This show was in Boston where Berkeley School of music is, and all of the orchestra and the singers behind them are students from that school. DT went to school at Berkeley back in the day. Cool...😎
I'm incredibly impressed by the fact you allowed yourself to be emotionally moved by this song. Most men would hide that. That tells me you have deep humanity in you. Music moves me like that, too. I tear up every time I hear this song. Thank you for being real. This was an outstanding reaction!
the orchestral section gets me every time! It was written by the conductor who was a student at Berklee at the time ... the entire orchestra was students!!!
The lyrics in the last part are some of the best and most utterly truthful lines I've ever read. John Petrucci (the guitarist that wrote the lyrics to that masterpiece) is just a genius. Such a humble and nice man too. For the next songs you should listen (there are so so many): Heavy: The Glass Prison, The Dark Eternal Night, This Dying Soul (live at Budokan) Instrumental: The Dance of Eternity, Stream of Consciousness (live at Budokan), Erotomania Epic: Octavarium, In The Presence of Enemies both parts! (live chaos in motion) Ballad/mellow: The Spirit Carries On, The Best of Times (best solo ever trust me) A mix of everything: Breaking All Illusions,Metropolis part 1, The Ministry of Lost souls They have dozens and dozens of truly incredible songs and a large discography with 14 albums.
Must hear dream theater more often. DT is one of THE most technical and sentimental bands I know. Listening to their music is more than just listen, is feeling and enjoying high quality of music. Some must listen songs: The Glass Prision The Count of Tuscany Octavarium A Change of Seasons The Best of Times Whole Metropolis pt2 album And all other songs :D
Yes!!! Ever since I saw you react to The Shattered Fortress I said to myself, "wait until you react to Illumination Theory from the same concert"... and here you are! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do every time I see them (I've seen them live like 11 or 12 times, I lost count!). James Labrie's voice live can sometimes be off, but he killed it in this concert. And don't get me started on my idol John Petrucci...
That's a keytar! There are a lot of "inspirational" songs on this album. "Surrender to reason" is lyrically almost religious and there are references to "grace" all over this album. Another song I love on this album is "The Bigger Picture". I get chills at the end of it.
How are you feeling? Another of my favorite TH-camrs disappeared for a month and turns out he was fighting for his life in an ICU in Serbia with Covid (Bald and bankrupt). Here in Iceland only 10 people died from it but sadly one of them was a good friend of mine. We have it pretty much eliminated by now fortunately. At the same time we are opening the borders a bit but everyone has to take a Covid test when entering.
Hearing this for the first time few years back i cried my heart out, the mid section and part 5 , the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks , had a servere burn out in 2004 and i had to fight to where i am today and the lyrics are so true , DT is the only band which can make awesome music with everyday's life lyrics people can relate to.
Man, that’s awesome that you’ve been preaching that suffering/joy idea. It’s funny because when I first heard this song, I was one of the ones who thought that line sounded too cliche, and was stated too plainly. But over the years I came realize that not every line needs to be spiced up with metaphors and subtlety, and now I love the line as well
The ending of this one and the solo to "spirit carries on" always make me weep with happiness. 😅... live it's even harder 😅. Gonna see them in San Antonio in this 2025 tour.
The walking piano is called a keytar. Pretty awesome song hey! Took me a few years to really appreciate this band but i think they're just so freaking cool. Huge library of songs to digest aswell.
I've always misheard the last verse. Well maybe I have, but not sure. I always heard it as: Until you've struggled through the dark You'll never know that you're alive Either way, its some of their more powerful lyrics.
More Dream Theater please. Here are 10 songs that I would recommend, there is a lot more but these are some of my favourites :D Take the time At wits end Learning to live The best of times Fall into the light The ministry of lost souls A rite of passage Pale blue dot Voices Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper (not recommended until you get a feel for Dream Theater)
This was fun and amazing, bro. I love the lyrics of the song too and I can definitely share a similar testimony. "To really feel the joy in life You must suffer through the pain When you surrender to the light You can face the darkest days If you open up your eyes And you put your trust in love On those cold and endless nights You will never be alone Passion glows within your heart Like a furnace burning bright Until you struggle through the dark You'll never know the joy in life" Beautiful!!! 😭🤟🏻❤
Dream Theater is KNOWN for crafting some EPIC length songs. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is ONE SONG in about 8 different parts lasting a total of over 45 minutes just by itself.
You've just scratched the surface with Dream Theater my friend!! So much great stuff to recommend. Try Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence next.
soilwork death diviner Within Temptation - Our Solemn Hour (Black Symphony) within temptation endless war within temptation mercy mirror Shatter Me Featuring Lzzy Hale - Lindsey Stirling Airbourne - Blonde, Bad And Beautiful
You should hear Dream Theater with their original drummer, Mike Portnoy. He's probably the greatest drummer on the face of the earth. Please react to In The Presence of Enemies Parts one and two from the Chaos in Motion tour. It's INSANE!!
Just to say, wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments about looking back on negative events and moments in your life and reframing them into something positive. It’s hard to realise it when you are in that moment and the thick of it, but it’s true. And now that I do realise it, I’m more prepared to shrug off negative moments in my present with an “it could be worse / ah but it’s not as bad as that time” attitude. Appreciate your videos and I sincerely wish you well on your journey.
Little late to this react... But Yeah .... Listen to More Dream Theater !!!! Their Music is beyond belief ,, as well as lyrics.. and very inspirational !!!! Been a Fan for over 25 years !! You WILL DIG them Mr. RnR ! Cheers!!!
You can't go wrong with DT, but if you choose to listen to Metropolis Part 2, you gotta do it in full, and I'll be the first one here to experience that with you bro. You won't regret it.
One of the most underrated bands out there. They should have been way bigger (not that they weren't) than they were. Rocking out from the mid 80s and i still get told DT who as i slap my forehead lol.
Wow, heard this for the first time! Great, as anything, that comes from DT, i really should detect that band a little more! And yeah, you did the perfect reaction, just the same as i've done. Just making big eyes, jumpin around and bang that head... :'D Hey dude, keep care and recover! The world need guys like you!
If you wanna try something really different you should try "VAN CANTO - Primo Victoria feat. Joakim Brodén (Sabaton)" or "Van Canto - Rebellion" which features the ledsinger of Blind Guardian. Van Canto is a Metal A Capella band
I would suggest Dream Theaters The Looking Glass!! one of their overlooked Gems. Don't worry dude this one makes make tear up a little too. The ending is so true if you think that everything in the world sucks you will never know the joy of the things that don't

