Wow... it sounds just like the live album. Hearing this performance, The band sounds just like the old, original DT. But when DT now play this same songs with Mangini, it sounds totally different. My respect to Mike Mangini, awesome drummer. But watching this performance, Mike Portnoy was Dream Theater's soul.
I love Portnoy but I also love Mangini and I so sick of these kind of comments. D/T is an insanely great record and DT is doing just fine with Mangini behind the skins. This has to be put to bed.
I would say Labrie is one of the best worst singers, it is a weird contradiction, but his music is extremely hard to sing. At his prime he was one of the best singers of all time, but now while he can still sing them, the biggest problem is that he goes off key constantly and his voice has this weird nasal quality to it which is very hard to enjoy. But there is no doubt about how hard his songs are to pull off.
I totally agree. These younger singers might have a good vocal technique (even though this guy seems to make quite an effort to sing those lines) but they generally have poor expressive skills. So I get bored after a few minutes 😐 None of them gets even close to what Labrie did in the 90' both technically and performance wise.
Really love his solo stuff as well as his work with the Neal Morse Band, got a meet and greet with him (and Mike) earlier in the year and he was a super nice guy too
I agree, and he’s my favorite! He’s probably the MVP too with his world class guitar, keys, drums and amazing tenor vocals. The Neal Morse Band hit the motherload with Eric (and Bill)!
So MP went from "I need to take a break from DT music" to "playing in a DT cover band where the spotlight must shine on me at all time, even during the guitar solo"...

All the "Takes 3 guitarists to replace Petrucci" comments are hilarious. These people seriously don't get that there are multiple guitar tracks on the album and this allows that to be played here. It's not 3 guitarists to match Petrucci. Not like he plays multiple guitar tracks live on his own.
Well, I can only speak for myself, but for the way you're saying it, those comments don't refer literally to the amount of guitars recorded on the album by Petrucci, but to his talent. I mean, this is pretty obvious.
@@Freedum_Fries except he doesn't because there are parts missing live. Sure these guys could have gone out with just Eric Gillette and done that but they obviously wanted to include the other parts that were recorded. It's nothing to do with ability.
In this case, search for Overture 1928 Isolated guitars - it was only double tracked. John plays a stereo rig with a 7millisecond delay between each side to achieve the same "width" for most songs.

