Dream Theater - Pull Me Under (Live At Luna Park)

[@colinmackinnon696]

The fact that LaBrie can sound this awesome despite rupturing his vocal cords at one time should earn him some fucking respect around here!

[@CouncilofOneElectronic]

One of the most flawless vocalists out there, espeicially live. His voice is simply on another level.

[@weefek]

he had a rough decade or so but he's definitely back. The astonishing album showcases his incredible abilities.

[@robertnagel3972]

Steve Walsh of Kansas had his voice fail and it took some time to where he could sing again. Of course his was never quite the same.

[@joshedwardsOTR]

This is heavily autotuned

[@redgrengrumbholdt2671]

Nowadays though.. jesus it's bad

[@NegativeReaper]

Best performance of Pull Me Under by LaBrie in a LONG FREAKING TIME! Hell, everyone his fantastic! Best recording of it since Live at the Marquee. Seriously though, LaBrie is on his A game!

[@Pagansunset]

An amazing performance by the whole band! Labrie nailed this one, I just think that he doesn't need that harsh tone that much. I love his clean singing! (:

[@baileyschultz8749]

I reckon in this context the harsher tone works, I personally think he should use it if he struggles in the “Watch the Sparrow” section

[@angelanbrentenlowndavis2949]

He did rupture his vocal cords and is amazing he sounds this good...

[@realhighendglassforsale5226]

I must not be the only one who listens to this song at least once a week, maybe twice and sometimes three times... It just never get old.

[@muteness]

Listened to this song in 1996 and today (2024)

[@timmehjj]

For LaBrie to be singing PMU as the last song of the night, and hitting all those notes still (fairly well), I thought it was the opener! Can't really knock him can you?

[@gonzalocobiangrayson1286]

James's voice sounds like in the "Awake" album!!! It's great!

[@DianaRinGore]

What happened to LaBrie? His voice got so much better..

[@ShawnKenneth]

Some of Petrucci's solos make me cry. This is one of them.

[@Lokrion]

It's amazing how Mangini plays so precise and true to the original recording. Impeccable!

[@sebrura]

Nah. Boring drumming. No soul like MP.

[@rjm_17]

[@sirspongadoodle]

i prefer mp but thats just me

[@CarlosRBAzevedo]

James sounds amazing in this song and I don't say that based on the high notes. I say that based on his level of control and revigorated energy on stage. He's always been an amazing vocalist and shows his full potential in this one.

[@ljcruz4466]

I love the Dream Theater more. Since 2009, I always listening their songs from 1992 up to the latest! I love their music!

[@Gabriel_LlG]

They played it very percussively and angrily this time. I am glad to hear this song be played differently.

[@jamtrax3938]

What a voice, probably the best live version I've heard

[@GantzStoltz]

so sad, 10 years made its work (

[@JohnsJustSaiyan]

Jesus Christ labrie is better than he was all those years ago. He's got his growl back AND THAT VIBRATO COULD MOVE OCEANS.

[@jamiemacmillan4056]

he did very well with this song but if you watch the video of him perform metropolis in the same concert he doesn't do as well

[@rockyhenz3607]

You mean, God forbid...he's not perfect; or sound just like the studio version. Please...have a try at doing vocals for DT, night after night...year after year, and let's rate YOUR ability

[@billyreynolds4749]

+Юрий Plate - No! Jesus Christ did not sing that night! James LaBrie did! Maybe you saw a show that we didn't!!!

[@hammarn]

Nowadays he is useless for some reason, no one knows what happend...

[@raminsharifi7905]

His voice is really fucking annoying. Ruins the otherwise good song.

[@pratyaychatterjee7055]

"Pull Me Under" Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me and Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow Then some other day I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside of me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is set it right Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Oh that this too Too solid flesh Would melt

My fucking god I need to go to a DT show.

[@GlitchySheepGaming]

I'm seeing them on May Day in Minnesota!!!

[@pbmdh]

GlitchySheepGaming I live in MN as well! Where are they playing?

[@GlitchySheepGaming]

+pbmdh The State Theater. There are still tickets available!

[@rockyhenz3607]

It is an experience you'll never forget...they are the best. I have known them personally since the Majesty days with Charlie Dominici...Their journey is quite extraordinary

[@tylerbailey9329]

Well I'm going to see Shattered Fortress this November with the added unbelievable pleasure of meeting Mike Portnoy himself, so I guess that's the best substitute imaginable, LOL!

[@istvangyal85]

I am usually not a great fan of Labrie's live singing but this one was absolutely stunning. So much energy still after all these years!

[@combatarmsownage666]

They still got it! Running since '92 with this song and never changes! Forever a classic

[@bryanrobbins9263]

That's one of my favorite & the greatest song from them.

[@novarob]

I think his voice holds up very well!

[@Leonardogfa]

Sound quality is simply unbelievable. Awesome work!

[@1984crimson]

Song has never ceased to give me chills.

[@PoissonedApple1]

Almost Cried!!!! Best live show!!! Amazing is not enough

[@Topher19801413]

john p. tone is KILLER here!!!!

