[echt35]

Check my vid for better quality

[NomSkull]

lmao @ the audio when the drums started. DUBSTEP FTWZ

[megadoomed100]

is that mangini's kit? or is a freaking drum store? anyway mangini is a good drummer :D

[bv310]

Kinda sounds like Blackwater Park-era Opeth. Not old DT, but great nonetheless.

[xFeloxX]

I'm really surprised that after all these years this band has prevailed in such this quality! Even though the audio is not the best (obviously, because it's just an amateur cam, fags!) real DT fans will realize that the song was played exactly as it is recorded! Even James, who sometimes tend to not being able to achieve some high pitches from their songs in live concerts, here he performed amazingly! As well as the rest of this marvelous band. I'm so proud of being a DT FAN! Thumbs if u agree!

[ghida44]

@xFeloxX yeah. you couldn't be more right. We are all so proud i guess!

[Zillaman67]

AWFUL audio...and I'm just SO TIRED of LaBrie's voice and style...I'm WAY more excited about ARCH/MATHEOS...

[coqui333]

bad audio.........

[gaarathekazekagelive]

@coqui333 il tipo che riprendeva hai capito dove stava? era lontanissimo... è già tanto che è venuto così....

[gonzalocga]

como el orto el video y el tema malísimo...les va pasar lo mismo que a Iron..2 discos malos con el nuevo batero y volverá en gloria y majestad Portnoy.

[leragequit]

This is awesome! I got VIP backstage tickets to see them in Dallas on Oct. 27th. So stoked!!

[CsffSmXa]

[jikarpert]

@njones1091 so!

[njones1091]

[jikarpert]

@njones1091 nah just lock at john petrucci and john myung and jordan!! hes like 54 ! and mangini is not fat

[ieetemos4breakfast]

I Hope Mike Mangini is being met by fans with welcoming and open arms.

[JPetrucci69]

John Petrucci & JPX = GOD

[TheSubdivisions]

Their beautiful music is molesting your camera!!!

[ilovemysr505]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!



[KiiNGDrUmMeR]

Wait... LaBrie says its called "On The Back Of Angels".. But everywhere else says its "On The Backs Of Angels" was it just easier for him to say the other way? amazing video though, thanks!

[dreamtheater745]

Mike Mangini owning the fucking stage and the song!

[BALLERICA]

It is cool they played this from the new album because DT has never played anything from material that has not been released.

[hippie6996]

@BALLERICA but this song has been released

[deathscythekim729]

now that's a drum funking kit!!

[zonic26]

I love this song, I think as a new single they should do a video on it and release it as an iTunes single before the album is released

[Sp4rk3rm3n]

is this the only song of the new album in this concert , and is this the first concert since mangini joined???

[zonic26]

@Sp4rk3rm3n Yes, this is the only song of A Dramtic Turn Of Events at this concert and yes it is the first one live with Mangini, I've noticed since they started playing with them all setlists have been the same

[EricVera539]

MM is sittin' on a little house ain't no drum kit! (: jaja

[wheresmywhiskey85]

FUCKING BAD ASS KIT!

[hitch1hiker]

@hereg2007 would love to hear this, count of tuscany again, under a glass moon, these walls, the ytse jam, and learning to live live, but the rest of the songs i dont really care for.

[Aloz16]

@hereg2007 I think I'll die. Because I know I can't go to that concert.

[Raffael900me]

@hereg2007 thats a fuckin nice list combos of every album n stuff NICE

[USAon3]

All I heard after the opening guitar was BVVV BVV BV BVVVVVVVV because this shit is waaay overmodulated.

[ownregent]

lol, i love how mangini;s drum set is more rediculas than portnoys :p

[FurlanPaolo]

I hate Mangini.

