@@TrebleForTheBass Anyone who thinks Mike Portnoy is the better drummer between the two knows absolutely nothing about drumming. MP is the better songwriter/producer though, I'll give him that.
I just cannot express myself how I appreciate JP's ability to create such beautiful melodies in his solos. I've grown up with this since 1995 when I first listened to Awake.
It really is epic! I must say I wasn’t enthusiastic about the Dramatic Turn of Events album without Portnoy as it seemed to lack the raw aggression and adrenaline tracks that Portnoy contributed to in the past. but I gave it a few more rotations then realized it’s a pretty amazing body of work technically and creatively. and this track is brilliant…hard, edgy then soft and melodic with Petrucci ripping our faces off with an epic solo…but everyone contributed to this track and that’s what makes it so great IMO.
It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit in some parts of the guitar community for being too technical and soulless, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.
They are riding the whitewater rapids of music; in the zone. Thanks for pointing this out. I usually listen to audio while on another browser tab. Watching this actually gave me goose bumps.
I can't get enough of Mangini's drumming. It's beautiful, melodic, and technical. He is the only drummer that has brought me feelings like that. To me, he is the greatest drummer in the world.
The fact the dude has ANOTHER drumset on a scaffolding above his already huge drum set is epic in and of itself. I never imagined anyone could match or even exceed Mike Portnoy. But man. I've NEVER seen the man make a mistake in all the hours ive watched him play DT songs
There is Dream Theater and there's everybody else....fucking amazing. I am 66 and you don't get this many great musicians in the same band very often. Unreal....
I'm super happy you can dig these dudes at 66. Do me a favor and NEVER listen to the comments on TH-cam if you start to listen to them. Their internet fans are as toxic as the Star Wars memesters. Keep rockin'.
It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit for being too technical and solo less, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.
My favorite album, " A Dramatic Turn of Events ". Spirituality, Charisma, Energy, Inspiring, and the Awareness to BELIEVE in yourself........and not in a God. WE as humans, have the power in our HANDS.........IF we use it correctly. 😉😇
I remember when they played this in Sydney at Big Top, Luna Park... the crowd absolutely errupted when they started this song. Then there was this sense of unexplainable energy in the building. Everyone was just mesmerised by it. It's like they hypnotised us all with this. I'll never forget it.
Honestly im not a fan of DT but man this song touched my soul, the chords progression, the arrangement so clean! They are so organized, pure pro! Respect for these legends! Rock on!
A more talented band does not exist. Each member is at the apex of his instrument's contribution to the musical canon that is progressive rock music. They have extended the reach and challenged the musical boundaries set by prog's greatest bands-Yes, ELP, Rush, Kansas, Genesis, Crimson and Floyd et al. That is no easy chore, yet they have done it with great aplomb and top shelf excellence.

I agree, this is one of my favorite bands of all times.. I got to meet them,got to tell them that there music helped me through a hard time in my life.. I also got a shirt signed bye them.. It was a incredible night!!!
Dream Theater, is the best of the best!! Magnificent song and masterfully performed by one of the best metal singers of all time: the great James "the Pirate" LaBrie, great work Cap. !! 🎼🎙✌️🤘DT 4EVER
As a relatively new follower of DT, I'm not sure if I might be lucky enough to not have to delve into the MP v MM debate 🙂 I saw DT in London UK in February '20 (having accessed D. O. T and worked back over previous albums) and I had a great time. I like music that tells story, paints a picture, conveys a positive message or takes you places. Thank you Dream Theater, Rush and Deep Purple for giving me those elements between you over 45 years 🙂
Believe it or not I just recently discovered Dream Theater and it was for this song, I immediately became a fan. Not a day goes by that I don't listen to them now.
I just smoked a weed and heard this whole symphony and after hearing every detail of each instrument it's such a healthy therapy, a trip, it's magic, my God, thanx for the video
J'adore DT ! Je ne me suis jamais ennuyé, les concerts et les albums sont formidables, ils sont exigeants avec leur musique, et généreux avec le public. Merci les gars ! Vivement le prochain album !
Absolutely amazing and awesome. Dream Theater set the bar soooooooooo high and highly doubt that alot of metal bands out there can honestly catch up to them as far as ability.
No me aburre escuchar esta agrupación...no sé si existe algo así tan perfecto...me lleva a un viaje está canción ....en momento me llena de lágrimas lo ojos ,son increíbles
It's hard to point out what's the best here. We have only geniuses!! I must confess I started listening because of John Petrucci, but now I understand why DT is so admired worldwide. Everything they do is perfect, impeccable. Even LaBrie is doing great on this performance.
YEEEEAH Myung appeared more than 3s in a video! in fact, I think the part that starts at 1:44 is one of the deepest and most immersive sounds I've heard from Dream Theater
Oh wow, the part @01:34 when it breaks it just goes to the drums, bass, and keys gives me chills. Such a great song, with amazing composition. Thank you DT for doing what you do so well!!!!
So most of this album was written in the same structure as songs on Images and Words. This song has the Learning to Live structure. Listen to it. It has the same breakdown with the quiet drums bass and keys part
This is an absolute gem from start to finish. DT are the masters of the masterpiece. Many bands have followed in their footsteps, but they are the consummate kings of prog metal.....no argument.
+brazwen that's exactly what i thought. then you realize his vocal creativity isn't all that technically impressive like it once was. he's still good but i wonder how much longer he can do it for. I kinda want to see what another singer could do in DT, lol. As much as i love james i hope one day i can see that.
Always love the beginning of the song and the part at 6:41 which is so tempered in dynamics which sets up another cool guitar solo by the master Petrucci:) A very well shot and quality video if this song and performance, love it!

