Dream Theater - Medley (Live) at The Fillmore, Detroit MI. February 22, 2022. 0:00 Invisible Monster 6:15 About to Crash 12:20 The Ministry of Lost Souls
I think he was trying to make his signature, and now he realized that all we want is to have good music. Portnoy is unique, so as Mangini. If you look at the quality of the last two DT albuns, you see that he finally have found his place in the band. We all miss Portnoy, but it is way better to still have DT rather than not. BUT, the extreme monster kit was epic.
@@Presto1920 all the answers for me is right, as that kit was, at least, "provocative". The best DT drum kit was the Albine Monster, from Portnoy. In my opinion.
Just FYI - those talking about the vocals during the chorus of About To Crash. If you listen to bootlegs from the 2002 tour, Portnoy would sing the upper octave in falsetto and LaBrie always sung the lower octave live. Petrucci would handle the middle harmony. Now that DT uses tracks to thicken up their live sound, they can incorporate more textures from the actual recording. James has always sung the lower octave in the chorus.
People just want to complain. It is absolute normal to have tracks being triggered in pretty much any band. When Queen plays Bohemian Rhapsody, in the lyrical part, the band leaves the stage and let the track alone. It is normal, period. What is not normal is pure lip sync, as many pop singer does.
oh bro don’t bother in explaining. Most of these toxic fans just wanna search for the minor mistake in each second of a live DT concert and unfortunately it has been like that since ever.
I went to a DT show like this in Philly. Everyone was seated and I was in the way back, so I just waltzed up to the stage and hung out with my elbows literally on the stage directly in front of JP. Shortly after, people started trickling up to the front, and before you knew it, everyone was standing and actually moving to the music. DT's music are sonic journeys .. you need to be moving to move it through your entire body. Anyway, I hope the band noticed the change in vibe. That night was my most memorable DT experience.
So we had assigned seats in Atlanta, and no one sat the entire show! Everybody up "waltzing", it was awesome... In 2019 during the SFaM tour, everyone stayed seated, but I managed to stand up at the balcony barrier, an employee sent me back to my seat but shortly after went back. We were 3 of us there, living the music, having a blast. It's truly hard to enjoy a concert seating down...
Wow wow wow, that was an excellent jp solo at the end! That one got me! Also not often that I can sit and watch multiple songs played in a row live. These ones all went together very well, the sound quality was great in the video. Great video thank you for sharing
I'll be honest... I'm getting a bit older so quite often I wear earplugs at concerts, now. So many concerts over the years, it's what it's come down to. Glad you were able to catch them live. They are impressive.
@@droidfan Yes, used a Galaxy S21+. The new phones do pretty well. Most of the videos on my channel were recorded with an LG V40. Basically, I make sure to always use Full HD (1080p) and try to hold steady so the mics aren't tracking anything else. Make sure you hold the phone by the edges and that you're not covering any of the mics. Last, some phones will zoom the mics when you zoom the camera, so avoid zooming in too much. You might not get the close up shots, but the sound will remain consistent (though you might be able to shut that off in the settings).
Ummmmm... why would you do such a thing? Earplugs? That's blasphemus!!!!! Your ears deserve better... like the sound of the greatest band ever!!!!! Long live DT!!!!!!
@@mOnStErMACEO I fully agree with you, but U know.. when U get (almost) old and when tinnitus begins, U have no choice and have to take care to appreciate each sounds any longer. Easy to change guitar strings, harder to get new ears or vocal chords when broken. James LaBrie could tell about that problem, unfortunately.
If you listen to bootlegs from the 2002 tour, Portnoy would sing the upper octave in falsetto and LaBrie always sung the lower octave live. Petrucci would handle the middle harmony. Now that DT uses tracks to thicken up their live sound, they can incorporate more textures from the actual recording. James has always sung the lower octave in the chorus.
My thoughts exactly...saw them in Raleigh NC two weeks ago and the whole floor section stood the entire show...I was seated just behind the floor level to the side and stood as well...53yrs old...what a great show Raleigh was...this Detroit crowd was lame, with the exception of a few
there are pre-recorded lead vocals going on... not sure about lip syncing tho. It's seems james is singing along as well. 1:20 you can definitely hear it
What's up with this crowd sitting down in those close seats??? Only a few stand at end of Souls...seems shocking for Detroit....Raleigh NC crowd the entire floor level stood entire show
Its typical at a lot of these prog shows. During the Images, Words and Beyond tour at California the crowd sat during the concert, only standing during Images & Words portion. And when I attended Yngwie Malmsteen in Seattle, the majority of the crowd sat during the openers and the rest of the setlist. And during the DT concert it was really tame at Seattle this year. We stood, but it was at an arena and not a hall or theatre. So the seats really sucked 😂 And honestly? At the California show, a kid next to me was head banging and holding the rails the entire concert, and got asked by security legitimately to calm down like a dozen times. I didn’t mind. I love DT. So it was nice to see someone else enjoying it too.
Also JP was fired up and fed off the Raleigh crowd at the end of this, it was the Happiest I've ever seen him on stage. Definitely made the bands night the crowd was so into it.
Lol I don’t get why he’s getting so much hate for it. It’s a backing track. His live singing is still in the front. They no longer have 2 guys in the band that can sing backup. So they probably do it just to beef up the big moments.
I don't see anything wrong with that, he still sang his lower note part, and he did his best to deliver the song. And age is not a curse, everyone experiences it and we can see that part to appreciate instead.
well, it's not that bad and for the ones that says " he doesen't sing in the concerts" he uses pre recorded vocals for the secondary "melody" while he do the low part
That concert format, with the entire audience seated, I don't quite like it, it makes the audience less warm and interact less with the band. Ese formato de concierto, con todo el publico sentado, no me termina de gustar, hace que el publico sea menos calido e interactue menos con la banda.
@@untethered_ If that is true, it shouldn't have affected his voice.Bronchitis would but his voice doesn't sound hoarse. James just has some bad habits of slurring words throughout his singing career.His pitch control is usually good.
His vocals were outstanding considering this is the first tour in a while. Try singing 90 minutes 5 nights a week for 6 weeks. The softer the song, the harder it is to control.
Não vou dar “dislike” por respeito ao legado do Dream Theater. Mas é uma total desconexão das músicas da era Portnoy para a atual. O desânimo do público demonstra que o DT perdeu o seu brilho, sua magia. Parece tudo muito mecânico. Acredito que eles cansaram disso tudo…
definitively a band without soul , playing for very few people in a boring concert , I do not know what has to happen for them to realize that they have become everything that they are not . The fall of one of the coolest bands I've ever heard. It sucks what they did with their music...
That transition from About to Crash to Ministry was sexy 🔥
Good to see Mangini playing on kind of normal drum set. Without cymbals hanging on the second floor.
Indeed. Even though, it´s weird to see that drum set up without a second bass drum =S
It was iconic though

