Symphony X - The Odyssey FULL SONG LIVE in HD

Symphony X plays the epic song "The Odyssey" from their album of the same name 11 May 2011 at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ.

[@MoonsideResident]

One of the most underrated bands on earth.

[@giannim7222]

The truth has been spoken

[@Gargentor]

Indeed.

[@mengeleto11]

Cause the most people like electronic shit, instead of this beautiful music!

[@MadaraUchiha-sp3jh]

Gianni Micucci On universe

[@wrathchildhood]

only true thing in the world

[@emicyber]

This song recorded with an complete symphonic orchestra and released on a DVD would be one of the best moments of prog. Just as Dream Theater's Octavarium in 2006 on Score DVD, it would reach the same level of epicness.

[@migueltrapezaris6437]

Michael Pinella could like, chill in a corner or something I guess.

[@emicyber]

Miguel Trapezaris Not really, they use orchestral samples in this video and that makes some parts sound poor or "hollow" like something is missing. With a live orchestra, he can emphazise in his piano/keyboard parts, add more arrangements and make the band sound richer.

[@symphonyofspeed3896]

That would be incredible. Someone should start a crowd funding campaign to make it happen.

[@brunohpc979]

the closest to that is Riciotti Emsemble

[@TheBushwooky]

These guys should really release a concert DVD

[@DamZZmaD]

+TheBushwooky They won't release a DVD, they won't release a Blu-Ray... Not enough people to buy it :\If they produce a Blu-Ray, the rip will uploaded on KZbin a few hours/days after...Hard times for professional musicians like SX...

[@michaelahammer5852]

+DamZZmaD Any reason you've ever heard why they haven't done a kickstarter or something like that to get the funding for it? They don't HAVE to front everything if the fans want it badly enough, right?

[@AllegroDigital]

Probably because they're contracted with a label, not independent.

[@idlaberynth]

Long overdue for one, for sure.

[@bitflux2]

that fucking sucks, i will pay anything for a blu ray symphony x!

[@supermeuhmeuh]

this performance is so flawless even the lighting engineer is rocking it

[@ZFlyingVLover]

Romeo is so good it's insane

[@palonazo]

I just don't get why this guys aren't a band, at least, half as rich as Dream Theater... I just don't get it. I've been listening to them for at least 15 years and they're still somewhat underground.

[@johnramsey7706]

Probably because Dream Theater has John Petrucci, Mike Mangini, and Jordan Rudess..3 musicians who are...in themselves...GLOBAL BRANDS!!

[@palonazo]

@@johnramsey7706 As in they knew how to become a product at the right time? I know Symphony X simply refuses to make anything beyond their music. Imagine where they'd be if they did end up accepting to play with an orchestra when it wasn't too late for them.

[@johnramsey7706]

@@palonazo But..as you know like I do.....out of sight out of mind!! Romeo..as the face of the band...needs to learn how to market himself. Petrucci is the face of Music Man guitars...for one example. Who's the face of Caparison Guitars...Courtney Cox!! That's just one example of many I could list. Am I making a point?

[@palonazo]

@@johnramsey7706 Of course, but it feels like he's so old school that he doesn't want to promote himself in that way. Like he would be considered a poser. I think it's stupid and it's too late for them now.

[@brunofunnie]

I really don't know if they care about being rich that much. They actually earn a lot of money already, of course not as much as DT, but anyways, also maybe they have much more free time to enjoy the life than DT guys since SX are not always making ads, marketing and that kind of stuff.

[@TheAtckenny]

Seen them live four or five times. First time I saw them was in 01, and I'm the jerk in Chicago that grabbed the set list and wrote 'divine wings of tragedy' in as their closer and put it back. Best moment though was I saw them on Romeo's Birthday. They got a DQ cake for him nextdoor and everything. He got a little bit tipsy. In between songs... Somebody yelled "Romeo is God!" He walks up to the mic and said "No, I'm not God. I'm just a fat guy." At that moment, a lifelong fan was born.

[@francoistouchette4954]

Considering the talent and intensity level of Symphony X's compositions... Yes, Lolll! I would say that "godlike" is appropriate!!😁👌

[@TheXenProject]

God bless this cameraguy for focusing on what's important at the right time!

[@marcosalbornoz1803]

top five the best song am listened in my life.

[@HarryAlvarez]

I'm never going to forget my first Symphony X concert in Colombia, after their break they close with The Odyssey, just amazing !

[@amneezywing1281]

My band got to open for these guys that night, met em all backstage, easily one the best shows we had the privilege of playing

[@jmcruz5385]

+Amneezy Wing how were the guys from X backstage? :)

[@meta1ky0]

Why does this song lasts only 24 minutes? I would listen it if it was 1 hour long. One of the best songs ever made, and one of my favourites

[@MadaraUchiha-sp3jh]

Alexey Metalkyo Ikr

[@tommasogiannelli6009]

Because 24 are the chapters of the Odyssey by Homer 😏

[@DemonmachinE]

TRIUMPHANT!

