[Rorhin95]

@lulalely what?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

[niejel]

good. no dislikes.

[mithmasta2]

why do people in orchestra's never look happy?

[scorpiones103]

fucking orchestra people died at the end of to much stress and energy that they had to put up with during the whole concert!! their brains just went bbooomm!! at the end thats why at the end you just see them laying there!

[FallenEdge1]

Score and Budokan are two of the greatest achievements in music!

[TheMan750]

love the camera work

[marco79cfc]

Mi sono commosso.Grazie di tutto ragazzi.............

[BxT4POUTxP]

Labrie sounds great here. One of the best songs

[Rhapsody3991]

[Dizzyd715]

Bought this DVD for my brother for christmas now I wanna steal it back for myself!!!

[JL199598]

[RitaOrnellasBass]

I know the song by heart but still I can't play it

[driverofsound]

You know when you missed a really concert, and the DVD just wont cut it? Well, I missed this tour and feel like I was there because of the quality of ALL (SCORE)! Tman!......

[NeedHeadMusic]

0:25 I wish I could play the slomo

[Solai08]

Couldnt enjoy myungs solo cos of the volume... :( but, still fucking amazing

[ditroiamusic]

LOVE the French horns and the Tubular bells especially! This is awesome!!!

[LaNinjette]

Is there a part 2 to this song?

I've searched it and results come up but It's either "sped up" or something that doesn't even go with part 1.

[GuiTaRHeRo37170]

@LaNinjette Metropolis pt.2 is the album "Scenes From A Mermory"

[LaNinjette]

@GuiTaRHeRo37170

Ok thanks

[JL199598]

someday this guys will be remembered as genious :)

[Th3CatfishMan]

Even the subtitles are rocking out 5:01

[AyeVale08]

Simplemente dire que los amo.

[sikdrummer100]

myung is a god

[kazetehskylord]

Mike threw his drum stick at the audience. I would have kept that shit in a glass monter for all eternity.

[kelvinafox]

I would love to be in the orchestra, a better than front row seat to watch Portnoy mock all other drummers.

[pologilbert]

Speechless

[jaccm911]

The orchest at 2:49 must read and though "holy fuck!!!"

[mrollg]

@jaccm911 haha so true

'

[mithmasta2]

@jaccm911 dubi da pop da... vdejkjr.. dub di. kejrgkljerg

[dNk1WolF]

[igggeric]

[JThrashYT]

@igggeric I actually like the bass volume on this dvd. budokan was too loud for me.

[eferkano]

6:48 the worst part of this video ever !!

[rexross13]

[GhProGamer93]

I LOVE the Bass solo at 1:16

((Metropolis Pt. 1)Pt 2)

[RickPaniagua]

Dream Theater's pinnacle in their career... right before they switched labels and things changed. It's almost heartbreaking just to watch, knowing that it's not going to be the same anymore.

[chaveznieves]

@RickPaniagua you realize their previous label had been keeping them down for years and years right? they did NOTHING for dream theater

[RickPaniagua]

@chaveznieves Very very VERY true. Atlantic was not very nice to them at all, and Roadrunner definitely brought them serious exposition to the world and to many metal fans... but I will admit, something about DT's perseverance while being with Atlantic definitely made their efforts after "Falling into Infinity" completely epic. Them proving AtCo wrong was probably their most awesome work, in my opinion.

[chaveznieves]

@RickPaniagua totally

and i really don't feel like theyre regressing with their new label. the fact that they are with road runner has not contributed to their music at all. in fact, road runner has nothing to do with the albums at all untill they are completely finished and DT says here you go, release it. the fact that their music has gotten heavier is a result in their personal choices and tastes. i, for one, totally embrace this change, and i'm loving it. i enjoy the new with the old equally

[RickPaniagua]

@chaveznieves But I am a bit scared to find out how DT's gonna sound like without Portnoy. It seemed like him and Petrucci called the shots most of the time when it came to arranging the albums.

[chaveznieves]

@RickPaniagua they were the leaders definitely

but in terms of music writing, it was all collective, and everyone had a say

in terms of leadership, petrucci definitely becomes the new face of the band, and i think rudess will step in as co-leader

and quite frankly, i don't think the music will suffer. if anything, the music will start to revert back a bit to their older style, because portnoy was by far the biggest metalhead of the group, so with that gone, i think it'll sound like the old stuff

[bowlingfor1]

@chaveznieves actually all their albums from images and words were produced by Petrucci and Portnoy. This to avoid any pressures from discographic companies that usually put on the artists a big pressure. They have as well a contract with Roadrunner, but it is mainly for the world wide distribution of their albums...the company has no say on Dream Theater's musical products.

[chaveznieves]

@bowlingfor1 they were, but i still stand by what i said

[bowlingfor1]

@chaveznieves i'm not complaining about what you said, it is your opinion. I am saying a fact: all their albums after Images and Words were produced by Portnoy and Petrucci. :D

[chaveznieves]

@bowlingfor1 yeah i know lol

[danimal97520]

@bowlingfor1 You are stating extremely incorrect "facts"....

