I love this song. I was so disappointed when I went to see them live, and they played the first two parts of a Mind Beside Itself, but not The Silent Man... instead they went into Prophets of War.
Petrucci's guitar has acoustic piezo pickups in it, so it can sound like an acoustic, or he can use the regular pickups for the normal electric guitar sound.
In a somewhat recent interview he said he didn't feel like himself vocally till something like 2004, something like that. Just look up some JLB interviews.
i like this version very much, i knew about them playing it as a full band in this one but it was far different from what i expected. Petrucci's vocals here for once, shine and can be heard. Absolute gods
me gusta mucho este tipo de canciones porque te puedes dar un descanso de todo el metal pesado no es que no me guste pero de ves en cuando una cancion trnquila es buena=P aaa y viva mexcico
I really like The Silent Man, but I think some of the song gets "worse" with Portnoys drumparts... I prefer to hear this one whole acoustic... butt well it's good anyway^^
I always loved the fact that their live versions of their songs always seem to sound even better than their studio versions.

@WhiteDeath Nah, it's not a mistake, it's a sound effect that appears also on the CD. Myung isn't playing that note.
