Dream Theater - The Glass Prison Live [Gigantour] Pt. 1

[stefano666acdc]

NEVERMORE

[steliospitsillides]

Labrie go the fuck away ffs!

[dingbat1410]

Damn petrucci's arpeggios are so killer I can't even play air guitar to them

[MrGurramurra]

James looks like the devil when he comes out and have that right light in his face! xD

[WeHaveExplosive]

Don't really like DT but this song is amazing.

[heroicfame]

probably the only song that makes me cry and jizz at the same time

[boxmouth1]

If Rudess had glasses he could be a stunt man in Breaking Bad

[JoeyThe14th]

jordan rudess without beard is like a guitar without strings or a drum kit without skins

[JoeyThe14th]

john petrucci doesnt do much rocking out, like headbanging or whatever

[EternalStarfall]

@JoeyThe14th that's because he doesn't have long hair sadly....

[82mangini]

John Petrucci is God! He can play everything he wants! No doubt

[leenamustaine]

My favorite John Petrucci`s hairstyle is from Scenes from New York; he looks so handsome there....

[extremelibrary1]

i dident go to eather of the tours but i got the cds from online and i say dream theater is awesome as well as the other bands including MEGADETH GREAT BASS PERFORMANCE

[extremelibrary1]

i dident go to eather of the tours but i got the cds from amazon and i say dream theater is awesome as well as the other bands including MEGADETH

[hond4sh]

that beat at 2:50 is pretty fucking cool

[Niamorg1007]

Petrucci's picking technique is unbelievable during that solo. Not only he's alternate picking notes that are normally played with sweep picking, but I think he's even playing each note twice...

[trumpetdude08]

1:51 Petrucci begins World Domination Mode

[sheikyerbouti1984]

The best LaBrie beardstyle.

[KrummyBear]

To all other guitarists who played on the Gigantour bill...I'm sorry...but you suck compared to this guy... even dave mustain doesn't have shit on john pats technique.

[ibanezxiphos700]

@KrummyBear

dave mustain doesnt have shit on a lot of guitarists technique... i like megadeth but dave isnt that great

[streather]

I think John Myung is criminally under appreciated, check out how fast and hard his bass stuff is and he plays it flawlessly and makes it look easy.

Guys a fucking beast of a bassist

[qtipbluedog]

@streather definitely. I freaking love John Myung.... He is a beast...

[Rouliane1]

@streather

In many bands bassist is underrated because it's not the first instrument that you can hear.

Myung is just awesome, basse lines are so difficult. If you check the bass solo of "The dance of eternity" , it's just incredible....

[JoeyThe14th]

@streather imo, the best bass player in the world

[Vl4dich]

@streather I don't think John Myung is underrated... after all he was voted the greatest bassist of all time according to MusicRadar. Bass players in general are underrated!

[theslapdealers]

00:35 Portnoy Is Irremplacable 

[HolyNameSnipers]

I love it at this tempo <3



[XanaduMyHome]

I cant believe how much it focuses on myung, nor can i believe myung's energy

[XanaduMyHome]

It sounds awesome until it get thrashy and petrucci starts shredding, then it sounds crappy cause of the quality, and I really want to hear this live, sounding as awesome as it should,

[cjoatanps1]

is fast

[creblestar]

Yeahhhh!!! I was i THAT crowd! X-D Awesome show!

[danielnahuelpi]

About the JP hairstyle:

At that time, Petrucci knew that he his not human because he came from a planet called Vegeta and at the Gigantour became a Supersaiyan.

[OixordNL]

the man is crazy. CRAZY.

[wololoer]

the alternate picking part simply makes me lose hope to play the guitar hahaha

[Jazzfisio]

WTF! Studio or live, always perfect techniques and amazing sound!

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

Is the Zohan drumming?

[frosta]

back when petrucci didnt have arms the size of watermelons

[VladKV2]

Dude... this is not world domination mode anymore, this is Universe domination mode.

[devouringone3]

I'll try myself uploading "part 2" of this video... I'll split the part again into two parts to avoid getting spotted to end up like this user's second part.

[mcski022]

WTF?!!!WHO THE HELL CLICKD THE DISLIKE BUTTON!!!?!!!

[devouringone3]

Those early arpeggios from Petrucci sounds weird... compared to the thing on SDOIT1.

[amithabajan2]

Jizz at 0:55! And pretty much the rest of the song!

[jckbac9]

1:51

In case anyone else is repeatedly playing Petrucci's arpeggios, that's a quick link to the start. I can't seem to play this too many times; it's simply flawless.

