Yeah I dunno what you are hearing. Not sure if it's the audio recording but most of the vocals were really flat. It was uncomfortable to listen to at times.
My daughter made a bracelet for JP and gave it to him during the meet and greet last night… he promised her to wear it and he did just that for the duration of the show! You Petrucci are a true gentleman
mike portnoy away since 2010 constant motion away since 2009 octavarium away since 2006 stream of consciousness away since 2004 this is not only mikes comeback...
Constant Motion is probably the worst track DT ever recorded. The set has its strong points thought, but could have been much more inclusive album wise.

seeing them play “this is the life” hits me hard, that was such a emotional album after Mike left, and every song I thought of him, it’s like losing girlfriend and having a song that reminds you of them then getting back together years later and sharing that song with her,
You know what’s funny about that song? It’s very likely that MP heard that song and he might have helped in the process, let me explain.. they started the writing process in early 2010 but it took longer than usual because MP was a rockstar at the time and he was collaborating with the biggest names in the industry while JP was writing the songs. When MP left they had pretty much everything written in 2010 with time signatures and everything ready to go only missing drums. So it’s very likely that Portnoy contributed to some degree before he left the band.
@@JorgeCastillo-yd5jxI dont think MP contributed to ant of the ADTOE material, “On January 3, 2011, Dream Theater entered Cove City Sound Studios to begin working on a new album.[7] Although John Petrucci brought in demos, riffs, and songs from home, the album was mostly written in the studio.[8] Writing was completed on March 2 and done without Mike Mangini. The band made demos for all the songs with drums already programmed, then sent them to Mangini who learned the parts and "added his own stuff.”
Man, stream of consciousness. I remember seeing that on the train of thought tour. My buddy nudged me and told me he was selling his guitar directly after the solo. That album is severely underrated. This dying soul and in the name of god are incredible as well.
Such a special song for me, I used to play it on guitar with my friend who was a drummer, and I just did my best to cover both guitar and keyboard parts. We'd just play it 3 times back to back for fun it was the best
Train of Thought underrated? I would disagree. Most rankings I see places it in DT's top 5 albums. It's #3 for me. Endless Sacrifice might be my favorite DT song of all time.
Holy crap. No more pre recorded crap anymore. This is raw and live like the old days. Sounds like they might be off the click now too. Welcome back MP!
@@eldiablort1461 yup. I just saw a sit down with Ola, MP, and JP and they confirmed it. They were on the click with Mangini but back off the click with Portnoy. The music feels alive again.
I love this 2nd set, from the opening animation, the songlists.., it is really represent Dream Theater, welcoming MP back home,and will always honouring Mangini's work..., Dream Theater isn't just a band...they're family...!! thank you for uploading this video...sending love from Indonesia❤
This second set is fucking blistering badass!!!! Nice one DT!!!! I was hoping Octavarium would make an appearance on this tour. One of my favorite DT songs!!!! James is going for the Glenn Hughes look! Nice! Great effects on his voice. Hope they keep that up!!!
@@nathanberner4963 For us, quality music really determines our way of thinking, a country will progress if its taste in music is quality, we are used to listening to Jazz n Blues, Funk, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal and all other types of metal genres, even though we still adhere to religion and culture. Dream Theater is like a music teacher for us, we can learn a lot from there, when Pull Me Under was released, we felt like we got something fresh amidst the onslaught of rock music at that time, we learned a lot about progressive music from there.
@@nathanberner4963 it wasn't until at least 2007 when Systematic Chaos was released. Simply because at that time mp3 players just launched on mobile phones and we could easily exchange songs (which is illegal btw). Anyway, the average duration of a song is commonly 3-4 minutes, but then there are these 15, 20, even 30 minutes freaking long songs with crazy music arrangements from this lame-named band called Dream Theater. This is what initially made them popular from mouth to mouth. Thanks to the easy access to the internet and TH-cam at that time as well, which eventually make it easy for Indonesians to access DT music and get to know the band better.
