Wikipedia:
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, before they dropped out to support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess.

Dream Theater has become a successful progressive metal band. Although the band has had a few successful hits (notably "Pull Me Under" in the early 1990s, which received extensive MTV rotation), they have mostly stayed underground for their career.

The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater's members have collaborated with many other notable musicians. Guitarist John Petrucci has been named as the third player on the G3 tour six times, more than any other invited guitarist, following in the footsteps of Eric Johnson and Robert Fripp.

Dream Theater's next album Systematic Chaos was released on June 5, 2007. The record marked their first with new label Roadrunner Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. Roadrunner implemented increased promotion for the album, and as a result, Systematic Chaos reached number 19 on the Billboard 200. It also saw the release of a video for "Constant Motion" on July 14, the band's first music video since Hollow Years in 1997. An authorized book entitled Lifting Shadows, detailing their first twenty years, was also released in 2007. Systematic Chaos contains eight tracks, but technically only seven songs. The album contains an epic titled "In the Presence of Enemies", bookending the album as tracks 1 and 8, Portnoy's continuing AA Saga with the song "Repentance", and a song of political nature, "Prophets of War".

The 2007/2008 Chaos In Motion World Tour started off in Italy. Dream Theater played in the Gods of Metal concert on June 3, 2007. Dream Theater also appeared at the Fields Of Rock Festival in the Netherlands on June 17, 2007. They also played at various other European festivals including the UK's Download Festival and the French festival Hellfest Summer Open Air with other bands such as Megadeth, Korn, Mastodon and Slayer.

Dream Theater returned to perform the North American leg of the tour on July 24 in San Diego, California and wrapped up on August 26 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They played with opening acts Redemption and Into Eternity. The "Chaos In Motion" tour continued for the rest of the year and into 2008, playing shows in Asia, South America and, for the first time, Australia.

The band's highest selling album is the gold selling Images and Words (1992), which reached #61 on the Billboard 200 charts. Both the 1994 release Awake and their 2002 release Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also entered the charts at #32 and #46 respectively and received mostly positive reviews. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence also led to Dream Theater becoming the initial band reviewed in the Music Section of Entertainment Weekly during its opening week of release, despite the magazine generally preferring more mainstream music. In 2007, Systematic Chaos entered US Billboard 200 at #19. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the U.S., and over 8 million records worldwide. The band's tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, was released on June 23, 2009. It entered the US Billboard 200 at #6 and Eurochart Hot 100 at #1, marking their highest entry on either chart.

Encyclopaedia Metallum:
If you haven't seen Dream Theater live, this is as close as you will get to the real concert experience.

I gave Dream Theater's last DVD, Score, a perfect 100, too, because it was one of the most remarkable concert performances I have ever seen. Despite being as flawless and fluid on stage as they've ever been, Dream Theater somehow manage to make every new release better and more exciting than before. They just get better every time.

Of course, that applies to Chaos In Motion, their fourth DVD. Unlike their previous three releases, Chaos In Motion is not a recording of a single concert performance purposely recorded for DVD. This is a collection of performances over a year (and a day) of the entire Chaos 07-08 tour, and the setlist is amazing, with newer, instant classics like Forsaken and Constant Motion, as well as the massive, epic In The Presence of Enemies, all the way back to the Images and Words days with songs such as Surrounded and Take the Time. The band plays the songs almost flawlessly, with a bunch of added solo work that Dream Theater is famous for (extended solos all throughout Surrounded, for example).

There is a lot of backstage footage on the main DVD, too. Every now and then, between songs, you will get to see a few minutes of the band behind the scenes preparing for a show, relaxing after the performance, signing things for fans, or just hanging out. There's always something exciting about watching a band you love having fun like normal people; it's very humanizing to watch them laugh at dumb jokes and play around before hitting the stage. It's no different for Dream Theater - Portnoy is a pretty big goof on film, and there's a lot of stuff that will make you laugh. It's very entertaining and also acts as an intermission between songs so you don't get bored.

Dream Theater certainly loves their fans. I picked this up off the shelf immediately, and it was only $20, but you get a shitload of stuff in this release. You're getting three hours of performances on the main disc alone. Obviously that's not enough, so you're also getting a second DVD with almost as much bonus footage. Promo videos (music videos and in-studio videos), a 90-minute documentary that gives you great insight behind the scenes, and even the special effects videos they use on the giant screens for their performances for certain songs. And then there's MORE backstage footage, and even a photo gallery. They've always been good about giving a lot to the fans, so I'm not complaining at all. Everything they've put into this is solid, entertaining stuff. Even if you don't like long DVDs, you'll find a way to watch this whole thing, guaranteed.

As for the performances themselves, you can't expect perfection every time - that's what comes with a live performance. Every now and then you might hear a slight technical problem, so something may sound a little quiet, but you won't notice it if you aren't looking for it. The visual quality isn't always up to par with their past releases, but that's because most of these were recorded with normal cameras. I like it, though, because it gives you a grittier vision of the bands at the performance, as opposed to the polished lighting and fixed camera movement of their extraordinary DVD concerts. The sound quality is perfect, in my opinion. I don't have any problems with it. James LaBrie seems to strain on some of the songs (Surrounded definitely seems to push him), but because these were normal concerts, it's not a big deal. He still does an amazing job and he gives it his all. The other members have their moments, too, but you'll obviously notice the frontman before the others.

There's no question that any Dream Theater fan should purchase this. This is definitely something the diehards like myself will drool over (and probably already have). I can't imagine what more anybody could want from this release. It's cheap, it's incredible, and it gives you more bonus material than you could imagine. Pick this up immediately and you won't regret it. Diehard or not, you're going to find a lot of stuff to enjoy with Chaos In Motion. Dream Theater made sure of it.

@ unchained

I believe that this is something really unnecessary. Perhaps if your CD is really dirty/scratched. Othewise it would be like using old "paranoid" mode.
Todays you can check it with AccurateRip CRC and you know it immediately, if it is correct or not. Providing you'll fill in correct offset value of course.

@ all

Your're welcome, glad that it found some audience!

What about "Fill up missing offset samples with silence : No". Did you ever find a post that said what would happen if this was checked and the drive could overread into lead in/lead out?

What about "Null samples used in CRC calculations : No". It would be nice if it was on so I don't have to burn it to verify it using CRC.

@ weiss59

No problem to change EAC's configuration like that. I have to say that I really don't know if any of my drives are capable of overreading into lead-in and out.