[danthebackerman1]

Is it just me or did Petrucci rip through those arppegios, legendary!!

[cipicipitio]

PERFECT Audience!

[SamuelWelshans]

Petrucci looks like Tony Stark from Iron Man with a jewfro in this. Those arpeggios could make Iron Man explode anyway.

[heroicfame]

I just cum

[NeroxAlex]

John meets very sexy with this hair xD.

[MrSnazman]

I am an experienced shredder, and i believe that the intro solo to this song is one of the most difficult guitar solos in human history to play...No not play...ATTEMPT!

[espibanez1]

@MyMytalMajesty actually the left hand isn't doing much at all. it just looks cool because his fingers move far away from the fretboard.

[EvilHippy38]

Such elite musicians.

[themask786]

he played so fast warming up before the show his hair became like this.

[PieceOfMind56]

Whats with Petrucci's bed head?

[precisionbass100]

When this video was uploading i was between death or life. My heart make stop. Today,thanks to God,I can see it. LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!

[aligatorsandwitch72]

WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Petrucci alt picks those arpeggios?... There goes all my hopes and dreams of playing it.. D":

[Sinkaichi]

@1:30 : Diieeeee

[ryuzinuase]

xD!!!@Sinkaichi 

[Nforeo1974]

John Petrucci at Super Saiyan Level 2.....

[theunitedspeed]

i swear this is faster than the original recording....

HOW CAN THEY PLAY THAT FAST!!!

[nakkiuros]

@theunitedspeed unfortunately tempo grows too much

[theunitedspeed]

@nakkiuros yh they were probs gettin too excited :P

[Djasper321]

Where can I get the second clip and the rest of the concert?

[Firedblood]

Petrucci's hairstyle was awesome.

[stevedadaian]

holy fuck, what a face melting performance.

[darkmist255]

It's amazing the amount of sheer talent and musical genius these guys have!

I never would've imagined that the bass played the intro to this song! In my opinion, these guys are all some of the greatest musicians in the world, they're all fantastic!

[darklord8603]

damn MP why did you leave????

[MrMoterhed]

realdummer=unemployed janitor=58 year old wannabe drummer=SPAM

[jckbac9]

@realdrummer110 you heartless fuck.

learn to appreciate real talent when you see it. go suck justin bieber's dick, troll

[jckbac9]

@realdrummer110 you are such a troll. get a life. im done with this bs convo

[realdrummer110]

@jckbac9 You started it..I'll finish it. cool?

[Jzzful]

GREAT!

[bitesizesock]

Too technical, not enough passion. Regardless, impressive.

[Fartacus46]

petrucci's gone super sajin

[KrummyBear]

He who snarls is an epic badass 1:30

[frosta]

rudess never gets enough camera time

[vbdude006]

I get mindraped each time by watching 1:52

AND the best part of the song is gone!!! UPLOAD IT, or face the wrath of the Myung Tackle! PWOAR >:D

[Zombiekeks]

I hate youtube so much for banning the second part.

[lewisireland]

This is real fast. Real good, but the feel in the intro before the break down to the main riff was lost because of the tempo.

[slaughterman55]

dude you have fucking four of the best musicians out there on that stage petrucci is probably the best metal/rock guitarist out there right now by far and the frummer is probably the same, the bassist is top knotch too, you gotta think at it as you have about four all-stars in that bad compard to bands with like 1 great musican and 4 dumbasses, the 4 allstars will always win! that is why dream theater is unbeatable people!!!!!

[AKtifosi]

i need the par 2! RIGTH NOW!

[pelusaesfeo]

mr. portnoy stop singing please! thanks. let james sing alone!

[MulletMan3108]

@pelusaesfeo seriously? do you not like the 'cunning baffling powerful' parts? I thought it was epic - adds real atmosphere

[TwilightHunter4P]

dude try to put in the second part!

[LPmarkac]

FUCK! And there goes best part of the song.

[SilenceXCore]

What the shit fuck is this : Alternate picking THAT fast on this appergios?

[vbdude006]

@SilenceXCore He alt picks the arps in the studio version too lol

[SilenceXCore]

@vbdude006 \o/ god's name is Pettruci

[fredmachine]

@SilenceXCore He really found the most uncomfortable and uneconomic way to play this :D But ok, he always said that his alt picking was way better than his sweep picking. But I don't really get why he's alt picking this. I don't think it sounds that much better, especially live, where it always sounds kinda sloppy.

