Dream Theater - The Glass Prison pt. 2

[calastiur]

Woah, LaBrie sounds even more vicious here than he did on the studio version. Love those screams he's pulling off here.

[entredudasyancias]

2.13 jp gets out a demon inside him xD

[npnaia]

They certainly are. The raspy voice is portnoy's, john's is full on distortion

[npnaia]

is it just me, or is john pettruci doing death growls?

xD awesome

[TheOrangeFondler]

@npnaia nope, not death growls.

[analfrost]

3:35 i want to see the bass player, not the back of portnoy's head =(

[richjam1986]

Awesome, awesome awesome performance by Labrie!!! There's so many people bashing on him lately. He was slightly flat in a couple spots, but give him a break! He is an AMAZING singer!! Give people a little leway for ups and downs in their carreer, too. You can't go 100%, 100% of the time....Off my soapbox now...

[superhomsar2112]

Some people say LaBrie's voice was irritating on this tour, but I LOVE it here, especially at the screamig passage. It's so full of rage and fury! I'd love to her him use more of that growl.

BELIEVE!!!!!!

[thericecrispy2]

Hey cameramen, you know that sound, the awesome wailing one around 4:09 or so? It's coming from somewhere called the keyboards. Maybe you could show it sometime.

[Nevadatyler13]

2:33 EPIC scream.

[dddddddddie]

woah woah woah... Jordan Ruddess had hair?

[angmar11]

Go Tambrine man go!

[Zackattack9985]

Wait, this song is from Six Degrees, which was a Rudess album. Who the hell is the keyboardist? Jordan Rudess with hair?!

[ginjeeimano]

@Zackattack9985 yes...jordan had long hair...then he cut it...and then he shaved it

[runtodemhills]

2:33

"BELIEVE!!!"

Fucking ragin', man.

[kevintje82onboard]

This is the time when James was fighting his vocal troubles and his own sanity.

I saw them 2 months before this, he was missing note after note, poor guy.

You could see the sadness and anger in his eyes.

I remember him saying: "its not going well, but if someone can do it better, then come here and sream your lungs out 3 hours for me please"

Also here he tries and tries and tries

Respect to mister Labrie 4 ever

[VanishingDigital]

@kevintje82onboard

i thought he did a great job here.

[kevintje82onboard]

@VanishingDigital Yeah, cuz its the opening song!! dont get me wrong, pls, i'm not bashing him BIG FAN I AM. On the concert i was and also on example Bucharest 2002 you can clearly hear he's troubled as the show goes on. As said before, i respect the man riding it out despite the ongoing bashing from so called DT fans. We must be glad he still sings today (thank god), but fact is he had his troubles over the years. Greetings

[VanishingDigital]

@kevintje82onboard

lol, idk what your saying. i guess, i agree

[Madad134]

2:19 F#!

[davidarkzero]

petrucci min 2:36!!!!!

really awesome scream!!!

[vbdude006]

Gotta love that riffage >:D

[Andurst]

HEY! HEY! HEY!! HEY!! HEY!! HEEEEeeeeeeeEEEYY!!!!!!!@@@

Man!! LaBrie is just fuckin insane!!!

[AlvaroObregonSP]

Great!!!!!!

[bladefox24]

this singer is really a pain in the ass... the band is one of the awsomest i have ever see but god damn... the singer. sound like my grand ma. srsly

[marsnall]

this should be the best song ever created by any human being in the history of the universe

[ironwolg]

i want a petrucci guitar so bad :( lol i wish i could afford it

[24Rhett42]

is he on cocaine?

[MERTx123]

Epic lack of Rudess shots on this amazing performance... Great job, camerafail

[martinman300]

BELIEVE!!!

[Satch6strings]

wow fuck!

james was really crazy here!

this a perfect song

the intro gives me chills

and the whole song is so powerful and epic

best band ever

[Ralhill]

hah, awesome labrie- on the DESPERATE! TEACH ME HOW!