[RowenaSpiteFoul]

@FurlanPaolo WTF why would you hate him? He's a great drummer. Way better than MikeP--and IMO he has a better attitude than Mike. Enthusiastic and friendly without kind of being...idk...up in your face? No offense to Mp, I love him, I just like MM better :)

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

@RowenaSpiteFoul Not only you...I still love MP..but he left...and Mangini showed humbleness and was extremely funny and friendly...Actually i dont like MP that much not because of him but of his mindless fanboys...They just make me sick...Mangini rules

[FurlanPaolo]

@RowenaSpiteFoul I hate Mangini in Dream Theater context... he's technically great (more that MP) and funny too, but it can't be Dream Theater's drummer, enough said... Dream Theater need Mike Portnoy, and Mike Portnoy needs Dream Theater. Like an algebraic equation

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

@FurlanPaolo Overrated drummers fan??? Yeah thats what I thought...Just jealous spitting primadonna fanboy cause a better drummer who came in..............Hell crush Portnoy anyday anytime....Portnoy WAS great..Now hes playing his sellout rock stuff and wasting Rusell Allens talent.....Mangini owns him anyday even if you dont like it

[karmisson]

mega Mangini drum set!! HUGE!!!!

[sp3ci4lkpo]

With all due respect to Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini is a phenomenal player.

[McDiddy9999]

Portnoy disliked this video.

[TheGoriito]

great videooo men!!!!!!

Mangini is GOD!!!

fucking amazing

[InuJF]

Holy crap Mangini's drum kit is intense

[cristtrav]

a dislike? I think that was portnoy after watching the video... xD

[nicoatha]

@cristtrav Don't disrespect the great Portnoy

[hereg2007]

2:50 LaBrie's anger

[teamgod]

@hereg2007

lmao nice catch. it would have been hilarious if he had unplugged all the monitors and subsequently ended the song prematurely.

[rguitar87]

@hereg2007 LMAO!!! "Who the fuck put this mic snake up here?"

[Yrpffx21234]

Mangini's set-up is INSANE.

[broknstrngz]

Of course he had to have a bigger kit! :-)

[501stSpitfire]

inb4 shitstorm

[wolven1213]

haha 1:35 James Labrie misses the camel, so he becomes the whale.

[faisal5150]

nice... can't wait for the album

[baizbaiz1]

Sounds it´s awful

[miggyram7890]

Even though the audio quality isn't the best, you sir, have uploaded the first ever live performance of On the Backs of Angels to YouTube. I applaud thee. :D

[Xallia621]

If you care to change the lyrics, you have "The dead are wrong to nowhere." If I'm not mistaken, it's "The dead end road to nowhere," but maybe that's just what I'm hearing. Thanks for posting the video! Nice to hear it live :)

[rudicci]

@mrmarinheiro so, who is going to cover MP's parts? i hope John Myung :P or they are going to avoid all the songs in which his vocal is really necesary? (hahaha the last one it so extremist :P)

[dbvideoinc]

@rudicci that could very well happen though. They didn't play any MP songs at that show.

[rudicci]

@dbvideoinc yea, but i think is more because a respect(or pride :P) issue. The real point is that MP sang on most of the songs, either wrote by him or not.. and in some of the track (panick attack-nightmare to remember-the count of tuscany....and the list goes on) he had a important part.. so, they either, going back to the I&W/WDaDU days with almost 0 backings.. and even with those songs, they need a 2 vocal, JP can't do it...or they use some old record of MP voices, which i doubt....so JM go!!

[dbvideoinc]

@rudicci I meant specifically lyrics not music. Since MP probably contributed to every song musically. I think it is the same thing as with Kevin Moore when he left. But I hope not because obviously MP contributed so much more to DT lyrically.

[rudicci]

@dbvideoinc yes, i know :) if you see, all the song that i mentioned were written(lyrically) by JP, but Portnoy (like panic attack or TCoT) sang almost in the entire song... so.... they really have a problem there

[dbvideoinc]

@rudicci Oh I see. Yea there is a problem there.

[MetalFromHeaven94]

This video will probably have over 100,000 views in a week or so.

[YtseJam16]

LOL "Inadeguate System"

[zpede100]

i just noticed that this video has 302 views :D

[rudicci]

hey, did mike sang on backing?

[hereg2007]

no back vocals for Mike...I watched him all the time...only petrucci, but the mic was low...very low...in facts the songs with backvocals where strange without it

[d0r1705]

@rudicci There was an interview with Mike Mangini a while back. He was asked if he would be doing the backup vocals that Portnoy would do, he said no.

[rudicci]

Hey :) how's the feeling of being the first one to upload a video of this song? :)

[hereg2007]

:D...I'm a big fan of DT...I was also the first who upload the Forsaken video...my channel was close a week later.I don't know why...copyright I guess...hope to see this video far from here

[iateeverybody]

Not the best sound. But still, thank you so much for this!
