The intro of One Last Time as a guitar solo (02:25-02:43) The riff in E from The Dance of Eternity, vaguely similar to a riff at 07:16 rom the intrumental section of Metropolis (02:58-03:06). The verse riffs of the next track, Strange Déjà Vu, under a keyboard solo (03:08-03:34). The last notes of the song provide a transition into the next track (03:34-03:38).
How do people keep confusing your with you're. You basically just said, you are death won't be in vain. That is incorrect, work on your spelling buddy.
This very song is amazing.. it's so full of life, and the composition is just beautifull! I know it's a personal taste, but even this instrumental bit is full of emotion to me.
2022 this is still one of most beautiful song from Dream Theater. 2:27 i literally shed a tear. Kids nowadays will never know the true beauty of such music.
@@ksbtch1935He didnt say all kids. Its more common for kids now adays to listen to music such as rap, hip hop, modern pop, and other meaningless souless music. You just happen to discover this band and these genres. I would say 90% of kids at the age of 5 - 15 would hate this type of music. Which is sad. Thats what he meant I'm assuming.
dream theater has sprinkled snippets and riffs from all of their music through out all of their music. especially this album. but it does have connections to others song here and there. ultimately there is one big story being told. wonderful album and genius work. still my favorite album
I only wish the story itself was better told. 1998-99 was the year for cyberpunk/steampunk to thrive with films such as Dark City and The Matrix, along with psych thrillers like The Sixth Sense. Also in video games, Silent Hill(psych thriller)just came out, so DT had the potential to make an absolute massive splash in the mainstream. If only they weren't so pissed off from the FII studio sessions, then the story would have had much better continuity, instead of incessant and gluttonous instrumental sections that kill the pace of the story. The story does not move at all after "Fatal Tragedy" until "Finally Free". DT had a gold mine up its own sleeve. The setting was perfect from "Overture 1928/Strange Dejavu", followed well by "Through my words/Fatal Tragedy"..... and then they had to kill the story with instrumental orgies. Damn, they had such potential and rarely, ever realised it with this album.
This whole album is working on some other universe. It's as if they were in my head and hand-crafted every single note and pitch perfectly to the pleasure of my welcoming ears, mind, body, and soul. The greatest album ever made.
SFAM will be never beaten in our life time. Start to end, just a magical concept progressive journey. Their peak, their true masterpiece. Just the perfect blend of theme, melody and technique.
Despond Definitely not story telling though. Too many breaks in the story. Makes it feel like Portnoy didn't take literature class seriously at all. Operation:Mindcrime is a much better experience as a narrative, in my opinion.
This has a very OPERATION MINDCRIME vibe. This is my favorite album of theirs. Otherwise I harken back to my 1970's high school days and listen to the Allen Parson Project on vinyl. I ROBOT. Too cool.
1:51 my favorite aspect of DT is how they can fuze jazz and metal together so effortlessly, The guitar solo is absolutely insane, but if that piano were not in there this wouldn't hit as good
I learned about this track 9 years ago. Yesterday I searched for it all day and couldn't remember the name. Falling asleep last night I remembered it. Oh, I think that god exists ... God of MAGNIFICENT MUSIC!
Dream theater isn't a manufactured mess. They put real Emotion in their work and music. When i listen to their songs, i really feel as though I'm involved in the story somehow- its what dream theater has done with every single one of their albums, they know how to captivate/ capture a person and place them into the middle of the drama that is un-folding in their ears. People listen to dream theater because each song is different, each song has its own charm and responsibility.
The guitar is used in many genres to provide rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment to a voice or other instrument, or to fill in the harmony in a ensemble. The guitar is also used to perform solo parts either unaccompanied or with accompaniment from other instruments. So it's a solo.
Symphony X - Accolade II: 3:42 Metallica - To Live is to Die: 4:29 Dream Theater - Overture 1928: 2:26 Check those riffs out and tell me if they don't all sound uncannily similar!
Dude! You did such a great job on that one! and believe me, i'm not a kind judge, because i love Dream Theater beyond words, and you have my approval! tenfold! i like the way you made the guitar more snappy, it really complimented the power and the rythm that lies behind the whole song. (album, really)
I almost gave up playing the guitar because of John ... I thought that I could play everything I was listening to .... I spent countless hours trying to learn licks, I didn't stop playing to spend time with my kids and then one day I just realized there is very HARD work to get this level, but also a HUGE part of natural talent. I feel better now that I have lowered my aims a little bit, I can play Clapton stuff, Gary Moore and Santana stuff, Metallica tracks, and as such ... but I gave up Dream Theater, but I have all of their records !
man all that scale vs. solo arguing in the comments is hilarious ... it is so simple ... scales are the foundation for solos but solos aren't scales but simply notes from a scale arranged to form melodies... if all he was doing was playing a scale ascending and descending in a particular position then one might be able to argue a lack of creativity (but that is just not the case as we are listening to one of the all time creative forces ever; DREAM THEATER!!!)
1:36 - 1:52 "There must be the third and last dance This one will last forever Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taken you to your home."
Holy Shit! This just completely nuked my mind. Srs. Every time I used to listen to this song, I thought it was the perfect song that summed up the album as a whole. And then when I saw this comment, my entire mind had shattered through the process of connecting all the dots.
Ive never been a fan of metal and cant enjoy Metallica songs for example, and i kinda overlooked DT for some years. But now i realized they are essentially what i would like to hear in a “metal” song.
@happyfishya This is a follow-up to the song "Metropolis, Pt. I: The Miracle and the Sleeper" which is on the Images and Words album. Also a great album!
@dreamtheater142 No. The guitar is used for all that, but it's also for plenty of non-voice accompanying places. This song for example uses the guitar for the melodies rather than vocals. It also uses it for rhythm sections that don't have any vocals, but there's also solos played by the guitar as well. A melody line on a guitar doesn't count it as a true solo, but the melody.