So do i.. I was there at the show!! So i want to spot myself😉. Live dvd’s from a show you were actually there have a special thing.The energy from this show was so unique. Mike Is one of my top 3 favorite drummers and a big inspiration for my drumming.
Don't we all? But it's unlikely to happen, the reason being (if I'm not mistaken) to avoid any kind of tension with DT. There's a possibility that more will be released via UA-cam though, so all hope is not yet lost.
Proud to say I was at that concert........Ok I see Portnoy in the Netherlands and I'll be there. Starting at the first DT concert in the Netherlands in Utrecht in 1993.......sh!t I'm getting old.
Mike Portnoy, is back home, will it be that this time we will have what we want, the complete Shattered Fortress show with the band we love so much? Or better yet, will we have METROPOLIS pt 3? This day is unforgettable!!! greetings from El Salvador
Sometimes I have to remind myself just how lucky I was to see MP's Shattered Fortress at ProgPower 2017...an event in which Haken also headlined a night performing Visions entirely... and then to see this as well?! ...I'll never take it for granted...
I was very lucky too. I had the privilege of hosting Mike for a drum clinic at my store right after Images and Words came out. He arrived very early in the morning so I picked him up at the airport and we went back to my house to kill a few hours before we headed to the store. I thought he’d be wanting to rest after his flight but to my surprise, he was very energetic so we jammed in my studio. Nothing like getting private lessons from MP! Clinic went great! He was a sweetheart of a guy!
My favorite backing vocals from MP, strange deja vu. It was the first thing I notice when I heard back then the album. Sir your are a True legend. Not even the pure magic that everything gets together on this music but if I close my eyes, in a second i can tell thats you playing. That you for sharing this with us. Cheers
the stamina control of a drummer.....2 arms 2 legs and every muscle in the body...not even talking about the mind.......wow!!!!!!! Mike Portnoy is a legend!!!
If James Was singing and I was just listening to the audio... I'd never know this wasn't DT.. Mike you found some great players on this, been a fan since 99.. This is awesome
Hello Mr. Mike Portnoy, i am a fans of you so long time until now.. because u are my idol, my inspiration of keep practice drum... i'm from Indonesia..
Cool version. I’m a big fan of Ross Jennings, his interpretation of LaBrie’s vocals is beautiful. It isn’t an easy voice to mimic, nor is Jennings. Gillette has some awesome chops. However, the mix job left the keyboardist out on the dark. His parts were fire. Still prefer the originals, including the 20th anniversary tour with Mangini adding his prowess to Portnoy’s drums. It was super clean and I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed it until after the show in Philly. Scenes From a Memory is one of my all-time favorite albums. The story still sends chills down my spin, even after I bought it 19 years ago. Still had the feeling watching Portnoy jam it out with these all-stars on stage.
Was so lucky to see Shattered Fortress in NYC, and see Max Portnoy's band Next To None play as well. It felt like something truly special I was witnessing.
This record changed my life, i was lucky to see DT in Rome during the Scenes from a Memory tour and i couldn't take my eyes off Mike. I was just a kid and i never thought someone could play like that. Great memories.
Adorei essa versão... !!!!!!! Instrumental impecável..vocal.. apesar de acostumado com o Labrie cantando ficou excelente !!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved this version!!!!! Amazion Portnoy !!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best shows i've been to. It all sounded so tight and refreshing with Ross on vocals. When the Glass Prison intro started.. goosebumps! Seeing Mike playing Finally Free and going nuts at the end is enough to make an awesome show!
Portnoy is allso a big part of what the show was , does not exist in present day DT , I now follow sons of Apollo for that reason,keep it going, hope you come to Edmonton soon
This awesome performance will always belong to Mike Portnoy.... Absouletly amazed by the power and energy and soul he's always put into this chapter of DT back in '99 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can feel what it's like now that you're feeling, mike, I know that you miss sitting on the porch of your old house again, and I still wish that you would 😭😭
Wow... it sounds just like the live album. Hearing this performance, The band sounds just like the old, original DT. But when DT now play this same songs with Mangini, it sounds totally different. My respect to Mike Mangini, awesome drummer. But watching this performance, Mike Portnoy was Dream Theater's soul.
I feel exactly the same.
I'd definitely have to agree!
Agreed
I love Portnoy but I also love Mangini and I so sick of these kind of comments. D/T is an insanely great record and DT is doing just fine with Mangini behind the skins. This has to be put to bed.
@@bbowman105 DT used to be much more than "just fine" with Portnoy. 😛
The best way to appreciate LaBrie's work in DT is by listening to other professional singers doing his lines.
I would say Labrie is one of the best worst singers, it is a weird contradiction, but his music is extremely hard to sing. At his prime he was one of the best singers of all time, but now while he can still sing them, the biggest problem is that he goes off key constantly and his voice has this weird nasal quality to it which is very hard to enjoy.

So I get bored after a few minutes 😐 None of them gets even close to what Labrie did in the 90' both technically and performance wise.
😂😂😂😂
I get it. I just wish the lead vocal here had some reverb. just a bit and a little delay too. At least it wasn't auto-tuned. I hate that.
I mean...he did a heck of a lot better than James does singing it live, at least today lol
Eric Gillette is the most underrated guitarist in prog
he's not even trying xD
But my favorite one
Really love his solo stuff as well as his work with the Neal Morse Band, got a meet and greet with him (and Mike) earlier in the year and he was a super nice guy too
And that’s just _one_ of the instruments he’s really great at
I agree, and he’s my favorite! He’s probably the MVP too with his world class guitar, keys, drums and amazing tenor vocals. The Neal Morse Band hit the motherload with Eric (and Bill)!
Portnoy.. You are the SOUL of Dream Theater... Just perfect!
Indeed, he is like the caffeine of Dream Theater, now we have a good Dream Theater, but caffeine free.
@@MrBluesboy21 Damn no wonder I'm a caffeine addict
@@MrBluesboy21 Thats hilarious!
So MP went from "I need to take a break from DT music" to "playing in a DT cover band where the spotlight must shine on me at all time, even during the guitar solo"...
i guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released series online?
There’s no one like portnoy
Mike Portnoy = Soul of DT
John Petrucci = King of DT
John Myung = THE IMMORTAL
Jordan Rhudes???? 🤔
Jordan = prince of peace
La Brie?

Best DT cover ever. Haken slayed. Btw feels like Portnoy keeps on being DT’S heart after all.
Yeah and his back😊
That's the way DT songs sound, that drumming sound is impossible to replace. That's PM = Power Mike! 😉
Yeahhh, I missed that too bro
We want more from this concert please 😁
I want it all... and I want it now!

