This key suits JLB the best, he must forget those high pitches, his lower regions accents his voice beautifully

[@lamborghinihuracan1222]

Top highest A4

[@jaimehacker10]

they should hire a your singer for the higher pitches

[@beanstalker3292]

Don't forget KM made it....true genius.

[@Moskal91]

Quite a genius. So genius he thought what a great idea to Leave as soon as he got famous to make an ELECTRONIC MUSIC PROJECT forgot to mention he's a Psychiatrist now

[@lifeisajourney5789]

KMs version: Less is mo(o)re! JRs version: More is less (feel)!

[@j800r]

This song is the perfect example of the vocal style I've always thought James best suited to. Those high pitched wails from him always turn me off. His soft vocals even to this day are exquisite though.

[@ankihansen2489]

Shut up, douchebag.

[@jayhay8]

@@ankihansen2489 hey don't be an asshole. It's fair for someone to dislike a certain vocal style. He's not saying James is a terrible singer, he's just saying his softer vocals sound better to him. Nothing wrong with that. I personally dislike some of James's higher singing as well, because he doesn't enunciate enough and you can't understand what he's singing often.

[@jaimehacker10]

till 2013 his high notes were fineee, then he became terrible

[@ricardocardoso2047]

This is a beautiful beautiful piece of music, but I have to say, that watching this live was one of the most moving things I have ever experienced. It transported me elsewhere and there was nothing else in the world. I felt every word labrie sang and every note Jordan played like they were played just for me. I mean, brilliant!!!

[@paulvenkman]

Just watched the Live In Japan version and I actually prefer it to this. Obviously Jordan beyond question is an unbelievable pianist, an all round wizard on keys. BUT Kevin Moore's performance all those years ago had something Jordan didn't, in certain sections of Wait For Sleep he would harmonise notes within the chord sequence. Thanks for the video, it's a great performance from DT.

[@prateemlahkar7622]

Yes I agree.. The keys of this song doesn't suit Jordan's style. Jordan is more of a technical player shredding notes and hits the notes hard. Kevin is more of a soft melodical player. You can observe his notes arent as soft and smooth as KM's.

[@SuperGorak]

this is the best james has ever been. seriously. this is so fuckerfantabalastic

[@zoewinters820]

the best since the food poison accident

[@davidescristofaros2241]

I know, I'm new to dream theater and I see a lot of hate about James voice. The fact is that his voice seems amazing to me, the problem is that he uses it in a bad way, he randomly screams when he can't do it properly anymore. It seems like a waste of voice

[@feralkitty9378]

@@zoewinters820 A change of seasons has his best vocals and that was after.

[@mevetemagisaurne1151]

C'ero anch'io... troppa emozione, le lacrime venivano giù senza accorgermene! Questo audio-video è uno fra i più belli, bravo! E il pezzo... fantastico! LaBrie, tra l'altro, ha mantenuto intatte le medie. Un concerto bellissimo! Peccato non abbiano fatto anche The Spirit Carries On, come invece hanno fatto a Roma.

[@henry-lee-music]

James, you better talk about the incredible songwriter Kevin Moore.

[@AndresBarrosMusic]

I guess he did subtly ("beautiful melody, beautiful lyrics")

[@henry-lee-music]

@@AndresBarrosMusic That's not enough in my opinion.

[@AndresBarrosMusic]

@@henry-lee-music I wonder how that topic is handled within. I imagine the band is aware of the following and nostalgia Moore produces.

[@henry-lee-music]

I can't really have an idea of how he is perceived by the band. Hopefully, they understand his exceptional abilities as a songwriter. Unfortunately, they don’t say something like that in interviews. There might be a PR-related reason.

[@chan_estelle]

Why does JR do this? Just...why? This song is so wonderful and gorgeous in its simplicity and it doesn’t need this ridiculous frill. I know it’s not his song but it just lacks the passion and intensity that KM put into it.

[@frankwitte1022]

Just accept that different musicians interpret songs differently and enjoy each for what they bring ...

[@wiggy009]

2:55 I love that part

[@blackharpy7468]

Me too.

[@kkrotosongoku2716]

Meu sonho era ouvir essa música num show deles

[@mauromugiati3874]

I was there too yesterday! man, your live videos are always the best quality ones! I always relive bits of DT gigs I've been to, through your channel. thanks for the awesome job!

true

[@michaelfrancis1]

thanks for sharing! great show!

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Jordan killed me with intro virtuosity that when song came i was very nervous. I wished very few notes were there as introduction for such a atmospheric , emotional and slow song.

[@absolutsolo2763]

seeing Jordan Rudess in the beginning I feel like streching my back - a lot.

