DREAM THEATER - Upcoming Paris Show To Be Recorded For Official Live Album / Blu-Ray

Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy appeared on the October 24 broadcast of Sirius XM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk. During the interview , Portnoy revealed that the band filmed the 40th Anniversary tour kick-off show in London, England on October 20th - Portnoy's first show with the band in 14 years - "for posterity", and that there are plans for an official concert recording.

Portnoy: "We do have plans to film our show in Paris (November 23) for a live Blu-ray and a live album. The thing is we're gonna be on the road till the end of next year, and the new album doesn't even come out till February, so this world tour is gonna kinda go through two phases. The whole first phase - which would be the first six to eight months - will be the 40th-anniversary reunion celebration, but at some point mid-next year, we're gonna transition into a full tour cycle supporting the upcoming album. So even with the live album, that's probably one of two releases that we'll do because we're gonna wanna do a proper live release once we start playing the new album as well."