Even thought 2011 was a heart breaking time for me as a DT fan, I very much enjoyed A Dramatic Turn of Events. I got teary eyed hearing this is the life. I used to fantasize that DT would re-track that entire album with MP on it back then. Of course that didnt happen. So hearing Mike play his post DT era music, very comforting. Thanks for being a good sport Mike!
To save James' voice I think they should drop UTGM from the set list. I have been harsh critique towards James but hey everybody gets older and can't do what they did younger. He did remarkable work on other songs, much better than before.
I agree, he could definetely have done better on the Images songs, but on Vacant, Night Terror, Octavarium, As I Am etc he sounded better than hes done in quite a while
@bensaccone7345 I'm sorry, but I just can't agree. I love James to death, but good God, man... he sounds so bad ☹️ He's just constantly singing out of tune throughout every song, and he gets like this "Bobcat Goldthwait" tone to his voice. I hate it, to be honest... I hear them on album, and I'm like, "Damn man, why does he sound like a completely different singer?" They must over produce the living hell out of his vocals.
@bensaccone7345 He was absolutely terrible yesterday. He nailed 8V, VACANT was touching, he had good moments- but good god, what he was doing during Metropolis for example was a crime on my ears. It's not just high notes. He was at times out of tune. That's unforgivable
@@fenderek666i wanna think metrópolis sounded like that cause of bad stage/in ear volume, that can happen. Im hearing the rest of the concert, hope it was just that.
@@fenderek666 Yeah the only parts of the entire concert he got right were Vacant (surprisingly excellent, I won’t lie) and the softer segments of Octavarium. But otherwise my god what a nightmare. I would take myself out of the game if I ever got to that poor level. He’s embarrassing himself and it’s a real shame because he was so great so many years ago. And this is the very first show of the tour where his voice should be the freshest and most well-rested! It’s not his food poisoning from 30 year ago, it’s not his in-ears, it’s not the amount of chairs in the auditorium soaking up some wavelengths, it’s the fact that he just can’t handle this stuff anymore. And they’re charging top dollar to see this to boot. What a crime because this setlist is unfucking believable. Please James, save your legacy and this band and hang it up for your other brothers!
@@MSA they will vary, MP confirmed it in his instagram that he is in charge of the setlist again as he used to, so he said there will be changing setlists every night
I didn’t stop crying since vacant started all the way to the end, and more when octavarium started, and just with this video,,, I’ll need a bucket when I see them in Dallas
De repente, estou de volta ao passado! E como é bom ter você de volta, Mike!! Ouvir essas canções com MP na bateria é como viver bons momentos no passado
Stream Of Consciousness para mim é a melhor música do DT, já faziam anos q eles não tocavam ela ao vivo. Pelo visto, voltaram com o Portnoy com força total. Clássico é clássico. Meus parabéns ao quinteto!
fantastic, incredibly grand… thanks brother for sharing the vídeo…. looking forward to November 16th here in Portugal… seeing these guys playing Octavarius… I’m very excited… it’s no words to say
@@MSAyeah his little "wooh hooooo hooo hoooo!!! " In "as I am" made labrie break and start laughing while singing lol I watched this about twenty times already and it's so funny how people start cracking up in the crowd
I understand loyalty and longevity and im not blaming him , age and the food poisoning did him in. He came back to the best of his abilities. After this tour i don't know what's to be. Either replace which i dont think they'll do or just end it gracefully.
