Progressive Nation 2009 - Steve Vai and Dweezil Zappa join Dream Theater in LA

[stumpmed]

that explosion at 5:14 is sooo gooood !!

[Nettacki]

This was my first DT show. Turned out to be one of the best shows I've ever been to.

[Misheardz]

wtf! this is all was in the break of 'beyond this life?' i just thought it was some random jam :P

[xxJimster94xx]

@Misheardz yea its pretty cool u shuld check the jam during the budokan version of beyond this life petrucci like expodes at the end of his solo

[knucklevoice]

Possibly the greatest show I've ever been to....

[FatMancubus]

poor jm and mp

[ShadowLancer128]

@megastep;

Thank YOU! because you uploaded this, I saw The most recent event which contained Steve Vai, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess. and as if it weren't enough,

I saw Dweezil Zappa up there too.

A stage FULL of Genius and rarity!

again, THANK YOU! for being the ultimate fan of progressive and instrumental music.

[gangsterthomas1000]

is this in the break of Beyond this life?

[biborka2008]

---Zappa, fia, Dweez,

[MEXIPIMP1910]

Mike Portnoy reminds me of silent bob

[redhavok666]

thumbs up dweezil for next g3!

[hurtztwopee]

They didnt manage to film the part where everyone in the crowd dies due to the tremendous amount erupting from the stage.

[volandinho555]

beyond this life...haha

[stumpmed]

at 5:15 when petrucci played ...that was like an explosion...The BEST

[proggod876]

i was at that exact concert, so i saw steve vai, dream theater, zappa plays zappa,

scale the simmit and big elf at that concert, that show was amazing

[Wiiman895]

Kinda reminds me of the G3 tour...

[santyrush]

Oh my God, Steve Vai playing with Dream Theater, hahahaha......  very interesting... really surprise jam...for me...... sounds devastating, terrifying..... magnific.

[HoHenHein]

it seems like one of my dreams come true :D

[ai4281]

So lucky! I was at Progressive Nation 2009 in Montreal, and no Vai there.

[7uckytv]

Man this is the first time ive ever seen Vai and Ruddess jam together, 2 of the greatest musicians i have ever heard. I put hand on heart when i say that because its true, they kick ass!!!

[Essacep]

Vai got killed by petrucci in here.

[damnedkeys]

Amazing!!!

[rubiconuk1981]

Wish he'd keep the camera pointed at who was playing.

[biborka2008]

---Akkor az urak itt most kicsit zenélgetnek !

[Kapoonnn]

isnt it the jam from beyond this life live @ budokan ? i think so

[rubiconuk1981]

Nope, definately prog nation 2009. I recognise the decor on stage.

[ExileFreedom]

@Kapoonnn yea it is

[jkvasn]

i dig zappa's tone

[trongs01]

its the g4!

[williiiee]

amazing musicians!!!

[GARCRY]

realmente entre rudess, vai y pètrucci, no se noto zappa

[IMSOJIZZFUL]

Zappa sucked imo... really he just ruined it for me. Get Joe Satriani in there or paul gilbert and then THAT will be EPIC

[GreenMeanie2007]

Vai tearing it up LOL

[Adongalra]

I love how Rudess just disappears, reappears at 3:33 , disappears again, and then shows up at 4:04 to join in on the epicness

[MG42able]

there ARE GODS in that stage!!!

[Jpprflrp]

On that stage.

[whammybarfreak]

too epic! this is like a very epic G3! i wish they did this when progressive nation was in atlanta, i would have been killed by the epicness!

[jesse1291]

too much awesomeness on one stage

[bitchwhorecuntt]

Rudess is a fucking monster with that thing.

[soulcry66]

steve vai , petrucci . dwezzil . rudess. mike..............and myung in his own world

[orcio]

I hope they'll make a dvd of this!

[TheMaidenfan555]

that would be great

[TheMaidenfan555]

What a Hell of a show that was

That was my first time seeing DT (DREAM THEATER)

Live

man that was such a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[enfermomayor]

Wuau... be Petrucci in the stage could be so hard... but be with steve vai... what kind of presion is that?

[ThePathofHavoc]

Wow, not a whole lot of room for Dweezil. Otherwise, really cool.

[Timmato]

Man... when Steve came down to the front row....i went up, but he was talking...i was six inches away from me...when i looked over at my dad, steve looked at me... and then i looked back at him, he turned away...and then he had to leave...I continue to punch myself...

[Timmato]

I died seven times while this was going on...intense...

[xXNitramGtaXx]

me too man

[nemogre]

i bet vai, when jordan is playing, is thinking: i wish i had this guy in my band..lol..i mean he would make vai sound great

[nemogre]

when steve plays everybody shuts the fuck up...hehe

[GuillermoSmyser]

by the time you get to 7:32 there is one person's arm that is in the light but no other part of the audience. it's like the arm is jamming too.

