The latest stupendous offering from the worlds premier metal prog rock band of the last twenty years is the Double DVD of the 'Around The World In 180 Minutes' live concert recordings which include the best of the bands songs recorded in over a year of touring on their Chaos In Motion world tour playing 115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on five continents. The double DVD actually does run for 180 minutes and includes live performances as well as behind the scenes video of the concerts, promo videos, photo gallery and a special documentary of the band that will have fans drooling.

Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 isn't just another live rock DVD. In typical Dream Theater form of bucking trends, it's a completist piece that will be available in two configurations: as a double DVD set and as five disc collector's set which includes two DVDs and three CDs, containing 14 live tracks featured in the DVD set as well as expanded artwork.

The Chaos in Motion Tour was a trek that found the band traversing the globe, playing 115 shows in 105 cities in 35 countries on five continents to hundreds of thousands of fans. It also included the first annual Progressive Nation Tour, an idea that the band had kicked around for a few years and finally launched into action this past spring.

Chaos In Motion 2007/2008 is the latest in a series of DVDs from the band and it features performances captured throughout the entirety of the tour, unlike their last three RIAA-certified Platinum DVDs, Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes From New York, Live at Budokan and Score, all of which focused on a single concert event.

Drummer and DVD creative director Mike Portnoy plumed his personal archives for footage in order to provide fans with the ultimate tour souvenir. He assembled over three hours of complete live performances, taking footage from shows in Rotterdam, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Boston, Bangkok and Vancouver. The tracks were mixed and effectively brought to life by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Rush). The second disc is packed with bonus material, including promo videos, live screen projection films, a photo gallery and a 90-minute documentary that'll make you feel like you're riding in the passenger's seat of the band's tour bus, as it takes you on the road and behind the scenes with the band and crew. It's like a virtual backstage pass that grants fans further unprecedented access.
