I still like the performances where LaBrie doesn't force his voice to ridiculous highs he can't reach anymore. His sweet whisper voice is still there and doing fine.
I love how loud and clear petruccis guitar is. Reminds me of dimebag pantera days. He was turned up so much, I loved it. Nothing worse than a guitar solo that just sounds like background noise because it gets lost in everything else.
I believe he had some throat injuries (other than the famous food poisonig story) he can’t keep a precise intonation in every register, but who knows. I hope he will find a way to improve his singing even in this status
Sounds like his singing different lyrics. Maybe he decided to change them or just forgot the original lyrics to the song??? Your guess is good as mine.
People criticising James LaBrie as if they were professional singers with 40+ years experience… mate when your vocal cords go there’s nothing you can do about it. He’s there owning it and manning up, unlike you lot who think you’re Simon f*cking Cowell
@@gabziu3161 Frankly, Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands of all time. I saw them live for the first time back in the ’90s, and I still love their music. However, James LaBrie’s vocals have declined. While this concert was amazing, it could have been even better. I understand that he suffered from food poisoning, which affected his voice, but they might need to consider either adjusting the tuning or finding a new vocalist.
@@aksonplusexplorerIf the rest of the band is still in peak performance level, they have no reason to retire. But yeah, James has been rough for years now.
I believe LaBrie himself knows about his deficiency, but what if it’s the others preventing him from stepping down? They take Portnoy back for a reason, because it’s like a family to them and this 5 is probably the best they ever had and they want to play together at least one more time? Who knows. While its a bit frustrating, lets just enjoy it while it lasted
I was happy to see and hear James, and I think some 'fans' should just stop whining! If you don't like him being there ... don't buy tickets and don't go. I was there for the package!

I really wouldn't be against them getting a 2nd singer to just hit the high notes at this point
He's still struggling here though. Sucks to see because this was the range he shined on back in the 90's. Age is the singer's curse.
@@vosoryan I wouldn't mind if the 2nd singer sing all of them and LaBrie just dance.
@@funkster007 Nah, there are plenty of singers that still haven't lost it at old age, Dio was one.
@@ufukkiblat Dio had the golden pipes. One of one
JP can make me cry everytime with this....
I just can say I love James LaBrie and he is brave!! ❤
JP THE BEST PLAY GUITAR IN THE WORLD
Yeah.
Love the intro solo ❤ been listening to it repeatedly ❤
I love how loud and clear petruccis guitar is.
Reminds me of dimebag pantera days. He was turned up so much, I loved it.

I missed those harmonies
Right, I certainly missed Portnoy's singing.
I agree so much with both of you 🥹🥹🥹
I'm just at the 2:00 minute mark and that's one of the best solos I've ever heard from JP
Amazing INTRO SOLO . Bravo JP
budokan solo is legendary but I actually did'nt mind this alternative
8:10 MR JOHN PETRAYTRAY
Ha ha ja ha
First shows this solo sounded kind of awkward now he is nailing and making it unbelievable 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸
This intro has a Gary moore-Parissiene walkays feel❤
Dream Theater will always be Dream Theater ❤
I cry every time...the solo...
I cry also when LaBrie sings
It sucks 😂
Man, James can’t even keep pitch in low register. Is he drunk? He totally slaughters this song.
Kkkkk complicado

If you don't like it, just... fuck off... nobody wants to see you whining in the comments, nobody cares what you have to say
Cry about it
Probably the first time JP totally killed it again since Budokan
He also did during the Black Clouds & Silver Linings tour.
Agreed.
I was thinking like that when I saw it live.
2:00 When you put a chromatic scale in a solo and still sounds good.
yeah, that was very clever.
Awesome
Alternate lyrics
This is the original version from 1996 (demo)
James is brutal
anyone knows whats the intro music ? it sounds familar but i cant grasp it...
@@LordNikonPL It's just new intro of this song.
What the lyrics at 5m20s? I saw the show at RJ and I didn't know what means that part. Could someone explain me , please?
No DVD o Petrucci vai gravar esse solo , ficou lindo
Mengingatkan ku kembali versi hollow years di budhokan 2004.versi terbaik sampai saat ini
with portnoy back, he can handle backing voc to save james...
I’ve posted the entire concert in my channel, divided by song!!
Check it out!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Labrie sounds like even in a moderate range he is struggling or suffering. This song is beautiful but he is close to ruining it…
They should finally get a new singer
James Labrie from Temu 😅
Half step or a touch of auto-correct
Sounds like his singing different lyrics. Maybe he decided to change them or just forgot the original lyrics to the song??? Your guess is good as mine.

His voice is there, the pitch is off. It's hard to listen to

Whats about the voice james LaBrie???😵💫😵💫
Drama Brie 🫣
James LaBrie's voice was amazing❤❤
People are hating for hating😂
@@MetalGodOfLegend exactly.
LaBrie actually sounds pretty good here. He sounds just like in 2003!
It seems your hearing might not be as sharp as it was back in 2003.
@@heteroyngwielover Well not exactly like 2003 because of course he is a lot older but you can hear his old voice in the lower-register parts

@@heteroyngwielover autotuning him has worked decently in the past
He sounds horrible
Holy crap, who hired this singer? That sas worse than weekend karaoke after 10 beers.
He's just been the band's singer for like 35 years
I also think he's been shit for the last 15 years but they don't seem to care
@@riccardozamprogno5824 they just cant replace him, because the voice of band is your soul.
@@aksonplusexplorer i understand what you say
But come on, it's not acceptable anymore
@@riccardozamprogno5824 honestly i preffer they retire all and disband instead replace someone, they are old..
@@aksonplusexplorerIf the rest of the band is still in peak performance level, they have no reason to retire. But yeah, James has been rough for years now.
Hollow singer. They better do something about it. If he can't sing older material...then don't play it, or get Halford, Dickinson...
"You'll see the message getting clearer, and maybe you'll understand", yeah I don't understand what happened here...
It's the Falling Into Infinty demo version

James has always struggled with his voice. And it’s just gotten worse
just autotune him please 😢
Fuck off with your autotune bullshit
