Dream Theater, Images And Words – Live In Tokyo
A*Vision Entertainment (212-275-2900), 90 minutes, $19.98.
Dream Theater’s first world tour, aptly titled “Music In Progress,” has given birth to the experimental metal band’s first longform video. Live performances of music culled primarily from the band’s new Atco album, Images And Words, shed light on the energy that has won Dream Theater international attention. Highlights include ‘Under A Glass Moon,’ ‘Surrounded,’ and ‘Wait For Sleep,’ while interviews with band members and footage filmed on the road and during the making of the album and video are revealing and entertaining. ‘Pull Me Under’ and ‘Take The Time’ are showcased in both live and videoclip forms.
