Was listening to this when my father past away, very Underrated this song help me a lot , still ball when I hear it, I know he is not suffering anymore I just wish I could see him one more time.
Xaivier M. Sinclaire Don’t worry man, you will find him! Believe me! Don’t you remember of the DT’s song? “Remember that death is not the end but only a transition.”
How do you know he is not suffering from regret and loss in the afterlife? Do you feel he has found peace? Did he visit you and tell you? Remember that we are immortal, only the body/personality is mortal.
God Bless Dream Theater!! Thank God there are musicians that can play music with such passion and integrity! As a musician myself I just can't be but in awe of the skills and soundness of the different tones and vibes they can produce! Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
This is such an excellent performance but I can't help but LOL at the guy singing in the background.... hahaha he completely spoils yet makes the video!
A married man, almost 35 and I can still find something that makes me shed some tears. I hope these guys last at least as long as the Rolling Stones ;-)
It's crazy to think that I was center-stage about 5 rows back at this very show and that it's been almost *13 years* since then, as I can remember every moment in pretty great detail. This is a great rendition of the song, merging the demo version (which the band prefers and plays on recent tours, but IMO is fairly "80s Power Ballad") with the studio version that has a great Peter Gabriel-type vibe and was something they'd never tried before...
Yeah! I heard him! He's just rockin' out! I dunno, that strikes me as one of the coolest things that can happen when you make music... you inspire others to do the same.
Take away my pain Let the cold inside It's time to let it rain There's nothing left to hide Take away my pain I'm not frightened anymore I'm learning to survive Without you in my life Til you come knocking at my door
Que gran banda .... siempre me recuerda quien soy.... aunque ahora este separado, e intentando encontrar el maldito camino de vuelta a mi vida... Esta banda siempre me hace recordar lo que soy...
Amazing performance by James, but once in a live time cd has the greatest version of this song,added a brilliant saxophone too!Dream Theater lyrics and Rush lyrics beats any lyrics of any band forever!
No, it is also on the live album 'Once in a livetime', even with Jay Beckenstein playing the sax (just like he did on Die Another Day from the album Images and Words).
@Iszil Interesting how fandom is, as FII has always been close to the top of DT releases to my ears. It very much has a good percentage of their "prog" side in NM, HK, LITS, JLMB & TOT but also is their most "experimental" CDs with quote-"Pop Songs"-unquote in YNM, HY & AL which all all gorgeous songs. IMO it takes just as much musical skill to write a quality 3 1/2 minute "Pop Song" - see Porcupine Tree, Kevin Gilbert, or Spock's Beard - than it does to make a 10+ minute "Epic Song".
Who the hell is singing near the camera? I wouldn't take a guitar and start playing along at a DT gig, especially not in a song like this. Quiet, people, and let amazing guys do amazing things.
Theodore n Vlad I kind of regret that comment a bit; when someone complains about people laughing while filming stuff they later upload I think they're being ungrateful as fuck. Bit hypocritical of me to do the same thing here. And yeah, he's hitting those notes pretty good!
Abel reis carvalho See my subsequent comment for regret at my dickishness :) And he was good. But hell, I'd have been annoyed if I was at the gig and another singer by my ear was drowning out Jamie.
Trust me, when you're at a concert you won't be able to hear the person near you, unless he has some sort of device to enhance his volume. That's what I can tell from what I've experienced so far, at least.

