[Petterhalla]

Hey! Please check out my cover of "in the presence of enemies part 1" :) I've also covered the shattered fortress. as I am solo and the count of tuscany :)

[anteaterable]

fuckin amazing!

[Ollievarium]

How fuckin' awesome are theaterXD!?

[kevin73688174]

lmao. "YEAH!" 2:03 XD

[aznguitar]

LOL classic ain't it... haha

[Thedude112123]

I'm gonna let this holiday of judgement pass and soon I'm gonna kick your ass for what you did to me

[andrewman12]

Every time I go to see DT the guards will kick your ass back to your seat, so you have to pay big bucks for the front...as much as $250 per seat in USA. I can't believe they didn't stop this guy from taking video. I was at this concert because I am from Dallas, TX. This concert was spot on amazing. My favorite DT experience to date. My buddy managed to worm his way to the front on the presence of enemies PT. 2. Great crowd that night.

[EL34]

$250? dang bro you got ripped. I've seen them 3 times on the floor making my way to the front and taking pictures.

[EL34]

err ffrom $45-50

[aznguitar]

yeah man... the guard looked at me at first with my camera and pointed at me.... i assumed it was my camera but then he just told me that please don't touch the stage... haha!!! true story!!

[vcMalice]

these seats are so sick. i need to get to a DT concert before i die

[lebron56]

OMG you have a great fucking view you lucky son of a bitch

[aznguitar]

what's even more lucky was the fact that i paid $50 for a floor seat and chose Will Call to pick up my ticket... the day i came to see the show the ticket lady gave me my ticket and it had front row on it.... i was like wtf?!??!?!?!?!!

[UnderTheTunk]

This song is so epic. I love it!

[propilot1012]

i really wanted to go to this concert but i missed it. couldn't find tickets. i want to go next time there in Chicago. This is an awesome band!

[anash258]

did u guys notice that somthing wrong der?? i mean MP just make a few mistake, i heard it on other video.. but same live.. different camera man.. anyway they really caught up really fast eyh? there the best! Dream Theater!!

[DreamTheaterFan1128]

Dudee...even ju jitsu stands no chance against nuclear war which petrucci can start at the push of a button

[FloridaLawDawg]

+1....Petrucci can kill millions just by shredding at 4774962467963x2 notes per second.

[andrewv42]

No no, you have the equation messed up

John Petrucci can go in to world domination mode, in which his arms begin to shred at 666*999^217/47 notes per second, but in order to do this, he must absorb energy (via his hands) through very special coffee.

He can also control the heat of the sun by turning the largest knob on his guitar amp.

[battleblades]

No, no you have it messed up too.

He doesn't absorb energy from coffee. He gets it through special chemicals that taste good through his hands.

And he has a machine that controls the heat of the sun, but he hasn't had to use it yet. He doesn't see the point.

[Whitemanftl]

Great song, great concert.. I love DT...

[kissmeehimirish]

omg! i was at this concert! it was amazing

[rodricav]

I wish I were you this day!

[DreamTheaterFan1128]

imagine herman li vs petrucci in a fight or a guitar battle xD petrucci will kill him either way

[DruidSkara]

in a guitar battle it would be interesting, petrucci's been playing tons longer so yeah I think he would win.

if you mean like hand to hand combat then shit JP stands no chance. Brazilian Ju-Jitsu beats big hairy man.

[lightfingerchs666]

NA TILL BE A DRAW

[amjan]

OMG Petrucci is a fucking bear! He's huge!

[f16mlu]

you are a fucking bear..petrucci is only the best guitarrist of the world

[amjan]

I'm not a bear, I'm skinny!!

I also thinkg the JP is one of the best. But he's a big mofo regardless.

A fucking grizzly bear!!

[faizn]

rofl at f16mlu..

lolz

[thedrumbum1990]

dream theater=prog gods

[Zackathor]

Dream Theater = GODS! period :)

[ViperK88]

Ah man that show kicked ass..gave me chills when they played that song. I hope they come back to Nokia soon

[AntonioColangelo]

1:35 sounds a wee bit like flight of the bumblebee if you can hear it

[missymoosical]

They hi-fived you? REALLY? Sweet!

[giantflyingbooger]

I was also at this show. Major props for bringing this up since I didn't have any good cameras on me that night.

[00timon00]

petrucci=undertaker LOL

[Khaibar06]

I almost went to that concert! but then I had to play a last minute gig and I was so depressed.

[xthepatient]

pass up dream theater? i would have told the band i was having a case of the shits and couldn't play.

[Khaibar06]

And the gig was actually in Texas of all places. ...

[xthepatient]

well i wouldn't give up dream theater for anything.

if i had a chance to see dream theater, or have crazy unprotected sex with wild women, i would pick dream theater.

(they even have utah dream theater day here)

governor huntsman here signed it a day haha.

gotta love him.

[blindscout]

Nooooooooo, ends just before the solo!!, Good Video though, thanks man.

P.S. Did they really high five you? xD

[TheInsaneRocker]

Jeez, that was a freakin' amazing show. Been looking for some videos from it for a while now. They fuckin' destroyed Nokia. Looking forward to going back.

