Dream Theater - Live in Köln, DE (23rd Oct 24)

[@mmd4315]

I grew up in Kings Park and used to catch Petrucci and Myung jamming in other kids basements once in awhile. Cool watching them 40 years later on you-tube in my living room. Crazy.

[@guitarvirtuo]

Congrats to the camera man! ;) Best steady, clear, close filming I've seen in a long time during a Live show! 😆

[@JosephStevensonMusic]

*FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE ORCHESTRAL OVERTURE AT THE START OF THE SECOND SET* it was composed and produced by me (Joseph Stevenson) and supervised by the band. Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all the kind words about it so far so far, so so lovely to see such positive reactions to it! You guys are just the best ❤️❤️

[@metalreporterjuso]

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Any other metal band you worked with?

[@ofenblase3713]

I know you and some Music from Prog Rock Dock. Thanks for your Music!

[@DaremAq]

@@metalreporterjuso He has a killer project called Star Systems

[@2vLucas]

I am a BIG fan of Mangini, he is hands down one of the most technical drummers on the planet and I think DT did him dirty, but I gotta admit that the vibes are completely different with Portnoy, he is a showman. Very charismatic.

[@Gevoltful]

LaBrie is a bigger problem .But they "raped" him from the very start , trying to put him on shoes of vocalists like Midnight, Tate and so on... He's never had enough power to be a true metal vocalist .

[@2vLucas]

@@Gevoltful I cant speak on the history bc i literally started listening to DT like 5 years ago. I’ve been to their concert and it’s absolutely AWFUL to listen to LaBrie, I heard that all of them have him muted on their in ears.

[@aralfit5662]

Magnini es muy mecánico tocando No expresa nada Y el problema ahora es el vocalista

[@Gevoltful]

​@@2vLucasThey don't need to hear him out of tune ,it's a pressure for every musician .At least the instrumental section is always great . :)

Mangini is 🥱🥱🥱 kind of drummer

[@p4cbassman]

Thanks for sharing…no complaints here! Everyone sounds awesome!

I always enjoy Portnoy's creative improvisation. I didn’t watch DT more since Portnoy left. Now the status quo is back. Really enjoying his playing. Welcome back Mike!

[@DJT544]

Glad Petrucci still uses his JP series.

[@plamenpenkov2865]

Would be hard to sell your sig guitars if you're not playing them...what else could he do, play a Taylor Swift sig?😂😂😂

[@gm5873h]

He meant that because he uses the Majesty for the newer stuff, but i bet he uses the JP for older songs because the sound of the guitar fits the song.​@@plamenpenkov2865

[@KevinB-mo7qe]

@@plamenpenkov2865 cause he has been using his majesty series of guitars over the JP predominantly since they came out

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

I’m sure the Majesty is a great guitar but I’ve always preferred the JP series. Great seeing him use it.

[@gm5873h]

@@Chris_Nouvelli I agree

[@swampscott2670]

Refreshing to see Petrucci with a nice JP15. I still think it’s the best model from his EBMM range.

When James doesn’t force his voice, he sounds fckng amazing

[@doublehook9545]

Agree 100%🤣

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

He's forcing his voice all the time, so you might be right. Sadly, we'll never know

[@juancarlos-dx1or]

His higher range is long lost by now, still i like the tone he gets when he uses his middle range with some rasp.

it's Mike Portnoy doing his Mario impression!

[@carlosruiz-ob7le]

Siempre admirè a Dream Theater instrumentalmente. Son lo màs. Ahora, podrìan prescindir de James en vivo. Es penoso su estadp, lo que es notorio porque las canciones de la banda estàn compuestas para que las cante muy alto, y hace años que no lo puede hacer. Una pena. Todavìa recuerdo los shows con Devin compartiendo voces con James, y era espectacular!

[@johnmccoy5923]

Look at that beautiful Jp15 7 string! I tried to like the Majesty, owned a beautiful one, I just didn’t love it, couldn’t get into it, maybe the neck shape difference and/or semi thru/set neck combo whatever it is. Went back to the OG Jp line. I get that the majesty is cool and it’s his own design but he shouldn’t phase out the Jp’s just for the sake of making his design more popular. It’s actually not the body shape that put me off it’s the neck, it’s slightly different in shape and thickness. His next evolution from the Jp bolt on should have been a neck thru if he wanted a higher fret reach clearance.

[@nomisv.8421]

He did during the Mangini era and was caught, They also tried with backing tracks and James lipsyncing the leads and he was also caught (in a web-site? haha) they stopped it because it looked pretty stetchy and damaged the band's image.
