His kits are absolute rock perfection. Every cymbal, kick, tom and snare. Just amazing. I hate manginis 80’s sounding brilliant zildjians. Horrible for DT. No crack or punch in the drums at all.
Actually, he had this mirror put in to keep an eye on the conductor of the orchestra behind him. After this show however, he kept it to help him monitor the video feeds/cues during the show, as when he was in the band this was something he took care of.
Not Portnoy is what stones me in this video, but the professionality of his team.. the audio, the lighting, the techs, and the attention and care they watch out for each other.
The flawlessness playing is just mesmerizing. He has no equal in that regard , in my humble estimation. Kudos always to you Mr. Pornoy. To me you are the Best👍👍👍👍👍
Rip dream theater :( this was truly a masterpiece and their best song.. Portnoy is greatly missed. This song and others can not be replicated by any other drummer
@@albertorochareyes2427 you can do that with any other drummer as well with exception of Thomas Lang. Replicating is easy, bring the creator = that’s a different beast. You’re clearly a notice at best if you’re even a drummer lol
Some people really like to point out the mistakes made by the players. I actually like seeing mistakes here and there; they remind me that the music could all fall apart at any moment and that it takes talent and persistence to keep it together. I want to be reminded that DT, in all their glory, were not robots or windup dolls. They are fallible and that makes it even more exciting when they DO keep it together.
That "edge" Dream Theater had is no more. As a band they most definitely had a swagger about them. You cant compare what we would be saying if Mangini began with Dream Theater, but from this point the band was a special unit for. Portnoy was such fanatic of drumming. Fun to watch
aakkoin The mirror was there so he could keep an eye on the video show behind the band, certain cues, and whatnot. I believe he was in charge of all that when he was in the band.
Portnoy must use a wheelbarrow to get around, to carry his huge balls. What a stud. Nobody is playing like this right now except him. And we all used to say the same thing about, Rich, Bonham, Aldridge, and Peart...who is after Portnoy?...they are probably coloring with their Crayolas right now...
Que diferença gigantesca em assistir a performance de Portnoy a música ganha alma, Mangine é um excelente músico mas no quesito sensibilidade musical não tem como, isso vem de dentro poucos bateristas possuem isso... só se ver isso em bateristas como Portnoy, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Ian Paice e no meu Brasil coloco nesta lista de gigantes o nosso Aquiles Priester um músico extraordinário...
makes me miss my tama drum kit... i gave it away before i left for florida to become a marine biologist and learn about nature & stuff ... sure enough, i am so envious of Mike right now... i wish could play drums again ....oh well not for me .... i will just vicariously enjoy Mike jamming for now
True, but "Take Away My Pain" is about Petrucci's dad's death, which is a personal song he would of loved to be on the album. But I get where your coming from. I would of loved to see "Raise The Knife" on FII. Portnoy's lyrics are always great.
Mike Mangini cant even touch this song.. DT when down the drain hard after on the backs of angels.. Portnoy is dearly missed and was the brains behind DT.
Have I thanked you for your time? Or will your life go unrewarded Again? Never asking for a dime You just gave all of yourself Until I turned my back on you My friend The powers that be made you a martyr Conspiracy led you to slaughter I tried to control it but as soon as I showed it I was shot down again Once again outnumbered Appreciation slumbered You can ask yourself why But that look in your eye Doesn't pass the test You've been laid to rest my friend Again Tortured artist bears his soul Seems the pressure took its toll Lived a life so punishing Now he keeps the publishing Spilling your guts out to a pad and pen Communication to your silent friend Raising the knife To a picture of a life (I once knew) There comes a time Compromising my life (Just won't do) I cannot lie I can't try anymore (To reach you) I just can't fight Raise the knife Raise the knife Cut through I remember once you were the quiet type Content to sit and watch the motions of your life With false sensitivity You cut yourself open so people would adore you They all bought into your contrived sincerity And how you wore your heart and soul right on your sleeve Laughing sarcastically You turned your back on the people who adored you Self-absorbed exhaustion Self-esteem distortion Self-infused extortion Self-serving abortion I'll take the blame for these things that I say 'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay Every day I won't walk away Reading through all the digests you show me I notice the way that you think you control me Doubting my future, you don't even know me But I never walked out on you
In retrospect, a Falling Into Infinity with "Raise The Knife", "Speak To Me" & the original demo version of "You *Or* Me" and without (fill in your own pick, but I could do without "Just Let Me Breathe" & "Take Away My Pain") would have been MUCH more widely received by the fanbase at the time.
Come si vede in questo video portnoy non ha rivali e unico ha un saund unico e veramente unico .non prendetevela specie Maich mancini purtroppo non potrai mai avvicinarti a portnoy mai portnoy e unico il suo tocco la sua velocità e il suo sound e unico
DT will always be my favorite progressive metal group. However, creative differences and knocking heads are as old as time itself. Mike did what he felt he needed to do, and would most likely do it again. Knowing Mike, John, and Jordan professionally, I would give educated speculation that after things quietly 'blew up' between them, there was no going back. Mike would have been at home with a change into AX7, but it was not to be, much to his surprise. Mike's working with Derek again right now.
Portnoy count on an electric drum pad with his left hand, wichich clicking the count in the earmonitors of the other band members. ;-) That's the trick! :D
J Lama it’s a reference to the show Lost. Mike was a huge fan of it. The Octavarium octagon symbol is similar to the Dharma Initiative symbol used in Lost. The numbers are used in the show 4 8 15 16 23 42
ProgresivePrototipe you can be right :) but its nicely done. Its chalenging to see more . :) Dont get me erong , i love those guys but i can understand that when you are salle a product, you want to be perfect :))

