I think that the major problem of this album is the production that has made all the album sounding boring. Listening to this live version it's definetly more enjoyable. But I still prefer a dramatic turns of events.
I went to it live. I would definitely go again. Waaaay underrated, it takes many, many "listens" to sink in. I really wish this would be on Blu-ray. It's so beautiful! Sometimes I think that, like a lot of the composers who are no longer with us, it's going to take that long for them to get the full value and attention they deserve. My recommendation: Take the time to listen to this, it may take months, but after a while, it just clicks. Unfortunately, a lot of the public and media express themselves through hasty opinions. And this a great example of what can be missed by taking this approach. Thank you for posting this!
They recently started a series of lost not forgotten archives, and one of the pictures when you enter the website is related to this tour. I have shared hopes like your words, hopefully they release something related to this tour because these songs live they sound much better
The Astonishing must be the most underrated album of DT. Hopefully it have its glory before humanity falls into a distopyan society where music is prohibited.
Hey to everyone out there!! Remember my words...One day, when you wanna talk about this, you will use words like epic, unique, masterpiece, anthem, opus and maybe DIVINE!! Totally agree with you guys! Thanks for sharing Matteo.Thanks once again, D.T. !!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ZeqhroxI agree, I think a lot of people who rag on it didn’t get the full experience by reading the lyrics and reading what characters are speaking and where there speaking at just like scenes this is on my Top3 favorite albums for sure!! I’ll listen to it 2or 3 times in a row
l' intenzione di petrucci era trovare un occasione per suonare con l' orchestra e filmare la serata, ma non sono riusciti ad organizzarla. è un peccato visto che già da questo video si capisce l'ottimo lavoro nel creare le animazioni e le luci.
@@matteobraso ma dai che strozzata, orchestra o meno potevano tirare fuori un blueray stile metropolis II, e ci godevamo l'intero album a casa in tv, ora una volta visto live, in prima fila ovviamente, non avrò più l'occasione di rivederlo per intero e molte canzoni live non le fanno più fanno le solite 3....un vero peccato...potevano fare un video, come questo qui su youtube, dove ogni canzone era in un teatro del mondo, sai che figata
@@formynsane anch'io comprerei il blu ray al volo se lo facessero, purtroppo con i costi per produrlo e la richiesta abbastanza scarsa da parte del pubblico per loro rischierebbe di essere una grossa perdita economica
This was a really cool concert! I went not know anything about the Astonishing... really cool experience. The sound system was incredible! When the Nomacs horn blew, you could really feel it.
If Labrie still had the same voice he had in the early 90’s then I guarantee you they would have made a live Astonishing dvd. As sad as it is to say, I don’t think that they want his current live vocal ability to be professionally recorded for everyone to see 😬
This is a great album and a great tour. I’m happy I saw this one in Anaheim. The dystopian theme is very real. Thank you for sharing this live footage from your show. Well done. Cheers! 🍻👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I actually think that they do have footage but have not released it. Apparently Labrie said they had to record it because they'd probably never come back to it due to the nature of the album. But it was probably not worth having it edited professionally and then distributed (although digital distribution would've been cheap). We'll probably never see that footage though
It would probably cost too much to have to re record all of James' Vocals or auto tune a good chunk. Same thing happened with the 2017 Budokan DVD we never got
miss this stage so much:').For the second time dream theater make a fucking beautiful stage concept like this after A Dramatic turn of events stage Tour:)
Contrary to what most people think LaBrie sounds amazing here. Yeah, a few setbacks here and there, but overall it's a pretty solid performance. In addition, have in mind that we're dealing with low quality fan recordings which don''t do much justice to his voice.
Thank you so much for putting all this together! 😭 i didn’t see the show live and so many people said the show was amazing, so i've been waiting for an official release. But i've lost hope for that when i realized its been almost five years now, so we can at least all keep this unofficial version to get the vibe of the show!
I didn't like the album when it was released or rather it didn't meet my expectation of a Dream Theater album. However, a couple of weeks ago I listened to the album again and was surprised by how much I liked it compared to my initial reaction. I've listened to it many times since then and now I appreciate it even more.
saw two times ths tour forme the best produccion of DT ,, shame that people do not like it i realy enjoy it , and both time full theater... hope some day we see a dvd,, amazing show
Thank you for this!!!!!🙏🙂 “the songbirds stop to listen when James sings” 🤘😎 so many emotions in this album it literally chokes me up every time!! When Nefarious calls Gabriel his son, and begs him to use his gift I literally cry and I’m a grown ass man, and the Astonishing at the end and when the whole town starts singing this album gets me to this day I just listened to it last week and still cried
I don't know why he tries to add all the high notes that aren't even on the album. If he would chill out and just sing the lower parts, everything would be fine. Singer for Fates Warning does that for their old songs and it sounds great.
Thank for releasing this.. WHY OH WHY DID THEY NEVER MAKE A BLU-RAY!!! Best and most astonishing Dream theater concert ever!! Very melodic and a cool and exiting film.. AND THEN THEY DONT MAKE A CONCERT VIDEO. Why..????
I don't get all the hate for LaBrie in the comments. Sure, these performances aren't perfect and there are a few really rough moments, but he's not as offensive as I was bracing for. And as for it being a hindrance to a live DVD... they've left much worse unedited on professional releases, so...
LaBrie hits the lower notes beutifully. cant he just realise that he cant hit as high notes anymore and stick to lower ones. it would make the experience of seing them better and would probably be healthier for his voice
I enjoyed this movie, because i do identify with the main character, but not with the movie's intended conclusion. Excellent video.... besides the mispronunciation bit.
This is the only DT album I've ever listened to. And if it weren't for my ears being wiiiiide open to the unorthodox and the abnormal, i probably wouldn't care for this album the way I do. It's absolutely an acquired taste. But i'm thankfull to have acquired it. Is all of DT's album work as Broadway/Musical-like as this? Im hoping so, cause it suits the band's name.
if you're looking for that "opera rock", symphonic metal style I definitely suggest to check out Scenes From a Memory (their first concept album), the song Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and the Octavarium album (which feature a real orchestra on 3 tracks). I'm sure you're gonna love them!
Puff terrible, ni ellos sacaron el recital entero de esta gira... Ahora de dónde son vos y claudio? Jajaja una joya grabada en vivo, parece luna park por la distribución de las butacas, igual sea donde sea gracias por compartir el concierto entero... memoria para mis retinas, saludos desde argentina
Questo disco è stato un errore farlo uscire sotto il nome dream theater, rimane il più brutto della loro discografia, la noia e il nulla condito con il niente
One of the most undervalued albums in the history of music. It's a jewel, a treasure, a masterpiece. The best DT album in Mangini's era, by far.
I fully agree with you!
@@krampus1349 it's a great record, but in my opinion the best Mangini album is a dramatic turn of events
😂😂😂😂
I think that the major problem of this album is the production that has made all the album sounding boring. Listening to this live version it's definetly more enjoyable. But I still prefer a dramatic turns of events.
How did Labrie memorize such long lyrics during a 2 hour performance?
That's AMAZING
:D
What blows my mind is not mixing up lyrics when you're singing the same themes a lot.
He’s the OG and not to mention perform as like 7 characters it’s truly amazing!!
yes really amazing !!!

