Prior to purchasing this set, I was confused by other reviews, stating that the band played too many songs from "Metropolis Pt. 2 ", however it being the 20 year anniversary, it only makes sense to showcase that album, while still promoting "Distance over Time", in addition to tracks spanning the band's history.
Overall, the audio quality is consistently top-notch, and the performances, for the most part are superb. Bassist John Myung has an outstanding synergy with drummer Mike Mangini, providing a solid rhythm section, and guitarist John Petrucci, as well as keyboardist Jordan Rudess are in top form. James LaBrie's vocals during "Metropolis Pt. 2 "appeared oddly strained throughout, but are still quite good. This being said, if given the choice, in terms of listening to, and/or watching the performance of "Metropolis Pt. 2", I would choose "Live Scenes from New York", the three CD set, or one DVD, as although the band is performing the album in a considerably more intimate venue, the presentation makes you feel as if you were there. I should also point out that the DVDs featured in the "Distant Memories - Live in London" set are lacking in any audio commentary track, whereas the New York show 20 years prior features the band casually watching the performance, commenting on various influences, and even pointing out mistakes made. I don't know if this was something that DT abandoned with the departure of founding drummer Mike Portnoy or not, but I always enjoyed listening to the band talking together about this track or that, and I found it to be insightful. A minor gripe in the grand scheme of things though, as "Distant Memories - Live in London" is a must own, at an affordable price, and the material from "Distance over Time" is some of DT's best work to date.
Admittedly, I have a fondness for "Metropolis Pt. 2" Scenes From A Memory", as it was the album that really prompted me to explore the band's back catalog, and the album that made me a fan. I had heard "Images and Words" several times over the course of the 1990s, but was always put off by the production/engineering of the album's sound, and had also heard "Awake", and "Falling into Infinity", and despite those albums being fantastic in hindsight, "Metropolis Pt. 2" is my go to album in the Dream Theater catalog, and "Live Scenes from New York", with its humble feel, not to mention James LaBrie's vocals being utterly stellar makes the CD set and DVD worth tracking down, if you haven't already.
I would highly recommend "Distant Memories-Live in London" for the phenomenal performances, and a great set list. The packaging is simplistic but effective, although I would have preferred a sturdier box. If you plan on listening to the CDs repeatedly, I would recommend transferring them to another device, or copying them upon purchase, and in terms of the DVDs, I would advise the same, or placing them in separate cases alongside your existing DT DVDs and/or Blu-Ray's! =)
1) Excellent production quality. I like the mix, just a clear and strong sound, really makes songs like Pale Blue Dot, ITPOE and Nightmare to Remember stand out as honestly superior to the album versions (which are also good). So many great moments. Mangini sounds just incredible here.
2) James sings on key, and has a strong presence, singing with emotion. The flourishes he makes adds enough differentiation to the songs to make what is otherwise a scripted concert sound fresh.
3) Yes, it is yet another release of SFAM. But honestly, this is the best album in the recorded history of humanity, and this is probably the best release so far. I like the fact that DT toured this album live for new fans (like me) that missed it 2 decades ago. Highlights for me were Fatal Tragedy and Home.
Next the video portion:
1) Also great production quality. The camera tracking in the front row was a nice angle. No split-screens like previous release though, which is a bummer since those are always fun during complex song parts.
2) The BR discs are nice to have, but in the year 2021 perhaps just a digital copy would work better and be more portable.
This is an incredible release from DT. This review is kind of silly, because if you are a solid DT fan, you already pre-ordered this album :).
I’ve yet to explore every note in this blu ray/audio CD package, and so far I’m blown away, compelled enough to write this review. If you are already a fan, or have just discovered these maestro mammoths, BUY THIS NOW!
Congrats guys, you’ve completely outdone yourselves. As a fan, thanks so much for doing what you do and for giving us another stellar gem.
THANK YOU!
Did I mention you can now actually hear the bass? 5 stars for that alone.
p.s. if you want comparisons of shows, in terms of playing and quality, look up "before and after dreamtheater" on youtube.
