As a Dream Theater and Haken superfan, I loved this team up so much. I am so glad DT and Portnoy have finally reunited!
I'm so sad that Dream Theater never got the chance to play the full 12 Step Suite in its entirety with Portnoy. This is better than nothing but it doesn't sound the same without Labrie.
Your right, without labrie it sounds way better
@@reee1456 nah
I do have to say, Ross Jennings's voice actually fits pretty well in The Glass Prison
For those years, Ross Jennings was much more on tune than James LaBrie.
@@reee1456 Ross Jennings voice sucks tho.
As fantastic as this is, there is something about it that makes me profoundly sad. I'm a huge DT fan and Mike is easily one of my biggest inspirations in drumming, maybe that's what makes this to difficult to process. Not to detract from the incredible amount of talent on that stage, the level of musicianship on display is nothing short of astounding, but it's got this strange uncanny valley vibe to it where it's so incredibly close to the original but closer you get the more glaringly obvious the differences are...
But at the end of the day, Mike is having fun playing music and I couldn't be happier for him! As much as I hated to see him leave, I love what he's doing now with the Winery Dogs and Mangini is killing it in DT...just can't shake that strange feeling while watching this.
Same here, man.
I always secretly hope they could put apart their differencse for a show, or a tour, and play these songs together one last time.
I personally wish they would get together and play "A Change of Seasons," one more time. That song is the one piece of music that I consider to be the definitive Dream Theater song.
Pack'd House you put into words what i wasnt being able to, good job :)
Yeah.. Me too
Hearng this tho its no doubt James is the voice of the Theater for sure
It says a lot about the man's legacy when the concert stub reads Mike Portnoy feat. Haken
Mike Portnoy and Haken is a surprisingly good combination.
How do you know there were Argentinians on board? When you hear "Olé Olé Olé Olé Portnoy Portnoy!"
Eric Gillette nailing Petrucci's parts perfectly, such a talented guy. And he can actually sing.
Amazing how many negative comments there are! Great video, thanks for the upload. Great performances (three guitar players not making any noticeable mistakes at shred parts in This Dying Soul 24:10!!!). And yes there are three guitarists as there happened to be three people there to have fun playing.
You don't realise how good Labrie was until you listen to someone else to try sing the parts.
That's true
Yeah,I hate all the dt "fans" who just bash him in every single comment section instead of enjoying the dude
Bad sound quality doesn't help either
@@GMatt193 The guys who hate LaBrie and Mangini and Rudess are not fans of Dream Theater. There. I said it.
Are you joking? This guy sounds way better.
EDIT: Until Dying Soul.
Its gotta be difficult for man to his the notes James hits. James is a vocal machine Ross definitely did a great job we really went into a different range for this sooo cool
hearing it in a lower range was really interesting!!
he must have been singing a perfect 4th below all the notes so it stays in key
Honestly if you hear anything from Haken, Ross’s range is easily as great as Labries.
Labrie hasn't been able to sing for over a decade.
If it's possible, Portnoy makes playing these drum parts look even easier now.
We take LaBrie for granted.
I’m not criticizing the singers who performed this (I watched it live, it was great).
But you can hear that no one can deliver the same energy James does.
Of course James recorded the original versions and is a lot more comfortable with the lines.
But damn, his singing is powerful and he hits some very high notes.
Saw them in 2014, way past LaBrie's prime, and he was amazing.
Diego Tejeida, orgullo mexicano!
Wow this guy plays The Glass Prison intro solo with alternate picking instead Sweep
He's excellent, you can hear the difference though. It sounds less fluid and a few notes even sound a tad forced. Not sure why he opted for alternate over economy picking.
No offence to any of these singers, who are all probably really good with their own stuff, but watching and hearing this in full really shows how good James LaBrie really is.
I am humoured by how they need three guitar players to cover the complexities of Petrucci's guitar parts, AND they need three (four?) vocalists to cover LaBrie's range and vocal diversity.
@@sirborges Fair point. I do hope we'll get to see the full suite being performed by DT themselves now that Portnoy is back in the saddle.
Eric Gillette is a fucking monster. He played the his parts so well.
