Portnoy returns and makes a New DVD with tcot as outro of the night with orchestra behind them, and in a big stage with dancers and ballets complimenting the song .. a dream.
@@Marifet124 Just a question: In your opinion is the "new" drummer (Mike Mangini) objectively worse than portnoy (worse enough to warrant a dislike at least), or is it just different sounds.
Even with all of the amazing stuff that he has played throughout his career, I feel that this song has Jordan's finest keyboard work. It's such a shame that it's so buried in the mix because this is truly breathtaking.
Joe Romano That's why I'm glad they released the instrument stems as a bonus. I wish they'd do it for every album! If you're not happy with the mix on the album you can mix it to your heart's content.
zabunia It was nice having the tracks. I've always disliked the mixing that Dream Theater does - especially them always drowning out John Myung's bass.
amazing how every instrument by itself are so powerfull on expression and sound that drags you INTO the vibe of the song by themselves...and when all combined they sound like the epic masterpiece the song is.
Ohh rubbish you kids! Music was never a thing of how fast you play with circus sounds. I think who ever likes Moore better, realizes that technically Jordan is untouchable, it was always about the musical maturity. Imagine how young Kevin was ( and other guys too ) when they did Images and Words and how mature the song writing in it is.
bald fucking smurf more like. he was part of the conspiracy to oust portnoy, the face of the band, so he can fuck off just as any other assclown in fake theater, including mangina
Oh, my God!!! I love this song and definitely LOVED!!! this keyboards only version! Does anyone know where can I get the BCASL producers edition? If possible? Man this makes me so proud to be a musician and even prouder to be a keyboardist! Thanks for uploading this!
yup! to reproduce that sound I just split the keyboard into two channels, so that you can play the two parts which are mostly at the same height! then I think it's just all about the player's taste to reproduce the sound with what you have in your keyboard or in your software...

I don't know, but I think it's quite hard to reproduce that on the iphon or ipad, so you need to have a full keyboard, a good synth and a bit of time to rebuild that sound! usually he makes his sound on the keyboard by using more sound layers, obtaining cool effects like that one
now I have not the entire cd with me since I left it at my house and I study and live in another city, but when I get to go back I will take it and try uploading it! dunno how much it willa take though
Dude, where did you get this? I saw that you also uploaded a guitar stem of Rite of Passage on your channel.. :) I'm very itnterested specifically in Nightmare to Remember, if you have it, please upload it :)
Man... you're right. I've started learning to play this bit I'm so bad that I had to listen to it quite a few times, even slowing it down. Still, I could not hear the drum but now as you pointed it out it is quite clearly there! Magic! :)
@@djorlando57 ahh man thanks for bringing me here again. This song was everything to me when I discovered it at 17 years old. Now i'm 23 and I'm still in love with it and with Rudess' output on it. Ahh, so many good memories come to me with these sounds.
There is a video, jordan posted it himself, it shows his keyboard screen sometime in the video, maybe it will help on producing the sound, or whatever. Its called Tuscany practice continued and is posted my JCRUDESS
Yeah I know. He layers so many sounds in one, he's a fucking genius. And now that I listen to this again you can almost hear a Tabla sounding drum in the background if you listen closely.
Neither can I! :D That's why I tend to stick with his work with DT/LTE. When he plays the acoustic piano I get lost in seconds. I'd probably need a few years of classical music training just to enjoy it properly. :)
rudess is so awesome that he can play this without touching the keyboard and staying completly still pointing at the camera
He isnt even looking the keyboard uwu
Haters will say it's just a picture
XD!!!! Love it!
🤣
Ahahahahahahah 😂😂😂😂 ❤
2:38 .. most wonderful harmony ever ...
+Joshua Stam Agreed. I listen to that part daily for months.
+jake rheingold hahaha same boat ... every now and then (weekly) I check on it.
Zakariah Lafreniere nope
It's really awesome!
5:54 is beautiful
17:28 makes me cry :')
Can you just imagine 17:28 played by a live orchestra and choir? THAT would be beautiful.
Portnoy returns and makes a New DVD with tcot as outro of the night with orchestra behind them, and in a big stage with dancers and ballets complimenting the song .. a dream.
@@Marifet124 Just a question: In your opinion is the "new" drummer (Mike Mangini) objectively worse than portnoy (worse enough to warrant a dislike at least), or is it just different sounds.
@@Marifet124 exactly I thought
Goosebumps everytime, and Yes, I always imagine it with a big orchestra
@@Marifet124 yes but, manginni play good this BCSL music's album
13:17 onwards sounds like leaving this mortal life behind.
Just amazing and Tuscany's outro in my opinion is the most powerful, emotional, and epic ever.
