Minute 5:17, my favorite passage from the entire album - which is brilliant. Monster bass tone, with that chorus and growl, great ambience, awesome groove, and dreamy guitars. In the studio version, the interaction between the keys/piano and the guitar is awesome, and when the distorted palmute starts, it's got this shifting panning that is simply awesome.
Mr Mangini killin that "tiny" kit. I gotta say, love this drum setup. Simple. Focused. Powerful. You hear everything he plays. Hope they keep this for their tours. Please visit us in Manila, Philippines again, DT!
Seen so many good drummers live and you expect a massive kit from Mangini, best drummer I’ve ever seen live by a mile knows how to use what he’s got. He’s a magician
I think he read enough idiot armchair pro drummer complaints over the years since replacing Portnoy (and I LOVEE Portnoy's drumming) and Mangini was like "you haven't even seen nothing yet"
This epic sounds so good live! Ahh I really want to see them! Thank you for sharing. I bought the album not realizing that it was going to be one of my new favorite albums of theirs. Such an amazing DT album.
People need to lay off James. It's not his fault that his voice is in this condition and he is making the best of it. I thought this was a fantastic performance of an absolute masterpiece that I didn't realize DT were still capable of. I love this song and this album.
Would you lay off Petrucci or Rudess if every fourth note was off? I realize that voice is a particularly difficult instument to maintain, but no matter how much I love James as DT frontman, I can hardly listen to him live anymore - not even in official releasese like Distant Memories-Live or the 25th Anniversary Images show. I had to stop watching both concerts because I simply could not take it anymore. And those were official realeases AFTER they cleaned many of the major mistakes up. Once again, I don't mean to bash or offend, least of al all our favourite Pirate, but for the first time in 15 years I am seriously contemplating not watching them live once they eventually are allowed to tour back here in Germany. I think its fair to criticize, and criticism is at times hard to take, but I believe here it is warranted and justified. :-(
People who keep defending James need to understand that an explanation why a singer sounds awful isn't a reason why the listener should put up with that. If you can't do the job, switch careers or retire.
Singers of all genres and styles usually sing live slightly different from the recorded versions. Freddie Mercury did it all the time. People attack LaBrie for nothing.
@@kahfisadega6239 haha mangini bisa jadi pemeran Wiro Sableng, juga bisa jadi antagonis Wiro Sableng. Ndas2sane cocok banget kalo pake bandana gituan di kepalanya. Tapi emang sih personil DT semuanya cocok kalau didandani jadi pendekar dunia persilatan (mau model Romawi, Yunani, Inggris, Persia, bahkan tanah Jawa). Tapi maaf cocoknya jadi antagonis.
There isn't that much of a difference. Having two bass drums looks way cooler and plays ever so slightly better, but carrying them and setting them up also takes more work. Sometimes it's not worth it. Even Portnoy has played with a double pedal on occasion.
@@meshuggahman3225 yes. I was thinking in a same way but I understand after listening A Change of Seasons live in 2017, why people like that :D It's kinda classical music concert
don't think this is the singer's favorite song. It may just be me, but somehow I think James Labrie's vocals still sound a bit insecure. Soon after they have had the first 30 shows it will be gone. Still I am excited and happy that they have made a new album and that they are touring again!!! Whopppa..... DT all the way :)!!!
I don’t think is a problem with Labrie’s voice. He sounds very close to the original, but you can’t barely hear it. I think they need to focus on that, raise his microphone volume more or something else they can figure out. But I he sounds better than a few years ago.
DT ahora es un fan service de lo que fue en los ultimos 3 discos, siempre hay partes que van a lo viejo y la doña canta menos cada gira, chévere el disco.
Poxa não gostei dessa música,o dream sem Mike Portnoy ficou hiper sério,sabe sem emoção ficou muito técnico,mas a banda ainda muito top,eles tem muito para passar agora nos
Fantastic song, brilliant chorus, but unfortunately LaBries vocals are degrading badly. He simply does not match a single note correctly. Painful, compared to the incredible bandwork.
Very great performance! I enjoy it so much, the band sounds great. But bad vocals by JLB again... Always out of tune and sometimes out of sync with the rest of the band... Despite how crazy it sounds, i think he'd be better off using live pitch correctors now...
@@br767 rly? I thought he didn't lip sync, there are certainly some pre-recorded vocal parts in the background that petrucci lip-syncs to, but this.. 🤯
Hey, he's got the flu that night... stop being such obnoxious people, and there were are coming back after a two-year layoff, god. They will start to improve little by little, sometimes those things happen. And give James time and understand that a singer can't be great every night.
@@sigmatickeys Well, if that's just flu and he's getting better it's really nice. But hey, they had a 2 year break, means James had A LOT of time to rest and practice, his voice is not strained from constant touring and this is supposed to be the best condition he's in during the whole tour. We're not trying to insult James here, just all of these factors are very concerning.
Love the song, the album, LaBrie has been way worse, drums finally sound like drums, but these playbacks are unbearable to me and take me out of it every single time, like bad CGI in a movie. Also, the click is too obvious, nothing fluctuates like it should. Compare JP's solo in the middle The Count of Tuscany's in early live shows and now. He saves it because he's awesome, but you can feel the pulse is so rigid where it shouldn't be. Orchestras don't play to a click, neither should these guys. These two things are the reason I don't go see them anymore, they kill the organic nature and the live feel they need with such music, to make sure not everything is square and pure math.
The click was a very bad decision. I was shocked at how lifeless the performance was when i saw them on the dtoe tour. since then I never even considered seeing them live again.
click too obvious?... doesnt make sense.. why use click if you dont click to it?.. and what does "fluctuates like it shoud" mean?.. orchestras dont play to a click?.. whats the conductor for then?..
@@meshuggahman3225 the point is the click is rigid, a conductor is NOT rigid at all. There has to be room to breathe. A term classical musicians use for this is “rubato”, honestly it transcends just classical music though.
Mike mangini walk out the stage with boss style..
Hahahaha I was waiting till the end hoping to corroborate this comment, and hell yeah, he did!
Outstanding drummer.
@@josie1776 also a genuinely nice guy!!
James sings like an angel 🎉❤😂

