Dream Theater - War Inside My Head / The Test That Stumped Them All (live at budokan)

[@BestUsernameIGot]

Budokan: The only place where Dream Theater can have a concert and everyone shows up in suits.

[@LCSILVA2706]

LOL. It happens in a lot of concerts in Japan because these japaneses go directly from their jobs to the concert.

[@wanderson6588]

Hey Man! How are you after twelve years?

[@BestUsernameIGot]

@@wanderson6588 I'm good! Still reeling from the fact that Portnoy is back in Dream Theater

[@AbinLimRV]

I was 7 years old the last time I heard this song, I've been searching for this song for 10 years and finally found it

[@velyurong9513]

I'm so glad that you've succeeded in it

i like how the bass is so strong and powerful

My thoughts exactly. It's so good hearing myung

Mike portnoy. Used to be the drummer anyway

[@MastersApprentice123]

Yeah, he's pretty good.

[@LudwigHollywood66]

Love the drummer when talking about Portnoy is like saying I love that number 23 on the Chicago Bulls

[@DonChato12]

At around 6 minutes, my Wi-Fi disconnected unexpectedly. I guess it couldn't process all those arpeggio's and flams.

Backing vocals are back

[@asrokmutaqin2578]

that bass 😭😬👍🙏

[@TheRocker0619]

MYUNG!!!

[@hacked9782]

5:12 - "Hey, the bass seems kinda high, maybe we should try pulling that down a bit or maybe increasing Petrucci a bit?" 5:46 - "MORE BASS, PLEASE!"

[@williamharris245]

Epic. Sad I'll never see DT live when they were this good.

[@synthchick12]

They were pretty damn good the last few times I've seen them!!! :D

In 04/26/24 these dvd make 20 years.

[@Peanuts76]

Napalm showers Showed the cowards We weren't there to mess around Through heat exhaustion And mind distortion A military victory mounted on innocent ground Hearing voices from miles away Saying things never said Seeing shadows in the light of the day Waging a war inside my head Years and years of Bloodshed and warfare Our mission was only to get in and kill A free vacation Of palmtrees and shrapnel Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell Hearing voices from miles away Saying things never said Seeing shadows in the light of the day Waging a war inside my head Feeling strangers staring my way Reading minds never read Tasting danger with each word I say Waging a war inside my head

[@empereurdesrats3613]

John Myung is awesome!

[@Kinderl]

Arguably some of the best musicians in prog ever to have assembled. Love that they pull it off live!

[@aeryx999]

This was peak DT

[@cosmavitosoldato6108]

Perfect band

That's actually a lot easier than it looks/sounds

[@knotchbass]

The best all time live performance recording I have ever heard. Houston is ready for DT to come back!!!!!!

[@julianholland4009]

Mech Mod Mike Check out the Score version!

[@revolutionairerebel9511]

OMG I review this video seven years later but it is great! Great Mc Portnoy with his obscure voice and LaBrie...

[@andreeaazamfirei1951]

Man how I love DT... ...Even though I'm 12!

[@sergeantduckythe3rd255]

I heard metropolis for the first time at 13. Instantly fallen in love. Remains one of my favorite song of all time. you're not alone c:

[@carpe0113]

Portnoy completed the band, you can tell he loves to play, has fun and really gets into the music. They don't have that full package anymore :(

[@MournfulMystic]

They do now..again

[@revolutionairerebel9511]

And the great Myung and Jordan and Petrucci... OMG.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

One thing that perplexes me is why the guitar solo was still kinda low in the mix on that recording. But it still looked and sounded awesome

[@madmax27082000]

portnoy's voice is awesome!

[@chaneppchannel_365]

😅😅

[@LudwigHollywood66]

His drumming is not bad either. 😏

[@loadedlongboardlover]

just saw them preform this yesterday at the gibson theater :D with mangini of course lol

[@jacobdavis5518]

So good

[@marcosrenan93]

Keyboard solo is fantastic

My two all-time faves from DT! Thanks for uploading!

