There have been few guitarists in my 65 years that do to me what Steve Morse does. When he emotes on the guitar it's like a tuning fork that shakes my Soul. It shakes my inner core. It's the power of his tremolo, the notes that he plays, the bends, the tone - I just shiver and sometimes tears come to my eyes. THANK YOU, STEVEN!! I first experienced back in 1968 or 69 when I heard Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watch Tower" (Bob Dylan). It was Epic, Cinematic, JRR Tolkein - Lord Of The Rings. It has happened now and then to me. It has happened to me consistently since 1978 when I first discovered The Dixie Dregs. I am addicted to Morse's compositions and playing.
I saw Steve Morse playing with Deep Purple in 2020 right before the pandemic hit. He was one of my favorite guitarists when I discovered the Dixie Dregs and now even more so. The comment you wrote about the sound he gets from his guitar sums it up perfectly. His sense of melody and the beauty of his solos makes him one of the best playing today and in the history of guitar players. I am writing this a year later because Flying Colors is just about to release a new live album and following the videos led me to this video. Great stuff.
Steve Morse has been blessed by God Almighty - knew that since he was a young man in the Dixie Dregs, and its been confirmed again and again over the years - he is likely an Angel.. As for Neal, he is a great Elder and a mighty Saint of God for our times. Mike Portnoy is our modern day St. Peter.
What a genius,... not following the lead... but showing how such a common instrument can be p,aged in such a fresh and different style ... creative thinking and talent combined....what an amazing band on,y discovered them today 😊😊😊
"Underrated" meaning that "Flying Color's" isn't given the respect the deserve because of who they are and who they've worked with before. I think anyone who took the time to listen to this from start to finish knows how amazing they are. The rest of the world needs to know this too. Neal Morse is a stunning keyboardist - check out some early Spock's Beard. He's amazing and every bit as good (maybe better) than Banks, Wakeman, Downs, Moraz and a host of other progged keyboardists you may have heard.
@@d.r.mathias9648 cool 😎 ..i was sold when i saw him play with Deep Purple for the 1st time & got to know the beautiful tone & playability of MusicMan through Morse & Petrucci
Ron Thompson, Randy Rhodes and Neal Schon ruled guitar in the early days when Scott Joplin brought popularity to blues like music. The new music has been a large celebratory event for many millions of people. But new musicians are now pushing the sounds of rock into higher dimensions.
Everything about this band and the songs they do are absolutely inspiring. The vocal harmonies and musicianship are flawless. I cant get enough of this stuff. Amazing
to me, it sounds like he RE-RECORDED it in the studio, later. NO WAY is that a live vocal: there's NO fluctuations at all. (Not even the most skilled singer can make it sounds as SMOOOTH as studio.) Remember: all "live" albums have massive overdubs etc. (Even the crowd noise is fake on most!)
As if Portnoy could get any hotter... Really enjoyed this. Everyone here is so talented. And yeah, those harmonies omg 😍 Thanks for uploading this gem!
June is still one of my favorite Spock’s Beard songs. Interesting choice, pairing Repentance and it together. In retrospect, the last two songs of the Twelve Step Suite are my least favorites. Repentance and Shattered Fortress didn’t have the passion that Glass Prison, Dying Soul and Root of All Evil had in them.
There are comments about Mike Portnoy on autotune or pitch correction in this performance... But man, if you search raw materials with MP singing, he sounds just the way he did here...
I'm sure John was stoked his guitar hero covered one of his songs and ripped a killer solo of his own. Steve plays like Steve, and John like John, I would expect nothing else.
@@MartyDTVP Yes, and even too much, according to the rest of the band and I think they were fed up with this roar, which was unbearable for James LaBrie - Static Impulse (2010, InsideOut Music)
@@zicobonafonte8327 interesting... I guess with a band consisting of possibly some of the best musicians of our time... and James LaBrie... there would be some differences in opinion on how things should sound...
Repentance Part is actually very cool, portnoy singing like that is just insanely great ! But the solo sound shit to me, the JP one sound so much better
Had to scroll so far down to find someone who noticed this! It does sound like his vocals were re-done in post production. A little disappointed. He's usually a stickler for keeping doing things live and keeping them as is. Maybe his vocal part didn't turn out well during the live recording.
I bet Mike Mangini can't sing three-part harmony. Score another one for Portnoy! :-) What are the chances that one of the best drummers of all time is also a half-way decent vocalist? Amazing.

