Yeah, the whole idea of a rock band playing their greatest hits with orchestral accompaniment is fast becoming a cliche, but for progressive rockers Dream Theater, it's a natural fit. Their lengthy, complex & bombastic songs are perfect fodder for classical arrangements, and the end result is far more compelling than similar efforts by Metallica or Kiss. Though the perfect way to celebrate the band's 20th Anniversary (but only 20 if you count the early years when they were known in the New York area as Majesty), only the second half of this concert includes a full orchestra. The first half sees the band digging deep into the back catalogue to perform a song or two from every album of their career, as well as a few never-before-released tunes. These songs, while not always the best representations of the albums from which they sprang, are performed immaculately (Dream Theater is one of the few hard rock bands who sound as good live as they do in the studio). But once the orchestra shows up to augment such classic epics as "Metropolis" & "Six Degree of Inner Turbulence," the band shifts into sonic overdrive, laying to rest once and for all that orchestral rock is an oxymoron.