Eric Gillette is such a brilliant guitarist
I’m so hopeful that the return to dream theater means this might happen with them.
All the guitarists are playing Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci Signature Guitars :D
Daniel Gildenlow was amazing.
This actually makes me really sad ;'(
If you listen to LaBrie singing live, that make you weep
What a beautiful solo on Repentence!
What a stage presence,from all
It takes three guitars to emulate Petrucci :P Awesome work. Happy to see Portnoy doing well. Sad he left Dream Theater.
It actually takes 3 guitarists to not have recorded stuff in playback ;)
No, that is completely unnecessary
It takes three vocalists to emulate LaBrie though
Awesome!
It would have been great if Mike shared his soundboard mix to insert in the video, if he had it!
Thank you so much for this editing!
No offense, but they should have just let Ross do the whole thing. He just fits that style and range much better.
B_Ontic I actually would love to see Daniel do the whole thing. I mean, the "I wanna feel your body shaking" from This Dying Soul was beyond anything I've ever imagined
Rodrigo Bogg It just doesn't sound like he has the range but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not super familiar with his work.
Gildenlow's range is awe inspiring. He just sounded like he was unprepared.. he probably isn't familiar with this music like Ross is. I would like to hear Gildenlow do the whole suite as well too personally.
Gildenlow stated in an interview that he had wrapped up his new album months ago and had just started preparing for his tour when Mike asked him to sing. He said it was very tough trying to prepare but he wasn't going to miss a second cruise. I feel if he had more preparation he would have been better. I would really like to hear a sound board recording of this cause a lot gets lost.
this repentance solo is absolute magic
I WAS THERE!!!!!
why not Russell allen on vocal ? he gonna take all that song to the new level
Because MP wanted to have Haken+Eric Gillette, so it would've been weird if he said "no" to Ross and brought another singer, no matter how good as Russell is..
this would be mindblowing!
What's wrong with his vocals , i like it a lot
@@headbangmmania5555 no one said he was bad
Because he wasn’t in the cruise.
Ted Leonard! nice!
Eric you are awesome. Perfect petrucci solos. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Repentance is the absolute highlight of this. Absolutely amazing.
Hell yeah I'm diggin it
I wish the vocals were captured a bit better. They're a lot lower than they should be, but we can't expect perfection from a fan cam. All that said, I don't think it's fair to judge the vocalists' performances based on this because they're not as loud as they should be. All else sounds good to me, at least for something that's not pro-shot!
Thanks for the video! A lot of us have been waiting years for this to finally happen. :)
No one makes any comments about Ted Leonard? He did a very good job!
Would have loved to be on that cruise. Id of been sooo jacked up!! 🤘🏼🍺
what a great concert, also for the ocean habitants ;)
Great vocals
dream theater cover, featuring mike portnoy,.. I'm speech less. 😂
Mike Portnoy + Haken + a bunch of singers = a good job!
I love how the guitars sound. The guitar players are really gifted!
P.S: It seems that Daniel Gildenlöw wasn't in a good day, plus it looks like he hadn't memorised the lyrics for "this dying soul".
Daniel Gildenlow has been struggling live for a couple of years already unfortunately
I believe he was unprepared and not familiar with the material. He wasn't a fan of DT by the way. Still awesome singer though. 😅
That moment when they need 3 guitarists to play Petrucci's parts!
(I know some sections do have 3 guitars, especially on TDS, but still...)
Love to see Dani G and Ted Leonard on here, but Gildenlöw was clearly not on his best day and TDS is not a song that particularly fits his style. For those of you out there that don't know Gildenlöw and Leonard, I recommend listening to their work with their respective bands (Pain of Salvation and The Flower Kings for DG; Enchant and Spock's Beard for TL), not to mention their guest appearances with Transatlantic.
I know that you're jk, but just to not confuse anybody, is good pointing out that they weren't 3 guitar players because the guy to cover was John Petrucci, but only because they simply were 3 guitar players.. They didn't need to be three, they just happened to be three.. ;)
Thanks for sharing, amazing performance. Part of me though feels sad for MP... that he has to play in a DT cover band, just to play tunes he wrote. I guess if he is happy thats what matters. thanks for sharing !! I hope this doesn't blow up, like the whole Queensryche lawsuits and stuff. That would be the worst possible outcome... as GREAT as all these tunes and musicians are.