They’re masters absolutely!!!
This is the idea
Sangat jenius.

Yess..
Drummers practice to a metronome, metronomes practice to Mike Mangini. What an absolutely phenomenal drummer.

Oh please with the MP is better comment! Fuck Portnoy! He left! He's out!!! Move on!
Are you joking? Hope you are not serious. Mangini compared to Portnoy is only a poor robot

Petrucci's tone is just phenomonal
What a masterpiece . One of prog's true anthems!
Didn't care much for it past the intro on the album but it does take a whole new dimension live.
It really is epic!

Petrucci absolutely dominated that solo wow..
He's not from this world.... Such a feelings....
It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit in some parts of the guitar community for being too technical and soulless, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.
Technical yet soulful,the build up is amazing,from slow to shredding
9:18 John Myung and John Petrucci communicating telepathically
Holy crap that is perfect. He even nods like he received something back from John. HAHA
Totally dude.
totally agreeing with this fact😂
🤣🤣
They are riding the whitewater rapids of music; in the zone. Thanks for pointing this out. I usually listen to audio while on another browser tab. Watching this actually gave me goose bumps.
One of the best guitar solo ever written right there..

Hi mike
in fact bro! I enjoy the 1996 g3 with Mike on drums for Steve Vai!!
@@eduardogarcia7259Very good indeed
Give that bass player an award. Keeping up with Petrucci, nearly note for note, is just amazing to see.
J Myung never looked at anything but his playing. He needs to keep up to Petrucci
since Majesty days I think JP has been keeping up with Myung ;)
@@t3hgir lol like I was going to write this kinda comm exactly today xd

Porcupine Tree, Opeth and Dream Theater are the only 3 bands that give me these feels of such great complex writing. while also being beautiful
6:09 - 6:42 God this solo just melt my heart. Papa John, you never cease to amaze me...
It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit for being too technical and solo less, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.
7:14 to 8:55 is even better. He put all of his talent and soul into..
This live performance is better than the studio one.
Definitely:)
So far
Most dt songs are like that haha only few bands sound better live than album and definitely dt is one of them which is a good thing
Because we can actually hear the drums
@@KevinLuWX It sounds less ''synthetic'' than the studio version, which I appreciate.
I never get tired of this incredible song!!!!!
+Ariel Briceño I HAD to listen to B.A.I at least twice a day
Ariel Briceño me neither! Awesome until the end
For me, this is the best and perfect synthesis of all the DT carreer. I just love this song, is wonderful and never get tired of it either.

best song of the post-portnoy era imo
*illumination theory
good too
Together with At Wit's End and Pale Blue Dot now!
equilibrio perfetto fra tecnica e melodia, virtuosismo e pathos
I would say that At Wit's End is great as this one... but could be more like an Epic.
Oh God this is perfect. Portnoy is portnoy, Mangini is mangini and this is still a Dream Theater..
Love seeing JP and JM laying it down together. Masters.
8:20 ....make me cry everytime.....
When Dominant is exactly where it should be... ;)
I thought it was gonna involve James trying to reach high F#
yes me too
Me too
Sounds like Journey ,Send her my love.. Excellent.

