This is Dream Theater at their peak. I’ve seen them live 15 times. Nothing like this tour. This is when they looked better, sounded better, singed better, in perfect harmony. Good times.
storeeteller1 Man... Train of Thought is one of the more popular (and the most loved by metalfans) DT albums. As I am is played in any concert nowdays. This Dying Soul and In the Name of God are two of the best songs of this band. Great album very aprecciated.
I’d say When Dream And Day Unite is their most underrated. Such a greatly composed album that really captured their songwriting capabilities at that point in time. But of course Falling Into Infinity would be #2 most understand DT albums.
I'd say they just screwed a little bit the first two songs. Coming out of Awake / ACoS and jumping into New Millennium + You Not Me was maybe a bit disappointing, but the album has those hits... ❤️💥
One of their greatest tracks. I'm probably in the minority of DT fans, but I loved Falling Into Infinity. It has at least three of their best ever compositions IMHO.
New Millenium, Peruvian Skies, Lines in the Sand and Trial of Tears are the songs on that album that I come back to the most, as they're probably the proggiest on it.
Falling into Infinity is some of their best work IMO. I’m a huge Petrucci fan and his tone was sooooooo damn good then. Its one of their hidden gems for sure.
Finally, somebody said it. I can literally sing the entire parts on guitar (lead & bass), and despite being a lead guitarist myself, I feel Mr. Myung is the heart of this song.
The version from Boston Opera House was cool but it was not even close to this one. It's been over 10 years and it's still one the best live performances ever, the whole concert was but this song was the highest point of it in my opinion. So fuckin' perfect!!!!
Dude.. totally agree!!!.. I actually came to this one right after the Boston opera version. Didn't like the bass mix, love it on this one... Best version of this song live... Bar none!!!
Prog metal definitely not but I would say Rush gets them in the prog rock category. Rush essentially set the stage for DT to come along with their insane music
don't get me wrong but portnoy was Alot more feel and groove oriented than mangini is ... songs like this are played with so much feel.. which doesn't mean that mangini is lesser of a drummer but iron Mike portnoy was such a huge part of the groove in dream theater
+jeff cordova Man I have got to agree with you. Have you already seen this song in their new Dvd with Mangini on Drums? There you can see how better Portnoy is. He plays like he feels the song and more groove oriented as you said. I hope seeing him again in DT.
Mmm, I'd say it does mean Mangini is lesser of a drummer. Portnoy nailed it in every area. Is Mangini maybe a little bit faster? Maybe, but when you're as technically skilled as either of these guys it's like saying "Well Russia has 13,000 nukes and the US only has like 9,000" ... it doesn't really matter at that level. Portnoy is better at everything else.
@@stephenm.1988 oh please, you dont get to decide that. Imo Mangini has lots of feel. I would have loved for Portnoy to have stayed with Dream Theater purely because of the reason that he is a very good writer, which is the only thing i believe that DT lost when Portnoy left, which is a good writer.
+armando cardenas I don't know the first thing about drumming so won't get into the Portnoy/Mangini argument but I have to say that Portnoy provided a "stage presence" that is sadly lacking these days
I'm smoking a cigg at work which I rarely do but it's raining not heavily like it usually does but listening to this while watching the rain fall down ....makes you really appreciate the beauty of life & the magic music captures...."I may have wasted all those years, but their worth their time in tears, I may have spent too long in darkness in the warmth of my fears" words i live by ...
Dream theater is my favourite band of all times and i have to say even when this song is always great, definitely this is the best live version of this song so far
This is one of those cases where the live version sounds better than the studio one. The transition from the climatic intensity of the end of the keyboard solo to the quiet ending part gives, and will always give me, chills every single time I hear it. So much better than than how the studio version sounds.
Cool how Dream Theater has gone from hair to no hair to BIG hair, to blue hair..to new members and has been always awesome. The only outlier is John Myung. He's always been awesome and has not ever changed his appearance.
Phenomenal song, and great performance. Apparently from what I have heard, this song is part of the setlist for their Along for the Ride Tour. Can't wait to see them again and hear this song live for the first time (assuming they don't change up the setlist)
He repasado 7 discos the dream theater buscando esta canción por dios. He tenido esta melodía, esta entradilla 01:27 en la cabeza dándome vueltas durante casi una seman. ¡Por fin! --- I´ve gone over 7 albums looking for this song, omg. Had this melody 01:27 calling me loud for almost a week now. Finally!
The solo is influenced a lot by that of 'in the dead of night'' by the british prog rock band with the name UK. All I hear is "Holdsworthian" lines. Great song, amazing solo by Petrucci, paying tribute to the one and only Allan Holdsworth.
I missed IAW tour. I was ready for Awake tour. Had the cassette in for months. Was just amazed..Awake has great drumming. I was huge fan saw every tour..until MP decided to quit.. He made the decision..im sure there is regrets.. I was little pissed . Avenge 7 fold really? .. Mike does some amazing drums..On John Arch first solo called Relentless also Fateswarings Jim Matheos on guitar ... and ass kicking Bassist Joey Vera..Armored Saint long time member. Also Engine Bassist with vox by Ray Balderrama , Guitar Virtuoso Bernie Versailles
Millosh- I never thought of that one, but you're right. For me the intro reminds me a little bit of Shine On... by Pink Floyd, especially the live version from a Delicate Sound of Thunder. Cheers!
Both the intro and the ending where clearly inspired by Rush's Xanadu. But the bass line during the solo reminds me of Heart of the Sunrise as well, even though, because of the long pauses Petrucci does in his solo, UK's In the Dead of Night is what usually comes to mind when I hear it.
@jeroginaca music for all kind of people is made nowadays by Killers, 30 Seconds to mars etc etc !! Progressive is one unique kind of music, as many others! I don't personally comment badly other kinds of music, as also the artists! And as for the "they play well" let those who DO know about music judge it!!
Everytime when we compare Mangini to Portnoy , let's not bash Mangini . He is doing his best in his life and he does with full dedication. Portnoy and Mangini are associated with DT forever but they two are two different talents. While auditioning, Mangini Clearly said that he is not here to replace any one. He wants to show his own talent and do what he's best at. Mangini's playing style might not please your ears always. That's what the thing is. No two people can sing or play alike. Let's praise him for doing his job with DT instead of bashing him.
Wow... that's strange... dude, this song is just awesome. I'm not just a DT fan, I love all the good music I can hear/get. BUT, how can DT not be really good music? They are very talented musicians, they make complex music that requires a great skill to understand and to play...

