Portnoy, Sheehan, MacAlpine, Sherinian – “Live in Tokyo” [Blu-ray Review]
Filmed on November 14, 2012 in Tokyo, Japan this concert extravaganza features some of the best players in the business performing together onstage for one magical night. With drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, The Winery Dogs) bassist Billy Sheehan (Talas, Mr. Big, David Lee Roth), guitarist Tony MacAlpine and keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion, Dream Theater, Billy Idol) all playing in unison, the amount of talent on the stage is just utterly ridiculous.

The Blu-ray disc contains performances from each of the band members’ individual careers with highlights that include Billy Sheehan’s “Shy Boy,” Tony Macalpine’s, “The Stranger,” Derek Sherinian’s “Apocalypse 1470 B.C.” and Dream Theater’s “A Change Of Seasons: The Crimson Sunrise”. As you might expect, the setlist also includes extended jaw dropping solo performances by each of the individual band members which are worth the price of the disc alone. Rounding out the Blu-ray package is a behind-the-scenes bonus feature that gives you a brief, but cool peak into the lives of these musicians and this special event.