[@vinimartins9552]

...champion of Ithaca!

[@MadaraUchiha-sp3jh]

I will right all the wrongs Let the gods sing my song TRIUMPHANT - CHAMPION OF ITHACA! Let a new life begin This is the end of my ODYSSEY!!! This is so divinely brilliant, a true masterpiece!

[@noelallenbose972]

Champion of Ithaca!!!

[@DolchiO07]

Just imagine this song being played in somewhere like the Royal Albert Hall with a full orchestra in support. It's such an awesome song, it deserves that chance.

[@joef1639]

very short song......... yet magical piece and they got the right title for the right music... this music reminds me of Christopher Columbus or Magellan exploring the world.. this piece ROCKS!!!

[@bazinko]

I just realized halfway through this video that i was actually at this show! Lmao. Can’t wait to see them again in 2022!!

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

One of the best compositions in metal music by far... lot's of John Williams/Star Wars influence in there.

[@mr.lysergic3240]

Alexander Joshua Davis dream theater mate

[@MadaraUchiha-sp3jh]

Correction: one of the best music compositions ever.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

+ Felipe Ferreira Well, let's not go nuts.

[@NewFoundVision]

And again to say that Russell Allen is the absolutely best singer in the world. No one can match him and although getting older he still reaches the high notes perfectly. What a voice, what a register... He can sing every song in the world. He has the most emotional voice when it comes to ballads and a very raw and powerful voice in the harder tracks or passages. My deepest respect to this guy for fascinating me after all those years.

[@taylorpearcy319]

Blood runs foreveeeeeeer from the EYE!! Chills. Every time

[@Raphael_BR]

Only this song, worth the whole album. Greeting from Brazil !

[@guillermoalvarado2877]

Why Symphony never realesed a live DVD?? I've seen them live, but me being from Guatemala is unlikely to see'em again... I need a DVD!!! Please!!! Also would like that they get a 2nd guitarrist for concerts!! Would give'em more power!!! Sound great thou!!

[@TheBushwooky]

+LAYKOZ A Symphony X Version of S & M would be amazing...I would buy that in a heartbeat.

[@DonDiegoDellaVegas]

+Guillermo Alvarado i aggree 1oo%

[@TheSnareguitar]

Russell is a BEAST!

[@leohuang9014]

This is fucking great! One of my favorite song. Hope I could see this live in my life.

[@danithenazgul760]

12 sirens killed by Odysseus pressed unlike button

[@ronaldmoracastillo]

Actually, this is THE only song you need to hear, period.

[@necroplastful]

The crowd is really awesome.

[@Rockboss1987]

How the hell can you 'NOT LIKE" such an incredible song !

[@Videoferz]

Michael Romeo has a breathtaking technique I do not know where he spells all these technical complications set it makes this group is fantastic and what amazing vocalist Michael Romeo a une technique a couper le souffle je ne sais pas d'ou il sorts toute ces complications technique mis il les fait ce groupe est fantastic et quel vocaliste amazing

[@bernardovera611]

Cuando los vi en chile... Empezaron con este tema... Tremendo... Nunca imaginé que lo tocaran, y mas encima el primer tema.... La entrada pagada los primeros 30 min... Que bandaza... Dios....

[@christianbill9402]

Had the privilégie to saw them live during the european leg of the of the odissey tour and the Open the saw with the track odyssee , and believe me it was note per note the CD ,,, and Russel killed ! Succes deserve and long live to them ! 🇫🇷

[@Victor-pv5sc]

Best song ever written, period.

[@bcbitchkkv]

Top 3 alongside The Great Escape (Seventh Wonder, 31 min) and A Change of Seasons (Dream Theater, 23 min) imo, and I cannot separate them

[@bramjanssen-ros4858]

Amazing. What a performance... love them all but Russell..... best live singer I ever saw! Thx for sharing this

[@14Yorker14]

This is so perfect it's actually hard to fathom.

[@GeorgeGreavesGuitar7]

I love michael romeo! And Rusesel Allen!! And this song!!!

Incredible. 25 minutes, not one second of chance for good music was wasted.

[@wolfgange63]

They really should do this with an orchestra and make a DVD!!

[@RobLundgren]

Hi guys! If you like this you are most welcome to come sing along, have fun with my live vocal covers. Cya! :)

[@daniellira5549]

Rob Lundgren Live Vocals you should do this one, man! Greetings from Brazil.

[@noelallenbose972]

Wow, love your band bro!

[@milonkill]

@ZachValkyrie A heart of gold...pumps within his metal skin...a noble line he carries on....*teardrop*

[@henkmeutstege5114]

I need a live DVD from Symphony X!!! So far the only good footage of Russell his collab with Star One - Live on Earth. He's at the top of his game in that!

[@jimtheedcguy4313]

Romeo is a robot... With a soul... And those pipes on Russell Allen!! I need to see these guys live before I die!

[@MykolaMarkowycz]

If it comes to the last Symphony X tour, I hope they bring this back as their encore.

