I had this performance in audio, I didn't know it was from this show. I LOOOOVE the intro. Everyone (including me) goes nuts when the song properly starts.
This song is pure melodic genius. Can it be that A7X fans are finally hearing something they never knew existed? I am a fan from 20 years of all 25. It's about time that Americans stop being told what is in style for the era and start liking great music. I like A7X and some of the melodic unisons are awesome. It's about the music and not the era people. Thank you A7X for paying tribute to great music and letting the music labels know that you will respect great musicianship to honor your friend.
Derek Sherinian is the man, this is and was the best dream theatre. He later went on to create a great solo album black utopia as well as attack with Yngwie Malmsteen.
MTV came up with the unplugged concept to demonstrate raw talent. When DT did it without their promotion or permission they must have been like... this is our show and we control everything so fuck these guys, even though they just made every band we've featured look like a bunch of amateurs.
I know how you feel. It seems Myung very much communicates with emotion. But doesn't show it physically. But he definitely expresses it through song. He seems to say: We might be quiet, But we have big souls with lots of feeling.
JAMES WAS SUPERB IN HIS WINTER ROSE DAYS AND WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE..I HATE HIS VOICE ON AWAKE..BUT I SENSE HIS POWER AND RANGE REVIVED ON THEIR SCORE CONCERT DVD..HE'S MY FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIME..HE'S UNIQUE
I don't hate James. But this song would have been much better with a raw piano, trying to emulate a jazz song... not his parts. It's about the decisions made for this particular song. Besides that, I love his work.
I've been a fan of Dream Theater for over a decade...but most of Mike's drumming here is too hard hitting for a song like this. Thumbs up if you agree.
