I look and go: "Man Tony is insane!" 2 seconds later: "No, Jordan is insane!" 3 seconds later: "No, Mike is insane!" 5 seconds later: "No John is insane!" 575 seconds later: "I AM GOING INSANE!!!"
josé guilherme thomé they are very good. Not metal but check out karn evil 9 2nd impression, from Emerson lake and Palmer. Or just the the whole album brain salad surgery
:D Looks like he didn't play guitar for more than 20 years. He's so hungry and kind of "Hey! Look at me, so fast and awsome! Let me play alone this game."
Look at Mike in 6:11 hitting the pad to his right, which apparently doesn´t produce any sound. That is his call to end the improvised solo section and head towards the next riff section of the song. When he hits that, the rest of the musicians hear a percussive signal in their in-ear monitors so they don`t need to be looking at the drummer all the time to know when the solo should end. If you pay attention closely, he uses the same type of pad in 0:14 (this time in his left) to count 4 and allow he and John start at the same time without having to use 4 stick hits or 4 hi hat notes heard outside by the people. He used this stuff too when DT played Metropolis live in that part when lights went out producing a silence that apparently wasn`t counted along with a click track or anything like that. That mixture of a heavy amount of improvised stuff but yet being held inside a really controlled environment instead of your typical free jazz band wankery where everyone does whatever they want whitout a defined direction, has been for me the most clear and cool defining element of this amazing band. They jammed a lot, but not to the point of getting you bored. And besides that jamming, they had songs with motifs and arrangementes composed in the studio and studied later, even if they were produced in a short amount of time like LTE 1. I am not sure if I really want them to make another album if the honest musical chemistry between them is not really back after the differences Mike had with Jordan and John, but I am surely thankful to them for making this great music that I still listen after so many years.
@@markabellar4152 just look at mike in the beginning of the song, he hit something that doesn't make a sound to us but all of the band members can listen to
+Bobo Akulo I read the "I will quit" comment often below the videos of 14 year old Tina S. who frustrates many male teenage and adult guitar players :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1B4pZBmI_gU.html
I’ll ignore the fact he interacts like a jazz drummer in a rock setting or the chops. But I miss him in DT. He’s second to Bonham for me, but had he been born earlier mighta given him a run for his money. Portnoy is such a clever drummer
C'est une version avec Derek Sherinian au clavier qui me ramène ici et... bon bah y'a pas photo Rudess a carrément plus de doigté. Et c'est vrai que cette version est super. Bonjour de la Belgique !
Did anyone notice that Jordan Rudess have some problem with his keyboard when it comes keyboard solo part? Jordan keys solo was supposed to start at 6:33, and it didn't. You can see John, Mike & Tony face at that time, confused what happened to Jordan because Keys solo is not starting until 6:52 😂 Jordan said "wow" at 6:59 telling other that he almost failed keyboard solo part 😂 The same problem happen to John Petrucci in "Universal Mind" in this concert. His guitar amp down right in the middle of Jordan Rudess Piano Solo. Portnoy have to write message on a paper and run to Jordan to tell him continue the piano solo a little bit longer while John amp being restored 😂
He had a technical problem with the new Roland Phantom G8.... It was the newest keyboard by Roland at the time and he agreed promoting it. At the show in Chicago it completely went bananas and they had to continue playing without a keyboard. The video from that show turned into one of the most sought after, because they had to turn it into an open jam session and the guys switching instruments..... Here is a link of them with JR on lead guitar and JP on bass: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k-gcWMjotgE.html
Dude!! good call !! They were like we have been grooving this long don't fuck it up!!! Jordan covers well and I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out!!
I like to think I'm pretty well educated when it comes to guitar and technique, but to this day, whenever I see Petrucci do his thing at 5:05 I can't believe it. I seriously can't believe he just did that, even though I saw it with my own eyes. I mean just look at it, it doesn't even look human and I'm not trying to be funny. My words are insufficient to describe it so I'm not even going to try.
Yes! This is what I want. Blazing, howling electric guitar that pushes music right to the edge, not just raising the roof, but blasting the roof into a million pieces. The whole band is amazing. What intensity from everyone!
Sum0fNothing A tip, at 2:20 pay attetion while the camera take a panoramic view over the stage, pay attetion to the sound, the high notes using the pitch wheel, also the sound of keyboard is covering the guitar sound acting ALSO as a booster, and if you pay more attetion you can notice that the sound is digitalized
Every one of these musicians are arguably the absolute best in the world at their instrument. And they're in the same band. I don't spin up LTE or DT when I want to hear the best songwriting of all time, but if I just want to be blown away by raw musicianship I really haven't found a better option yet.
They're songwriting is fine. Not every song needs to be written as verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. Progressive rock/metal shouldn't be used to describe a genre but a way of structuring songs differently. Saying a genre is progressive makes little sense since all good music progresses. Its about pushing boundaries not sticking to the same confines as pop music. I'm sure they could write 3-5 minute hits but that's not what they are into.
I commented on this 2yrs ago. Proud to say still watching and listening. Haven't seen a match for these 4 guys. What a collection of amazing talent. All 4 are gods of music. I will NEVER tire of this performance . EPIC.
11 years later and this is still one of THE greatest musical performances I've ever seen, in person or in video. Petrucci's solo is actually beyond human
Been listening to this song for 10 years but been a while since I seen a live performance of it. Mind 💣💣💣💥💥💥 every time. It's better than the record version. They were all so in sync with each other back then. Every second of their songs. The skill of jp and Jordan rudess to play note for note with each other will never not amaze me. These guys were and still are some of the best ever musicians on the planet. I gotta go watch it again then again and again.
The best part about all of this is that is not just technical playing for the sake of being technical. So much feeling and groove behind this. It's like Edgar Winter's on steroids
I'm still SO PISSED they never brought this track to the Guitar Hero or Rock Band series when they were big. This woulda been on the same level as "Through the Fire and Flames." These guys know how to ROCK
I think it's safe to say that while they were active... during the 2nd Album and tour, Liquid Tension Experiment was the greatest band in the world. Not an overstatement.
@@ytsertd333 Son inferiores a Liquid tensión Experiment. Hay que estar sordo para no notarlo. Liquid tensión Experiment está a un nivel superior yo diría a cualquier otra banda, y eso que este no es de mis estilos favoritos, te lo dice alguien que escucha Death Metal.
I hate to be the one to say it, but this is my opinion 1. One of petrucci's most disturbing solos, i mean it's like acid 2. One of the best Rudess solos out there i've heard that kinda feels like rain all in 9 aand a half awesome minutes of pure genious music.
