IMAGES, WORDS & BEYOND LIVE IN JAPAN 2017 Online video stream 30/01/21 7pm EST

[Trav]

I saw it when it was on YouTube. I still bought it. They're still my favorite band. Why not?  I'll see if I can download it. If I can't, that's fine.

[Ben_Jamin]

You know what sucks...

My card is declining on this site, yet it works everywhere else. WTF?!!....Sent them a message wondering what the hell it's about and going to hit up my bank tomorrow. Don't see why it's declining online but not when I go out to town.

FYI, sometimes card issuers will block particular transactions if they are "coded" a certain way and sometimes card issuers will block particular vendors for the same reason.   

I had a work credit card once that oddly wouldn't accept transactions at pharmacies.

Thanks for the info...

Found out why....Apparently, it's billing to Great Britain. I looked at the websites FAQ's and it says to call your bank if unsuccessful.

I'll admit I saw Primus a few weeks back, but it was a one off laid back kind of affair which was pretty cool.

[Peter Mc]

Wasn't up on this show at the time, and didn't care much to follow it. I am sure I checked out the setlist at some point, but looking at it again... man that is a random first set.

I know what you mean but it was better in reality than it looks on paper.  I remember seeing the set and not being too excited about it..  On the night though, I was blown away by it.  I remember saying to my mate in the intermission that I would have been perfectly happy with that as the whole concert and would have felt I got my money's worth but we still had I&W plus ACOS to come!

[Herrick]

Russell Allan ?

Wasn't he the singer in the abysmal Adrenaline Mob ? The most generic 'metal' band i've ever heard ?

Fuck that. I'd take Labrie on his worst day over that.

You should probably get out more, if Adrenaline Mob is "the most generic 'metal' band [you've] ever heard"   How many have you heard? 3?

I can't see how any band can get more generic and 'video game menu music' than " Feel The Adrenaline "...

I like that That's kind of the vibe I got when I listened to like half of one song of theirs years ago.

Anyway, this Budokan thing. I'd really consider paying for it, but I can't watch anything in peace until like 11pm. Oh well

[bosk1]

Currently, I plan to buy this.  Yeah, I'd like a physical product that I could pop in and watch any time as well.  But the reality is that, as said, the band do not own or control this product.  And even if they did, it's their decision.  This is not the ideal format for me, or how I generally like to consume music.  But as someone who really wanted to see this tour, and circumstances did not permit it to happen, I look forward to seeing this.  I wouldn't drop $16 for a stream on any sort of regular basis.  But for the rare thing like this, it's still cheaper than a concert ticket.

[Ben_Jamin]

But the reality is that, as said, the band do not own or control this product. 

That just cracks me up. As people were pointing fingers at the band. Which is why I really wish us fans would really learn about the music industry and how it works. So we would understand, it's not the bands choice whether this broadcast gets a physical release from them.

I bought this, so I can relive that tour, at least some of the songs, in good audio. I had missed when it was posted on Youtube. And $40 isn't that much to me, to be paying for a Q&A after the show. I paid Devin Townsend like $30 for his Crappy Halloween Show.

This is in about an hour. I decided to take the plunge. We'll see how it goes.

To those able to watch it, please post any new/cool info they reveal on the Q&A

[Skeever]

I just started it, definitely a few minutes behind. Sounds quality is good, visual quality is not quite as good as I had hoped but definitely watchable.

They're playing Breaking All Illusions now.

I largely agree with the above. Video is in 1080p for the most part, a few (likely) streaming issues here and there. Audio is solid.

James has had a few issues in the first set with his vocals. JP with a mistake in The Gift Music solo. Otherwise, great so far.

To those able to watch it, please post any new/cool info they reveal on the Q&A

Sure.

I got my link at ~2am US EST this morning.


edit: Intermission between sets is 'Viper King'.  HAHA

[OpenYourEyes311]

Definitely enjoying this. They're on Another Day right now, and I think James has sounded great. I don't understand the complaints against him year after year. This is just what he sounds like.

Band has been tight. Stream is totally worth it for me!

[Ben_Jamin]

Just caught up to The Bigger Picture and came back on Another Day. Will watch the whole thing later on when I can get better internet connection. Mine is buffering every other second, cheap hotspot connection as my data hit the limit.

I'll try and remember what they say during the Q and A

[faizoff]

So if I purchase this now I can watch it once only right in the given window?

Man, LaBrie is killing it on Learning To Live.

[geeeemo]

ACOS. Hea-vy. Sounds so good. This song just gets better and better for me. Recently it surpassed Octavarium as my no 1.
Goodbye

JP's tone in this era just adds another layer to ACOS' heaviness.

[Trav]

The best representation of ACOS for me. When the Another Life section kicks in...with the lights cranked up. Goosebumps.

[Ben_Jamin]

That was great to reminisce...That bass was excellent.

[ResultsMayVary]

Man, JP's tone was something on that tour. Great show overall. James rebounded from my early show criticism.

[Ben_Jamin]

The guys didn't remember much anything about the show...

Besides Rich Chycki's (sp?) daughter and her Japanese boyfriend.

A lot of banter and BBQ talk so far. And MM always counting time signatures, even in his sleep.

[Ben_Jamin]

John do you smoke? (didn't mention which John) (about BBQ)

JM: Yeah?

JR: Well What?

[Shadow2222]

Did I miss how to ask a question?

[ResultsMayVary]

MM just mentioned The Bigger Picture was from The Astonshing and JP had to correct him. And JR says he forgot what song it was originally while watching the show.

edit: JR mentions the "Lost Not Forgotten" archives to be released which includes this show streamed tonight plus other shows.

[Ben_Jamin]

Lost Not Forgotten Archives is the new Ytsejam

[Shadow2222]

Yes! Lost not Forgotten Archives coming soon-ish with Budokan as the first release! Successor to YtseJam

[Lonk]

Lost Not Forgotten  hyped

[Ben_Jamin]

I bet it'd be on Bandcamp.

Just the Images and Words portion of the show, per JP.
