Dream Theater 40th Anniversary Stage Tour - John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy

[@tretansakera_war250]

Jordan is like a scientist explaining about the robot he created.

[@irasound]

Да! А какой у него красивый тембр голоса!

[@MikaelaHedberg]

As if he didn't have enough stuff to do playing the Dream Theater songs already. 😅 He's just amazing!

[@deanprapanca]

Yes and the robot has a television too.. 😎❤

Lap steel: "What is my purpose?" Jordan: "You play Octavarium intro" Lap steel: "...oh my god"

[@Blend33]

Jordan: "yea welcome to the club pal"

[@thetelepath8245]

During the Copenhagen gig the Lap Steel didnt work properly, so he switched to the Continuum halfway through the intro... "Lap steel, you had one job, man!"

Bro got a fist bump from John Myung

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

Bro never wash his hand after that to keep 0.1% power from John

[@Lupercal06]

Yeah I remember during a meet and greet before a show they told us to fist bump, to preserve their moneymakers (hands) for the show.

[@tretansakera_war250]

lifetime achievement 😂

[@ohareport]

this is up there with “jonathan frakes complimented my beard”

[@carlnicola634]

Love how Jordan's setup has evolved over the years, while still keeping it clean. That screen is awesome

[@OKDesignSF]

Thanks! We built the screen for Jordan and loved seeing it on stage!

[@Wunendro]

Oh, i really miss this kind of video. Thank you guys. You are the best.

[@dreamtheaterclub]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Heiteinah]

This whole video is awesome, but the folks at the end of it? Talking about the work and how proud they are to setup the whole thing? Thats so cool!

[@MartinE5200]

its all about that, how all the shit work, and you was there to make it happen... if some don't understand it... fuck them.. xd

[@ericolml]

Many insightful thoughts from Myung

[@joeking9760]

I guess Myung is gonna get his own full video.

[@claudevieaul1465]

He was in his corner, did a fistbump. Missed it?

[@claudevieaul1465]

[@thorfinnthegoatmc]

he did fistbump. i think thats the tour

[@BrainyBoy1200]

The tour manager has so much passion for the business, it's great to see that 40 years on tour haven't made him cynical whatsoever 🥰

[@jedvillones]

Finally, a cockpit view of the unnamed monster.

[@HellcatDemonPurpleEye]

Thank you Mr Tony Levin for inviting us in this fan tour behind the stage it's been so cool to see all the hard work and the amazing equipment that makes DT a Great band but specially thanks Mr Levin for taking part as the voice of John Myung 🙃

[@andinodinoo]

WTF 😂😂

[@AtomizedSound]

Haha I thought that too

[@giorgioceroni3008]

[@nsl4570]

They got us in the first half, ngl xD

[@vinniciusrosa8284]

The last guy. Nice words.

[@stevedocherty1816]

So fucking awesome to see all the behind the scene guys that are equally a part of the Theater of Dreams making all this magic happen every night! So damn cool!

[@deadwood21plus]

Jordan is almost 70, but he doing many things. Upgrade his weapon every year, doing music software/apps, and the last one, he become Strandberg guitar artist. He's also very interactive and humble in social media (Instagram). What a lovely grandpa 😍.

[@hitmanrj]

Man, this is GOLD!

[@TheDarkEternalKnight07]

0:59 A Rite of Passage, cool!

[@metalisandman]

is that on the current tour's setlist?

[@csukovitsgyuri2507]

​@@metalisandman no but they'll do some changes. On Ola Englund's video they've talked about baritone tuned to A because of These Walls

[@Dmndbling]

​@@csukovitsgyuri2507 They also said in that video that the guitar case is from last years tour. Thats why there is also an 8 string. I wouldn't assume they would be making changes to the setlist.

[@csukovitsgyuri2507]

@Dmndbling portnoy said it in an interview

[@bmabs35]

One day Jordan is going to design a fully functional spaceship. His rigs are crazy.

[@lukasmoodysson4701]

For James he’s got a tray of snacks and prepped meals by his chef in between sections

[@munkeepilot]

All of these dudes give props and kudos to their long-time assistants. Respect!!!!!!

[@tomlangmusic9623]

So cool! Thanks to the camera crew, band and sound/lights. Great to see big rock production continues. Go Jordan R!

[@AlexisGitarre]

Mike Portnoy is the click track. Thank you Mike!!!!

[@2good2betrue3]

Great stage tour!👌the monster Jordan rig is awesome, the JP booth is really amazing🔥, MP's Purple drum Kit is fantastic, and the the "fist bump" from Myung is something nostalgic.🤭...havent seen James Labrie.. might be sleeping.🤘

[@marklcustom]

19:50 Thanks for mentioning us John! 🔥🔥🔥

[@grapictstudio]

This will be perfect if John Myung also explain his stage set up. Respect to him.

[@christianricci140]

Jordan is a fucking insane man, I love!

[@lamey99]

He's like a mad chemist ... With notes! The Wizard! 🤟🏼

[@waseemova]

So much hard working going on behind the scenes,DT shows are by far the best shows and so their music is.I saw them in Berlin a couple weeks ago and the show was a dream to remember everything was perfect and on point .Thank you for this informative video

[@Sam-cv6un]

Cool, thanks for the behind the scenes look!