I went to that tour when they were playing at The Met, that was my second Dream Theater tour. Loved it.

Click tracks are so cool.

19:40 drum so amazing!!!
Finalmente mangine parou com a mania de colocar peças da batera no alto, isso compromete a performance e interação com o público.
The Ministry of Lost souls❤️❤️
I can't wait until they are back this spring
Thank for nice vdo
Portnoy cuánto te extraño
Demasiado, seria bueno que algún día volviera...
Wow wow wow, that was an excellent jp solo at the end! That one got me! Also not often that I can sit and watch multiple songs played in a row live. These ones all went together very well, the sound quality was great in the video. Great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it!
I remember watching people back when they came to Minneapolis but it was amazing.
Thank you very much, a great recording
Glad you enjoyed it!
I will see them next week 😎🤟
Nice sound!
OH YEAH I was there absolutely incredible
3 great musicians, used to be 4.
Wow thanks a lot for sharing this! The end gave me goosebumps 🤘
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
amazing quality man!!!
Thanks!
DT boys you better tune up, I am coming to London on 23rd and I want my children to believe you can still rock and roll!
We got to see him in montreal
Man it was awesome
love this band. Their 2019 live show in london was equally outstanding!
Great vantage point and great video. I saw the show in Minneapolis. Loud as hell, wasn't it?!
I'll be honest... I'm getting a bit older so quite often I wear earplugs at concerts, now. So many concerts over the years, it's what it's come down to. Glad you were able to catch them live. They are impressive.
Great video!!!! Sound is awesome. Me and my ears thank you eternally. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Listened with headphones... amazing!
Is this recorded with a phone? If yes - how on earth you got this sound quality??

@@madman370 Man, thanks so much for taking the time to, not only answer, but to explain the process! Really appreciate it!
Hi,
Thank U for that vid', very amazing sound U have in it, I feel as if I was there - without the earplugs :)

