Live performance and documentary about the legendary band, following their rise to fame and fortune, and the history of their unconventional music.
The tenacious odyssey of Dream Theater culminates in one of their finest concerts ever on this magnificent Score: 20th Anniversary World Tour DVD. Just how good is this blazing prog-metal performance, recorded at New York City’s radio City Music Hall on April 1, 2006. For starters, it’s easy to believe the band’s drummer and co-founder, Mike Portnoy, when he ends the nearly three-hour show by saying “this was one of the best nights of our career.” Then consider that for one brief but shining moment in mid-September 2006, Score nudged Pink Floyd’s Pulse out of the #1 spot on the bestselling music DVD charts, proving without a doubt that DT’s loyal fan base was more than willing to elevate the band to an unprecedented level of critical and commercial success. It’s a win-win scenario for everyone, because it’s obvious, from this performance and the Octivarium CD that spawned it, that Score represents 20 years of bold perseverance, and the sheer power of combined talents against the fickle forces of a music industry that repeatedly tried, and failed, to compromise Dream Theater’s unique creative vision.
