This highly anticipated recording of the fourth day of Dream Theater's 40th Anniversary Japan Tour, held at Osaka Festival Hall on March 2nd, is completely captured in stunning high-quality sound.
Brought to you by the renowned XAVEL label, this multi-stereo IEM matrix sound source perfectly combines the multiple IEM sources used by each band member on stage, each with a different mix balance, with the label's original high-quality audience source for a perfectly balanced stereo mix. With perfectly separated keyboards and guitars on the left and right channels, drums with overwhelming stereo separation, a bass with a gritty midrange that's unique to line sound sources that's the highlight, and vocals with a strong presence in the center, the entire band sound is captured in its entirety with astonishing separation and resolution that approaches that of a stereo soundboard source, while the realism unique to live performances, such as the deep bass and audience excitement, can also be felt just right, resulting in the ideal live sound that only XAVEL can deliver.

While clicks are used in some of the songs, mainly new songs, they are almost entirely absent in landmark numbers like the opening "Metropolis," so you can enjoy the show without feeling stressed.

The two-part, nearly three-hour, soulful performance on this tour sees significant changes in content each day, and the set list for this Osaka performance began with an encore of "A Change of Seasons," performed in full with furious momentum. Mike Portnoy made a surprise return and this is the definitive title that will tell you the full story of the special tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band's formation.
