For the record, my sole vocal on this album at the end of this song is officially referred to as a “mow” 😂 It’s been around as long as over 35 years now and could be heard as far back as on the Majesty 1985 Berklee Demos and also is at the start of every single “Making Of” Documentary Video for Radiant Records (Transatlantic, NMB, Flying Colors, etc) much like the labels MGM lion! 🦁 😎
MIKE Please do something about this. I don't care about copyright...I WANT you to get the money, but to block the whole video from being watched? why? This doesn't do you or anyone any good. Please. My reaction to LTE 3 was blocked. :(
covid vaccines are for sheep who don't know how to think on their own. Only a sheep would think a vaccine is needed for a cold virus that has a .0001% mortality rate. Keep believing the tv though. Don't believe the frontline doctors who were banned for telling the truth. Rich people are evil remember. Except for the Rich people on tv. Believe them. You believe They care about you more than you do. Only a non thinking moron would take any vaccine the tv tells you about.
@@drewjohnson4794 I get that you're probably only pretending to be this stupid, but even on an anonymous platform, how are you not embarrassed to comment shit like this?
Mike is so badass, with a blink of the eye, he has time to put a hoodie on during the guitar shred, then take it off again without missing a beat. Incredible!
I actually appreciate the fact they decided not to hide any of the editing. Many people make playthroughs that have weird ghost hits and/or other types of things than don't correlate with the audio, while the perfect honesty is that even the best of the best edit tracks from different takes. This was so much more pleasurable to watch since every hit was truly there in the audio, too.
Everyone knows Mike has chops. But I love his choice of color. He doesn't just "smack stuff." The tonal qualities of each splash, and the crash cymbals he chooses to ride on. All building tension and release. What a great musician!!!
A song that remind us the old good days when Mr Portnoy was in DREAM THEATER!!!!! I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THEM IN MILAN FEW MONTHS BEFORE HE LEFT THE BAND!! IT WAS A HELL OF A SHOW!!!
Saw them here in Rome for the 'Metropolis Pt.2' tour, so many years ago.... Sang all the songs with friends just in front (less than 5meters probably) of Petrucci. Will never forget that gig and fun we got that day, and possibly still my absolute all time fav one as i can rememb.
Sorry for my english, cause I am from Russia, but I can't understand...who puts dislikes generally??? Mike and Neil Peart are the greatest drummers I have ever seen!
@@ivanterekhov5369 Damn you, you're supposed to run, and I assumed someone who would click on a Mike Portnoy drum cam despite not liking Mike Portnoy would be cowardly enough to run from danger
A legend. Period. My favourite drummer of all time. Old time DT fan. Have watched you numerous times in Greece. I have even said to my coach that a family member has died to see you perform live.
Most genius drummer ever, he mastering how to fill the instrumental sounds. also he invent most beautiful cymbal play that the other professional drummer can't do.
Mike Portnoy. ich bin immer wieder fasziniert von der Spielexaktheit und Perfektion. ich war selber 40 Jahre Drummer in verschiedenen unbekannten DDR Rockbands - aber soetwas habe ich nie hinbekommen.
Even being a expert and experienced drummer as MP, we never will know how long he spend time repeating again and again all these notes to give us tese songs. That’s awesome!
How drum can be so colored... thanks Mike for drawing pictures with your artistic vein and unique inspirations Hope see you in Milano, Italy, on October 2024
Thank you Mike!!!!! It was already my favorite song of the year and somehow watching this version has me completely dumbfounded. How in the world does he write music this insanely good and then play it? I’ve been a fan since I&W and decades later he still is getting even faster and more complex. Absolutely Amazing
Machines can do the sounds. But Mike inspires. Like an artisan, these guys inspire each one of us to be better at our jobs every single day. Thanks for that.
Mike I love you man! Greetings from China! Been a fan of DT LTE for over 25yrs, Im going to see your first tour back with DT in London this October! Will fly over from Beijing, can’t wait!
Musically speaking (or typing anyways) this is the second greatest news of the last year, only after the release of the song itself. Mike, you're a monster. Keep drumming.
OMG, once again... These 4 guys will never disappoint... Individually they're all masters. Together tho? This is a once in a lifetime moment here people!!! 3rd, whatever...lol
I'm fascinated by your drumming style, technicality, and creativity, and have been for the past 25 years....watching you play the kit (no matter the song) is a constant reminder that the physical and mental demands of playing drums at this level requires a junk load of practice, timing, endurance, patience, skills, and of course, oxygen! ✌Thanks for sharing the knowledge over the years....much respect and appreciation for your dedication/commitment to being the best drummer you can be. 👍 As an alumni of the DCI drum corps, The Cadets ('79-'84), I'm hoping to see a drum line play one of your songs or drum solos on a football field...they say anything's possible when it comes to marching music and with this being the 50th Anniversary of DCI (Drum Corps International), how cool would that be? Peace!
Finally DT reunited again with my favorite drummer!!! If you come to Italy during the tour, after finishing the recording of the new album, I will do everything to see you!
Well, there went The Dance of Eternity……. MP seems to be getting even more faster and accurate with age. This has to be in the top 10 most difficult songs to play for us drummers. Good God!
Before, we could say "...but there is Neil". I think we can now safely say that Mike is the best drummer living. Always a pleasure to watch and listen. I loved DT before thinking it was for the guitar (I am a guitar guy). Curiously, I followed Mike in almost all his projet. I say almost, because following all, is a full time job. So keep up the good job Mike
You ever watch something, and then realize when it's all done that you're just sitting there dumb founded with your mouth agape, like WTF did i just witness? That's what it's like watching Mike Portnoy play the drums. Jeezus he is insane.
Top 3 best in universe in no particular order: Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey, Gavin Harrison. These 3 drummers really show how drumming has evolved since the 1960-70's, since Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ian Paice etc. We live in a great era!
I fucking just love this band. I don't understand how you can get four different people on the same page for all this insanity, but I'm super glad about it. Out of the four guys busting their asses, I think Portnoy's got the hardest job.
oh wow.. this some how remind me of those 6:00 on a Xmas morning times where you'd just hit refresh to see what MP would present as a gift... and Xmas came early! thank you santa!
La facilidad que tiene este flaco para mandarse semejante despelote de talento! Mamita! Sos groso che... espero poder volver a verlo en algun concierto nuevamente.
Mike portnoy im from indonesia. thank you for supporting the bucket drummer from Indonesia and for giving him the symbal. I hope what you give can be useful for him
i love how you kept it natural with the different takes. not ashamed to either. a very admirable trait my friend! now i know its ok to have multiple takes! very down to earth person but your drumming is definitely out of this world! peace brother! thank you
considering the age of not only Mike but also Tony, this is somewhat the old guard, the old alpha leader in the wolf pack showing the youngsters he is not stepping down yet and has still a few tricks up his sleeve! This album came out of nothing and sounds like recorded from a band that just founded themselves. it is amazing, really! The Vigor, the joy, the fun in the playing is something that totally translates to the listener. I am so thankful they are still around and record music, whether that is Tony, Jordan, John or Mike.
Magificient! I PROUD to have this Vinyl Record in my vinyl collection! And ...HOPE to have the Vinyl Reissue of LTE + LTE 2!!!!!.... in the near future!!!
For the record, my sole vocal on this album at the end of this song is officially referred to as a “mow” 😂

