Dream Theater - The Great Debate (Live 1080p) 23/07/11

[radityoah]

Mike Mangini plays this energic song without dificulties......

I respect Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini, and all of greatest drummer in the world....

Don't have to be "The Great Debate" of who is the best drummer, right?

[jackandylan123]

nevr heard of dream theater before but after the gig they were my (second) favourite band that have ever been

not as good as metalica

[SaoirseCT]

I was there! Mike Mangini is just the most phenomenal musician EVER :)

[soocool78]

i still wish they picked Marco or Thoams Lang....i feel that Mangini doesn't add anything more to the band, but is a really good replica for MP, which i guess is what the band is looking for...but after the last few albums i hoped for something different...new album was good, but no drum parts were noticeable

[GianfrixMG]

Rudess @0:45

*changes hand*

*watches audience*

*trollface*

[alucard0712]

Mangini O____O

[TheTwistedDiamond]

@alucard0712 I know! It's so weird not seeing Portnoy...

[Chuck04606]

LOL I love DT and everything, but watching this at the 3:16 mark, I can't help but think that the video being played on the screen is DNA :p

[radityoah]

@Chuck04606 the people who loved to debate, especially great debate, actually it's coming out from their DNA. :p

[Cleaverson]

12:00 the stage lights can't even keep up with petrucci ;)

[danimal97520]

Mike plays this great but is it just me or do his cymbals sound flat? Otherwise fantastic performance

[MusicXofXtheXsoul]

fuck Mangini...did you guys see what Jordan was doing in the beginning? typing shit and DJ'ing his fucking 16th note keyboard rhythm like it was nothing....He's the God here...

[shplog2]

Just noticed Petrucci almost lost his superpowers @ 6:22

[LuciusAngels]

@shplog2 He more than regained it in the solo towards the end.

[KTraska82]

i think we could anticipate a live album coming out very soon. They must w/ that setlist!

[MasterDonut]

Amazingly written song! One of my DT favorites!

[MauroRincon]

I remember the days when i think i could kick Petrucci's ass...

[glennw53]

Truly Epic. Watching MM gives me chills just like MP did{And Does) in the early days. Fantastic choice for the band. As times goes on we will see what music MM has in him too.

[oikonomidis1]

It's awesome to see Mike Mangini doing things with one limb that others can't do with two! He is a beast! The new DT beast!!!

[gigman74]

@oikonomidis1 Please name one thing that Mangini can do with one limb that others cannot do with two.... I'm waiting! ;-)

[Onamorata]

@gigman74 How about on the ride cymbal at 1:51? Thats pretty cool.

[chrisx8x23x95]

@gigman74 go on the channel "IPostVideoForMM" and watch "MoonRLR - Computer.m4v" get ready to be mindfucked

[Siphonoglyph]

@gigman74 : Don't have to. He does it right here in front of your eyes if you're paying attention. Starting at 7:20, he rides on the chinese with his right hand while doing fills that would otherwise require both hands to play (variations of quadruplets, quintuplets, etc) unless you have seriously fast hands and are totally ambidextrous. Which, I can't think of another drummer that is capable of doing that. I'm sure someone out there is...but I haven't seen it.

[gigman74]

@Siphonoglyph Now if YOU were paying attention to the original comment, "It's awesome to see Mike Mangini doing things with ONE limb that others can't do with two!" then you wouldn't have commented! No drummer can do more on ONE hand than others can do on two!

[Siphonoglyph]

@gigman74 : Starting at about 9:20 on "Lost Not Forgotten" Mangini plays 16th notes riding on a hihat (or some kind of stack) and without missing a single note, also plays the snare on the up beat in 1/4 notes. Now, it is physically impossible to do this in the "traditional" way of playing drums without missing a note on that 16th ride on the hihat. So, you trying playing 16th notes on a hihat and 1/4 notes on the snare on the upbeat WITHOUT missing a single note on the hihat. Go ahead.