This song sounds much better with MP singing. That harmony!!! wow!
It's his song.
in this Mp3 version one can not always hear every man singing. So I assume, it's much better with lower downrates or lesser mastering! 😘
Steve Morse was Perucci's idol when he was young, now seeing Morse covering a song by Petrucci is pretty amazing!
Cheers! I had the exact same thought :) Plus Steve is playing with Petrucci's old time friend and drummer :) The world of musicians is a small one :)
Repentance was written by
Portnoy It is one of the five songs of his Twelve-step Suite. It is DT music, but Portnoy's lyrics, not Petrucci.
@@danox2676 He meant the solo...
for real
Dano X check your facts. Music by Dream Theater (JP, JR,MP and JM)
Only the lyrics are by MP
Just imagine Petrucci hearing an interpretation of his music by one of his biggest heros. Imagine the joy! Steve killed by the way!

Portnoy sings Very well, this Band is fantastic!
A lot of people knock his singing, but he really adds character.
@@donmcbass he might not be an exceptional singer but he did just fine here
It's autotune all the way, but sounds good anyway.
My god, the harmony... Inspirational!
reminded me of pagans mind
was so damn good
Dave is an amzing bass player
The best of contemporary prog what great songs beautifully preformed!
Great songs ! God bless you !
I can only imagine what JP would feel about this: how proud does one feel when one’s idol covers a song one’s written 😄
Man, what a SUPER BAND these guys are... Flawless, as simple as that
A great Spock’s Beard song. Perfect harmonies!

Love it. Feeling a little Floyd vibe in there. First time hearing MP sing. Great
Loved this. What an amazing group of sheer talent.
it's my drummer, artist and my soul! my Portnoy!
What a genius,... not following the lead... but showing how such a common instrument can be p,aged in such a fresh and different style ... creative thinking and talent combined....what an amazing band on,y discovered them today 😊😊😊
Wow. This helped me so much. God bless these guys.
If there ever was a Super Group: These guys qualify‼️
Morse; Larrue; Morse; Portnoy and Cassie Mac❗
That's a world class line up‼️
...love this Band.Perfect harmony
I usually dislike when people change the original song on live versions but damn that solo.....m
They should do the whole 12 Step Suite.
Underrated? It's Steve Morse & Mike Portnoy for crying out loud! Ever heard of Dixie Dregs & Dream Theater??

And under rated considering the shite that is mainstream

best June version ever thank you guys ! i am borned in June
great musicians ! love this music !!!
That was awesome. The harmonies were glorious!

I just love this band
Love MP's voice here.
What a coincidence that Steve Morse and Niel have the same uncommon last name and here they are.
they also invented the morse code
@@rogerjonson8142 Psh, obviously...😉
absolutamente genialllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
...this is probably the most underrated band on this planet
Pure magic....
Fantastic
This is so mesmerizing, I almost forgot to hit like :)
this here my friend is music at it's finest. ( mainly the 2nd half with June)
Amazing!
Everything about this band and the songs they do are absolutely inspiring. The vocal harmonies and musicianship are flawless. I cant get enough of this stuff. Amazing
S - O A - M - A - Z - I - N - G ! ! !
This is just a fantastic band and wonderful music!
Magnificent music.
Portnoy actually sounds awesome with pitch correction on the live signal here
to me, it sounds like he RE-RECORDED it in the studio, later. NO WAY is that a live vocal: there's NO fluctuations at all. (Not even the most skilled singer can make it sounds as SMOOOTH as studio.)
Remember: all "live" albums have massive overdubs etc. (Even the crowd noise is fake on most!)
@@dumpygoodness4086 Gotta agree with you, it sounds awesome but this is clearly done in a studio with some pitch correction
It's amazing what bands like gentle giant in pfm started! And don't forget the American band crack the sky!
Casey has so much range and soul in his voice
god damn hes awsome
I don't know why this should've been sung by MP in the original version. This version is so awesome!!
The best of times demo version with him on vocals is better than labrie's version too
How have I never heard this before tonight?!?!?!
powerful stuff
Mike Portnoy 🤘
I've very disappointed that I barely discovered this today.
Me too
Beautifull
De arrepiar esse solo que Steve Morse tocou na primeira canção.
So Fine... Great band. I hope to see them someday.
what more coud you ask for. this is brillant
As if Portnoy could get any hotter...
Really enjoyed this. Everyone here is so talented. And yeah, those harmonies omg 😍
Thanks for uploading this gem!
So good.......
Maaan, what a symphony they have there..
Portnoy is fantastic!

