This is just about studio quality. WOW they know their material like the back of their hand and have the skill to put it out there live. Incredible musicians, the lot of them.

[@mariovrandecic5690]

Unbelievable precision! Just like listening studio version, yes! Ross is amazing, not a single note failed... Although it seems some songs he played little bit lower?

[@bradleyphilp4510]

@@mariovrandecic5690 Ross' singing is 100% autotuned here, not trying to take anything away from his performance or sound, it does sound great, but that's the reality.

[@Diegogamemaster22]

This IS studio qualitiy, i played the video and the original on spotify and managed, to make it sync, it worked perfect till the end of the song... They didn´t shift one millisecond it is absolute perfect

[@Taaak-xg7ix]

@@bradleyphilp4510 how can you tell ?please I'm trying to understand this flawless performance

[@bradleyphilp4510]

@@Taaak-xg7ix this performance was released on DVD and bands generally autotune their official releases. Like if you compare any Dream Theater DVD to James' normal live singing on KZbin vids you'll hear a noticeable difference every time. Same in this case.

[@eyeofbass]

I was fortunate to catch Haken in Asheville last month. They did not disappoint. 3-hours of awesome music. They left it all out on the stage. 🙏 They’re all super humble and kind. The keyboard musician stayed out afterward and spoke with folks that wanted to hang around.

[@KellySchrock]

At my age, it's probably inappropriate to be going around saying "Hey, I have this band that I really like", but... I have this band that I really like. These guys are great!

[@pane36]

Music isn't age restricted, man. Enjoy what you enjoy! Life's too short to pretend otherwise, and enthusiasm is infectious.

[@GermiesCoasterYard]

I second this: music is a gift to share, not a burden to keep

[@jeffjones1359]

Never too old for that!

[@davidcollins2648]

I'm 63 and Haken just bumped Tremonti as my favorite current band.

[@stapefist]

@@davidcollins2648 how's your brother Phil doin these days

[@Arrow2theACL]

Best live recording of Crystallised I have found. What an amazingly beautiful song. In fact the entire set is Prog at its best.

[@alexharper3666]

The quality of the song writing just propels them miles above the rest of the prog world. Haken manages to pack all the ejaculation-inducing musicianship into songs that are genuinely pleasurable to listen to. Bravo gents, bravo.

[@jesseoneill8420]

"ejaculation-inducing" is possibly the greatest adjective I've ever heard.

[@HNedel]

Please, i didn’t ejaculate a single time during this performance! Ok, maybe 2-3 times, but that was it 😅

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

Man...that section in Crystalized where 3 or 4 of them are singing the same line but at different speeds/time signatures had to have taken a lot of mental concentration lol

[@jesseoneill8420]

Syncopation. Crosby Stills & Nash were the masters of it, and Queen obviously

[@flow7393]

36:50 - for future me

[@alnitak208]

They know their Gentle Giant classics. 😉

[@KnoxNick]

Ross sounds amazing here! Such an awesome band!

[@RDog4484]

Man. That bass tone is amazing.

[@steampunk1435]

pareidolia's solo section sounded really cool with the keys in front like that

[@jesseoneill8420]

The insane amount of polyrhythmics starting at 3:00

[@scottbarr2889]

Seeing them in concert in 6 weeks at the Manning Bar in Sydney University...PUMPED!!!!

[@davidstolarski741]

I can't believe any band can pull this off live. Haken- you guys rule !

[@speedhertz]

36:51: O-M-G!!!!!!!

[@lucasharris5727]

Wonderful. Can't you see the Shit it is holy. These guys are awesome! I would love to see 'em live. It even makes me want to play. Thank you

[@MarcosZaoldyeck]

Thank you so much for publishing this!

[@davidcollins2648]

Phenomenal production and mix. I'm half deaf and this sounds amazing. There's few mixes where I can clearly separate the sounds but I can on this.

[@lotec78]

passages of time, buried in the chaos of my mind

[@sixxarctica2811]

I love this band ❤❤❤

[@m_obispo]

46:44 A wild Mike Portnoy appears!

[@aande3657]

One hell of a live performance!

[@mikelavoie8327]

Thank you for this awesome video

[@diegosierracastro]

21:08 Charlie Griffits is a terrific player.

[@MJ-vd8bj]

5:05 He actually sings "Non stop purple force" haha

[@cobaliufloof4198]

even the lighting is purple!!!

[@BneiAnusim]

Very nice! I didn't know this band! I heard about them in an interview with Tosi Abasin (Animals as Leaders) where he mentioned them several times. 🤘

[@cristostian4503]

BRO, the way ross growl during pareidolia was awesome, never heard him do that live nor in any other song after Aquarius

[@juliansevilla9530]

Muy bien. Gracias.

[@AmeenKOM]

No one audible mistake throughout the whole live from any of the band's members. Just unbelievable. These guys are unbeatable and phenomenal! My top prog band although I have been a Dream Theater fan since my teenage and been playing guitar in the padt and managed to cover so many of their songs. This makes wanna buy new guitar equipemeny and go back to guitar practicing and playing!

[@talaniel]

Oh yes! Go back to guitar! I did so recently and gosh, it is so great! Such a great way to forget the world and just sink into the music.

[@Suene91]

Atyaég! This band is a gem.

[@ulfingvar1]

Awesome band, need to be much more well known!!!

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Damn they are just incredible live, might even be better than the studio here

[@violentbob]

holy shit 07:20 made me lose my mind this sounds incredible

[@BTBAM819]

[@miguelgustavofreitas9968]

Fodástico!!!!

[@crisdd0302]

Diego's performance seems to be very inspired by Jordan Rudess from DT. His demeanor is extremely alike, and plays equally good. Great performance by everyone anyways.

[@HNedel]

I thought he was Jordan‘s illegitimate child or something 😄 A tour in Mexico, a few tequilas at the bar… his body movements, facial expressions, his features are even very similar

[@randomxaos]

omg

[@andreshol]

Epic band, it's true progressive

[@prog9747]

Quelle performance !!

[@karungberas8191]

damn this is good..

[@yvesbgs1]

Ross is a GOD and this video proves it!

[@go-vinyl1892]

Mix of opeth and gentle giants. Great live performance

[@Hockeyguy8541]

Man why put midrolls on this? At least put them in between the songs not in the middle of them

[@MauroBattaglio]

Jerry Guidroz TOP!!!

[@victormontielmusic]

I love Pete but damn I also miss Diego 😢

[@ianzoom]

I feel you, i think Diego has more personality in its keybord lines and the live performance is much better than pete's imo

[@tomasolivares4984]

I miss Diego :(

[@victormontielmusic]

I feel you :( but Pete is also nice
