Jordan Rudess plays "Imagine"

In honor of John Lennon's 70 birthday I got inspired to sit down and play Imagine. Such a beautiful song, written by someone who had such an incredibly meaningful life. The message is timeless.... Filmed with my Zoom Q3 video camera and performed on my Steinway D.

@DesignInNature

the room was built around the piano of course.

Imagine there's no shredding.

@CaptainShtuff I know that when I play the piano knowing the lyrics helps me to know when to play what rather than using sheet music (I don't like sheet music for everyday playing I only use it when necessary) so he probably uses it the same reason as I. Which if I wasn't clear was for knowing when I was supposed to play each key (matching it up with the lyrics)

[CaptainShtuff]

Good God, now that's a Piano lol. (btw, why does Jordan have the lyrics up, but never sings? Just sorta wierd if you ask me, whatever lol.)

[MrAlczan]

Just look at you as a human figure ever see in you a good aura. When you hit the keys so then you transcend this plan.

i play drums(metronome/beat keeper) and listen to the music much more than just being the beat keeper for the band, and this guy plays the music straight to my heart.

@DesignInNature

It is possible to take apart and put back together such a piano (I've seen a piano prepared for shipment overseas).

It's not fair ...I have 94 votes on my comment. I should be in the top comments... Visit my channel and realize I know how he is ...it was just a joke...(:

[Islandofspiders]

@LPZAC world's best PROG keyboardist

[BeowulfVids]

@brachmed, that is most likely true. Most professional pianists do that so the room is acoustically meant for the piano too. I know this virtuoso guy who bought a piano, then had a house built for it.

Look, if you speak English more perfect world, congratulations! Now if you are a motherfucker I do not care, man I do not speak English, I do not live in shitty countries that use this language, I do not care about you. be happy with his impeccable English.

[851852093114208513]

@Buguassao - Haha, at least one person doesn't realize basic English sentence structure and thus shouldn't be talking down to other people as they seem to be.

[Buguassao]

Lol, 19 people don't know what is a piano.

[Crx018]

19 people don't recognize talent ...



[SoderberGMusic]

I could play that.

If I hade approximately 136 fingers.

[MusicFromTears]

What A Beautiful Cover. I Fell In Love With It. Literally

[LPZAC]

Is it just me, or is Jordan Rudess the world's best pianist?

[DTRawDog]

@Sebastianodelarada hahahahahahahaha xDDDD God xD This is the funniest of all ignorant comments. His name is Jordan Rudess and he is part of Dream Theater, one of the most amazing progressive rock/metal bands around the world. He developed the App MorphWiz for the iPad and iPod and was awarded for best apps for those devices acording to Apple.

@DesignInNature they built the room around the piano

[erikizitoxxx]

@DesignInNature Closed and with the feet removed, positioned verticaly

[nec6alex]

[CristianTejadaU]

It seems like this guy love apple... maybe someday jordan will do a complete album with just Ipad app....

[catharsisvoz]

very good version of the song. congratulations!

[haruglory6890]

@Superfreaxx oh yeah, that's actually true, thanks :) I was thinking of the number of years they've been active (the band was formed in 85) but yeah, they weren't very famous until the first album came out =P
