Dream Theater - Learning To Live(Pt. 1)

[ViperRob42]

To those hungry for the eargasm, the F# note part starts at 7:05 but I highly recommend just starting at 0 and work your way to it lol

[irelandexplorer]

One of my favourite songs of all times BUT it doesn't stand the comparison to the Learning To Live from the ONCE IN A LIFETIME album. It lacks pace and energy.

[OniLink97]

@irelandexplorer you must mean from Live scenes New York because the once ina livetime version is less than 5 minutes long

[andrewmilios]

when james la brie hit that F# i.......JIZZED-IN-MY-PANTSSS

[3bertface01]

Myung even camera shy back then....closing his eyes

[HeroOfTheFlames]

@3bertface01 ....myung is asian:P

[kamikaze90watermelon]

Pre taco, LaBrie was the fuckin' man.

[Nforeo1974]

Awesome F# indeed.....no doubt about it.....

[darkmaster98k]

F#... I need a towel and some new pants

[pekisi]

The pick looks like they are acctualy queen...

F# makes me want to destroy everything

[GuillermoSmyser]

@pekisi I literally laughed out loud to myself when I read "F# makes me want to destroy everything."

[pekisi]

@GuillermoSmyser yeah, music has that effect on me :P

Now im listening a lot to awake and today i was on the point

of trowing a desk to the wall, hopefull the principal was on the

corridors and if it wasent for her probably tomorrow i couldn sit

anywere :P

[123123agustin]

4.50!!!

[pekisi]

They look pretty much like queen on that photograp

DT ROX!!!!!

[Proghead26]

The best live band on the planet. That F# made his whole career. Such ferocity, such prowess and build up. I love how so many DT songs lead in with a great LaBrie note to Petrucci's kick ass solos. I was forever changed the moment I discovered this band!

[Voicecolors]

agree! Incredible F sharp! I miss Labrie singing like this!

[pafares]

@Voicecolors don't worry, some nearly day he will recover his voice absolutley and we'll be there.

[mindtoonz262]

lyrics from john myunh

[blackrpg]

One thing that stinks, is they dont play this song on the Images and Words live in Tokyo. I was lookin foward to this song the most but apparently they did it as an encore that wasnt filmed.

[onett128]

damnit the anticipation for that F# was damn near killing me.

it was damn worth it though.

[striketalos]

NOO MOOREE TO GIVEEE!!!!

[darkeagle551]

he was saving up for the F# so he tried to keep it as low as he could

[fastfingers12]

F# = Priceless. I still get chills.

[AxerJk]

What what Petrucci's live rig back in those days? His tone sounded excellent on the Images and Words album, but it sounds like he's using a 20 watt solid state Crate amp live! It's so bad! I'm glad he has upgraded his live rig, it sounds much better nowadays.

[GuillermoSmyser]

Yeah imagine how awesome it would be to have James voice from this time period and JP's current tone. insane. But to be fair JP doesn't sound that bad. I kind of like it.

[edthehead83]

Top of the line Mesa Boogies... this is a bootleg recording.

[roaldski]

Personally i like the version from Live Scenes From New York better, though this is good. Never understod why Labrie have to sound so different live. He's always performing better in studio

[AxerJk]

Yeah for some reason his voice sounded very scratchy on the Japan tour, I don't know why. He sure nailed that F# though!

[GuillermoSmyser]

I think that's how the rest of the band WANTED him to sound. Because as you mentioned he can clean up the sound even at those amazing high notes!

[theclash06013]

@roaldski Because he's had quite a few vocal chord injuries over his career, on the 2009 Prog Nation tour he sounded just as good as he did back in 1992 though, it was great

[Petruccibear]

That doesn't look like Mike Portnoy :x

[immortalsoloist]

it is Mike Portnoy .

[runeskyler]

Hardly any of them look like they do today

[Sabiano]

does your mom look today like she did 30 years ago?!

[TotallyChipper]

Hey, you're right! Man, the keyboardist looks like an entirely different person! Golly!

[DrDreamTheater]

@TotallyChipper He is a different person that is Kevin Moore their first keyboardist, then, Derek Sherinian then Jordan Ruddess (the one they have now)

[TotallyChipper]

I know, that's the joke. :P

[MitchellBeazley]

@Petruccibear ya kuz hes like 20

[GuillermoSmyser]

@Petruccibear Doesn't look like ANY of them!!

[GuillermoSmyser]

What a silly picture!  They looked great on the DVD but this picture is just overly cheesey dark.

[annamullehusse]

Simply awesome! Many thanks!

[ferlotte]

OMG LaBrie..... ooooffff damaging my poor brain cells

[axisundone]

best Learning To Live F sharp ever!!

[GuillermoSmyser]

Wow, I saw your comment before I got there in the song and thought "there's no way" but sure enough, that was the best I've ever heard.

[JakeTF2]

just awesome

[RyanTF2]

i love playing this song on drums its the double bass kicks that are great to play anyway.

[RyanTF2]
