Dream Theater - 12 Steps Suite (Full Song)

the entire song about AA 12 steps

[@funtastic1337]

The Rev died of an overdose. Mike Portnoy recovered from alcoholism and made this.

[@connorellis2740]

i thought the rev killed himself

[@wesleytrott6397]

0:00 The Glass Prison 13:50 This Dying Soul 25:13 The Root of All Evil 32:16 Repentance 42:25 The Shattered Fortress Seamless! Great job man!

[@paulburrows7908]

i have been in and out of the Fellowship for 28 years and have followed Dream Theater along the way and these songs have inspired me through the years, I am 1 year sober now, this is an amazing sequence thanks for sharing .''Thy will not mine, be done''.

[@ZipZapTesla]

i just realized something they all begin with "R"

[@mysticnine]

Huh. Thought they all begin with "Step". We might be onto something here....

[@marknelson1311]

Is step 11 really before step 10? I didn't know they were out of order chronologically.

[@TheJUGGALO1113]

Mark Nelson they're not out of order actually. ix is 9 because in Roman numerals you're basically saying 1 before 10. xi is 11 btw.

[@marknelson1311]

I know how Roman numerals work, and I'm referring to 10 and 11 not 9. Step eleven (XI) is at 40:40, while step ten (X) is at 42:26. Ten is after eleven chronologically in this list.

[@charlesajones77]

The Glass Prison is my favorite DT song. It's great to hear this whole anthology put together finally. Amazing job with the editing Emmanuelle Mustapha.

[@charlesajones77]

It just occurred to me. DT... Delirium Tremens. I wonder if that's a coincidence.

[@penguatkuasaanmersing6827]

charles jones HAHAHA SO GULLIBLE

[@lyndonhenry2759]

Really great that someone put these fantastic songs together. Thank you.... whoever you are. 👍🎸😎

[@MrJ4ck22]

Absolutely amazing cutting. Feels like one single song, as originally intended.

[@Boomer.Roberts]

This is a pretty good edit. The transition between TGP and TDS is absolutely perfect, but personally I feel like there should be more space between all the other transitions. Especially TDS to TROAE, I think it's better to incorporate that build up from the beginning of TROAE somehow. Same goes for Repentance to TSF, I really dislike that you cut out the final voices from Repentance and the build up from TSF. TROAE to Repentance is pretty good, but again I think you should let it rest for a few more bars between the two rather than jumping *right* into Repentance. All that said, this is in fact the best edit I've found on KZbin so far!

[@kellylee5842]

Some of the best music ever written hands down I hope Mike really understands how many people he has helped very glad to hear you made it through it I hope he helps many others to do the same thank you Mike

[@cameodamaneo]

Omg, this is edited so perfectly! I can hardly tell the difference between the five songs!

[@wilkmathiu]

I very admire The shattered fortress, it's amazing in my opinion!

[@Raidenfelipe07]

I don't have words to describe such a majestic piece of art...

[@SeeThroughHead1]

I like the way you linked the songs together so there are no breaks

[@jamiebertram9744]

Track transitions on point!

[@samgquinlan]

I've just been looking at the different videos of this, in search of the most sensible, tasteful editing...you win.

[@diegoguerrero4880]

Thanks for uploading this! You sir, made my day.

[@thekurzweil]

Great job man!! The links between the songs are GREAT!!! Much better than the other video tha hangs around on you tube ^^

[@salvatoredimmarzio]

You must know that trim the track, edit the "fades" and mix it with each other, is a something difficult in the music editing skills. Because DT's song have much chapter and lot of parts that is continued from other songs. But you can do it well, the sounds of each part of song blended well with sounds fused each other (fade in). Therefore, I give the appreciation for your creation.

[@impulse871]

i love this song it has helped me through rough times glass prison

[@nobodyspecialjusteric]

Upon finishing the Suite in 2009, he reflected that he had "dug [himself] into a hole with it. It was a nice idea seven years ago... After a while it became like an obligation hanging over my head, like a homework assignment." He said that he "didn't know if [he] would have done it" if he knew how big the Suite was going to be: "If I had realized what I was getting myself into five albums ago... I think maybe I would have written one song that encompassed all twelve steps." (wikipedia)

[@guitarman3149]

My favorite section is "This Dying Soul" but in all reality each section is absolutely amazing. These songs really show the genius writing of Portnoy more than any other songs he did with the band.

