Dream Theater - Ytse Jam(piano version by Jordan Rudess)

[obucar]

Sounds more like derek sherinian

[m00g33k]

This video sucks, I hate it that he's playing Godly and then he's pointing his finger at me. FML. FUCKING FML

[radirpok]

I have this in mp3 on my hard drive, and the file date is: 20/09/2000... I got it from a friend of mine, who was a friend of Mr. Bungle aka Peter Rajkai, who is/was a DT fan, and recorded this on his midi keyboard. The year in the mp3 info is 1999.

[Gref75]

It doesn't sound like Jordan :(

[ciccirocco]

jordan rudess = perfection. 

[regisethisgoals]

i think it's not jordan rudess...but it's nice and awesome......

[BufferBob]

@regisethisgoals it is actually, I saw the video few years ago but now I don't manage to find it again, maybe on dailymotion...

[Kukopuko]

It is Jordan, this same piece of music appears in the credits from the 'when dream and day reunite' dvd. who would put a song of your own band in the credits played by somebody else?

[niniaty]

This is Jordan Rudess. I heard this piece about three years ago, a friend sent it to me. Pretty awesome stuff.. hm, probably the fastest song I` ve heard him play, or anyone play for that matter ^^ =)

[OfficialTSC]

I don't know whether it's JR or not, but it's deffinatley not an acoustic piano, it's got faint string pads and way to much reverb to be a piano.

[jamesmelling2]

@OfficialTSC jr would be playing his kurzweil though, wouldn't he? :') i personally think it sounds like a midi, but then his fingers are so damn fast he could probably make it sound like a midi!

[JThrashYT]

i dont give a fuck whos playing this... my ears enjoy it and thats all i care about

[ThatItalianGuyTil]

Fake or not, it's pretty damn awesome

[alessandrocolombano]

FAKE

[Israfel93]

WTF that is... uh... no words... o.o

[gaussman08]

this guy can't even use the pedal ._.

[leepep]

That's not Jordan rudess !!

[lisalisa1004]

This is not rudess..but this is a piano rendention of ytsejam, played by PETER RAJKAI...

[AdiMercury]

Amazing, but nothing is difficult for Rudess u.u

[luxiitoo13]

wow men is cool!!!! : )

[gonzatlas]

not rudess...

[TheShaderin]

fake!!!!!!!!!!!no way is jordan

[ytsejam6891]

It's nice, but there's no way it's Jordan; It's midi me thinks.

[Gioextreme]

IT IS A MIDI FILE

[RandomGuyBlake54]

Jordan is staring into my soul!!

[BLooDCoMPleX]

He just steared into my sould for five minutes and a half.

[raonigermanodasilva]

master of keysss

[XMcEvilson]

hmm some of the notes are different, but cool version...

[plasticPlaystation]

This is not Jordan Rudess, this is played by Peter Rajkai.

[onlyhuman3]

i liked it but didnt sound jordan rudess like, only one point sounded a bit like him, but the rest made it sound not much like him

[Gabbo1014]

genial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TechNAB76]

Well.. why not ask The wizard himself on his own website? I'm sure he's willing to answer this question if he indeed plays this piece.

[Surmoka]

This is performed by Peter Rajkai, a Hungarian keyboard player. It has nothing to do with Jordan, this version was recorded before Jordan even joined DT.

[23unknown32]

This is by Derek Sherinian

[Flemmingdoerken]

It's not really fair how he pulls off John Myung's bass solo with the left hand only...

[facePuncher5]

@Flemmingdoerken Yeah, you need at least both of your hands to do a bass solo where you do a bass solo.

[JesusAlbertoPinto]

In When Dream And Day Reunite DVD, during the end credits, it says clearly: "Piano rendition of Ytse Jam by Peter Rajkai" So, this is not Jordan playing, but excellent, though.

[blazerart]

@JesusAlbertoPinto

Cool. :-) Yah you're right, I just checked the DVD last night. It's cool though.

[Unholybarrelmaker]

sounds like midi

[blazerart]

I will confirm that this was performed by Jordan Rudess. I got the When Dream and Day Reunite concert DVD which I recommend of getting one, this piano version is played as BG music during the casting after the concert.

[raphaelgoncalves]

Jordan or not, it's a great arrangement.

[cortx2lh]

Even if it isn't Jordan, for me this still good.

[ViperRob42]

further proves how awesome & talented Dream Theater are

[MrRenatol]

of course it´s 2 piano playing and it´s not a jordan´s version.

[Bochie777]

Jordan Rudess is the MASTER!!!

[xxcraftxx1]

Muy bueno si ese piano se escuchara asi de duro con la guitarra seria muy brutal!!

Petrucci y rudess Good!!

[lincolnpomper]

I think he plays with octave effect in this version.

[MISTIKRAIN88]

but man...this is a fake!!!

look at 3:10 it's IMPOSSIBLE,It's not a 1 piano,it's 2 piano.

[Gioextreme]

MIDI! Fake!

[XSymphony]

watch his videos

[paiste009]

definitivamente es jordan, dream una banda progresiva ........capaz de hacer estas composiciones y mucho mas.........................

