The clip highlights the release of the 40th anniversary headlining show in Paris
Fresh off their fourth career Grammy nomination, progressive metal mainstays Dream Theater have released a live performance video for “Night Terror,” the Best Metal Performance–nominated track from their 2025 album Parasomnia. The clip previews the band’s upcoming concert film and album, Quarantième: Live à Paris, recorded during their sold-out 40th Anniversary Tour stop at the Adidas Arena in Paris.
The band, comprised of James LaBrie, John Petrucci, John Myung, Jordan Rudess, and Mike Portnoy, earned the nod in the wake of a major year that included a celebrated reunion lineup, a new album, a global headline run, and continued demand from a fan base spanning four decades and multiple generations.
“We are truly humbled and grateful to receive our fourth Grammy nomination,” the group shares. “After 40 years together, it still means so much to be recognized by the music community. When we began writing ‘Night Terror,’ it felt special to us on a personal level — so to see it resonate in this way is something we don’t take for granted. Thank you to the Recording Academy for this honor, and congratulations to all of the nominees this year.”
Quarantième: Live à Paris arrives November 28th via Inside Out Music/Sony Music and features a career-spanning set including “Metropolis Pt. 1,” “Panic Attack,” “Octavarium,” and “Pull Me Under.” The release continues momentum from recently issued live videos for “Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu” and “Barstool Warrior.”
Presented in several formats, with artwork by longtime collaborator Hugh Syme, Quarantième: Live à Paris will be available as a Limited Deluxe 3 CD/3 Blu-ray artbook, including 68 pages of photos and artwork as well as an additional Blu-ray of bonus material. It will also be available as a special edition 3 CD/2 Blu-ray Digipak, Limited Deluxe 180-gram 4 LP box set, and digitally. The Blu-ray includes the full show with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound, and high-resolution stereo audio.
The group has partnered with AMC Theatres for a one-night-only showing in select cities on November 17th. The feature, with a runtime of 175 minutes, will be presented in 4K Ultra High-Definition Video and Immersive Atmos Audio. Attendees will have access to purchase exclusive color vinyl variants and event-specific merchandise via a QR code on display inside participating theaters.