After Porcupine Tree reuniting.
Let's appreciate that we're at a time when we can listen to Mike Portnoy playing both with Jordan Rudess and Derek Sherinian
@Ted Longings A change of seasons and falling into infinity? Opinions are opinions I guess...
@Ted Longings lol what
@Ted Longings I think you're thinking of Kevin Moore lol
That said I still think Derek rocks too
Watch the When Dream and Day Reunite DVD. Derek and Jordan both play on Metropolis and shred it out.
@@GeraltOfLibya Buddy, Derek is one of the most technically gifted keyboardists in history
Mike is so badass, with a blink of the eye, he has time to put a hoodie on during the guitar shred, then take it off again without missing a beat. Incredible!
🤣
Actually that isn't what happened at all. Clearly someone else changed him while he was playing.
@Omega Centauri And hence, the name of the song
Meh, can't you see Tony Levin could appear and disappear in a blink of an eye
room temperature must be crazy!, hoodie to tank, to hoodie...

One of the truest thing ever said on the internet
In his DT days he'd nail a 16 min track in one take though easy lol
@@Papipalazuelos well he's 50+ now
He's always've done that in all the drum videos.
Take a better look at 4:59 to 5:01 and listen to the double snare hit that isn't there.
Everyone knows Mike has chops. But I love his choice of color. He doesn't just "smack stuff." The tonal qualities of each splash, and the crash cymbals he chooses to ride on. All building tension and release. What a great musician!!!

