Sunday in September

[dillboy3333]

so, a message to Mr. Rudess. i am actaully just logging on to youtube now and searching your name to listen to these improvisations for hours on end. the comfort and joy it gives me to listen to you play truly cannot be described in words your music is plain beautiful and just helps me relax after a long day of work . thanks to you sir. keep on doing what makes you happy, because its sure making me feel the same way

[Vinocaful]

Dear Jordan,

First of all, I'm sorry about my bad engliseh, cause I'm just a student yet.I just want to say that I'm a big fan of your work, and I want you to be like a mirror for me, your music, technics and performance are amazing!You are the great Wizard!

[PwnYouAtSoccer]

i hate how youtube only lets you subscribe once to a person...

[VincioDifra]

mike...

[RazvanMr11]

It must be nice to sit around on a sunday , with nothing to do and somehow be able to create one of the most emotional and inspiring songs, i for one ,have heard. Respect!

[rayvert64]

chuck noris just cried....

[JakLiu100]

Epic Beard :D

[guicote]

It sounds so fucking amazing....I felt the same way as one of your video on the morphwiz

[smfleu]

kinda reminds me of the silent mountain

[R2RRancor]

there is a lot of emotion within this. seems like maybe sad and happy times.

[kevintje82onboard]

You knew it here didn't you...

[drummmer87]

@DzagielAreq dont agree on raw dog beeing an example of burnout. the made a heavy song for a game, not really much to do with dt itself

[gnanti]

these were the best of times ,like he siad

[Shellewell]

@DzagielAreq sorry to break it to you...

Theater has reached the end of an era

[nhonho23]

This fits the situation so very well.

But I guess this goes without saying.

Best of luck to you guys. It's not the end, right?

[rudess84]

JCR.....please say to Portnoy that he have to change idea...please...

Dream Theater without Mike will not be the same...

[Redrain87]

now I know why you're in this mood....

[Irockman1]

@DzagielAreq .. Mike Portnoy left dream theater.

[teokiatuan2]

1:08 to 1:12 reminds me of octavarium

[Irockman1]

I just cried a little listening to this. Whether you knew about Mike leaving or not when you performed this, this certainly fits the present mood.

[misterfuzzykins]

"to fit the mood"

I think he knew at this point. As much of an MP fan as I was, the fans are all here for you; we love and support you and rest of DT, I know you guys can make it work.

just do me a favour, get a kickass new drummer! :)

a die-hard canadian dream theater fan,

stephen

[BlaDrago]

I believe Jordan knew Mike's decision when he played those two pieces... I mean, it matches... the mood, the period...

It hurts to read MP's thoughts about this... DT have been the band that daily kicked my guitarist ass to getting better for years... this is a true killing news.. what's next...?

[ibizadr]

jordaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan im depressed... how could MP leave the band? =(

[Rafidaq2]

@ibizadr I know. Its so sad! JORDAN, Is it true? Is it a prank or hacker?

[ibizadr]

@DzagielAreq hahahahahahahaha

[damnation1928]

beautiful melody!

cheers from the Philippines!

[lasettimapianista]

It's pure magic...thank you...:)

[artstarnyc1]

@DzagielAreq tjhis must be a joke. how can you Beat a technique? he played exactly what he wanted to play

[Bochie777]

Who ever it was that disliked this video I MUST KILL!

[blackwoodma]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[agm2004]

This stuff is really beautiful jordan. A nice break from listening to metal and rock.

[Trashhell123]

@JCRUDESS have you ever thought of playing together with Chick Corea?

[ThiagoCamposOfficial]

Beautiful JR! These are still my favorite videos to watch of yours, when it's just you and the piano.

[passgodtpaadegselv]

God wears jeans?

[onixtheone]

all i can say is wow...i wish i learned from this guy im a guitarist but i wouldnt mind learning this on guitar lol

[xGarettx]

this is for all those who keep saying that rudess doesn't have emotion when he plays....

[TinselBass]

I want more of this

[chaptainchaos204]

What is that weird looking thing that he's sitting on?? lmao

[knumorvid]

@chaptainchaos204 his ass

[chaptainchaos204]

[PisasterOchraceus5]

One dislike? We must hunt him down.

[Alexiaden93]

@PisasterOchraceus5 Probably John Petrucci

* begs Petrucci for mercy *

[dussan007]

I'm always the 302 man who watch's your video

[CityLights2009]

Genius. It's your technical proficiency that originally grabbed my attention when I first heard your contributions to Dream Theater but now that I've had time to watch Dream Theater progress alongside you, it's your compositional brilliance that keeps me coming back.

[frqncymntr]

Just goes to prove that the piano will never become obsolete when it comes to people like Jordan producing such amazing improv's.

[davidcon]

I missed you, Jordan. :*)

[Typh0nMagi1]

Your music always makes me happy,but also in a way makes me sad that I can't play piano half as good as you.

Your improv is amazing!

[SjPedro]

breathtaking! Even though I love your improvs on morphwiz and other apps I enjoy this kind of thing even more :)

[Kisamefan2]

Thank you for sharing this with us

[dreamdzero]

[ClosingTheCircle]

Thank you Jordan for getting back to piano stuff ! :D

[mulanovich]

In all intention i dont mean to be mean... but if everytime you are in a mood like that you create this wonderfull pieces... then hope you feel that way more often ;)

[666guitarfreak]

how do you like the zoom Q3? im considdering buying one to tape band practice.

[JackeShanTwo]

Awesome !

[BLooDCoMPleX]

My GOD! You, Mr. Wizard are a materialized piece of art (I know I spelled that wrong). We have definetly missed your key-works.You are the best keyboard player I've seen/heard.

[HLkiller2]

Damnit! I also want to know all that stuff about tones, harmonics, chords EVERYTHING!

I don't know shit when it comes to theory! I keep redoing stuff people learning ages ago and I'm too lazy and busy to take some time to learn it all...

[DumbShitOnGuitar]

@HLkiller2 just go wikipedia print the whole theory stuff out and read it and play meanwhile .. helped me a lot!

[HLkiller2]

@DumbShitOnGuitar

You know what? I am!

[HLkiller2]