About To Crash is so coooool!!
Nostalgia,when i was young.
amazing. 5 alien
Whatever venue this is sounds incredible. Way better than the hockey rink in SLC. So much sound gets lost in those arenas
Yes, the Fillmore is a classic theater and sounds great. It also probably helped that I was only about 15 feet in front of the sound board.
Ministry is best played live
Word
Wowwwww2
🤟🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏🙏
11:48-49 - oooh..
😂
Labrie what a goat (...)
is Myung reading the music?
Wow, ok! Love that DT decided to play unrelated songs back to back, well done
What album is this from?! Love it.
2021, 2002, 2007 .
Six Degrees of inner turbulence
it's a medley of 3 songs:
Invisible Monster - About to Crash - Ministry of Lost Souls
Are the crowd alive?
Seated audience right in front of the stage?
the animation behind them looks like coming from a Doctor Strange movie !
Mangini using single bassdrum instead of double bassdrums?
The crowd sitting at a Dream Theater concert.
No question, it's a pandemic, but that just looks weird...
My thoughts exactly...saw them in Raleigh NC two weeks ago and the whole floor section stood the entire show...I was seated just behind the floor level to the side and stood as well...53yrs old...what a great show Raleigh was...this Detroit crowd was lame, with the exception of a few
has nothing to do with the pandemic. Saw DT in 2014 already seated in a theater in Berlin. Same goes for Opeth in 2015 on the Evolution XX Tour.
@Lothar Lustig Yes, we all want to read that under a Dream Theater video. Thank you so much...
Live in solo Indonesia
Denger kbar dream theater akad knser di solo ,mga benar
Great! But, James have a background voice? lip sync? no way! right?
there are pre-recorded lead vocals going on... not sure about lip syncing tho. It's seems james is singing along as well. 1:20 you can definitely hear it
would assume it's the background vocal layer
@@kengseong quite possible. On later albums they seem to double track vocals a Lot. Maybe they are trying to replicate that live
@@iurinogueira not forgetting those background 'fighting scenes' in memories
Sounds like a harmonizer. I think I remember Petrucci using one live for some guitar work. Not a big deal.
What's up with this crowd sitting down in those close seats??? Only a few stand at end of Souls...seems shocking for Detroit....Raleigh NC crowd the entire floor level stood entire show
Its typical at a lot of these prog shows.
During the Images, Words and Beyond tour at California the crowd sat during the concert, only standing during Images & Words portion.
And when I attended Yngwie Malmsteen in Seattle, the majority of the crowd sat during the openers and the rest of the setlist.

The Raleigh crowd was on fire!!! Fn awesome show and crowd! The end of Count of Tuscany with the audience singing wa epic.
Also JP was fired up and fed off the Raleigh crowd at the end of this, it was the Happiest I've ever seen him on stage. Definitely made the bands night the crowd was so into it.
If you were there, you'll remember the drunk guy that tried to touch James lmao
Yes. Never a good thing to have James admonish you at a show. Don't know what that guy was thinking.
why the hell labrie not retiring ffs. he is fckn suffering
drago force vocalist marc hudson is match for new dt lead singer . he'll nail every dt song
nope.. hes no Labrie.. no JLB/JP no DT..
I prefer hearing human voice singing the right pitch when dt live rather than old tyrex try to sing
@@scavengersredemptaliation1503 listen to JLB, he is the voice of DT.. dont like it? try justin bieber..
Damn, in the chorus of about to crash you can hear james backing track.....
8:48 yes, so sad.
Although he is still singing, the backing track is another voice singing another melody, there's nothing wrong with that.
@@felippedias5446 its the age... really sad :'(
Lol I don’t get why he’s getting so much hate for it. It’s a backing track. His live singing is still in the front. They no longer have 2 guys in the band that can sing backup. So they probably do it just to beef up the big moments.

Seems like they lip-sync the chorus
Crowd is really dead these DT days
Too slow i think, it's still Dream Theater who i know... ??? so sad, want to sleep hear this F+%#Kin Song
lol... stop pretending kid.... they use click live.. no more rushing/dragging
I hate the fact that they have been using playback backing vocals
it's a real shame that James can't sing anymore, I think, Great Band Ever
!!!!
He’s not that bad here, though...
well, it's not that bad and for the ones that says " he doesen't sing in the concerts" he uses pre recorded vocals for the secondary "melody" while he do the low part
@@SgtPepper423 sicuro, tutto sotto " click"
@@Chris-pd2uv ok se lo dici tu
Seen more enthusiasm at a morgue… out
Honestly??? Seated??????
I don't get it ... what happened to rock concerts? Seated audience and movies in the back. Almost every bigger band is doin' this nowadays. Without me
That concert format, with the entire audience seated, I don't quite like it, it makes the audience less warm and interact less with the band.

Отличная группа , слабое звено - вокалист................................................................
Labrie needs to retire he has not sung well in a long time.. John it’s like playing with a guitar out of tune. Labrie totally out of tune
He was straining horribly on the bridge of "About to Crash", and almost - but not quite - hitting the notes.
13:50 so disgusting...
Yes.James sang a lot of clams in this concert.
at the time of this he was getting over the flu
@@untethered_ If that is true, it shouldn't have affected his voice.Bronchitis would but his voice doesn't sound hoarse. James just has some bad habits of slurring words throughout his singing career.His pitch control is usually good.

JLB surely has to realize how far out of tune he is now. Such a shame. Ministry is a great song, but the vocals here ruin it for me.

Cynical crybaby
Lipsync Theater
most boring crowd ever
I don't like this stage setup with no amps on stage, looks fake, plain and boring, that's not rock. Bring back the stacks!