"Awake" was produced John Purdell and Duane Baron

"A Change Of Seasons" was produced by David Prater and Dream Theater as a whole

"Falling Into Infinity" was produced by Kevin Shirley with very little input from the band.

It wasn't until after Falling into Infinity that Portnoy and Petrucci started producing everything. Don't believe me? Look on the back of those albums at the producers listed.

[joshuanaconda]

@bowlingfor1

eeee NOT

[fireball676]

4:13 love that part of the song...probably one of the best written songs they have ever done...its just amazing

[EazyRun]

Just got the information that Portnoy left the band over a month ago o.o

Can't believe that after this performance! Awesome live performance. Nothing can beat this!

[Progehr34]

Whoever says that Metropolis Pt. 1 is not their best song shall feel the wrath of John Petrucci.

[MetalMazta]

from 3:13 on they REALLY crank up the tempo and i've always wondered why. now i know why and there are 2 reasons; first they exceeded their time window and for every additional minute in radio city music hall you gotta pay like 10000 dollars. they ended up having to pay 30000 and if they hadn't played metropolis that fast maybe it would've been like 40k. and second they are freakin dream theater, they can play any song at least twice as fast.

[chrisophpolis]

Dream theater u Are THE BEST FOREVER!!!! and ever

[nakkiuros]

these solos are probably best in the whole dream theaters history

[BillyJimmyBobbyTimmy]

@nakkiuros These "Passages" or "Musical pieces". They were all in unison so not really solo's.

[AlbinoCliffhanger]

MORE MYUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[voodoogirl89]

That's unique. I love it.

[MightyStreetFighter]

9.9/10 in this performance. The one flaw: WTFuck is up with Myung's bass levels?! Not fucking cool!!!

[napowansnare1]

@MightyStreetFighter I agree completely.

[piratebri]

did they play an encore?

[JoeNewham]

@piratebri This was the encore. They closed with Octavarium. :)

[wormded01]

The only thing that would have made this beyond perfect is if they turned up Myung for the show. It's kind of hard to hear that amazing bass solo. Other than that it's the most incredible concert I've seen.

[abhimuscat]

Portnoy is God!!!

[TheGUIBASSMAN]

Just amazing!!!!

[federigaalin]

even mozart himself would give a standing ovation to this guys :D

[julio13wrathchild]

4:25

OUCH!

[MuvoTX]

1:20 !!!! 

[steininja]

this song gives me a boner... and i'm not ashamed to admit it!!!!!!!

[destructionman1]

Man I love John Myung cus like you never hear anything about him and they don't film him that much, but he's still a total bad ass haha.

[rickycalderon]

Magestic

[STorpedo]

Ok, this might be an unpopular viewpoint, but did anybody else think that the majority of lyrics in metropolis pt.2 were absolutely horrendous? Horrible and crowbarred rhymes, 6 words followed by 3, then by 6 again, not used for emphasis, but apparently for no reason at all, et cetera et cetera.

[AgileCow]

@STorpedo nope, didn' even kinda think that once. I thought it was very good. The lyrics for this album aren't traditional anyways. It's a hypnosis session, followed by someone exploring their own mind

[STorpedo]

@AgileCow I didn't either until I wanted to understand what the hell James LaBrie was actually singing, and oh my god was it terrible. I'm not a big poetry nut, so I'm leaving this up to question, but jesus, it's like they wrote everything in a single day. Just look at the first couple of lines in Beyond this Life; three sentence structures followed by 4, for no reason, the 4th paragraph's final line doesn't even rhyme, sounding out of place with the rest of the rhymes. Yeesh, I could go on.

[panamanian911]

@STorpedo Im surprised you're not saying that about this song. Portnoy said that this particular song was about nothing. The real chore was to write lyrics for metropolis part 2 to kind of morph it with this, and I think the lyrics are great and you can actually understand the story. Live, well, labrie isnt the best at singing high notes and emulating words at the same time, but he is DT's voice, and will always be it.

[STorpedo]

@panamanian911 Well, I'm glad that you're able to enjoy the lyrics, but I'd still disagree about them being great. The one thing that DT always pulls off great are the chorus lyrics, imo, but everything else's typically borderline 'good enough'; it's fairly simple to tell a story, you can be pretty obvious about it, the hard and creatively 'fruitful' part is making them flow, which, I hate to say, I believe DT falls short off on more than one occasion. Got no prob with LaBrie though.

[STorpedo]

@STorpedo 'them', as in, 'lyircs', I meant to say.

[abhimuscat]

@STorpedo poetry is not always about rhyme schemes, some of the greatest epics like paradise lost etc were written in blank verse.

[STorpedo]

@abhimuscat Except in this case it's set to music, and even if it were not, I'm sure you'll agree that the actual reasoning for framing it in such a convoluted structure is lackluster, there's nothing actually gained in the majority of lyrical mishaps except for a finished sentence which was poorly implemented.

