For those of you who don't know, the arranger of this cover (Eren Başbuğ) was invited by Dream Theater to conduct and arrange the string sections of False Awakening Suite and Illumination Theory from the new album. I'd say that's pretty awesome of the guys to acknowledge this kind of stuff.

i love how every one is dressed really uptight and there's the violinist wearing a dream theater t-shirt

[@Mattseak]

Give a break to the drummer. It is not very easy to play all that stuff so lightly and "silently" as he did for not overpowering the rest of the orchestra.

[@KLTrainz]

Considering Rudess uses a full length fingerboard which is around 5ft long, and this guy used a 10" iPad, he had to keep pressing buttons to change octaves, gotta give him more credit!

You the real MVP, girl in the audience singing along.

I was in this concert with my family, in Izmir, Turkey, approx. 10 years ago. Luckily one of my friends informed me about this concert, I did not pay attention at first, then I noticed that the band was going to play one of the most widely known songs from Dream Theater, at this moment everything has changed. The concert was extremely excellent in total, I consider myself so lucky to listen to this unbelievable band playing this amazing song with my own ears! Including Eren Basbug, who is such a talented man, all other players played their parts wonderful. This concert, especially this song, was an excellent one took place in Izmir. I will never forget this experience!

the main melody of this song is one of the best and most emotional melodies in music history

[@Tytanized]

The girl singing along in the audience is the real MVP

I was in here,i heard every single note so clear....What a wonderfull Cover...

[@MAGAMAN]

It's amazing how well this holds up without vocals.

[@selbi182]

I am beyond speechless. There was not a single mistake or slip-up to notice, and I know the original Octavarium by heart. Amazing job!

Burada bir türk'ün inanılmaz bir emeği var ve yorumların %90 ı yabancı. Böyle güzel bir çalışmaya Dream Theater coverleri arasında gezinirken rastlıyorum ve ülkemde böyle bir sanatçının tanıtımına hiç rastlamadım. İşte canım ülkem

[@thingamajiggirl]

When they whisper 'this', gives me chills!
