He doesn't say it, but you can cleary hear that the left bass drum is not heard, listen 4:27 on this video, then compare it with around 4:31 on the original.
it takes a brave man to back down ... this right here is why thats a bad thing your voice cant do that anymore ... more evident as this appears to be backline sound ... im almost certain some backing vocals could cover the cracks ...no need to go on reality TV
I know there have already been a million comments made about James's voice, so I guess I will make it a million and one. How could such an otherwise incredibly talented band not hear what millions of their fans hear every night that they play? My only explanation is that they are being loyal to a fault. That is admirable, but not when it brings down the whole vibe and sound of an otherwise awesome show. I will admit that earlier on in their career he sounded good live, but not anymore and I for one wont spend anymore of my hard earned money for tickets to see them live until they replace him with someone who can actually sing. I am serious, for the last decade or so he has been holding this band back big time. Just my very humble opinion. Take care and peace!!!!!
I think it's Portnoys smile, theatrics and obviously is insane skills that makes him the most attractive drummer in DT. Mangini looks constipated even when he smiles
What the hell is with the two top comments being about the singer, this video is about the drummer Mike Portnoy and his amazing skills and his performance. What he does astonishes me in this video, he's coordinating his limbs all over the place and still finds time to do other things while still keeping the beat, he even recovered quite nicely from a fail at a drum stick catch. This guy is amazing.
지구상 최강의 완벽에 가까운 드러밍.... 현란한 테크닉과 강력한 파워, 폭발적인 스피드를 고루 갖추고 컴퓨터보다 더 정확한 리듬을 구현하는 신기에 가까운 놀라운 드럼연주실력.... 마이크 포트노이는 더이상의 설명이 필요없는 단연코 지구상 최고의 드럼 연주자이다~~~~!!!! ^0^
Drum any way! I've drummed for 40 years and could never be as good as Mike. Drumming is fun! Do it and take it as far as you can. And every day you wake up in the morning, you'll have something in mind that you want to get up and learn. What Mike does, any drummer can do! don't ever give a dream! It just takes time.
DT is great band but Portnoy was the key element YES Mangini is doing an unreal job GREAT drummer but Portnoy had a different sound style wonder if way down the road they'll be a reunion you never know The Winery Dogs are a great band and achieving success and Mike is phenomenal in that line up a much easier gig but he obviously is loving it
Omair Sheikh Not quite Mike Mangini is a very good drummer trying to fill Very Big Shoes I feel he's holding his own the band are different with him I would have loved to see Bobby Jarzombek behind the kit I heard he passed on the gig too bad monster drummer
A Tabish He's done nothing special with DT for me, but then again neither has teh band in a while. And Jarzombek would have been too strong of a voice in the band. I'm happy Jim Matheos recruited him for Fates Warning. They've released two great albums with him. Theories of Flight is the album of the year for me.
It would have been so perfect if Mike's left kick mic was working and James had taken his doctors advice and stopped singing for a while after getting food poisoning :( Other than that, awesome! I loved this band since the beginning
And this is why Portnoy is the best. He definitely knows his left bass drum isn't mic'd properly, or it's completely off. Yet he still plays with both feet, doesn't miss a beat, and even kills the fills! He was literally the heartbeat and soul of DT. Now it just sounds like LaBrie, Petrucci, and Myung are playing with a drum machine. There's no more feeling in the music.
WTF are u talking about? Portnoy is one of the most technical drummers there is! And considered my many, myself included to be one of the greatest of all times!
Mike is a dynamic, powerful, driving force of creativity. There is so much of him in these songs and without him DT is not the same band. Such a shame because he doesn't come to life like this in his other projects.
Hes fun to watch and daydream that im him behind the drumset. Everybody should check out the band "Tallah" , the drummer is none other than Max Portnoy. He has alot of his Dad in him and im looking foward to hearing more songs from them!-!
Best ever! Banging drums, adjusting his glasses, twirling sticks, and singing - all at the same time!! King Portnoy!!

Jesus LOL!!!!! :))))
Geezz...😅😅😅
damnn eagles eyes LOL :))
I love James, and I really enjoy this live performance.
"WASTJAAHADAFLAGADASAJAHADADAJAMNAHTAFRAD"
He looks like he’s just having a good time. Doesn’t even seem to be straining. Drums like he owns it and does background vocals. He’s unreal.
That's not the best performance from LaBrie, but Mike ... bow down, sir.
i miss you mike in dream theater
Overheard: "Hello? Hi, yes, can you check and ensure my left bass drum makes it through customs? Thanks."
I figured someone caught it.
When did he say it
He doesn't say it, but you can cleary hear that the left bass drum is not heard, listen 4:27 on this video, then compare it with around 4:31 on the original.
its obvious the intro requires double kciking but all you hear is the right kick being set off.
Yeah man. The Mic is turned off
Now that's how you play drums.
No it's not. We can't play like that; we're mortals.
Leandro Valdez
I've seen him do better. But yeah, he's definitely one of a kind. Sad, when he left DT so did I.
Mike Portnoy is just one word on the drums. Perfection!
Too much overplay.
Yes
Mike's drumming is phenomenal! James La brie's voice was painful to listen to though.
😆😆
I was thinking just that!
It's really tragic that Labrie's injury made such a lasting impact on his voice :/
His voice was terrible. Like seriously seriously terrible.
it takes a brave man to back down ... this right here is why thats a bad thing
your voice cant do that anymore ... more evident as this appears to be backline sound ...
im almost certain some backing vocals could cover the cracks ...no need to go on reality TV
Mike Portnoy is an absolute beast on the drums ! 🤘
Portnoy is just amazing. Love watching this play.
I love his drumming style, fills and overall attitude.
Same, he is my idol
I know there have already been a million comments made about James's voice, so I guess I will make it a million and one. How could such an otherwise incredibly talented band not hear what millions of their fans hear every night that they play? My only explanation is that they are being loyal to a fault.

