Liquid Tension Experiment - When The Water Breaks - Full length version

My popular 2 part version has now been re uploaded in full length!

[@LindseyErstad]

This has been my favorite song since I was 5. My dad showed it to me then, and I have been obsessed since.

[@codekhalil6437]

best dad

[@geofreysander]

@@codekhalil6437 still my favorite song

[@YesPlease1]

It has been my favorite song since my mother's water broke

[@leandrogamarra3163]

You are since then, saved by the gods of metal.

[@HeavisideDelta]

Now that s parenting !

[@brazwen]

This song has one of the most epic outro.

[@spudboy1234]

Could listen to this over, and over, and over...

[@gentlecamel6745]

This song still amazes me after 16 years!! No words!

[@bojankotur4613]

16 years!? Fuck me time flies! I remember the first time I heard this like it was yesterday.

[@gentlecamel6745]

It does! I´m feeling old haha

[@0oOMaureenOo0]

Am I seeing an album cover from Eloy? yeeah lml Eloy-Ocean great album, greater band

[@HOLLOWOXDT1]

@@bojankotur4613 at that time this was probably the most technical stuff out there with planet x

[@wookieblaster]

So emotional, so powerful. Damn. I wish I could make my guitar sing like that...

[@pizzacastello]

It's a blessing when a song doesn't need vocals to become a unity. This is a true masterpiece.

[@willhorton4779]

This still stands at the top of my list of favorite instrumentals. Beautifully crafted! It's pretty mesmerizing what these guys can do!

[@awaken77]

11:00 my favorite part. Rudess trying Jon Lord's boots with groovy Hammond solo

[@pazmiki77]

awesome

[@willstokes123]

John's baby was born in the middle of recording the track, that's why there's a baby at the start

[@conan8258]

Thank for information, I didn't know that

[@Jmusicguitar]

solo at 3mins best petrucci solo ever

[@jksngtrs90]

I think he thinks so too. It's one solo that perfectly nails his signature style.

[@RevellAndRepend]

One of the best LTE songs imo, such a complete piece

[@marcoss6212]

I wish you were in NYC when saw them live, freaking fantastic!

[@meirelesgabriel]

Listening to this right now at the maternity. My baby was born yesterday and my wife reminded me of this song during labor time! How awesome is that?? 🤘❤️

[@RAPPPER4LIFE]

You have to have a great understanding of music to listen to this, that's what makes DT so amazing.

[@ladymadamblueberry]

This isn't DT though, it's Liquid Tension Experiment :-/

[@cameodamaneo]

Before anyone else puts their two cents worth in, let me give mine. It's Liquid Tension Experiment, which contains 3 members of Dream Theater and 1 that isn't. Sorry Tony Levin, you're not part of the club!

[@DarkSim64]

I disagree :P You need either: Great understanding of music or: Great taste in music I have no musical knowledge at all, but I prefer bands who make music that is out of the ordinary. Constant 4/4 tempo and a basic structure gets very predictable and boring after a while. Prog rock or metal does the exact opposite of "predictable music"

[@diboshroy1076]

Cameron Pearce well portnoy clearly stated that he would like non dt members... but dimebag who was his first choice was unavailable. steve morse and jim matheos were his other choices.. but they weren'ty available either . so he went with petrucci

[@cameodamaneo]

Dibosh Roy I get that. Then by share luck they convinced Jordan Rudess to join them in DT.

[@awaken77]

11:02 Rudess rarely plays Hammond, but when he does - it's fuckin awesome!

[@jimmessina]

that part is very pink floyd

[@simo2805]

@@jimmessina I would say very Deep Purple-like. And it's actually amazing

4:13 my favorite part of the entire song, I don’t know what it is about that part but it’s so uplifting & atmospheric

[@Fischstix95]

thats that newscaster intro shit

[@WilliamJacobsenMusic]

I thought writing a 13 minute instrumental would be too much, but this shows it's not. Thanks! :)

[@Orikinawa]

Just discovered this song. I consider all the things I've done in life until now meaningless. Simply magnificient.

