Dream Theater, thank you for so many years of good music, in my life since I heard this group it has been a before and after. God bless you and let's have many more years of Dream Theater
I know all about having a awful Xmas. On christmas eve 2016 my mom suddently passed away im a massive heartattack. Hope things is getting better for your
Absolutely amazing. Best Christmas song ever. Would have loved a great solo from John but was still great. I need a whole album of Christmas songs from Dream Theater.
Man, this really sounds like something out of Images and Words (almost like a more festive Surrounded, perhaps?). Amazing that this sort of energy and feel can be captured even all these years later with a clever twist to it. Amazing work! Edit: It would appear I have mistaken this for a new song rather than a rerelease, but either way it holds up rather well.
It has the same two-chord progression as the intro of Surrounded (G to C, repeated) and a somewhat similar timbre of the keyboard, so that's a big part of why you think that, lol.
Dream Theater superbly interpret this Christmas song. The rock paw emerges even if softened. Singer James Labrie lets his melodious and powerful voice vibrate, gracefully accompanied by the great musicians of the band.
Most talented and lyrically strong band of all time. Didn’t get into them until after my Dad passed and I started hanging with my brother more who loved them. I found the power and energy of their lyrics, especially A Change of Seasons and The Best of Times. For those were about Portnoy’s parents.. helped me a lot through my dad passing. In 8 years of listening to them, I’ve seen them live 5 times already. Worth every penny. Doesn’t matter how old they get at this point. And Mike Mangini still has that distinction that fits perfect. Still, I’d of loved to see them ONE time with Portnoy.
I saw them do this in a little club in November of ‘92 on the first American leg of the Images and Words tour. Standing no more than five feet from John, this was one of the Supreme musical experiences of my life.
O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song! This version is righteous and deserves a proper release. James nails the vocals! Just needed a classy JP solo. Overall, this is classic.
O holy night The stars are brightly shining It 'tis the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth. A prayer of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night, when Christ was born Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name. Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night, when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night, when Christ was born [*] Oh night, when Christ was born When Christ was born
I got a custom made dream theater sigh today, my dad had no idea who you guys were and I said y'all were people with the best bassist in the world. Keep rocking dudes
Let this Christmas leads you till the Cross. Christmas will be incomplete without the Cross. Because Jesus Christ is the Reason for these seasons. Thank You DT, from Nepal.
This is unexpected. This instantly puts a smile on my face. Thank you for that and Happy Merry Christmas. This is kinda' a successor to last year's The Holiday Spirit Carries On. 💕
They are a legendary band still active, (thank god for that) They 've been in every important phase in my life, when I was really young I trully believe that They are the greatest band of all times, now that that time has passed by, I still believe it, and at least for me They are my favorite band, I wish all a merry christmas and a happy 2022, cheers from México. Tonight I still be lying here sourrounded in all the light...
HAPPIEST HOLIDAYS to ALL the DT Fanatics (Like Myself Since '92) EVERYWHERE AND The Band !!!!! And Here's To a GREAT Year to come !!! THANK YOU D.T. !!!!!!! You all are THE FUCKING BEST...
Wishing DT and everyone a very blessed Christmas season! Can we have a Xmas DT album please? No one does carols and Xmas songs like you guys. It would be the most rocking Christmas ever!
Questa brano è una splendida dichiarazione di fede in Cristo e credo sia molto coraggiosa! Complimenti! Il vostro pubblico è certamente non abituato a contenuti cristiani. Per una band blasonata come voi è ammirabile e direi una luminosa testimonianza. Il nostro Signore, che vi ha donato così tanto talento, è certamente felice della vostra riconoscenza. Grazie, grazie mille
Thank you, Dream Theater for this outstanding beautiful Christmas gift! May you, your Families and Friends Have A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS FULL OF HAPPINESS AND PEACE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!🎄🎶🎀✨🕯️💖🌟🎉💫👋🏻🤗✨
I am a muslim .but i like this song and DREAM THEATER all album .i am DREAM THEATER fans since i still younger and always .....to you all happy Xmas and happy new year..may god bless you 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
You made me love metal when I was 15, I'm still listening to your music 20 years later. I've seen you live in Paris and it's one of the best memory of my life. Merry christmas to you !
not just the sound but the style of playing, too! Such a unique style MP has!