The other thing here to is this video really immortalizes the content creator.... and shows the rest are imitators. Multiple imitators can't equal the one creator. Part of what makes Petrucci / DT such an amazing live experience for me is hearing how JP picks out what rhythm passage/tracks and what lead passage to play to complete the tune... so it still feels full, layered, and with such musical depth. Since JP obviously can't play 3-4 tracks all at once, he has to arrange guitar parts so its still just as impactful as the studio recording. IMHO in doing so often times the live DT performance is better (or more enjoyable) than the studio. Thats a huge part of the live experience kind of missing here... with so many players trying to re-create all the recorded tracks. Anyhow thanks again for sharing this!! \m/ \m/ \m/
It takes 3 guitarists to play Petrucci's parts. LOL.
Samurai Fingers jajajajajajaja INSANE!
excatly my thoughts! Wanna trade 1 Petrucci for 3 other guitarists? Deal!
Ignorant comment. There are multiple guitar parts on the studio mixes.
You're an ignorant comment. It's a fucking joke, moron.
I'm pretty sure hakken has three guitar players in the band so... they just divided it up
in the root of all evil omg its ted leonard from Enchant!!
I don't think there's one chick in that crowd.......
Nice!
all three guitarrists have Music Man JP guitars...... coincidence???? i don´t think so.....
The three of them like the sound of the guitars and thought it'd be cool to make a little homage to the big Johnny who's a clear influence for them..
I'd seen Eric Gillette playing alive and it won't be long he has his own signature guitar.
It's because all three are Petrucci fanbois.
Haken has been around long before this gig. They have always used Johns Signature guitars
mike is better than mike
Garry Pane id have to disagree. Mike would play circles around mike anyday
That joke got old about 7 years ago
woah you can't just say that
@@istolethisaccount g(old)
nice DT cover.
Here's hoping Sons of Apollo do the whole suite live one day
im sad so sad that mp is no longer in dt and i saw this i started crying
Holy shit
I'm curious what the sound is like being on the ocean with nothing around, and this is what dreamtheater would have probably recorded in a studio if Mike would ha e stayed. I always knew this would happen one day the shattered fortress is the baby brother of the real 12 step suite
Portnoy has the Terry Funk hair going now.
So one, I should look into Haken, two honestly I couldn't tell how badly Gildenlöw was doing because the guitars got too damn heavy XD
Haken is Dream Theater Two to me. They're just as good and their music is imo more enjoyable. Of course i still take old DT over any band.
42:30
Did I see it right you also included some of my footage?
Nice,, well done !!!!
Yeah that's right!.. Thank you for upload those vids, that angle is just something else.. ;)
The DT guys couldn't give this to Mike. It would've been so amazing and cathartic to play all this with the DT lineup. The whole thing is literally about the grieving and regret that one feels while getting over alcohol addiction, and moving on, asking for forgiveness, and forgiving yourself. You'd think someone would have a heart and play along for this at least...
Mike is awesome, not only as a musician, but an awesome person. I still love the guys in DT as musicians, but I can't say much of them as people.
Also, I love this, all of it, mistakes n all. Its fucking beautiful
Who were the guys at the back of the audience? They look like the were looking for the shuffleboard and found a concert instead...
There was a bit of a train wreck during the shattered fortress and many vocal issues. Highlight of the show was Mike and the excellent guitar work. 7/10.
Thanks for a memory Mike and happy 50th! Now go whip those boys into shape and do this show in Nashville please:)
Really wanna watch the video that plays during the instrumental section in Repentance. Where is it from?
In case you didn't find it: th-cam.com/video/OVoIckva180/w-d-xo.html
Servono tre chitarristi per fare un Petrucci impreciso?
To everyone saying they need 3 guitar players to equate Petrucci.
Most of DT's songs have at least 2 guitars tracked on their albums. Live they just don't play the backing tracks. So having 2 guitars would make live performances sound much more faithful to the albums.
