If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Recorded on April 1,2006 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Dream Theater continues their epic journey and this time they take it to the next level with "The Octavarium Orchestra", conducted by Jamshied Sharifi. The madness, the insanity, the macabre, it has all the components. The awesome five nailed it with music some would say as good as a magic show by Houdini. James LaBrie with his lightning vocals, and dramatic expressions was outstanding. John Petrucci proved once again why he is the god of contemporary progressive insanity. John Myung, as usual continues to thrill with his six string gadget calling which a bass guitar is merely an understatement. Magician Jordan Rudess works extremely well with his keyboard solos, and taking them to an even higher level, making it look all so easy. And obviously, the backbone Mike Portnoy, the man on drums and contributing to backing vocals completes the band and make us understand why they are the best progressive rock band in the world. The music continues to swing between rock, blues, and the occasional jazz, which quiet naturally is the theme of Dream Theater and makes the awesome-five master of the macabre. Its definitely worth watching.
