The recording appears on the band’s upcoming live project
With six performances remaining on their final tour dates for 2025, Grammy-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater are releasing another live performance from their recently announced live release, Quarantième: Live à Paris. The band, comprised of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and returning drummer Mike Portnoy, is releasing a performance video of “Barstool Warrior,” which comes from the band’s 2019 album, Distance Over Time. The video is from the sold-out show in Paris, France, on their 40th Anniversary European headlining tour.
Quarantième: Live à Paris is available on November 28th via their longtime label partner Inside Out Music/Sony Music. 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. The band released a video of “Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu” when the album was announced.
Presented in several formats, with artwork by longtime collaborator Hugh Syme, Quarantième: Live à Paris will be available on November 28th 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, and digitally. The Blu-ray includes the full show with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound, and 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, as well as performing the entire seven-movement masterpiece “A Change of Seasons” for the first time since Portnoy’s return, as well as other classics and fan favorites from their catalog. The tour is scheduled for 30 cities across the United States through October 25th on Long Island.
