Prog music titans Dream Theater partner with AMC Theatres for the upcoming release of the concert film “Quarantième: Live à Paris” in select markets.

Having concluded their run of live performances for the rest of the year, progressive music titans Dream Theater are giving fans the chance to see their upcoming live release, Quarantième: Live à Paris, on the big screen. Partnering with AMC Theatres, the full-length concert film will run in select markets, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, on November 17 at 7 PM local time.

With a runtime of 175 minutes, the feature will be presented in 4K Ultra High-Definition Video and Immersive Atmos Audio. Attendees will have access to purchase exclusive color vinyl variants and event-specific merchandise via a QR code on display inside participating theaters. Tickets for the screening are $18 and can be purchased on the AMC website.

Quarantième: Live à Paris—the album, not the in-theater experience—is available on November 28 via the band’s long-time label partner, Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Dream Theater, comprised of James LaBrie (vocals), John Petrucci (guitar), John Myung (bass), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), and Mike Portnoy (drums), performed a set list spanning the band’s career with hits like “Metropolis Pt. 1,” “Panic Attack,” “Octavarium,” and “Pull Me Under,” represented among other fan favorites. The show was recorded in front of a capacity crowd at the Adidas Arena.

The band released a video of “Overture 1928 / Strange Déjà Vu” when the album was announced, and also recently released a video of “Barstool Warrior” from the live set.

Presented in several formats, with artwork by longtime collaborator Hugh Syme, Quarantième: Live à Paris will be available as a Limited Deluxe 3 CD + 3 Blu-ray artbook, including 68 pages of photos and artwork as well as an additional Blu-ray of bonus material. It will also be available as a Special Edition 3CD + 2 Blu-ray Digipak, Limited Delux 180g 4LP boxset, and digitally. The Blu-ray includes the full show with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound, and high-resolution stereo audio. Quarantième: Live à Paris is available for pre-order now through Dream Theater’s website.
