Dream Theater

Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York (Elektra)

Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York is a DVD/video documenting the elaborately staged production of Dream Theater’s most recent material. Highly acclaimed drummer Mike Portnoy directed this top-notch project. The DVD includes excellent concert footage intertwined with a visual representation of the story behind the Scenes From A Memory release. It also features an hour of bonus live material, including the only official live appearance of the twenty-five-minute ‘Change Of Seasons’. Hard-core fans will love the ability to access the band’s comments on much of the material.