That being said the guitarists performance IMO is pretty good and the technique of the soloist is much better and clean than what Petrucci can do live. Not trying to piss on Petrucci I'm a big JP and DT fan. But playing live is not easy, John's studios performances are super neat and tidy, but on the stage not so much. If you don't think so go back and listen to the glass prison live in Bucharest or other 12 step suite performances, and compare how the solos sound with this rendition. Again not trying to piss on anybody, Petrucci is an amazing guitarist, and he is one of my favorites. Just calling out everyone that is saying that this guys can't play as good as him.
What Petrucci has, is the merit of composing all of these amazing sounding guitar parts, and no super skilled guitar player may take that from him ever, but pretending that Petrucci is some kind of God that can never be beaten in performance is dumb and it needs to stop. Even Petrucci thinks this, just listen to the song Misunderstood from Sdoit, he wrote those lyrics.
Good comment.. But I think you're not considering the fact that, precisely, they're 3 guitar players, vs 1 guitar player which is Petrucci.. He doesn't sound so faithful to the studio versions of these songs because he CAN'T do it, because like you said, he use 2 (and sometimes even more) guitars to record this kind of songs.. Anyone is free to like a certain guitar player over another regarding live performances, but 3 against 1 is a bit unfair if you ask me..
@@147pablox Agreed but it's not a competition and that's the point. No need to compare them they are just different renditions. The "they 3 guitars= 1 petrucci" comments annoy me.
47:10 That guy filming with his iPad needs to learn some respect. It's one thing to have your phone out and filming, but to have a giant tablet out AND have the case hanging down & blocking the view of everyone behind him is not cool at all.
For what I've seen from that video/angle, he only lift it up and film with it two times and only for a few seconds, so I don't think anyone got bothered by him doing that.. ;)
@@147pablox Thanks for clarifying. Pretty sure someone would throw something at his iPad if he held it up for like an entire song or something.
Eric gillete is Petrucci jr for sure
Out of all the thousands of musicians Portnoy knows , thats the vocalist he wanted to rep 12 step suite with? mehhhh still unreal though. Closest thing we'll see to mike and dt
I'm surprised Portnoy didn't get Dominici to sing at his party. To everyone who complains about Labrie's voice, here's your evidence to the contrary. He's at least twice as good as all of these people, if not magnitudes better even when he's having a bad day.
Nowadays he barely has not so bad days.
seeing this makes me sad :(
Jack Griffo is mad on guitars
The sheer baldness
People are quite harsh about 3 guitars on the stage. I think Mike wanted to reach album sound without samples etc. For me 3 guitars there sound great. But vocals... No, it doesn't work...
Am i seeing 3 EBMM's?
Is Daniel GIldelow on Dying Soul?
Yes, that's him.
Great music! Sadly, they haven't managed to keep Steve Harris away from the editing bench.
I wonder if JP has seen this?
Three guys rocking his signature and his parts(I'm sure MP did not write the guitar lines) :-D
Still - job well done.
he's def seen this..and i've noticed DT has been playing 12step suite songs as well with mangini and i gotta say i think they sound better than this group of guys, even tho portnoy is behind the kit it just doesn't sound right..
Its Alcoholics ANONYMOUS Mike
Now they are Alcoholics Portnous.
Vocal were a little rough that night. Everything else was really good.
eric gillete is a monster! i think he could play technically as well than john ;)
Pain of Salvation, Haken and Dream Theater on one stage! I should be incredibly joyful, but I am not...
Now can haken fanboys shutup about how they "destroy DT"? They are playing DT music, not the other way around.
ToolandMAIDEN14 The importante thing is not to see it as some sort of competition.. This is music we're talking about, not a sport.. They're two separate bands that create amazing pieces of work and we should've nothing to do more than enjoy both.. ;)
Ehm shouldn't it start with 6 o'clock???
Mmm, no.. Why?..
Isn't that the first song written as a result of his alcoholism? I just realized that it came before he went to AA, but I regard it as the first song with that theme.
@@endze1613 No, that's The Mirror.. And they didn't play it in this show anyways.. BUT, I did still put it at the beginning; if you listen carefully you'll hear it..
Sorry my friend. My inference was based on REALLY old info I got from somebody. 6:00 indeed hasn't got anything to do with Portnoy's alcoholic exuberance :) At least that got cleared up! And yeah that intro is a nice touch!
