Dream Theater (Dreamsonic 2023) - The Spirit Carries On - Newport, KY (Cincinnati), July 9, 2023

[@silversrayliegh5924]

I like how nobody noticed the drummers switching so many times. It was seamless always. What legends!

[@merpinallday]

I went to this show in Los Angeles. I came as a Dream Theater fan, but left as a Devin Townsend fan as well. Dude was amazing and hearing that power on this song was icing on the cake.

[@lingonberriesofwrath1836]

You should check out the video of Devin's rendition of his own song Kingdom at EMGtv (which I'm sure you've already watched and are unable to answer because you're still struggling to pick up your jaw from the floor)

[@FaithsFallen]

I have been having a shit few weeks, this has cheered me right the fuck up! These guys should tour together forever! Devin what a man!

[@iseeu-fp9po]

I hope it will get better soon, (knock on wood).

[@Chest3rTheSquirrel]

man labrie isnt a bad singer but devin next to him feels like the coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb meme

[@runescaper1333]

Get a dude that can sing in tune and he's already better than Labrie

[@danb3559]

I don't buy into AI, but in Labrie's case I fully support real-time AI vocal correction (the new Auto Tune). Come on DT no one will know....

[@Onemanband410899]

This is my favorite comparison comment by far. 😂😂😂😂

[@channelsayangdibuang]

Thats James labre??

[@Eireman_on_Twitch]

Kevin James Labrie has aged badly in his voice. And he has caused so much BS in Dream Theater, I wouldn’t mind seeing him hit retirement. Let the boys (Petrucci, Portnoy, and Myung) run the show again, as it should be. FYI, LONG TIME Dream Theater fan since the first album. I was there for the music, and vocals weren’t key. God, You choose to not let me play like Petrucci, but I get it. (sobbing into my guitar strings) LOL

[@juniorferreiramuriae5100]

that guitar duo at the end was beautiful

[@peterdelf]

So much talent on one stage.

[@mathumphreys]

Well, that brought a huuuuuuuuuuuge smile to my face. So great to see Devin and Tosin with them.

[@gsauce132able]

Devin's vocals are so strong that he comes across as an opera singer.

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Petrucci just has the complete toolkit.. Absolutely blazing proficiency, and the most epic soaring feel.. I'm forever in awe when I see him live (11 times now).

[@harleymitchell1977]

A+ so happy this was shared these two bands performing together is like finding a unicorn what a phenominal performance 😢

[@bobclark7715]

What a show!!! I was blessed to be able to be there that night. AAL was a great opener. Devin Townsend was unbelievable...what an entertainer! And DT was awesome as always!!! 🤘 🤘

[@duncanrathband5492]

So good!

[@fatsuperfly]

Just so epic, love the contrast in the voices. It’s just so good!! Both Labrie and Devin singing together is something I never knew I needed in my life. Wish they do more stuff like this.

[@011and]

I was lucky enough to be there for this and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I appreciate you recording the whole thing so I can relive it!

[@snarehit2230]

Devin fronting DT would be amazing

[@llongone2]

It would be too much power and too much awesome in too small of a space...our planet would implode, causing a massive black hole that would grow and grow and start to reverse the Big Bang.

[@hawnick7234]

I kinda feel bad for James Labrie, he just got sung off the stage by Devy. James's voice seems completely shot at this point.

[@andoletube]

It's a fatal tragedy hearing James these days...

[@Erthspire]

This is incredible.

[@johnmarvaino]

I seen them last night in Phoenix Arizona and they were absolutely awesome

[@zz_plays_guitar]

Loves this band,, Dream theater ..,awesome..yeah..\../

[@faroffgrace5490]

Absolutely adore this version of the song. Unlike some commenters here, I love how James sounds live (saw them in February of this year, in 2020 just before the pandemic, and 2017 before that), but it is really cool to hear Devin sing some of the lines. Very awesome!

[@pikchslail550]

Also saw them in Feb 202 just before the pandemic, I believe that concert and the Sunday one were the last live ones before lockdown.

[@faroffgrace5490]

@@pikchslail550 Yeah, lockdown was kind of a shock to the system. I saw them on their first show in the Eventim Apollo (they played two night so that they had extra footage and audio for Distant Memories). That was the last live experience I had for years. A shame, but tbh it was an excellent show.

[@jonathoncaudill4092]

I thank you profusely for this video. After watching it and missing seeing the show I’ve vowed to see things I want to see whenever possible. Everyone in this is incredible and I’m extremely mad at myself for not seeing this tour live.

[@jsachs]

God I love Devy' scream at the end, it kinda gives another meaning to the song. Fucking amazing

[@sivichkiqt]

this is the new "comfortably numb".. absolutely epic with Devin and Tosin live!

[@antonvanpelt1983]

Amazing grace, into the spirit carries on.. just a perfect combination!

[@andydelga]

ABSOLUTELY EPICCCCCCC! These people bring us some much joy!!

[@tedcabana]

For 30? years, Devin has been singing (screaming) like a fucking GOD with sign of wearing out. You keep going Bro, keep that spirit going!

[@Fraeg]

getting sober has probably really helped with the longevity, he is a fucking beast of a musician, and a class act of a human being.

[@ILikeSkulls666]

This whole show looks like it was so much fun

[@abgz1206]

It’s not all about the nice piece they put together… but the joy they spent with each other it seems .. yes they should’ve done more collab 👏🏾👏🏾👍👍🤘🏾 See you guys together sometime again #staysafe❤

DT is more than a band. It's a family. DT's members gave JlB their support when he got his vocal chords broken, and they still give it to him.

I love how Devin gave his new signature pick to LaBrie and told him to give it to John

[@keithanon]

Impossible to watch without clicking the like button.

[@k.coleman9317]

What a difference it makes to be that much closer to the stage....on the same night we sat right in front of the soundboard techs and all we heard all night was drumset from all three bands...people around us were leaving because the sound was so badly managed.

[@steventurner1628]

Honestly, the last few years dream theatre has not had the best live mix. Their FOH engineer is an old dude and probably has lost hearing. Mix probably sounds great to him but to a young guy like me it was just muddy. Hopefully they get a newer, younger FOH engineer soon and their mix can improve.

[@Rio_1111]

​@@steventurner1628I can attest to that. I saw them in february for the first time, and the mix was actually awful enjoyed it none the less.

[@SharigramaOfficial]

[@czdot]

This is gonna sound mean, but if Devin played with Dream Theater, I would actually listen to Dream Theater. :-D

[@deaj8450]

It doesn't sound mean, just different styles. Personally for me Labrie in the 90s was the absolute perfect singer for DT, but nowadays his talent level is just no where close to the others on stage because his voice is just completely shot.
