Live Album with Mike Mangini?

Hey. I was just wondering what you guys thought of having DT's next album be a live album? I think it would be cool to hear how Mike Mangini plays their older songs too. I say them play "The Glass Moon" on a short youtube clip the DT posted on their Facebook page and lived how he did the chorus. I would love to hear more that is not a bootleg.

They have mentioned a few times that they want to do a live album.

We're getting 1 step better. They are definitely doing a live DVD from this tour. Mentioned now by a couple members of the band.

It's a great idea! Looking forward to this DVD/album. I'd like to see something similar to the Chaos In Motion DVD/CD set. An added bonus is if they could slip in a new upcoming tune or improv jam track on it.

It would be great if they did a live album with Mangini, seeing how their last live album/DVD was Chaos In Motion and they skipped out a dvd of the Black Clouds tour, i think we are due a DVD :)

Personally, if they do put out a live album for this tour, I hope it's in the same fashion as Score as opposed to the more raw material on Chaos In Motion. Just my two cents!!

Rise up, be counted
Stand strong and unite
Wait for the outcry

I haven't seen Chaos In Motion. But I have seen Score. I love Score so much. Watching Six Degrees and Octavarium in their full live is awesome.

Yeh, I think i saw a interview LaBrie saying they might be doing it in 3d, but I watch it late so I might be wrong. It would be awesome though, I hope they don't do it like Chaos in Motion, I wasn't a big fan of the quality but the bonus features were great on it. I hope they make it like Score, also an audio commentary would be awesome as well.

That would be freakin' amazing to have it in 3D! I have always wondered what a live concert would be like in 3D.

@Ytsejam58: Joe Satriani's 3D concert is playing now in select theaters. http://satchurated.com/
Now that would be cool to watch DT in 3D at a theater with surround sound.. the works.

Hopefully they read these posts before going to production on the DVD. I'd like to see the DVD done more like Score too. You know CIM isn't even listed in their discography so they may not like it so much either. Great suggestion for DVD commentary, that would be cool too.

@comment: Well, I think that is because CIM is a DVD only, not a CD. I think the Discography only covers their CDs
