Dream Theater - Breaking All Illusions [LIVE] [Breaking the Fourth Wall]

[@vgotnofingers]

Literally everyone on this band is like a total master of the instrument.

[@joselohiraldo9220]

They’re masters absolutely!!!

[@giuseppequaresima6420]

This is the idea

[@timbulparuliansilalahi_san1289]

Sangat jenius.

[@vassilisbakalas3423]

Berklee graduate moment

[@dreamteam5996]

Yess..

[@rafakrasicki914]

I just cannot express myself how I appreciate JP's ability to create such beautiful melodies in his solos. I've grown up with this since 1995 when I first listened to Awake.

[@XiyuYang]

Drummers practice to a metronome, metronomes practice to Mike Mangini. What an absolutely phenomenal drummer.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

Xiyu Yang mp is better

[@mikemoore8521]

Oh please with the MP is better comment! Fuck Portnoy! He left! He's out!!! Move on!

[@katatonico75]

Are you joking? Hope you are not serious. Mangini compared to Portnoy is only a poor robot

[@XiyuYang]

@@TrebleForTheBass Anyone who thinks Mike Portnoy is the better drummer between the two knows absolutely nothing about drumming. MP is the better songwriter/producer though, I'll give him that.

[@XiyuYang]

@@katatonico75 MP left, 8 years ago. Suck it up or leave it be.

[@AngeloXification]

Petrucci's tone is just phenomonal

[@nicolem.1028]

9:18 John Myung and John Petrucci communicating telepathically

[@JoJoJonnSinn]

Holy crap that is perfect. He even nods like he received something back from John. HAHA

[@z.s.n.]

Totally dude.

[@nituldas9884]

totally agreeing with this fact😂

[@berkebogaccetin1368]

🤣🤣

[@jimcarey7150]

They are riding the whitewater rapids of music; in the zone. Thanks for pointing this out. I usually listen to audio while on another browser tab. Watching this actually gave me goose bumps.

[@einarthormodster95]

I can't get enough of Mangini's drumming. It's beautiful, melodic, and technical. He is the only drummer that has brought me feelings like that. To me, he is the greatest drummer in the world.

[@danlc95]

Easily.

[@DekkarJr]

The fact the dude has ANOTHER drumset on a scaffolding above his already huge drum set is epic in and of itself. I never imagined anyone could match or even exceed Mike Portnoy. But man. I've NEVER seen the man make a mistake in all the hours ive watched him play DT songs

[@planetcaravan2925]

Hi mike

[@eduardogarcia7259]

in fact bro! I enjoy the 1996 g3 with Mike on drums for Steve Vai!!

[@79HBFerr]

​@@eduardogarcia7259Very good indeed

[@Speedosoundsonic]

What a masterpiece . One of prog's true anthems!

[@guillaumeerard]

Didn't care much for it past the intro on the album but it does take a whole new dimension live.

[@brianr9968]

It really is epic! I must say I wasn’t enthusiastic about the Dramatic Turn of Events album without Portnoy as it seemed to lack the raw aggression and adrenaline tracks that Portnoy contributed to in the past. but I gave it a few more rotations then realized it’s a pretty amazing body of work technically and creatively. and this track is brilliant…hard, edgy then soft and melodic with Petrucci ripping our faces off with an epic solo…but everyone contributed to this track and that’s what makes it so great IMO.

[@SujeetGT]

One of the best guitar solo ever written right there..

[@bretthuey2180]

My favorite album, " A Dramatic Turn of Events ". Spirituality, Charisma, Energy, Inspiring, and the Awareness to BELIEVE in yourself........and not in a God. WE as humans, have the power in our HANDS.........IF we use it correctly. 😉😇

[@barriebland8765]

I just can't stop playing this track. I absolutely love Dream Theatre. So talented

[@aranbrico1005]

[@hugorezende199]

[@amgere2195]

[@highaway8800]

6:09 - 6:42 God this solo just melt my heart. Papa John, you never cease to amaze me...

