Jewel case version of 32-bit "When Dream And Day Unite" remaster
Added on 03-22-2002
The following information regarding the 32-bit remaster of "When Dream
And Day Unite" comes from Eddie Wilner of One Way Records:
Dream Theater fans will be happy to know a remastered
version of When Dream And Day Unite will be available in standard jewel box which will contain the original 12 page color booklet from the Mechanic
Records release in 1989, which contains pictures and lyrics. A must for any Dream Theater fan!
The limited edition debuted this week on Billboard's Internet Sales chart at #7. The remastered limited edition is
completely sold out. We should have the jewel box version ready by the end of next week,
but we're saying 4/9 just to play it safe.
Best,
Eddie.

Dream Theater's performance on the CBS "The Early Show" cancelled
Added on 08-29-2002
We regret to announce that Dream Theater have been forced to cancel the appearance on the CBS Morning show.
The show was only able to provide us with a performing situation that would have been "musically
compromising" and one which would have given an improper representation of the band and its music.
We're sorry to be disappointing any fans that were looking foward to the show, but to be honest we were
hoping to not even make this possible appearance public until further information was provided to us
first and unfortunately the information was prematurely leaked on Elektra's website.

Dream Theater tour press release
Added on 08-08-2002
On August 8th, 2002, the following press release was sent out to 5,000 entertainment
media contacts nationwide, including radio, TV and print, as well as all the entertainment
news online databases and sites.
"FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
For band member interview requests, contact band publicist, Christopher Buttner at cb@aarvak.com
telephone: 415-893-1020, fax: 415-892-5971.
HEAVY METAL ROCKERS, DREAM THEATER, BEGIN THEIR LARGEST US CONCERT TOUR.
AUGUST 8, 2002 -- DREAM THEATER's 2002 U.S. co-headlining summer tour with Joe Satriani,
beginning August 8 at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, Arizona, will be their most ambitious
US tour in their 14-year career. In Europe and Japan, DREAM THEATER (Elektra Entertainment
Group) sells-out festivals of up to 40,000 fans and their 2002 U.S. summer tour will have
them playing to the largest audiences ever in their native United States of America.
DREAM THEATER will perform in outdoor ‘Shed' venues in major cities, such as Michigan's
12,500-seat DTE Energy Center, August 30, and Northern California's 12,500-seat Chronicle
Pavilion, August 11. The 29-date North American concert tour concludes with an anticipated
sell-out performance in DREAM THEATER's hometown of Long Island, NY, September 14, 2002,
at the 14,000-seat Jones Beach Theater.
Recognized as being comprised of some of the most technically proficient musicians alive,
DREAM THEATER continues to defy the thrash, grunge and punk rock rehash herd, as well as
pop rock's continuing - and somewhat never-ending - slide into total banality. DREAM
THEATER's lush, dynamic and conceptual songs, averaging 8 to 12-minutes in length - the
longest clocking in at 42-minutes - showcase the band's ability to create complex
arrangements and perform them with passionate musicianship. Dream Theater's headlining
performances average three hours in length with performances in their hometown of Metro
New York lasting as long as four hours or more!
In spite of a complete lack of FM rock radio support, DREAM THEATER's rabidly loyal fan
base continually and exponentially grows almost solely from word-of-mouth and more
fan-supported web sites than any other rock band. Like well-known arena-filling bands
such as METALLICA, PHISH and RUSH, DREAM THEATER follows their own musical path and,
in hot pursuit, fans will drive 14-plus hours to witness the musical spectacle of a
DREAM THEATER performance.
Since 1989, DREAM THEATER has released six studio and two live CDs, as well as a
best-selling live performance DVD. DREAM THEATER's 2002 studio CD release is a
double-disc set entitled SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULANCE, available on Elektra Records.