Welcome back Mike!!!
God I miss this drum sound! Even though I love Mangini a part of me will always miss Portnoy!
Erik B Larsson nothing like the original member's.
His kits are absolute rock perfection. Every cymbal, kick, tom and snare. Just amazing. I hate manginis 80’s sounding brilliant zildjians. Horrible for DT. No crack or punch in the drums at all.
Hater.
Its not just the drumsound dude. MP wrote most of the songs and the music
Give me MP's drum sound ANYTIME, sadly its what's missing from DT.
Actually, he had this mirror put in to keep an eye on the conductor of the orchestra behind him. After this show however, he kept it to help him monitor the video feeds/cues during the show, as when he was in the band this was something he took care of.
I can't believe they never released this song. It's one of my favorites :(
Álbum 1994
@@r3l_K13 this song is not even off Awake. This song is from Falling Into Infinity
@@taniacampagnac2949 I've heard the "studio" version of Raise the Knife and I have to say this live version is superior in every way.
@@sarcasticguy4311 That's because it was just a demo
lyrically embarassing
One of DT's the coolest drum songs
1:55 -- ah yes, the Poland Spring fill. Very difficult, very rare.
The song has lot of good fills, but there is nothing difficult or rare in 1:55.
@@DcCoO I was just goofin man!
Not Portnoy is what stones me in this video, but the professionality of his team.. the audio, the lighting, the techs, and the attention and care they watch out for each other.
I genuinely love the snare sound from 10:55 til the end. So much punch and such a deep and full sound. That's what I call a properly tuned snare.
Was there for this show ... never forget how awesome it was ! Mike , thanks for all you do !
this is damn creative...beautiful fills..and all the things he does to spice up..all..i mean aah...mikeeee
Such an incredibly talented, musical drummer. One of a kind, MP is.
no one can replace you.. master
Stop crying he's back bro.
This song has so much balls to it. I wish it made it on the album -,-
The flawlessness playing is just mesmerizing. He has no equal in that regard , in my humble estimation. Kudos always to you Mr. Pornoy.
To me you are the Best👍👍👍👍👍
one of my favourite DT songs. Always loved Mike's drumming.
I know this is a drum cam but James sounded pretty great here.
Splash cymbal orchestration of this song is very creative 👍. miss you so much MP
This is the exact crispy sound of how a snare should be tuned. And overall great performance.
Yes! That is one of my pet peeves. The snare should not sound like a cardboard box! You nailed it.
Rip dream theater :( this was truly a masterpiece and their best song.. Portnoy is greatly missed. This song and others can not be replicated by any other drummer
I agree
U can literally watch other drummers replicate DT songs on utube 😂
@@albertorochareyes2427 you can do that with any other drummer as well with exception of Thomas Lang. Replicating is easy, bring the creator = that’s a different beast. You’re clearly a notice at best if you’re even a drummer lol
Now he’s back. All these years later I knew it was inevitable 😊
God damn you're all over dramatic af. He's back and DT never died because one guy left, that's hilarious.
I've seen this live song 100 times but this view is truly cool!
Some people really like to point out the mistakes made by the players. I actually like seeing mistakes here and there; they remind me that the music could all fall apart at any moment and that it takes talent and persistence to keep it together.