the backing vocals from the people, is awesome.
I think its just one dude who can sing really well
ROBERTO AMBROSIO that was petrucci's father's voice
We all do this in Austria
"You can take away my heroes, but can you take away my pain?"
Truer words were never spoken.
Was listening to this when my father past away, very Underrated this song help me a lot , still ball when I hear it, I know he is not suffering anymore I just wish I could see him one more time.
god bless
Xaivier M. Sinclaire Don’t worry man, you will find him! Believe me! Don’t you remember of the DT’s song? “Remember that death is not the end but only a transition.”
You will one day, I promise :)
How do you know he is not suffering from regret and loss in the afterlife? Do you feel he has found peace? Did he visit you and tell you? Remember that we are immortal, only the body/personality is mortal.
James is my all time favorite singer. He is just so damn amazing how he always captures the feelings to the words he sings. Its magic.
That guy singing in the background is awesome! :D
Hahaha I was going to say the exact same thing dude
I was just going to comment on that! That is some serious pipes on those vocals!
Jajajja who is it?
that would be seriously annoying as hell to stand next to during the concert though
Who is the guy singing along?
The vibrato from his voice is awesome
the guy in the crowd singing in the background f-ing rules!!!!
Touching version of one of the greatest DT songs...
JP wrote this to his dad. RIP to his dad
Someone in the audience ROCKS at singing.
I can never make it through this song without completely losing it. Way too real.
Very touching song, my grandmother passed away recently, and this song means much more now.
5 years and counting. i miss you dad. i love you.
ı listened the masterpiece when my grandmother died, now i am listening after what i did to my father...
Unbelievable song. Exquisitely emotional.
for me DT is one of the great Rock ballad makers of all time..every ballad they make just captures me..
Amazing voice ,god bless James LaBrie
for all his bashers, Labrie absolutely nails this performance. He sounds great here
God Bless Dream Theater!! Thank God there are musicians that can play music with such passion and integrity! As a musician myself I just can't be but in awe of the skills and soundness of the different tones and vibes they can produce! Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
This song is simply amazing, I never get tired of D.-T. Their music has helped me through so much. So inspiring
Loved james voice on this, so soft and powerful. The colors of the guitar are awesome too. :)
This guitar is truly SOMETHING!
I love how John went back to this look with his hair except now he is also an absolute unit. Truly inspiring
This is such an excellent performance but I can't help but LOL at the guy singing in the background.... hahaha he completely spoils yet makes the video!
A married man, almost 35 and I can still find something that makes me shed some tears. I hope these guys last at least as long as the Rolling Stones ;-)
Que música mais linda!!! Não conhecia!!! Obrigada por partilhar... Amábille:-)
Whenever i hear this song, my dad will come in my mind. Miss my hero a lot…
who is the guy that sing along?it's incredible
Beautiful song, it reflects exactly like how i feel at this time =(
Wow this song is incredible I was looking for a live video of it for soooooo long...absolutely great
Eu procurei e achei hj, amigo.
I don't think anyone would have imagined he had gone through a vocal rupture because he nails this song. LaBrie is just so great.
Yes I'm seeing them in concert and meeting them backstage today!!!
I love this song, for the time being it's my favorite.
Underrated DT Song!
OMG it's out of this world. So effin awesome
This version touches me so much more than original recording
great song, great guitar, great drums, great bass, great voice, great keys, great band!
Thanks for uploading this!
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. This version is especially heart wrenching.
What a song!!!
What a meaning!!!
Makes me cry!!!
the memory of my life...
The solo on this one is closer to the album version than to the demo version. It blended very well, I love it.
The guy singing is fantastic ,very feeling
What a great song! This band is epic!
To all of my fallen heroes that I never got to see live... Chester... Chris... Kurt... Paul... and so many more... life is cruel... too cruel...
Yes, this album is very underrated, especially as compared to Scenes from a Memory, not to mention the recent ones which are far less inspired.
this band like never ever ever let me down EVER
just amazing!
It's crazy to think that I was center-stage about 5 rows back at this very show and that it's been almost *13 years* since then, as I can remember every moment in pretty great detail.

Perfect performance!
This song is a feels fest
This song is one of the most beautiful ever.
i love this song!!!!
This song is beautiful.....i'm crying now x x
this song is beautiful...
Yeah! I heard him! He's just rockin' out! I dunno, that strikes me as one of the coolest things that can happen when you make music... you inspire others to do the same.
Man that solo is simple and short but it's just amazing
Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It's time to let it rain
There's nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened anymore
I'm learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door
this is a wonderful performance!!!
and great video too ;)
love it
It brings me sooo many memories..
DT's best song Ever !
me too, I'm stuck on this song lately, even tough I hated the song when I heard the album long ago, now it's one of my favourite emotionally
My alltime favorite by them Still a timeless classic !!!
Now that you mention it, I remember noticing that. Very cool...
Music in the Best For Background Singing...very very awesome.
such a beautiful song, remainds me so much of my granpa :,(
i totally agree with you!! He is amazing!
The chorus in the beginning made me cry due to LaBrie's vocals.....Awesome song.....
Que gran banda .... siempre me recuerda quien soy.... aunque ahora este separado, e intentando encontrar el maldito camino de vuelta a mi vida... Esta banda siempre me hace recordar lo que soy...

No, it is also on the live album 'Once in a livetime', even with Jay Beckenstein playing the sax (just like he did on Die Another Day from the album Images and Words).
...you can feel the pain in his voice...it takes one hell of a lot of talent to pull it off as well as Petrucci has in this song...
Wow... so good.
So amazing!!! lml
Love this song
i love this song
wow i remember this show....I was there!!!
I hope that they will play this song again someday!!! Also that ibanez is so freaking awesome!!!
BEAUTIFUL SONG. DT 4 EVER
amazing song...
Man you know that must be tough for JP to play this song live, being about his dad and stuff. It's pretty powerful song.
Now I has a sad :(
Greatest band ever! Dream Theater FTW!
I know the attempt at commercialization but I still love this album
John,I feel with you!!!

Please.. don't let it rain..
I first saw this video when it was uploaded in 2007!
I loooooooove soooo muuuch this song it's so woooow jejeje
So much better than a studio version...
the way portnoy enters with his unique rolls is simply amazings. I love the fractions that he plays.... really innovative..
i didnt know it was written by and was about the guitar players father. it brings alot of perspective and meaning to me now. great song!
Who the hell is singing near the camera? I wouldn't take a guitar and start playing along at a DT gig, especially not in a song like this. Quiet, people, and let amazing guys do amazing things.
hey, at least he's not horrible