This is Dream Theater at their peak. I’ve seen them live 15 times. Nothing like this tour. This is when they looked better, sounded better, singed better, in perfect harmony. Good times.
15 times? Holy fuc
15 times? Damn lucky. Been a fan since mid 00s and my first would be last year but got robbed by Covid.
Absolutely agree 100% This is peak Dream Theater.
Seeing them play the entire Metropolis Pt 2 and Images and Words albums live is hard to beat tbh
I don't understand people who say they're washed now. They sound fantastic.
The bass is so prominent in the mix; to which I give great approval.
+Jordan Shepherd This is a John Myung song, you know hahaha
Sonic Salies I didn’t know thank you! Oh I love this guy’s playing
Awesome bass lines
John Myung, the hardest working progressive bassist out there!
A little too prominent during the guitar solo tbh
Most underrated DT album. I love it.
crazy album! reminds me of Liquid Tension.
storeeteller1 Man... Train of Thought is one of the more popular (and the most loved by metalfans) DT albums.
As I am is played in any concert nowdays. This Dying Soul and In the Name of God are two of the best songs of this band.
Great album very aprecciated.
but the best part? all kinds of fans love DT :D
I’d say When Dream And Day Unite is their most underrated. Such a greatly composed album that really captured their songwriting capabilities at that point in time. But of course Falling Into Infinity would be #2 most understand DT albums.
I'd say they just screwed a little bit the first two songs. Coming out of Awake / ACoS and jumping into New Millennium + You Not Me was maybe a bit disappointing, but the album has those hits... ❤️💥
One of their greatest tracks. I'm probably in the minority of DT fans, but I loved Falling Into Infinity. It has at least three of their best ever compositions IMHO.
New Millennium, Peruvian skies, Hell's Kitchen, Hollow Years, Trial of Tears, Lines in the Sand
@@malawigw correct, with Lines in the Sand being my favourite. It's actually in my top five DT tracks ever.
I prefer FII over SFAM, I might be in a very small minority.
New Millenium, Peruvian Skies, Lines in the Sand and Trial of Tears are the songs on that album that I come back to the most, as they're probably the proggiest on it.
Falling into Infinity is some of their best work IMO. I’m a huge Petrucci fan and his tone was sooooooo damn good then. Its one of their hidden gems for sure.
One of Labrie's better performances. This guy can be amazing on a good night.
on point.
Man whenever John Myung wrote a song, it's always so good and underrated.
Myung's lines at 12:33-12:44 are just sick.
Finally, somebody said it. I can literally sing the entire parts on guitar (lead & bass), and despite being a lead guitarist myself, I feel Mr. Myung is the heart of this song.
Vivek Viswanath I mean Myung is the master of all bass techniques. He can play anything!
Definitely agree!
What about Swahili tribal rain dance bass?
i think trial of tears is about john myung travelling to new york city
The version from Boston Opera House was cool but it was not even close to this one. It's been over 10 years and it's still one the best live performances ever, the whole concert was but this song was the highest point of it in my opinion. So fuckin' perfect!!!!
Agree. Just come back to it today for a listen and its definitely the stand out for me off any of their DVD's
Dude.. totally agree!!!.. I actually came to this one right after the Boston opera version. Didn't like the bass mix, love it on this one... Best version of this song live... Bar none!!!
This one's my favorite, because it's with Mike Portnoy !
Couldn't agree more with the OP. Best song, best live performance, just amazing.
The version of Opera Boston is bullshit.
In the arena of prog rock/metal there is absolutely no one who can touch these guys. Fan when I was 12, fan when I die!
Prog metal definitely not but I would say Rush gets them in the prog rock category. Rush essentially set the stage for DT to come along with their insane music
@@bifftop_johnny I would say in the prog metal arena there are people who get close. Haken and between the buried and me for example
@@renzo3939 not even close my dude
Ryan super what about opeth
@@gareginasatryan6761 no way... Opeth...

