  • LaBrie's voice is good, sounds better in studio still awesome. He's no Mikeal Akerfeldt though ;)

  • @becauseican66 Agreed 100%

    Åkerfeldt is GOD... or the devil... I'm confused :D

  • His voice is a little more high pitched when live comparing to studio version. But its amazing anyway !

  • donde tocaron'???

    

  • He sings and plays all this.. Mike is just the best.

  • @PlaskProductions Its takes real good talent to be able to sing most of the song and play those complex drum fills that he does. Mike is awesome :D

  • @MegadethMagnetc Yeah, and the tempo changes.. jesus.

  • OMFG Mike Portnoy Is like Drum Jesus. I have been drumming for 12 years and i still cant play half his stuff

  • Thought I saw smoke coming off Myungs fingers in the intro

    

  • @KingofRock943

    you did, he just used his finger activated fire extinguisher to continue playing

  • Ha ha instead of cheering they say whoah lol epic win

  • Mikes my hero :x

  • THE STUPID CAMERA MAN MISSED THE KEYBOARD SOLO

  • This is a great live performance, but i noticed the tempo is lil' bit slower than the album version :)

  • @LaughLotsVideos If you'd like to see a great stage presence with them minus LaBrie, go watch 'stream of conciousness.'

  • Anyone else notice Petrucci's stupid pants?

  • funny thing is, i saw them in greece that summer but i don't remember seeing Petrucci playing on this particular guitar!! Piece of Art!!!

  • i love this band they are crazy advanced and have amazing timing, but i feel like minus the singer they really lack stage presence, they dont look they are having fun :(

  • @LaughLotsVideos It was a new song at the time so they were probably very focused on making it sound epic. Still a great performance tho

  • @LaughLotsVideos Yeah, that's bit of a pity. But I can understand it: these guys make insane music, so they focus insanely on performing it. Besides, I'd rather see a band stand like statues and making great music than a band that's doing somersaults around the stage and sounds like crap. Don't you?

  • @MegaGuitarrocks i have to agree with you good sir

  • @MegaGuitarrocks

    yes, but then again, if your going to be watching statues play music, why even go, you'll get exactly the same effect listening to album while staring at statues. i mean bands like The Who, Iron Maiden, and ACDC, all had/have amazing stage presences. you can't ignore Angus young and Brian Johnson, or Pete Townshed and Robert Daltrey, and the entire band of Iron maiden, and all make/made amazing music. i don't remember the last time i saw guitar slide.

  • Fabio Del Fubio!

  • I doubt the "Silent Cowbell" somehow got broadcast into the FOH sound - they're two completely different audio systems. More likely is that the recorded found the frequency that broadcasts to the bands In-Ear Monitors, which WOULD have The Cowbell, and taped the audio from it.

  • es un temooooon.. putos malditos cabrones xDDD

  • Didn't know Fabio was lead singer for Dream Theater 

  • @nickanbilly Who's fabio?

  • makes running like a girl look bad ass 1:56

  • 12 people have no idea what good music is...

  • Were we supposed to hear that cowbell?

  • James labrie is racist, the proof at 2:05 :D

  • @matthieu71 I thought he was just waving at fans. lol

  • @matthieu71 i laughed at that for a while

  • @matthieu71 i highly doubt that was a nazi reference lol

  • is it just me or did LaBrie do the "Heil" at 2.06?

  • Haha the silent cowbell that portnoy uses at the beginning, isn't so silent. Lol sound guy messed up

  • the singer look like FABIO the new old spice guy :)

  • The beginning could use a little more cowbell. : D

  • MOAR COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mike Portnoy... SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

  • @Bamisliertjes his backing vocals suck

  • John Petrucci has shred at infinity bpm... twice

  • Though they are kinda boring to watch, this band has some of the greatest musicians. Especially Mike, Rudess and Petrucci. Myung is great, too. And since he is Asian, no wonder he is so good, because Asians excel in most fields they choose (do some research on it). LaBrie is a great singer with a great range and voice, but he is sometimes off-key in some live concerts (e.g, In The Name Of God in Budokan). Yes they deserve a better vocalist/frontman, but he is doing a great job, so...