[iFercr]

LOL 6:09 Rudess looks like Chad Kroeger! XD

[Petchx]

BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!! The outro is the most powerful, exiting and jaw dropping outro I've seen live!!

[edthehead83]

goddamnit, i want footage of john myung at 3:38!

[b0b1919]

lol, not gonna happen as long as portnoy is in charge of editing

[edthehead83]

@b0b1919 I know, but i think it's out of courtesy, not selfishness. john myung is camera shy and probably a little self conscious about being on film.

[LHondrums]

labrie sings good here.

[Thystonius]

Absolutely perfect indeed :-)

[iluvsystemofadown]

DAAAM 2:33 sounds so aggresive!

[VFoVendetta]

4:27 Tambourine solo.

[Rimes87]

yeah, he's playing like billion notes per millisecond on that thing xD

[TheWheelchairAxis]

2:25 labrie goes a little nuts

[wickyzerMan3]

John Myung is an absolute machine on bass. Its just really funny how he almost never moves around during any concert, yet he just does insane shit all the time lol.

[angmar11]

@wickyzerMan3 if john myung moves the earth cracks from the massive bass sound

[vanzep91]

Lol Petrucci goes "roar" at 3:06

[DefiantDeath666]

That was Mike not John

[RainbowRaider7]

Man, LaBrie sounds so good here. Best I've seen by him live. GO DT!

[THEBOOMR]

yeah, I love this performance cause he really puts balls into the middle section, more growly than he normally is :D

[volbia12]

it's kind of funny that john myung is playing the same part just as fast as petrucci during his solo XD, bass god ftw.

[THEBOOMR]

which solo are you talking about?

[Rimes87]

I think he is referring to any of the unisons... you name them! MYUNG IS YOUR EMPEROR! LOL xD

[THEBOOMR]

Yeah I know the unisons are amazing but he definitely doesn't play the same thing during petruccis actual solos.

[Rimes87]

that is correct, but some people do not understand the difference between a unison and a solo xD

[THEBOOMR]

true. I guess I was just trying to point that fact out that he doesn't in fact play actual solos in unison. Cause I'm a lLittle OCD ^_^

[floukk]

2:37 petrucci looks so evil lol \m/

[Jonasson666]

Fail Riptidescool... xD

[THEBOOMR]

Ending of this song and ending of This Dying Soul=the greatest song endings EVER

[likedie234]

I agree, its fucking painful to hear how Labrie almost cry when he sings that part in the record...this song bring tears to my eyes cause it reminds me of my father

[panneiros]

rudess's hair cracks me up in this video. awesome performance

[GreenishGoblin]

2.25 Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyey!

[THEBOOMR]

hahahaha it was freakin awesome!! :D

This performance of Glass Prison is way better overall than the Gigantour one, imho. LaBrie doesn't sound quite so strained on the high pitches and Petrucci's guitar sounds better

[ma7euszzz]

Portnoy is incredible!!!!

[Riptidescool]

I didn't know there was a second Glass Prison. What album is it from ? Tell me, I'll pick it up today. I love this music.

[DigitalErection37]

It's just that the song has to be broken up on Youtube because of its length.

[Riptidescool]

Cool !!! Hey, I was at the mall todayu looking for Pattrucciis album. Did you know He and Rudess did a Jazz album together. These guys are so freakn talented. Metal , progressive and Jazz. This band is one and a million.

[Thystonius]

You mean 'An evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess'? That album is golden :)

[Pinotep]

actually this band is not "one in a million"...this band is "ONE AND ONLY"!!!!...Ciao!!

[Tom6093]

Just to let you know, This is still Riptidescool !!!! My computer died and I had to for some reason put in a new name. trust me !!!! I wouldn't lie. Dream Theater is definetly one of the best bands of today !!!!