[@alainvmusic]

Wow JLB sounds really good here! Wish he sound like this at every show 😢

[@SDFprowler]

2:48 - Petrucci is really feelin' the Mangini vibes.

[@wolflover968alphamale8]

We had such good rock and metal back then. You know you're an musical icon when you can still pull it off now, just as good as you first did. Not enough of this kind of rock/metal anymore. :

[@cemtezcan]

3:02 Labrie nails it!

[@arrackattack]

man Mangini is playing it like in the album, amazing !

[@DaniPooo]

Hey Dream Theater! I have been a fan of you guys for years, and I really want to thank you. You have opened my eyes, made me see a widen panoramic picture. I love your progressive side, but I also love the pop side, Those soft and emotional moments in the music. As both a vocalist and a composer I feel honored to have had the chance to learn from you guys. So glad that you live in my lifetime and not in a thousand years from now! Keep rocking and please never let me down

[@IdoWolf]

You could argue they made you see... *puts on glasses* The Bigger Picture.

[@jalesvevayudhawastu6851]

Am I the only one who replay this song just to see how Jordan Rudess knocks off the keyboard? Hahaha

[@sergiopalos5378]

The Voice of Labrie it Sounds Better like Super hydrated and Rich!GreaT Love You Dream theater!

[@LuxKCSolarisOfficial]

Is it just me, or is James REAAAALLY improving his live performance, voice-wise?

[@en5788]

Heavy metal with keyboards! Great live performance!

[@mario1979full]

gracias!!!! Dream por esta alegria de grabar el dvd en mi pais. los admiro mucho...son mi banda preferida.

[@metallicatlaura5408]

The singing/sound/all the instruments SOUND AWESOME 👍..everything's right on cue..hard to pull off live sometimes!

[@0Fyrebrand0]

That moment when I thought James LaBrie pulled out a straight-up Ash Ketchum style Pokémon hat for no reason.

[@CaptainBlaine]

I just had to comment that I love the profile pic! Best game in the FF series, IMO

[@pbtambunan]

Oh my God...that LaBrie's vocal....I admire so much...

[@Lindy_Enalya]

7:16 fack yea Love both the old version and this new fresh one!

[@thunderdrummerdude]

I still have great respect for Mike Portnoy. The legacy that Mike Portnoy left in Dream Theater can never be replaced. Mike Portnoy left the band for reasons only know to him. Mike Mangini is in the drivers seat now so to speak. I wish Mike Portnoy all the best with his new band “Son’s of Apollo”.

[@Cosme_Vidro]

Jordan is a monster

[@jalesvevayudhawastu6851]

You need to see how he knocks the keyboard, so beautiful!

[@Obelisktheknight]

They look they're having so much fun! And LaBrie sounds like a slightly more matured version of his early 90's self, which is awesome.

[@bradygraham5126]

am I the only one who replays just to hear James Labrie nail the watch the sparrow falling part lol

[@user-ms7oi6do1l]

what a band man mesmising talent and so natural the timing they have althought its all timings love em xx

[@Nickolaars]

Can't wait to get my dvd in! Love the way it looks and sounds. Mangini is awesome in this. And I think the entire band haven't been this good for a looong while. Don't wanna rant but I also absolutely do not miss MP's naggy backing vocals. Anyways, haven't been excited like this 'boot DT since Scenes.. Awesome stuff!!

[@gammal586]

Not generally a fan of this genre but this song is amazing. And a great performance too. Heard it first almost 30 years ago as a young teenager and loved it ever since.

[@calmrelaxingasmr6918]

the keyboard player impressed me the most

[@PLATOON72]

This is for sure the best version of PMU.

[@ljcruz4466]

I still choose the 2008 version (the version they featured in Guitar Hero: World Tour) and the original version but this version is really great!

[@Ledones]

Oh yeah!

[@reactions4u438]

Man, seeing how well he performs this song, then seeing labrie completely unable to hit the high parts 7 years later is sad

[@stevenhulbert7540]

Didn't know about the band til I saw Meytal do a drum cover and loved the chords on the guitar and the keyboards intertwining and just got hooked, great song!

[@benmaccles6466]

Damn LaBrie, your voice sounds like your early years again!

[@larrysnipes7113]

Jordan Rudes, chopping those keys! Petrruci on lead guitar Myung on bass LaBrie lead vocals Mangini on drums Dream Theater!

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

Jordan Rudess should change his last name to Rudimentary Badass

You are right ajmaroudas. You can't argue with tallent.

I love ❤️ DT all together I do miss port but love ❤️ magini as well perfect fit + that kit is monstrous!!!!

Who’s looking forward to the new liquid tension experiment album

[@mab_net4742]

Jordan Rudeass

[@MichaelStavrakakis]

I totally agree with you!

[@dp-yv9gz]

Mangini really brings a whole new element to Dream Theater. He really drives the music like Peart drives Rush, as opposed to just going through the motions.