[theevhdisciple]

best show i've ever been to in my life!!!

[YtseJam16]

OH. MY. GOD. I just can't fathom it... Steve Vai and Dream Theater on stage.. it's like, Mount Olympus.

[Aurelius27x]

I know right? I never thought I'd see this day.

[zerowasp]

i was there! when Portnoy said "STEVE VAI" and i saw him, i flipped! IT WAS AWESOME!

[jsd1982]

I wonder if this is in the Beyond This Life breakdown?

[YtseJam92]

It is indeed.

[WestonMossman]

Yes.

[XMitsuhideX]

Judging by the baseline, sounds like it. I just watched Live at Budokan so it's fresh in my mind.

[UnWantedProduction]

@jsd1982 yes it was i do believe

[Rickles]

Excuse me, I need to go to the hospital to see if they can fix my jaw, as it just hit the floor...

[mitzfah13]

oh my god I wish i had gone to this concert. i went to san jose and it was great, but this would've been awesome

[mitzfah13]

that would have been the best surprise ever!!!

[seanarrative]

god damn that was so much fun!

[TheDoomMerchant]

Didn't get to see any sort of jam in San Jose, but, man do these guys put on a show!

[flundyin]

i was there, AMAZING CONCERT

[TheBurnievator]

Damn you all getting the last night of the NA tour!

Seriously though, I'm jealous. Seeing Vai and these guys would've probably made my head explode from all the awesomeness.

[squeek52]

I was there it was awesome. I got a pic with Labrie, Petrucci, and Rudess, and I got to shake Steve vais hand and get an autograph.

[ninjastep87]

never going to a vegas show again in my life....:(

[visionquest09]

I live in Vegas, but I'm glad I made the trip for this show. Everything I heard about the Vegas show lead me to believe that the LA show was better. Besides, I got to see Steve Vai and Dweezil Zappa jam with Dream Theater!!!

[Ph0enix57]

this was such a fucking amazing concert, every single band was awesome. i got my picture with scale the summit =D

[dtopeth2]

No this was LA at the Greek Theatre...Last night of the tour...

You have no idea how priveledged to have so many jams in one night, we had all the drummers play on MP's kit.

We had a G4 (not G3): JP, Dweezil, Vai, and Ruddess...We were so lucky I was there

[centrocampista]

Awesome :0)

[iClank2000]

i was there it was orgasmic

[defcon777]

I went to the night before in San Jose.....why couldn't Vai show up then?......it was an amazing show nonetheless

[HybridSprinter08]

where were you @ san jose? I was there! HOLLOW YEARS WAS AMAZING

[megastep]

Vai lives in LA, that helps. He often shows up when his friends are in town. :)

[ShadowLancer128]

@megastep and Vai lives in Encino, so ???

[GabicoRC]

great!!!

[whosnext1234567]

how asowme was this i was right up agents the stage and then i got back stage after the show and hung out with all these guys they are so awsome best night if my life

[murfstatus]

[Pohrobek]

PETRUCCIIIIIII 5:16.... he´s my god....!!!!!

[powerslavex18]

this show was amazing. i remember being in my seat and then just thinking, "Holy shit, Steve Vai is sitting right in front of me!" He sat in the front row of th A section to watch Zappa Plays Zappa.

[jettvixen]

This was so cool in person! I was hoarse from cheering afterwards. :)

[JacobSteuer]

I was there

Would you believe me if I said it was better than not being there?

[Soundchaser88]

no. i definitely dont believe you.

[EcuPirates198]

i like the 7 billion people taking videos close enough for rudess to reach down and grab the cameras out of their hands, haha

[shanebieda]

That was soooooo amazing! OMG! my friends dad talked to Steve because he went to go get a drink when the concert was going and Steve Vai was just hanging around at the bar before the show started. When Steve Vai came on he was like, "I was just talking to that guy!"

[IWishIWasFinnish]

I wish i was so close, but that was a fucking AMAZING show! Steve Vai coming to play, jesus, what a huge suprise! I'm so glad LA got the last show

[PapaBeats1]

[RememberDeath2112]

[clutchac]

DREAM THEATER ROCKED LAST NIGHT!

[GH05THUNT3R17]

[baseballplayaice]

[ResultsMayVary10]

This jam was during "Beyond This Life" which was the last song before the encore for the Dream Theater set.

[shanebieda]

[Ratchetftw]

I think it was during Beyond this life, cause they went back into it right after

[baseballplayaice]

[RODTheMaster]

That was a freaking awesome show. Loved when Rudess came out with the keytar, it was great.

[pvtstabler]

I was on the other side and I must say that this concert was mind blowing! It was so sick!

[EyeForAnEye562]

Such an amazing show, I was standing in the front in the pit and I shook Rudess' hand. Mind blowing show, love the special guests.

[blindguardian805]

That was jaw dropping do you have the video of all the drummers playing on mike's drums??
