rick and rudess are my favorite keybord players...thank you for upload this video,it´s a great song performed by a great pianist JR,can´t wayt to see you guys in february.
what can i say...amazing,epic, beutiful,powerful...yes, but we wouldnt expect anything less from Jordan :) thanks for sharing your gift with the world...WE LOVE YA MAN !!!!
I would pay A LOT of money to watch you in concert. Just you and your piano! You play with so much passion it is unreal. You are very inspiring Jordan!
@Cod4isllineed I was, but it wasn't an offense in the first place. I just didn't liked the improv. After all we don't have to blindly push ourselves to love everything that comes from the musicians we like, right?
@johnmoncrot No, i actually love Pink Floyd. I have 7 of their cd's, and all DT albums and DVD's, including The Dark Side of The Moon cover. I'm also digging Devin Townsend Project, i think you can't get much underground than that. All in all the comment served as an experience of what i DON'T like to share. Scuza's to Jordan though, for trying to mess up his reputation, he has nothing to do with my problems. Back on my way to the Bright Side Of The Moon. x]
@Cod4isllineed My apology was for this is his channel, much like his home, and i expected the fans to reply me, not him. As soon as i saw he's active here, i apologized. x)
@JCRUDESS Unfortunatelly i know, and i'm sorry i bashed at you, since it's not you *YOURSELF* whom i was mad at. I'm actually quite a fan of Dream Theater and your work, since SFAM.
@filipeguitarrista83 It's a musical technique called rubato, often displayed by such ridiculously famous classical composers as Chopin. It is a swaying, flowing, direct expression of emotion that, when done well (as in this interpretation of Hey You) results in very soulful music.
@mitsubachi2 Good, i didn't know i was gonna poke on so many people's wounds. But i guess my major on Social Communications taught me a thing or two about myths, and how some people are almost as fanatic as kamikaze pilots.
@filipeguitarrista83 I did not mean for my comment to come off as preachy or annoyed: I was just trying to clarify a point. So far as being a musician, I am not a fanatic, but you might find people that are so musically passionate that they are indeed fanatics, and in this sense, I see no problem with fanaticism.
@badhandtim1 Yes i do recognize that now...What i was mad at at the time difficult to explain in a few words. But i already told him i was sorry, and i'm pretty sure that everyone who commented FANATICALLY NEGATIVE in my comment, also did lots of pretty bad things in their life too, so don't come here judging me as i did something absurd that YOU (whoever you are) didn't do it too to someone else. A little more EMPATHY to those who admit their mistakes please...
that was incredible, i didn't think it was possible for someone to do a better job of a Pink Floyd song than the band themselves but your version simply eclipses the original (not that that in any way takes anything away from the original), well done !
Such a spectacular performance. Original and profound feeling. Bittersweet taste is emitted tickling all our senses.. . This is how i personally define music. I definitely agree with KARABINAS said.
if you're here watching this obviously you and this guy have the same personal taste in music, so what you hating for? Dude, there is no room for hatred when it comes to the floyd. So shut the fuck up, and enjoy real music, cus this shit is going extinct. BTW great job, really loved this cover
Jordan, can you play a cover WITHOUT hundreds of notes per bpm? Really,it is NOT necessary, specially in a PF cover. This is only noise. A very good exercise for fingers, but nothing more.
@alee82 Its called passion. When someone plays with passion, they set their own tempo. You're preference is slow soulful notes, where as others have a different opinion on what is soulful. If you put them down because you have biased and ignorant opinions, then you sir are the fool.
Ohh man... astonishing!! So nice to hear this song on a well played piano version! So much felling on it! I really hope that someday Rudess make a Cover CD of some rock classics!
Hi, I am very impressed by the way you play this beaufil song. I also play the piano and would love to try the same. Could you send me sheet music of this version please? I would be very grateful!
@ritameshulam :D I hope this is a joke! It would take years to write down the improvised awesomeness of JR! And if someone really would do it, nobody would be able to play it!
Hi, I am very impressed by the way you play this beaufil song. I also play the piano and would love to try the same. Could you send me sheet music of this version please? I would be very grateful!
