I can't decide.

Not to kill the vibe but he already made a decision.

Has he decided? He's had a while to think it over.

Well, yes I have. Because of the commentaries and according to the votes I have come to the conclusion that I'll get Score first. Thanks everyone!

Score's better

I have a strong dislike for the Score setlist...so by default I'd say Budokan.

While Budakon does a have better setlist, Score has Raise The Knife.

What prevents Score from being better than Budokan is the

Stupid phone...anyways...its the way the orchestra performed Vacant. Totally butchered it. To me Budokan also feels longer and more worth it, while Score feels rushed.

It is, by about 12 minutes! In DT-terms, that's a whole other song!

i JUST had a discussion about this with my friend!! I got Budakon for Xmas and watched it the other night.  While SCORE is AMAZING because of the orchestra, Budakon has more/better solos from Petrucci, Portnoy and Rudess.  I think LaBrie's vocals are a more well-developed in SCORE but they do a couple better songs in Budakon.  I also think that the audience participation is better in SCORE, they get more into the songs/music/energy.  So it is really tough to decide!! I'd say buy one, and put the other on your bday/xmas/valentine's day/groundhog's day gift list

Budakon is my favorite live DT DVD, the visuals are just impressive and the stage production used in that (lightning, video, etc.) feels superior (to me) than Score. Score is a milestone in DT history, though. You can't go wrong with either of 'em.