It's because mike mangini is so very technical drummer and he has no feel of music because of his technicality.....Portnoy is a king of feel
Mmm, I'd say it does mean Mangini is lesser of a drummer. Portnoy nailed it in every area. Is Mangini maybe a little bit faster? Maybe, but when you're as technically skilled as either of these guys it's like saying "Well Russia has 13,000 nukes and the US only has like 9,000" ... it doesn't really matter at that level.

Portnoy has the ability not only to play technical, but also to make technical music sound groovy in some weird way
I haven't seen anybody play and enjoy himself while playing like Mike Portnoy ..... ever .
+armando cardenas Keith Moon?
+armando cardenas Marco Minnemann...
+armando cardenas Minnemann is the king of enjoying shit
+armando cardenas me niether, minnemannn enjoy a lot, but portnoy.....it's like he has a special magic, i don't know how to discribe it
+armando cardenas I don't know the first thing about drumming so won't get into the Portnoy/Mangini argument but I have to say that Portnoy provided a "stage presence" that is sadly lacking these days
That vocal triad at 4:37 is awesome
The section and solo starting at 7:00 is a huge nod to In the Dead of Night by UK with the legendary solo by Allan Holdsworth
Have you heard the youtube bootleg of a cover DT did of that tune? It's alright, though I surprisingly prefer the Yngwie Malmsteen band cover
One of the best solos of all time
"but I'll enjoy the ride today" damn those lyrics are beautiful, they should let Myung write more songs
I wish I could have seen them on this tour. My first DT show was in 2007, Chaos in Motion tour, 4th row in Chicago. Was an unbelievable time!
DT is just for people who can apreciate good music. People who can't just get bored.
I wish Myung had soloed more often!
lets not Forget the amazing intros in Voices and Scarred, i love both those bass lines
storeeteller1 he only write 7 songs with bass solo....he needs to solo more often just like petrucci
@storeeteller1 bass intro = solo?😂
Their debut album has a bass solo every other song.
I was high while watching this and I can now say that I saw them as what they really are. True Gods of music. I feel hapy just hapy.
@Nate Higgers beyond this life is from metropolis bro🌷
Guitar solo is so great!
I'm smoking a cigg at work which I rarely do but it's raining not heavily like it usually does but listening to this while watching the rain fall down ....makes you really appreciate the beauty of life & the magic music captures...."I may have wasted all those years, but their worth their time in tears, I may have spent too long in darkness in the warmth of my fears" words i live by ...
Dream theater is my favourite band of all times and i have to say even when this song is always great, definitely this is the best live version of this song so far
Wow ive been listening to this band for what like 10 years and i just now realized its Trial Of Tears instead of Trail of Tears
This is one of those cases where the live version sounds better than the studio one.
The transition from the climatic intensity of the end of the keyboard solo to the quiet ending part gives, and will always give me, chills every single time I hear it. So much better than than how the studio version sounds.

