best drum solo I ever saw was Mike playing with Steve Vai on the Ultra Zone tour. He basically played a swing beat and added stuff in, but kept that swing beat going the entire time just adding more and more inbetween. So cool.
@@blackblackblackxxx Funny that you mention that because back in maybee 2002 or 2003, I saw Dream Theater in Boston and Mike Mangini joined Mike Portnoy for the drum solo too. I liked Mangini's solo with Vai because instead of making it full on show off time, he did everything with a beat. It was rather creative and unique that way
In my opinion because it's too hard...this version sound nothing like the studio version I'm serious...he skipped all the brilliant and difficult stuff (which make this track interesting to me) This was poorly played. And I have a very high opinion of Mr vai
Its hard indeed, take me a very long time too play it good... But I think that if Vai played it more he could play very better than this one... he plays tender surrender a lot and its just at same level
mike mangini makes so hard to play these song on drumms...... he plays very diferent of the album version!!! such a talented guy!!! awesome perfomance of steve vay here!! why he dont play the song any moore!!!
so it was disappointing...if you go listen mozart at the opera house you wanna hear all notes and cry of joy...the same should apply to steve vai...but nope! Much respect for him though
So glad to finally see a live version of this!
Sheer perfection, 4:50 wow and that ending, goosebumps.
Best guitar ever!
Out of this planet
I loooooove the way he wrapped up !
i saw mike mangini at the back on the drums. cant believe he once played with steve. thumbs up to both of them.

@@shred5 Portnoy can do better.
Btw, just kidding. I love Mangini just as Portnoy.

a so-spiritual song. i love it. thanx for post it.
It was about time we got a live version of this amazing song on YT. Thanks for posting, it's really great.
I apologize, I wasn't thinking. This masterpiece!
Brilliant performance!
going to see him in Cincinnati april 25th cant wait
I was there..
This is just fantastic, thanks so much for posting
MAGNIFIC!
awesome! thanks for the upload.
i agree.
Trust me, so have I!
Mangini adds so much color here it's ridiculous. My favorite period of his playing is this concert.
I don't understand why he don't play this song live anymore... Is his 3rd best song, after For the love of God and Tender Surrender.
YES!
really true!!!!!!

"THE GUITAR GOD"
Steve shortened it alot I dont know why he did that. He should've played it all, but its steal great.
dont say ''this'' , say masterpiece

Still not as good as Mike Portnoy.
Ahahahahaha just joking, mate.
can you see the drummer was MIKE MANGINI.
He didn't playe it exactly as the album
so it was disappointing...if you go listen mozart at the opera house you wanna hear all notes and cry of joy...the same should apply to steve vai...but nope! Much respect for him though
Sometimes you just improvise and follow where your heart leads your fingers. That's a real professional for you.
:D .....
Now I believe in aliens
Bakan!
