Dream Theater - Solitary Shell (Live at Budokan)

[@stephenp6411]

Live at Budokan. One of the greatest concerts ever recorded.

[@linuslittlefield2112]

SCORE

[@gigly1990]

One of the best, due to the mind blowing Instrumedley

[@cobain_92]

@@linuslittlefield2112 I love Score, but the Orchestra was kind of sloppy

[@CaptainOffensive]

Score better.

[@maciejkowalski2759]

I think Budokan is their greatest concert instrumentally, but it wasn't one of James LaBrie's best days. His voice sounds much stronger on SCORE.

[@sammathis]

This is my personal favorite DT era. I'm not bashing the others, they're all great, but this is the one that speaks to me the most.

[@austin5732]

I love 2000-2008

[@MAGAMAN]

Their last several albums have all been crap. Pretty much everything since Portnoy left.

[@nabillatashandra4868]

One of my most favorite DT songs of all time! Love the vibe, sadly this song is barely recognized

[@treytison1444]

Idk my friends who are also DT fans bring this song up fairly often as one of their faves. I'd categorize both this and Beneath The Surface as some of their classic rock ballads.

[@DragonTigerBoss]

I feel like this song is about me.

[@NH-bg4lu]

Ikr I love it so much

[@q1lee]

same here. this and About to crash (reprise) are my top 2 favorite DT songs

ah, reminds me of highschool, shorthaired JP, low speed internet, no streaming, i had to order pirated dvds since no one was selling or i didn't know where to find the original one. -love from indonesia-

No James with bad voice live, no Mangini. Oh good times!

[@juand3250]

When I was 13, I just listened to SDOIT, and I was amazed with this masterpiece. Thanks to you I learned English and love composing and listening to prog music. Thank you so much Dream Theater.

[@charliemosi]

The Lyrics : He seemed no different from the rest Just a healthy normal boy His mama always did her best And he was daddy's pride and joy He learned to walk and talk on time But never cared much to be held And steadily he would decline Into his solitary shell As a boy he was considered somewhat odd Kept to himself most of the time He would daydream in and out of his own world But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself in his solitary shell A temporary catatonic madman on occasion When will he break out of his solitary shell He struggled to get through his day He was helplessly behind He poured himself onto the page Writing for hours at a time As a man he was a danger to himself Fearful and sad most of the time He was drifting in and out of sanity But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself in his solitary shell A momentary maniac with casual delusions When will he be let out of his solitary shell

[@StephanieSmith-qh8kr]

Thanks ❤

[@lightningfirst689]

3:36 Jordan more or less gets to define the beat here. And since the song changes tone in that moment anyway, he takes the opportunity to try to bring it down to a more reasonable tempo.

[@NH-bg4lu]

James has the voice of an angel 😍😍

[@stoyanrashev1653]

Awesome,the same here 👌♥️

[@tjcraig71412]

This song got my wife into Dream Theater. We used to cry how beautiful it is. Now we have a 3 month old daughter and just go "Holy shit! You think she'll learn to walk and talk on time?! She's not much of a huger! What if.... Crap!".

[@amgere2195]

This just made my night hahaha. Congratulations brother!

I don’t know why but I really love the times when Jordan still uses his Kurzweil. Miss the lead sound that comes from that keyboard

[@TSGuitarz]

One of the best underrated songs of dream theater. Truly magical piece!

[@hombreesquizoidedelsiglo21]

i'm autistic, i love the lyrics, and makes me cry because the lyrics are about the autism, thanks dream theater, thanks mike portnoy.

[@yesec9]

I identify with this song so hard. This has always been one of my favorites. I feel like it describes me. I feel like Dream Theater is reaching out to me and people like me, and giving all of us who are struggling with mental health issues, a big hug with their music and lyrics ❤

[@manelvictor2112]

Live at Budokan (2004) is probably one of their best concerts.

[@salimzavaro8657]

The only drummer who gives a different taste and vibes to any metal song 🤘

[@ang13mono]

A guy on the autistic spectrum, not only this song, but the entire album is a joy of my existence, thank's dream theater

[@s3k1m]

My older brother bought this DVD when I was 14 and that's when I became obsessed with DT music.

[@Edkeyz]

I always thought to my self that JP forgot the notes for the acoustic solo and just improvised on top of it, still magnificent...

[@vikingmetaliscool]

Always thought that too. The blank notes strum up and down sounds frustrated.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Apparently he had problems with the double-neck guitar and had to switch right in time for the solo.

[@CarolusFerrum]

_Many years pass by, and Live at Budokan still remains as DT best live recording!._ 🤘🏼🎸🥁🎹🎶

[@abihrv]

This video's audio is remastered and remixed, I've compared with the DVD version. They're different.

[@adrianocavoone7825]

Nah,i think that scenes from new york is their best by far,then marquee and after budokan,it's still a kickass concert

[@elcapitanneurona]

My favorite album from DT. I remember back in college at the time ( 2001) , looking through their website, when someday on News says: “ For immediate release” it was the set list and the title track of SDOIT. Flew back in time! Still remember. Best memories around .

[@GrantTregellas]

4:43 JP's tribute to Steve Morse solo on "Endless Waves". Cool.