Me too
So glad to have finally seen this masterpiece live. What a moment it was to hear 17:28 in real-time
synced this up with the album version. it's amazing to hear how much better the album version could have been with louder keys
That chorus its just so tasty!!! 5:53
chills every time
@@beanman2206 sucks that you cant hear it in the song ):
17:28 make me goosebumps!!!!!
Now I see why everyone is talking about 17:28! That is absolutely amazing!
Why? It's a decent part. Fits the song. That's about it.
@@sillysausage4549 you know pretty dang well it's better than you say it is

@@zabuniawhere can I get these stems? I'm making a backing track for best of times
@cosmic_gate476 please do one of just the keys like this if you find it!!! Been checking UA-cam for months for isolated keys for Best of Times
Came here for 17:28
I cried like a baby! 17:28
The genius wizard who turned Disney into Metal!! 💓
8:49 BEEPBOOPBEEPBOOPBEEPBOOPBEEPBEEPBOOPBEEPBOOPBEEPBOOPBEEPBOOP

The 6/4 9/4 part at the middle gives me goosebumps.
amazing how every instrument by itself are so powerfull on expression and sound that drags you INTO the vibe of the song by themselves...and when all combined they sound like the epic masterpiece the song is.
2:38 ... most epic keyboard lick I have heard in a long time!
Thank you so much for uploading this!!!
Thank you so much for the upload. The orchestration at the ending is absolutely incredible, it makes my neck hairs stand!
That bit sounds so heavenly and angelic, absolutely perfect.
Of all the isolated instruments this is my favorite. Absolutely amazing!!!
It's the music to the JR boss fight
That's a precious gift!
THE GUY IS A GENIUS I CANT EVEN COMPREHEND IT
The intro and the Chorus... EPIC!
sounds amazing!
Simply Monstrous!!! I love it!!!
2022 October still lovin' it
Holy Crap! Saw all these comments about 17:28 being incredible, didnt expect half of what I got!😮
Thats the amazing Jordan Rudess for ya. He is truly one of the greatest musicians
Yeah Mr White! Yes Music!
This is insane, like always =)
That ending has all the feeling. :)
awesome, Jordan is really a wizard!!!
I can't help but laugh at all the people out there that say Kevin Moore was better than Jordan Rudess. Sorry, but Rudess is a fucking keyboard God.
TheCiscoKid2112 an apples to oranges comparison.
Zakariah Lafreniere rudess bought his own shoes
TheInceptum how?
Ohh rubbish you kids! Music was never a thing of how fast you play with circus sounds.

one of if not the best song for him of the whole discography!!
03:57 - King Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon sound. Amazing
Just love the Mellotron sound!
De principio a fin es epico!
que lindo escuchar bien el teclado con todos los detalles!!
First time I'm hearing this from the song I've been listening for years.
Love the Mellotron sounds....
This guy is BRILLIANT!!!!!
17:28 Oh my god!
17:28, goosebumps like you wouldn't believe. Wow...
Whole another dimension omg!!!!! Is there of more songs??
2:38 sounds a bit like Minecraft if you play it at .25 speed.
my master, the wizard
Amazing
Oh, my God!!! I love this song and definitely LOVED!!! this keyboards only version! Does anyone know where can I get the BCASL producers edition? If possible? Man this makes me so proud to be a musician and even prouder to be a keyboardist! Thanks for uploading this!
15:20 until the end, or 16:32 until the end is the best melody
Awesome !
2:36 amazing!
What is this sound?
The sore throat you get at 17:28.. music is a beautiful language.
yup! to reproduce that sound I just split the keyboard into two channels, so that you can play the two parts which are mostly at the same height! then I think it's just all about the player's taste to reproduce the sound with what you have in your keyboard or in your software...
17:28 What an incredible choir patch! Definitely the best part of the song.
This is really cool but fuck.. makes me REALLY want to go and listen to the full song. Too good.
17.27 spettacolareee!! ti amo totò
It seems like you're listening to a videogame soundtrack...
The pig gets real badass here... 3:49
[Verse 1]
Several years ago
In a foreign town
Far away from home
I met the Count of Tuscany
A young eccentric man
Bred from royal blood
Took me for a ride
Across the open countryside
Get into my car
Let's go for a drive
Along the way
I'll be your guide
Just step inside
Maybe you recall
A cannibal curator
A character inspired by my brother's life
Winding through the hills
The city far behind
On and on we drove
Down narrow streets and dusty roads
At last we came upon
A picturesque estate
On sprawling emerald fields
An ancient world of times gone by
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me introduce
My brother
A bearded gentleman
Historian
Sucking on his pipe
Distinguished accent
Making me uptight
No accident
[Chorus]
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place
Just doesn't feel right
I
I don't want to die
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
I want to say goodbye
This could be the last time
You see me alive
I
I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived
[Verse 2]
Would you like to see
Our secret holy place?