You should watch the video of Simon Phillips: mistakes. Very funny.
He`s out of this world. !!!
Best port boy performance ever was this tour
Oh man I forgot how much i miss him in Dream Theater. He was (is) SO GOOD!
2:50 fuckin nice linear fill
Excelent Mike Portnoy., the best of world , and the best of all times
Mike is still #1. He always will!!
That "edge" Dream Theater had is no more. As a band they most definitely had a swagger about them. You cant compare what we would be saying if Mangini began with Dream Theater, but from this point the band was a special unit for. Portnoy was such fanatic of drumming. Fun to watch
IndepenDRUM1 we can’t compare apples to oranges.
Mr. Portnoy is the best of all coz ..... classic so cool....
I miss Mike Portnoy 😢
Ein Traum wird war, endlich mal ein Song, bei dem man nur den Drummer sieht! ;-)
This guy would sound really good in Dream Theater
lol
Love this haha 😄 well things change for the best
This Guy is Dream Theater
@@Cashiez they sure do (:
Well, you got your wish :)
true spirit of DT!
Mike portnoy is the only one who could sing through his drums!
DT died with having portnoy let go!
They will never have the same energy and power again!
energy , power, and soul
This Album is DT at their peak
You mean this concert...and yes...definitely 👍
@@Ricki_Snow or maybe the album this music were planned to be part of but was taken off from
My favourite song. No idea how it didn't even make it to album.
hiurro they had issues with the new management at their record label at the time. The whole album was rewritten and the band almost broke up
The best 🤙🏽
Fantastic, as always. Mike will always be one of the greatest of all time.
Mike only had to correct his eyeglasses 27 times during the song.
And now you have 27 likes!
@@kevinmeli 😂 lol
And he did that in 7/8 :P
Can you do that?
29
Simply the best... 👍👍
Without Mr. Portnoy DT has no soul!!!
Really missing this guys .....
shivers down my spine
Alus pisan lagu ieu, geura balik deui Mike
I miss this guy. Such a great drummer. 😔
podo cuk...eman kalau portnoy leave the band 😔
aakkoin The mirror was there so he could keep an eye on the video show behind the band, certain cues, and whatnot. I believe he was in charge of all that when he was in the band.
I think the mirror was for keeping an eye on the conductor, as this was from the Score concert...

I love this song... But from 10:02 is the best part.... Chills through my body every time that i hear it...
I love it so much

GREAT!!!!!
More perfect that one human can do
God i miss him!
I miss this man in Dream Theater, I need him.
Here he is... Finally 😉
They were great together !
Happy birthday!!!

this one is my favourite song want pratice this song on drums..
O melhor
DT will never be DT without MP
Batera tira onda sé louco 😜
Mike portnoy e foda
What a lucky man ... 🤤🤤
for me, it's the best final Dream Theater's 20 years anniversary concert.
Como extraño a ESTE Portnoy......
2:04 Drinking water while hitting masterfully the Hi-Hat... Mr Pornoy has no equal period...
Nor is he missing a T in his name!
Mike Mangini cant even touch this song.. DT when down the drain hard after on the backs of angels.. Portnoy is dearly missed and was the brains behind DT.
go listen to A7V instead
andra widjaja honestly AX7s Nightmare album is miles better than anything DT has done in the last decade...
You don't even know what you are talking about , m8.
very good player.
this fuckin guy got 5 arms.....Un believable. ....
And he makes its looks so fucking easy.
Musica para culturizar, y avanzar al respecto.
The Best!!!! \m/.....\m/
I wonder why this song never made the album? I love this song!
Turns out to be my fav DT song If there is such a thing!
P.s. seen Mike play live, not this song though lol
hahaha nice burp at 2:01!
muita bom (y)
Have I thanked you for your time?
Or will your life go unrewarded
Again?
Never asking for a dime
You just gave all of yourself
Until I turned my back on you
My friend
The powers that be made you a martyr
Conspiracy led you to slaughter
I tried to control it but as soon as I showed it
I was shot down again
Once again outnumbered
Appreciation slumbered
You can ask yourself why
But that look in your eye
Doesn't pass the test
You've been laid to rest my friend
Again
Tortured artist bears his soul
Seems the pressure took its toll
Lived a life so punishing
Now he keeps the publishing
Spilling your guts out to a pad and pen
Communication to your silent friend
Raising the knife
To a picture of a life
(I once knew)
There comes a time
Compromising my life
(Just won't do)
I cannot lie
I can't try anymore
(To reach you)
I just can't fight
Raise the knife
Raise the knife
Cut through
I remember once you were the quiet type
Content to sit and watch the motions of your life
With false sensitivity
You cut yourself open so people would adore you
They all bought into your contrived sincerity
And how you wore your heart and soul right on your sleeve
Laughing sarcastically
You turned your back on the people who adored you
Self-absorbed exhaustion
Self-esteem distortion
Self-infused extortion
Self-serving abortion
I'll take the blame for these things that I say
'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay
Every day
I won't walk away
Reading through all the digests you show me
I notice the way that you think you control me
Doubting my future, you don't even know me
But I never walked out on you
In retrospect, a Falling Into Infinity with "Raise The Knife", "Speak To Me" & the original demo version of "You *Or* Me" and without (fill in your own pick, but I could do without "Just Let Me Breathe" & "Take Away My Pain") would have been MUCH more widely received by the fanbase at the time.

I wanna be the guy who is down of portnoy.. what a job...
This is it
AND he's adjusting his glasses every now and then.
9:29 post production 😉
If you're talking about the hits you can't here - it's an e-pad for the band's in-ears, only for cueing; the audience couldn't hear it either.
@@arielterkeltoub940 No, snare hits missing
9:29 - 9:31It's weird, is there some kind of editing?