[STorpedo]

@STorpedo Or, rather, a finished sentence which surely could've been made concise and relatively succinct given more time and effort, a finished sentence which wouldn't need to sound at odds to the rest of the lyrical landscape to get it's point across.

[abhimuscat]

@STorpedo wow!! let me get my dictionary!!!

[STorpedo]

@abhimuscat Go get it, we'll wait.

[Kwupples]

i wish i got into dream theater a couple years earlier so i could have gone to more concerts

[stevedadaian]

I get chills whenever I hear this song (brings me back to when I was a kid). These guys are incredible; greatest of all time.

[Annulable]

Poor conductor! How does he keep track of all those time signatures?

[STorpedo]

@Annulable I'm sure he's classically trained, if he is, he's had worse, trust me.

[jpetruccii]

no body can beat them on live....they are the gods....

[jewmommaify]

@jpetruccii Exept, Dream Theater

[jewmommaify]

5:57 wtf?



[TwoCows23]

@jewmommaify What? It's Portnoy existing.

[jewmommaify]

@jewmommaify No what portnoy was doing to myung

[ddtmeiao]

I wonder what were the impressions that those orchestra members had of the band, maybe some of them even became fans too

[milchbubi2503]

they really know how to rock.

[24021987ification]

I like it as pornoyt runs nearly all the drums ringing in tones, and when rising pitch is too

[UnWantedProduction]

is it wrong that i wanna see them break into the entirety of Dance Of Eternity during the instrumental section?

[LiquidTheaterDrummer]

Epic!

I've a question, listen carefully to 2:54, 2:56. 'Mike Portnoy anthology - volume one' says that the time signature is 19/16, but I think it's 10/8. Does anybody knows?

[GoatseFarm]

@LiquidTheaterDrummer I believe 2:54 is 5/4, or 10/8. 2:56 is 3/4 for the first measure and then 7/8 the second measure.

[GoatseFarm]

@LiquidTheaterDrummer Actually, sorry. 2:54 is 19/16. 2:56 is 13/16 for the first measure and 7/8 for the second measure.

[froggo787]

@xtreme855 don't you mean, "sometimes the images don't seem to match the WORDS"?? hehe

[ArtemusDelphus]

@froggo787 :D

[Proggaddicted]

outstanding! best performance ever

[FirstTurnKill]

"IRON MIKE" Portnoy!

[gschneiderdrummer]

what the hell is it written on portnoy's back?

[percy336]

1:16 es un chuchaaaaa !!!

[vikingmetaliscool]

LaBrie sounds like Dr Rockso at the end when he says "...keepin the dream alive! Goodnight!"

[3bertface01]

its so awesome that Dream Theater bow to the audience at the end of a concert, it should totally be the other way round though.

[RickyAvenged7fold]

best labrie performance live

[vikingmetaliscool]

couldn't agree with you more

[minime220220]

okay, the sound guys suck. you can't hear rudess half the time, you can't hear labrie at all at the end, and the bass solo is barely heard. WTF!

[pinkdrink1]

That is some damn skillfull bass work. (And that's not diminishing the rest of them one bit, mind you). I swear I could enjoy just watching him play the entire concert.

[Monticello24]

that harmonic at 2:10!

Jesus h. Christ.

[elespaciodeedu]

Great Solo Bass!!

James Labrie: ".......and keeping the dream alive!"... Epic!!

[BettchersGuitar]

Definately one of their best songs ever. I love the solos in this one.

[anewbeggining21]

Or you can be a real DT fan and just go buy it! Might as well support the guys along the way right?

[liquifex]

So amazing. These guys deserve their success 1000%. Damn proud they're from LI NY :-)

[ub3r2008]

That was mind-blowing. Dream Theater is the best band ever.

[brillo89]

u are right man!!! best band ever!!! i love them

[AvengeTheR]

@ub3r2008 NOOO U SUCK DT SUCKS OMFGGG IM GONNA KILL YOU SKILLET IS THE BEST YOU MF !!!!

ok , im just joking,you're right ;)

[DroogieSteve]

Labrie's voice is great in this performance. He doesn't get as tired as in Live scenes from New York and he hits notes a lot better than in Chaos in Motion. Almost as good as his voice on Live at the Marquee.

[Sonarion]

If you happend to see DT at the BC&SL tour you will really know how great he is.

[concertinamen]

I saw them on the BC&SL tour and he was great

[aggguy666]

look petrucci´s shirt is in fire cause his velocity hahaha I agree the orchestra looks exhausted

[fahim113]

Is it just me or do some members of the orchestra look exhausted trying to keep up with the band?!

Awesome!!!

[yepenga92]

i would feel the same lol..

[Tonatiuth]

Ha well after Metropilis part 2, Octavarium and Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence everyone gets tired

[akimoto1009]
