Mike Portnoy In Constant Motion DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you own any of Mike's previous videos you'll know what to expect here, more of the same with bonus footage from guest apperances with his side project tribute bands. He breaks down a few Neal Morse songs and the new OSI material and it was nice to see his drum set arrangements for those projects.
I'm becoming more a fan of watching him play than just listening to Dream Theater's music. This is a must for any current Mike Portnoy fan and I highly recommend this one to anyone who does not own any of his videos yet. Some of the most impressive playing I've ever seen captured on this set. This set costs less than a tank of gas in a full size SUV so just go for it.

Chaos in Motion (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought Dream Theater's Chaos in Motion off another website and for some reason they shipped it early and I got it today. Here is what I think about it.
I have every Dream Theater DVD to date, but this one lacks the quality of Live at Budokan or Score. I didn't know that this was going to be raw footage until I read the back of the case. The video quality looks decent, but if your expecting the look or nice camera angles of the past concert DVDs, you might be disappointed.
There are plenty of extra features on disk two that run well over two hours. There is a 90 minute documentary about the band's 35 country tour, some music videos and Mike Portnoy takes us on and behind stage in two short, but enjoyable segments. I really loved the documentary. You get to know the band, the crew and what life on the road is like.
The main thing Dream Theater does well with these DVDs (and they put one out about every two years) is the fact that they all feature different songs. The songs on here won't be found on the previous releases, which is nice for the fans.
The concert footage is good, could be better, but with a whole disc of extras, this is a must for anyone who likes Dream Theater.
