awesome, I'm working thru your Astonishing book and love how the characters are coming to life, so I can't wait to read thru SFAM. also question: where did you get the beanie? Also another question, I love your longform lyrical/musical analyses, would you do this for other albums in DT's catalogue? EDIT: ooh, I see you already did this for Images, please keep it up, I love it! If you did literally every album some day, that would be, well....astonishing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the long-form Astonishing video (yes, I watched the whole thing although it was over a couple days) and am looking very forward to watching this video in its entirety so I will put aside 5 hrs this weekend to check it out. Take care Peter. Absolutely LOVED the book!

Increíble, muchas muchas muchas gracias por compartir esto. Es realmente un privilegio tener una mirada desde dentro de la misma historia. Para mí este es uno de los mejores discos de mi vida y siempre estaré agradecido por el viaje emocional que Dream Theater nos regaló. Escribir música en torno a una historia, la cantidad de recursos compositivos que utilizan John y Jordan, la interpretación de cada miembro, la cantidad de estilos que se exploran, realmente un disco único e irrepetible. Tanta música y tanta emoción y tantas personas sin tiempo para la música. Muchas muchas gracias por este video.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Big shout out to you man for being a positive and passionate podcast that’s not either super political or self-help structured. I finished the Images And Words in depth video and re-listened to a lot of your stuff (James, John and Roy Khan among others). All the best man! I consider you as the secret 6th member of DT. I’ve also listened a lot to the Awake album which I think is often overlooked so close to Images. Would love a in depth analysis of Awake! Best, Øyvind from Norway

Awesome. Thanks.

Peter, have a great new year, what a great way to start the year with such an extended video!

Can you do this for Scenes from a Memory, too?

The singer sounds like Nils from Pagan's mind, fucking sick guys! good job!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can you do this for, like, every album? Love to get their retrospective and how they feel about each album, track by track

Lovely conversation and insight into this great artist, thanks Peter

So underrated cover

Best Cover so far ❤

Thank you for this, excellent discussion!

Peter, I forgot to add, what you said about the track Don’t Look Past Me, you took the words right out of my mouth. It’s one of my favorite tracks from that era and of all time. But I have an especially deep affinity with James’ audition take. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard that version but it’s the one found on the Antiquities bootleg. To me that’s the definitive version, the way James soars on that take, it’s other worldly. Hearing that line, ‘if someone says their heart needs lifting, don’t ask how come, ask how high’’…with that power and heart, and in a live setting, holy shiz it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!

I came to the party rather late. But thank you for this, I GREATLY enjoyed this video. The sound, lyrics and themes of this album give me a warming sense of hope, especially since I’ve been rather low lately. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed your insights and observations, would love to hear you do the same with the rest of the discography.

Yessssssssss 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Can you get this novel either as an Ebook or an audiobook? I'm a blind person, so well, can't see paperbacks or hardbacks.

It’s unfortunate that Pagans Mind is dead as a band. They have been for a long time now. They were a fantastic band.

1:00:17 "Awake" is the shining moment of Jame's career. His performance on this one is outta this world.

Que bien suenan!

Don't leave me now

wow❤

Hes an incredible vocalist 🙂

Most underrated Dream Theater album, people just don't give it a chance. You have to listen multiple multiple times to truly understand because of how long it is. It never drags, unless you just don't truly know the music. Its their most melodic and most powerful album. And you'd be lying if you said it didn't sound like dream theater.

Neat guitar solo!

Hey Peter, is it cool if I use a small chunk of this video for a video idea of mine? I'll provide you your deserved credit.

21:02 This video basically answers the question if Howard was classically trained. It's been talked about for nearly two decades. This was a great interview. Hopefully more people come across it to know the truth, haha.

didnt know john petrucci also played bass

One of my favorite DT songs and you guys did a stellar performance!

Damn! here I am, June 16th 2024 listening to absolute perfection. Well done my friends! Fantastic version.

the best cover under a glass moon!!!! lml

Very good 😎😎😎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥

Wow. Beautiful work!
