On another thread I was beaming about the quality of the live Dream Theater DVD, "Score" which is the 20th anniversary show from the Radio City Music Hall. On that thread, someone mentioned that the Budukon DVD is also excellent. I went to buy the Live at Budukon DVD today but HMV didn't have it. So, I bought the live one from Rome, Italy... it's called, "Panem et Ciccensis." I actually fell asleep watching it and I wasn't even tired. I woke up with actual drool running down my thoat... The band sounds great in it, but holy shit, it's a boring, lack luster, poorly produced DVD. I produce television programming for a living so you can trust me, this one was poorly done. It almost looks like it was shot on film... kind of "soft" and fuzzy at times. NO shots of the audience members and that is what really makes a live DVD a good one... getting to feel like you're in the crowd. The Rush TMT Tour, "Live in Cleveland" DVD would be a good example of how clips of the audience can make a live concert video almost "come to life." Same with Rush in Rio... There is no encore in the "Live in Rome" DVD... no extra features, nothing at all. The thing comes on, they play, they leave the stage. I'm not sure if LaBrie even says two words to the audience either... I guess he may have while I was asleep with drool coming down... Anyway, sorry to piss on your pizza, but if you were thinking about buying this DVD, I wouldn't bother. The band sounds great, but you can get that from a buying a CD. OUT!