I just can't stop playing this track. I absolutely love Dream Theatre. So talented
Best band on the world
With the sun in place
There's a test of faith
Streams of thought awaken
New realities
Singularities
Breaking all illusions
Sudden burst of heat
Burning source of life
Masterful destruction
Power's not an act
It's understanding truth
Changing my direction
Live in the moment
Breathe in a new beginning
Wisdom revealed
As I unlearn to learn
Life's biggest battles
Often are fought alone
My spirit brings me home
Emerald thoughts flow through my consciousness
Drawn to curses left behind
Test of will the threshold to one's faith
Starts a fire in the mind
Searching out
Reaching in
To arrive
Where I began
Sights remembered
In the light
Searching out
Reaching in
To arrive
Where I began
Sounds remembered
Come alive
Embrace the days
Don't turn away
Life's true intent needs patience
Karma starts the signal
Wow!!!! Who are really these guys?!!!

The best musicians ever.
Here is the world class band playing.........jaw dropping performance as always? No more words
Thank you DT for such a masterpiece!
when there is music like this...who needs drugs anymore
Amazing words bro
I do
I agree, this is one of my favorite bands of all times..
I got to meet them,got to tell them that there music helped me through a hard time in my life..
I also got a shirt signed bye them..
It was a incredible night!!!
who needs drugs you ask? Thick people who listen to hip hop and (c)rap-modern music is mostly responsible for drugs as it is so boring
Weed only makes it better
EASILY the best band in history. Period.
Yes, 100% agree, but ... after RUSH. They two are out of this Galaxy.
listen to ELP's first 5 albums, dude.
WHO do you think DT steals from?
Its possible,but there is still pink floyd and pantera,if we talk about complicated good and enjoyable music.
Pantera are shit compared to DT.
James la Brie Easily the most annoying vocalist.
What a great performance ! Live version is even better .
These five guys are gods at what they do!!
Anyone who says Petrucci has no feel should listen to this song. On repeat.
7:12 The epic guitar solo starts.
Dream Theater, is the best of the best!! Magnificent song and masterfully performed by one of the best metal singers of all time: the great James "the Pirate" LaBrie, great work Cap. !! 🎼🎙✌️🤘DT 4EVER
That was absolutely incredible! Use proper speakers, or headphones, to fully enjoy this masterpiece.
this guitar solo is amazing!
I couldn't agree more!
It's one of his more passionate solos imo. Its up there with the Hollow Years at Budokan solo.
This song still gives me chills. Probably the best Dream Theater song written post Portnoy.
Probably yes.especially live.
One of the best DT songs...
Breaking All Illusions Breaking the Fourth Wall: basically they breaking everything!
Anjjiiiiinngggg keren buanget emang ini Band, dr 95 sampe hari ini gak bosen2....
This is my favorite song of all time. Absolutely flawless
Mike Mangini is a Master!
Easily on of their best songs...!! It's absolutely brilliant...!! 😊👍
7:57 - 8:57 is a 1 minute of PURE inspiration of Suspended Animation Petrucci Album.... With a Soul... just Amazing... Like January 2020 :D
Dream theater is one of the bands whose stage performances are better than the studio version
one of the best solos ever
Sounds like 4 professors playing here :)
Gotta love how cleanly you can see which string John Myung is playing. Mesmerizing.
Karya jenius ... rumit, unik, rancak, bening pula. Kalo ada di negeriku band yg bisa mengCover satu lagu ini aja, layak go internasional...

Nice! check out porcupine tree if u havent! They are prog like DT but more rock than metal.
Easily one of their best songs ever..!!!! Art at highest level..!!!
Best live band ever...hard to believe this isnt a studio recording. Dream Theater till death my friends!
Thank YOU, Mike Mangini!! And Welcome Back, Mike Portnoy!!

Myung "..."
Eu vindo aqui em 2022, depois de assistir o show deles no Rock Rio. Nunca tinha ouvido essa banda mais agora sei que é muito bom
John Myung ! The Boss of the bass !
Точняк
My only complaint... they needed to turn him up a bit
don't forget, we've got Davie504
what i like most of DT, they don't try hard to play such complex songs. they're all relaxed.
