DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy has issued the following update:

"Well, three DT items were added to iTunes today, and iTunes f*cked up two of the three!! (ugh....why us???????)

1. Forsaken EP (with 2 live tracks) - this one seems to be correct. However, because of some ridiculous iTunes EP rule, we weren’t allowed to include the live version of TDEN because it was 'too long'.

2. Greatest Hit (And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs) - Disc 2 seems to be labelled incorrectly on this, so you have to relabel it yourself or wait a day or two for them to correct it.

3. Greatest Hit (And 5 Other Pretty Cool Videos) - that’s right! The first six DT promo videos are now available on iTunes - unfortunately the actual 'Greatest Hit' itself ('Pull Me Under') is currently missing from the bundle. Once again, this should be fixed in the coming days.

Don’t get me wrong, I love and support iTunes and find it an incredibly convenient way of shopping for music, but it isn't exactly DT-friendly!!!"