I actually I like these vocals better!!
5 men to justify John Myung John Petrucci and even James Labrie.
P.S. listening to some dude singing Labries parts, not sure I enjoyed it Still PORTNOY
That's the band Haken with him on stage. They are excellent, just not DT material.
What is the third guitar for?
And by the way, the vocal is way better a lot than James LaBrie's.
John layered guitar tracks during most of the DT discography,and AA suite managed to have a good amount of of that.And I agree,the vocalists are better than Labrie
Oh, yes... Are so BETTER, than no One of them can pitch the high notes and brightness tone of JL.
No one is even close to LaBrie's part here.
They played it fast AF in the solos part around 10:00. That sucked
What?.. It's the normal speed..
Already compared it to the original. You're right. IDK why its sounds kind of lousy to me around that time
No hay duda, no es lo mismo. Falta Petrucci, Myung, Labrie y Rudess; sin ellos no suena igual.
Obvio.. De la misma forma que DT no suena igual sin MP, aunque la proporción es diferente desde ya..
Pablo Pallares : estamos de acuerdo.
All this does not make sense
This Dying Soul is just a nightmare to listen with the vocalist (don't know who that is tho)
That is Pain of Salvation's Daniel Gildenlöw. While he's one the most gifted (prog) rock singers in the world, if not THE most, that song doesn't fit his vocal style much and surprisingly ('cause he usually delivers) he apparently wasn't on his best day. I highly recommend checking out his work with PoS.
Yeah this is totally not Daniel's style. He can hit stronger and higher than that, he probably had an off day.
Gildenlow is an absolute monster vocally (and musically) but I'm guessing he really doesn't know this material.
He's Daniel Gildenlöw of Pain of Salvation. I guess he wasn't prepared much for this show, and although he's one of the greatest voices in Prog scene, he's not into that DT material. So this performance is far from his real capability. Check his band, his music, give it some spins, Daniel will blow your mind. And you will never be the same again 😁
what a fucking machine. Well Portnoy wrote the songs.... the other guy just play them badly.
Would be better with Mike Mangini on drums
idiot
hahahah I actually laughed XD
best comment ever ! hahahaha
yes, meaning Mangini join this band and Portnoy back in DT.
savage af
3 guitarristas = petrucci
This sounded better with James "I can't sing live" Labrie....
really? you must be deaf
you mean James "I can't sing at all" Labrie
He's 'tolerable' in the studio...but yes, he's not a very good singer in general. Why couldn't DT have gotten someone like Ray Alder?
I might be...but at least Labrie did all the vocals (other than Portnoy)...hell, Portnoy has to have 2 vocalists to do what Labrie did.
There are some bad performances of him on youtube, I agree. But I've seen DT perform live 2 times, both times he's was awesome. Sounded very good live.
On Ayreon he's also amazing, my girlfriend went to the human equation theater performance where Labrie was the main character. She thought he was the best of all the singers.
So I would like to give James the benefit of the doubt, as long as all my real life experiences of him are perfect.
son 3petrucis!!! es mejor mike portnoy...
Wow the vocals... I don't like
честно, .. не понимаю Портного, зачем делать клон Дрима и играть старый материал, тем более с таким исполнением... ладно бы сочиняли что то новое своё
this is mindnumbingly and heart shatteringly bad and unlistenable to.
You're welcome.
@@147pablox you're not the issue, it's the performance.
@@leeDs718 Well, is not that they're playing easy songs here. But yeah, is definitely not an excellent performance. Now, from there to being all of that... I think you're overreacting a little.
@@147pablox haha, right. just stick to the uploads. opinions will always flow around here.
@@leeDs718 You're not telling me what to do in my own videos, kid. Move on.
Sad... he has to use a lot of musicians to Play a 5 people piece of Music. but well, he owns it. he can play it When he wants.
I don't get how's that sad.. Also, he doesn't "have" to use them, he just happened to use them.. ;)
Both vocalists sucked, but the rest of the band was pretty good!
I was afraid I was the only who wasn't happy with vocals there...
I think it sucked on par with LaBrie, so kudos to them for having the courage.