[@stoyanrashev1653]

I can’t get enough of it.Please do continue…❤❤❤I will love those guys till end of my live 🙏

[@alfonsan]

5:22 saw that one in Madrid last night and I loved it! Very fun and informative of your contribution, I got hooked by it a few times Jordan.

[@OKDesignSF]

We made the display for Jordan and the keyboard pattern is definitely one of our favorites!

[@alfonsan]

@@OKDesignSF Great work! My group of friends and I found lots of fun, and it has huge potential for future features!

[@ARTIFICIALFAITHOFFICAL]

I will always remember the day I heard Pull Me Under in my parent car while driving onto the ferry from Gothenburg, Sweden to Kiel, Germany. Went to se the Images and Words tour and the Awake tour + plus a clinic with John Petrucci. A few years ago I reconnected as a fan and went to the A View from the top of the world tour. Also the reason I picked up the guitar again to write and shred!

[@gregorysleeth1792]

I just love seeing all the cool music gear.

[@munkeepilot]

THANK YOU for this video. What a production, and everyone on the entire team is so gracious…that’s why they have lifelong avid supporters.

[@grantclarkson9184]

This kind of information, interaction was completely unheard of when I was a kid. At the end of the day, no matter how old you are, this is inspirational and I'm fortunate to check all this shit out. LOVE IT!!

I loved the person whistling along to JP playing the Octavarium chords towards the end haha

[@demite5267]

Thank you for this video. I've been binging all of their old backstage videos and so great to have the latest one!

[@BrandonMelvinDrums]

Holy shit I love Portnoy's purple kit. And now I feel justified in my pronunciation of "Tam-Uh" lol. Thanks, Mike.

[@zeethedrummer]

I can feel the pressure in the air. They got a few more hours to bring everything to perfection before the show starts. This tour must be exhausting for guys their age man!

[@Cybothron]

Thanks so much for this video!

[@pamelaryan8753]

So lovin all the treats you give us! Can’t believe it’s been a minute! Still remember you guys from the Universal Amphitheater! Unbelievable…

Awesome production and tour of the stage…..really enjoy that.

Yeaaaa🔥🔥 Unbelievable. Very very cool🤘🏻

[@rot_studios]

Great to actually see some interaction and talks with the crew behind the band. Unsung heroes, them people are :) So much passion for what they do too. Though I suppose you'd have to with 18-hour work days haha :D

[@BenDinsmore-z1v]

I could watch Jordon discuss his set up all day. What a beast.

[@michaeldover]

Met and saw you guys in Luxembourg. I intro'd my gf to DT as well. She and I both loved the show, and it was great to meet and chat a few moments. I'm the one who gave y'all the coins. I see Chuck in there as well! Hope to see you all again soon!

Great video guys! I was there that night, it was amazing 🙂

[@diegomonteirobatera]

Thank you for this video! I really wanted to see the new gear.

[@gauravlama2079]

I love videos like this from Dream Theater. Loved the gears on stage I would also like to see what do they use for practice backstage. Gears etc……. Enjoyed watching everyone else but missed John Myung’s Rig rundown 😢😢😢

[@kimbleist]

Mike and Jordan seemed very tired, lol. Great video, guys!

Amazing, many thanks 🤘

[@flashanddancedj]

For me who works in the production world this side is amazing to see… I can just imagine how many local hands you need to put the show up in 6 hours to be ready for sound check….

Great vid! I would love to see a full video on Jm’s gear that would be awesome especially me as a bass player!! 🤘🤘

[@gastonfau8012]

Jordan: The new stand and screen are really AWESOME. I saw them live yesterday in Madrid and it was a HUGE improvement. The keyboard screen that represents the keys played is really an amazing add on. Really great improvement to watch.

[@OKDesignSF]

Thanks! We loved making the display for Jordan, and it is really cool seeing the fan reaction!

[@gastonfau8012]

⁠@@OKDesignSFWe all could see clearly how John and John and Mike play their instruments but with Jordan was not so easy. The screen design with all its patterns, specially the piano one, makes the difference now, not only we can see the keys played but also we can see them now much clear than the bass and the guitar and it brings lot of attention to watch it, is like to have a close camera on the hands of Petrucci but for the Keyboard, and its size is also great because you can see it very well from anywhere you are. This is for me a huge improvement in live shows performances for Jordan, therefore it adds lot of value to DT.

[@christopherharv]

The way they don't use a click now and Portnoy uses that pad to count for the band is so cool.

[@wian7415]

This video is precious 😊

Awesome video! I was wondering if they were gonna do another stage tour for this show. I also have a wrap on my Kronos Keyboard from Jordan’s company! It’s so badass and ups the cool factor of the Kronos. Loved the monster kit of MP too! Gonna see the boys in February! 🤘🏻

I suppose it's awesome the guy just seems like the best friend you've instantly got a long with since the day you met. Great job to everyone behind the scenes making things go well every night for the band. Real pros here for sure.
