so lucky to have seen this at HOB LA, 2000 !!! Petrucci was still playing his ibanez picasso guitars!! what a show, seared in my memory forever! (now for the obligatory I miss MP dammit!!!)
The problem with Labrie is that he doesn't understand his limitations. He was a talented vocalist up until about 1994 or 95. Since then, his voice and tone are far too thin and he can't keep up. He is constantly off-key in live performances and way over-mixed and redubbed in their albums. Petrucci, Myung, Rudess, and prior to his departure Portnoy, got better (or at least more refined though perhaps less creative) over time and their albums reflect that. Labrie is DT's downfall.
@badamrak I disagree. Listen to Peruvian Skies from the High Voltage 2011 performance, he kills it. Definitely not their downfall as they sound incredible on the new album. He is one of few men who could hold their own with the rest of the band and I frankly don't want anyone else singing for my DT.
I don't exactly agree with what you're saying, but I do see where you're coming from. James' voice is WAY overdubbed and altered in the newer albums, but I think he still has it goin for him.
im proof that u dont have to actually play music to understand this music. i truly appreciate the talent in this band. saw them in NH in 98 and it was one of the best shows ive ever been to.
try to do exactly the same thing that james says in regression. listen to the whole album in the correct order, and try to make up the images in ur head. that is AWESOME!
@LunarReplicator08 Me too, in fact they should play the whole album in it's entirety for one show once again with Mike, I think he will be able to nail them all
@MHeisler777 This DVD is like a movie itself, in fact all of DT's DVDs are, but for this one it's kinda like a movie with scenes in them, for example the scenes in Beyond This Life are also seen on the Live At Budokan DVD and the Finally Free scenes are also on the Chaos In Motion DVD but with no sound effects, I think they might be censored.
@JoeyThe14th he left because they were doing the same thing over and over for an extremely long time. he said he'd rather take a break so he could put his heart into it, rather than half ass it just to get it over with. he requested a break and they all declined. so he left. they HAVE made plans to get back together.
@JacquesTrosselly Note that perhaps we can find ONE mistake in a very complex and long piece. Now go and see ANY OTHER heavy band and compare studio and live versions. You'll find "some" differences.
I had someone else's copy of I&W in my disc man, so I listened to it in the car, and then one day it hit me. these guys are really good! so I checked them out on utube, saw this vid, showed it to a friend, and 20 days later we're at the best gig I've ever been to. hardly new the songs, I couldn't have enjoyed it less! 6/16/09 was awesome!
@worthykev I read some reviews on Amazon a while back. They said the sound quality was bad. But it sounds good enough on this Youtube upload so that means it should be even better on the real DVD. I think I'm going to buy it soon.
@Herreken the sound is awesome (trust, me, I bought it, I just to lazy to go to the dvd player at the moment), but make sure it says the sync is ok, because some of the first releases had problems, check MP's FAQ for more details
@OfficialTSC Ok, mang. Thanks for the help. I'll check out that FAQ. I'm sure if I buy a new copy then it'll be fine because it's been 10 years since this came out. Damn, time flies :(
I'll never forget when I bought the 3CD live album of this at Best Buy. I never buy live CDs but I had really gotten into Dream Theater at the time. Still love the band. I bought the 3CD set with the original artwork. Kinda hard to believe this was 9 years ago.
@6digit Het Mikey needed a break, and the band wanted to continue on. It happens but he'll probably be back for the next album, you know DT is gonna want him back
Amazing. What a masterpiece of an album - probably my favorite all-time album. That means it ranks above Sgt. peppers, The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, The White Album, Bold as Love etc.
@DALE97DSM You are right, Jordan did look a lot like Marty Friedman when he had hair which was when he first joined, when Mike left DT it would have been emotional the same way as when Marty left Megadeth
@dwasdwas1 Eh, Tool never plays anything quite this difficult...Mike can't be replaced, but if I had to choose it would be Neil Peart Or Gavin Harrison.
@promarkdw he tried, but members of DT rejected him after he left DT for a short period of time, I was not surpriesd though, I hope he will rejoin DT few years later
@zonic26 Come on, the lawyer was only doing what the DT guys told him to do. The fact that the lawyer talked to Portnoy instead of Petrucci or one of the others tells me that Portnoy is no longer welcome in DT.
@blackmax2323 "Portnoy is no longer welcome in DT" that's because they have a currently unknown drummer, and what did you mean that the lawyer talked to Mike instead of John because Mike was the one who tried to go back and John never left.
@yuyinyu they didn't take him back when he tried to rejoin them. But he's working with Russell Allen on an album now, cant wait to listen what these two monsters are gonna do!
