      1992 - 1996 was peak Dream Theater. Hearing "Pull Me Under" for the first time on the radio back in 1992 was one of those "Who the fuck are these guys???" kind of moments. And thats saying a lot considering all the great bands and music that was coming out around 1992 and especially 1993. I was an instant fan. Glad she went back with this one.

      @@fajaradi1223 I find your assessment to be quite true. DT is almost comically talented band, but their music is difficult to enjoy. And I'm not saying they're bad, it's just they work on a level that isn't always easy to access. What makes me happy, though, is that they keep making stuff they want to make. It's important. Fan service, to me, feels like talking down on your audience and DT doesn't feel like that. If it means I have to listen to more of their albums, I'm okay with that.

I've also found that metalheads really love sharing their music with other people, which is probably why we're, as a community, drawn to these reaction channels.

All 3 are definitely at the top of what is possible though on a keyboard. Sons of Apollo with Derek and Mikey is sick though.
      Check out Three Lives by Octavision RIGHT NOW if you haven't heard it yet. Its a 9½ minute epic song with Victor Wooten on bass. Its A LOT like an old DT instrumental. Very catchy and the Mark V Boogie guitar tones on a 7 string Mayones by Hovak are gorgeous...he is THE MAN. VERY Petrucciesque, only other guy I've heard sound like that is Marco Sfogli on LaBrie's solo records, also rocking the Mark series Mesa.

      Yeah, I had a few Dream Theater songs on my ipod in high school (early 2010s), and I liked their older stuff quite a bit. But I kept meeting TONS of older guys that LOVED dream theater, and I never really understood why. Then I watched their 1993 Tokyo live stuff, and it was like an entirely different band.
      That was when I understood and came to respect the old DT fans, because they were the ones that saw it happen live, when these guys were at their peak, and THAT's what they imagine when they think of the band.

      Technically, LaBrie is a much better singer now than he was back then. If you go back through the progression of live vids from the Images & Words tour through to the Octavarium tour, and then the subsequent tours after Octavarium, his live performances deteriorated up until that Octavarium tour. Like most vocalists, he most likely did not learn the "tricks of the trade" for preserving his voice throughout those early tours. I think I remember reading he did some extensive work with a vocal coach to address a lot of that (which a lot of other professional vocalists do) and it has made a drastic difference in the quality of his voice throughout the tour. Meaning that in the early days, if you caught them at the beginning of a tour segment, you got a much better performance than if you caught them at the end of a tour. Now he's much better at maintaining consistency throughout.

      @@daviddecker404 Yes, David. agree, that LaBrie is more consistent nowadays... singing off-tune. His voice is just not what it used to be any more. Some say that he overused his voice or didn't use correct singing techniques in the early years of DT, which has affected his singing abilities (I also know about the food poisoning incident), I can't comment on those things, but I just don't find that voice very appealing any more on live concerts. I do listen to studio recordings, which are still relatively decent. Not here to start an argument, just my subjective opinion.

This has lead to a TON of bad live performances in the late 90s and early 2000s. Still, the dude is a powerhouse in the studio, and over the last few years he has been sounding better and better live again!

      However, it's true that the food poisoning per se is not the reason why LaBrie's voice getting worse. We must look at the context at the time. In an interview, he said that after the poisoning, he should take a rest and not singing for a couple of months. But, he "ignored" it because at the time, DT need to grab their momentum by touring after the success of "Image and Words". LaBrie himself knew what the risk was. But, chance doesn't come twice, right? So, basically he just forced himself to fulfil his duty as the vocalist and frontman of the band, eventhough the decision damaging to his asset in a long run.

    Dream Theatre (Oz spelling) were always "mathematical" and super precise ... like digital callipers for sound. I'm a bit of a DT newbie, but understand they are profoundly adept at being tighter than a fishes clacker on Sunday during a winter storm while Grandpa is having a shotgun crisis with the back flap open. $0.02 ... love your insight Beth ... just bringing some Tasmanian randomness to the equation.

    I just saw them in concert in Chicago 2 nights ago. Their new album is amazing.

    I know you appreciate good musicianship, but if you're going to do more Dream Theater, expect lots more bits with no singing. This instrumental break's actually pretty short by their standards... :3

    I love Dream Theatre's early albums.
    Seen them live on 6 consecutive tours. Absolutely my favourite band during the 90s and yearly 2000s.