Well yes that, of course I had noticed that too; How could I not, I mean it's so obvious.. pft.. I would also offer that James' effortlessly perfect and powerful singing is also quite a giveaway that this was indeed recorded some time in the past. CHeers everyone, happy holidays.
This rendition of O Holy Night is so good. Dream Theater are an awesome band. Hope everyone has a very Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers! ✌️❄️☃️🎄🎁⛪🎵🎶🎵🎶🥁🎹🎸
I thought at first that the vocals sounded like Awake b/c of the reverb. then he hit some of those high trills and I was like "there's no way". Then he hit the classic high notes and I was like "yeah this is old".
In my opinion, as Catholic my self, I really loved this version the best. They even have an added verse for it. Very unique verse. And I can really feel the Spirit of Christmas. 🥰 Merry Christmas to all.
Love dream theater and this is great, his singing is straight off of images and words 😎👌♥️🔥👏 merry Christmas ⛄🎄 thanks guys. Definitly would not mind a DT Christmas album 😊👍
Super cool! A fantastic way to start my holidays and a great take on a classic! Thank you DT for taking the time to do this! In permanent holiday rotation.
This was recorded during sound check at the Roseland Theater, Portland, Oregon on June 9th 1993 for those of you wondering.
Oh thank you, I thought that by hearing James, sounding very young
i figured it was something old, definitely not new, thanks & Merry Christmas! :)
So that’s still Kevin on keyboards!! That explains why it sounds so different.
Damn dude!
that Mapex kit ♥
No mater what the sound Dream Theater goes I will follow them always. Merry Christmas to all and may all have a prosperous New Year.
Merry Christmas!🎅🏻
I totally agree.

theres that majestica christmas album, and that alone is very powerful. a DT one would be absoluetly crazy

Not a bad idea. I don't think there's ever been a prog Christmas album.

If God created the world, why was the world born before your God? So who created this world?
Absolutely amazing. Best Christmas song ever. Would have loved a great solo from John but was still great. I need a whole album of Christmas songs from Dream Theater.
The Golden Era; Labrie, Petrucci, Myung, Portnoy and Moore... thank you for this lovely memory.
Merry Christmas all around the world!
Wow, one of my favorite bands singing praises to our Lord and Savior... it just doesn't get any better than this!
This sounds so Awake...
I love It!
That's because it was recorded around the same time.
Man, this really sounds like something out of Images and Words (almost like a more festive Surrounded, perhaps?). Amazing that this sort of energy and feel can be captured even all these years later with a clever twist to it. Amazing work!

Close. When Dream and Day Unite.
It sounds like that because this is just a rerelease of a song they did 30 years ago.
It has the same two-chord progression as the intro of Surrounded (G to C, repeated) and a somewhat similar timbre of the keyboard, so that's a big part of why you think that, lol.

I believe this is the best I've ever heard him.

Honestly can the next album sound like this? Proper 90’s DT vibes here!
edit: just to clarify I love every era of this band!
I feel this too! Nice
Good old ibanez days!
This song was recorded in 1993.

I know, right? Bloody n00bs.
Like me. Thought it was new, but don't matter. Great music transcends time.
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It 'tis the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A prayer of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, when Christ was born [*]
Oh night, when Christ was born
When Christ was born
This song is from the 90's , only members of the DT fan club have heard this song

That was fun! Came into my RUclips feed today (Dec 28). Merry Christmas all!
Feliz Natal DT (my favorite band !) e nosso muito obrigado do Brasil por este presente !
I recall seeing DT play this at the Electric Factory in Philly, circa 1998. A fond memory, and this recording does not diminish it in the least.

That’s amazing . God bless you ❤
Wow. Those vocals!! Thanks for this blessing and a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
Gentlemen...this was amazing. Thank you for sharing this
Wow. My favorite Christmas Tune and now I discover it’s been covered by DT. Incredible!!!!!!
Not a Christmas guy anymore, but I've felt the last few years that DT is God's band, if he ever had one. Fan since 1992. Amazing incredible group.
Yes sir!
Agreeeeeeeeeerd

How long you've been a fan is irrelevant to them uploading this rendition of a classic.