[@Wetfeet569Gaming]

5:55 best riff ever created

[@nickalator1013]

Has any one noticed the suite starts with bells and ends with bells? Its ingenious on Dream Theater's part if you as me.

[@emtakaemtaka]

51:19 Amazing solo

[@meenadaae]

"If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realise that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled amongst us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialise if we work for them." This whole song/album is so amazing. It's probably one of the biggest things that has turned me into a God loving woman

[@frejatbarbossa]

Hipocrisy is drunk with this soudtrack

[@AlexaLacroix]

This is brilliant. thanks a lot :D did DT make this mix or did you? either way its phenomenal

[@DeckardRJ]

Awesome! Did a great job! Congratulations!

[@MartinSalas-bk7vk]

Incredible!!!!!!!

[@skildude]

I learned to live from Learning to Live. Best recovery song ever. Thou it was written for the AIDS epidemic, It holds up

[@ramondebakker6045]

This should be lesson material on Berkeley as an hommage to their former students, insane !

[@connorellis2740]

they went to Berklee not Berkeley ;-; It's much farther away.

[@llucaslayerr]

it really makes me feel good thanks

[@JVR10893]

Fucking stellar job on this man!

[@ryanslater674]

Amazing.

[@vidaljacques6505]

un best du métal progressif ,ils incarnent une fusion quasi parfaite du metal et leur créativité est débordante

[@pierreandferb]

THANKS

[@047thRonin]

Wonderful composition. I believe it is hard to accept that DT is not Portnoy or the other members, but it is actually something bigger than the musicians, this is the reason DT couldn't be over just because Portnoy wanted it to be over. I don't hope for a reunion, unless at some point it means that it helps DT continue evolving

[@JustinPayton]

I feel the same way about Pink Floyd. The music they made overpowered the people making it, which is what every band should strive to do.

[@rafaelmoraes3339]

Very good edition. I would like to know what audio editor program was used to make the transitions in 13:43 25:10 32:11 42:20

[@alevegadiaz8605]

Rafael Moraes I made this edition long ago, the user of account stole me. And i used Windows movie maker, from windows XP.

[@odaliskgrega]

No sé se han robado de ti, mi compañero de piso utilizó mi cuenta para hacer este upload, resulta que el chico ese es un musico cojonudo.. jaja no sé si quizás el "robó" tu edicion pero lo dudo mucho.

[@odaliskgrega]

Rafael, meu ex colega de Apto que fez o upload utilizando minha conta mas acredito que ele fez mesmo pq ele é um musico foda.. haha esse cara ai de baixo ta com dor de cotovelo haha

[@TheAdam159]

i really wish they had performed this live in its entirety. Shame that Portnoy left so soon after the last part was complete (The Shattered Fortress). Also a shame that they don't seem to play The Best of Times live in concert anymore (due I guess to being a very personal song to Mike Portnoy). In fact they don't seem to really play any song MP wrote, anymore. Maybe legally they're not allowed to? Anyway, it would be nice to one day see DT and MP settle their differences, and allow a live Blu ray of this entire saga performed as a whole, to be released

[@BenMichalowicz]

***** the never played the best of times because mike was too emotional. Who wouldn't tear up at a song about a loved one who died too soon or just died before you were ready to depart with them? and TheAdam159, you're right about them not playing That particular song. They actually do play quite a few songs Portnoy wrote. Such as The Shattered Fortress and The Mirror. I don't remember which songs Portnoy wrote from Awake besides the Mirror, and I forget which songs he wrote in Scenes from a Memory. But the bottom line is that they still play songs written by Mike because MP eventually wrote a lot of their later songs, at least from what I remember, so they really can't avoid it.

[@RodniDemental]

Ben M The band has officially stated in interviews that no songs are off limits, so anything could happen. HOWEVER, I have a feeling they won't be playing The Best of Times or the 12SS in it's entirety anytime too soon though.

[@MrJ4ck22]

It was originally intended to be one single piece spread out among 5 albums.