Please, more Dream Theater.
Breaking All Illusions is a MUST! Also, The Glass Prison. Also, also...A Change of Seasons. I could go on.
didn't they also do Breaking all Illusions with this concert as well?
@@SpeedWarrior93 yessir! So good. Petrucci's guitar solo gives me life.
Please react Dream Theater: in the name of god
Also Count of Tuscany.....also Octavarium.....also A nightmare to remember!
This show was in Boston where Berkeley School of music is, and all of the orchestra and the singers behind them are students from that school. DT went to school at Berkeley back in the day.

And the dream theater member is the Professor in Berklee🥶
Dream Theater - Count of Tuscany live must be the next song.
That kb player is the white wizard, Plays and programs on iPad too!
Not live, please. Stick to the studio version in this one.
If you don't know Dream Theater, you know... nothing.

Some must listen songs:
The Glass Prision
The Count of Tuscany
Octavarium
A Change of Seasons
The Best of Times
Whole Metropolis pt2 album
And all other songs :D
i was at this concert, first row balcony, center seat, it was crazy....
Im envy,
I bought DT show ticket in jakarta 2023 january but sadly i cannot go because i had work to do :'(
Remember hearing this the first time. Sounded like Hans Zimmer.
You gave me a couple big belly laughs brother! Keep on with the DT you can't go wrong
The orchestral section brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I'm going to ask to have it played at my funeral...
Yes!!! Ever since I saw you react to The Shattered Fortress I said to myself, "wait until you react to Illumination Theory from the same concert"... and here you are! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do every time I see them (I've seen them live like 11 or 12 times, I lost count!). James Labrie's voice live can sometimes be off, but he killed it in this concert.

Grace before glory! Yeah!
WE WANT MORE MORE DT !!!! . The Count of Tuscany is the one you should save in a box for a special day.
Man, that’s awesome that you’ve been preaching that suffering/joy idea. It’s funny because when I first heard this song, I was one of the ones who thought that line sounded too cliche, and was stated too plainly. But over the years I came realize that not every line needs to be spiced up with metaphors and subtlety, and now I love the line as well
Dream Theater songs shake the soul! 🤘🏻😢
... the "walking piano !" I LOVE THAT 👌✌💙🙏
Jordan Rudess is the maestro on the keyboards. He's been with the band for over 25 years or so.
Oh, that's why your title says "Amen!"
I am in the front row of this video, what an amazing concert.
Excellent reaction, Thanks. I recommend listening to BREAKING ALL ILLUSION Live Boston Opera, Greetings From Colombia
I love that orchestrated section in the middle ... "Troy, is that a tear in your eye? "- "um, no, um, I just have allergies."
Check out "The Glass Prison" studio version. Do yourself a flavor : )
That whole suite of songs, tho. Glass Prison, but also This Dying Soul, Root of All Evil, and The Shattered Fortress.
Make it a suite of reactions! :)
100% going on my playlist
The ending of this one and the solo to "spirit carries on" always make me weep with happiness. 😅... live it's even harder 😅. Gonna see them in San Antonio in this 2025 tour.

