WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE SPECIALLY WHEN HE DOING THE HARD-FREAKIN SOLO KEYBOARD!!! WOW !!! THATS NOT THE SAME SOUNDS!!! PINK FLOYD IS MY FAVORITE BAND .THEY STILL IMMORTAL .AFTER GILMOUR AND WATERS, OTHERS PEOPLE WILL TAKE THE BAND!! I THINK IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ;(
@myrtic1 no way. Listen to one of the early 70's live versions of this song by Pink Floyd. This one is good, but doesn't come near to creating the atmosphere of the original.
@masii22 i know why...people just dont care for tribute bands...Back in the early 70"s you had bands just like these on every corner bar in Toronto trying to do Pink Floyd...After a while it was getting noticeable so i have asked musicians.. why pink floyd.. and theyd say its easy to play.
@DWcriticism Firstly i must apologize for my urge to dip my nose into things and try to explain them from my point of view. Essentially Pink Floyd is realtively easy to play, their arrangements are often quite simple and understandable even though i've met many people classifying them as "psycedelic rock" wich is a psycedelic genre. But there is a huge difference between abiliti to play it and making music out of it and that is were many people fail. Dream Theater manages though
@jalakere The perfect example of that, to me, is, of course, Gilmour.
He is no virtuosso, and what he plays is relatively easy to copy, but he is such a master in expression techniques that is damn difficult to mimic what he does.
What I love of DT, though, is as simple as this: They just sound great. Their music is, quite simply, very pleasant to the ears.
I mean,people say that they are robotic, soulless, etc.. Well, I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. I sure enjoy the hell out of DT's albums
@DWcriticism | DT is not a tribute band. they juste made a tribute for dark side of the moon after what.... twenty years of awesome creations and shows all arround the world.
@nocterbalbulus all on the contrary man. In DSOTM, which is a concept album about madness, this moment corresponds to the falling into madness, which is, in Waters' thought, real happiness and freedom, fulfillment. The image of diffraction of light through the prism is a metaphor of that, and the title confirms what its position tells, that we are on the very passage "on the dark side". So Rudess' trick is a very clever emphasis of that, of bursting into madness, and passing on the other side.
@cassino761 Very interesting words - of course DSOTM is not ONLY about madness...Anyway maybe Dream Theatre thought something like that as they played it...Who knows?
The most ridiculous and tendentious comment I've ever seen on youtube ... No one can make the sound of David Gilmour, or even copy it, better it's impossible... Ask John Petrucci, he will agree with me.
@renatobatistatj the point of a guitarist is not to copy another guitarist, but to have your own unique style. JUST ASK GILMOUR! :D. besides this comment was made 6 months ago. i actualy began to enjoy the webley live version from pink floyd. but, this is still my favorite version, because it just has a brighter sound and its really colorful and cheerful.
@THeBEEtleNAMEdGEORGe - You may not have understood what I meant ... or I have expressed myself badly. I did not say that John Petrucci was trying to copy David Gilmour, or their version is bad, but what I meant is: you can not do better than Pink Floyd. You can do a good version but not better. No one has the feeling that PF has. I say this as a fan of Pink Floyd, and I think John Petrucci is too, and, because of that -perhaps - he will agree with me...
@THeBEEtleNAMEdGEORGe - Maybe you agree with me that, in most cases, people judge the songs by the musician's technique, but technique does not always mean feeling, and this is the great advantage of Pink Floyd ... On the other hand, I often see a heavy metal band be applauded exclusively because they are extremely fast on guitar, bass, keyboard ... but apart from that, there's nothing left. I like heavy metal, but I prefer something meaningful. It is clear that this is only my opinion...
@renatobatistatj well, first of all i would like to point out the fact that the cover has no real element of heavy metal, and that you seem judge the band by the fact that they usually play heavy metal. people judge music based on technique? what have you been smoking? todays most popular songs are the easiest to play. but, anyway pink floyd is by far my favorite band, but cmon they arent divine or anything and 1 day i believe they might be overcomed.
@rickheyes0 no way man, thats the best part. in both this cover and the original version I absolutely LOVE the keys, they allow me to float through my perception of the world.
If you are bored (or just high), please check out my cover version of this song; I tried to give the video a psychedelic twist. I hope my alien friends in outer space will enjoy it.
my only criticisms are that the guitarist used too much distortion and played a little more "shredding" style than Gilmour would have done.. but other than that, i have no problem with this cover
now, i like what jordan and john did with this. i find the original a little slow and dated. if you do covers you should add a little of any colour you like. good jod dream squad
Prolly the best Floyd Song for 'places it takes you'...great band...great cover..though I can see why some think the entire point being the 'colors' has some what been lost here....Rudess has to be best exponent of the keyboard....ever...petrucci is great..am prolly one of the biggest FLoyd and DT fans out there...ppl shud realise that this is a cover..and not in anyway trying to mimic FLoyd...jus enjoy this song for wat its worth...which is absolute genius on DT's part...hail DT..Hail FLoyd
Amazing cover and I don't usually accept Pink Floyd covers. Since Richard Wright I didn't hear a good keyboardist playing so fine :) Congratulations Dream Theater and long live the Floyd
@gatolocoverga152 Early Genesis were great. Phil Collins became too pop for me, and Peter Gabriel turned into something different, not exactly my cup of tea.
@lawnelson Their early work was a bit too... new wave for my taste. But when SPORTS came out in '83, they really came into their own... commercially and artistically.
Sorry, your comment made me want to quote American Psycho.
they missed the point of this song entirely. how can i groove and zone out if they keep overplaying everything. it'd have been fine if they had divided the number of notes they played by four and introduced some of their own ideas.
@GaudyGabriev If you really think so im sure you would have like to have bar hopped in the early 70's in Toronto were every corner bar had a band like these guys doing the very same songs...All they are buddy is a tribute band and back in the 70's they came a dime a dozen
its like the soundrack of an astonaut who have losed his connection with the ship, ands travels without way into the cosmos playing an endless epic solo ..
Petrucci's cover is amazing and one of the finest guitar recordings i've listened to, but it's also the only song of his or Dream Theatre's that i can really stand except maybe the last minute of The Dark Eternal Night.
Gilmour is definitely one of the top two guitarists of all time and obviously pink floyd = amazeballs
its funny, you guys complai that petrucci sucks here, lemme see you play that, let alone do it live infront of thosands of people. plus its not like he can just change all of his settings right there on the spot to exact gilmour sound.
@youraisemyrent You got guts posting that among a bunch of rabid Dream Theater fans including myself... but you're absolutely right. Petrucci used to be extremely diverse, but now it seems like all he cares about is shredding.
I thought the standout best part of the original was that it just flowed. Nobody did anything especially flashy, they just followed this giant groove. The synth guy would just layer his stuff over the sound and to me that was the beautiful part. Playing fast or flashy overtakes the groove, which to me makes this cover pretty mediocre.
@resole83 good point... also note that the modern sound takes out a lot from this solo (from Gilmore`s style), however Petrucci payed his own tribut, i would say...
Why are people hating on this cover..? From the first time I heard this, I thought it was an incredible interpretation of the song. Petrucci and Rudess did an amazing job with their solos.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
too much fuzzy shit - Dreamtheatre should stick to 80s heavy metal and quit trying to rape the talents of other bands. YOU DID NOT CREATE THIS !! SO LEAVE IT ALONE FUCKERZZZ !!!!!!!
Lmao the original keyboard and guitar solos had wayyyy less notes than this, yet they sound 10x better and are perfect for the song. These guys are showboats....
I liked it how Dream Theater covered this song in their own style, but still managed to keep the spirit of pink floyd in tact. And I'm loving Jordan Rudess keyboard solo here. Easily among his best
Normally I'm not a fan of bands covering Floyd songs, but I actually think Dream Theatre did a great job of bringing thise song forward in a more modern version. I love how the bassist kept the original bass line, totally keeps that Floyd feeling to it!
what is funny to me is that not too many people of the audience would knew that they were playing pink floyd... hahaha It's weird but DT are fans of Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis... but not their own fans who dont use to like bands that are not "heavy" :P
if your after a very similar sound with a bit of programing and tweaking you can get a minimoog model D and to a lesser extent the voyager to sound pretty passable , the difference is the album version was done on a VCS3 EMS synth with a cricklewood controller which is a completely different synth with a very different filter thus giving it a more characteristic sound , if youve got a minimoog tho give it a go you shuld get a sound that will satisfy your need enough to play it.
YES.

