Dream Theater- Under A Glass Moon- Merriam Theater Philadelphia, PA 11-19-17

[@farizmaulana2543]

You know what guys ? He performed as a singer since 90's till nowdays.. nobody in this earth could maintaining the vocal range as perfect as they are in their gold era.. Time to respect

[@mleite1]

are u sure nobody could maintain the vocal range as good as before?

[@ericedmunds9488]

Russell Allen can but they didn’t tour nearly as much! Years of touring will kick your ass!! Even weeks of touring will.

[@Zero-xy8bs]

@@mleite1 Yes

[@infini6768]

​@@mleite1yes

[@infini6768]

​@@mleite1people dont realize how high is James Labrie style of singing even Dio or Dickinson don't go that high. John Arch from Fates Warning still can sing but he didnt have the number of live stage that dream thearer has and he stop he career 30 years before his return

[@Beefnhammer]

In my opinion this is the most difficult DT song to sing. Everyone talks about the F# in Learning to Live, which, difficult as it is, is a single note. You either hit it or you don't. But this song is a roller coaster of scales spanning almost 2 full octaves. As great as the song is, it should have been retired from live shows long before 2017.

[@ScarSonic97]

The scale climb though is just as hard as hitting the actual F# note imo. I generally agree though. This song is definitely in their top 5 of difficulty for a vocalist

[@Cotramjoxxx]

I agree with the F# note point, anyway I think "The Killing Hand" (Live at the Marquee) is his most difficult song in vocals.

[@branlopgar]

The thing is, the song and specially the guitar solo are a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Not a chance in hell they're retiring either Under A Glass Moon or Metropolis Pt. 1 anytime soon, even when they're clearly songs that LaBrie can only nail on a particularly good night. Plus, the dude is almost 60. If his vocal injury in 1995 didn't screw his voice over, age would have done the job anyway.

[@reactions4u438]

damn, imagine if they kept the song in the same octave. James would've passed out

[@A1000-b9s]

*Key

[@oldchanel3956]

Amazing audio quality!!

[@rg7cstodd]

Dan Davidson I was lucky- if you look at the bottom of the screen, I had a crowd-facing floor monitor right in front of me.

[@ieetemos4breakfast]

When it comes to this song live, you can’t beat the version from the SCORE DVD

[@thelapander]

I feel bad for the singer these songs are just out of his reach. They need to drop it down for him

[@lukewoodison6115]

Worst part is they already have tuned down to D instead of E for most of their early songs now

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

They did.

[@travis8180]

They tune more than a step now...

[@tylerwachtel]

hard part is for the keyboard to transcribe aswell cause different notes means different keys.

[@connorcolucci]

this was the greatest day of my life! Life-changing experience!

[@zothanzualachhangte3416]

Jp 16 is the most under rated John Petrucci Signature guitar...

[@soyanchd5439]

Give labrie a break, dude is a legend. No one ever couldn’t-keep singing like he died for almost 40 years. Be thankful we get to see them live after all this time

[@SystematiCChaoSDT1]

No james no dream theater!! Love u james!!!!!

[@michaelaldryan9900]

4:40 - 5:40 what a masterpiece.. JP🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@hamidyeganeh7340]

You call this master piece.....oooh....i'm so sory you must hear this in 90eens😊✋😘

[@lilblinder11]

the vocal changed so much and im dying hahahaha

[@WeCube1898]

Rob HALFORD of Judas Priest aged better , his voice added some raspiness but much better sounding

[@aguanteedguy]

@@WeCube1898 Halford has better technique than James, thats why hes still nailing it.

[@erichlizardy]

maybe because of the age factor, so that his vocal power decreases. if you look at the old video you will see the difference. respect to DREAM THEATER

[@lemwon]

Does anyone know what lights are these? The ones that have multiple bulbs arranged in a line. Then the three bars are on a motor and three of them are mounted on a polee. Can anyone identify these? They start strobing at 6:27

[@christiangibbs391]

Does anyone have MJK's number? 😎✌️🤠🕺😁

[@axljohnamora7324]

Maybe because this song from 1992 was very high. I remember a live video recording of bon Jovi, he sings the way like labrie is singing now, cannot reach the high notes even if they transposed it a bit lower than the original. It triggers cringe but hearing them sound like a distressed cat makes me cry... We can understand that the human voice can't stay as good as the way insruments sound especially when the singer is getting Old.

[@j.d.harvis9184]

James James James... Where's the lamb sauce!!!?? It's RAW!

[@brentj.peterson6070]

Gotta give James credit for trying to do this in it's original key. Not easy.

[@anishmaddipatla3530]

its actually 1/2 step lower in this vid

[@WeCube1898]

Petrucci doing back up vocals whilst lead .. Awesome ... LaBrie lost power in his voice ...

[@branlopgar]

Of course he did. He was 26 when he sang it originally, and he's 53 in this video. 27 years can and will take a toll in your voice, specially with how hard is their touring schedule

[@Xico380]

fodaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@ajiwonogiri3093]

Oh my god.. They was going old now.. 😢

[@anthemgunaether2914]

Just get a new singer. I don't see why JLB can't step down? If John Petrucci lost his arm, they would replace him AND he would understand. James LaBrie has LOST his voice so just replace the guy already. It's such an embarrassment.

[@joshfreedman9695]

Its unbelievable they still keep him! I know they're like family, but you have to be professional!

[@ramarimara3853]

Bang kumis jenggot di cukur , nnti jadi sarang Gonggo haha

[@daphenomenalz4100]

Pls don't ever say like that about John

[@tadeashoppe6117]

same case with Dave Mustane. But it´s best to enjoy his voice while he´s still with us.