[gust0743]

As i said in my video before this dude stole the clip, this is a version of the ytsejam posted on the bands webside many years ago by a big DT fan.

HAHA.. ive known the majesty backwards thing for three years now but yeah.. pretty freakt when you realize it! xD

[Necromicom6]

este wn del jordan es un puto Rudessiano....

no es de este planeta el csm... es un maldito hijo de puta xD .... no puede ser que el qlao sea tan exelentemente bueno ...

esto demuestra q el qlao puede tokar cualquier wea que se proponga !!

[maneldbot]

yes... it sounds

[ghostlord101]

also Rudess' OASYS piano patches frankly sound better than this piano does, this one has nothing organic about it, even when Rudess covers stuff he adds flavours of his own style.

[blazerart]

@lucasferrety

It the wizard himself playing. What would you expect from him other than playing godlike things? To note, this is not yet his greatest performance, this is just kinda sort of warm up for something even brain melting piece.

[Archontasius]

even if it's not rudess, it's still majestyc isn't it?

[kReEaYtEr]

How did I just now realize that Ytse Jam backwards is "Majesty"?

Hah

[JackeShan]

Lol I have been a fan of Dream Theater forever and just realized that too.

[mophead02]

holy shit, i didnt know that either haha

[kReEaYtEr]

Crazy isn't it? :D

[shotsh]

:S shit......jajajaja....been listening to dream theater for years and never realized!

[TerrorAndmore]

@kReEaYtEr

no shit moron, that why it's called that way...

(they got sued for this name when they were called majesty)

[kReEaYtEr]

@TerrorAndmore I wasn't asking why it was majesty backwards.... I was just saying I had just then realized it, which was surprising to me.

Also, notice that comment is a year old....

[BryanHolopainen]

@kReEaYtEr I haven't realized until I saw your comment ^^'

[AdiMercury]

@kReEaYtEr Majesty was Dream Theater's old name

[kReEaYtEr]

@AdiMercury I know. That's why it was surprising to me.

[syncomposer]

MIDI!

[chaveznieves]

yeah i agree. WAY too robotic and unexpressive to be rudess. rudess would own this way harder than this noob peter dude

[helloweenarctico]

is Peter Rajkai

[chucke1963]

Too robotic to be Jordan. Jordan is way more dynamic and expresive.

[Petrucci158]

I laughed out loud at this. This was such brilliantly subtle mockery. You, my friend, are a comic genius.

[xX0Jota0Xx]

um which?

[ItalianoConfuso]

@chucke1963 The jordan rudess i know is very robotic ò_ò

[ItalianoConfuso]

@chucke1963 But yes it doesn't sound really like jordan

[idel9x]

@chucke1963 indeed. its sounds like midi or virtual instrument.

[maneldbot]

looks just like midi file

[DonPetrushka]

NOT RUDESS!!! It's Peter Rajkai!

[BuddyPling]

i am serious =)

go the the forum on Jordan's webpage, or the forum from Mike Portnoy and do a search yourself. It's MIDI and Jordan was not involved in creating this (btw excellent) version of ytsejam.

I also thought this had to be the wizard but i was proven otherwise.

[Baldormesh]

well not is jordan rudess, but I think if he could play it

[BuddyPling]

perhaps.. Jordan is also pretty technical and emotionless in his playing like this version is showing. Nonetheless i've always liked lots of notes flying around so if there would be a live performance Jordan is the one!

[BuddyPling]

this is done by a turkish guy, not Jordan Rudess!!

dunno where to find the link where jordan explained this..

[srbshadow]

Sounds a lot like a midi

[bersuit120]

spectacular amazing... jordan is the best

[ktusincnprnddo]

does anybody has the sheets from this cover or from the original? if you have them please tell me!!!!

[MissPianist]

Wow, amazing piece! I love it! Does anyone know if the SHEET MUSIC for this piece EXISTS? THANK YOU!

[srbshadow]

I've searched over all the web and couldn't find it, but I have the MP3 if you want to try to play this by ear. I'll try.

[onefunnydog]

Just find the midi and get a midi reader as a musi sheet. You'll be able to see it as a score :o)

[koenhermkes13]

He's is a master :D

[srbshadow]

Somebody knows where I can get the mp3 of this?

[metabog]

omg ignorant omg!!!!

[Markcello]

Is not Dream Theater, not Midi and not Jordan Rudess. The person who did this is Peter Rajkai. He lives in Hungary and is a friend of Mike Portnoy. Ignorants!!!

[tomacoexperiment]

yo have to say that 4 times?

[Skatetodeath1234]

kind of mean to be calling people ignorants... just because you know that doesn't meen you have to write like 5 comments on it, I respect this song many more times than you do, and i had no idea who composed this version untill you said it, it doesn't mean you can be a bigshot about it shut up.

[darkgnite1]

it sounds alot better to say jordan wrote it ;)

[riffojm]

Jordan wasn't in the band in this album

[barbadosx]

That doesn't mean he couldn't have done this.... I'm pretty sure he plays lots of songs of theirs he wasn't in the band for at the time.

