The band’s new release drops this fall
With the US tour underway and playing to excited fans nationwide, Grammy-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater are releasing a new live release on November 28th via their longtime label partner Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Quarantième: Live à Paris documents the iconic lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and drummer Mike Portnoy’s sold-out show from Paris, France, on their 40th Anniversary Tour of Europe. The release contains a setlist that spans the band’s entire career, with classics like “Metropolis Pt. 1,” “Panic Attack,” “Octavarium,” and “Pull Me Under” represented among other fan favorites. The show was recorded in front of a capacity crowd at the Adidas Arena.
To coincide with the announcement, the band releases the live version of “Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu.”
“From the moment we announced our 40th anniversary tour, we knew it would be a very special event for both the band and our fans and must be captured. With this release, our performance in Paris is presented so beautifully in both stunning audio and video and really encapsulates this momentous occasion for all to enjoy,” explains Petrucci.
“We always knew this tour would be unforgettable because not only were we celebrating 4 decades since forming the band, but also the reunion of the band’s classic lineup. The excitement and emotions between us and our fans at each and every show were palpable and totally off the charts! The night captured here in Paris was an epic evening that we can now share with the whole world to celebrate this incredible tour,” adds Portnoy.
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, & high-resolution stereo audio.
Dream Theater is currently on tour in the United States, continuing their An Evening With Dream Theater run that will celebrate the band’s recent chart-topping 16th studio album, Parasomnia. Dream Theater will be performing their latest album in its entirety, and the entire seven-movement masterpiece “A Change of Seasons” for the first time since Mike Portnoy’s return along with other classics and fan favorites from their catalog.
