![[1st time Reaction] Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_PUrIhn_Zrk/mqdefault.jpg)
so one morning I wake up for school when I’m in 10th grade and my dad said that he had a little surprise for me I had no idea what it was because I thought it was just going to be a normal every day school day. Well round about 11 o’clock or so he comes up to the school and picks me up and I asked him what we were doing and he goes oh guess what Alex we’re going to Baltimore to go see Dream Theater I was speechless.
Memories. It’s what life is all about. Love this story.
The term "god-tier" was created for these guys. They take peak performance to new levels, especially live. The studio is one thing. But to recreate a piece like this in a live setting is absolutely mind boggling. I say this as a musician of 30 years myself. We're not worthy...
That bass in the intro and lightning fast bass solo close to the middle is so badass
I was at that show live in the second row, it was incredible!
I call this synch rock - everything is like a precision Swiss time piece- most people don't appreciate this because it is like going to a buffet and putting everything on one plate
Didn't ELP, Yes and Rush play the same 20 years prior? This is progressive Rock. Yes they are very precise. I do appreciate that they can play their compositions live just like they recorded them in the studio.
The Dance of Eternity... in Metropolis part one the conclusion is love. When they finally created a part two due to fans inquiry for years I could not help but think the first was hard to follow up. In stepped a full L.P. and the piece "The Dance of Eternity" with over a hundred time signatures... unbelievable and as a musician - hard to follow - iow may get lost so easily... best be on your game. Truly masters.
When I was growing up, I enjoyed things like Pink Floyd, rush, ELP, yes, Boston, and tool. But when I reached about sixth grader, so I discovered this band called dream theater. And they showed me just how much you could do with progressive metal. Before then I thought there was kind of a limit to it to where you could only be quieter. But Dream Theater is like nope wrong Alex.
@@kbrewski1it's that strange? It all depends of the backgrounds, circle of Friends, family or Even luck to find soem type of music, i listened all those bands thanks to My father too and i didn't Even was old enough to remember the names xD, o think good music it's not restricted to age, more like the restriction comes from exposition
From what I recall, Dance of Eternity has 108 time signature changes... also, you need to see #nicknlexrequest "Illumination Theory" #nicknlexrequest from this same concert. Next-level performance, even Labrie is spot on!
Omg! Yes you're right. 108 time signature changes! I googled it 🤪 That's insane 🤯
See my 1st comment Martin 😉.
@@mvunit3 don't know why you wanted me to see your comments... by the way, it's "Instrumedley", not "Instrumelody". ;)
@@nexuslang - for the link of Mike Portnoy demonstrating the timing on paper.
And yes, I'm the "Typo King" 👑.
Reminds me of Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Brilliant!
The Deep Purple one was called "Concerto for Group and Orchestra". Check it out guys.
I am really impressed by the modern versions of old rock groups!🤣
Howdy! There actually playing at Berkley's School of Music in Boston. That is the Berklee's school of Music's Choir and Orchestra playing with DT. That's where Portnoy, Petrucci, and Myung started Dream Theater. Here's another cut from that concert in Blue Ray. Dream Theater - Illumination Theory ( Live From The Boston Opera House ) - with lyrics
First time hearing these guys...Not bad!Ty brother Nick for this
I got to see Dream Theater over 20 times since 1993. I was blown away every single time.
I started a little later in 2000, but have 18 concerts ... which ones are your favourites ?
@@rudolfbecker4313 I would say the tours for Train of Thought, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, and Systematic Chaos were the most mind-blowing. I met them on the Chaos In Motion, Dramatic Turn of Events, and Distance Over Time tours. I have great memories from all these experiences.
Hi Nick & Lex. Mike Portnoy is now playing in The Winery Dogs. You must listen to this band. It's incredible.
Winery Dogs is good, but if you prefer prog, you better listen to Transatlantic or Neal Morse Band
These guys are legends. This video blows everyone away the first time they see it. Thanks for sharing NicknLex 😊 The last minute or so seems very Rush-inspired. Excellent.
I've seen these guys 8 times, VIP back stage.. these guys are each all in the TOP OF THEIR GAME.. virtuosity is breathtaking. John is a amazing, Jordan is amazing.. was a real treat to hang out with the band.
The most talented band ever ❤️ Band of Gods❤️
🤔
humans playing their music almost perfect. If they were Gods, they would play better music nowadays 😆🤘
Amazing production and playing. I think they exist on their own planet. Thanks for sharing. The arrangements with the orchestra is epic.
