Dream Theater - Stream Of Consciousness [Live at Budokan]

Jajajaja what a badass but true comment. Love it.

Lol agreed, except maybe Labrie. Always been a dapper motherfucker, love how he dressed in the early 90's

[@michaelfishman6082]

Portnoy was the heart of Dream Theater. Also I like it more when Myung played on the Yamaha.

[@m.rajaniemi3157]

3:55 when John puts his leg like that, you know something crazy shit is gonna happen

[@bulletxt]

Aaaa Portnoy, I miss you so much. Your drum sound is unique.

[@Ayieplaysdrum660]

yeah man same i miss portnoy to

[@carlosrobertoramirezfuente2524]

Portnoy's drums always sound unique, his musicality overshadows his technical skills, which are by themselves astonishing.

[@patrikterhorst]

I agreee

[@tristantheuerkorn777]

MP was part of DT's soul. He is some kind of pure drummer like Phil Collins. More musical (and more entertaining) than technical - but nonetheless technical. You know what I mean? Sorry for my English and I hope I made my point clear, the difference between MP and MM now. greetings from Germany!

[@davidj5439]

Ion Tudor Bernaz Yeah, Petrucci can shred, but he doesn't have the feel of Lil Wayne. He makes those two notes sound more than 10000.

[@lamkin9188]

C'mon guys, let's just stop the eternal debate about which kind of guitarist is better? The Lil' Wayne's or the John Petrucci's? They both have their own unique styles and are just as good in their own... yeah :|

[@loganhemphill-badger9855]

ahem RUSH IS BETTER

[@danielmadness1027]

Mahavishnu orchestra,but you might be right,Myung is defintwely better then the mhavishnu orchestra bass player,and petrucci is cleanr then mcluaghlin,but drummers are bare minimum equal,and violin player for mahavishnu is a total freak,both are absolute masters though regardless if one likes them"musiclly/style wise" or not.I would say Billy cobham is better drummer overall then Portnoy,though at that elite level theres little to argue over there all freaks lol.

[@aizatms]

Shane McCoy agreed. Would prefer this love of perfection and accuracy over flashy bullshit any day

[@themetalicious7195]

It's because of the audience. They are just standing there hearing and looking 👀

[@laoude7890]

@@Msruthi91 are you expecting people to mosh or headbang to dream theater? i have tried it, its hard .

[@Illbebacc]

Personally I don't mind "flashy bullshit" considering they're providing a show for the viewers. But I don't expect everyone to give a show because songs very in difficulty. This song probably takes all of their focus for how technical it is.

[@nailclippers_27]

The fact that Portnoy is rushing makes the solo at 4:01 even more impressive. Probably the some of the fastest and most accurate JP has ever played.

[@Legnica148]

It's fucking crazy how clean he played this, live, at this tempo. Peak Petrucci for sure.

[@lebannerfan65]

​@@Legnica148I remember this period well. He really was peaking on several levels during this tour and around this time. Check out the Toronto 2004 vids. In the name of god ending solo. Lie solo live. All impeccable, and better than on the album. I think Octavarium (the song, mostly) really brought it all together. That ending solo and entire section is among the most beautiful things they have ever written. Then they stopped renewing themselves imo, and it all became quite repetitive. No wonder Portnoy wanted them to take a break around that time...

[@johnbhai7147]

9:47 i could just fade away ... the level of eargasm is too ultimate. one of the best metal instrumentalist ever along with the master itself Opeth

Was listening to this, and forgot it was live... it sounds JUST like the studio, perfect and spot on

[@sansubr]

For Live DVDs, they get overdubbed and produced before they are released. That's why it sounds like the studio. I would love to hear what it actually sounded like live.

[@SuperCoon88]

DT makes playing super complex songs look easy... wait, no they don't, no matter who plays this, it will still look as hard as hell, because it is.

[@herutoto1751]

Such a beatiful instrumental

[@Kolossusofkraut]

I'm a man who has basic knowledge of music, so I encourage anyone to correct me if I'm wrong here, but I love how this song gives moments for each member to shine. Petrucci of course is a God in his own right, Myung lays down the lower melody keeping things rolling, Ruddess just effortlessly goes off on appagios like they're easy to do, and then Portnoy provides not only a beat but also a harmony/counter melody in his percussion. And it's easy listening when each thought flows into each other and hearing how each movement slowly morphs into another. This song just helps me relax and allows me to close my eyes and go into my happy place.

[@hallstewart]

Epic composition and playing. Simply remembering all the parts is a miracle.

[@samuellatupeirissa8641]

Live at budokan is still my favorite Dream Theater dvd

[@BernardoSardinhaPinto]

That guitar solo is almost impossible by itself. The fact that Petrucci manages to pull it off in this even faster tempo is mind-blowing.

[@JoaoNeto-um3ux]

This tour/album was the Pinnacle of the old Dream Theater from I&W onwards. With the following album they became a different band IMO. Many people like different phases of DT. This for me was the absolute best phase for them. Pure musicianship and zero gimmicks.

[@davelospinoso9022]

Agreed. MP cleaned up his drug problem, James healed up his throat, Jordan finally settled in....

[@Bangyourbirdnumb]

What drug problem???@@davelospinoso9022

Every time I listen to this song I imagine someone went back in time and gave a mission assignment to a classical composer, and said, "Here's the instruments they use in the future. Write something for them" and then this random classical composer sends this back.