[@Kalkheras]

This is the best Liquid Tension song...its so freakin amazing

[@timmygultom6124]

MASTERPIECE

[@Cola96K]

Wouldn't surprise me. John Pet is a huge Rush fan

[@Rockwillliveon-lu1tk]

He has stated on multiple occasions that Rush is his favorite band!!

Best instrumental song!

[@leslibiesman1453]

What about "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush?

[@UndoneFakeJesu]

This is still better

[@humanimal5527]

I mean they're very different songs. This is more of a shredfest.

[@bave8927]

la villa is hard to beat... im gonna just say i like both and leave it at that. no competition here.

[@NewhamMatt]

I'm more of a "Kindred Spirits" or "Universal Minds" person myself, although my preference to those songs is kind of like preferring St Paul to St Peter.

[@creatinovic]

10:11 god this note. so beautiful

[@lukeschofield4213]

Holy hell i love this tune.

[@rubense4459]

Best song ever composed?

[@KyleJPie10]

My assumption is it is supposed to represent the chaos of... well... when the water breaks.

[@lifeisprog449]

16:49 That sounds like the show ends, the curtains fall and it was all just a theatre play. While this little segment sounds, all the people are leaving the theatre while members of the staff say to them : "Goodybe Mr, goodbye Ms, thank you for coming" but all of a sudden, the theatre explodes and a nano nucleonic cyborg summoning starts which ends in the eradication of the 80% of world's human population and the beginning of The New World Algae Order where human societies that survived are controlled with helmets with circuits made of Algae, Phytoplankton and Chlorophyll so after conducting oxygenic photosynthesis they create enough energy to keep the energy flowing through the circuits and being able to leave the human in a catatonic state of mind in which he becomes a slave from his thoughts and the executioner of his own soul... at least that's what i understood from that part.

[@kevinorbis9586]

Exactly what I thought!

[@sickofyou4408]

Took the words straight from my mouth

[@JBlinky67]

Dec 2020 and I still listen to this constantly. What is it... 20 years old? Round and round forever, I guess. Well, on my phone, but you get it.

[@horrifficlyterrific]

After all this time, I still find it amazing they recorded experiment 1&2 in less than 2 weeks.... amazing!

[@musicomaniac62]

That troll at the end ! :D So good !

[@9lc978]

One of my favorite songs to play.

[@user-gm7kw2qb2c]

absolutely amazing........................................ Jazz, Progressive, Fusion, Metal, Hard Rock, Blues + Pink Floyd

[@jasunkarner3916]

The groove that starts at 10:48 reminds me a lot of "The Other One" by The Grateful Dead. The Grateful Dead is an unlikely, ridiculous even, association when comes to the work of LTE and Dream Theater. I'm sure it was completely accidental. The groove is somewhat unique, but still something any common artist might eventually stumble upon. Also, I've never heard any of these guys mention the Grateful Dead as an influence, and their sound definitely backs that up. But they are obviously about as well-rounded as it gets and extremely studied, so who knows? Anyways, thought I'd just point it out. LTE rules! 🤘🤘

[@Ihsan2086]

It's a been long time not listening this tunes..

[@PulseSK]

8:09 Progressive equivalent of dubstep drop. Hell yeah!

[@HOLLOWOXDT1]

that drumm solo at 4:50 is seriously the best solo portnoy have ever created . what's with people calling him overrated . 99% of them were at least kids in 1999 if not even born . jeez

I remember discovering Acid Rain over a decade ago and just listening to it on loop for hour after hour on end - yet somehow it's taken me all this time to listen to a full length set by LTE. WHY?! Why did it take me so long?! This is beautiful, glorious, listening *gold*

This is the kind of music that keeps me focused, gives me something to think about, while I study boring monotonous text books.

12:50 to the end of the track might be my favorite piece of instrumental prog ever. Besides possibly the vamp section in BTBAM’s Swim to the Moon.
