Thank you Mike Mangini. You have served our beloved band well and we will keep up with your creativity as you move on to new things. Thank you for keeping time. Thank you for your unparalleled skill from the drum throne and for leaving your unique mark on the Dream Theater corpus. Even as we welcome MP back we will miss you. And this performance is proof enough that you deserved your time to shine. Once again, on behalf of all the grateful fans, thank you.

@@AlexZamora1234 Yeah, I agree. For me, finding Dream Theatre was a strange sequence of Stepping stones. Started with The Beatles, then Pink Floyd, then Metallica, then TOOL, and now Dream Theatre. I'd heard Dance Of Eternity on it's own before (heard it was complex as hell and figured I'd check it out), and a few months later, downloaded all of Metropolis Pt 2. Loved it to bits. Dream Theatre is brilliant.

@@Wind343 DTs music is timeless, for me this whole album was a big part of my early teen years, it's a staple in my upbringing, what I listened to when I wanted to lose myself in my thoughts which was pretty often back in those days, it's bonded to my personality and my way of life! These guys were there when no one listened to me, my thoughts and feelings were comforted by DTs music in a massive way, they were like having that friend that supported you all the way... this is why this song resonates so much with me

[@WeaselFace]

FINALLY a mix engineer that Understands that LaBrie's vocals are better when they are further into the mix. Too many of their live recordings put his vocals too far forward and I think that's why so many people think he's a horrible live vocalist. But this concert proves he's a fantastic vocalist in that he BLENDS with the band rather than leads it with his vocals. As a FOH engineer myself it can be tempting to put the vocals as far forward as possible, as thats usually what the crowd is singing along to. But Dream Theatre work best when all elements are level in the mix.

[@Vladimir_Filin]

Соглашусь полностью. Это не попса, чтобы вокал выпячивать впереди всех инструментов, которые по технике исполнения, тембрами звучания насыщают все композиции палитрой музыкальной идеи. На качественном аппарате, при качественной записи, слышаться нюансы всех инструментов и вокала. Плохо, когда вокал заполняет и переполняет децибелы звуков.

The best commentary I read.

I've listened to Dream Theater for about 20 years and never realized this. I have to rethink of how I listen to LaBrie's vocals now. However I have noticed that I love the way he sounds in the Human Equation with Ayreon.

Yeah this particular concert will forever be their best yet. Cannot be topped. The concept of a prog metal band accompanied by choir and orchestra is not an idea that can always be executed everytime, even if they wanted to. Especially because this concert's setlist was so good and compatible for orchestra and choir. And Mangini.... Oh Mangini... His drum set in this concert is the best and peak. His set has been getting smaller as years of tours keep going. Before he get kicked from the band, his set is just like any regular custom set, not really that "holy shit". For me, now that Mangini is gone, DT ends. Good for people who enjoy Portnoy but it won't ever be the same without Mangini, for me. Glad that this concert in Boston is prove that Mangini once rocked the best in this band.

Notice how he's stepping in line with the tempo, steps a bit faster and gets off the beat, then shuffles his feet for the next phrase to get back on again, so he starts singing with a foot touching the ground. One of those little things that makes you remember that he's human and things like that help with a performance.

The Dream Theater completely changed my musical vision,,,,unrepeatable, as time goes by, I like their work more and more.....💖💚💖

[@moodhot]

there are so many legendary musicians in the world that we know, such as, Beethoven, Mozart, and Dream Theater.....

[@kevinkilduff2064]

Remarkable. The level of musicianship is frankly unprecedented.

[@Elixear]

Unfortunately not. There are thousands of other magnificent talents on the planet, in every musical style. Many many precedents for decades... ;)

[@SeaPython1972]

I’m going to have to agree with Elixear here, this band is frankly not as good as others that it draws comparisons to. In fact I would say crazy musicians like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion exhibit greater talent and rhythm than this band. Still though, I think this band still has great potential. 👍

[@kevinkilduff2064]

@@Elixear Thanks for the comment E. but, with respect, there are very few bands in the history of progressive rock music which mesh this level of technical artistry with gripping melodies and tight musicianship. Rush, Yes, Kansas and fusion jazz greats Return to Forever would be among those bands in the conversation, certainly. But DT belongs right there, in my opinion.

[@Elixear]

@@kevinkilduff2064 I can also understand your point of view.

And if all the pain and suffering in my life were to be witnesses of this piece of art? Worth it!

What a brilliant performance from musicians at the top of their game!

Agh... this is SO good!! Thanks so much for posting this, it's so nostalgic and I can't help but keep smiling through it!

If man will send a message to extra terrestrial beings through music, I will vote to have this Band do the job.

[@heirtoruin]

I don't think I've ever heard James sound THIS good live anywhere else.

[@CopenhagenCollabo]

Twice i worked with you guys back in start 90th when you played in Copenhagen, it still stands as a fantastic experience… Unbelievable it’s almost 30 years ago.. Much love from Copenhagen 🇩🇰

[@dsvet]

This band has set standards that have defined Prog Metal for decades to come. Legends in their own time.

[@ronaldlucas8325]

First concert I ever went was of this tour in Rio de Janeiro. Seeing my favorite band live was an experience I'll never forget!

Falou tudo, my friend.

[@tyreepitre5416]

how to

[@1306melo]

É um crime ver o Mangini tocando as músicas que "são do Portnoy", Mangini é todo duro, não tem carisma algum e tecnicamente é muito abaixo do Portnoy, entusiasmo zero TB, é uma pena, uma música maravilhosa dessa!!

[@585ghz]

@@1306melo acho q o mangini foi o melhor nas "auditions". unico que poderia superar o portnoy seria o bob jarzonbeck, porem ele nao quis

[@vinniciusrosa8284]

@@1306melo Cara, eu acho que os dois são sensacionais. Eu acho que Mangini é mais introspectivo, apenas. Carisma igual cada um do seu jeito. Mangini gosta de sons mais profundos, Portnoy mais pra frente. São só jeitos de tocar de cada um. Portnoy é mais MTV e Mangini é mais "academia". É por aí. Não o considero "todo duro" como você diz. O próprio Petrucci disse que fica indignado quando falam que ele é algo parecido com o que você disse. Mas os dois são muito foda. Gosto das "duas eras" do mesmo jeito

orchestre chief Eren, great musician, congrats !!!

[@prosenjitdas7479]

An absolute masterpiece. Nothing in this world can give you goosebumps if this doesn't give you.

I’m really happy for all that do. I have tried so hard to like this type of music, but…… like I said SO many great comments. Truly happy for you all. ☮️🎼

[@deansilkmusic]

Words simply cannot describe how amazing this is.....

[@williamdixon2026]

Still the best album of all time!!!!

[@stephanietribolet873]

Thank you. Today, I danced again. The moves I found on this album came back to me as if it was yesterday, despite of physical pain. The present, erased. A scene, from a memory, came back from the past. This is so "Meta"… Thank you to perform so well live ! Thank you for the healing this album provided, provides, will provide.

[@eraven1982]

Jan 26, 2022... The world is unbelievably bleak, but the new music video you released had me go down my Dream Theater rabbit hole once again, and now all is well with my consciousness. Thank you so much!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

He's my fave in Dream theater

[@aristotlefromebay]

I know

[@mOnStErMACEO]

He is on the Mt. Rushmore of the bass guitar for sure but I only wish Myung for once would smile or show some type of emotion. I know he is playing technical stuff that requires concentration but have some feel... Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan, Tony Levin, those guys make you feel the music. Then you see how they play and its mind blowing.

[@bmack20034738]

I hope Mike and the band is proud that this was recorded... how amazing was that