This is an amazing tribute. I love the original, but this really takes it to a completely different level. I salute anyone who can take an incredible song and make it more incredible. I salute you Jordan. Cheers.
Another incredibly played piece of music from one of the worlds best players. It's a pleasure to have heard Jordan live and to keep listening to him express himself through his music. If only I had 1% of his talent...
Just saw this today (November 4th)... my nephew passed away yesterday and he loved Roger Water's. It was just so perfect to have had someone post it on the day that I really needed to hear it. Amazing by the way... I was spellbound! Thank you!
Dream Theater is one of my all-time favorite bands, but I really wish Jordan would slow down every once in a while. His work on Scenes From A Memory is essentially untouchable in my mind, but this video is exactly what i don't like about his current playing style.
The melody has been buried under hundreds upon hundreds of superfluous notes. I'd love to hear more of 0:22 - 0:34 and less of the unnecessary scale runs. The man is clearly a virtuoso, but he needs to rediscover his musicality.
@Kajaah117 or maybe you just cant follow him and you lost the melody, all the extra notes and scales he uses, are to complement the rest of the instruments, and of course he has to do the vocals too, another thing is that, if you know Pink Floyd, you know that Gilmour usually improvises this solo, so, Jordan did improvise as he usually does, thats another "charm" of cover songs, to "version" them, sometimes music does not reach you the first time, try to get used to the song first.
@necroyoli08 Oh, I can follow him. Don't worry, Jordan is still one of my all-time favorite pianist, period. I've listened to all of his solos hundreds of times. It's just that in the last 5-6 years, they've just become too... busy. John Petrucci can shred like nobody's business, but there is a very well-defined and well-articulated core melody to his solos too.
Just listen to the Petrucci/Rudess solos on A Nightmare to Remember compared to The Great Debate. Nobody's perfect; he's close.
@Kajaah117 u obviously arent a big of fan as u think. becuz if you listened to "An Evening with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess" you'll see some of the potential of two of the most talented musicians that ever lived!
@JEDSaje15 I adore "An Evening With...," I'm just saying that even though Jordan is among the most talented pianists in the world, nobody is above criticism. I personally think Petrucci did an amazing job covering the Comfortably Numb solo. He made it his own, but he kept the core of the solo intact. Jordan just missed the mark on this one.
Again, these are just my personal feelings on the matter. Jordan is a true virtuoso and this doesn't lower my opinion of him at all.
@Kajaah117 i do have to agree with you on everything is personal opinion, but i dnt think jordan went too far off the beaten path, i still heard the song in my head while he was playing. nd ur mentioning the comfortably numb solo from the queensryche dvd right? cuz i find it so funny how the 2 guitarist could not hold their own against petrucci lol it was epic fail for them lol
@JEDSaje15 Haha, I love Queensryche, but the bald guitarist's thumb was just.... awkward to look at as he was bending those last few notes. Especially when contrasted with Petrucci's pitch-perfect technique. =P
I can hear the melody just fine by the way. I've just always felt that just because you're capable of playing more notes, doesn't mean you should. That's the philosophy that Petrucci has inspired me to apply to my guitar playing at least...
@Kajaah117 I totally agree with you. I think somethink he just need to stick with a melody and not add many extra notes. Sometime it sound pretty insane (Scenes from a Memory) is the best exemple, but sometime, it does'nt sound right. Jordan is one of my all time fav keyboard player, but i agree with what your saying.,
amazing! after hearing this and your version of imagine, i think you should make a cover album on piano, i dont care too much for covers i think people should only do there own stuff but you are a very big exception =]
Do you actually need focus very hard to stop your fingers from arpeggiating all the time? ;-)
It seems sort of automatic. (Years of practise, I know...)

@Kajaah117 I totally agree with you. I think somethink he just need to stick with a melody and not add many extra notes. Sometime it sound pretty insane (Scenes from a Memory) is the best exemple, but sometime, it does'nt sound right. Jordan is one of my all time fav keyboard player, but i agree with what your saying.,
