Metal Review[1]

Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York is the third video album by American progressive metal band Dream Theater. It was released on April 21, 2001 by Elektra Records. The live performance was the final concert of the US leg of the Metropolis 2000 tour at the Roseland Ballroom, New York City on August 30, 2000.

Broadway and film actor Kent Broadhurst assisted the band with live narration in the role of the hypnotherapist, replacing Terry Brown, who had threatened to sue the band for using his spoken parts from the album in a live setting.

The VHS release of Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York was heavily shortened and only contains the performance of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The entire concert is on CD on Live Scenes From New York.