Agree, took me about 6 or 7 listens to begin to like it. From there I realized how good it is (helps once you know the story, which takes time)
It took me 4.5 years for it to sink it
Pro trick: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Mayson Nehemiah yup, I've been using flixzone for since november myself :)

Once the Nomacs take over we’re effed until Gabriel comes along again

I said it multiple times and I'll say it again: This album is ahead of its time and will be revered by the fans years from now. Mark my words.
100% agree, my personal favourite out of all of them. Maybe Scenes from a Memory beat this but it depends on the mood youre in
nahh its dogshite
“Heed my words” 🤘😆

And we'll live once more.... Eternally.... In armony.... Our lives will be.... Astonishing again!!
Saw this concert live in Baltimore. In THAT performance, LaBrie nailed EVERYTHING! IT was the beginning of the tour. Very grateful!
This is a great album and a great tour. I’m happy I saw this one in Anaheim. The dystopian theme is very real. Thank you for sharing this live footage from your show. Well done. Cheers! 🍻👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I've only ever listened to the last song on this album, and simply by the ending of it I can tell the whole story of the album is amazing
This album is beautiful.
pretty cool when the audience cheers after the nomacs power down
Yeah, that’s the moment the band came back on stage for the encore.
I was wondering where this was, and I heard the classic "buena conchetumareee" and Labrie cheering Santiago haha
If you are truly musician youll definitely love this....
Yes I am I understand why people dislike it
Omg! My video is here! Nice job, Matteo! I'm sorry I didn't have a better camera, but happy to share it for fans of this beautiful band!
How is their no pro shot footage of this? We need a dvd of this! So great. Thanks for sharing!
Probably too much for their budget
Well, James cannot keep up the high notes. They would need to make too many corrections.
I actually think that they do have footage but have not released it. Apparently Labrie said they had to record it because they'd probably never come back to it due to the nature of the album. But it was probably not worth having it edited professionally and then distributed (although digital distribution would've been cheap). We'll probably never see that footage though
It would probably cost too much to have to re record all of James' Vocals or auto tune a good chunk. Same thing happened with the 2017 Budokan DVD we never got
The difference that the Budokan 2017, was streamed on WOWOW.
Love this band and this album! Thanks for posting
You are a Maiden fan and like The Astonishing? I'm not alone so lol.
Probably the most talented musicians ever
miss this stage so much:').For the second time dream theater make a fucking beautiful stage concept like this after A Dramatic turn of events stage Tour:)
absolutely agree. The ADTOE production was amazing. I loved the Along for the ride tour CGI videos as well
Thank you for sharing this incredible experience!
Thank you so much I saw them twice on this tour and was very disappointed when I realized there would never be a DVD of this album
What where you disappointed about?
@@gabrielwalker4411 no live dvd release of the astonishing tour
@@rvm8315 Oh Sorry, Mis Read your comment. Sorry man Have a good day, no hard feelings

