"Beard Theater" 🤣🤣🤣

Ngl parts of Systematic Chaos, mainly Repentance, parts of Ministry of Lost Souls, and In the Presence of Enemies Part 2 before the instrumental break sound like opeth, minus the death metal and harsh vocals. Happy to know both of these bands are (seemingly) close!! Ngl I could totally imagine Mikael doing death metal growls to "DON'T!! BOTHER TRYING TO FIND THEM!! THEY WILL BE COMING FOR YOU!!" from In the Presence of Enemies Part 2. The instruments in that part sound suspiciously like Opeth....

Celebrate tonight with a few bottles of champagne 😂😂😂😅 it gets me

Portnoy's bloopers have been cracking me up for so long, lol. Good thing about him being back is we can finally see him play The Best of Times and The Shattered Fortress with the band live! Excellent job with this fanumentary!

It’s weird seeing him without the huge beard

I love Portnoy and Im glad hes back but dear god during the Systematic Chaos/Black Clouds era he was so insufferable LOL!! he seems that hes chilled out now and im happy for that

Love these, as a keyboard player I love to make the Guitars sound even heavier, would love to see more examples for everyone to hear!

I remember watching each episode on Real Player. Elektra intro, and hype levels from another world. After "Scenes" every snippet from the new album was simply amazing. Thank you for this video!!!

fun thing is that, mike revealed he wished to fill opeth's drum spot, because he is a massive opeth nerd, its his bus touring gig i love axe, im sad that he left, but in between axe leaving and new drummer joining, mike wasnt back in DT yet, so they missed this opportunity, man... imagine opeth playing the glass prison

I think sounds way back had and today makes sense

Wow❤ Pure magic✨

JP's zombie is fckn scary 😂

6:20 music?

5:10 I absolutely died at this part

Speak to your self baldy 😂

I love Kurzweil era!!! for me, it's the best sounds.

NEED PART 6

Mangini really was the perfect one for the job to replace Portnoy.

6:26 ahahahahaha 😂 "Ehhhhyayayeiiiii"

4:50 de cuál es esta escena Respuesta: Live at Budokan (2004)

6:22 song name pleeeease

And John has since grown his beard…

🏆 *Jordan Rudess!* 🏆

If anyone is curious, this video is quantized with the actual solo from the Awake recording. It is not the isolated solo from Instrumedley.

Sherinian's creativity stands out here.

Love this, and it is my Desert Island Dream Theater album

Id like to see a weight lifted off Johns chin.

Now i realize that my favorite keyboard solos are all Derek’s!

No one has the backing track without guitar but with instrument and vocals ..

I'm the 66,666 viewer...

This was recorded with a potato.

cant listen to anything after “falling into infinity”

God

3:49 COOOOKKIEEEE

Jordan, just ask to Kevin how he did it... end of the story

I don’t want to think that Mike stayed with them just to complete his 12-step process, him saying “ok I got this done I can go now” would break my heart. But it doesn’t matter now he’s back. Can’t wait for October 26.

a season has changed, so take the time

Absolutely classic JP. Can't see any other version topping this one.! oh→ and Lizzy !!

Black Clouds and Silver linings guitar tone is the most clear without being harsh in my opinion. The perfect balance of everything.

5:42 And now for the AAR (After Action Review) with Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy. Here's an exerpt..... 5:49 Jordan Rudess: The audience was amazing. 5:50 Mike Portnoy: Just give me my wings and let me get the fuck out of dodge. 10 out of 10 for absolute freakin' hilarity : ).

Notice how Mike was like 75% of the video

Oh shit, I can not believe I'll listen to these guys with my own ears live in October.

Wither solo... Jesus Christ...

Could You Do "The Thing That Should Not Be" In The Same Way Please? 🙏🏻

Then he quit the band. Was that a cloud or a lining?

They are out of their element. Not even close. Embarrassing except for guitar.

I feel Battery could be a Power Rangers song tho 🤔👌

Kevin moore

More Kevin Moore, but he's in the past...

Really hoping they did some documenting on this upcoming album. Also is it just me or is the bass WAY more prominent in this video when they bring in the full band? It sounds so damn good!