Lyrics by : John Myung
Underrated 10 years old joke.
@@SimoneCalloni Exactly, lmao
Is this the origin?
This is funny but time has proven through the self titled album that Myung actually writes good lyrics
Not funny anymore. Very very old joke

+layelaye Also, the second guitar is from Home.
the metropolis guitar riff 7:17-7:22 at 3:00-3:02 or 3:04-3:07
The Dance of Eternity part also relates to Fatal Tragedy around 4:20 in that song
This comment alone proves that no other single Dream Theater album will be as good as this one
JP has the most expressive guitar playing style..... It's very beautiful.... The man has a special heart
Indeed!
And a very expensive guitar
@@prof_jesus Not that expensive. Really.
people in 1928 must have been like: "huh, dream theater"
1:35
"There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home"
I've listened to Dream Theater for 10 years and never picked that up. No wonder the guitar solo sounded familiar. Wow
It's a recurring motif in the Metropolis saga. It is also repeated in Home, in the second chorus, with "Victoria" in place of "Metropolis".
FFFFUCK ME!!!!YES!Mind blown!
That reference i picked up by myself, so cool
Maybe these kinds of reusing main(?) melodies through out the whole album is influenced by The Wall-Pink Floyd
0:27 Alright, this is it! Time revenge! You're death won't be in vain, Gohan!
How do people keep confusing your with you're.
You basically just said, you are death won't be in vain. That is incorrect, work on your spelling buddy.
@@realtoken I'm so confused....
Thumbs up if you're listening in 1928
Watching this in 1928 BCE.
Dafatal I'm listening TO 1928 lol
I wish I was born then it sounds great
Thumbs down because me listening in 2112
dark

I’m a kid and I love this song, don’t assume kids don’t like old music jeez
@@ksbtch1935I would say for most
C’mon, I’m 14 and I’m covering this song
@@ksbtch1935That and there's many an unrecognised (by the big music machine) artist making incredibly soulful music

