Dream Theater's Chaos In Motion World Tour kicked off June 3rd, 2007 in Milan Italy and ended on June 4th 2008 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Chaos In Motion 2007-2008 captures it all. Legendary drummer Mike Portnoy has assembled over 3 hours of live performances spanning the globe. Complete with a behind the scenes documentary, live screen projection films, music videos and a never before seen photo gallery, Dream Theater bring their fans the ultimate tour souvenir. This Deluxe Collector's Edition 5 disc set is limited to 5,000 pieces. It includes the standard double DVD set plus three audio CDs of the entire live performance featured in the DVD.

2008-11-29 -- 5/5:: Great sound quality; Amazing set list
I don't think that I like this live Dream Theater album better than "Live at Budokon" but the set list is awsome. These are some of my favorite D.T. songs. Of course, this being a Dream Theater album, the sound quality and musicianship are phenomenal.

I think that this would be a good place to start for a non-fan. The set list is excellent and contains a very diverse collection of music from D.T.'s entire career - including five tracks from thier latest (and best?) studio album. Also, my two favorite D.T. songs are included in this album: "The Ministry of Lost Souls", and "In The Name of God".

The only negative things that I can say about this album it that "Blind Faith" sounded a little weird, and that the album is a compilation of shows rather than one concert. There is a different vibe about a live album that takes place on one night - you feel like you were really there.

Here is what I said about Dream Theater (my favorite band) in another review:

There is somthing else that I love about Dream Theater - besides the music itself. It is the fact that if you are a D.T. fan, your band doesn't dissapoint you. Almost every rock band ends up sucking a little more with each album; You never get what you really wanted. With D.T., I can honestly say that I have watched the band get better and better with each album. They have never let me down. If they are going to release a new album, I have confidence that it won't suck and when I see them live, I know that I will be blown away.

Once I started listening to Dream Theater, years ago, I found it hard to listen to mainstream rock. It just bores me. D.T. has elevated rock music to it's highest level so far. They are almost "beyond" rock music. For me, Dream Theater's music is more like great classical music - it's beautiful, profound and complexed, not just entertaing.

Until the day I die, I will never forget the time I saw Dream Theater live at Jones Beach, in the summer of 2007. It was the best concert experiance of my life; I practically floated out the arena afterwards. They sounded incredible and played some of my all-time favorite songs.


Thank you SO much Dream Theater, for working so hard to please your fans and for writting incredible music for the past 20 years.

2008-11-03 -- 4/5:: CD's are great, DVD only recommended for die-hard fans.
I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition before knowing I could get the mp3s from the CDs at Amazon. I give it four stars just because of the CDs.

The production of the first DVD is not the best (haven't seen the second one). As another review states, is not Score. I would say image quality is not for today's big HDTVs. The audio doesn't sound live, you can't hear the crowd. Still, I have to say, it was great to somehow revive the experience of being in a show from their 2007 tour.

What I didn't like is that if feels as if this DVD was never planned, but at the last moment, they came up with any footage they had and tried to put it together.

I would say: If you're a die-hard fan, get it. If not, get the audio and buy the Score DVD.

2008-10-20 -- 5/5:: Chaos In Motion!!!
This is yet another great collection of live songs from one of the most tallented bands around. Many who have reviewed this product have complained that it isn't one complete concert, but rather several concerts strung together. That didn't bother me any, though. This showcases many songs not seen or heard in a live recording before from the Systematic Chaos album. My only real complaint is that James LaBrie's vocals have way too much treble, and at times can hurt your ears. The supplimental material is really good, and shows how Dream Theater has the freedom to tour on their schedule and still spend pleanty of time with their families. I can't wait until their next album and tour. These guys constantly bring us something new with each album, and their live performances keep getting better and better!

2008-10-18 -- 5/5:: Great one! Ignore the stupid comments
This Double DVD, Triple CD is Great... I have every Dream Theater CD/DVD ever released... So will you guys SHUT THE FU???!! You make this DVD sound like garbage!! I read your comments before watching it, and I really thought it was as bad as Cliff 'em All or something (Cliff 'em All was ok for it's time)... In chaos in motion, you can see & hear everything the F CLEAR AS CRYSTAL!!! So what the F are you little B*****s whining about?? Your reviews SCARED me! I thought my DVD was a total waste of money or something (of course I was gonna keep it for the record anyways:P)... Sure it's no Budokan or Score... But hell it's still F'IN' AWESOME! You can still see every solo and every good part zoomed & more!!! It's pretty AWESOME! Specially if you've been @ a show during that tour, even MORE SO...

I do agree with those who say it was more for the fans than more new listeners... But S**t son don't make it sound worse than it really is.. It's great!I would still recommend 1. Score, 2. Budokan to new listeners but fans should definitely get this one... This is what this one aims at; the fanbase.. Hell on one hand you complain that they're goin' "commercial" and now that they made a fan-special, you complain it'a only for die-hard fans, WTF is wrong with you people??? LMAO

A special note to the 60-year-old who said they shouldn't use F on stage: Kindly go to some Drag Queen Bar and ask them to be gentle with you.. WAKE UP GRAMPS, THIS IS METAL!!! You're not old school, you're old period! Um 5 words: Listen to Elton John F*g!! :D

Background: Have all Dream Theater CDs/DVDs ever realeased and can play 1/2 of all Dream Theater's songs on the guitar (all my favourite ones).

P.s. Sorry for being rude, but most of you guys shouldn't bother commenting... You don't even understand what it's all about.

2008-10-15 -- 5/5:: It's amazing
Got it, it's fantastic worth every penny. Got mine 39.99 at FYE.

The Ministry of Lost Souls is awesome, Take The Time is stellar, and In the Presence of Enemies is stupendous.

I watched some of the documentaries, they really show that the band has a lot of love for each other.

Overall really awesome.