[@HalenShredder]

5:01 I don't have a problem with pitch correction in general, but that was very noticeable.

[@fleskip]

Yes he does

[@danyXX2]

dream it just real music!

[@elayaSP]

like the screen change and movement at the beginning of the solo at 5:10

[@mrfelipen21]

I love this song This version is better than the studio.

[@MrNipsi]

I wish dream theatre records are produced where myungs bass is audible

[@izzymignot]

@TramxDT Me too. Probably a stereo problem.

[@dwikidyatamaiswara7451]

NAPALM.. NAPALM NAPALM SHOWER!! SHOW THAT COWARD WE WEREN'T THERE TO MESS ARROUND!! FUCKIN LIKE THIS LYRICS

I miss when Dream Theater was this awesome, just not the same since MP left

Good

[@cuyipro13]

temón!!!!!

[@Drivenut4]

5:06 ... that transition is fucking amazing

[@GreenCamel96]

@TramxDT O.o I don't have any problem, I perfectly hear him. Maybe there's something with your audio system... well, when James sings you can't hear him like when he's on a solo spot, but it's ok. The only "dark point" to me is The Test That Stumped Tham All's intro, where keys are higher.

[@angelkf87]

VIVA dream theater

[@MrErCojone]

here thinking it was a suicidal tendencies cover...

[@GreenCamel96]

@TramxDT On stage left, like always. Why are you asking that?

2:55 Kick total ASS!!!

[@heinzblassen4446]

3:25 that was really disappointing tokyo.. Seriously

[@morenoharjoyudanto8889]

Yea,i mean look at score, soon as james said that, the whole audience were roaring through the roof !

[@edelman4664]

Why?

[@romancing666]

@@edelman4664 I can't read scores so i maybe wrong but if you listen to the official track around 1:02 mark after James finish his verse("intro tape begins to roll") there is the people roaring sound. The previous comment mention the live version of the Score 20th anniversary world tour then if you listen to it you can hear the audiences roaring at the same mark.

[@metalhead6777777]

Im not saying that he sounds like dave mustaine but the vocal style is totally similar in this song!

[@AffixedEvil]

Sweating Bullets but it's progressive metal

[@Lobometal]

[@branlopgar]

I won't like to imagine how many takes were needed to record James' voice in studio. Damn, Portnoy backing vocals sound better than his.

[@anthonycortez9191]

This specific recording has the full live recording of James Labrie. John probably had to overdub his stuff because we know how shit he can be sometimes lol

[@psypsy751]

James sounds great in this though...

[@hatujemeletsplayeryheskyce6460]

@@psypsy751 he does, even those he messed up the lyrics. But I don't blame him for that because it's a hard song.

5:02 "to save him from himself" do i hear an auto-tune??

[@Jojo03145]

Stick Light no that's his voice

[@YellowSpaceMarine]

I think what you hear is just the keyboards following the melody of the voice.

Skinny Petrucci is so funny to me these days.

Man I love DT since ever but I've always found James to be miss-match with them. P.S i don't like his voice.

[@joaomatheus6222]

remember this: without James Labrie, they would probably have found a better singer, as Labrie didn't started the Band, he came after carlie dominicci, dream theater wouldn't without, JP,JM and Portnoy actually P.S.: Please do a little research to get some information instead of just saying random shit about things you don't know about

+Rob Guldan what do you mean?

[@robguldan9050]

+Jorge Alcala Suicidal Tendencies was a great band. This sounds like Dio meets a metal symphony. don't get me wrong, DT has a following and I respect that, but some things are best left alone. I feel this was a VERY poor cover

[@jorgealcala5473]

i don't get it...sorry, my english is fuckin bad, are u saying that this is a cover? wanna know the song your talking about suicidel tendences

[@robguldan9050]

+Jorge Alcala Yes, it is a horrible version or cover of Suicidal Tendencies. War inside my head. That was my point. No need in anyone getting too upset, I am nobody, and there is a lot of crappy and good bands out there. I just have an opinion. That is all.

[@jorgealcala5473]

but what's the name of the song?
