Dream Theater - Status Seeker & Only a Matter of Time live w/ original singer Charlie Dominici

Live at S.I.R. Studios, NY in 04/26/1989

RIP Charlie Dominici

[@joelalexander4513]

abso-lutely.

[@MrAndrebatera]

This guy could sing. His voice is fucking as the same as the studio version.

[@afterdarktruestories]

I'm thankful for Dominici. He played his part in making this band a success. He kept their spirit alive when they could have quit and disbanded so easily. Though LaBrie took them to the stars, Dominici found the Majesty symbol, which has since appeared on every DT record.

[@Chorofonfilo]

Charlie had a very special voice and no Labrie's performance singing these songs can touch Charlie's voice brilliance in this record.

[@raulelizalde3171]

Totally agree hunger for more D's footage

[@WEICYCLONE666]

Oh Yes 🫵😎

[@teddygoesfishing]

My two favorite songs of... The Best album ever recorded I can't even describe how much I love the voice of Charlie

[@joaocardoso76]

Best album ever

[@Mmulieres]

Me too

[@cardenas05]

the album is a masterpiece song by song. But I agree with you damm those two are one of my favorites

[@markfinney7387]

This one will always be very special to me (Only A Matter Of Time). Kevin Moore's keyboard playing towards the last part of the song is scintillating rising higher and higher so joyful, triumphant, and glorious!

[@ZackAttack1798]

I honestly feel like Labrie is perfect for them for Images and Words forward... But for WDADU... Dominici couldn't have fit the bill better.

[@maisumcoach8650]

You got it!!

[@NoeliaFernandez]

Siento lo mismo😊

[@wordragon]

The truth is this DT album more than any other album revolutionized proressive metal. It is so progressive that it lead the way for DT itself in future releases and gave them confidence to innovate.

[@CUTIE_POXX]

The audio quality is surprisingly good, despite the few distortions caused by the tape. Thankful we can hear this era of DT outside of their debut album.

[@shauntbarry]

Charlie blows James la Brie away all day.. WDADU is a masterpiece. I got my vinyl of it signed at an Images and Words gig in Wales, UK in about 1992? James signed the back lol! People where like "What the fuck is that album? We thought Images and words was their first" :D

[@kevztunz]

This sounds to me like Journey on steroids. LOVE charlie's voice.

[@carl13220]

Lol ! During that period DT were also pretty close to Rush and Saga.

[@schweiner8610]

2 songs in a style dream theater never quite revisited after Awake. and thats a pity. i feel this is what DT is and was best at rather than their contemporary releases where they try to be darker and heavier.

[@nitaigauranga3849]

Same with Pantera

[@elian958]

If they would have stuck to this style there would be still 12 people attending their shows.

[@88anarahammertime]

dreamy style. their music matched their name.

[@domenicotinelli2754]

@@elian958 not true, the style of Images And Words is the one that took them to succes

[@menswear2112]

Dominici fitted perfectly for that 80’s style of metal. I would have take another album of that style with open arms.

[@MateusCTR]

Hey Charlie thanks for the comment, I always enjoyed WDADU as it is, with your voice and vocal lines (great ones) and nowadays I can't imagine that album without you as the singer. I just can't understand why there are "fans" wich only complain instead enjoy great music.

[@williamshepley3923]

Still my fav DT album. Boy did I wear this cassette out in my chevette. Great times and memories 89

[@msus4791]

my fav dream theather album.

[@tonydemiangomez6101]

Status Seeker muy al estilo RUSH de los 80's ni hablar el estilo de Portnoy semejante a su maestro Neil Peart (rip). Algo de AOR en las melodias y el ritmo en general.. En la segunda cancion. Only a mater of time..es bien al estilo DT...la mejor del disco. Por todo lo que significaba esa epoca de 1989. Definitivamente ese disco fue una gran perla que no pudo trasender por los problemas que tuvieron en ese comienzo con el sello. Me encanta Dominici..un gran cantante.. obiamente lo que vino despues no era para el...tomo el ejemplo del tema Metropolis..no era para el ni tan poco el tema the killing hand..ya mostraba limitaciones. Que la banda ya estaba buscando un Geoff Tate o alguien con el caudal que trajo Labrie.. saludos para todos y todas!!!