I come here late at night
To pray to him by candle light
Then peering through the glass
I saw with disbelief
Still dressed in royal clothes
The saint behind the altar
History recalls
During times of war
Legend has been traced
Back inside these castle walls
Where soldiers came to hide
In barrels filled with wine
Never to escape
These tombs of oak are where they died
[Pre-Chorus]
Down the cellar stairs
I disappear
Like the English heir
The end is near
Come and have a taste
A rare vintage
All the finest wines
Improve with age
[Chorus]
I want to stay alive
Everything about this place
Just doesn't feel right
I
I don't want to die
Suddenly I'm frightened for my life
I want to say goodbye
This could be the last time
You see me alive
I
I may not survive
Knew it from the moment we arrived
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Could this be the end?
Is this the way I die?
Sitting here alone
No one by my side
I don't understand
I don't feel that I deserve this
What did I do wrong?
I just don't understand
Give me one more chance
Let me please explain
It's all been circumstance
I'll tell you once again
You took me for a ride
Promising a vast adventure
Next thing that I know
I'm frightened for my life
Now wait a minute man
That's not how it is
You must be confused
That isn't who I am
Please don't be afraid
I would never try to hurt you
This is how we live
Strange although it seems
Please try to forgive
The chapel and the saint
The soldiers and the wine
The fables and the tales
All handed down through time
Of course you're free to go
Go and tell the world my story
Tell about my brother
Tell them about me
The Count of Tuscany
I don't know, but I think it's quite hard to reproduce that on the iphon or ipad, so you need to have a full keyboard, a good synth and a bit of time to rebuild that sound!
usually he makes his sound on the keyboard by using more sound layers, obtaining cool effects like that one
5:52 is the simplest and most phenomenal sound. Piano + Strings = Always sounds good. Jordan Rudess is the bestttttttttttttttttttttttttt
yeah, thats why i ment! never heard it in the studio version before
grandee jordan :D
Tears in 17:28. Genius
Sem dúvidas, essa é uma das coisas mais insanas que já ouvi. Épico!
The Deluxe version of Black Clouds And Silver Linings came with all the stems for all the songs.
hes playing with his feet on an off-camera keyboard
now I have not the entire cd with me since I left it at my house and I study and live in another city, but when I get to go back I will take it and try uploading it! dunno how much it willa take though
Dude, where did you get this? I saw that you also uploaded a guitar stem of Rite of Passage on your channel.. :) I'm very itnterested specifically in Nightmare to Remember, if you have it, please upload it :)
Man... you're right. I've started learning to play this bit I'm so bad that I had to listen to it quite a few times, even slowing it down. Still, I could not hear the drum but now as you pointed it out it is quite clearly there! Magic! :)
MAGIC
he is like hear less kirk hammet
not even close, melody and harmony on 2:37 is superb.
The sound choice is superb
Does anyone else gets chills at 9:22? I think is my favorite Rudess part.
i wanna kill somebody body in that part :V , but is really nice :P
9:22 is great Yes 👍 awesome 👏 I love the first part 9:07 and then response at 9:22
@@djorlando57 ahh man thanks for bringing me here again. This song was everything to me when I discovered it at 17 years old. Now i'm 23 and I'm still in love with it and with Rudess' output on it. Ahh, so many good memories come to me with these sounds.
It was included in a super special collectors limited edition of the album.
man, I wish he scored movies.
15:15 🎹
perfeito.
Damn this video needs more views.
There is a video, jordan posted it himself, it shows his keyboard screen sometime in the video, maybe it will help on producing the sound, or whatever. Its called Tuscany practice continued and is posted my JCRUDESS
17:28 completely caught me off guard, my body just froze!
This could be a song by itself
17:28
...
Yeah, I got the chills
Didn't realize you were an audiophile, carry on. I personally can't hear a quality difference above 128
Yeah I know. He layers so many sounds in one, he's a fucking genius. And now that I listen to this again you can almost hear a Tabla sounding drum in the background if you listen closely.
Is a beautiful present play that keyboards God Father bless you JR you are inmortal
17:28 was burried by Labrie voices ...
Me: One song one hundred sounds
Also me: Jordan Rudess
2:37 ...best part of the song
Joshua van der Stam that’s my ringtone
If you ever find a good way to get this sound, you gotta share it! :D
where can i find this kind of isolated tracks?
15:19 simple but beautiful T_____T
they really did Jordan dirty man
Neither can I! :D That's why I tend to stick with his work with DT/LTE. When he plays the acoustic piano I get lost in seconds. I'd probably need a few years of classical music training just to enjoy it properly. :)
First I thought the chorus was epic, then I heard this. This would have made it so much cooler (although it is still an awesome song.)
uhm, I think I cannot help you with that! I bought it on a store where I live.. I guess you can find it on their official store or on amazon...
