Live At Budokan Blu-Ray -- NO CONFIRMATION FROM ANY OFFICIAL SOURCE

[Jarlaxle]

Awesome!

Probably only a matter of time until Score too!

Not sure why people are glossing over Bob's quote, but I will repost it again:

I don't know where that came from. I have been working with the label for the better part of 2 years trying to get this and Score released on Bluray. For informational purposes, Budokan was shot 1080I and converted to 1080p to give it more of a film look. Score was shot 1080p. All the processing for both shows was done in hidef, including menus. All that needs to happen is for the label to pull the trigger (it hasn't happened yet, as I spoke with them just last week). The only thing that needs to be done is to author both shows. I'm a little foogy in this fact, but I also seem to think that there is 5.1 audio for these also.

In other words, this has not been approved yet, so either (1) the label is still deciding and has been in communication with distributors like play.com, but nothing is decided yet, or (2) play.com simply made a mistake.  Either way, I wouldn't get excited about this just yet.

The preorder's on amazon UK too.

If that's true I'm gonna need a box of double ply tissues, the 500 pack.

[Setlist Scotty]

Great news, JLB said he thought this might happen in a recent interview, didn't expect it to happen so soon though. 

Ha! Who wants to bet some schmuck with some power (perhaps at a label or the website where it's up for preorder) saw JL's quote, misinterpreted it and got the site to set up the preorder, ASSuming it was happening.

BobS23 knows what he's talking about. If he says it hasn't happened yet, you can take that to the bank.

[bosk1]

Apparently, silly people don't care what Bob has to say on the subject and would rather trust a website than the one guy who knows.  That's the Internet for ya'.

I'm only ordering this if they CGI Mike Mangini's face over Portnoy.

But it has to be surprised Mangini face the whole time, or else it's pointless.

Precisely. It'd make the concert that much more epic. Same goes for Score as well.

So Amazon UK have added some info to their page on this, including a mock-up picture, a short description (acknowledging the HD footage) and the fact that it will have all the features of the original DVD on 1 Blu-Ray disc.

[Dr. DTVT]

I'm happy for all you blu-ray owners out there.

Would you like one of mine?

Hm, I guess this confirms it?

[Dr. DTVT]

Amazon puts lots of things on pre-order before they exist.  Seeing something on pre-order there is kind of like a reminder system...you sign-up for it and hope it gets released.

[TheGreatPretender]

About time! I can't believe how many bands got Blu-Ray treatment before DT, and some of them aren't even that interesting to watch.
Can't wait!
Any chance of Score getting the same?

This.  Amazon makes so many mistakes it is unreal.  They are the Blabbermouth of online retail.

[Shadow2222]

I seriously hope that Amazon is right for once, as I've wanted this for quite a while.

Don't hold your breath on this.

I'm not holding my breath, but I'll be the first to say that I haven't seen a Dream Theater DVD in years because I haven't had a SD set in years. Once you've seen a concert filmed in HD, watching the DVD is like listening to music transcoded 10 times over.

I'm not convinced that this is confirmed as I'd expect to see all members bragging about it on FB/Twitter and the likes as they do these days. But I can't wait to see a Dream Theater release come to bluray.

[gabeh1018]

it's kind of interesting, this damn DVD already looked so damn good and pristine I didn't thhink it could get any better visually


apparently I am wrong!

Apparently some confirmation for those who doubted.

What are the tracks after the 18th track? I don't remember such bonuses on the DVD... :/

[Orbert]

That link is now a 404.  Not really encouraging.

Here's a screenshot, so there's that...

Listen to bobs23 in all things video-related.

[Cool Chris]

@ bobs23; I'm not calling you out, I know your reputation here is solid. But can you share with us in what capacity you've worked on DT projects and/or other video/audio projects? If you want to protect your identity, we'll respect that. Just as TempusVox   Just seems cool that someone in the 'industry' posts here.

Watch the credits in Score, LTE Live in LA, L@B (I believe - could be wrong), the Bucharest DVD (official bootleg) and you'll find out.     (He does video editing, color correcting, mixing and probably a bunch of other things I can't think of at the moment)

[Cool Chris]

Thanks Scotty. I'll check those videos tonight for credits listed for 'bobs23'

BW is generally reliable. Also, the Eagle Rock page works fine, go to the site and search for it. Not sure why people are saying this is fake.

Yeah the eagle rock link is broken but you can still get there from the site, just search dream theater and its the only one listed.

Oh and I believe the rest of the songs after In the Name of God might have been from the one of the other Japan shows that was mentioned in the special features but didn't make it on the DVD.  Can anyone see if this was their 2nd setlist?

Good thought, but doesn't match up. #28 specifically says Home - Live Scenes from New York; that wasn't filmed in HD though was it?

[darkshot]

I looked up on the tourography (thank god it is back), and I think some of those may have been from a 2006 show in Tokyo, but it doesn't all match up.

https://www.mikeportnoy.com/dates/tourography/searchresults.asp?criteria=another+won&in=song

There's only 4 shows where they played Another Won in Japan, and it is followed by Fortune in Lies, but the rest don't match up.  Maybe its just a hodgepodge of random shows throughout the years as like a bonus disk?  Or maybe they made that part up to screw with our heads which worked marvelously...

[Chino]

I'm still hoping for a multi angle concert.

Lowdz posted a link, but it was busted.  I'm not saying it's fake, but so far there's still no confirmation.  No, I'm not going to go to their site and search for it.  If it exists, where's the link?