[@sourcescience]

Why does Jordan insist on turning every single fucking thing he plays from the time before he joined into a tornado of notes and showing off of his speed playing talents? We get it. You’re a virtuoso. Good for you. Now just go ahead and play the fucking thing as it is written. It was good enough to revolutionise prog rock back then so it’s clearly good enough as it is now.

[@darkswan80]

LaBrie gave an excellent performance here, that unfortunately was not supported by the keyboard. This song is supposed to create a dreamy atmosphere, where voice and piano become one single "cloud of sound" to carry you away. The piano sounds like it's playing its own thing. It also feels a bit rushed.

[@fourseasons4105]

It's just an improvised intro solo Lots of bands add those, when he got to the song he played it amazingly just like all the Kevin Moore jerks offs like it :)

[@nicolasfrossi]

Funny how Jordan complained in drummers audiction that they didn’t play the music the same way portnoy did

[@sebrura]

Agreed. Rudess is IMO a boring as fuck keyboard player. He just can’t chill the shredding and arpeggios. Should perform at a circus.

[@Misterwhiters]

I almost cried

[@David22232]

Non capisco il perché un intro debba essere così lunga,indiscutibile la bravura e la tecnica di Jordan,ma a mio parere un pochino eccessiva. Moore rimarrà per sempre al primo posto,ma veramente su tutti coloro che sono arrivati dopo di lui.

[@PierpaoloAiello]

Ero in prima fila ed ho preso il plettro di Petrucci. Yeeah!

[@aymanhazim4639]

we want petrucci to add a solo for this song but wow 2:48

[@urmomsaivilo4783]

A rare moment when James LaBrie sounds better than Rudess

[@sensitivity7207]

He sounds perfectly here.

[@tigresita119]

1:21 starts

[@paolamora6621]

Manito número 100 👍🏾

[@ATK10155]

Kevin was the dude who MADE that song work. I love Jordan though.

[@David22232]

Senza Kevin Moore i D.T, hanno perso tastieristicamente parlando.. un musicista che creava atmosfere uniche,irripetibili,poi per l'uso delle armonie usate nei brani,ci sarebbe da aprire pure un altro capitolo.Non voglio essere un presuntuoso ma dopo Kevin per me, c'è stato il nulla...e il modo tastieristico di Kevin lo conosco molto bene,poi io parlo da semplice fan che esprime il suo modesto giudizio e niente di più.

[@MaurizioMancini76]

È vero, basta leggere i commenti delle persone a cui manca Kevin Moore. I dischi migliori sono stati realizzati con lui e portnoy

[@David22232]

@@MaurizioMancini76 grazie per la tua approvazione 👍

[@alessandromariani99]

Chiaro che Kevin fosse l'anima dei primi album, però c'è da dire che era normale aspettarsi un'evoluzione da parte della la band, soprattutto dopo il mezzo flop di Falling Into Infinity e il successo dei LTE... e questa evoluzione è dovuta anche al grandissimo Jordan Rudess, tastiera di gran gusto che ci ha regalato grandi momenti di musica, in primis mi vien da dire l'Overture di Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Per quanto riguarda Derek Sherinian, altro grande tastiera ma il suo stile "rock" non era quello giusto per la band, a mio modesto avviso (anche se pure lui ha avuto modo di mettersi in bella mostra, vedi A Change of Seasons e Lines in The Sand).

[@David22232]

@@alessandromariani99 tanto di rispetto per Jordan e Derek,ma io in Jordan sento solo tecnica,Derek ad esempio non era male ma forse non molto adatto per i D.T., Kevin invece era "tutto". I D.T. credo che oggi come oggi,abbiano smarrito un pochino la strada di ciò che furono in passato. Poi sono punti di vista naturalmente,grazie per il confronto,tu suoni?io mi arrangio al piano e alla tastiera,ho un canale you tube.

[@alessandromariani99]

@@David22232 Certo, i primi due dischi degli anni novanta hanno quel sound malinconico tipico di KM che li rende riconoscibili da un miglio. Vero che oggi sono completamente un altra band. Io mi auguro che si ispirino nuovamente a lavori come i primi perché è lì che si trova l'essenza dei Dream Theater, anche se devo dire che fino a Octavarium per me non hanno sbagliato un colpo, nel senso che ogni pezzo aveva una sua dinamicità che poi è venuta a scemare fino all'ultimo (per me prolisso a dir poco) album. È un piacere scambiare quattro chiacchiere virtuali con i fan dei DT! Io comunque non suono, spendo un'oretta ogni tanto a provare qualche scala e accordo su una vecchia tastiera al massimo... ecco perché ho piacere a parlare dei grandi Kevin Moore e Jordan Rudess.