[@hanspflugner2191]

This song may call itself song of the century.

[@FacundoSS_Guitarist]

thanks for all the powerful music here... it opens my mind and my soul to the happiness

[@Mazen39]

at 9:41...I like the sound of the guitar when he only used his fingers like tapping...it gave the sound a special effect and at 10:42 gr8 effect of guitar it makes the song even more epic...I loveeeeee that video

[@SugarForceDownfall]

man .. I cried the whole song .... this song is fucking epic ... I really felt like I was there

[@InfinnacageMusic]

Love the crowd's energy.

[@nimahedayati]

wow, I didn't think it was possible to perform this epic masterpiece live. These guys truly are gods

[@francoistouchette4954]

😉

[@FranzBrehme]

How I miss a live concert! Symphony X is one of the best Prog Metal Bands on Earth! And that video shows why!

[@tomraspanti2755]

It is just so much fun to hear how these guys arrange their complex pieces like this one live. They do it soooooo well.

[@gianlucca4859]

I cant die if I dont go to a symphony x concert and they play this song I just simply CANT

[@uma7d]

This is the most epic perfomance EVER

[@carlosestebangil]

Best band of all times! Romeo + Allen = best guitar player / compositor + best vocalist ♥

[@Kiaxiou]

I remember when they came to Puerto Rico and we asked for oddessy the first thing they say to us we have big cojones, being near the stage at 1am singing this song at the top of my lungs, best experience I had

[@jaimemedina6430]

Where do these guys get inspiration to compose as they do man😳😳😵‍💫😵‍💫 fuck. The very best I’ve heard 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@francoistouchette4954]

Symphony X Forever!!! ❤✌️

[@JanicMilan]

the feeling they are having fun alongside with the audience, and that they would have been there even if they didn't play...

[@HipHopAn0n]

Symphony X is so awesome that they actually play a song live that's over 20 minutes.

[@Mistakenenemy]

Straight from heaven 🎁🙏

[@jah574]

Thanks for this live version. I like the fact that the audience is louder, they sang it knowing every word! What a great compliment to such a great band!

[@CvnDqnrU]

Seriously, man. This is the best.

[@albbiekellessa]

So bloody epic. My favorite song ever! And my aunt was in the back of that room selling merchandise... I'm so proud.

[@Cobfan990]

I wish soo bad Symphony X would go back to this style of music!

[@evracer]

Unreal that these guys can pull this off this well live....

[@SoldierOfNorway]

Many thanks for the upload!

[@FernandoPezoFonseca]

One of the best songs i ever ear!! ...Symphony X please make a LIVE DVD (bluray) !!!

[@danceofeternity3824]

One of the best 20min songs out there today...

[@Raqsonu]

Masterpiece. Indeed.

[@qrotagoras]

What an awesome vocalist they have! And the composer from Romero is so talented... If he didn’t fake at concerts, he wouldn’t have a price ;-)

[@bcbitchkkv]

Romeo "fakes"? (4:40)

[@boxfreak007]

BEST. BAND. EVER.

[@supermeuhmeuh]

This is definitely the best thing I've ever seen in my life

[@aleciano.junior]

Thank you!! I love this music!! Symphony X is awesome

[@CoTeCiOMusicDivision]

That's the magic of being there, the emotion! Personally, I'd sing along to the entire song if I ever hear it live!

[@1thesymphony]

ayyyyyyyyyy weeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy hasta se me puso la piel chinita cuando empezo a cantar Russell, ojala la toquen en Mexico!!!

[@Konderosa]

Oh god, what a performance! Gave me the chills. Great audience too! TRIUMPHANT, CHAMPION OF ITHACA!!! 5/5

[@murilodude]

Man, I clapped my hands, here , too, . So epic. Thanks for the upload!

[@SaloMikael]

Amazing quality and performance! Thank you very much! :)

[@ronaldmoracastillo]

Yes, there are hundred of great progressive rock guitar players out there but few show the level of confidence that Romeo displays while playing sophisticated licks. He seems to enjoy his playing so much!

[@halonuter]

when they played chicago that year i caught the drum stick used for this song

[@Enforcer0623]

Fucking Epic! Best song ever composed! Best Band ever to grace our time! Rejoice for we are living in the time of Symphony X! Fuck yeah! :D

[@SoundBoss5150]

Imagine Symphony X with.... wait for it... a fucking SYMPHONY!!!! If I had the dough to put something like that together, you would have your DVD and then some 8-)

[@Killermillerrr]

So clean! No other band gives me the chills as repeatedly and consistently as Symphony X does. Michael Pinnella and Michael Romeo together make my life complete. Well, musically...mostly. :) Thank you so much for posting this!

[@mangafreak923]

I really couldn't believe they played this live. I was expecting to see the usual set list, but then they surprised us with this.

[@Tharg]

Wish I had more thumbs. So epic.

[@milonkill]

Respond to this video... Is it okay to cry? I think I am...because I am not there......I love Symphony X. SO much.
