Hi, I'm Dean Wolfe, Canadian classic prog rock guitar teacher on TH-cam. I grew up on classic 70s prog but abandoned it in the late 80s. Prog seemed dead and my orig. prog band was told by labels we were too prog. So i went onto grunge, pop, then folk, then strictly acoustic solo guitar etc...staying loyal to my staples like Yes and Rush, BUT 2020 was the year of my return to prog and the discovery that SO much great prog went on that I'd totally missed out on. So join me as I catch up on 30 years of prog!

Gotta love Leprous man!! I’ve seen them play this song live twice, and they’re KILLING it. I think it’s fair to say that this song is a masterpiece. The timesignature is 11/4 and they make it sound easy.
I loved watching this react. Now do a full album react to The Congregation or Malina. Lets do it🙏🏻🥳😂
Btw; give yourself a treat and watch Baard Kolstads drum playthrough of this beast of a song. Its mindbendingly good.
Ah, this made my day! Thank you, Dean!
That’s so true, I literally get goosebumps from this song..
This channel is such trash. I don't know how you nerds sub to this. Mine is way better.
René! I have now also heard this song played live twice, and I can't begin to describe the friggin JOY I feel when that guitar rips back in (at about 6:20 in this vid) after the pause live. It's like ecstasy!!!
I finally got a dang T-shirt this time, too. 😉😋
@@jennifer9047 Soo happy for you! It is AWESOME live. One of my favourite songs, for sure🥳🥳🙌
@@jennifer9047 I just saw this live for the fifth time in a year a few days ago and each and every time I'm crying my eyes out and I'm just absolutely exhausted after the song...
You are in for a treat! The drummer Baard Kolstad is superhuman! Watch his play through on drums of this song
Yeah, Baard is drumming demigod for sure.
Yeah! The drum play through video Baard did is incredible!
Was going to recommend the playthrough. Watching him distroy sticks was mind blowing.
The drum playthrough is amazing!
Just caught this. Was about to recommend the very same thing! Baard is something else.
Fun Fact: Einar Solberg, the vocalist, wrote and composed the song in about an hour and a half in a flow state. The song is in 11/8 and the final note lands on 11:11. Great reaction!
Leprous is easily one of my favorite modern bands. Would love to see an album reaction to The Congregation.
Here here! Seconded! 👍
Never heard the bands music until now. Band is so tight. Singer has a ethereal voice, very operatic.
I find myself coming back to this reaction over and over again, because I love how it illustrates so well what music is all about. Escapism. Full immersion. Emotion. Playfulness.
Your goosebumps, little smiles, forgetting to take notes, it's what makes this reaction for me.
cool, thanks very much
As Yogev Gabay put it, this is the grooviest 11 ever!! The outro is just jaw-dropping.
Saw them live with The Ocean (Port Noir opened the show). What a concert!
Had to watch this again🥳😂 I think this is my fav reactvid. Such a great song! Cheers, Dean!
Leprous' music is on another level. I had the same reaction when I heard The Sky is Red at the end of the Pitfalls album. I have a feeling more Leprous is in store :)
Like others have said, definitely watch the drum playthrough of this song. Or any Leprous song for the matter. Baard is one of the best drummers to ever walk this planet. I've enjoyed seeing your adventures through Prog. I don't think you've listened to Tesseract yet which is surprising. Definitely check them out. I'd start with the song "King". Leprous and Tesseract are a couple of my ultimate favorites.
You should react to Distant Bells by them, that song is also a great example of how they build up the song bit by bit.
I have hard time enjoying metal when the singing is more screaming and yelling, the melody is lost on me, but the mix of heavy guitars, multiple tempo changes and a beautiful melodic vocal melody always gets me, it's the best of both worlds, an enjoyable listen! Have a great day everyone
thanks man
Had a crappy day. Watched this (again), and now I’m smiling. This song is a true masterpiece🙏🏻
Masterpiece song! One of the greatest and most talented bands out there!! Amazing vocals, drums, guitars, everything!
One of the best "prog" songs ever recorded, period!
Gracias Dean por hacerme conocer esta gran banda.Saludos desde Buenos Aires 🎶🎵🇦🇷
Another epic Leprous song is Contaminate Me. You should definitely react to it. Its one of my favorites beside this song.
