Acid Rain live at the Berklee Performance Center

[vigierandprsrule]

not that i can do any better(which i can't) this is way too fast and kills the the song

[EvilSkeltos]

Dam what a nerve wrecking song to cover! Somehow you guys muscled through it that's pretty crazy

[impulsivedesigns]

The drumming isn't even close. This isn't a hard song to play on the drums. How did he get into Berkley?

[KyleJPie10]

@impulsivedesigns You a master drummer or something? lol

[impulsivedesigns]

@KyleJPie10 A master, absolutely not. 17 years behind a kit though has to count for something though. Just force yourself to run through the rudiments with a metronome in different time signatures no matter how much you hate it, always start slowwwwwww, then build the speed. This stuff will be simple then. This guy skipped a step or two.

[ziko317]

@impulsivedesigns being better than you? cheers

[lengman2112]

is it me or they rushing?

[vivisonga1111]

nice job!!! nice looking piano man guy.. haha maybe it only works when you play piano lol...but good job !

[vivisonga1111]

nice job!!

[StevieVaibanez]

Harry Potter on bass.

[bigabesr1981]

Wow not an easy song to tackle......great job.

[thalescarrion95]

5 stars too, it's perfect

[snowyjnrz]

Good :D idk about the drummer tho i couldnt hear the dub kicks

[MusicMasterful]

Really, NO ONE can cover LTE/DT. NEVER EVER, NO ONE CANS.

Anyways, you guys are good trying it.

[Aldoz97LTE]

The guitarist is an ass face..the rest of the band is very good!

[ImperialArmour]

I can't even sit down with my instrument staring at the tab for 10 minutes.

How the hell these students played it note for note is beyond me.

[comparetowhat]

Lol Harry Potter on bass XD

[vetlerradio]

Wow, really impressive. That,s what you learn at berklee. GREAT ! I like Dream Theater and Liquid Tension experiment

[1noshoot]

wow lol ive got that same bass

[kanga00cp]

ben aint even in there!

[rockdestruccion]

waoooooooooo felicitaciones :s q buena interpretacion

[zetamesche]

technically their pretty good players but why do guitarists who go to berklee ALWAYS get petrucci music mans and become petrucci clones.

[YtseJam16]

lol why not? they're brilliant guitars and let's be honest, they're probably all Petrucci fanboys like myself ;) admittedly, there are OTHER guitars out there :P

[ransom22]

Because he's an amazing guitar player who attended Berklee.

[JerichoHerald]

@zetamesche  We don't all wanna play this and up like that- trust me :-)

[MerlinBunny1]

@zetamesche Don't lump as all into that small group.

[buefyYT]

@zetamesche

because its a fucking astounding guitar!!

[buefyYT]

@zetamesche name one company that makes better 7 strings that musicman

[nemogre]

@zetamesche Because Berklee is the BEST and petrucci is the BEST and music mans are the BEST so they want to become the BESTEREST OF THE BESTESTEST IN THE WHOLE BESTEST UNIVERSE!!!!!!! (im sarcastic of course)

[Fettus999]

Ha! Liquid Tension Experiment played with taditional grip! Awesome! :D

[drpupilo]

LTE is a superband created , in some sense, by Mike Portony wich also include: Toni Levin, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess. After that they formed Dream Theater. So they are the same people having different name. Maybe was just to avoid legal issues.

[zetamesche]

@drpupilo DT was formed before LTE....READ UP

[dtgerald]

Does Joe Stump work there @ Berklee?

[topperspoppers]

yes

[lucaskeys]

jajajajaa se supone que son alumnos de Berklee!!!! o son los cuates de el guitarrista , x que es el unico que toca, el bajista y el tecladista parece que tienen guantes de box, subn buenos videos , no covers mal tocados!!!! es una verguenza que esten en Berklee y toquen asi....

[CaldeAilis]

Um...Everyone is rushing, and I see some weird scaling in guitar tapping and such, but overall not bad. Definitely not sounding pro, but for amatuers/students it's pretty good. Nice try.

[Dopaminergie]

What a good job! Yeahhhhhh!

[Adamkooooooo]

good but Dream Theater is Dream Theater! :)

[dragonmasterblade200]

Who is this song by? Many people say its Liquid Tension Experiment while many others say its Dream Theater. Did both the bands, LTE and DT do this song?

[Adamkooooooo]

:) this song is by LTE from second album(i think) :D

[Jeibib99]

LTE.

They say it's DT but it's just pure ignorance :)

[ThatItalianGuyTil]

@dragonmasterblade200 It's LTE

[TheAwesomeClub]

@dragonmasterblade200 The song acid rain is by LTE, which is basically the current instrumental section of DT minus Myung, plus Tony Levin

[timn877]

Not bad guys! Great job!!!

[Zemeckis767]

Excelente, requiere mucha dedicacion y practica esta cancion para que suene correctamente. Bravo!

[spongey222]

Its good, but it doesn't seem to sit right... The time i mean. It rushes a lot. But good try :)

[JLMendo]

Nice cover, but, He wants to appear to Shawn Lane

Sad!!..

[RedCapicua]

Congratulations, nice cover of LTE

[adRyft]

And here I was thinking no one ever did Dream Theater or LTE covers...

