Dream Theater -

[@awaken77]

Sherinian was underrated in DT, he is a killer player, listen to his other work in Planet-X and Sons of Apollo. He uses guitar player approach to keyboard, with adding lots of pitch bend and modulations, like guitarists do (one of his main influences was Van Halen). Interesting that he teamed up with Portnoy again in Sons of Apollo

[@マシュードーラン]

He really is an absolute monster and Planet X is still the most complex instrumental music I’ve ever come across. I prefer him to Jordan any day

[@gasparinacunha334]

Truth

[@awaken77]

​@@マシュードーラン I do love Planet-X, one of the best in instrumental jazz-rock/metal fusion category

[@pinkberry50]

Love how you can hear every note of Myung's bass.

[@metaloenformol]

ikr ... his technician must be even more of a shut in

[@Cubebass]

BEST KEYBOARD RIFF AND BASS LINE EVER!!

[@jlToolfan]

Decent quality footage of DT from the mid '90s! It's a miracle!

[@robonez]

Sherinian Rules ! ! ! His solo-records are all brilliant, and have some of the very finest guitarplayers out there on'em!

[@Intect2013]

LaBrie's best times

[@3allz]

And even then, its pretty average.

[@Sexton_blake93]

3allz actually, this is the first show he performed with his vocal injury. The shows he did 1992-1994 were great.

[@isitrealgood]

How do you figure it's "pretty average"? It's a shame LaBrie wasn't 100 percent during the "Awake" touring, because it probably hurt him in future efforts, he's still pretty powerful even in this show.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

It's funny that Derek Sherinian was the only member of DT that had short hair unlike the others who all had really long hair but at the same time he brought so much power and muscle to the music, he was without a doubt the most flamboyant keyboard player they ever had and incredibly explosive on stage.

[@santyrush]

Derek is a master of the music. I like

[@scottheins]

The loose grooviness of the Sherinian days remains my favorite DT sound. Falling Into Infinity may have been a rough experience for the band, but they clearly were living it up on tour.

[@258lemons]

This is incredible. In my humble opinion, the best line up of Dream Theater!!

[@Jeffkingson]

With Sherinian, Dream Theater was so powerful and groovy. Those were the good old times.

[@cacciatorezaccaria1629]

Derek💪💪🖤

[@gringochucha]

Back when Dream Theater was still making music instead of just sticking riffs together.

[@yungtwiz]

How was this written 11 years ago when Dream Theater was still putting out massive fucking bangers

[@Thebullshitdebunker]

@@yungtwiz Sort of predicted the future, didn't he? Don't get me wrong, I love all eras of Dream Theater, but the criticism is valid. Early DT was more about the song as a whole, while later DT focused on the album as a whole.

[@akakig]

I miss this snare sound and rawpower. somebody tell Mangini to replace his snares!

[@tobinwasabi]

Yes

[@DerekHundik]

Mangini is boring and he needs step ladder to reach the snare

[@mrsuds327]

Pearl reference snares are 21 ply...it chokes the life out of the drum

[@rushxanthemtcg5607]

@@mrsuds327 no it doesnt dumb ass. Also mangini uses reference pure which have 6 plies. They are extremely resonant. It's his tuning and mixing which is suspect

[@mrsuds327]

Sorry, I’m not up to date on Reference series drums. The one I saw was extremely thick...the guy was going on about how many plies it had, it weighed a ton! I thought that was why the snare sounded choked...thanks for the correction

[@Toddzilla1967]

My favorite JP guitar, too.

[@TheGreyMaster]

Wow Derek' s solo is great!

[@Annulable]

AUDIBLE BASS, it is a miracle.

[@souzaef]

The best track on awake!!!!!!

[@passionknigh]

He blew out his voice from food poisoning during the Japan leg of the Awake tour, his voice only started to regain it's early strength during the SDoIT tour.

[@glasgowkiss7]

La mejor época de DT, Portnoy

[@Maysticha]

Essa banda melhora o astral de qualquer um.

[@michaeln2097]

Back when they made great music more understood by the masses rather then today doing such complicated stuff only a few really understand. Not sure who they are trying to please. As a trained musician it is amazing what they do, but the average person...this is the stuff old dream theater fans enjoy I think more and can relate to much better. I saw them with Derek and he was amazing. Jordan is great as well.

[@goodygoody23]

the guys in Dream Theater are extremely jacked, both physically and musically

[@kurzyroly]

in this live he use the roland jd 800 ..korg organ and korg piano..after he change setup with 2 trinity keyboard(2 or 3 rack 01 and wavestation)and finally korg triton.

[@danudamarjati5487]

What a great!

[@rogueshadow12]

amazing performance btw

[@cartfab]

Back, when D.T. revolutioning music...

[@spunky221]

about not hearing Derek, yeah i get the same thing when i play keyboards at shows. the sound guy *always* turns the keyboards down (even more during solos). i was beginning to think it was because i sucked but if he's turning Derek down then it must be that sound guys hate keyboards.

[@prog4evr]

Indeed...

[@AK4769er]

Kick arse song!

[@111ElLobo]

Very cool look into the minds of some awesome dudes. I'd like to see what else you have hidden from us, good sir!

[@rebel1766]

0:52 : what a kickass bass line!

[@striderscanner]

Vocals from studio version of this song or from Caught In A Web or Pull Me Under are f*****g epic! The best from all LaBrie's work. Af course I also love his singing on Scenes From A Memory or Octavarium.

[@GUSTAVTT]

vamo de DREAM FUCKING THEATER hj ne cara, chega de ouvir musia ruima semana toda desses vizinho

[@robertovocalist]

This is the real DT. Ok, everything changes, but nowadays their sound means something artificial (my opinion).

[@robertbrors5823]

It's the same for me - artificial - good description of their todays style.

[@DaveMuller]

I loved the Derek years

[@kingcrimson234]

I know exactly what you mean and agree 100%.

[@Cell_Madruga]

Yes, today their sound is artificial, but I like the fact that they aged relatively well compared to another bands

Great to see Derek playing with Dream Theater by that time! Too bad the keyboard solo is drowning under the sound mix in this live video, though.

[@scarred2112]

Kevin announced his departure from the band while they were *still* in the studio finishing "Awake" - he never did any live shows after the various legs of the "I&W" tour.

[@destructionman1]

so much better than Luna Park

I may be wrong, but from top to bottom you can see a Korg CX 3 (organ), Roland JD-800 (Moore used it too) and an Oberheim stage piano

Of course, it's an Amazing song. I just wish they would play it live. But i think it will never happen (unless if Kevin decides to come back to play a show again)

[@druidmeats]

My god! The band looks like they’re actually having fun! Not so fucking trapped to the rhythms and playing too complicated shit! It looks like this might of been the peak in my opinion. I much rather Mike Portnoy on drums and this guy on Keyboard. If i’m not mistaken, and correct me if i am, he’s the guy who played before their current Keyboard player. Don’t get me wrong I love them both but for completely different reasons.

[@vanjamilosevic6937]

4:16 do you think he did that perfect sixth on purpose or that was a happy accident

[@pagedown6310]

They have derek's keyboard even lower than kevin's was on the album. Cant even hear the keyboard solo lol