Funny, I think Repentance and Shattered Fortress are my favorite ones from the suite.

this is awesome
June. Crosby , Stills, Nash & Young? This band can do anything and everything to perfection
June is a Spock's Beard song. Check out their live version.
THE TUNE IS A SHAMELESS RIP OFF of The Rain Song, Dear Prudence, etc. NOT COOL stealing from others.
wow!!!
June a Spock's Beard's ckassic tune. Good times of Neal Morse.
magnificent
Is it weird that I find that Portnoy sounds 100000 better than Labrie?
Low note??? Agree.... But labrie have wide vocal range that portnoy cant do...
no no and no
The great show!
You are love.
loved
Quién cantaba el gran mp super rola
Maaaaaaan Mike singing omg
🔥🤘🏼👏🏼
"Repentance" would have fit perfectly on "A Perfect Circle"'s "13th step" album. Has that feel....and the lyrics would fit well too.
It would!
Best!
dave la rue, usted toca mi coracion
Mike Portnoy is a blessing.
OMG
Only Steve Morse is allowed to not do Petrucci's solos and have it be good.
Damn TH-cam adds in the middle of the guitar solo.. wtf? they sure know how to spoil good art and give people a shitty user experience.
Wish Steve kept Petrucci's solo. It's perfect.
Steve's was perfect too
Agreed, it was too much of a diversion and didn't sound as good
I'm sure John was stoked his guitar hero covered one of his songs and ripped a killer solo of his own. Steve plays like Steve, and John like John, I would expect nothing else.
Neal Morse is awesome
Portnoy singing harmony on June, pretty good (actually amazing)
How fucking good is June!?!?!
Wow now i know how influential is petrucci
Shtëë Kina he influenced his influence hahah
OMG :-D
As pessoas confundem essa grande banda por causa do nome com a living colour que também é uma grande banda
No No
autotune
Great bass solo by Dave LaRue but why did Portnoy choose Repentance of all Dream Theater songs to cover?
Repentance=Opeth
DT
@@Farkasm i mean... Repentance is an opeth-style song😉
RIP Jonh Petrucci solo.
Podia ter pego o solo neh, improvisar tudo jah eh preguiça
Fourteenth step. Anyone?
The autotune throws me off a little, but still very emotional performances!
Portnoy left Dream Theater to be able to sing ?????
He sang a LOT in DT.
@@MartyDTVP Yes, and even too much, according to the rest of the band and I think they were fed up with this roar, which was unbearable for James LaBrie - Static Impulse (2010, InsideOut Music)
@@zicobonafonte8327 interesting... I guess with a band consisting of possibly some of the best musicians of our time... and James LaBrie... there would be some differences in opinion on how things should sound...
much better than Labrie
I prefere the vocals of this version than original.
I'm nothing the only one...I guess..
My new-found preference for DT vocals:
1) Portnoy
2) Myung
3) The audience
4) Labrie
Why?
Repentance Part is actually very cool, portnoy singing like that is just insanely great ! But the solo sound shit to me, the JP one sound so much better
I disagree, Steve's solo is so much better!
Well, steve's solo is improvised, so...
@@markcummins6438 they're just different... it's not a competition !!!
I downvoted you so hard, I think I broke my mouse.
Mark Grasela - Lol!!!!
Is portnoy using autotune?
Had to scroll so far down to find someone who noticed this! It does sound like his vocals were re-done in post production. A little disappointed. He's usually a stickler for keeping doing things live and keeping them as is. Maybe his vocal part didn't turn out well during the live recording.
A bit
I bet Mike Mangini can't sing three-part harmony. Score another one for Portnoy! :-) What are the chances that one of the best drummers of all time is also a half-way decent vocalist? Amazing.
And amazing lyricist as well. Love comments like that ^^
McScott76 oh enough mangini is awesome
don henley, phil collins are decent singers behind the kit (forgot Nick D'Virgilio)
When Portnoy can sing better than LaBrie
Vocals sound almost too good to be live tho
Stil better than grandma Labrie
Ra ! You are high