One of my favourite passages from any dream theater song to this day. Its just amazing
Agree whole heartedly. 👏
I'm just curious about who created this riff but it's what made DT to have an unique style which a lot of bands get influenced by since then.
Absolutely agree
Mr Mangini killin that "tiny" kit. I gotta say, love this drum setup. Simple. Focused. Powerful. You hear everything he plays. Hope they keep this for their tours. Please visit us in Manila, Philippines again, DT!
Yes, I am thinking the same thing. I love that he scaled down
Yeahhh 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
yup , got disappointed for their April 30,2020,, already got the ticket .. but thanks i've seen them at KIA last 2017
@@TheDoneroll I was there too! Best concert money I ever spent. A Change of Seasons was a total surprise.
Definitely, the large kit was ridiculous really. I wouldn't mind if he added a second bass drum now, but it's all good ;-)
Mangini is awesome likes he always is.
Thanks for posting!
Killer bass tone.
This epic doesn't stop growing for me.
The best track on the new record by an absolute mile

The pink floyd vibes are amazing
Mangini arrebentando!
17:24 best part in this song!
19:21 Crazy kick bass the beat is so perfect, so expensive stuff like that.
7:35 great creativity from mangini
16:35 Favourite part by far
Same here, wish it was longer

agree.
Seems like an instant live classic. Whew great song, great quality recording thanks.
8:10 onwards is musically genius
nice sound recording and nice view of the whole stage ...
F'N Phenomenal !! I wish I'd gone when I had the chance! Especially, since I had this cd in my car for around 5 months at this point!
Going to see them live in less than 2 weeks! So stoked!
I never thought that Outro would be a Mangini solo lol so great!
This is unreal, lucky enough to see it live at Newcastle. Absolute goosebumps
Thanks for sharing. 🤗
Thanks for sharing. 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you bro
Awesome!!!!
Wow..great show! Thanks for sharing..😍🤩
That cello solo/clean guitar part is effin brilliant
Awesome!!! Thank you for posting this man.
Mangini is a monster, anyway thaks for upload, very good recorded bro, good job...

Best upload ever for now 🤟 thank u so much , from asia 🤭

Absolutely hated this song when I first heard. Took about a dozen listens before I actually started to enjoy it. Now I’m obsessed with it
I was actually at a Dream Theater concert

@@Newspin , 100% singers sing off the key when they are in the last songs of a two hours long concert.
LaBrie still got it. Gotta say.
Also this is my best DT live I ever watched on YT since Live at the Luna park.
Smal drumkit

Monstro demais
Ele é espertacular.
Good to see Mike got rid of the worlds most uneconomical drum set. It was a “hey look at me!” set.
crash cymbals are so quiet
hello, can someone explain how double bass with two bass drums different than one double bass with one bass drum?
There isn't that much of a difference. Having two bass drums looks way cooler and plays ever so slightly better, but carrying them and setting them up also takes more work. Sometimes it's not worth it. Even Portnoy has played with a double pedal on occasion.

@@gretschplaya Don't know. I'm referring to a Transatlantic show I've seen a video of.

Why is the crowd dead?!
theyre listening to " A View.." not Angel Of Death..
@@meshuggahman3225 yes. I was thinking in a same way but I understand after listening A Change of Seasons live in 2017, why people like that :D It's kinda classical music concert
I will always see a rock band as a rock band, never as a classical music group.
These dead crowds upset me everytime.
😂😂😂
I guess that dream theater often plays in arenas that people are sitted. So seems to be boring

Awesome guitar melodies.

This is their first time ever performing this song. The band rehearses a lot of course, but a lot of the finesse comes with live performance
No his voice is just gone. There won't be any approvement. He is through.

Why labrie have lost so much quality?
He lost his voice years ago due to an injury
Maybe it's the last song.
The first one of the concert's setlist is always better than the last one.
Any person who sings understand it.
@@josie1776 and he had a bad vocal cord injury, which he has gotten a lot better from since imo

What a horrible, horrible singer. JL sounds worse than ever, no wonder nobody's responding to it.
@@jamesbargar3375 Lol. Ah come on man, he’s rusty. Give him a chance. I saw him in Montreal and he was really good. It depends on the night.