[@DekkarJr]

It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit for being too technical and solo less, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.

[@birhandenktas]

7:14 to 8:55 is even better. He put all of his talent and soul into..

[@patdufresne6209]

Give that bass player an award. Keeping up with Petrucci, nearly note for note, is just amazing to see.

[@asheemify]

J Myung never looked at anything but his playing. He needs to keep up to Petrucci

[@t3hgir]

since Majesty days I think JP has been keeping up with Myung ;)

[@victor.pavelescu]

This live performance is better than the studio one.

[@saeednazarix]

Definitely:)

[@diogosanches6623]

So far

[@dharshdanube6911]

Most dt songs are like that haha only few bands sound better live than album and definitely dt is one of them which is a good thing

[@KevinLuWX]

Because we can actually hear the drums

[@Ogilla]

@@KevinLuWX It sounds less ''synthetic'' than the studio version, which I appreciate.

[@kevinkilduff2064]

A more talented band does not exist. Each member is at the apex of his instrument's contribution to the musical canon that is progressive rock music. They have extended the reach and challenged the musical boundaries set by prog's greatest bands-Yes, ELP, Rush, Kansas, Genesis, Crimson and Floyd et al. That is no easy chore, yet they have done it with great aplomb and top shelf excellence.

[@rhino11261980]

These five guys are gods at what they do!!

[@matthewgeorge6620]

Petrucci absolutely dominated that solo wow..

[@caine8325]

He's not from this world.... Such a feelings....

[@DekkarJr]

It's beautiful. JP gets a lot of shit in some parts of the guitar community for being too technical and soulless, but solo's like this are so well written and passionate. This one ranks right up with the Hollow Years @ Budokan solo for me. It's so full of emotion.

[@AhmadJumul]

Technical yet soulful,the build up is amazing,from slow to shredding

[@axeljsk1281]

What a great performance ! Live version is even better .

[@tanchokdewan9020]

Here is the world class band playing.........jaw dropping performance as always? No more words

[@billykos7775]

This is my favorite song of all time. Absolutely flawless

[@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy]

There is Dream Theater and there's everybody else....fucking amazing. I am 66 and you don't get this many great musicians in the same band very often. Unreal....

[@almightyhotdoglady5383]

I'm super happy you can dig these dudes at 66. Do me a favor and NEVER listen to the comments on KZbin if you start to listen to them. Their internet fans are as toxic as the Star Wars memesters. Keep rockin'.

[@DekkarJr]

Porcupine Tree, Opeth and Dream Theater are the only 3 bands that give me these feels of such great complex writing. while also being beautiful

[@docvic17]

Dream Theater, is the best of the best!! Magnificent song and masterfully performed by one of the best metal singers of all time: the great James "the Pirate" LaBrie, great work Cap. !! 🎼🎙✌️🤘DT 4EVER

[@fgr6723]

this guitar solo is amazing!

[@btcbstrdsfbtch463]

I couldn't agree more!

[@DekkarJr]

It's one of his more passionate solos imo. Its up there with the Hollow Years at Budokan solo.

[@svogender]

Together with At Wit's End and Pale Blue Dot now!

[@phlebas80]

equilibrio perfetto fra tecnica e melodia, virtuosismo e pathos

[@matheusfernandes5690]

I would say that At Wit's End is great as this one... but could be more like an Epic.

[@chopzmasta07]

I remember when they played this in Sydney at Big Top, Luna Park... the crowd absolutely errupted when they started this song. Then there was this sense of unexplainable energy in the building. Everyone was just mesmerised by it. It's like they hypnotised us all with this. I'll never forget it.

As a relatively new follower of DT, I'm not sure if I might be lucky enough to not have to delve into the MP v MM debate 🙂 I saw DT in London UK in February '20 (having accessed D. O. T and worked back over previous albums) and I had a great time. I like music that tells story, paints a picture, conveys a positive message or takes you places. Thank you Dream Theater, Rush and Deep Purple for giving me those elements between you over 45 years 🙂
