The long-awaited first day of Dream Theater's 40th Anniversary Japan Tour, held at Nippon Budokan on February 25th, is completely recorded 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 stunning stereo separation, a bass with a gritty midrange that's unique to line sound sources, and vocals with a strong presence in the center, the entire band sound is captured in its entirety with astonishing separation and resolution approaching that of a stereo soundboard source, while the deep bass and audience excitement that are unique to live performances can also be felt just right, resulting in the ideal live sound that only XAVEL can deliver.

While clicks are used on some of the songs, mainly new ones, 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 performance on this tour, with significant changes in content on each day, saw the Tokyo premiere Budokan performance completely different from the Tokyo second performance the following day, which was held at the EX Theater. We encourage you to compare both days in this superb sound quality.
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.