Apocalypse Orchestra- The Garden Of Earthly Delights. 🤘
If you don't have some kind of emotional response to this performance, then you're dead inside...
I've always misheard the last verse. Well maybe I have, but not sure. I always heard it as:
Until you've struggled through the dark
You'll never know that you're alive
Either way, its some of their more powerful lyrics.
That's the BEST fucking reaction video ever.
The. BEST
One of my favorite DT pieces. Glad to see you enjoy it
More Dream Theater please.
Here are 10 songs that I would recommend, there is a lot more but these are some of my favourites :D
Take the time
At wits end
Learning to live
The best of times
Fall into the light
The ministry of lost souls
A rite of passage
Pale blue dot
Voices
Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper
(not recommended until you get a feel for Dream Theater)
Bro I freaking love you! Great reaction! This song hits me too!!
This was fun and amazing, bro. I love the lyrics of the song too and I can definitely share a similar testimony.
"To really feel the joy in life
You must suffer through the pain
When you surrender to the light
You can face the darkest days
If you open up your eyes
And you put your trust in love
On those cold and endless nights
You will never be alone
Passion glows within your heart
Like a furnace burning bright
Until you struggle through the dark
You'll never know the joy in life"
Beautiful!!! 😭🤟🏻❤
Mr. Rock n Roll. Mangini's drum set is around 75 to 125K he has his spin seat for percussions for different songs but his fills are god like
my favorite one from his last album... dream theater - at wit's end
To Really fee the Joy in LIFE you must suffer through the pain. (Lyrics were wrong) these are really moving and thanks for the moving reaction
The magic of DT. PLEASE do The Count of Tuscany next!!! One of THE greatest bands EVER!
When you even see the orchestra guys rockin' you know how godly this stuff is.
Dream Theater is KNOWN for crafting some EPIC length songs. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence is ONE SONG in about 8 different parts lasting a total of over 45 minutes just by itself.
Half a minute into it and the guy’s going all out bananas - love it 😄🤘🏻
Dude, I love your energy!!

You should hear Dream Theater with their original drummer, Mike Portnoy. He's probably the greatest drummer on the face of the earth. Please react to In The Presence of Enemies Parts one and two from the Chaos in Motion tour. It's INSANE!!
This guy live his life.
your boys just won a grammy last night

One of the best video reacts I've ever seen. Thank you!
Dream theater - Enigma Machine must be the next song dude
I really would like to hear how Portnoy would sound while drumming this song.
Portnoy more Metal Vibes
While Mangini is the Perfect for this song
It's perfect,just perfect
Little late to this react... But Yeah .... Listen to More Dream Theater !!!! Their Music is beyond belief ,, as well as lyrics.. and very inspirational !!!! Been a Fan for over 25 years !! You WILL DIG them Mr. RnR ! Cheers!!!
You can't go wrong with DT, but if you choose to listen to Metropolis Part 2, you gotta do it in full, and I'll be the first one here to experience that with you bro. You won't regret it.
If you want a badass John Myung bass solo listen to The Dance of Eternity
You got to do Glass Prison by these guys dude. Blew my mind when I first heard it.
Keyboardist is Jordan Rudess. He has his solo project and he can play guitar too.
you need to do more dream theater. Breaking all illusions from the same show its awesome
Godsmack - 1000hp is one of the most masculinit songs ever it will make you say YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH
guessing you did this before you got sick. hope youre doing well.
as for how much a drumset like that cost? probably close to if not more than 10k
And before July 4.. there is no Band-Maid on his wall-o-signed stuff
Honestly 10k would be like bottom of the line drums and cymbals
This is probably upwards of around 35k
Dark. Eternal. Night.
This band is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
...Another DT journey just started... godspeed dude, it's gonna be long... ;)
that did not seem like 27 min WOW! AWESOME
When I saw this, my very first words were, “OH SHIT!!”
Hi Mr R&R, I think we need some Wintersun and Loneliness will be perfect for the turbulent times we are living in. A absolutely beautiful song.
Wait...youtube is saying this post was 3 weeks ago when the video came out today.....hmm?
Most DT songs don't turn into a long chunk of Disney soundtrack half way thru. Almost none even
Check out Mike Mangini rig tour. He explains why the drum set looks the way it does.
11:00 i cry everytime in this moment
One of the most underrated bands out there. They should have been way bigger (not that they weren't) than they were. Rocking out from the mid 80s and i still get told DT who as i slap my forehead lol.
Great reaction. Dream Theatre is awesome band. I hope that You feel better now. Take care.
Thanks man!! I gotta check this full screen!!! Check out as I am!!! YEAHHH
Senza alcun dubbio una delle più spettacolari esibizioni!!!!!!!
Immortal-all shall fall

You're liking the keyboards. They don't get any better than Jordan Rudess bro.