[@fiuzaffiuza5948]

Best "DT" DVD!!! Great music!!!

[@charlesguitt]

Luna Park tbm é massa e aquele outro de 2015 q esqueci o nome

[@maurotales7425]

Probably their best moment, great songs, different styles, great shows, improvs, they had everything by that time.

[@hereinsertname]

This song is eerily close to my actual life. Thank you DT, love you guys.

[@zachadams4310]

I love this song so much. Six Degrees as a whole was super important to me as I came to terms with my own mental illness, but this is the piece that feels like it's about me. I love it and I will cry-sing every time they play it til I die.

[@son.of.celluloid]

Six degrees of Inner turbulence will always be my favorite from them

[@artimmenersilvers7841]

I’ll always appreciate this band for their wide range of styles they can pull off. They don’t just keep to one style and that’s what keeps people interested. Always a favorite

[@d.afonsohenriques6346]

Live at Budokan...a master piece of a live shows.

[@agungpribadi100]

I remember in 2003 i cross country from east Java to Bali with this song

[@rendyandrian7149]

This kind of song is what I miss from DT. I mean DT always puts a few easy listening song in every album. In recent albums, there is no easy listening song at all.

[@tresmcneil]

I have a rare LED sign with this live performance on it. What a treasure honestly my favorite piece.

[@mastrmaster159]

Had to rewatch again the whole Live at Budokan Concert. The feeling is overwhelming right now.

[@mildlyAnAlien]

Was about to fall into a dark place again and this was next on my recommendations, gave it a listen and my mood has been elevated quite a bit. I've been a long-time fan of the band and I can't express how amazing they are to me without being late for work... which I should probably get ready for now that I think about it.

[@davidholmgren8156]

Hope you made it on time! (Mostly kidding, as it’s been two years)

[@johnny_072]

Live at Budokan and Score are my favorites DT's concerts.

[@KarlosPetrucci]

Me encanta esta canción. Realmente transmite una sensación de paz, sobre todo cuando la escuchas sólo, con los ojos cerrados y pensando cómo se sentirá un niño con autismo. La melodía da a pensar que es internamente feliz.

[@yesec9]

We autistics certainly do try and craft a safe space and rich inner life that suits us in our own way...but sometimes it is difficult to have it all be compatible with how society works. Families, jobs, etc...we can't escape the fact that we have to sometimes live and survive in everyone elses' world in order to have the means to sustain our own little world with our hobbies and interests. An "impenetrable" solitary shell would mean starvation and death. I need money, and I don't like scamming people, so I have to work, and thus I have to reach my arms out of the shell from time to time through small holes. And always worrying that they hurt my hand when I reach through, but moreso in an interpersonal and emotional sense than physical; I do construction, so I'm hardened to cuts and bruises from work; I'm far more sensitive to social rejection than physical pain. I strongly relate to this song.

[@alicebertovsky2490]

Absolute live! No audio fixes! This is a great job! I love this concert!

[@crashhack]

Dream Theater ha sido siempre muy importante en mi vida, verlos siempre es realmente satisfactorio.

[@gheice_modelism]

As a drummer with more than 23 years of experience, all I can say is that never ever will a drum set sound that good, than with MP, on this stage, on this concert, on this day. Ever.

[@davemars80]

As a drummer with more than 24 years of experience I disagree ;)

[@jozzapozza6365]

Agreed. It sounds brilliant

[@omairsh8]

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

For those who don't know, Budokan was made for sumo wrestling matches. If I'm correct, as a result, it's got this cool circular thing going on.

[@caramoval5796]

both are great drummers. MP or MM are awesome. they have their own styles. but sometimes it's not about who's the best, but about the soul of the band. we love MM as a genius drummer. but bringing up romantic, beautiful and memorable song, let's leave it to MP.

[@arparetyma]

Have this concert in original DVD, what a pleasure from beginning to end.

@@thomazmaf ele não erra tempo, mas acelera a música. somente na sessão instrumental no final que ele toca no andamento normal do CD. alias, ele fazia isso c/ muita frequência quando estava no dream theater, nos shows. preciso 100% no metrônomo o tempo todo, somente em estúdio na hora de gravar os álbuns do DT. comentei isso com o Lufe (ex-batera do Oficina G3) numa live dele, e ele confirmou isso.

[@GabyGamerGirl]

@@thomazmaf não falei q ele erra tempo, mas acelera a musica ao vivo (toca mais rapido q no cd) coloca a musica nas duas versoes, de estudio e essa ao vivo, pra tocar lado a lado, se vc der o play nas duas ao mesmo tempo vc vai ver q essa ao vivo esta mais acelerada.

[@nachomenares]

Budokan is great. Outstanding quality I have it on Blu Ray

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

One of the best major scale keyboard riffs ever with a nice synth song here. I really like JR's live streams he has done. I saw a few when they were actually live. So inspiring to see someone just Jam some cool stuff with improv. This is a good recording of DT though. That paino part is that comes in with the Piezo pickup part is so pirate like. A good song with some interesting lyrics. Also JP looks good with his long hair and that short hair look he had here.🤘