Don't get me wrong, Petrucci is the shit, I just don't get it :D

[XxKhSephirotxX]

This band shits on A7X all the way around

[dussan007]

do you have honor thy father from this concert?

[nyuu818]

jkl

[JRBain7]

Love this performance. Should buy the DVD. Such amazing performance from everyone, and both JP and Jordan sound amazing. I really like the voicings Jordan uses here. More so than on the original recording. I also love the precision with which he executes the arpeggios. And the look of total ease on his face as he does so, haha...

[culillo1882]

John changes the way to performe the first arpeggios (min 1:50). I think he use sweeps in the recording, but here makes some strange speed picking; for me dont sound as fluid and natural as on recording. And there is another video where he sounds horrible

[nekezajebancije]

@culillo1882

Nobody said anybody was perfect, and it's obviously not easy playing Dream Theater. :)

It is the way it is... I guess fans don't care that much. :)

[vbdude006]

@culillo1882 No he uses alt picking in the studio recording, its just that this is live and as we all know, its harder to perform live than in studio :)

[ArcaneLifeforce666]

i wish i had petrucci's hands, i can barley fit mine around my rg-1527's neck

[alucard0712]

I think they come in wrong place...people there don't really ready for MUSIC.

[MulletMan3108]

best part- 2:02 because it shows every single member going fucking crazy on their instrument! AWESOME!

[gabfreak]

oh my gawd! I saw them in live, but they didn't play this amazing song!! :(

BUT they played The Dance of Eternity >:3

[SoulflySox]

The best Petrucci hairstyle.

[BattleMagic]

@SoulflySox Nah, his long hair is clearly superior.

With short hair he looks like Gordon Freeman from Half-Life

[gnrcr]

@SoulflySox I totally support that

[Falkenauge27]

@SoulflySox

The best Myung hairstyle.

[tallicafan250169]

@SoulflySox Haha, as much as I love Punk-Rocker-Petrucci, I prefer Walrus-Petrucci xD

[MrWet207]

@SoulflySox The best Rudess Hairstyle lol

[dave21svm]

@SoulflySox and best pants ever :D



[CryingLostSoul]

@SoulflySox I never understood the trousers though

[xTheWorldNeedsAHerox]

@SoulflySox No, not even! Long hair > All.

[MaximumPayne12]

@SoulflySox My favorite JP hairstyle is from Score =)

[Fac117]

Would love a new DVD performing whole Twelve Step Suite

[ChrisGuitarbeast]

@Fac117 sadly is not going to happen

[IlReCremisi]

It REALLY scares me when his fingers shift from visible light to ultraviolet and a bunch other cosmic radiations, even the camera man can't stand looking and moves the camera to the other members....INSANE!!! :))

[unleashed616]

3:27 - 4:06 makes me crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[danielkong92]

definately one of their most finest songs.

[MERTx123]

Freakin Amazing!

[titsmcgee852]

If I had never listened to DT before, and I was at this show, I would literally shit myself when he started sweeping.

[GODamnGoodGuiTarist]

Portnoy looks like The Zohan! :D hahaha (Y)!

[FenderRS80]

I can't believe they did it faster than studio version, and yet Petrucci's arpeggios are so clean!! Incredible

[deth0795]

I just came from Petrucci's perfect execution.

[osmosis2259]

Labries face at 2:48 is priceless :)

great performance tho. This is one song that I still haven't seen live yet...

[dreamrochestra01]

AWESOME..!!!!!!!!

[MulletMan3108]

yea, the step includes the shattered fortress, glass prison, repentance (Systematic chaos), this dying soul (train of thought) and the root of all evil (octavarium). i think there is another one but i cant remember

[akrotirifry9]

No you got all of them right...

The Glass Prison has movments I to III

This Dying Soul has movements IV and V

Root OAE has VI and VII

Repentance has VIII and IX

the last 3 are in TSF

[leonardthecow]

It's because shattered fortress is a sort of compilation of all the songs in Mike Portnoy's 12 Step Suite

[Turbopotamo]

i don't how he can change to play those freaking fast arpeggios to the riff without even swaet, he is inhuman!

[sukonnewton1]

its sounds like shattered fortress

[seamonkey18]

some of these riffs are in Shattered Fortress.

[Xiphos68]

All of the songs 12 song suite connect together with some of the riffs in other songs as well.

The Shattered Fortress has them all.

[pauljacksonmusic]

None of the downloads work :(

[wherleybird]

God damn it.

