This is the complete recording of the second day of Dream Theater's 40th Anniversary Japan Tour, held at EX Theater Roppongi on February 26th, in stunning high-quality sound.
Brought to you by the familiar XAVEL label, this is a multi-stereo IEM matrix sound source. This stereo mix is an exquisite blend of multiple IEM sources, each with a different mix balance, used by each band member on stage, and the label's original, high-quality audience source. The keyboards and guitars are perfectly separated into left and right channels, the drums loom with stunning stereo separation, the bass with its impressive gritty midrange unique to line sources, and the vocals with their presence in the center. The entire band sound is captured with astonishing separation and resolution approaching that of a stereo soundboard source, while the unique live presence of a live performance, such as deep bass and audience excitement, is also captured just right, resulting in the ideal live sound that only XAVEL can deliver.

While clicks are used in some tracks, particularly new songs, they are almost entirely absent in landmark numbers like the opening "Metropolis," ensuring a stress-free listening experience.
The two-part, nearly three-hour performance on this tour has seen significant changes in its content from day to day, and the second-day Tokyo EX Theater performance is completely different from the tour premiere stage Nippon Budokan performance held the previous day, so be sure to listen to both days with this highest sound quality and compare them.

This is the fastest and definitive title that gives a full picture of the special tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band's formation, which began with Mike Portnoy's surprise return.
