Debatable. Looks like wig.

[@ahmetyuce9820]

This song has 140 signature changes varying from simple 4/4 to absurd 15/16, 13/8 and so on. Playing this without notepad requires insane amount of focus and memory. Hats off whoever plays this but these dudes literally created this...

[@agents5344]

Impossible to play with a metronome thats for sure

[@ShadowKiller571]

I'm learning it on guitar. I have the first 2 minutes of the song down. I think it's a lot harder to learn on drums than anything else

hahahaha, I was 2 mins into the songs, and was wondering when he was coming to sing... just to realize it was a song without him. Good old DT jokes about LaBrie lol.

[@luxheira3528]

The man who edited the video makes me fly

[@danielarteta2476]

Portnoy, actually 🤣 That's why the more onscreen time is from him and his compadre at the time, Petrucci

[@Vale65ntin]

Imagine being in the crowd and trying to headbang to this

[@shayanmoosavi9139]

Legend says that if you can headbang to this song perfectly you'll become god.

[@trifecteye]

Can`t believe how few views this has, insane performance. Rudess, those polyrythms from portnoy ! In 2000 ... Just crazy.

[@Palacios_ARQ]

Absolutely Insane performance

[@cuffedpans]

I would kill to watch this song

[@GabyGamerGirl]

essa música é de 1999 jão, nutella do carai0

[@ShadowKiller571]

I honestly had no idea this was rudess lmao. I just saw hair and assume it was Kevin Moore

[@BoundInChains]

Ariana Grande licking a doughnut on display has more views than this video.. disgusting.

[@mexbrew]

For me, a top 3 instrumental. Number one: la villa strangiato, number two: a dance of eternity, number three: YYZ. Yes I am a rush fan, but a very big DT fan as well!

[@extrullorgd4444]

LVS is undoubtedly the best instrumental ever, it's on a whole different level. This one is my second fav too tho

[@Lexiphy]

Ever Dream Theater fan is also a Rush fan, there are zero exceptions

[@mrgrubbage519]

Acid Rain, Another Dimension and When The Water Breaks are on this level.

[@jessicamatthews6573]

and to think, I was at this show. :)

[@andrefelippeGermano1]

Epic.

[@MichelGusse]

Mike Porntoy is a driving force !! he is was gone , now he is back , and his drumming is far more better , more musically , than the drummer who try to replace him , but no one can replace the drumming of mike which is quick , complicated , but still musical.

[@emmanuelsamson4819]

Dream Theater is the ultimate collection of music gods!

[@ThomasJakobMusic]

The POWER in Portnoy.

[@pkrent3461]

The soul of DT 😭

[@258lemons]

Holy balls that was insane. Cannot wait for MP to return to Dream Theater. Huge love to MM, he has been so graceful about it. However I personally feel MP is back where he belongs! Cannot wait for their new album!!

[@zerohourdiscussionswithjmc6466]

This was 100x better than their last video'ed performance.

[@dantebad]

whoever disliked this magnum opus deserves to get deaf or just ... i dont know. reborn in 2999 where the only music people hear those days are ad jingles.

[@michaelmcculloch5957]

Their so good you'd actually think they were taking the piss but they're just THAT good. It's pretty incredible how talented this line up was. You don't get much better at your craft than this. Jordan is probably the most insane musician I've ever seen live. Him and John were lying down on stage doing solos, it was incredible.

[@sinistrality7883]

"how many time signatures does this song have?" "all of them"

[@alexkayal]

This song is so difficult to play that in the last couple of frames you could clearly see JP being like holy shit we really pulled this off

[@salvatoremarchese4280]

The first time i saw DT playing live was in a VHS live in Japan, i fell in love with those guys, my favourite album is "falling into infinity" with Derek on keyboard, and a wonderfull James Labrie. Metropolis is one of my favorite album but i still thinking that without mike portnoy The Band will never be the same again.

[@mrgreenpepper1097]

jadi inget waktu sma(2001),,,jadi banyak temen anak band gara2 punya video vhs live yang ini,,,,tahun sgitu...anjirrrr

[@Mechashiva76]

5:15 is exactly what I was looking for. the picking pattern forces you to do 2 down strokes in a row otherwise the picking would be reversed the 2nd time around. learning this song is one thing. learning each part 2 different ways is too much :D

[@orakjaka2403]

the best band ever!!

This is Dream Theater. Anyone else remember these guys? Mangini just cannot capture the essence of Portnoy's work. He's a great technical drummer, but he just can't pull this stuff off the way it was intended.

[@trekgreenwood6743]

Don’t get me wrong, Mangini was an accurate drummer. But I felt he always missed the power that Portnoy had. It’s like the music was just slightly above his capability that he was concerned more about hitting the rights notes, rather than putting everything into them. But you don’t get that with Portnoy. And maybe that’s because well… Portnoy wrote the parts. 😂 But let’s just say, I’m glad Portnoy’s back in the seat.