Thank you, Mike, from the bottom of my heart. You are the soul of this music!
this is more like Mike Portnoy ft. HAKEN XD
True
It's the Eric Gillette experience ft. some other prog dudes.
i thought that i was hallucinating...
Mike Portnoy Ft Haken and Eric Gillette
Eric Gillette = The Best A Guitarist Can Get
Love the Hetfield Yeah at 4:34;)
Wow this singer, and this lineup just so great!!!
Thanks Mike Portnoy
man I still love Portnoy as a drummer
I SO want a DVD of this concert!!!!
eennymo yeeeee

Drummer Guy i know i’ve read an interview with mike
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life before this one.
ManOffTTC same
Same 😆
Aye. Same.
When Haken and Neal Morse Band unite. Best of the prog world 🤘🏻
Abso - fuckin - lutely
Just my thoughts..
My Portnoy is the heart of Dream Theater.. I can't feel Mangini's drumming but i like his attitude. Mike Potnoy is irreplacable.
Welcome back Mikey, we missed you!!
I never thought I would see someone other than Petrucci play 1928 live with good audio and video recording and play it clean.
Awesome 🤘🏼 좋아요
My god!!! Vocals pure and on point
Really impressed... No one can replace portnoy ...
Eric Gillette monster
@Wira Wirawan Wtf? Did you search an arrengement? Lol
Proud to say I was at that concert........Ok I see Portnoy in the Netherlands and I'll be there. Starting at the first DT concert in the Netherlands in Utrecht in 1993.......sh!t I'm getting old.

É nóis. É o show que mais me emocionou até agora!
Grande maestro... ídolo máximo!!!!
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱!!!
Mike you bring the old DT's soul back, well i miss that time like old days
Really impressed with the vocals as well.
happy 20th on SFAM . greatest album in all of rock and roll!
From Indonesian mana suaranya... Mike Portnoy always in my heart.. dream teather without Portnoy is nothing...
20 years of me having this shit in my ears. This is a deathbed album; This is THE deathbed album.
Like, Deathbed: The Bed that Eats (the album)?
Fucking Amazing, Hands Down The Best Live Rendition of these Songs
his back. king
Love the shot at 2:18. Eric nailing the petrucci parts with mike having fun in the bg
He did NOT nail them.
gr8guitarplayer HE DID 😍
@@gr8guitarplayer Maybe not in this performance, but at the concert I went to, he certainly did.
@@smurfiennes You need better ears.

the stamina control of a drummer.....2 arms 2 legs and every muscle in the body...not even talking about the mind.......wow!!!!!!! Mike Portnoy is a legend!!!
Mike and this guitarist what a level !!!
Finally I can watch and hear DT again, after several long time
One of the best DT cover bands ever.
If James Was singing and I was just listening to the audio... I'd never know this wasn't DT.. Mike you found some great players on this, been a fan since 99.. This is awesome
I want to hear this entire concert with this mix naow.
The Best cover ever from DT!!! Fucking Amazing!!!!
I loved this song 🖤 my favorite all the time and life 👌🏻😎🖤
Thank you Mike, awesome..
Yes i remember this show some year ago in milan...Simply awesome guys.👍👍👍
Hello Mr. Mike Portnoy, i am a fans of you so long time until now.. because u are my idol, my inspiration of keep practice drum... i'm from Indonesia..

3:55 is unique ... when the keyboardist looked at Mike, seems he knew what Mike will do :)
it's because he actually knew that
I mean, it's literally on the album.
Felling happy to see this.. 😍
Was so lucky to see Shattered Fortress in NYC, and see Max Portnoy's band Next To None play as well. It felt like something truly special I was witnessing.

Saw this show when it came to London: best gig ever. The energy coming from the band and audience was electrifying!
Wow

Oh my God!!! Post more, please Mike. I was stay in São Paulo in tour show 21/10/2017 was WONDERFULLLLLL

Fantastic! Great memory.
DT’s music is like the kid in a awkward divorce.

FanaticalDrummer you would know huh, ya putz
So true
And I just want the parents to get back together!!!!
@@jimborocks8372 Listen to Flying Color's last album and maybe you won't care so much about that divorce. I don't care anymore :)
Portnoy is allso a big part of what the show was , does not exist in present day DT , I now follow sons of Apollo for that reason,keep it going, hope you come to Edmonton soon
Thanks Mike! Great Video!!
One of the best shows I ever attended!
I will always be sad that you left, but I’m happy to see you still love to play the music that you had such a big part of for so many years.
Eric Gillette is just amazing!!