[Carlos7492]

2:14 and 2:37  Petrucci: ``I am your fucking god´´ lol

[tomacoexperiment]

Why petrucci goes grindcore with the backing vocals?

[SoulCalligraphyMusic]

That was amazing! One the first part is the ONLY time I've ever heard Petrucci mess up on anything. Oh well. He's still one of the greats. Can't wait to see these guys again on Prog Nation 09!

[riffojm]

ke wnes mas fomes, los del publico claro... se supone que gritaran ¬¬ pero no

[SkynyrdGTR159]

when rudess is soloing it doesnt show him once...

[kommisar]

Yeah, they did the same with John in the beginning. The camera work left something to be desired.

Also, speaking of Jordan, how come he never faces the audience directly? He's always shown sideways.

[SkynyrdGTR159]

i see what youre saying, alot of the time keyboardists are in that position, like the outside corner facing inward toward the band. i dont really know why though. i guess it just looks kinda cool? i dont know

[kommisar]

Well, actually Jordan is more in the position a classical pianist takes. He's not so much facing towards the center of the stage as he is facing completely sideways. I'm wondering why he does this, especially considering how, unlike 99% of the keyboardists out there, his rig is rotatable. My only guess is by facing completely sideways, the audience can see a little of his fingers playing.

[SkynyrdGTR159]

well every once in a while when he has a solo he'll turn around so the audience could see his fingers flying on the keys, and his back faces them. i think youre right though, because if his body faced the audience directly, they wouldnt be able to see his fingers and therefore his playing.

[cubuletzul]

It's not for looking cool, he has a lot of pedals at his feet, and his position is in accordance with which one he needs to use at a certain moment. That's why he turns around from time to time, it's not posing.

[cubuletzul]

This is the first song in this concert and it was a live broadcast. It's not as easy as when you edit the images after, the director has to improvise during the concert and sometimes doesn't catch the best images. If you watch the whole DVD, you will see that things change after this song, the cameramans will catch Jordan or John when necessary.

[kommisar]

Well, they did a much better job with their other live DVD's so I don't see where the excuse is here. They should have had more cameras.

What DVD is this anyway?

[cubuletzul]

Live in Bucharest 2002. You can find it on torrents.

[kommisar]

Thanks. Is there a bootleg DVD version of it out?

[cubuletzul]

Yes, it's an official bootleg.

[YtseJammer69]

The energy is apparent in this life performance. I also really enjoyed the fact that it is outside; gives the sing a whole new sound and atmosphere.

[Sigurdgsa]

James is sick with the tambourine!

[mrmike92]

how you can say james is sick? is very goood on this..

[Sergiof444]

hhohohohoh

one of the heaviest songs of dream theater

[MesaMXR]

wrong. it IS the heaviest.

[Gearllermo]

naah the heaviest song by DT is The Mirror or Honor Thy Father, Glass Prison is one of the heaviest songs but not the heaviest

[Daizenkiretsuhan]

Or The Dark Eternal Night

[capitatus]

Or panic attack

[Sydanyo]

Right. THe intro for The Mirror just about does it for me.

[sve6]

that was sick

[Solfageman]

james's voice is sick on this record

[petterblo]

James was great in this one.

[DaPuNK1850]

i beat NADS on it... it was hella hard though at the fast part...

[viva0]

guitar hero is for nooblets, buy a real guitar

[DaPuNK1850]

I'm not interested in learning guitar, I'm more into drums... Guitar hero is for me :)

[Hayameru]

You'd need atleast 12 buttons for DT on guitar hero. haha

[bitesizesock]

@viva0 I play both. :3

[MikeMikeNana]

@viva0 guitar hero got me into playing a real guitar. Its a gateway man, don't hate on it

[Zeus1700]

Where's Jordan? :S

[viva0]

in the left maybe?

[dadhouse]

they need dream theater on guitar hero

[KMatteKudasaiC]

This is the 2nd best version of this out there..the best is 2002..james scream were smack on that night..very intense.