  • @brentbanaagbaab dude please stfu with the whole "asians excel at everything" bullshit..anyone can be good at anything with enough dedication and passion..

  • i don't like the voice man....

  • we need more cowbell

  • Pisses me off the Petrucci doesn't pull off the sweeps in the solo.

  • @thickpooxbox360 the audience can't hear it. We hear it because we hear what they hear because it's a youtube video. They use the audio from the stage, not the live speakers. If you were there you wouldn't have heard it

  • The secret cowbell isn't too secret in this video, lol

  • It's hard to find a really good bass player these days, but john in myung is no human, but a fucking rock god!!

  • So, I can't seem to figure this out, did Myung fuck up during the bass intro, or was it meant to be like that?

    I for one, thinks it was errors... I don't blame him though! haha!

  • wait why can WE hear portnoys cowbell? thats supposed to be only in their in ear monitors to make sure they come in on time :S

  • @thickpooxbox360 Who cares?? ;)

  • on 0:11 the guy tuning the guitar wish he was playing

  • cowbell intro lol

  • my favorite DT song

  • dream theater is my teacher...

    Black Pinapple, Indonesia

  • 1:29!!!

    mike stuck!

  • Yeah, rockband 2

  • That guy can slay sum drums

  • mike portnoy had a weird last name but he's a fucking beast! lol

  • @latem777 Just a russian last name that means "tailor"

  • @yefremjr ohw thanks for the info, I didn't know that.should have made it that way

  • fuck synyster gates. i never liked ax7

  • @flicfan416 a7x you tool

  • Its sad that this has 140k views, but the octavarium parts from the same concert have only a few thousand. Sad what rockban does to people.

  • @Yodapen6 this is on rock band?!?!

  • imposible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MORE COWBELL!!!!

  • Actually DT's new drummer is a fuckin beast. His name's Mike Mangini and he holds 5 WFD (World's Fastest Drummer) Records. That said, he's not one of those shitty players who relies completely on speed. He does utilize it nicely though.

  • @jialmaraz

    remember, this is dream theater drumming, its fucking insane, why, because they change tempo like nothing, hes got a rather heavy bar to lift, and keep lifting.

  • Is the MusicMan used in this video a prototype ?

  • 2:06 ! WHAT FRIKKEN NAZZI! :O

  • Ahhhh the secret cowbell, we meet at last.

  • The only thing that would make this band better would be more stage presence. More running around. Like a Green Day concert, or Pearl Jam, or Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Coheed and Cambria. It was like everybody accept the singer just stood in one spot for the entire song.

  • could the world handle a dream theatre/rush collaboration?

  • @bawbag2112 no....it could not, to awesome

  • @bawbag2112 too much awesomeness, our heads would explode :)

  • @bawbag2112 I think I could handle it for like 5 secs and than I would implode into myself :O

  • an absolute epic... why is the so called secret cowbell in the mix?

  • *-*

  • Myung is amazing!

  • 2:06 NAZI JAMES...ahahahha

  • And I thought Syn gates sang with his hands....

  • 6:15 not a good note Labrie...

  • I've never liked Dream Theater, but Mike is such an inspiration. LaBrie sucks, Petrucci looks bored, Myung is...asian, and Jordan is.....bald i guess.

  • @KillingKillFire From a bassists point of view, I'd like to say that John Myung is actually one of the best bassists out there. His asianess just makes him extra awesome :)

  • @SlappaDeBassMon it's especially awesome that he uses his tiny asian hands to play a 6 string bass proficiently!

  • @KillingKillFire Racist comment out there?

  • Love this! :)

  • These guys don't have much skill. Skill is when your good at somthing. These guys have loads of tallent. Tallent is a gift from the gods.

  • Awesome song, but holy shit these guys are just too boring to watch

  • I'm not really a Dream Theather fan but I kind of respect their talent. I'm here to watch Mike Portnoy really. But is it me or their vocalist is really terrible? I mean he is not even entertaining to watch too, he is one of the worst frontmen I've ever seen.

  • @MrNoFairy Dream Theater has types of songs that can't be mindlessly played/sang through while headbanging and jumping around will trying to excite the crowd. I think he's just trying to sing the song as much as the studio version as possible, and he can't do that while doing what I said earlier.

