Dream Theater - Dance Of Eternity FIRST REACTION

[@dominich.9745]

I must say that I love the fact that you added written commentary instead of pausing the video every 30 seconds.This is how reaction videos should be done.

Thank you!

Totally agree!!! That way we Can have the trip together.. its been like 10 years I havent hear this track and I cried now! Thank you

i hate it when the charismatic voice pauses it like 30 times in a 5 minutes song, really hate it! but i'm enjoying this reviews!

Yes please more Dream Theater. They’re living legends. Next time breaking all illusions by Dream Theater live at Boston Opera House

[@alanalanis2257]

You'll love The Count of Tuscany and Octavarium by Dream Theater. These are not just epics. They are beyond epics that will take you on an out of body experience/journey.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

I saw them earlier this year and Count Of Tuscany was their encore song… what a performance too.

[@samuelflores2926]

I second Count of Tuscany. Also Illumination Theory!

[@Thi0209]

I agree with both recommendations, I would highly recommend the whole scenes from a memory album (which includes Dance of Eternity).

[@vincesherman8671]

I'm with everybody on this comment. Those songs blow me away every time

[@Dimonina]

Count of Tuscany is really one of the best songs ever for me

[@scifimonkey3]

They are the E.L.P of the 2000s, and this shows off to the max their instrumental virtuosity but like ELP they also have some amazing storytelling ballads like ‘The count of Tuscany’ that you should listen to.

[@wjadragon6782]

108 time changes is insane, great reaction and I will also suggest Breaking all illusions.

[@porfiriodev]

Breaking all ilusions, hells kitchen+lines in the sand and trial of tears!

[@gregorykenfield3134]

This is without a doubt my favorite band of all time, and in my opinion also the greatest. NO ONE can outplay these guys! Their music has literally changed how I look at music, both as a fan and as a musician myself. This particular song is basically the benchmark for intricate instrumentals, with time signature changes virtually every measure or two (with most of the musical elements never being repeated). However, as great as this song is, it is literally just a brief musical interlude in the middle of what I consider the greatest concept album of all time, "Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory." All of Dream Theater's songs are epic, but there are a group of songs that are considered by their fans as TRUE epic masterpieces...most of these songs are rather long (to most non-progressive music fans), and are usually the showpiece songs on whatever album they were recorded for. My personal favorite is a song called "The Count of Tuscany" (which is also my favorite song of all time), but other examples include "A Change of Seasons," "Octavarium," "Illumination Theory," "In The Presence of Enemies Parts 1 and 2," and "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence." If you would prefer to get your feet wet with a few shorter songs, I'd recommend "Pull Me Under," "Take the Time," "Under a Glass Moon," "Lie," "The Dark Eternal Night," or "Forsaken." All of these songs will also give you the chance to experience the remaining member of Dream Theater...vocalist James LaBrie. Thank you for checking out my favorite band! I'm glad you enjoyed them, and I hope you will react to more of their music in the future. God bless!!

[@conejinevil1]

Without doubt one of my fav songs is "The Count of Tuscany", the last track of the album Black Clouds, and the last album with Mike Portnoy that was one of the most creative members in the band. Miss him a lot in DT.

[@porfiriodev]

We all do... mangini is fine but portnoy is a legend

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

@@porfiriodev I'm fine with Mangini over Portnoy. Portnoy has 283 bands so we get more of him with him out of the band.

[@johnbarrett4846]

I bought their first album in 1989 and the musicianship blew me away. I was also at their first Scottish concert in 1993 and wow...these guys could play. Still a fan in 2022, what a journey. Oh and i'm posting this before i even watch your reaction.

[@dilsonnovais5006]

you need to hear the song "The Best of Times" and all the context that surrounds it. One of the most emotional songs I've ever heard in my entire life.

[@MrHolven2012]

Hi! I just watched your Dream Theater video. It was my first experience with them. No idea why I think I've ever heard them before, but YES, YES, YES, I will listen to much more. Oh, and I liked your style so I smashed the subscribe button.

[@richspicer7818]

I have been following them for the past year or so and I believe they are incredibly talented, they know and understand music and the way the write their songs with so many time changes it really captures your attention. In my humble opinion they are the very best at what they do.

[@DunklerKutscher]

Yeah, more Dream Theater would be great. There's only one thing i would suggest: pick a live version! You will find beauty and interesting stuff in all of their songs (and they cover a wide range of different styles and musical complexity), but seeing the Band performing it live with their incredible skills makes the whole, already amazing experience even more fantastic. Keep on rocking, thanks for sharing, cheers.

