LaBrie nailed this whole concert, who saw the DVD, knows it.

[@ryanslater674]

He absolutely did and also was absolutely amazing on breaking the fourth wall. Who ever thinks my man labrie cant sing can suck a fat cock

[@hagicocompany]

@@ryanslater674 James cannot be replaced. His voice is unique making DT unique.

[@RyoCanCan]

I just have to say, the drums on the new albums are great. I just don't know why people hate on Mangini, he is pretty damn good. OfC I like Portnoy more myself, but I have nothing to hate about Mangini.

[@GeneralWarburg]

People always whine about change. I generally prefer to ignore them and just enjoy the music.

[@MrNostalgiaX]

Exactly, there's always a group of people who bitches about change. The replacement can rock even better than Portnoy and still, die hard fans of Portnoy would take trash. To me they're stupid. Just cuz we like Mangini doesn't mean we don't like Portnoy. I love Portnoy. Mangini is filling his shoes pretty well though. Just sayin....

[@JoaoSantos-ho3db]

I wonder why do some people hate Mangini, I like Portnoy myself but I don't have nothing to hate on Mangini

[@MasterJediDude]

Mangini is all class and he's a talented drummer. Portnoy was just a punk and I'm glad he's gone from DT. Also, he couldn't sing worth a crap. And he ALWAYS tried to sing backup vocals on live performances and he was terribly out of tune.

[@Kaziriasatalve.]

RyoCanCan mangini is also a tremendous drummer, even in some extent he's technically even better than portnoy, but portnoy had a pretty remarkable sound, he knows best how to play with DT...... i mean portnoy suites with DT sound much more!

[@yung_Blindy]

Everyone who dislike Mangini, all you need feel the difference between rock-star and extremely professional musician. Both of them is very good guys, and both of them is top musician, but MP love make the show and MM doing his lovely work. That's all.

[@lloydslichenmyer]

2:07 Mangini following stack groove to Rudess's keys while keeping original kick pattern 🔥

[@gestalt7756]

Similar techniques he used in illumination theory

[@sergiozdrums]

Mangini is a machine!!!!!!!!!!! unbelievable drummer!

[@lolpawnage]

James Labrie is one of those rare singers who get even better with age... Impressive.

[@rockhouse90]

absolutely. i always get skeptical whenever a band who has been around for a very long time puts out a new record cuz im always questioning "hows the vocals gonna be?" or "are these guys really gonna be able to do something innovative here?" i get blown away when these artists and bands who have been around for 25-30-40 years put out records and theyre the best work theyve done. i didnt think that at first with the new self titled dream theater record. i literally my first impression of that album was "damnit.....its a dramatic turn of events tuned way low" but after several listens it is hands down my fav DT record

[@Dinozzo1995]

lolpawnage what kind of absurd joke is that 😂🤣 he sounds more horrible by the year ever since like 1995

@@Dinozzo1995 Saw him twice n at 2015 he where a God. ALmost 3:30 of an incredible Gig. James is a God.

[@almightyhotdoglady5383]

Ben Gombl I dunno what you mean, I saw them last year after they took a year long hiatus and he sounded PHENOMENAL! Sure, he’s had his bad moments but WHO HASN’T? I’m a tenor singer myself and I prefer recording in the studio, I have my good and bad moments too. Hell, last time I saw Judas Priest, Rob Halford sounded amazing but had some pretty spotty moments. But good lord, I’d like to see half of these negative Nancys singing at least 1% of the shit LaBrie and Halford have to sing. Two of my favorite singers!

[@zeal6742]

Dude, James is singing killer these days

[@net537]

I met mike mangini in my country 4 years ago in a drum clinic he is an awesome drummer and such a nice person, I was very glad the day I noticed that he became in dream theaters new drummer :)

[@ejRecording]

love that ending vocal!

[@VulgrimOfficial]

05:40 "Selfless are the righteou-ooo" love this part. Wished it were on the album version❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dandunning5602]

This is the best live show DVD I have ever seen! James' voice is sensational, the two Johns' guitar/bass playing is absolutely flawless, likewise with Jordan's playing and Mike is definitely at home with these guys - and was definitely the right choice to replace Portnoy!

[@Blade658]

It's so gosh darn impressive too considering that Myung was getting over the flu and had an ear infection for this concert!

[@synysterburns91]

Man, Labrie sounds great!

[@Hack3r91]

Yeah he's back to his former self apparently!

[@blindside315]

Portnoy and Mangini they're both play awesome, portnoy hit powerful, accent sound, energic while mangini so technical, melodious and dark sound, both are my favorite drummer ever..