it was amazing i can tell you that!
***** o i know it was so fucking amazing!
Best version of this song by far. This concert was epic.
Oh my god, James Labrie ladies and gentelman!!!
He repasado 7 discos the dream theater buscando esta canción por dios.
He tenido esta melodía, esta entradilla 01:27 en la cabeza dándome vueltas durante casi una seman.
¡Por fin!
---
I´ve gone over 7 albums looking for this song, omg.
Had this melody 01:27 calling me loud for almost a week now.
Finally!
Oh God, this is a masterpiece! From A to Z, jut perfection and passion!
I think Dream heater is the epitome of music. Happy Transcendence everybody
Ao vivo não tem pra bater esses músicos. Show de técnica. Incrível!!!!
Fucking monstersolo!! The way it builds up from the calm and beautiful to the insane and beastly... Such an amaaazing piece!
Dream Theater during their peak were the most underrated band ever.
You made my day. No matter what day it was!
12:20
Beautiful melody by John Myung
Dream Theater are absolutly great musicians!
simply perfect, by far my favorite Song from these Gods.
Just join the atmosphere after 10:25 ... wonderful
This is song is good reminder for self reflection and losing stress, thx Dream Theater.....
This is one of those perfect songs where chords, melody, lyrics and dynamics come together to create music of extraordinary depth and technique.
Petrucci looks great with short hair, and his playing is astounding of course ;-)
The solo is influenced a lot by that of 'in the dead of night'' by the british prog rock band with the name UK. All I hear is "Holdsworthian" lines. Great song, amazing solo by Petrucci, paying tribute to the one and only Allan Holdsworth.
Xanadu? Jeje vaya influencia
So beautiful !
Mike Portnoy in the Drums , is the best ! John Myung in the bass, perfect sound ! Greetings from Brazil ! Watching in December 2019
October 2020!! 🇧🇷
God bless you guys that put HD movies of DT.

Gotta love that bass!
00:00 a 13:54 HERMOSO, PERFECTO, IMPOSIBLE, MAS ALLA DE ESTA VIDA, MUSICA PARA EL ALMA. Nada me toca el corazon como la musica de DT
I still wonder how it is humanly possible to pull out such an emotional and deep solo ... I feel it threw my fucking my fucking bones
Thank You...
Definitely one of their best performances and tracks. For me this version is miles better than the original its so much more punchy
Magistral, Increíble, Sagrado!!!!!!!!!!!
Non ho più parole per definire questa meravigliosa band......
That intro, sublime.
Xanadu + Mystic Rhythms + DT madness!
You guys are great!
in some ways, better than the studio version
excelente tema
MINDBLOWN
Yep and the section with JP's solo reminds me of UK's "In The Dead of Night".
That bass 2:39
Best song from "Falling..."
oooh dude, thank you very much !!!
Best intro/outro ever..
The best song..
Perfect execution of the lydian mode here with that guitar intro. Very nice!
Lagu DT yang termasuk terbaik yang saya suka i love Dream Theater
Hello !
I'm from indonesian🤘
Sama mas
Nice Music..
James Labrie 👏👏👏
This song is a prog masterpiece when my dad first played me this I could figure out how someone could play drums like that
I missed IAW tour. I was ready for Awake tour. Had the cassette in for months. Was just amazed..Awake has great drumming. I was huge fan saw every tour..until MP decided to quit.. He made the decision..im sure there is regrets.. I was little pissed . Avenge 7 fold really? ..
Mike does some amazing drums..On John Arch first solo called Relentless also Fateswarings Jim Matheos on guitar ... and ass kicking Bassist Joey Vera..Armored Saint long time member. Also Engine Bassist with vox by Ray Balderrama , Guitar Virtuoso Bernie Versailles
Trial of Tears ist und bleibt ein progr. Meisterwerk in einer hier live perfekten Besetzung.
Yeah…. WOW… just WOW…
um salve para melhor banda ever!
better than studio ver. im sorry for that Derek Sherinian quit DT before he shows his talent.. (maybe he is the best keyboardist ever)
If I recall, Derek was fired by the band because they wanted to take a different musical direction
@@malawigw Technically. He doesn't come close to Kevin when it comes to creativity.
now you can say lyrics by myung
2020 WOW!!!!
Whenever I hear this song Heart of the Sunrise by Yes appears in my mind
Millosh- I never thought of that one, but you're right. For me the intro reminds me a little bit of Shine On... by Pink Floyd, especially the live version from a Delicate Sound of Thunder.

11:42 through 12:39 = goosebumps
OMG That BASSS
When Dream Theater were still Dream Theater :-)
A Dream nowdays
When still they were doing super cool stuff hard to reproduce live
Großartig, unerreicht !!!
Such a dream-like intro! Fucking love it!
8:48 Best Part Portnoy Percussions
Incredibly Dream Theater's any-album is their best album.
@jeroginaca music for all kind of people is made nowadays by Killers, 30 Seconds to mars etc etc !! Progressive is one unique kind of music, as many others!

Syahdu
DT in Brazil again!
Which scale is Petrucci primarily using? It sounds so incredible.
The ultra scale of death.
God scale
Sounds like dorian to me, but it is about how you use it not what scale you use
how we are all young there
Wow... that's strange... dude, this song is just awesome. I'm not just a DT fan, I love all the good music I can hear/get. BUT, how can DT not be really good music? They are very talented musicians, they make complex music that requires a great skill to understand and to play...
Oh Dream Theater, why so fucking perfect... Sometimes I really can't get it... :) AWESOME!!!