[sobeto28]

@wherleybird Why dont you upload it in megaupload or something like that, or try to upload the second part again?

[daukito]

1:51 World Domination Mode: [ON] OFF

[Punkmetaller]

Good one! lol!

[6digit]

Labire looks better before than now!

[Petchx]

LOVE JP'S ARPS!!!! best player in the world!!!

[TMJECCO]

1:30

"DIE"

[real1acer]

Can you also put this video up on Megaupload? I'd like to put the parts together for myself and fix the aspect ratio since youtube basically fucked it up here.

[PolloXdeth]

I NEED THE 2º PART ... NOW!!!!!!!

[wherleybird]

Try the download link in the description... i just put it there.

[Firedblood]

Amazing show,Amazing tour,amazing crowd (MONTREAL!) and my favorite DT song recorded on a DVD...Amazing ;p

[kurvoljubac]

Petrucci never misfrets. Human technology just isn't developed enough to digest this amount of arpeggio information (if you listen closely you can see they are all perfect logarithm and fractal sequences). So, guys, Petrucci is never wrong or mistaken. Our ears are.

[theunitedspeed]

@kurvoljubac probs cos he makes them bleed so much :D

he is so awesome XD

[VietHetzer]

IMO this is the best sounding recording of Glass prison, i hope someone re-uploads the second part of this video.

[wherleybird]

i have the second part uploaded; however, its blocked. :[

[JackeShan]

Cant you put in the dispute process? There's a video on how to bypass the copyright thing.

[wherleybird]

I've tried to talking to youtube before. It's like talking to a wall. They've taken down my other Dream Theater videos too.

[ragnarok9899]

This might be a dumb question, but why do they block, part 2 of this video, and your other DT videos, but leave this one alone?

[ShredLife22]

@ Caioabbade.

The Arepggio part is alt picked in the studio version.

[0209056891]

hahahahahah crabcore at 3:31

[CaioAbbade]

Dont get me wrong, I love petrucci, but he def messed the intro arpeggio solo trying to alt pick, he just did that for epeen, it sounded crap honestly, the original studio version is recorded with sweepin, much more smooth and sounds better... we know he plays like a god, no need to do show it even more

[CaioAbbade]

more than that, even him cant play it correctly, just listen to it, he misses a lot of notes, and plays some repeatdly

[wherleybird]

this fuckin guy

[eleventler]

look at this guy telling JP how to play his own music...

[frosta]

lol seriously

[foshift]

the tempo on the album is slower as well, sweeping or not, the lower tempo sounds better

[GGTopGuitarist]

i completely agree dude, sounds better sweeped. He can play it correctly with sweeps. and i bet he can with alternate but maybe not in front of thousands when under pressure..

[b0b1919]

the arpeggios don't sound that bad (he missfrets the top notes a couple of times) but I saw him sweep them in another video and it sound like a blurred mess. Definately better alt picked

[liquifex]

Negative. The frets are not able to contain JP's pure liquid awesome. JP is never wrong....the frets are. Such a concept is just not easily comprehended by most mortals.

[Reaverofwind]

Labrie looks evil lol

[MERTx123]

I want to see LaBrie headbang

[Ectharias]

Those pants are amazing

[MyLoveTheLamp]

i kinda dig it in a way faster. but can then relate why hes sweeping instead of picking

[Kynitt]

holy crap.

i am speechless. probably one of the best performances of anything out there

[ivansekrok90]

This song is just awseme and extremely difficult even JP seems to be strugling just a little bit at the begining solo part. But all in all gret song, great performance amazing energy on stage.

I thing this were the golden days for DT regarding stage performance.

DT rules forever!!!

[zach312]

Gotta say, Petrucci never disappoints....but I'd like to know why he was using alternate picking instead of sweeping like he normally does for this song. I don't see how alternate picking would be easier.

[seamonkey18]

he doesn't normally sweep it. It's always alt picked. It's not about being easier, and it definitely isn't. It sounds better picked

[metalsg]

for the sake of sounding "stronger" maybe, but that third solo in the ending is the shit (the one with the damn hell fast and complex arpeggios)

[girlcanthelpit]

best metal song EVER written and performed. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING i love DREAM THEATER.

[pizdolizac123]

Petrucci=god

best pants I've ever saw

[DreamTheater1994]

Don´t they play it a little bit to fast? :P

[Seihou]

Petrucci pants

[CreadoraDeNarsil]

It's the key, man

[ironwolg]

ARPEGGIOS!!!!!!