LaBrie's vocals are on point in this performance. Sounds almost identical to the studio version.

[@Mr.M1STER]

I wish they would put the camera on John Myung more.

[@Mr.M1STER]

Possibly. I would like to see him more in live videos though he is a master and an essential part of DT so I hate to see him fade into the background.

I agree....what the F**** has has happened to music? Rap and all the other crap on the radio have lost feeling. Rap is NOT music.

And God bless you all that get it. Ill shut up now!

Absolutely agree with you. At least with this music, you can close your eyes and go on a journey. That's something pop/rap music can't do, because it's repetitive, talentless trash.

16 cameras, no john myung. What is actually wrong with these people?

[@bluemoth7272]

John Myung probably requests less camera time.....he's peculiar in certain ways. If I had to guess the reason, that would be it.

[@TheSchoolDestructer]

It's because they know John would come for them in their sleep with a tight bass string if they dared break his zen with their annoying pleb cams.

[@WolfHead0207]

no matter how good he is... he is just a bass player

Verdaderamente arrollador. Magnífico. Amazing !!!

[@manifestgtr]

I feel like getting to know johnny myung would be one of the cooler parts of being mike mangini right about now...I mean as a drummer in a band like this, you HAVE to be on an almost a personal level with your bassist playing wise...I have to believe that working with john myung in rehearsals is probably pretty awesome...he's a known task master when it comes to his own playing and he's very laid back (obviously) from most accounts...that all adds up to a great rehearsing situation

Honestly Jordan doesn't sound that buried. I can clearly hear everything he's doing.. no more buried than any of their other DVDs or studio releases. People complained a lot about the theater but perhaps things are clearer with good studio headphones. I agree that the mix sounds a little too clinical but it's still cool sounding, and the performances are impeccable of course (even LaBrie). Very excited for this DVD!

HOLY SHIT JLB!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@VikramShankarMusic]

I know it's a friendship thing, but also the circumstances were different. In MP's case, it was being tired of the band, but in NP's case, it was the devastating and tragic loss of close family members. I think if MP's wife and daughter died, the band would have a lot more respect for "let's take some time off."

[@MSPD135]

Mike Mangini is an absolute monster behind the drums. In no way could you ever compare and determine who is better between Portnoy and Mangini. However, watching this video my heart is with Portnoy. It's so hard to see someone else behind the kit and Portnoy seemed to bring a lot more energy than Mangini. Maybe it's just this particular performance but I'd rather see Portnoy.

[@NerismaStudios]

The thing with Mangini is that it's always the music first, and how can he best serve the music (believe it or not, for how massive his kit is, every single piece is it was strictly chosen for a musical purpose). Showmanship easily takes a back-seat with Mangini (plus, he was classically trained: showing off is not in that world at all). Portnoy is in no way comparable to Mangini when it comes to who is a more developed and diverse drummer, musically. But you are right: what Portnoy lacks in technical prowess, he makes up for in showmanship. I do think it's good that DT has Mangini as their drummer now (even though I think it should have been Marco Minnemann), but Portnoy will always be known for DT.

[@MSPD135]

Michael Scott I agree. Mangini is a very precise drummer. Every piece on his kit is strategically placed. Minnemann is a great drummer as well and that was my favorite pick out of the drummers that tried out. DT lacks so much in there live performance but makes up for it musically. Being a musician for 14 years their pieces are extremely difficult to UNDERSTAND. It's not so much hard to play but understanding musically what's going on is the key. Again, when watching DT live I'd rather see Portnoy just because of the live performance aspect of it. They both produce great records.

[@NerismaStudios]

MSPD135 And truly, to be able to play any music well, it takes understanding what's going on to portray it the best, to serve the music justice. Mangini knew that the best going into the audition. Minnemann has the best improvisational ear (seriously, no one else did what he did on the third part of the audition, where he just listened to the riff and then played a groove right back). Minnemann is really the perfect fit for DT: he has both the technical prowess and the shownamship. But then again, he is not Mike Portnoy.

[@NerismaStudios]

... I think the #1 reason that Portnoy is a major turn-off for me, and why, though he was the spirit of Dream Theater, he wasn't the best drummer musically, can be heard on the track "Wither." A beautiful, powerful ballad... and Portnoy just kills the entire vibe with too much... Yes, he can do all that stuff, but he proved himself as a drummer, but not as a musician, on that track. That's why I'm not as into Portnoy as I am Minnemann or Mangini. But Portnoy is still great.
