4 stars It's a good DVD, yes, one of my favorite DT ones of all. I love it and have watched it several times. The crew plays with superior motive. James LaBrie's vocals are a little off but he is getting A LOT better, and Budokan shows it too. Sure everyone says is vocals live suck, but I'd have to say that with live at budokan you don't even notice, portnoy's monster drums set kind of distracts that minor detail. I'm giving this album a 4/5 because I felt DT could've done a little better, not with LaBrie, but there was a couple of songs in there that could've sounded a little bit better, such as War Inside My Head, The Test that Stumped them All, Only a Matter of Time, and Pull Me Under wasn't that incredible on this DVD as Dream Theater has usually played it as. The camera work is good, and so is the preformance, they stuck tight like they're known for. One good thing about this however, is when alot of friends and I played this DVD as a party, we converted (not religiously you see) a ton of people to the prog genre! DT, is good at doing that, so is Rush for that manner.