Sometimes he cannot hear himself cause of the volume.

It's a mystery to me why they don't write new music 1 or 2 keys lower in order for LaBrie to be able to hit the notes live.
I don't know why he tries to add all the high notes that aren't even on the album. If he would chill out and just sing the lower parts, everything would be fine. Singer for Fates Warning does that for their old songs and it sounds great.
Because they are a band that haven't progressed since the early 2000s when he was still able to hit those notes.
They just did LMAO
@@eventideelysium i know right? AVFTTOTW
@@eventideelysium where?
EPIC !!!! Need DVD!!!!!
thank you very much,matteobrazo,well done,a really outstanding ,genius supertroup!!!why dont they have more grammies? I dont understand!
I Love this album... Saw them on Rio... That was the best concert I've into by far.
Thank for releasing this.. WHY OH WHY DID THEY NEVER MAKE A BLU-RAY!!!
Best and most astonishing Dream theater concert ever!! Very melodic and a cool and exiting film.. AND THEN THEY DONT MAKE A CONCERT VIDEO.
Why..????
Moment of betrayal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the best album of DT...
Holy Crap, this footage is really showing some of what mangini brings to the table. Hes going SO hard! So much power
"On the path that divides"
The ilustration of this song very clear and cool
The beginning of Losing Faythe is my video 😂😂
Wise placement of notes by LaBrie; there's a lot to learn from the live performance. For example, 1:33:35
thanks Bro
I don't get all the hate for LaBrie in the comments. Sure, these performances aren't perfect and there are a few really rough moments, but he's not as offensive as I was bracing for. And as for it being a hindrance to a live DVD... they've left much worse unedited on professional releases, so...
this is just beautiful
What a great your this was. My fav show of all time. Saw them at DPAC in Durham that your.
In which city is this date of this concert?
@@giovanniconsarino9923 it was in Durham nc. Can't remember the date but it was the only show in Durham on that tour
@@loudrimshot Is Durham in North Carolina? Thank you so much!
If you remember the date, let me know!
Thank you so much!
December 5, 2016. I was there as well. Most likely the last time they'll ever do a full performance of The Astonishing.
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
this is just awesome
LaBrie hits the lower notes beutifully. cant he just realise that he cant hit as high notes anymore and stick to lower ones. it would make the experience of seing them better and would probably be healthier for his voice
I watched this live in Baltimore -- and LaBrie nailed everything perfectly. Early on in the tour -- and he was rested and in shape.
Well said, and same on the albums
19:30
Это был год сильных моментов, моментов надежды, любви и молодости. Обидно, но теперь все это в прошлом 🦹♂🧙♂
Man, that guy would just not shut up during The X Aspect.
I will hold it against them forever for not putting a live blu ray of this out
James is amazing!
Esa es grabacion del caupolican 2 fechas que estaban agendadas en el teatro coliseo año 2018 chile 🙌🇨🇱🤟🎸🎶🔥🫶
This is the best era of James Labrie and Jordan Rudess..
I enjoyed this movie, because i do identify with the main character, but not with the movie's intended conclusion. Excellent video.... besides the mispronunciation bit.
Just see at 02:04:05 ,Myung going cool!!! :)
For the 3rd time in the entire history of Dream Theater!

@@davecrupel2817 Their latest album, Distance Over Time is mindblowing. Also if you get time to hear A Change of Seasons you wont regret. 😉
James had some rough patches. But overall I thought he sounded fantastic. Singing 7 different characters in one album does not sound easy.
MANGINI IS A JOKER ... LOVE IT HAHAHA
This ending is epic 37:38

JL wasnt in that shot, it's an actor who is part of the video
Man, I thought James would sound good... Not one of his best tours, I guess. He sounded great in Breaking the forth wall and Luna Park
I think the tight schedule and massive amount of singing in the astonishing takes a toll
@@Sauronthedeciever_ yeah, true. Love James either way!
All the cameras are from the same show?

yeah, couldn't find it anywhere
And that kind of makes the story broken