Thanks, guys!!! I hope you react to the song "The Best of Times" and "Awakening the Master"... Thanks a lot
Hi Guys , I can't believe you have the dvd and haven't watched it yet. If you don't put it on soon Nick I have a feeling Lex is gonna do it when you are not there. Lol I love watching live concerts and have so many now in my collection. I recently bought only a couple of weeks ago, "Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited Live Seconds Out & More" [ 2 dvd's + 2 cd's ] Incredible to watch and hear. The lead singer is Nad Sylvan who sounds like a cross between Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. [ yes you heard me correctly ] I mean what a find for Steve ! Wow ! The set list is stunning ... Firth of Fith / Suppers Ready / The Cinema Show / Carpet Crawlers / Dance on a Volcano among them, as well as solo tracks from Steve's albums. You need to find time to watch the dvd concerts you have. Put a list of movies you want to watch on strips of paper + a few concerts. Scrunch them up and put in a container.... When ready put your hand in and pull out what to watch. Don't forget the popcorn. Oh and ... Prog Rock rules ok ! [ stick Pink Floyd Pulse in that list to watch hmm ? ] 😀👍 Byeee Jim X
My plan (THEE plan), is when I'm able to visit them, I'll have them sit down to watch the "Score" DVD, and the Documentary that comes with it, so Lexi can see their story 🙂.
Then . . . . We breakout the "CD's" so me and Nick can do "An Evening of Nocturnal Landscapes" 😯.
My favorite band, seen them well over 10 times. Went to this tour. It was a 3 hour show and this was part of the encore. They are The best!!
React to Astronomy live in Some enchanted evening by blue oyster cult. Best guitar solo
Have you done any Shadow Gallery: "Tyranny" is amazing !!!!! ELP: Brain Salad Surgery YES : Close to the Edge & Awaken.. Best of the best
I really like Dream Theater and have almost all of their studio albums. This "Dance of Eternity" is really good. I have it on their "Metropolis Pt. 2" CD.
She knows the song pretty well
Yep, as we stated, we’ve both heard this song before and are watching the live version for the first time. :)
I've always felt like this is a super technical instrumental version of the original Metropolis pt. 1. The whole Scenes album is filled with melodies and snippets from that original song but this probably has them the most.
Jordan’s amazing to see and nice to watch both John’s playing live - those fingers fly! Manual dexterity much?! Lol Thanks, Nick n Lex. 😽❤️🔥 (edit: too many typos lately 😣)
AMAZING live!
Jordan who? Oh Spider fingers!! As you know it's early days for me and Dream Theater, but I'm definitely up for more opportunities to hear what they've got. Very impressive technically of course, and in such control of everything, now I'll be looking for more melody in the future. Are there any old reactions you did of DT that you recommend? Thanks guys xx
P.S. Every time I type Theater, my screen shows a spelling error! These naughty UK computers.
That's the thing Richard,
Most people think of DT for their EPICS, but they have MANY melodic tracks that focus on the "song", and the band holds back on their virtuosity. The album this track comes from; "Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory Part 2" has a few tracks that are VERY melodic, in-between the epics and the technical tracks (which helps tell the story of the _concept_ album).
Every DT album has their share of melodic/song focused tracks :).
@@mvunit3 I shall have a good listen to the album and find out more. Thank you 😊
The Astonishing is over 2 hours long. The first disc alone is exactly 80 minutes, 2nd one is over 40 minutes long.
You should check out the live version with Mike Portnoy from the live in New York show. I believe it's called Live Scenes From New York: Metropolis 2000.
with the epic ending with Finally Free and MP almost destroying his drum, my first DT concert and I will never forget. We had this outro melody for days in our minds ... I would sing it to you here, if you could hear me 🤣🤣🤣
@@rudolfbecker4313 I agree. If Portnoy were a Muppet he would be called Beast and probably replace Animal of the Electric Mayhem. 🤣🤣
I have been listening to a cover by Swimmy. Glads to here the original.
There were three bands, Joe Satriani, dream, theater, and Kings X, and the sound quality was absolutely terrible for the show, but the show itself was awesome
That's not really fair, because they probably practiced that. And you do realize there were too many notes. They could have gotten that done with half as many...and their fingers would not now be on ice.
Great to see that some bands kept the progress going. How wild it must be live, and close to the stage. Great to finally see this. Amazing.
Well Meester Wonderesss . . .
Take a look at my 2 comments 😉. And checkout the album that this track comes from; The concept album; "Metropolis: Scenes from a Memory Book 2", which has quite a few melodic tracks in itself 🙂.
Yes you do! I’ve seen them four times now throughout the years and Jordan and John on their own. It’s a bucket list must!
