Majesty
Majesty In the Basement Mike Portnoy's Basement, NY, USA 16/8/87 Pro 9 DVD

Tech Details: NTSC, Full screen / 4:3, Dolby Digital, 53 mins, Chapters Auto 5mins
Comments:
Single tripod mounted camera filming the early version of what would become Dream Theater, practicing in the drummer's basement. featuring second vocalist Charlie Dominici, and filmed a few months before he would be officially in the band. Picture is a little dark, but excellent quality for the time, and is being operated by someone - probably Charlie Dominici as it only moves when he's not visible - so there's close ups and pans. Sound volume tends to vary slightly, but is otherwise really very good.

Pre-Images and Words - 9th June 1990 to ?
Dream Theater Its all Instrumental Sundance, Bayshore, NY, USA 17/11/90 AU 7 2CD

Comments: There was no vocalist for this show Charlie had already left and James hadn't started, so what you get is

a fully instrumental concert, with probably the longest version of "Ytse.." ever. And one of, if not THE first performance of "Change of Seasons". plus a rather long cover medley.... Some digi noise during disc one, and it wasn't the best recording, but its still historical.

Tech: PAL, Full screen / 4:3, LPCM, 47 minutes, Authored:

Comments Single camera shooting from stage left, in perfect clarity. Focus is mostly on James, the Johns and Jordan. Sound is pure soundboard, with a slightly fluctuating mix, and no crowd noise. That aside, is very near perfect footage of the first time Jordan appeared with the band, for a short while filling in when they were between keyboardists. 

Track Listing: Pull Me Under, Caught In A Web, Lie, Lifting Shadows Off A Dream, Voices, Take The Time

With Jordan not joining the band pick Derek Sherinian instead.

Sound, is taken from one of the audio bootlegs of the show and is very clear throughout, making this one of the best DT DVD's there is. including as it does the "Nightmare Cinema" version of Perfect Strangers where the band swap instruments!!