[@inkomododragon]

Brilliant performance by Charlie...

[@lambrillionlambrillion5518]

Very very nice, great memories from those years, life without internet just hanging with friends listening to music

[@Giotech__]

Godspeed Charlie ☹

[@them2002]

Unpopular opinion - DT hadn't topped this album to date. Theyve come darn close a few times though.

[@chuckofalltrades]

Portnoy at 7:09! What a great song. LaBrie is great, but Charlie suits this album, and especially this song so well. A top 10-15 DT track for me, and probably my favourite purely because of the vocals. That part where he sings "When dream and day unite"!

[@Andrew-zr1jt]

Fantastic!!

[@germanpenalozamartinez61]

🙌🏻 what a beautiful and amazing pieces of music. It's really incredible how strong could be the influence of Moore composition in Dream Theater. A Matter of time has a lot of awesome keyboard's solos! P.D.: Dominici's voice and the innocence in WDADU made an unforgettable album that maybe today tastes better than in it's time. Like wine 👌🏻

[@Rick-gg3vx]

Imagine having been there live. 50 people seeing the beginning of greatness. Thanks for sharing.

[@franklotito468]

My thoughts exactly! Clap louder people!!!

[@metalstorm7506]

I have always thought that Charlie was the better vocal for Dream Theater than James. I am sorry, but he has the punch, he has the attitude, he has the charisma. I never knew why was he replaced but what’s done it’s done. Truth hurts but he’s simply better. It’s obvious even on this low quality record. Charlie was Superior than James in every single aspect

[@markfit7870]

no disrespect meant and i love Charlie on WDADU but thats ridiculous.

[@joelalexander4513]

iS IT? I mean, honestly. NO ONE knows how far CD could have gone in refining and growing as a singer.@@markfit7870

[@malcolima3663]

Amazing

[@Zakariah1971]

Not sure when Matter of Time ends. Genius.

[@fireinthepentagram]

Thanks for uploading this! Really! I love WDADU. A Total Masterpiece!

[@Mirko-pi1jl]

I LOVE

[@loutiscrive]

Thanks, this is epic!!!!!!!!

[@brucetheking]

Fates Warning meets Rush. Can't ask better.

[@Rushyesgenesis]

It’s crazy how few people were there…

[@williamtorbett8729]

Joya

[@LucaScavolini]

R.I.P. Dominici

[@BenMichalowicz]

Styxkyd Well, there's a show from the Chaos in Motion Tour, on Images and Words' 15th anniversary, Labrie did do the second verse of Take the time, and although some people say it's a little on the falsetto side, i'm still unsure of what it is. That being said, they do the entire album, with that verse. If you know the difference between falsetto and not-so-much-falsetto in this case, let me know. Search up "Dream Theater Images and Words 15th Anniversary"

[@Nickolaars]

Back when Myung still had his rollerblades on.

[@maestrojon]

Hey youtube, where's the tracking adjustment controls?

[@andrewkeats8247]

Too bad Dominici couldn’t stay. He blows LaBrie away live.

[@Styxkyd]

and since that guy says you're a pro at finding bootlegs, do you have a show from 2006 where they do Take the Time? I'm wondering if they do the second verse and if James sings it really well since he was good at that type of mixed voice that year!

[@fabptitpom]

Did they play The killing hand at this live? Do you know where i could find it ?

[@wordragon]

Charlie is awesome. But, he let the end of melodic lines slip. And, I have to wonder if this influenced DT to drop him after a series of concerts. I wished that someone would have said, "Charlie, you are losing energy at the end of lines, if you keep that energy up and hit the notes, you keep your position as singer for an incredible run."

[@sobeto28]

Yo man,since u're pro at finding bootlegs,see if u can find any of Labrie 92 ~ 93 era!

[@Zakariah1971]

That baroque section by Sir Kevin Moore is original material or stealing from JS Bach???

[@robertomelchior5]

E UN VIDEO SPACCA OSSA,SOLO PER I VERI DURI DELROOK BY ROBY D.J.

[@diegoporceldeperalta6984]

First singer not Original

[@crossteel]

The original singer is Chris Collins

[@lcpelegrino817]

Dominici >> LaBrie

[@diegoporceldeperalta6984]

James LaBrie isn't guilty to have a great voice