@@anirudhviswanathan3986I'm 7 years late but thats an absolutely horrible take.
That guitar solo on 2:27 will never leave my head, neither do I want it to.
This whole album is working on some other universe. It's as if they were in my head and hand-crafted every single note and pitch perfectly to the pleasure of my welcoming ears, mind, body, and soul. The greatest album ever made.
My dad showed me this CD. I couldent stop playing it at least once a day
Man, I cannot get enough of 0:27, that riff is amazing.
Might be my favorite DT riff of all time.
Final Masterpiece of Progressive Metal Album in 20th Century
SFAM will be never beaten in our life time. Start to end, just a magical concept progressive journey. Their peak, their true masterpiece. Just the perfect blend of theme, melody and technique.
Despond
Definitely not story telling though. Too many breaks in the story. Makes it feel like Portnoy didn't take literature class seriously at all.
Operation:Mindcrime is a much better experience as a narrative, in my opinion.
Also final masterpiece of progressive rock in 20th Century
Bro forgot about the 12 step suite.
Haven’t listened to this song in 10 years but I still remember every bit of it. Such a good song.
I like how this opening hints to all the melodic themes to come later in the album
01:44 the guitar said "Victoria watches and thoughfully smile she's taking me to my home".
this song is a beast! sounds like a video game! Enjoyed making a reaction video to it!
That echo of Metropolis Part I at 0:06 always gives me shivers.
Two nights till the Boston show!
Very psyched!
My favorite part about this album is how every song flows into the next seamlessly.
And DEM SOLOS.
Still amazing, after all these years.. Great Harmony.
My marching band is performing this as our shows opener. It's gonna be fantastic!
Your Death Won't be in vain Gohan
2:25 I need more of this, this melody makes me fade away and forget all my problems and bad feelings, but it only lasts 20 seconds
Listen One Last Time, same melody extended ;)
@@joseluislefinaogomez9113 But sadly it's only the intro :(
Finally Free has the ultimate version
This has a very OPERATION MINDCRIME vibe. This is my favorite album of theirs. Otherwise I harken back to my 1970's high school days and listen to the Allen Parson Project on vinyl. I ROBOT. Too cool.

Dream theatre is the greatest band ever. Period.
Agreed, best band forever and ever.
And yes I am 14 years late lol
1:36 love the guitar solo, quiet hard time playing it on guitar thought!! DREAM THEATER! \m//
After all these years, I still have the lyrics memorized
This was in the Dragon Ball Z movie History of Trunks. Was wondering where I'd heard it before.
I learned about this track 9 years ago. Yesterday I searched for it all day and couldn't remember the name. Falling asleep last night I remembered it. Oh, I think that god exists ... God of MAGNIFICENT MUSIC!
This album is really awesome, every song is a masterpiece

The guitar is used in many genres to provide rhythmic and harmonic accompaniment to a voice or other instrument, or to fill in the harmony in a ensemble. The guitar is also used to perform solo parts either unaccompanied or with accompaniment from other instruments. So it's a solo.
My favourite part is from 0:00 - 3:37 and the 73 minutes 29 seconds from the rest of the album
Symphony X - Accolade II: 3:42
Metallica - To Live is to Die: 4:29
Dream Theater - Overture 1928: 2:26
Check those riffs out and tell me if they don't all sound uncannily similar!
if you can enjoying this song, you have great taste great sense of music bro
O.O that was... amazing.
Go get those Androids Trunks.
Dude, we totally love you
jajajajaja
Great song.
Man, just never get sick of this band, they are fantastic!
Y no podré alejar nunca de mi cabeza el inicio de SCENES FROM A MEMORY... Tremendo disco.
GLORIOUS
Dude! You did such a great job on that one! and believe me, i'm not a kind judge, because i love Dream Theater beyond words, and you have my approval! tenfold! i like the way you made the guitar more snappy, it really complimented the power and the rythm that lies behind the whole song.