[Markcello]

Is not Jordan Rudess, is Peter Rajkai.

[Markcello]

This is not Jordan Rudess, iganorant!

[zelihic]

man he is the twin brother of mozart

[joker555555555]

OMG!!

[monocs]

amazing *-*!

[ElectricClown1]

hes a good man on the keyboard

[plerimest]

this is very cool!

[Skatetodeath1234]

Best Song On the planet obviously a Perfect Musical mind...

[666wrathchild]

lol jordon looks like a much better version of my old school's music teacher

[Wuffur]

It`s from "acoustic dreams" album called "Piano serenity not JR playing". BASTA!!!

[weldorjay]

jr owns!!!!!

[Cosmos135498]

trust me, if JR was playing this it would sound a lot better; this arrangement (which is very good actually) was made by anotherone; however, there is no expression, sounds robotic, just notes.

[lukoutube]

I agree.. sounds robotic but the song is great

[dsart]

this is not JR, if ypu pay atention you can hear perfectly that all this is midi

[hyukjoon22]

but it's still really amazing, isn't it?

[aalvisg]

JR can do this anyway hehehe =P

[Markcello]

This is not JR and not midi, ignorant!

[Carlos7492]

oh god!!!!!!!!!! :D

[j0rd4nrudess]

fo... this sucks...

[undeadbrood]

And your name is Jordan Rudess in the most retarded way possable...?

[nmrd123987]

The pic says:

"Jordan Rudess wants YOU"

[hydracip]

he'd like to "hide" his character, maybe???

who cares??!?!!

I LUV IT!!

[Gioextreme]

è un MIDI

[Khullah]

the sound could remember it. are you shure?

[TEGUEVARA]

O rudess é muuito bom mas, essa só acredito vendo!

É muito superior a tudo q já vi ele fazer!

[monkeywho]

Lay off on Kevin. I have immense respect for Jordon. Kevin helped make Dream Theater what it was, but eventually he felt it was time to move on. It worked out as we got Jordon, who is beyond words amazing, but I respect both of them.

[peyotx]

@monkeywho IM AGREE MAN !!

[aethemn]

Mmh, some place on the song there's more than two pianotracks. However, I don't know why some people complain about it. He have recorder it that way, he does not play everything on this song at once, unless Rudess has four hands, wich I doubt :D

With out those multiple tracks this would not be so good. Now there's rhythmh, wich should be in every song, and also some "solo" parts wich gives a depth to the song, if it's well done.

[ozzy4president91]

well 4 hands would help explain a lot. and if Portnoy had 4 arms and 4 legs. yeah thatd help explain a lot

[Khullah]

which parts are "4 handed"? me dont see

[diodoubled]

i havent heard this song befor but it sounds too good to be somthing elce but rudess`

[tatobridges]

Is he. Do not underestimate to jordan .

[heavilygroovey]

thats not jordan

[44Bigs]

I'm not sure this is Rudess either, the piano doesn't really sound like anything he's used afaik.

[JimMorrisonAbrams]

Doesn't sound like Rudess himself, nor does it sound like anyone with any skill playing, there's just no "feel" to it.

[Vausus]

jordan rudess is perfect!

[comarcx]

i have this album! this is really Rudess playing the piano version (it's a real piano btw), it's called "FROM WITHIN" from the album "AN EVENING WITH JOHN PETRUCCI & JORDAN RUDESS"

[andiiee2432]

That's not Jordan hehe

[germox]

Sounds like a midi to me, specially at 1:13-1:16, its absolutely emotionless, and with the exact same volume, no expresion

[comarcx]

this song is called "From Within" from the album "An Evening with John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess"

[msandslimsuck]

thats a good album.

[alexprime]

not bad, but it definitely is not rudess for some of the chordal movements are wrong and radically change the riffs.

[UnforgivingCritic]

but it still good.

[UnforgivingCritic]

yeah.,doesn't sound like Rudess at all.

[dimmuuuu]

Acording to DT's WDADR, this is actually from someone called Peter Rajkal.

[rafinski]

yeah this doesnt sound like jordan rudess' style

[ai4281]

I always thought this was Kevin Moore

[Adilinar9000]

Kevin wouldnt have played something as emotionless as this

[cacaman17]

kevin kinda helped make make the song

[jenius92000]

is this even from the when dream and day reunite DVD?

[joelioes]

it's not JR...it's DS...not JR...this mp3 has been circulated since 1997

[Rammbajamba]

Ehh i don't know i thought that it's Jordan Rudess but it's not him ! It's a problem :P

[ACDCBoy62]

So its actually Derek Sherinian?

[fezthecat1]

beautiful

[Rammbajamba]

This is a official cover by Jordan because it hear while end credits When Dream And Day Reunite DVD.(i 'm not good in english:P)

[NachoDeath666]

isn't a Jordan cover... is from other guy... in the credits appears... search...

[BuddyPling]

it's not....

it's amazing but not Rudess..

[pinnecco]

Don't think this is Jordan Rudes... I man this cover has been around for quite a while.

[metalmano]

amazing man,,

thnks for the videoo :)