[@nightshadow848]

No he doesn't and how dare you disrespect Neil Peart like that. Christ almighty. If anybody comes close to Neil's drumming it's Mike Portnoy. Mangini just simply sucks dude. He's so robotic and lifeless drumming it sounds like generic shit. He always fucks up the Portnoy Era songs I cringe. Dude can't even play 6:00 from Awake properly.

[@GamingDrummer89]

Lol he sounds better here than he has so far this century. If this is the end of the set, I can't wait to hear parts where he's at his best.

[@EugeneKee]

Likes Jordan Rudess wizard's hat!

[@Mr_Facts]

What a masterpiece

[@psalmsc22]

can't feel it anymore..they sounded soft here..unlike the budokan performance and other of their performances with portnoy..its more lively and heavier..mangini is great but..for me nobody can replace portnoy!!

[@VinnyG_Music]

It's not The drummer changing all that. It's the audio production

[@metalhead6777777]

portnoy is nothing compared to mangini

[@bahritkharakor9257]

metalhead6777777 agreed!

[@victorarmitage8146]

+fuNkyou0902 Labrie's vocal delivery wasn't the most impressive here.

[@kaydee8902]

fuNkyou0902 nothing like the Live in New York performance in the early 90's

[@God-mn8by]

its so great to just see some dudes foolin around on stage while it sounds absoluteley freakin awesome

[@SamNaborsDrums]

Overall I like Mangini better than Portnoy but I have to say Portnoy owns this song live and really makes it better than the studio version...Mangini is just doing the studio version note for note and it's kind of boring.

[@epifaniocortez]

MM respect MP, and doesnt want to add more because of toxic fans comparing them

[@ddr8884]

long live for dream theater,,love you so much

[@StiFl3r777]

They decidedly miss Mike Portnoy... Mangini is fast but is not him... the song seems the sweet version of the original... and this sound is not the Dream Theater sound... sad but so true...

[@wierderthanwierd]

You could say the same about Rudess. Kevin Moore was the present Keyboardist during Images and Words album.

[@arifinjoko4497]

Yeah it's different person man, it cannot be the same.

[@99WTD]

Thank you, spot on Rudess comment. I love the guy, but in "The Spirit Carries On" auditions, Jordan writes off 2 drummers for adding their own flavor, and he changes Kevin's and Derek's parts constantly. Drives me crazy.

[@DavidsonPaivaBass]

What a dead crowd. This DVD should have been recorded in Brazil to everyone see the best crowd of the world.

[@mbumpp]

Wow amazing

[@wirawhyra]

i'm not gonna say mangini is bad, but i love portnoy's style more :|

[@EmanuelEstradaYarce]

Love the wizard hat!

[@AhmadYassergazzar]

i think you're missing part of your soul. it's good don't get me wrong, but it's just portnoy who happens to have lots charisma.

[@dawsonadams9612]

Honestly, who could dislike this? This probably their best performance of PMU yet.

[@lapirata77]

Are there more women at a DT show or Rush concert?

[@TheSiscoKid2112]

+lapirata77 Rush. DT is a total sausage fest.

[@fernandosaraiva6121]

Não sou fã da banda, mas esse som eu tenho que dar os devidos créditos... perfeito!! 🔥

[@rhettgonzales]

They sound much better when Mangini came to the DT Realm....

[@reconsquadclan8842]

Nothing to be with Mangini. LaBrie sings better now because his vocal chords are now cured. Except for, he doesn't, for example, at 2:07, you can't even hear the note difference at "sky", because of that ridiculous "rasp" he added.

[@Bordercadu]

This band is perfect with both drummers. I love Mangini, he is perfect. And Portnoy is a legend

[@Drummer1981]

Dream Theater got a hell of a lot better since hiring mangini.

[@THEREV468]

he has his bad moments and his good, his vocals for the 20th anniversery dvd his vocals were amzing for that concert

[@ahmedakifrahman]

The mixing is not done very well cuz can't hear the kick drums smoothly :(

[@MSA]

glad the kicks dont sound like axes here, but like bass drums as they should

[@Dinozzo1995]

You're saying it's impossible to have good kick drum sound if it's not triggered? Because that's nonsense. I too think it's the mixing. The whole band sounds mellow and too soft here.

[@NickelFirepowerNico]

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!! Total Thanks Dream Theater!!!

[@wunchau5148]

compare with portnoy: Mike Portnoy - "Pull Me Under (In Constant Motion DVD)"

[@Behemoth66]

Portnoy is dearly missed

[@jani0077]

Portnoy's technique sounds more natural, but I think that Mangini is the same level, and playing with a band for more than 20 years makes a big difference

[@ahawk1968]

Mango I is an awesome technical drummer, I think he fills the spot perfectly and he made it his own BUT portnoy has a SOUL a groove that I don't feel with magini

[@jayadyrumengan6315]

Mangini still better...

[@cyjazz]

Mike was flawless!!

[@gunnarcoston]

Mike m is way freakin better than mike p. mike m fits in the band more. I THINK

[@billyreynolds4749]

I agree!! I've followed this band since the beginning, and I'm a BIG fan of Mike Mangini! I like Portnoy...but love Mangini!

[@ljcruz4466]

Me too. I feel the same.