One of the few tracks in which you cannot decide which air instrument to play!

Don’t give up on this track, i wah in your place but with a little patience and everyday work (30 min) u can play this in some week
Please Gohan, take me with you!!
Gohan : Alright trunks you win let's go get em
@AgurkTomatGulerod Absolutely true. Couldn't think of any other inspiration in this brilliant work.
This jam never gets old I promise you
Better than Dance of Eternity. Don't know why everyone only praises that one to death.
Stream of consciousness...is the best instrumental creation of them,probably...
Because it has 108 time signature changes. Making it extremely hard to play.
Don't forget Erotomania
i guess no one's gonna talk about hell's kitchen 😔
Dream Theater - Overture 1928 (opening)
Dream Theater - Strange de ja vu (middle)
Dream Theater - Octavarium (last)
Like a Movie song, you must try!
Grazie per tutta questa fantastica Poesia!! Dream Theatre Never Die!!❤ #italia 2018
20 years ago, a masterpiece was recorded.

1:52
Just... yes.
1:36 - 1:52
"There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home."
20 years later and this song still kicks ass!!!
I'll Come back in 2028.
Uma BANDA perfeita. Técnica, rítimo.. tudo de Bom!!!
Epic...just epic.....
The very first song I heard that got me into Progressive due to a friend. Fell in love with this album as a whole.
@nelboy123 "There must be the third and last dance, this one will last forever..." (1:36 - 1: 52) OMG, I've noticed this... that is awesome xD
Future Trunks babyyyyy 15 years later since i first discovered DBZ
This is Dream Theater's Sound of Perseverance and ...And Justice for All, the pinnacle of their work, fucking amazing.
Holy Shit! This just completely nuked my mind. Srs. Every time I used to listen to this song, I thought it was the perfect song that summed up the album as a whole. And then when I saw this comment, my entire mind had shattered through the process of connecting all the dots.
just amazing.
This melody gives me Sonic Adventure vibes 💫
Future Trunks brought me here
This song is just so plain awesome! Love Dream Theater!
1:36 goosebumps.
Portnoy Come back!!!
Although I love Portnoy, Mangini is a great drummer, and did a great job on Distance over Time.
2:25 Like Going to fly,,,,
Metropolis pt.2 è il mio album preferito a forza di ascoltare il cd l'ho consumato...un capolavoro! che mondo sarebbe senza dream theater??
very good music
Ive never been a fan of metal and cant enjoy Metallica songs for example, and i kinda overlooked DT for some years.
But now i realized they are essentially what i would like to hear in a “metal” song.
The chorus of Strange Deja Vu directly followed by the Finally Free solo by Petrucci is so freaking epic!
you have one of the greatest youtube comments ever. congratulations.
This is the music playing in the time machine when you go right back to Friday 27th January 1928.
One week for the Arizona show!!! Have not seen them since the images and words tour.
In the Anime "History of Trunks", This is when Gohan tries to push Trunks into Super Saiyan.
One of the first places I heard DT. Or at least the one that I really got to learn about them from afterwards
i hope every anime dies
Matheus Edgy
wait now hold up this song actually plays like in the anime? if it did that must have been sick
God damn this song is amazing
mamma I wanna be Rush? nah
I can’t turn my back on these people!
@happyfishya This is a follow-up to the song "Metropolis, Pt. I: The Miracle and the Sleeper" which is on the Images and Words album. Also a great album!
THIS IS MIND BLOWING (GOD IS GOOD )ALL THE TIME
its great T_T
The Best:)
The Beginning is a bit similarity of The Dance of Eternity(Especially the drums and a bit of the guitar riff).
Anyways! Awesome! :))
The history of trunks
top pra caranba
2:34 - 3:25 Sublime Movement.
That little lick around 1:58 is freaking amazing.........
everyone should respect eveyone's different music interests. that means no insulting this type of music or r&b either. its all opinion ppl!
anyone who does not know the meaning of overture cannot fully fully appreciate this song :P