MP will be doing Stripped down version of MM tracks to appease Fans the thing a lot of people don't realize MM side grooves and right side grooves have different pitches for a reason
@@timwatersondrummer Yeah, MM is technically more advanced than MP. And after the departure of MM, i just realize that he gives a super fresh influence of the drumming in DT’s music that protnoy can’t give. IMO MP drumming is sometimes too dominant while MM’s style is very “supportive”. For now let’s just wait for the new album to be released and listen to MP’s work there
I met jp 3x and he's the absolute coolest dude I've ever met..words can't describe just how nice he was to me and my daughter..my favorite musician ever
@@melodic777 Without Mike Portnoy This is the Life wouldn't exist because there'd be no Dream Theater. Just because you wet your panties for Mike Mangini doesn't mean MP isn't highly skilled
This is the life brought a lot of tough memories in my life backthen and in addition MP has just left the band in 2011 with an album called "dramatic turn of events"... so it was very special to listen to.
I had some fun trying to work out the song melodies of the ontro, I couldnt work out what song from When Dream And Day Unite was used because it was mainly cut off but the rest I think is Another Day, Space-Dye Vest, Hells Kitchen, Strange Deja Vu, About to Crash, In the Name of God, Sacrificed Sons, In the Presence of Enemies, A Nightmare to Remember, Breaking All Illusions, False Awakening Suite, Act of Faythe, Pale Blue Dot, A View from the Top of the World, and then into Night Terror.
Night Terror is night and day for James compared with Metropolis Pt 1! James sounded really good on Night Terror, a song crafted for his middle range. But he butchered Metropolis terribly. I am not blaming James btw! It happens with age. I just think that they should omit songs like Metropolis at his age, as it really tarnishes the show. Either way I love to see them back in action!
IMO they should just downtune those early songs to accommodate his voice. I mean, would that really be a crime? as it is James is struggling way too much
i thought the whole show would suck after hearing metropolis, but then james calibrated really quickly, he was flawless the rest of the evening, considering his age, i actually prefer him finding new melodies than downtuning the songs one or even two steps in order for him to reach the notes
@@user-zj4tt2ey9o I agree that most of the fans are there for the instrumentalists. but honestly it got to a point where LaBrie's singing have become a major distraction (to say the least). I don't blame him, though, the guy is like 60. idk if autotune would work coz nowadays he has to shift the melody A LOT just to get through the lines. maybe autotune has improved to a point where the difference between the two pitches doesn't cause horrid distortions.. I'm not sure. then again, he can still handle some songs well enough. just most of the early stuff sounds really painful
P.S. I am enjoying 'hearing' JM. (Octavarium) He's rockin out too! For so many shows, even going back the MP eras, you couldn't hear him. Sounds good! Love that Bongo!
@@purapura_gaming Meskipun portnoy mainin Barstool Warrior & this is the life,soulnya mangini yg khas ilang bjir,udah kek dulu pas portnoy out,protes soulnya dia ilang,sekarang pas MP mainin lagunya mangini,malah ilang juga soulnya,emang kalo beda style mah susah
@@LUCIFER-zeuz ya begitulah setiap musisi punya ciri khasnya masing2 yg akan melekat ke lagu yg dia buat. Sekalipun mau ditiru 100% tetap saja "rasa" di instrumen yg dimainkan jadi beda. 😅
Excellent concert 🔥🔥🔥 The boys are out in full force! Side note: poor Jordan has to be half deaf by now setting up next to Portnoy and Mangini for all these years.

I think they played Constant Motion at Wacken 2015
Constant Motion was played during their 30th anniversary tour in 2015.
Because Mike Portnoy picked the setlist. That's why the setlist looks so cool
Constant Motion is probably the worst track DT ever recorded. The set has its strong points thought, but could have been much more inclusive album wise.

Stream Of Consciousness para mim é a melhor música do DT, já faziam anos q eles não tocavam ela ao vivo. Pelo visto, voltaram com o Portnoy com força total. Clássico é clássico. Meus parabéns ao quinteto!
Great.
Thank you for filming.
Thanks man greetings from greece
The intro is sooooo BEAUTIFUL ORCHESTRATION....
DREAM THEATER is once in a lifetime musicians....❤❤❤
To God be the Glory❤
Thanks for the video.