  • @gothkillya You don't have to "mindlessly sing the songs while handbanging and jumping around" to excite the crowd. You can understand what I mean if you watch Bruce Dickinson. His voice is really avarage too. If this is the best he can do while concentrating on the stage I'm sad for Dream Theater. They certainly deserve a better vocalist.

  • more cowbell.....nuff said

  • this is the first song I've heard from them -lame-

  • @SchimmyDeanie29 mine too. I just had a panic attack and so i wanted to have some information of it and i typed it on youtube. And so i discovered this^^

  • God damn it when the fuck are we going to wake up and realise that this is shit, they lack true creativity, soul, depth meaning. They sure can play but thats about it. THis honestly bores me.

  • @ShadowDragonism i know right??

  • @ShadowDragonism Just because it bores you doesn't mean it is shit. This is a mostly instrumental song. If you want depth and soul, look up glass prison, pull me under, strange deja vu, count of tuscany, etc. If you want more "exciting" metal, listen to thrash or something.

  • @ShadowDragonism I really hope for your sake your applying some fail form of sarcasm!! ]:( Don't leave gay comments like that on a video where Dream Theater fans come to enjoy the music they love, asshole!

  • @ShadowDragonism

    oh like music truly needs that much depth. man i listen to fucking slayer, and that shit the shallowest shit of all, and that doesn't mean anything. you want depth, go take a fucking philosophy course, cause that has loads of depth and meaning. and who are you to decide what soul and depth is, cause i'm pretty sure even slayer puts their heart and soul into each concert they play. you self-absorbed prick

  • i bet all of the women dont go for the lead singer in the band, i bet they either go for the drummer bassist or guitarist. my logic is that women think the drummer is fast and has stamina, or the guitarist or bassist have fast fingers. all the singer has is a microphone.

  • @RockMasterUlt0mit the singer has a powerful mouth

  • @RockMasterUlt0mit they're all married, I don't think women go for any of them bro.

  • @RockMasterUlt0mit

    yes, but the singer no doubt has very good tongue, so you never know

  • I like the tuner man at 0:12 . " I have tuned hundred bass already... Is this never going to end??!"

  • @Mixer8900 i wish someone tuned all my shit for me lmao xD

  • no doubt they have talent and this song is awsome but their live performance is less than entertaining. now, dont get me wrong they play everything perfict but their performance is not very energetic

  • @cliffallica Whaddya want them to do on stage, cartwheels?

  • @Noobzlikeu ahahha that would be awsome! But seriously no disrespect to dream theater. They are awsome, i just like bands that are energetic on stage, especially bands that are playing heavy music like them

  • @Noobzlikeu LOL!!!

  • Kevin looks like Fabio in this lol.

  • azer kivancsi vok hogy ki lesz az ujj dobos

    mer eleg sok llehetoseg van

    

  • This video has 9 too many dislikes.

  • ooo csm esa wea fue epica!!!

  • @666metalmelisha Octavarium in my opion but both r great

  • 1:04 mike stops playing and fixes him mike

  • @aspasiz he's even more epic cause he kept the beat with one hand lol

  • I like this version more than the studio version :D

  • It's pretty cool to drum that fast and sing at the same time.

  • They are focusing on the wrong instruments during that fantastic solo!

  • there aren't many bands with this much just pure talent

  • @michaelwootenmusic correction; there ARE no bands with that much tallent

  • @miggareto correction; porcupine tree, gordian knot, rush, beatles, transatlantic, etc.

  • @michaelwootenmusic iron maiden is also one of them....

  • Amazing intro

  • @666metalmelisha Its difficult to chose...But I think that Images and Words have better singing and better guitar, and Octavarium have better bass and better keyboards...personally...I prefer Images and Words, but Octavarium is a great album, great songs, great ideas to be based in octaves, epic songs like Octavarium, Panic Attack and Never Enough...actually this was the first DT album I listened. but I prefer Another Day, Learning to Live, Under a Glass Moon, etc....DT is awesome

  • the silent cowbell has spoken

  • did anyone else look at the setlist that they played and wonder how long that show had to be? octavarium itself is 24 minutes long

  • @badjay23 This was "an evening with" type of concert so I say they played for about 2 to 2.5 hrs. You can find the setlists on setlist.fm

  • I didn't know Jerry Garcia played drums for Dream Theater, and why is he wearing a bowling shirt???

