Am crescut cu DT. E trupa mea de suflet. Nu credeam ca cineva mai poate reproduce cu o asa acuratete toata muzica lor! E fantastic! Mi-au dat lacrimile!

[@sultanofswing9834]

Now i know what james labrie does in his free time.. he plays guitar with a band that covers DT songs

[@yankeeyrae7553]

[@jonathansefcik473]

It's like that episode of Metalocalypse where Toki plays Skwissgar's parts in a Dethklok tribute band.

[@ts8398]

😂

[@dottybb2756]

Wow, blown away by this performance…spot on. The drummer and guitar player are absolutely incredible. Very impressed by this cover of one of my favorite DT songs.

[@carlostejera8406]

Holy ..... a drummer that can play this in a 5 piece set with a few cymbals awesome great tings from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@wzzadrian]

James Labrie on guitar...fucking amazing

[@chrisgrose300]

A very impressive and competent performance, with a nice female vocal line

[@bucaro5336]

This is one of the best clean tones i've ever heard

[@rasismaulana]

THE CLEAN, PRECISE, BEST, GREAT COVER OF DREAM THEATER... EVER! Salute and respect from DT fan in Indonesia.

[@auswitch]

They made it!!!.... The Soundboard Guy deserves credit!

[@studiomarand]

This is one of the best performance of DT music played by a cover band... congrats everyone from Italy. A special thank to the singer!

[@svetprihov6224]

That snare sound and guitar tone ... soooo sweet. Fantastic cover. Great job everyone.

[@sepita10]

[@erwinsinosuke8647]

[@Ejmillanv]

this cover made me tear up, it's so good , amazing job :')

[@gregorysydow4428]

WOW!!!! Outstanding work! One of the toughest rock compositions of all time and you guys do it serious justice!! Well done!!!!

[@ugurcangegin7708]

Draem Theater with good vocals. Cheers

[@dustinparker9456]

How does one play portnoys parts on a 5 piece????

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

Simplified a couple of bits but you know what, the vibe was still there so I didn't miss any of the intricacies! Absolutely superb cover

[@vampiremoose123]

What a quality interpretation of this song, much more than just a tribute band cover! The band put a lot of heart and soul into this version of the song. The beginning piano accents not on the studio version, the lead singer's amazing voice, and the talent and musicianship of the band is unparalleled in my opinion. Not a spot on cover, but a more creative version of the song. Definitely one of the best DT renditions I have ever heard!!! Great job AWAKE!!!!!!!

[@thehammer5200]

Always loved Romania and their people, this just makes me love them more.

[@dcairol]

Impressive drums, vocals...everything!!!

[@dexdexter7078]

Real vibe of Dream Theater, girl/singer is amazing...and whole band is superb...greets from Serbia!

[@rockynets]

Holy crap that was GOOD! Congrats! You even did the little nuances that they do on some live versions. KEEP IT UP!

[@fideldely5988]

Dt sounds great with a female voice. Great work everyone. I'm enjoying it!

[@pvdguitars2951]

This is my favourite DT song. You guys and lady perform it to perfection. Just mind blowing. Amazing!

[@ManicMotoAZ]

Nailed the part at 9:25 ! That was awesome!

[@mosquitobrainsrg]

the performance, the tone, and most importantly, the video quality. All on par. wish had shit like this in Jordan.

[@vinicius_s_santos]

Congratulations, amazing song, perfect cover band

[@ffs1414]

mais um BR que conhece a banda .... massa!!!!

[@brunodesousa294]

Esse cara da batera é fera demais. Grande cover essa banda!!!

[@alexaverkiyev9099]

You ARE AWESOME!!! I've heard this song first time when I was 15, I was playing drums and it was a huge motivation for me watching Mike Portnoy performing his incredible part. I know this song by heart, and you did a really good job, considering how hard and complex it is! BRAVO guys!

[@marcopaugym1604]

Bravo baieti si Sabina! Interpretare superba 😱💪 felicitari din Italia

[@marcopaugym1604]

I should also add the this is IMHO Dream Theater's ABSOLUTE masterpiece. What a motherfucking song! You never get tired of it, something that maybe just Learning to Live and Scarred will give you. Metropolis and Finally Free... Last one: The Great Debate? ACoS stands first tho! ❤️

[@serroche]

Really impressive, that drummer is brilliant. Cheers from Spain, really nice work guys!

[@keithwingo514]

Great work! Majesty! ;) Also, whoever mixed this is a sound genius.

[@lutornado]

Dream Theater feeling proud right now

[@sander7964]

That was awesome. So clean and perfect.

[@cryptica23]

[@thorggernaut3081]

this is a FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE guys. as a full time music student/ guitar major, I've got nothing but absolute respect and admiration for the time and dedication it would've taken to get to that level of musicianship. damn that was incredible........

[@mr.d7429]

You guys rock! You all have such a passion and are equally talented! Rock on!

[@williamlanger9229]

[@davidmunizvallejo9460]

Awesome! Incredible! Greetings from Spain!

[@lpngente4802]

Great drummer and guitarist

[@jetklaatu9831]

Normally I don't expect much from a non-English tribute band when it comes to Dream Theater songs but WOW!! I was blown away by how great you guys are! Very accurate and plenty of feeling put into it! I always thought that a female lead doing DT music was much better!

[@rafaellago172]

Excellent performance!

[@BigElectricBull1981]

You guys are really good! Good show! Good show!

[@rickfeith6372]

Hell yeah guys....that was really tight. You guys owned the legendary instrumental section The Darkest of Winters. LOVING that guitar tone...clean sounds AMAZINGLY good...great wah pedal sound as well. Just a spot on job. 5 thumbs up...lol
