I think everything from 1:53 to 4:44 is one of the best phrases in prog-metal history. Everything, the chords, the notes, the solos, the drum fills. Each and every part of this section is absolutely everything great about prog-metal, in 2-3 mins.

[@kwm2136]

Indeed, and the first few minutes of that timespan would not be out of character on Marillion's Misplaced Childhood album.

[@animal6287]

It makes me cry, it's so emotional. Best bit of music ever written.

[@omeraktash]

I just can't stop from turning to 1:53 just listen to this section again and again and again. I agree with everything you said about that part. can't just express how it makes me feel but I am so addicted to that part :)

I agree. I don't like his more recent tones. And I think he'd sound better switching to Duncans over DiMarzios. He was using a Crunch Lab at this show. The best of the Petrucci pickups.

So glad I finally got some good headphones to listen to them on, but I will always remember being 14 and jamming out with some Skullcandy earbuds in my room listening to them while I spent hours drawing and chilling out.

[@warrenosborne1539]

From the perspective of a bass player since 66, I tell ya all, the drummer takes the show.

[@Smac2321]

Mike Portnoy is the standard by which most drummers judge themselves unworthy. Myself included.

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

From drummer perspective, Portnoy might not have the most advance technique out there, but his musicality alone is set him apart from others. He can make the most basic groove to be catchy as hell in the right time and the right place. Plus he knew what a good drum sounds like so combine both you'll get the most satisfying tune.
