the crowds want to bang their heads with the groove of the music, but the time signatures of the piece are so oddly and beautifully arranged that they are left with no options but just staring with their mouths open....and enjoy the masters at work...
pl jb maybe I can understand if you are basing that comment on just this video, but if you think no DT is good to listen to, then are you dismissing Nightmare to Remember, Metropolis part 1, Octavarium, As I Am, The Bigger Picture? Or even the more accessible stuff like Wither, Peruvian Skies, I Walk Beside You, On the Backs of Angels? And if so, then, what are you doing here on a DT video? 😀
@@i_am_well to be fair its the food poisoning the could have caused a bit of damage, his vocal habits during his younger days were terrible, the wear and strain it put s on the vocal chords can cause him to have a shit voice
@@dingdongs5208 but the damage was done, he got the poisoning in December 93-94, and the doctor told him he would need to stay out of singing for 6 months. In January, the next month, he was in Japan singing again, and that just worsened his condition over the years
They could have asked for support during this six month period and I bet there was some good backup/temporary replacements for LaBrie in that time. I feel like there's a lot they could and would have done to avoid LaBrie's loss in vocal quality/range after the incident. Biggest problem was probably LaBrie himself and his ego.
Portnoy might have technically less chops but he would write music that moved based on his chops. The quick parts were a burst of emotion and creativity, not an opportunity to prove how fast you can do a one handed single stroke roll
As a none pro musician, a just love to play instruments(guitar for me) and loves music and also a fan of dreamtheater, this gives me a 50/50, 50% of enjoying their music for how technical and progressive it was, and 50% for kinda depressing and have anxiety feels because of how i suck playing it😑😂
I agree...this mike mangini's drum lines is much much better than portnoy's version...so techical..he adds more notes but still sound not overfill...I think portnoy era is over...he is the best and suit for this band...for the next many album to come..mangini will make DT song more alive with his beat and techniques
@@marshaltito7369 No, technique in drumming has to do with visual more than the music. Mangini plays left and right handed, meaningless to the music. Visually is a different matter. A professional drummer is suppose to play the music and play the instrument clear and even. A one handed drum roll is a technique for visual and soloing. Playing the hi hat right handed then left handed is a visual technique, not a musicality. If so, every top drummer would be doing it. So now it would be said that if Mangini was out, Portnoy could fill in but the music would sound like shit because he doesn't have the technique of Mangini, now that is funny.
@@kcorpora1 1. Mangini plays with both his left and right hand on the hi hat because he doesn't follow traditional drumming, watch the video on his drum rig. 2. A single hand playing 16th notes is going to have a different feeling than using 2, Neil played 16th notes on the hi hat with 1 hand on Tom Sawyer and it has a tighter and way different feeling. 3. Playing left handed on the hi hat gives you different opportunies but you wouldn't have guessed that because youre not a drummer. 4. Technique is important because if you don't have technique trying to play something its going to sound sloppy.
He always looks like a bum. I know the others wear just jeans and a t-shirt too, but he looks dirty. They should dress better on stage, and especially in videos. They want to be so theatrical and put on a big show, dress the part better.
Honestly if this video had no sound the concert would look boring because they're just standing still and looking really uninterested but with sound you realize they just have to focus so much on these damn time signatures
Please don't misunderstand my comments: Petrucci, Myung, Rudess, and Mangini (Portnoy too) are some of the most accomplished musicians on the entire planet. I respect their talents enormously. As far as I can tell, Portnoy decided to leave DT because he just wanted a break from doing the same music time and again for over twenty-five years. Paraphrasing Chick Corea "... listen to the music. Don't count it out. Don't listen for the chord changes. Just listen..." DT's music doesn't engage me like it used to. For me, this clip feels similar to the Rush 'Clockwork Angels' tour. When you're an aging rock band playing with a symphony orchestra, it's time to figure out something else. In a sad sort of way, I'm glad Rush is no longer performing. I hope DT finds their golden sunset.
Almost 10 years and they are still crying on a guy who decide to leave the band. I love Portnoy era and he is one of the best drummers who ever lived but for all those guys, you only have one point of comparison: Mangini on Portnoy's shoes (or sticks). I wonder how Portnoy would sound playing The Enemy Inside for example. Will we ever see Portnoy playing the Mangini drum parts of Dream Theater songs?
For me at least is more about the feel, Mangini sounds like a drum machine, Portnoy's style was More loose, he complemented the rest of the band while showing off His skills, without interrupting the flow of the song. When Mangini does it it just sounds weird. Take the ending of Finally Free as a example
To be honest, I don't play drums and I don't understand many technical details about the instrument. But I understand the discussion in guitar terms, like comparing Marty Friedman and Chris Broderick in Megadeth. Chris is way more technical guitarist but Marty's work is the most notable in the band's history.
I m a drummer and believe it or not i have learned drumming from watching Mike Portnoy’s video clips from CD’s back in 1999. The guy is a legend. Mangini is also a phenomenal drummer. I am just glad DT is still around and we get to listen to these amazing group of people.
I went to this tour and couldn't work out why it was low energy compared to previous shows I'd attended of theirs. Turns out that Portnoy was the band's frontman/leader. Mangini is following the rest of the band here, which sounds odd.
Don’t understand the Portnoy comments. Portnoy would get lit up by Mangini in a drum battle. Don’t believe me? Watch Portnoy in a drum duo with Billy Rymer from Dillinger Escape Plan. Search it on UA-cam. Portnoy gets surprised by Billy, for sure. Portnoy is amazing, but Mangini is technically superior without question.
What does being more technical have to do with delivering music. Mangini does one handed shit that is only admired as showman ship. Portnoy played the DT music and played it excellent. A drum battle lol, that is worthless. Execution off the music is what is important. Mangini could beat many drummers that a musically better than him. The best drummers are not working on one handed rolls, playing 2 times faster than the music, and playing ambidextrous. Musically Chambers, Vinnie, Steve Smith fir example blows Mangini away musically. They are not working on playing with their toes. If it was important they would do it. Mangini is fantastic but stop with this more technical shit. What, Portnoy misses beats or something so he is less technical lol?
Technically mangini can be replace by computer software, or even an apps, is hard to find soulfull, fun and easygoing person like portnoy, its just like picking real flesh and bone person as wife over robotic sex machine....music is all about feeling and soul, skill is tools for implementing creativity and arts not the other way arround...
Most people find Mangini's drumming as soulless and not musical. That is not really the case. It seems that way because of his drum arrangement and how he uses his hands. When you watch it, it looks boring. It's a little bit different when you just listen to it. Portnoy's drumming is flashy and lively. Both of them can create wonderful musical piece. Best way to appreciate is just listen and not "watch" both of them are really proficient.
Portnoy an mangini both great drummers but portnoy is to DT what Bonham was to zep because of there musical bond with there guitar players petrucci says as much in interviews an just check out there new song terminal velocity it's like they never been apart
I'm still pretty much sure that Marco Minneman's rehearsal performance of 'Dance of Eternity' in his tiny little practice studio is one of the best covers (ua-cam.com/video/X47bCUsolII/v-deo.html). Don't forget Mike Portnoy counting out from the song chart (ua-cam.com/video/vswDu3IlUbg/v-deo.html)

