You probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown =)

[@creeddax5132]

@Caiden Kalel definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@Michael_Michaels]

4:08 this section is so good!!! I can't wait to hear them all play together and who knows bring another concept album like this masterpiece!

[@MrBaklava]

God Portnoy is just so exceptional. Miss him in DT

[@MrAnimal1971]

Scenes from a memory is one of the finest albums DT ever did. I like them all but this is art!

[@k.coleman9317]

The joy of Mike's drumming (and this entire album) is that there is SPACE in the music to be able to hear the totality of the entire song...

[@GoodSneakers]

The amount of variation, inventiveness and composition in his drumming style comes very clear in this song. I met him when I was a teenager, he was such a kind and nice guy, huge fan of music with an awesome attitude. I miss him in the band - he was the fun of DT.

[@sabian5393]

Yes, I agree, I do miss his drumming style, energy & enthusism.

[@PJBonoVox]

Yeah, same here. It's not a slight on Mangini who is clearly a virtuoso on the drums. It's just that some of us just 'click' with certain drummers. It's not even about skill, they just have an intangible 'thing' that draws us in.

[@josedanielfiorillorestrepo8393]

Managing is an amazing Drummer but I never saw him play like on the audition. He looks like a robot all the time. So sad Portnoy is gone fron DT

[@_-TC]

@@josedanielfiorillorestrepo8393 "Mike Managing" lmao. But honestly, same. When I saw the audition tapes I absolutely tought he was one of the best fits (aside from Marco Minnemann to be honest). But i haven't seen him play with that passion afterwards. I hope that flame gets reignited somehow

[@cunjoz]

@@_-TC Marco was a far better fit than Mangini imo.

[@robertopinto8100]

I love this mix, bass and keys are so clear and louder than the original. Finally I hear Rudess playing several times the line from Metropolis Part 1 that goes like "swimming in a lake of fiiiiiiiire"

[@bensperoni3855]

God, I really miss this Dream Theater sound.

[@Jyrildo]

All down to Kevin Shirley. HE engineers Bonamassa's records now including other things. But i agree. by far the best sounding albums by DT

[@perefectflow]

This really calls me back home to that great DT sound and feel!

[@andrewlamont3053]

I really want them to back to a time when being loud wasn't top of their priority.

[@AntDeRoche]

Same page Ben. Same page!

[@DomHallBass]

Listen to Pomegranate Tiger

[@dustinparker9456]

At 8:54 stated by Mike. Mike does a drum fill that wasn’t on the album then he looks right at the camera with a amazed look. He said that he wished that fill was on the album.

[@Coufu]

This!!! It amazes me that he didn’t play that fill on the live shows though

[@AlphSlayer]

This reminds me when I was always got surprised by their creativity n feeling. I'm a guitar guy but MP is one of the most creatives guys that I know. And his drum tone always perfect! Hats off for ya master!

[@RDog4484]

Holy shit, this mix is so clean! I’d love to hear the entire album like this.

[@el0j]

right!! some sounds are not even audible at least on their official yt videos

[@sazidhasankhan9144]

Still remains my favourite song from the album!

[@joshuajuaire8757]

Wow such intensity and passion and love for the drums

[@josebuzani2066]

Home and dark eternal night is what introduced me to DT- 15 years ago and haven’t stopped listening ever since. Mad respect for these musicians and their efforts to bring something worth listening to for years !

[@edwincorrea6987]

Literally Dream Theater has one or a couple of good and fun songs per album, the rest look like boooring exercises your homework teacher left you

[@Bingusman]

Definitely my favorite song from the entire album, Portnoy’s drummer here is flawless, such a master at work

[@legalizexit]

i remember been learning drums as a kid and i dreamed with that lovely kit .. the color , the configuration, the soundd woww till now must be a dream play it :D

[@nebitnoify]

Perfect!!!!!!!! As always....

[@anuragsharma1075]

Thanks DT2BLZ! This is exactly what I was looking for 😃

My pleasure.

Have this CD currently in my car playing nonstop for over a month

[@septianovalis8576]

Its so satisfying how portnoy actually play his drum rather than seeing any people cover his drum lul

[@MagicInternetMonkey]

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, i shall not speak thru my ignorance, so I shall respect your opinion.

[@Bingusman]

Maybe because he is the guy who played the song originally? lmao

[@brandontucciarone7167]

Welcome home, Mr. Portnoy!