JM deserves a spotlight for that iconic stream intro
fantastic, incredibly grand… thanks brother for sharing the vídeo….
looking forward to November 16th here in Portugal… seeing these guys playing Octavarius… I’m very excited… it’s no words to say
11:40 that was a badass stick trick
24:55 THEY DID THE THING 🤣
Expect a lot more “things” to happen throughout the tour. this is the true live dream theater.
Need more gimmick from them 😂
i was expecting Eat my ass and balls!! during As i Am hahaha but cant complain, great to have mike back
My brain was so happy when this happened hahaha
@@MSAyeah his little "wooh hooooo hooo hoooo!!! " In "as I am" made labrie break and start laughing while singing lol
I watched this about twenty times already and it's so funny how people start cracking up in the crowd
Welcome back home, MIKE! Only he can play like this in this band!!
Stream of consciousness made me fan and now i'm ready to see them in Milan
We are so fucking back
Tongue munching grandma Labrie agrees.
OH MY EFFIN GOD...octavarium... the second best DT song after a change of Seasons....
this gives me goosebumbs .. almost too much to handle....😊😊😊
I understand loyalty and longevity and im not blaming him , age and the food poisoning did him in. He came back to the best of his abilities. After this tour i don't know what's to be. Either replace which i dont think they'll do or just end it gracefully.
Well, in lower parts, James can sound fine. Maybe modify the melodies so that he does not need to go that high.
@@talanielhe does modify the melodies and they sound as bad or worse
It's time to send him to the farm upstate. It's downright awful.
Thanks for the upload!
Octavarium - absolute masterpiece !!! We've been waiting 18 years for the full live version !
Waiting for MP to play The Alien! Or, PLEASE, BREAKING ALL ILLUSIONS!
MP will be doing Stripped down version of MM tracks to appease Fans the thing a lot of people don't realize MM side grooves and right side grooves have different pitches for a reason
@@timwatersondrummer Yeah, MM is technically more advanced than MP. And after the departure of MM, i just realize that he gives a super fresh influence of the drumming in DT’s music that protnoy can’t give. IMO MP drumming is sometimes too dominant while MM’s style is very “supportive”. For now let’s just wait for the new album to be released and listen to MP’s work there
@@eternalbliss3487 There's a good argument that's actually flipped around.
Excelente servicio
I met jp 3x and he's the absolute coolest dude I've ever met..words can't describe just how nice he was to me and my daughter..my favorite musician ever
So cool to hear Portnoy on This is the Life
Because they certainly couldn’t do any other songs requiring high level skill
He even sing the backing part
@@melodic777 Without Mike Portnoy This is the Life wouldn't exist because there'd be no Dream Theater. Just because you wet your panties for Mike Mangini doesn't mean MP isn't highly skilled
So cool to hear labrie on stream
I am absolutely blown away by this setlist! Awesome to have MP back and in charge of the setlist 😁🤘
LaBrie's vocals on "Under a Glass Moon" are a crime.
Tks So much for uploading, again lol... God bless you
that legit medley for the intro
Thanks for the videos! ...
This is IT ! ❤🎉
My deepest sympathy to everyone in the band including Labrie for having courage and tenacity in moving forward with life.
Thanks for filming it brother!
Thanks for the video！
I'll tell you at what spot people where looking most of the time......
He's back!
I WANT TO SEE BRIDGES IN THE SKY LIVE
This is the life brought a lot of tough memories in my life backthen and in addition MP has just left the band in 2011 with an album called "dramatic turn of events"... so it was very special to listen to.
Thank you Sir! Awesome job!
I had some fun trying to work out the song melodies of the ontro, I couldnt work out what song from When Dream And Day Unite was used because it was mainly cut off but the rest I think is Another Day, Space-Dye Vest, Hells Kitchen, Strange Deja Vu, About to Crash, In the Name of God, Sacrificed Sons, In the Presence of Enemies, A Nightmare to Remember, Breaking All Illusions, False Awakening Suite, Act of Faythe, Pale Blue Dot, A View from the Top of the World, and then into Night Terror.
