I am 15, my father told me of the prog rock bands like van der graaf generator, king crimson, genesis, elp, etc. At first, I did not like but, when i listen again I had start to like more and each time more. I did search about prog bands and discover the actual prog bands of metal, and showed to my father. He liked, gets happy to know that still exists prog. Now, we will go see a Dream Theater concert on Jul 17 (they will come to Portugal) with my brother, age 13, who starts enjoying too :D
Thats awesome i took my father to see dream theater 4 consecutive fathers days and it was really the only thing we bonded over. He wanted to teach me instruments and i was like NYOAH I DONT DONT WANNA BE YOU> Now im 46 and i wished i learned an instrument in the worst way
Majesty was the bands first name but for copyright reasons they change their name to dream theater and they named this song like that for honor of their old name.
I'm not a guitar player but piano player, yet the guitar in this concert produces a sound my ears feel more cristalclear and pleasant than others. Take the time ending solo 😢❤
Out of a few hundred concerts and shows this one is unforgettable my first concert i every seen was Rush Farewell to kings 🤴 tour in 77 Victoria BC went down to Seattle in 93 from Vancouver Island 🏝 was blown away by images and words tour 😳 new blood in progressive rock scene Galactic Cowboys 🤠 we're excellent opener strong 💪 memories
the good Ole Days INdeed when diversity in songs structures,tones,dynamics,and melodies came with DT's creative force...the magic that was in the Kevin Moore years...so good
My Favorite Line Up of Dream Theater who were: James LeBrie - Vocals John Petrucci - Guitar John Myung - Bass Kevin Moore - Keyboards Mike Portnoy - Drums
I like everyone of the personnel line -ups Everyone is unique and represents a different phase of their musical adventure together. I am definitely a fan and enjoy each group as they musically represent that time of Dream Theater's personality and creative spirit. Bravo to all !! Curious to see if this comment will be liked or disliked !?
I think that this video is the greatest video of the greatest song by the greatest band during their greatest period, and if anyone disagrees then I want to see it.
Who all are here in 2021 ? The last time I saw this video was probably a decade back or slightly less than a decade but those days are what I remember feel happy ! I used to especially watch the video back then for MP's solo !! Those days were 60% drums and 40 percent life itself and I was mad about DT and was also a massive gearhead!
Listening Dream Theater is like reading book or watching good movie , music tells story and also never repeats , every single part is unique . that's why you're reading and listening same time.
sweet Jesus, how young and good they were these times. What we've got nowadays? Portnoy drumming at Transatlantic, Moore lost somewhere, LaBrie can't sing anymore, Petrucci still amazing, Myung always the same (very good). Where are your golden days, when you were playing Images&Words? Please come back :)

Ini jadi lagu nostalgia saya waktu masih kecil 😁 Masih ingat sekali umur 4 tahun (sebelum masuk TK) sudah dengar musik Dream Theater karena suka secara ga sengaja dengar dan lihat kakak stel cd Dream Theater (Live in Tokyo) ini. Bukan "Another Day", bukan "Pull Me Under", bukan pula "Metropolis Pt.1" yg bikin saya suka dengan Dream Theater tapi lagu instrumental "Ytse Jam" ini yg jadi awal mula saya suka dengan Dream Theater 😁
***** Nieh I liked adtoe but I really can't stand the new one, I really try to, but a rarely can listen to it without feeling it lacking something, and I feel like there isn't enough instrumental, also the lyrics are kinda simple in my opinion, i mean... shed your light on me, be my eyes when i can't see... really? be my eyes when i can't see? thats new... sorry but compared to the old ones when it was a complete album, a story, and a song that was splitted between sections... yea. to me it lacked all that... shame....
1n35pbso Oh man, if that's so, well, DT was gone after Kevin Moore's departure, as he took the emotional part with him and the great progressive era of the band, so, well, stop complaining about the leaving of Portnoy, it happened nearly four years ago...
Lejos el mejor solo de bateria que he visto en mi vida, y ademas muy bien acompañado por el resto de la banda. Genios del metal progresivo Dream Theater en especial Mike Portnoy.
Mike Portnoy might not have the greatest technique of all (as he is aware and saying this out loud himself) but he certainly has his unique satisfying taste and color in his drumming. He always had it.
Portnoy improvising alone is a bit boring, like you say not great technically speaking. But where he truly shines is when he writes music and drum patterns for the songs he writes, the man is also a human metronome!
It's kind of rare to see a person my age know the old dream theater and actually appreciate their music like this one , this song made me fall in love with Portnoy and his drumming !
@gaspar206 this was the Images and Words tour, this video is off of the live concert DVD of that tour, the show was recorded in Japan. Also the song title Yetse Jam is Majesty backwards, Majesty was the name the band used when they first formed.
5:04 man that's something really different from portnoy's solos, nice to hear some stuff like... wait. I hear the kicks emerging... here we go folks xDD that's been Mike's favourite solo groove since the beginning

