has to be my all-time favorite CD from them so here comes more cake out of my wallet for Pulse...
