视频简介时长约180分钟的双碟现场，以高规格多机位录制，画质与音效均达到当时顶尖水准。曲目编排分为三幕：第一幕聚焦2010年代作品，包括《The Enemy Inside》《On the Bac...
I love how they structured this show in three acts. First the modern era, then the Awake tribute, then the Scenes finale with the orchestra. A journey through Dream Theater’s evolution.
《Breaking All Illusions》是A Dramatic Turn of Events时期最好的作品之一。现场版的动态范围控制得太好了，从安静的原声段落爆裂到重金属riff，切换自如。
The Looking Glass是对Rush的致敬，但梦剧院把它变成了自己的东西。那种前卫摇滚的律动，Petrucci的吉他音色，Mangini的鼓点… 向经典致敬，也超越经典。
《Enigma Machine》是Mangini的高光时刻。那段鼓独奏眼花缭乱，但又不只是炫技，每一个节奏变化都在服务音乐本身。乐评说“抢尽风头”，确实如此。
I’ve been a fan since Images and Words, and this is the best live recording they’ve released in years. The setlist alone is worth the price. Awake and Scenes in one show? Unreal.
作为一名鼓手，Mangini在《The Dance of Eternity》里的表现让我反复看了十遍。那段复杂的拍号转换，他处理得精准如机器，同时又有音乐性。这是顶级的演奏。
《Lifting Shadows Off a Dream》是Awake专辑里最柔美的作品。在波士顿歌剧院的声学环境下，Rudess的键盘音色像水晶一样透明，LaBrie的嗓音温暖而忧郁。
The orchestra during Illumination Theory wasn’t just background. They were an integral part of the composition. Those string arrangements, the choir… it became true symphonic metal.
《Scarred》是Awake组曲里的史诗级长曲。Petrucci的吉他solo部分情感充沛，LaBrie的嗓音在高潮处爆发。这首歌在现场被演绎得淋漓尽致，二十年老粉泪目。
The encore of Scenes From a Memory was the perfect ending. Finally Free with full orchestra and choir… the layered vocals, the dramatic finale, the standing ovation. Pure magic.