100 points for your faces Alexia 😃 having heard this song so many times studio and live version since 1999 and having seen this specific video 6 - 8 times I could completely concentrate on your faces ... Nick following the song because of knowing it and you experiencing one surprise after the other. That's one of the reasons why I watch reaction videos : re-discovering my favourite music through the ears and the eyes of others... that's the big fun of it all 😆👍
I guess latest by now you understand why I went to their concerts 18 times since 2000 and I feel a bit sorry for you, because Astonishing was the "worst" .. it's been a concept album with more than 10 characters, and James had to sing them all. That can't work .... compared to this AYREON's concept album are masterpieces and you should see the list of singers he's gonna have on stage, when they play another one of his albums in September ... the list is too long to put it here😵💫
Coming back to Dream Theater: this is not on Score, I'm sure others mentioned this already ... but you are ready for Score, and if you do a single song reaction, there can be only 1 song: Metropolis Part 1 ... played with the orchestra... I couldn't stop watching them shredding their violins cellos etc and some even had time to headbang ... simply awesome ... I hope you can watch that soon. And I can tell you, for somebody having grown up with the prog of the 70s and looking for some harder stuff, Dream Theater was the NONPLUSULTRA for a very long time 🤘❤
"Dance of Eternity/Instrumedley" with Mike Portnoy, Live at Budokan Japan 2004 (very good quality): th-cam.com/video/umJ3fxk7qD8/w-d-xo.html
Gotta' have Lexi see the co-writer do his thing! 😊
Mike Portnoy showing the timing chart: th-cam.com/video/vswDu3IlUbg/w-d-xo.html
- NUTZ! (but for the N&L audience; please checkout DT's songs that aren't EPICS that are shorter than 7min., they do know "melody" and can hold back the virtuosity for the "song" and lyrical content 🙂).
Hola, estaría genial que reaccionaran a un tema de Symphony X - The Odyssey .... saludos y me suscribo
You should really check out Liquid Tension Experiment if you like DT
We have reacted to Liquid Tension twice on the channel 🤘
Oops. Sorry
couldn't you make the picture even smaller?
You need to listen to the next song. I hated the Astonishing...I like their earlier stuff.
next reaction alip ba ta cover another day by dream theater. he is one Man band.
I’m with you Lex. Not a fan of the singer either. Everyone else, spot on. Personally I think Petrucci is the best guitarist out there today
Not mentioned, but Rush was a big inspiration to Dream Theatre. Portnoy idolized them. Not sure if you all reviewed the Necromancer by Rush, but there is a Dream Theater cover (concert) where they do it.Excellent.
Steve Howe of yes said a time ago that this progressive groups are so virtuoso musicians that they forget the melody of a song simple good song
But they DO have those songs. People ALWAYS focus on their EPICS, but never their shorter songs (the less than 7 min. tracks). They have plenty of melody and focus on the "song" because of the lyrical content, and even Mike Portnoy (not in this video, this is the later era of DT with Mike Mangini) pulls back on his drumming when the track calls for it.
Btw - Steve Howe has performed with Dream Theater: th-cam.com/video/isAJM7Lckk8/w-d-xo.html
You never mention UK.
I mention Allan Holdsworth pretty much in every video. That's the best part of U.K.
Mangini is a better drummer. Sorry.
At this level it's a bit ridiculous to say who is "better" it's like saying Guthrie Govan is better that John Petrucci. They are both incredibly good and 100% dedicated to their instrument.
Nick & Lex . . .
I'm shocked that there are only 20 comments and 734 views 🙁.
I'll blame Mothers Day Weekend, yet go figure . . . I met a couple at work tonight; the guy was wearing a *Wintersun* shirt, the gal, a *Meanstreak* shirt. "Meanstreak" is a band made-up of females that play Metal, and 3 members are married to Dream Theater members. I told them about your show as well as talking all things Prog Metal (and Rock & Metal), and the woman agrees with you about "LaBrie", Lex :P. But they both still love the band. I hope to hear back from them soon, and I hope you have 2 new members of LaFamilia 🙂.
Note: this DT Concert was from "Breaking The Fourth Wall" in Boston (2014). The DVD I sent you "Score" is with Mike Portnoy and the 1st time they played with an Orchestra (with the astounding version of "Octavarium", but does not contain; "Dance of Eternity/Instrumedley") from 2006 at Radio City Music Hall, NYC.
Also see previous comment for the video of Portnoy counting-off all the changes :).
- Its great too that Lexi is getting into the complex stuff, but she will have to hear more of their _direct_ "Song" oriented material where they are more melodic and hold back the virtuosity.
