Dream Theater

Distant Memories – Live In London (InsideOut Music/Sony)

Dream Theater doesn't do things by halves: The lavishly produced, multimedia stage show is followed by a correspondingly elaborate follow-up in the form of this live release (recorded in February 2020 at London's Apollo Theater). On three CDs or – even more spectacular, because of the superb filming and editing – two DVDs or Blu-rays, the prog heroes celebrate both their current album Distance Over Time and the twentieth anniversary of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory.

Sebastian Kessler / 6 points (Stroke of Luck)

Dream Theater

Distant Memories – Live In London (InsideOut Music/Sony)

Dream Theater kleckern nicht, sie klotzen: Der aufwändig produzierten, multimedialen Bühnen-Show folgt eine entsprechend aufwändige Nachlese in Form dieser Live-Veröffentlichung (mitgeschnitten im Februar 2020 im Londoner Apollo Theater): Auf drei CDs oder - noch spektakulärer, weil toll gefilmt und geschnitten - zwei DVDs beziehungsweise Blu-rays zelebrieren die Prog-Heroen sowohl das aktuelle Album Distance Over Time als auch das zwanzigste Jubiläum von Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory.

Sebastian Kessler / 6 Punkte (Glücksfall)