[@alanalanis2257]

You should also react to their earlier live version of this song with the original drummer Mike Portnoy. It's from their live in New York show called Metropolis 2000.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

Everything is better with Portnoy ... saw them 10 times with him, and 2 weeks ago was the 8th time with Mangini. Both are great drummers, but watching MP live was always fun, his input into the band was extreme, especially for the fans writing different setlists during a tour just not to repeat the same songs. Nowadays they have 1 setlist and play it throughout the tour. Mangini is just a machine behind the kit, no interaction with the crowd ... the sad thing about DT is that James is getting weaker and weaker and we really thought about going again, but after 2 years of corona, I think 2023 will be the year with as many as possible concerts, at least 1 per month, maybe 2 🤘

[@randyhenderson6166]

I LOVE Mike Mangini. The best replacement for Portnoy, IMO. But........the Dance of Eternity has a different feel with Portnoy. It is hard to explain, but Portnoy just makes it better.

[@fs6086]

[@garrethikes]

they are for sure futuristic sounding! octavarium, illumination theory, and count of Tuscany are quite amazing ones to check out.

It’s hard to pick a favorite dream Theater song. I love so many of them. I suggest Pull me under. It’s on images and words which is basically dream theater’s first album which was 30 years ago. It’s their first single they got played on the radio and one of the only ones that ever was but it’s amazing

[@drdave8607]

And I forgot: If you liked that, check out "Instrumedley". If that's not self-explanatory, it's a medley of most/all of their instrumentals they played live a while back. Usually that's the one people recommend for first-time reaction videos.

[@t3hgir]

I was at this show lol, incredible experience. Cool genuine reaction!!

[@leslielembke5759]

My name is Leslie and I am a drummer. I have been listening to to their music since the 80's. In the 90's. I met the band and had a chance to chat with the singer and original drummer Mike Portnoy. I stongly suggest listing to their titled song " The Great Debate ". Your ears will thank you for it. Thanks for your channel and good work, take care.

[@Zitronenparty]

If you don't know them yet, I would love to hear your thoughts about "Opeth" :) Start with the studio version of "Ghost of Perdition" and after that "Faith in others" and maybe they'll catch you too! :D

[@zionhilado9715]

i really love your reaction! welcome to the world of DT!

[@benjammin1001]

It's also important to listen to this whole album -- as there's some context in how it flows through the album to this song to the end.

[@ThePoorBoy]

Love that so many people are still discovering Dream Theater! There's never been a band quite like them, and they're still putting out great progressive music to this day! (But I do think that their best work was in the '90s, of which this piece of instrumental genius was released.) And yes -- I too get goosebumps from that final section. It's just so distinctively Dream Theater -- epic, experimental, futuristic. They have more than earned their place as one of the greatest prog bands in history. In many ways, they remain peerless...

[@yeri_pratama]

I strongly recomend to anyone to take a look to the Dream Theater live at Budokan. It is extremely well recorded, both sound and video and you can see all the "vulgar display of power" and virtuosism that they have, and is also a very rich and delicious collection of songs, and includes the "Instrumedley" which is just astonishing. Congrats for this discover Sabina!!! Enjoy DT. Cheers

[@CoffeeMatt10]

I saw Dream Theater on their last 2 tours, the first of those (2020) was a 3 hour show which they played an hour in support of their at the time new album, and then the last 2 hours they played Metropolis pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, which Dance Of Eternity is from, in full as part of a 20th anniversary celebration. The second time I saw them (this year) was in support of their latest album, A View From The Top Of The World. The title track is 20 minutes long. They also played The Count Of Tuscany as their encore song (also clocks in around 20 minutes). This is a highly recommended next song to check out from Dream Theater. Guitarist John Petrucci wrote it after a visit to Tuscany where he met a random person that took him on a guided tour of an estate and told stories of the heritage of the land, he started thinking he was being kidnapped and would never see anyone again, until the man reassured him he was free to leave whenever he wanted.

[@pro_zack90]

It also helps to hear Metropolis. They tie elements of that song into this song.

[@JuanManuel-ee7bu]

[@damianvc31]

I saw them live yesterday, they were pretty incredible, even though LaBrie voice is not what it used to be This is quite a ridiculous instrumental, but more important is that it belongs to a concept album Metropolis Pt. 2, probably their best work

[@riot057]

This is a great one because it takes sections of all the music that came before it on the album and alters it, destroys it, and builds upon it. Kind of like how the beginning of Beethoven's 4th movement from the 9th symphony teases ideas from the previous 3 movements.

Dream Theatre are not your average band..they always go the extra mile for the benefit of their fans. This concert/tour is a great example of that. The fourth wall is an imaginary wall that separates the story from reality. The term has its origins in the world of theatre where the three surrounding walls enclose the stage while an invisible ‘4th wall’ is left out for the sake of the viewer…typical DT cryptology. Visually stunning with critical emphasis on production. Sabina…you looked blown away with what is an example of the ultimate live performance. That’s how Dream Theatre leave the audience..blown away. I’ve seen them live and can vouch for that. Great choice Sabina..I loved it.