I think it's safe to say that these guys did a great job, all exceptionally talented.

[sephirothdun]

holy hell!~

[jhonpetru]

excellent work guys my respects

[perrymusica]

increibles!

[dummermut]

fucking hard to play!

[WestonMossman]

Can't even hear the Blue guitar.

[OutsideThe9ine]

i am getting ready to take the berklee online courses, what do you suggest for that petrucci style guitar?

[mitchmaggot]

this is a pretty kool performance, not perfect but still impressive, i like the fact that both guitarists hav the JP signature :P

[nonavarium]

nice guitar!

[yusi345]

how the fuck did they do that!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beyondmaster]

[trinixia]

wow, very impressive.

[WestonMossman]

I'm in ur BPC pwning ur Acid Rain.

[cerote91]

[Bitziucci]

something went horrybly wrong at 6:00

[rodrigozamo]

6:00 o clock in a christmas morning...

[na4yk]

its very good, but still too many mistakes, till you graduate think you could be perfect and wish you luck

[TheAwesomeClub]

@na4yk So I take it I wasn't the only one who notice the subtle mistimings by the keyboardist during the 'intense' segment at around 0:53?

[moosology]

Wow, the second guitarist with the blue guitar has the shirt that says it all. "I'm in ur B.P.C., pwning ur Acid Rain."

[wcr4]

are those shirts rewritable?

[batacumbele7777]

Fucking awesome bro, genius, ya know i hadn`t ever seen this song beeing covered so well, congratulations. Are you guys still studying up there in boston?

If u are, i `ll see you guys next year

[juani0510]

great performance guys

[petrucci73]

isn't the second guitarist who is not fat is dream theater's sound engineer or something like that? i saw him in the making of SDOIT

[iamthemush]

perfect

[ElNaidel]

the bass sounds really good!!

[brunobragatto]

God damn!

Amazing Job Guys!!

Absolutely Outstanding!

[spiesatme]

Impressive! :D

[rlevanony]

Awesome.

[adolfo21]

I just got OWNED :O

[brakkum]

great job, sounds awesome!

[UnforgivingCritic]

that part at 2:27 should be done with the keyboard.. sheesh., they would've noticed that..

and it's easy to do primarily because they have a band member onstage that knows where to trigger the right notes..

[PFNarek]

Well yes the keyboard player didn't play it in this version, but the guitar DOES play it as well. It's a unison, and I know this because I saw LTE in June and it indeed was played by JP and JR. =]

[dimedizzle]

Nope. 2:27 is a guitar/keyboard unison. Watch LTE play it live

[UnforgivingCritic]

why are you saying nope?

that's exactly what i mean.

[dimedizzle]

You said it should be done with keyboard

[UnforgivingCritic]

mice, this is where Petrucci got his music education..

[devouringone3]

Wow these dual EB/MM JP seven-stringers are just amazing.

Actually they're all pretty much amazing!

[buug123]

the bassist looks like mclovin!

[adhirajackass]

amazing tone. props man.

[PhantomDarkTheif]

very nice stuff guys. very well done. Lead guitarist, u have some sick skill. i like the look of the rhythm guitarist's guitar more, but u guys are amazing. i would like to see u guys open for DT or LTE(if they ever play again... hope they do!)

[angelswillarise]

wow this is very impressive.

[pablomhde92]

excellent vid and its even better cause this is were JP studied and thats the JP signature guitar (the blue one)

[UnforgivingCritic]

i think that seven stringer is also a JP signature guitar..haha, hmmmm., weird.

[RyanTheMusicMan001]

Lol, they're both 7-string JP signatures I believe :)

[DimebaGtr]

3:41 !!!!!!!

[guitar2687]

wicked sick guys!! great performance! really u rock!

[cnoel666]

Wow ! Well done guys !

Especially for the lead guitar ! You rock

[polock2112]

oh..considering..that most of LTE and dream theater came from that school...i think u guys played the perfect choice :D

[polock2112]

LTE ftw

[HomerWench]

ROCK ON! U would make the LTE guys proud!

[UberDTfreaK]

I might soil myself.

[sebbalarsson]

Hey, its McLovin on bass!

[elgeorge9]

omg!!!!! xD MCLOVIN!!!!!! ahhahahaa but... i got to say that he looks like a good player... and very nice bass... hahaha

[CarterFilmLtd]

dude it IS! hahaha

[weezul]

was very good. only bad thing i noticed was the keyboard player pushing the beat at the first piano break. otherwise, stellar!

[metabog]

Holy shit balls...

I'm giving up music.

[Nac117]

Excellent work!

LTE would be proud.

[Nubnut]

Fantastic work guys, you hit that spot on. My only complaint is that the keyboard seemed a little too quiet at points.

[Danzoc]

5 stars for the great work, congratulations!

[djvdrums]

hey thank you!

[fabjtown]

Dude you rock man, badass. CT drummer here. good for you man! Keep it up.

[drummerforpeace]

[Jkringen]

[0Lewis0]

Fucking nice. Feels sped up too, which if you can keep it up at that speed... shit hot.

[dor44]

[djvdrums]