5:20 LOL!
sounds like an alcoholic grandmother on karaoke night, but Mike P. is great to watch, such relaxed precision
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
One o the best drummer's to have ever graced us with his presence & skills...
Mike Portnoy is my favorite drummer to watch, bar none.
Mike Portnoy.. the man behind dream theatre's music!
What the hell is with the two top comments being about the singer, this video is about the drummer Mike Portnoy and his amazing skills and his performance. What he does astonishes me in this video, he's coordinating his limbs all over the place and still finds time to do other things while still keeping the beat, he even recovered quite nicely from a fail at a drum stick catch. This guy is amazing.
👍
Portnoy made Dream Theater come alive... another good call at 1:05 getting the bass turned up... pity it couldn't drown out James shrieks.
if you dont like Mike something is wrong with you
Mike Portnoy is the master of drums
+Thiago Sakata And Neil Peart is The Professor ;)
The most inspirational drummer of all time.
Tyepianoguy 👍
One of them,yes

It's really nice to get to see the drummer thru the entire piece. Especially a drummer who's as good as Mike is. It's a trip to watch.
Mike Portnoy nn 6 umano,6 un polipo con 8 braccia....semplicemente MOSTRUOSO...UN MITOOOOO
Drum any way! I've drummed for 40 years and could never be as good as Mike. Drumming is fun! Do it and take it as far as you can.

I can't hear Labrie over the dying, screeching cat?!
вот это рекомендация выпала - юбилей публикации - 10.09.2020 !!
portnoy freakin rocks!!!!😊
Man, I watch this man play drums and I want to became a drummer!
DT is great band but Portnoy was the key element YES Mangini is doing an unreal job GREAT drummer but Portnoy had a different sound style wonder if way down the road they'll be a reunion you never know The Winery Dogs are a great band and achieving success and Mike is phenomenal in that line up a much easier gig but he obviously is loving it
Well said, bro
Mangini -> M for machine, Portnoy -> P for passion
Love this song, from 7:06: pure magic
Mangini isn't doing an unreal job, you could have programmed drums on the albums and they would sound the same as Mangini.
Omair Sheikh fuck you man, I don't see you being the fucking drummer for dt, mikes fucking amazing
Omair Sheikh
Not quite Mike Mangini is a very good drummer trying to fill Very Big Shoes I feel he's holding his own the band are different with him I would have loved to see Bobby Jarzombek behind the kit I heard he passed on the gig too bad monster drummer
A Tabish He's done nothing special with DT for me, but then again neither has teh band in a while. And Jarzombek would have been too strong of a voice in the band.

It would have been so perfect if Mike's left kick mic was working and James had taken his doctors advice and stopped singing for a while after getting food poisoning :(
Other than that, awesome! I loved this band since the beginning
NO KIDDING WTF why would they not have the other kick micd for this lol
+Barbie Grace But hes better now
if you are the girl on the picture... you was not born "since the begening" ...
it was mic'd just technical difficulties.
Pier-Andrea Bascetto Just because you probably look old, doesn't mean everyone does. It's not my fault my genetics are so good 😘
very good
I love watching Mike play drums! He makes the impossible seem so easy.. I my opinion there is nobody better!!
Have you seen Vinnie Paul?
Portnoy is so locked in, but free flowing at the same time.
One of the best.. He’s not the typical drummer who just plays 4/4 most of the time. I love watching him play.
Same with Danny Carey.
This song make me joyously.
Portnoy's drums sounds great! Ilove it do much.
And this is why Portnoy is the best. He definitely knows his left bass drum isn't mic'd properly, or it's completely off. Yet he still plays with both feet, doesn't miss a beat, and even kills the fills! He was literally the heartbeat and soul of DT.
Now it just sounds like LaBrie, Petrucci, and Myung are playing with a drum machine. There's no more feeling in the music.
still my fave DT song.
It’s good that I’ve got a chance to see the original line up preform before he left the group
This is one of the best drum solos ever,if it was just a solo, personally my favorite one.
I am a guitar player but I always love me some Portnoy he is just so damn talented and makes it look so easy.
Mike freakin' Portnoy!!! The reason I just discovered this fantastic band! Wish he was still with them though.
he is back!
First song i ever heard From DT back ih 92'!!!
long live mike portnoy
WTF are u talking about? Portnoy is one of the most technical drummers there is! And considered my many, myself included to be one of the greatest of all times!
Che bravi e poi c'è lui maik Portnoy batterista incredibile, la vera star
mike portnoy, no. 1 for me
Just another 10-15 years and maybe one day i could play this
MP is one of the greatest for sure.
Not only a spectacular percussionist but revels in being very good showman. Bravo Mike.
awesome song and awesome drummer!
Izzy Six 👍
Mike is a dynamic, powerful, driving force of creativity. There is so much of him in these songs and without him DT is not the same band. Such a shame because he doesn't come to life like this in his other projects.

Mike Portnoy the best drummer I've ever seen...