Why are people hating on this cover..? From the first time I heard this, I thought it was an incredible interpretation of the song. Petrucci and Rudess did an amazing job with their solos.

too much fuzzy shit - Dreamtheatre should stick to 80s heavy metal and quit trying to rape the talents of other bands. YOU DID NOT CREATE THIS !! SO LEAVE IT ALONE FUCKERZZZ !!!!!!!

Lmao the original keyboard and guitar solos had wayyyy less notes than this, yet they sound 10x better and are perfect for the song. These guys are showboats....

This keyboardist is like Dave Mustaine on the fretboard. Its not about quality or sound, its about jamming as many notes as you can per second.

I liked it how Dream Theater covered this song in their own style, but still managed to keep the spirit of pink floyd in tact. And I'm loving Jordan Rudess keyboard solo here. Easily among his best

@happyface they're actually american which is too bad really, they hardly ever come to canada for shows.

@happyface4444 Their lead singer is Canadian, that's all. (And quite honestly, I was never much of a LaBrie fan.)

Normally I'm not a fan of bands covering Floyd songs, but I actually think Dream Theatre did a great job of bringing thise song forward in a more modern version. I love how the bassist kept the original bass line, totally keeps that Floyd feeling to it!

Yeah, this song is all about the bass. I actually liked the synth better than the guitar in this cover.

what is funny to me is that not too many people of the audience would knew that they were playing pink floyd... hahaha It's weird but DT are fans of Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis... but not their own fans who dont use to like bands that are not "heavy" :P

if your after a very similar sound with a bit of programing and tweaking you can get a minimoog model D and to a lesser extent the voyager to sound pretty passable , the difference is the album version was done on a VCS3 EMS synth with a cricklewood controller which is a completely different synth with a very different filter thus giving it a more characteristic sound , if youve got a minimoog tho give it a go you shuld get a sound that will satisfy your need enough to play it.