I was at their shows in Rome 5 times… the last was The Progressive Nation tour, amazing show, with a gran finale… i miss it!
Those old days are back!!!!!!!!!!!!! Portnoy back where he belongs again.
Mike is now back!
Sorry for my english, cause I am from Russia, but I can't understand...who puts dislikes generally??? Mike and Neil Peart are the greatest drummers I have ever seen!
Here is the USA we call those people idiots. Cheers to You and Russia! Also, your English is perfectly fine. Cheers! 🍻
U from Russia? Your name seems like from Europe haha
I completely stand by my comment.
@@ivanterekhov5369 You're too close to the truth, be quiet about the mass production of Mike Portnoys before we have to send an attack drone your way

A legend. Period. My favourite drummer of all time. Old time DT fan. Have watched you numerous times in Greece. I have even said to my coach that a family member has died to see you perform live.
He compliments every song that he plays on, so that it is the best that it can sound. Such an extraordinary musician.
Wow!! Thanks Mike for everything you have done for our friend Deden Noy! Your a true good guy!
He's the most musical drummer on the planet, his fluidity with music is a masterpiece.
How could anyone sane in their minds seriously dislike this masterpiece and the musical geniuses involved!?!?
Mangini did 🤭
@@freddoxum Ouch...!! 👍🏻😀
@@freddoxum mangini loves portnoy...stop creating drama where there is none
I agree! Mangini is actually a really nice guy! Would never think of him as envious or jealous when it comes to Portnoy and his work...
@@mirkecWii come on guys, that's a joke. Take it easy 😉
Mike's playing is so unique. I can recognize it so well. Its just beautiful and perfect. No one can play so perfect as mike.
This reminds me of being in my early 20s, sending away for the mail in DVD of the As I Am drum cam in its entirety. Good times.
Most genius drummer ever, he mastering how to fill the instrumental sounds.
also he invent most beautiful cymbal play that the other professional drummer can't do.
The perfect combo of musicians! Portnoy at the set with Petrucci feels so right!
Mike is a fricking amazing drummer. One of the best in the business if not the best period. He's like a Machine!!!!!!!

20 plus years waiting!!! In need LTE3 NOW!!!! Amazing work as always Mike!!!
Forever Mike, greatest drummer with his heart in his hands, love it !!!
The magical wizard of drums!
Thank you Mike!!!!! It was already my favorite song of the year and somehow watching this version has me completely dumbfounded. How in the world does he write music this insanely good and then play it?
I’ve been a fan since I&W and decades later he still is getting even faster and more complex. Absolutely Amazing
He's the Mohamed Ali of drummers!!
Years go by...but when he actually come up again...I feel the difference.
Thanks for posting!
That ROCKS! So excited that Mike is playing with those guys again.
0:33 Octavarium vibe. Love it!
Machines can do the sounds. But Mike inspires. Like an artisan, these guys inspire each one of us to be better at our jobs every single day. Thanks for that.
Ahhhh, brings me back! What a display and gathering of talent and musicianship!
Much loves and respects for you mr portnoy... Thanks for your beautiful music
Mike I love you man! Greetings from China! Been a fan of DT LTE for over 25yrs, Im going to see your first tour back with DT in London this October! Will fly over from Beijing, can’t wait!
You’re the best Mike ! I hope to see you live in the near future but for now, we have to be patient and take care.
Happy Birthday Mike !!!You are the best drummer!I always watch with great pleasure.Hello from Russia!Health and success!
Add another to the pile! I can watch master mp on the drums all day. Its high quality entertainment for hours!
Musically speaking (or typing anyways) this is the second greatest news of the last year, only after the release of the song itself. Mike, you're a monster. Keep drumming.
Some 'Honor thy Father' chops here ;) The king, Mr. Mike Portnoy!!
Thanks Mike, it's great how music can remember emotions felt over twenty years ago. Can't wait to receive the album.
OMG, once again... These 4 guys will never disappoint... Individually they're all masters. Together tho? This is a once in a lifetime moment here people!!! 3rd, whatever...lol
Mike is the fabric of the big bang that expanded Groove Matrix. Holy Sheets 🤘🏼
Mike!!! Still AAX Hats!!! And the old faithful 22" HH Ride!!!

Great song, drums sound awesome!
Massive kudos to Bob Sackter for having to edit all the footage with the right takes, crikey!

There are times during this that my brain is saying he's just hitting drums at random but my ears are saying this sounds BADASS.
This guy is the main reason I take drum classes
One of my main influences for drumming, love watching mike's videos! 🤘🏼
A drum that clearly distinguishes strength and weakness
very very good!!!