Lyrics: “(I have the best hair style in the band)”
They play this song every time James need to take a dump during the show
"Alright, guys. I gotta drop the kids off at the pool. Extend the solos a bit, I feel like I'm dropping more kids off than usual!"
James : "Guys, nature calls, can u play dance of eternity?"
Other : "But it's not on the list"
James : "Make it."
This is def a bathroom song.
james who? james bond?
@@jovanblacevic6470 James labrie (lead singer)
let's just say the conductor needs some more recognition for conducting the whole song without any hiccups
the crowds want to bang their heads with the groove of the music, but the time signatures of the piece are so oddly and beautifully arranged that they are left with no options but just staring with their mouths open....and enjoy the masters at work...
I hope the orchestra group enjoyed the Dream Theater concert, I just wonder why they all brought their instruments.
You obviously didn't watch the whole concert
@@palonazo whoooosh
@@obrunodamacena There was a joke in there?
@@palonazo yes, in ur reply

Regardless of all other comments, everyone has to admit these four guys are unbelievably talented musicians.
gcdiver definitely! Just not fun to listen to.
@@OtisAvalon or see live, holy. It's like they are low on iron or lacking vitamins.
They are technicly extraordinary musician, but this is so robotic and boring imo
No question

You'll never be ripped off seeing DT live even if it's just 6 minutes
To every musician, this song is called "You suck".
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
lyrics by: John Myung
Except for Symphony X, Tool and Opeth
😂😂😂
I wish labrie could keep up this level of performance through all their shows
I feel you... Still he does a great work, specially considering the food poisoning thats almost destroyed his voice for good
@@i_am_well to be fair its the food poisoning the could have caused a bit of damage, his vocal habits during his younger days were terrible, the wear and strain it put s on the vocal chords can cause him to have a shit voice
@@dingdongs5208 Yup! Considering that He still capable to sing, wouldn't hurt to take some lessons and improve range and maybe, bring something new.