[@RayRossman]

Mike Portnoy is Dream Theater. Not alone in my eyes as a professional, Mike is the best there is... Mike Portnoy, Master Drummer, Master Percussionist.

[@brianjezuit4085]

I lost my copy of Liquid Drum Theater during the process of moving. I'm very excited and thrilled that you posted this particular part...itZ my all time favorite DT track and favorite part of the entire video 🥁thank you so much

I heard John and Mike are going to record Liquid Tension Experiment 3. This will be the most long-waited release ever!

[@gacktkun1647]

Long time dream theater fan (Since Awake) but I have to admit, it does not have the same energy without MP there. I still love 90’s DT over anything they’ve done up to this point.

[@BlastBeatsFTW]

[@debuhokontra2006]

technically there is a lot of great drummer out there than mike, but the art and groove he puts on his piece is different, I think he is the salvador dali of drums

[@wiggy009]

@@debuhokontra2006 yeah he definitely has an undeniable feel and quality that can sometimes be hard to explain

[@davidhamm9560]

The best way I can describe his drum style is playing "downhill". It makes his power seem effortless...

[@billpeart]

I think I understand, but explain a bit more about the "downhill" please.

[@rugierro]

@@billpeart Like running downhill vs running uphill. Uphill requires strength and endurance, while running downhill is more akin to guiding a force of nature. Just get the movements right, stay in control, and it takes not a lot of effort. And that is I think a really good way to describe his playing, like an effortless force of nature.

[@thomasfievet1517]

Nothing to do with Mike P or Mike M, but they will never do such a masterpiece. Such fans are waiting for a scenes from a memory like album, but there were so much entouthiasm a frustration in 97... rage hope and envy gave us this beauty.

[@stylherc]

First video I've ever downloaded on a smartphone... Feels like centuries ago! MP is the real MVP of DT imo

[@FanaticDrummer]

He personally needs to bring this kit back for a new prog project. I think its time. “Modern” music has peaked and its just on auto pilot. This kit represents so much percussive freedom.

[@lexeykuzmintsev2410]

Very cool!

[@sonoluminescent]

Never really noticed until now, but Mike tends to hit his hi hats and cymbals with just the very end of his stick. This is kinda crazy to me for a couple reasons. One is, I usually hit with much more of the shoulder, I’d say a good 25% or more of the stick is past the edge of whatever cymbal I’m hitting. And I STILL will miss the target entirely every once in a blue moon. For him to frequently use just like, the last 10% of his stick length and not miss constantly is impressive in its own right. Second, with how hard he hits, I’m surprised those sticks even survive a single song.

[@kepp7787]

I’m with ya. I’m shoulder of the stick all the time unless I’m doing some fancy hi hat or ride work.

[@vonbleak101]

As much as i like Mangini - I wish DT just listened to Portnoy and took a few years off then regrouped and he would not have left... There is a groove he has that is very Zepplin inspired despite being a metal drummer and its so good... Mangini may even be 'better' technically, but Portnoy just has the feel/groove...

[@dreamdrummer5]

Best drummer ever!

4:11 I cannot found this part on Mangini's Live version

[@diaphanoux]

Mangini has kept just a " basic" version of Portnoy's parts across all songs. IMO it is really a bummer! It feels too tense, robotic and that drumming panache it's all gone!

[@Ijard_panjang]

He did play it correctly. Just that he doesnt have the small stack cymbal that MP uses so the sound is kinda blended in the background instead of the front. You can hear he played the ride cymbals correctly

[@59mithrandir]

Thanks !!!

The miking is insane. DT had one of the best sound engineering of its time. Meanwhile, this is how you get your money's worn from a drum kit 🤣 like afreighttrain. I listened to him and petrucci live once and my hearing didn't recover for a week. What a tasteful beast of a drummer...

[@piotrjusianiec2716]

3:33 sound like Tool . Wondering who inspired who with this nice pattern?

That beat is the same one that the second verse of Metropolis Pt I, Mike was very smart extracting rhyhtm motifs from that song to use throughout all Scenes from a Memory.

[@kanamicina8]

Both of them inspired by Ringo

[@gaborbanko8373]

@Kevin Lee the main riff has nothing to do with metropolis pt 1 (the chorus does). it's a clear tool ripoff with the whole intro.