[gigman74]

@Siphonoglyph You're not listening are you????

NO drummer in the world can play more with ONE limb than ANY other drummer can with TWO. It's impossible!

[MrSixxen]

@gigman74 You´re kidding right? 7:20?

1º He don´t rides on chinese. It´s just a simple and relative slow 4\4 compass. 2º The left hand is making just doubles, and in this case that requires just ONE hand. Maybe you´re confused because his feet are playing fast single strokes at the same time of left hand fills.

If i wrote some error sorry, but i´m not very good in English.

[gigman74]

@MrSixxen Why are you replying to me??

[MrSixxen]

@gigman74 Sorry man. My mistake.

[SvenHild]

what an awesome song! great to see the guys perform their great stuff from the good old times!...

[anti7gn]

7:06 ,that's very accurate

[shplog2]

@anti7gn OMG. hahahaha

[noconflictbanana]

Holy shit! 1080p! What camera were you using!?

[gigman74]

@noconflictbanana Panasonic tz20. All other band videos on my profile were recorded with a Panasonic ft1 which is 720p

[noconflictbanana]

@gigman74

It must have cost a bomb ey?

[gigman74]

@noconflictbanana £235.90 Great camera for the price!

[noconflictbanana]

@gigman74

Thats about 500 in my country.. Not bad though! Thanks for the upload!!

[batera609]

mangine nunca tomará o lugar de mike. mike eternity

[KillswitchEngage42]

@batera609 No.

[bunnyannihilator89]

@batera609 todos ja passamos essa fase, Mike saiu e seguio em frente e nós tb. já agora o album tá demais

[aramper94]

Definitely one of my favourites of dream theater....

[kingbasil]

A very difficult and a highly technical song especially for mangini! I think he nailed it

[drummingdude47]

crowd looks dead

[gigman74]

@drummingdude47 The trip happens in the mind! If only you could see the neurons in the brain...

[xijalx]

2:14 he looks happy... for being a part of the band...

[KrixPrix]

lol rudess has a korg oasys look a like stand but its another one (kronos?)

[redelexa1]

@KrixPrix I think you are right, i thought it was the OASYS but if you look carefully you can tell the difference in the screen, and also the knobs (OASYS has colored knobs and KRONOS doesn´t) such a good observation !!!!

[SpiritHardDrive]

: ) James is such a pansy hahaha but how I love these guys and everything they stand for!

[Xnothinbetter2dewX]

pittsburgh pa october 4th baby

[metaldoood]

Going to San Francisco in 1 1/2 months :) .. Can't wait

[0611dean]

@metaldoood youare gonnahave a blast. MM has given them a new lease of life.i was at this gig, they were on fire, best ive heard them in the last 10 years, even JLB was on his game :-) ENJOY.

[crazychris93]

Life to save life!

[reisselpud]

The drum part is fucking awesome ! : )

[shimyns]

Dude, awesome quality! I just some them in Israel. Do you have any vids you have yet to upload?

[gigman74]

@shimyns Thanks :-) That's all the videos i have. I was told to stop recording :-(

I'll try and record them again when they tour the album.

[shimyns]

@gigman74 LOL yeah I can see why. I recorded a few bits on my iphone but the sound was sh1tty. You must have been toting a good camera and they didn't want you to make a profit off the outcoming video. Cheers

[gigman74]

@shimyns Yeah i mean, if they were THAT bothered then why didn't they search anyone for cameras on the door?? My camera is a panasonic tz20 and looks like a normal point and shoot but i was right by the door and the security were going through there quite often. I have recorded whole gigs before and it hurts the arm after a while. I used a panasonic ft1 on all my other recordings and that is much lighter, which helps! That only records in 720p though but it's still better than most cams

[0611dean]

@gigman74 hi gigman74 . fantastic quality vids.i was down the front with my TZ10 but it was impossible to shoot down there but what i did get the sound quality is still awesome. you cant beat these panasonic point and shoot cams.awesome gig by the way :-)