This video came out during the Original Band I gave the most to, who everyone else in the band was also a progressive rock geek and loved “Images & Words”. I remember the first time I brought the “VHS Tape” (😱) to practice, thinking we’d watch a song or two. We ended up watching the *entire thing* twice through and not playing a note of our own, which was very surprising as our rehearsal schedule was as tight as a DT guitar riff/guitar & keyboard unison riff/guitar & keyboard harmony riff/guitar, keyboard & bass harmony riff... 😉 _(aka we didn’t screw around when it came to practicing, which showed once we started to play live and in the recording of our demos, the backing track most of the time between only 2-to-3 run-throughs.)_ ...we were also *_amazed_* with both the songs from “When Dream And Day Unite”, which we also hadn’t heard a lick of, as well as the pre-release versions of “To Live Forever” & “Puppies On Acid” _(the initial version of “The Mirror” main riff.)_ This, along with the “Live At The Marquee” EP & “When Dream And Day Unite” very much kept us occupied until “Awake” came out, as well as forming a large portion of my favorite period of the bands’s: “Images & Words” / “I&W: Live In Tokyo” & “Live At The Marquee” / “Awake” / “A Change Of Seasons” EP / “Falling Into Infinity” & “Hollow Years” EP. To me, all of the above is classic, *pure* Dream Theater while IMO, they started their downslide - SFaM, while huge when it came out mainly for being JR’s first recording with the band & their securing their Producer-less freedom from the recordings (which I believe is perhaps their biggest mistake as a band to not have a set of “Outside Ears” to listen and put in his or her 2 cents on the material & recording). I also wish Derek Sherinian had more than 1 album to show of his skills in the band. While a great lyricist, Kevin Moore’s keyboard patches were pulled straight from the ‘80s and to the best of my knowledge did not use *any* “real” Keyboards. On the other hand, Sherinian added *real* Hammond B3s, Fender Rhodes & Wurlitzer Electric Pianos and his 1977 Yamaha C9 Conservatory Series Grand Piano into his “Sound Library” And when taking on modern electronic keyboards, for FII her worked closely with Korg on the then-groundbreaking “Trinity” series of keyboards (and with it his defining “Monster Lead” patch \m/), and has continued to use Korg’s “latest & greatest” keyboards such as the Korg Kronos as of 2018. He’s also a high-level endorsee of Clavia’s “Nord” keyboards. All of the above show a musician who is set up to use both older “classic” sounds as well as modern, cutting-edge keyboards and sounds. Compared to Rudess, whose majority of tones come from electronic keyboards and *not* the _”Real World Keyboards”_ and whose patches sink into the mixes of post-1999 albums due to the lack of dedicated, professional talent behind the mixing board, Derek simply leaps off whatever musical project he’s a part of, whether it be backing Yngwie Malmsteen or Billy Idol, his “Band Projects” such as “Sons Of Apollo”, “Black County Communion” or “Planet X” (the most exciting and unique Instrumental “fusion” Band since the heyday of the genre in the 1970s)... of which they *all* have extremely different sonics and “vibes”. And as DT started to get heavier starting with 6DOIT, which Jordan has clearly stated he is not a fan of... honestly, can anyone imagine just how amazing “Train Of Thought” would have been with Derek and his fall heavier influences, style and tonality of playing?
Based on Myung's appearence change over the years...or lack thereof...we can only conclude that he is immortal.
😁😁😁😁
Now watch him now. He looks the same.
He did get different pants though

This video came out during the Original Band I gave the most to, who everyone else in the band was also a progressive rock geek and loved “Images & Words”. I remember the first time I brought the “VHS Tape” (😱) to practice, thinking we’d watch a song or two. We ended up watching the *entire thing* twice through and not playing a note of our own, which was very surprising as our rehearsal schedule was as tight as a DT guitar riff/guitar & keyboard unison riff/guitar & keyboard harmony riff/guitar, keyboard & bass harmony riff... 😉 _(aka we didn’t screw around when it came to practicing, which showed once we started to play live and in the recording of our demos, the backing track most of the time between only 2-to-3 run-throughs.)_
...we were also *_amazed_* with both the songs from “When Dream And Day Unite”, which we also hadn’t heard a lick of, as well as the pre-release versions of “To Live Forever” & “Puppies On Acid” _(the initial version of “The Mirror” main riff.)_ This, along with the “Live At The Marquee” EP & “When Dream And Day Unite” very much kept us occupied until “Awake” came out, as well as forming a large portion of my favorite period of the bands’s: “Images & Words” / “I&W: Live In Tokyo” & “Live At The Marquee” / “Awake” / “A Change Of Seasons” EP / “Falling Into Infinity” & “Hollow Years” EP.

I also wish Derek Sherinian had more than 1 album to show of his skills in the band. While a great lyricist, Kevin Moore’s keyboard patches were pulled straight from the ‘80s and to the best of my knowledge did not use *any* “real” Keyboards. On the other hand, Sherinian added *real* Hammond B3s, Fender Rhodes & Wurlitzer Electric Pianos and his 1977 Yamaha C9 Conservatory Series Grand Piano into his “Sound Library” And when taking on modern electronic keyboards, for FII her worked closely with Korg on the then-groundbreaking “Trinity” series of keyboards (and with it his defining “Monster Lead” patch \m/), and has continued to use Korg’s “latest & greatest” keyboards such as the Korg Kronos as of 2018.