[JTikal]

The song's amazingly epic, until the vocals come in. HE MAKES ME WANT TO PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE! If I wanted to hear someone preach about religion, I'll go to a church!

[AkilesJose]

Dude its about what they want to write about... and that pays good results as you see.

[NGCG]

JTikal, you're a complete dumbass. This song is not preaching about religion. It's a story with no preaching or personal biases, just like all of DT's epic story-driven songs.

[JTikal]

Still, just compare his talent to the rest of the band members. He's able to hit the pitches, but compared to the godly members of dream theater, he's really mediocre. He's like the 5th wheel on a car-unnecessary.

[Eddysson90]

I actually agree. When Labrie is at his worst he is really bad, but at his best he is incredable. Unfortunately he has a lot of bad days.

[JTikal]

Thank you for agreeing with me. I mean, I'm guessing that his bad singing days must be his really good tamborine playing days, otherwise, the band would have kicked him out a long time ago xD!

[666Sabbath666]

Very SMART YOU STOP JUSS B 4 THE BEST SOLO STARTS PRoPS FOR THAT :P

[coupe400]

Diese Band ist absolut das höchste punkt der Musik. Kein anderes

[icetrey87]

Ich stimme vollständig überein.

I agree. They're the best.

[granos8]

dude, congrats on the high fives and its nice to know fans of this awesome band

[rhxt1002]

to all the people who are not blown away by this band i have one qustion for you:

How F*cked up are you?

[FredGlass]

OH WOW! o_____o THEY'RE SO GREAT!

[MikeZzZZmpdt]

nice performance..

unfortunately just for the sound..

nice videos...^^

regards

MikEZzZZ...!!!!

[metal134]

I don't get how there can be a single person on the face of the planet that is not blown away by this band. John Petrucci and Mike Portnoy are friggin' gods.

[Teuras666]

Well, It's anti-pop music.. Go figure

[tru2kungfu]

Actual music is inherently "anti-pop" because pop is anti-music. So go figure that.

[shoro12]

lol so true kungfu

[kungfuman82]

YES!

[aznguitar]

true that, anyone that isn't blown away by this band has something wrong with their ears lol... or too narrow minded in music haha.. i mean cmon, petrucci been invited back to G3 b the best some the best musicians vai/satch along with EJ and how many times have yngwie been invited back? proves that petrucci is a true musican and not just some "shredder" lol...

[franchise5673]

So Is Ruddess and Myung

[icetrey87]

Lol, WHAT ABOUT JORDAN RUDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 JOHN MYUNG!!!!!1111111 James LABRIE!!!!11111

[metal134]

I agree that Myung and Ruddess are amazing, it's just that Petrucci and Portnoy are two of my idols.

[gracor55]

WOW EXCELLENT I LOVE , BUT WE HAVE OUR DREAM TEATHER MEXICAN, IF YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC i amm sure you wil like GEOXTIGMA band.

[roadcheesecalls]

I was in this show and on the other side of the stage a photographer got his pro camera stolen and then USED it!!! Security came and dragged him out of the place. You do the crime, you do the time. It was a monster camera too, huge white telephoto lens and everything. He was the dad, and his two kids were with him. Sad.

I met JP and JR in those clothes later that night at After Show party. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mflagg19]

NICE! I'M SEEING THEM 5th ROW TODAY AND MEETING MIKE PORTNOY BEFORE THE SHOW!~!!!! W000000t

[aznguitar]

how much did u pay vip meet and greet?

[mflagg19]

oh, i payed 150 dollars for the Dream Theater gold tickets, but I'm meeting portnoy at a Daddy's Junky music store prior to the show, he's doing a meet and greet...i'm gonna request he play this song when i see him haha

[DarkHarmony]

Dude I was at Berklee for a guitar camp when Mike was at Daddy's...I couldn't make it because the line was wrapping around the whole block. I heard it was good times.

[Knightmetal]

Oh shit, i was fucking waiting for the the past of the song when John and Jordan play the harmonized section and it ended right before.

[aznguitar]

ah so sorry man, i wished i recorded it too but my digicam was running low on memory card so i had to watch what i was recording cause i wanted some other songs too lol.. sorry again man

[hodispat]

Jordan has new stand??

[mwb78]

This is a great vid. Thanks for posting it!

[dreamtheater87]

They play the whole song, parts 1 and 2 back to back.

[roadcheesecalls]

They indeed played Part 1 and then Part 2 in that order. They never missed a beat, and they shortened the gap between the two songs which was good.. on the album they stretched part 1 out to 9 minutes to symbolize 9 studio albums.

[rimulero]

yeaaahh \m/

[amuslimextremist]

Amazing! 3 days! AHHH!!!! I can't wait!

[Thanatopsis]

Good to see there playing this song live, did they play the whole thing or just part 1?

[shplog2]

Wish I could've made it...had to work.

[obsequiousartist]

nice video i was pretty far back but still there

[lx666]

guna being seeing this epicness in 20 days =)

[lafree]

I'm getting more and more exciting ...Can't wait 'til october

[viva0]

9th october for me, rotterdam, ahoy :)

[sonormatt]

Haha, JM just drowns it out. Awesome. \m/

[Die466]

Groso, esto es groso
