I'm a big fan from DT and Mr. James Labrie, for me he's the best of whole Rock history but, on this show high notes are a trouble for him,but i saw them nowadays (03/20/10) Rio de Janeiro and James was FUCKING AWESOME singing old songs like TAKE THE TIME, THE MIRROR and LIE perfectly, his old grolw is back,the best part was on Take the Time[ I THINK IT'S FOR A CHAAAAAAAAANGEEEEE!
Well said constantinosbassman. Even Pat Benatar has changed the way she sings due to overuse many many years and she is older now too. A voice matures and gets deeper and the deeper ranges are actually stronger than in the early years of singing which were more thin sounding. The professional musician does so many shows in their career it's amazing they can still sing at all. Rock on!
james is a sick singer even now i mean look at 2:49 yea he didnt sing it in head voice but he hit the note with clarity and it fit just like it would in the original
ehm...it's clear, you're right...but it's head voice, like it should be...even in the record it's in head voice (with a slightly mixed compression)...
OVerall a great performance :) LaBrie sounds nice here but some higher parts were adapted for his current voice condition... Damn food poisoning, if only he could sound live like he did back in the early nineties especialy on the Manhattan show(not so technicaly profined by him but great energy)... The home sweet home bootleg is also evidence about his voice deteriroration because on that recording he easily sings throu the high passages...
@lVeljkol I blame the band's constant wish to become metal, making labrie sound heavier album after album. back in the early 90's, when he didn't have to do drives and stuff, his voice was crystal-like, so smooth, soft and brilliant. seems like he didn't have the technique to sing heavier songs and it blew out his throat =(
To ALL People who have never sang PROFFETIONALY... The voice is a mussle. If abuses,( strained, torn, scratched by food or any form of OVER DOING IT like extensive touring will have a HUGE affect on short and long time performance. We dont have the LUXARY of swaping one out for a new set like a new set of guitar strings when they go bad. People wonder why vocalist sound bad sometimes. Ponder no longer
Have people talked about Dream Theater to change singer?!?!?! Are you people sychic fucked up or what? Dream theter should NOT do the same fucking huge misstake as Nightweish once did.
I don't know why people are pissed off on labrie (the singer)
This is an maasive hard song to sing and i think he does a great job. He isnt pure all the times but he is part of what makes Dream Theater. New singer would only make the band fucking suck.
Iceskateprincess is in fact a dude. Who is gay. Just mentioning.

I guess anyone that wastes their money to hear what he calls singing would cry these days, thinking about the money wasted. His singing is horrible, and I think it's too many years to blame the food poisoning now. He is just a lousy singer. And he's fat and uglier than ever now too. He looks like a jail convict with that short haircut, lmao.
James is a true trooper he could have cancelled a few shows to heal from the food poisoning but he didn't he forced it out and he did it for the fans and he deserves a lot more credit than the crap he gets these days, keep it up james
Post a video and show me if you can hit those notes, it is really hard and he used to be able to do it. Do that and I will shut my mouth but James has been with DT since I&W I would not want to get rid of him and as for the new album he sounds like he is playing it safe but it works so stop giving him shit
He can't hit the notes any more and the band has to alter songs because he can't sing them. So they need to get rid of him and get a singer that can sing and looks decent. So people have to go to a sucky concert and get lousy music because for no good reason they choose to be loyal to an ugky fat pig that just cannot do it.
It wouldn't be DT anymore if James left the band and honestly it just sounds like you don't even like DT. I am a guitarist and I am more interested in the music rather than the vocals so it doesn't bother me. I've been to 4 DT concerts and I have to say that the concerts are not suck along with the thousands of fans I see when I go to those concerts.

He simply can´t sing this song as he does on the record... hi is not a very good singer, I can´t understand why anybody would praise his skills at all!!
es cierto que james labrie a partir del 95 nunca fue un gran cantante en vivo por varios problemas q tuvo con su voz, pero antes, era un gran vocalista en vivo, el dvd de vivo en tokyo en el 92 o 93 lo prueba
I really like how Jordan made his solos sound like an actual saxophone, like the recording. When Kevin played it live, he just made it sound like a synth.
es cierto que james labrie a partir del 95 nunca fue un gran cantante en vivo por varios problemas q tuvo con su voz, pero antes, era un gran vocalista en vivo, el dvd de vivo en tokyo en el 92 o 93 lo prueba, admeas de considerar q los temas de images and words son temas altamente exigidos para cantar y lo hace excelente en vivo.
tubo problemas con la voz? en tokyo la rompio mal, fue de los mejores recitales de dt para mi, que la paso a labrie? ahora tiene una voz medio fea aveces., saludos
opino lo mismo q vos. en tokyo era excelente la voz pero como casi todos los cantantes se le deterioro un poco la voz y no puede llegar a notas q llega antes. aun asi sigue siendo buena
They never play this song at the exact tempo on the album--or at least from what I have heard. (Obviously I haven't heard every live performance of this.)
James should be able to sing this song better now. This was years ago. How can you tell? By john's hair. He's grown it out a bit since this was taped so it's been a while and James improved tremendously comparing the "Score" DVD to the "Budokan" one.
Yeah, I guess you can do the hair thing with a lot of bands. Another big example of this is with Children of Bodom's keyboardist. The shorter his hair is, the earlier in their career it is, although now it's pretty much topped out so maybe another band member will have to cut their hair or something. Heheheh.
I didnt know Jordan could play the saxophone. LOL. I am the first one to stick up for James and his voice but he obviously didnt know he was being taped and perhaps was saving his voice for a future show. I think the worst thing is a taped DVD concert and James crackling a high note out for everyone to see. What a shame that would be. This was the tour with Queensryche, i missed it but what a great show that would have been.
A new video has surfaced on youtube of 1992 john and james sit down and do a acoustic version iof this ..the singing is beutiful and so is the new guitar parts.