Aw, YESSS!!! What a PERFECT birthday present! Thanks, Dean!
Isn't this song spectacular? You definitely need to watch Baard's drum playthrough vid. Especially if you enjoy the snare and hat-work.
🌀🌀🌀!!!
Happy birthday 🙌😎
@@deanwolfechannel Thanks, man! Hey, when's yours?
Late March
@@deanwolfechannel Aw, missed it this year. 😖 We'll getcha next time around!
(You seem like an Aries...🐏)
Aries, yes!
Nice to experience something that fresh and original in the prog space
That's the natural reaction I always think people supposed to have. Sometimes I think people really doesn't get the greatness of Leprous!
And that guitarsolo... Just wow!
Saw them this past Monday night here in Arizona. First time ever seeing them live, and HOLY S H I T .............. unreal.
I was there. My 3rd time. The feeling in the room was electric. The best performance I’ve seen from them. They just get better and better.
Well mate. Gday from Oz.
You just introduced me to These guys. I m now hooked. Done!!!
This drum track by Baard Kolstad is a masterpiece !!!!
th-cam.com/video/986iAyQpr1U/w-d-xo.html this is a perfect proof why :)
Masterpiece of them and another nice reaction ! As dig into it you'll see how they're authentic. Also would glad to see reaction of "the congregation" album which deserves checking out.
Prob will do that album
@@deanwolfechannel great news ! 😊
One of my favorite bands and great live also.
i friggin love Leprous!
Stoked you did this! I haven't even watched yet but I know you're gonna love it. I only discovered the song a few weeks ago but have listened to it about 20 times now. Blows me away every time.
Definitely my favorite track on this album, and it's really awesome having a old-school sounding guitar solo in it, the first solo in like.. 4 albums now. What a treat of an outro to the album, and to think they almost didn't put it in. Glad they did.
Love how cello solos have become more of a Leprous staple than guitar solos
Leprous at last!
Heard a interview with them on a prog cast podcast. Very interesting
It socked the knock out of me too
Thank you!
We're through the looking glass, people. 😁
I totally agree with you, this song is so epic... something that comes from somewhere, the universe that hits you in the gut and speaks to you. I love this apocalyptic ending.
Yay, leprous!
Thanks
you need to sit with full album they are one of top 10 prog bands out there
New Leprous song out today, just saying. It is different, and I love it👌
I have a leprous song on request I have to do first. Will jump on that asap tho, thanks for the heads up
3:52 SH*T
that's how I reacted
Wish Leprous got more love, they are the next Queen. Einar is the next Mercury. Listen to the new single by them Castaway Angels...gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
Finally. That jump at the begining was so funny :D Is it ok if i share my instagram post at leprous concert the sky is red performance short video link here? So people see how great performance they have. And i can clearly see you enjoy this more than any reaction in ur past had.
Sure

give Plini's Electric Sunrise a listen
Ok
Hey buddy! On Hold from the new Leprous album. Please!🙏🏻
ok!
Would love to see what you think of Metatron by The Mars Volta
Or Cavallettas...or Goliath. The whole album really!
It will happen
Dream Theater - Change of Seasons, Octavarium please :)
yah i've really gotta catch up with DT
It's strange how music hits us differently. I don't care for this track at all.
Although I have Leprous in my music folders, this is one I skip. Oh well, I still enjoyed your reaction to it. 🙂
You are very picky about vocals, right? My mom is, too. Although she loves Dean's channel and we watch together a lot, she always wants to skip to the next video if there's too much screaming and growling. 'Tis a pity, but I understand. 😊 It's not just that, some people's voices in general get her riled up - she can't stand Sinatra! (She mutters "rat bastard" under her breath whenever she hears him) Course, I'm that way with Billy Corrigan, so...
I just want people to sound like they're not performing another bodily function while they're singing. So don't worry- you're in good company, chica! 😊
Lol!
@@jennifer9047 😊 Yeah, vocals are everything for me. If they offend my ears, then I just can't listen, which is a damn shame when the 'music' is exceptional.
@@deanwolfechannel 😅
I used to dislike Neil young cuz his vocals but I like him now.