[@vagrantassassin]

would love to set this up as a playlist. Save me wandering through my collection, has anyone done that and can share? Alternatively, anyone got the songs in order including the albums?

[@josemariacastroprieto6222]

la musica la hacen los buenos musicos ,dream theater estan en la cuspide de la piramide ,por lo menos para mi ,GRACIAS

[@nuncjusz1]

my personal edit includes the intro of The Root of All Evil in full, because i think a listener deserves a 'breather' after 25 minute of heavy metal, before, well, another portion of heavy metal...and because of the fact that this synthesized intro is later revisited at the very end of The Shattered Fortress... Then after Repentance i also include full intro of TSF - without the fade-in, since i use the beginning of the instrumental edit from bonus disco of BC&SL

[@piasillankorva9383]

It's a shame Portnoy didn't stay in DT long enough to be able to perform this live :(

This is the real shit dt rules

como decirlo en una palabra (C0JONUDO) en español que es muy pero que muy bueno

[@jimcarey7150]

HELP? Is there a way to get this on my iPhone which says "Not available on this platform"? I want to take this in as I work out or drive....layers of meaning, lots of heart. I'm not a real genius with music, downloads, playlists...I was set to buy this album, but found out (duh) it's not an album. Not in a place to purchase all the related albums just now, and kind of doubt that DT songs are available individually.

[@hamdogo]

Should've got an android.

[@SanctumOfDreams]

Not available on mobile. :(

[@Leo-mh6vs]

17:47 What kind of progression is this?

[@xeriux1585]

lol

[@guidolandinidrums]

Ahm.... It'd be better if you had put the full songs...

[@RodniDemental]

Agreed. The transitions were well done, I do give credit for that, but I think it would have been possible to do transitions without cutting them as much. They were written to connect after all. But hey, I'm just nitpicking, there's only about a minute missing out of almost an hours worth of music. Still pretty awesome.

[@kajbel]

(y)

[@MakoNext]

of course, the glass prison is the root of the all evil after all :P

[@NBKTank28]

Can someone list the songs in order for me? Thanks!

[@adriasoler8811]

It is only one song, in fact.. But I figure that you mean the tracks that compose the song: 1. The glass prision 2. This dying soul 3. The Root of All Evil 4. Repentance 5. The Shattered Fortress

[@toxicmicrowave]

1. "The Glass Prison" from "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" 2. "This Dying Soul" from "Train of Thought" 3. "The Root of All Evil" from "Octavarium" 4. "Repentance" from "Systematic Chaos 5. "The Shattered Fortress" from "Black Clouds & Silver Linings" ;)

...and you thought doing your algebra when you're loaded was hard???

[@robertkeir7567]

A shame Portnoy couldn't keep up with the rest of DT.

[@KPDrums]

Mike Portnoy is going to play 12 steps suite with Dream Theater live from 7 to 10 of Feb on 2017, just a revisit to Dream Theater because He owes it to his fans, to the band and to finish an unfinished business. I hope that this will make you happy :)

[@KanadeChizuru]

Woah, for reals? I've been waiting for news like this since MP left the band...this would totally be awesome!

[@KPDrums]

yeah we have to wait for dream theater to accept the invitation something that will not happen xD :P

[@TrevlarSchelske8588]

Gus Ripper at least petrucci is still friends with portnoy.

[@tobinwasabi]

Hehe loonk at the likes

[@NovaNixEternalFlame]

you are ungrateful, he puts them together and then you come to talk about "dynamics"...

[@MiguelVergaraK]

The Glass Prison and This Dying Soul are the best, then The Root of All Evil, and then whatever, they fucked up with the "ballad one"

[@raulrodriguez-vt3wz]

im hearing that "ballad one" in your honor right now. not a single dt song its fucked up ktxbye

[@billwallace1177]

+Miguel Alejandro Vergara It occurs to me, that you're missing the point of a 12 step program. You've probably never struggled with facing yourself, and all the things you might have done wrong. Context is everything. The song never made as much sense as it does in this suite. Grow up. Or don't.

[@MiguelVergaraK]

Bill Wallace Nah, man. I like all kinds of music, but the song is just bad to me. Sounds half assed. It´s not because it´s slow, it´s because it´s bad IMO.