Petrucci is absolutely insane 😳 the fast part of Stream of Conciousness is crazy
I have dreamed MP comes back since 2010.
What a fantastic day😂
Night Terror is night and day for James compared with Metropolis Pt 1! James sounded really good on Night Terror, a song crafted for his middle range. But he butchered Metropolis terribly. I am not blaming James btw! It happens with age. I just think that they should omit songs like Metropolis at his age, as it really tarnishes the show. Either way I love to see them back in action!
IMO they should just downtune those early songs to accommodate his voice. I mean, would that really be a crime? as it is James is struggling way too much
They could have a second singer also.
i thought the whole show would suck after hearing metropolis, but then james calibrated really quickly, he was flawless the rest of the evening, considering his age, i actually prefer him finding new melodies than downtuning the songs one or even two steps in order for him to reach the notes
@@user-zj4tt2ey9o I agree that most of the fans are there for the instrumentalists. but honestly it got to a point where LaBrie's singing have become a major distraction (to say the least). I don't blame him, though, the guy is like 60. idk if autotune would work coz nowadays he has to shift the melody A LOT just to get through the lines. maybe autotune has improved to a point where the difference between the two pitches doesn't cause horrid distortions.. I'm not sure. then again, he can still handle some songs well enough. just most of the early stuff sounds really painful
Thanks a lot for uploading this !!
P.S. I am enjoying 'hearing' JM. (Octavarium) He's rockin out too! For so many shows, even going back the MP eras, you couldn't hear him. Sounds good! Love that Bongo!
Stream of Consciousness 😭😭❤❤❤
Sekian lama tak terdengar lagi octavarium secara live,dan surprize banget kembalinya MP lagu ini dibawakan kembali 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Padahal pengen denger octavarium versi MM tapi gapernah dimainin pas live. Pas portnoy balik baru dimainin lagi 🥲
@@purapura_gaming Meskipun portnoy mainin Barstool Warrior & this is the life,soulnya mangini yg khas ilang bjir,udah kek dulu pas portnoy out,protes soulnya dia ilang,sekarang pas MP mainin lagunya mangini,malah ilang juga soulnya,emang kalo beda style mah susah
@@LUCIFER-zeuz ya begitulah setiap musisi punya ciri khasnya masing2 yg akan melekat ke lagu yg dia buat. Sekalipun mau ditiru 100% tetap saja "rasa" di instrumen yg dimainkan jadi beda. 😅
Well, at least we can’t accuse James of lip syncing…
Wish we could it would sound alot better
I would be perfectly fine with some “help” from some backing tracks when needed. Not whole time but yeah. It’s all good we know he’s gotten older
🤣
Man Night Terror translates really well live. The second set was a treat to witness for usre.
wow james sounds really good in octavarium😮😮 im gonna be watching them in lisbon on the 16th🇵🇹🇵🇹🤘🏻🤘🏻
crazy set list!
❤ great, waiting for the rest of the set mate,👍
1:02:34 WOW! that was Legendary!
His extreme highs and lows are intact. Everything in between is... not...
JP nailed that solo in This is the Life!
Excellent concert 🔥🔥🔥 The boys are out in full force! Side note: poor Jordan has to be half deaf by now setting up next to Portnoy and Mangini for all these years.
Thank you!!
YESSSSS! What a setlist! Cant wait to see them in Frankfurt
00:10 Apple music should use that animation on Dream theater album cover 😊
Night Terror
What a track I love it.
Here for the transition at 43:35 , because people never film outros or intros
Night Terror some AMAZING Petrucci riff rather spectacular.
Stream of consciousness and Octavarium 🤘🤘
Awesome!
dude, OCTAVARIUM
agghhh the feels are real
Stream of consciousness is insane! Can’t believe they played that! That’s amazing
