DREAM THEATER - The Count of Tuscany | Pull Me Under (Live at Rock In Rio 2022) 

John Petrucci's guitar playing here is pure genius.

*"The Count of Tuscany"* is definitely the most beautiful DT song from all of the modern albums and I don't think a single song has come close since the post-Portnoy era.

I was there in the crowd. After so many hours standing up, felt really tired and almost dehydrated, when the first notes of Count of Tuscany started to kick in, it was almost 2:00 in the morning, and it made all the effort to endure the long night of concert worthwhile (Sepultura, Gojira and Iron Maiden performed before Dream Theater). It was my first ever Dream Theater concert and I will never forget how hypnotic John Petrucci sounds live. They are so amazing.

Dream theater=best band in the world

The solo at the end of the Count of Tuscany is just.....wow.

James' vocals now are like one of those "SHREDZ" videos.

I've seen James catching a lot of grief from some of these comments and I would like to address that. For one, keep in mind the size of that crowd and the amount of pressure on him as the voice of the band. Have they performed shows of this size before? I don't know for certain, but it is very likely. Does that matter? No. I couldn't imagine getting up there and singing a single line, let alone an entire concert. James is also pushing 60, if not already there, so singing like he did 20 years ago is probably extremely difficult. Another thing worth mentioning is at what point in their tour this was recorded at. The man could be incredibly exhausted. I would be. So with all of that being said, my final argument is that nobody in the band needs to be replaced. You have to keep in mind that these guys are a family at this point. To us, the band members can be inspiring musicians to look up to. To each other, they are family. It's as simple as that.

These guys are such talented musicians. Who else reads the music while their playing these days? Every song, for each musician of the band, is one-long-assed-solo! No simple 1-4-5 chord progressions here!

This band has something for almost everyone. Enough metal edge for the rocker, enough quality guitar to make Van Halen fans drool, enough innovative use of keyboards for the Kansas, Styx, Mahogany Rush, enthusiast, and a moving baseline and clear, concise and interesting vocals/lyrics-for the Rush lover.

That note at 13:45 simply gets me every time. I'd be nervous I'd miss the harmonic. Amazing

EVERYTIME Petrucci hits these first intro notes I get chills. Everytime. This guy is a f` genius.

Thanks Dream theatre to be part most of my life

I like how the beginning of the atmospheric middle part has completely different chords and melody than the studio version. Makes it really special.

Brazil has such great fans. If I was in a band I would only want to play in Brazil. Greetings from America.

I've seen JAMES at the beginning of 2022 in Vienna and the vocals were FLAWLESS! His performances can be very different from day to day. With all the things in mind that happened to him in the past, it's astonishing that he manged to sing again and especially to sing still with his age. STOP THE FUCKIN hate. It's his and the Bands decision if he keeps on performing or not. ITS A SHAME that people really want to BOOOO him out of the band. Some people don't get it that their keyboard warrior behavior is online mobbing on the highest level. Would you be happy if you LOOSE YOUR JOB because of some internet-peoples opinions? Sure not!

Everything you need to know about Dream Theater lies in these fractions of seconds in the eyes of this girl [00:35 - 00:42], whose emotions will not leave almost anyone indifferent. And it’s truly fucking magical and heartbreaking.

It's amazing to see sooo many Brazilian women enjoying DT live!!!

so lucky Growing up and living in the era of dream theater, witnessing this great show was the best moment of my life... ❤ ❤❤ solo, manahan 10 august 2022, jakarta, & Ancol ecopark 12 mei 2023 ❤❤❤

James has a great studio voice but has a really hard time pulling it off live. The Band always sounds great.

That insert of Gershwin's Rhapsody in blue... divine!

Petrucci's tone is incredible, especially on the intro to Pull Me Under

It's great to see the crowd enjoying the show without recording it 😀

Always knew of DT but never paid much attention to them….then I heard Count around 6-7 years ago and as a guitar player I was hooked and have been since. I learned it on guitar-took me a month!! But was an amazing introduction into the greatness of this band. Have since seen them multiple times live and have attended JP’s guitar camp 1.0 which was an incredible experience and haven’t looked back-great band, pre-Mangini and post-Portnoy. JP is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.

LO MEJOR ES INSTRUMENTAL!! COMO LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT.

Much better mix than Live at Luna Park. We can actually hear John Myung's bass here.

I don’t understand why they don’t just play the old material in Eb so it’s more comfortable for James, a lot of bands do it with much younger singers. There’s no shame on doing that and it would sound much better.

Really thx for share this!

Thank You for the upload DREAM THEATER 💚

Damn! It breaks my heart to watch James sing like this, I understand age is taking over his voice and its not easy to sing those high notes anymore, I have watched him sing live in his 'better' days. This just feels miserable.

Dude, this tour, closing with the count of tuscany, dude

Amazing!

Some great footage here and sound. This tour is screaming for a release. Caught them in Toronto. so great. Thanks for posting this!

Ooah man, those live performances are so good. Love it!

Drums are so quiet. But an amazing performance!

Thank you man behind the audio mixer, for delivering beautiful DT's live audio to may ears

Perfecto!

세월이 흘러도 완벽한 사운드는 변함없군요. 보컬하시는분이 후반에 힘이 빠지신듯하지만 여전히 멋진 사운드 너무 잘 감상했습니다.

this is just so fking epic, now words can describe what i feel after the show

a great song from a great band!!!

The Count of Tuscany bring to tears every time I´ve listened to it¡ Amazing show¡

Finally good footage of this song live. This is my favorite DT song. I would littery feel like the girl crying when Petrucci starts the first solo if I had been there. This song spiritually moves me like no other song ever.

I've seen them many times, indoor and outdoor . They never ever disappointed me, made me always happy. Thank you for all the good times and I am looking forward to more good and happy times.

I hope this concert comes out on DVD / BluRay cuz the sound videography is awesome!!!!

As a vocalist, i do appreciate what James tried to reach the high pitch. Thanks alot, mr. LaBrie dan DT guys.

Мурашки по телу!👍👍👍

WOW!

the best of all...really

Tuve la suerte de verlos en vivo el 7 de septiembre en Buenos Aires, fue un show magnífico, es increíble como uno se desconecta del mundo con sus canciones y viaja en cada nota ejecutada. Realmente uno de los mejores concierto al que fui. Ojalá los vuelva a ver 🤘 DT ❤️

Gracias dream theater, todavía existen músicos de verdad 👍

The legend never die....

Brilliant🤘🤘🤘

Great performance. Love the small inclusion of " Rhapsody In Blue " during John's solo segment in " The Count Of Tuscany. "

The bass is kick ass!

Damn, These chugs at the end of pull me over! Goosebumbs all over my Body. Nice!

Really great. I 'm remember the concert 18 th of february 2020. 🤩🤩🤩🤘👍

Too many gods in this band.. Superb!!

Great footage! Respect to Mangini keeping those original parts pretty spot on.