  • It's incredible, I don't understand how is that Rudess played this bass intro in his keyboard :/

  • Hmm I thought for sure the drummer had 7 arms....

  • @CrackedUptick it's just the 12 legs you can't see

  • They know what they do! And sing of! Panicatack .is not fun to have!

    Thank you DT!

  • Dream Theater Is Better Than lozers fates warning

  • less cowbell.

  • Now that MP will not be playing with DT at this moment maybe they will go back to the "An Evening With" type of shows thats what I'm hoping they do, although there is no deniying that they introduce PN shows introduce so much more talent to my ears.

    P.S.

    I they will get Deen Castronovo as the new drummer.

  • Portnoy, we're gonna need less cowbell.

  • Technically proficient and well composed.

    But apparently dropping out of Berklee has the unfortunate side effect of missing the course on stage presence.

  • There is no guitarist better than Petrucci, no bassist better than Myung, no drummer better than Portnoy. This is an incredible band filled with incredible musicians. I challenge you to find a band with such highly skilled musicians.

  • @BassistBlaze if your referring to technical skill then yes, maybe. but skill is not everything, its about emotion and energy not how fast you can play or how technical you are. but yes I agree that the members of this band are highly skilled.

  • @BassistBlaze

    Secret Chiefs 3?

  • @BassistBlaze Rush, Yes, King Crimson, The Who

  • @BassistBlaze three letters. ELP

  • @BassistBlaze I agree with you that this is probably the most technically accomplished band in existence. I've seen them 3 times live (once with another of my favorites: ELP). Another incredible prog rock band from the past (the most incredible band that nobody's ever heard of) is GENTLE GIANT from the '70's. Check them out: start with "Free Hand" and just take it from there.

  • @thesomario Dream Theater isn't progressive rock, they're progressive metal.

  • @Noobzlikeu my bad.

  • @BassistBlaze i love DT, seriously , they are extremely awesome, but i know like three more bands with the requirements you established (high skilled musicians), Symphony X for example, there you have Rusell Allen and Michael Romeo, Between the Buried and Me, Portnoy recognized their fifth album (colors) like his favorite that year (2007 i guess) and Circus Maximus, despite they aren't too popular, they are excelent

  • ok ok.... im officially confused... i thought they used 7 strings... am i just retarded and not seeing em or do they seriously use 6 strings?!

  • this song go hard

  • Wtf Dragonforce can't even play live

  • @Kloudexx dude. dont be surprised, they have like 1 or 2 good songs

  • @Kloudexx I doubt you ever went to their concert....it has become fashion to say that DF cant play their songs live. Well give them an chance before you post shit.

  • best solo ever scotland loves you !!!!!!

  • I HEARD A COW BELL

  • è um lixo essa porra rock mesmo é guns 'n roses seus otarios vtnc

  • @daniel1235daniel cara, guns éh outro tipo de rock, não tem como comparar os 2 não.

  • love this song! but ill never lern tht solo haha

  • This band is as good as they say.

  • I WANT MIKE BACK!!!!

  • @balerinauzika what the fuck is wrong with u? I'd like to see Herman Li play this song, he'd screw up totally every time it changes time signature and he'd never make the solo, cus this is GOOD, in difference to him

    Besides, how could any sane person compare this masterpiece to the complete fuckup that dragonforce is?

  • @balerinauzika Dragonforce Is the worst live band Ive ever seen live. I would compare it to when I saw Morbid angel open up for Pantera in 2000. They sounded about the same, sloppy playing and muddy sound...gross. I was pretty pissed off when I walked out of that show. DT as a whole fucks Dragonforce up bad. Plus that name is soooo fucking lame and Herman Li is a studio reliant summers eve douche!!! You are a disrespectful retard.

  • This song explains everything I lived last year (Y)

  • @WiredDrummer are u a veteran?

    if so then glad to have back and not on the front lines, so glad u made it back