That sync between Myung and Petrucci... Amazing!!! Beautifully made.
This whole recording would've been even better if we can actually hear the orchestra..
you know a band is good when they can turn the whole orchestra in dejent mode
The drums sound fucking fantastic, possibly best I've ever heard.
Mike Mangini is great.. amazing performance
portnoy the best
Mangini amazing player. One of the best ever👍👍
I've listened them for years and l haven't a clue how this is possible to write such stuff. Just amazing.
21 год у меня останавливается дыхание, когда мовшу этот шедевр. Знаю этих парней с 1997 года!!!
Great Live.Amazing Performance.
amazing performance
Jhon myung is so cool man 😍🎸✌❤
Mr Mike.Mangini so good 👍
Mixdown simply amazing what a balance
SUCH A GREAT BAND
una delas bandas mas perfectas con los mejores musicos
Very synchronize ,, every touch of yours is perfect 👍
top notch musicians
Waaooww...very nice...love it.
Mike Mangini just makes this song look like it never was difficult at all.
He’s sloppy
Portnoy might have technically less chops but he would write music that moved based on his chops. The quick parts were a burst of emotion and creativity, not an opportunity to prove how fast you can do a one handed single stroke roll
@@scylla4342 he's actually the opposite and too drum machine like and robotic.
Mancini plays the parts the parts he wrote miles better than portnoys part which is logical
@@ciscoak9074 I love how Magnini haters can’t even agree on why to hate him, they hate him just because and don’t even know why
Bass sweep !! 🤯
ottimo lavoro!
As a none pro musician, a just love to play instruments(guitar for me) and loves music and also a fan of dreamtheater, this gives me a 50/50, 50% of enjoying their music for how technical and progressive it was, and 50% for kinda depressing and have anxiety feels because of how i suck playing it😑😂
I've been playing guitar for two years and I feel the same way about the second 50%
Nic Carney i can feel you bruh.
AMAZING !!!
Mike Mangini, doing everything opposite and making the parts 10 times harder and still not breaking a sweat.
I agree...this mike mangini's drum lines is much much better than portnoy's version...so techical..he adds more notes but still sound not overfill...I think portnoy era is over...he is the best and suit for this band...for the next many album to come..mangini will make DT song more alive with his beat and techniques
@@jasaprofesi321 What does technique have to with music?
@@kcorpora1 a lot more than you'd think, but people mostly look at technique as a part of Musicianship rather than music as a whole.
@@marshaltito7369 No, technique in drumming has to do with visual more than the music. Mangini plays left and right handed, meaningless to the music. Visually is a different matter.

The BEST performance of Labrie's
🤣🤣🤣
Kkkkkkkkkk
He nailed the vocals here
Fantastic!!!
Mike stepping up and killing it 👏 🙌
I love how Jordan is so calm that he can scratch his nose at 4:11 ish
His 1000th time playing no doubt. :)
He always looks like a bum. I know the others wear just jeans and a t-shirt too, but he looks dirty. They should dress better on stage, and especially in videos. They want to be so theatrical and put on a big show, dress the part better.
@@maryjohnson5377 u gae
Awesome 👏👏
I love Petrucci and Myung doing the breakdown together
Good Mike!, you're hired XD
Wow, awesome!!!
That is just a mind-bogglingly amazing piece of music. As technically good as you could possibly get as a human, basically.
Охрененно!
Best youtube channel.
i like to listen music in speakers,but i put my headphones and it's clear why Mangini is a beast
best band in the world...ever😀
4:24 the orchestra director is a metal head
John Myung is the coolest dude on the planet
i loved the simple part
Martti Šorin so you hated the whole song
Best bass player in my opinion
You all got any more of them time signature changes? Love it!
One of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. 🥁 🎸 🎹
This song just only in 6 min, but containing 'punch line' during the beginning to the end.. and my brain feels it plays like arround 12 min
Mike mangini is a beast... but still everybody miss Portnoy
What a nightmare to remember for the orchestra to play in so many time signatures lmao
Mangini is absolute perfection...... my god
one of labrie's best performance.
Honestly if this video had no sound the concert would look boring because they're just standing still and looking really uninterested but with sound you realize they just have to focus so much on these damn time signatures
and all the notes they have to play, and they almost make it look like it's no problem at all.
Mangini looks like some guy in a wig. 😁
@@justme-qt3dg Who said he didn't have talent? Did someone drop an anvil on your soft spot when you were little?
lmaoook
Perfomance Car Maniac k, still looks like a talented drummer with a wig on though
Why was their an accompaniment when all you could hear was DT?
Good question
probably an issue with the post production mixing. I'd imagine they were more audible in person but even then they were just background for this song
Best
Man that look of Myung to Petrucci at 3:30 was the "time to show off look"!!! Epic
John's not even looking at his guitar!!!! Incredible!!!!!
Learning to play this is way too far, I'm even finding it difficult to listen to it 😭😂
Ο Χριστός και η Παναγία !!!
Ka en kham theilo kei Mizopa hian
These guys should be in a band or in something like that.
I love the lyrics
Musician’s musicians they are
Good
no word to say
One thing for certain, I don’t ever want to meet the boss this music is for .
Mangini's drums sound incredible
When I have 50 grand to spare I'm getting me some Pearl drums 🤓🥁
There's a huge difference between MM's arrengement in 3:51 vs MP's insane original part ua-cam.com/video/PfydR1CQ76k/v-deo.html (3:43)
I heard Mike Mangini's drum tech is a giraffe...must get pretty expensive come dinner time!
That's another way to fill an otherwise empty room: Just hire a choir and an orchestra to stand and sit there and pretend to play long.
Gamay ! . . . και δέρνει ! 😎🤘

First time this song made me sleepy. -_-
SAME!!!!!
Same and is sad!
Sad but true!
why?

This type of music is a kind of piece that you should stay focus at all times or else you'll be kicked out from its time signature and tempo..
It's not so complicated... now watch a Snarky Puppy gig.