[@mattthemetalguitarist]

Nah dude, I'm going to have to disagree. He may not be as good as he used to be, but he loves what he does. When I'm old (I'm 14 right now), I know I won't be as good as I once was, but I'm gonna keep playing, even if I'm not as good as I used to have been. Another example, Lars Ulrich. Yes, he does kind of suck, but he loves to drum and he's still doing it.

[@gerizeeell5997]

Its a cover song with petrucci 😅

[@wynMurdika]

james old & young so different

[@erichlizardy]

RESPECT DREAM THEATER. LEGEND. 🤘🤘 maybe because of the age factor, so that the quality of the vocals decreased. if you look at the old video you will see the difference.

[@AdhidaZ]

Easy song for mangini..😁

[@romankrhounek5974]

I can live with james like this lol not any worse though

[@kingleung3868]

the song is better without vocal

[@afuidrummerofficial]

Thats true

[@JPNV]

Nah! The original vocals are awesome!

[@paulgilbert3139]

It's sounds like someone sing this song at karaoke 😂

[@SWBaek117]

At least he is trying...

[@sonicmaiden]

Boy he sounds rough. Pitchy. It's almost as bad as Vince Neil. His dictation is just not good.

[@MarcoJarzombek]

Creo que Hasta tuvieron que bajar la canción una nota abajo para que James lograra los agudos, pero aún así no sabe cantar ya xD

[@MaidenAndres17]

No es que no sepa solo que no llega. La bajaron un tono y ni asi.

[@hamidyeganeh7340]

Singing is so bad ,when you hrear this song in the the past you realy enjoy the whole fonction of group but in this concert😭✋.....why😭😢😢😢😢😢

[@alexandreeng_]

LOOKS like that the band lost the passion to play.. you can see how they are playing nowadays

[@MattKittredge2112]

Well, they are all in their 50's (and 60's) now, and in order to keep playing such technical music, it requires a lot more focus. I saw the show in Baltimore, and they were amazing.

[@alexandreeng_]

matt k good news to hear mate!

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Alexandre Bandeira Yeah....looks like they “don’t appreciate performing” at all 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@WeCube1898]

Myung and Petrucci still rocking it ... Specially in the all instruments pieces ...

[@thiagotecnico]

Passion = Portnoy

[@SamSoulTrop]

You made my ears bleed, James...

[@Spivonious]

It's time for Labrie to retire. This is painful.

[@NikoCastagnetto]

If I were DT here, I would prefer not to play the song and that's it. No one is enoying, neither the public nor the band.

[@DanyAguilar]

oh man the volcals... just why

[@reginaldstampe3753]

It's a joke........The singing is awful

[@nathanvance2648]

réginald Stampe dude they're in their 50s they're not gonna sound amazing forever

[@heyyitsRJ]

They're playing in a lower key too. At least he's trying lol

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

réginald Stampe the musicianship is there, always has AND WILL BE unless someone pulls a Rick Allen. Vocal wise....ehh

[@mattthemetalguitarist]

Don't complain because they aren't perfect, and they're not exactly in their prime. Be glad that they're still able to perform for us while they can.

[@Innuband]

Instead of changing drummer and keyboardist, they should SERIOUSLY consider changing vocalist! LaBrie's performance is scandalous!

[@ArpeggioPegasusMusic]

This whole show, which was meant to celebrate Images and Words' 25th anniversary, features songs from the album played in D instead of E, meaning they had already dropped the tuning one full octave, yet James is clearly struggling here... I really feel bad for him.

[@FriedMetroid]

I know this comment is a year old but E to D is a step, nowhere near an octave

[@lihatjalanan1979]

maybe the band need to transpose the key lower

[@azimthor5073]

He played that song easy. I played awful

[@jrk10]

This song is a nightmare to learn I swear 😂

[@apphorozeinlamin5259]

I can beat labrie here.😂

[@seafandthedrum5825]

Untuk yg ini masih bagus mike portnoy

[@zarotmenez8765]

Jujur saya lebih suka sm drumer nya myke porthnoy di banding magine..porthnoy skil perfomance jauh bgt dng magini ...trus vocalis nya skrg udh berkurang nada nya di kurang kurang bgtu..mungkin sudah tua

[@matthias7534]

3:18 omg those vocals are so bad. James gtfo dream theater.

[@riyanizalafsanzani2835]

Avarage drummer😏

[@t3hgir]

not average, it's Mike Mangini, technically a wizard. I prefer Portnoy's feel though. @ 0:31 Who cares that you can hit the 4 snare hits with one hand in the intro? No one cares because it sounds like shit compared to Mike Portnoy just playing the basic drum part with two hands actually hitting the drum with some power.

[@brentj.peterson6070]

average speller

[@basse.r]

@@t3hgir thought the same... love mangini, but come on. Play the roll with both hands so we can hear it. Everyone knows that he is fast...

[@B00STICLES]

​@@t3hgirdude fr at least we got portnoy back

Mike Mangini 👎 Mike Portnoy 👍👌🤘

Wow such an inclusive DT fan really making us look good out here...

[@ramarimara3853]

Kebanyakan really lu bang haha

[@stefandobrev2238]

Mangini can play all the songs from the Portnoy era. That, at the very least, makes Manguni equal ground as Portnoy.

[@ramarimara3853]

@@stefandobrev2238 tapi tetep aja Bambang soul nya beda Ama Portnoy . Dream theater yang sekarang terlalu rumit , susah untuk angguk angguk kepala bareng . Coba aja Lo dengerin Bambang Stefan .😂😂😂
