Too bad the last album sucked ass, they haven't been the same since the Odyssey album. I hope they get back to a more fantasy/mythology sound on their next album. There has been too much simplifying, auto pilot and rock n roll. But they are def one of the absolute most underrated bands in the world together with Pain of Salvation, Voyager and Conception.
@@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen I wouldn't say their last album was THAT bad. It's still catchy prog metal, but no Odyssey or New Mythology Suite or Twilight in Olympus.
@@thundersnow93 The only ok song for me was Nevermore, but I can't even get myself to listen to that one... I just think... anymore, evermore, nevermore... neeevermoorre.. neeeverfuckinmore... like SHUUT UP!!! hahahaha! It is like if they don't blow my mind with the next album I am gonna get really depressed. New Mythology, Divine wings and Odyssey are their masterpieces!
@@thundersnow93 It's the Roadrunner effect. Same thing happend with DT, but they eventually figured it out, as will Romeo. They have to sell records to keep going, and the last one sold really well. It's not like there's as many metalheads buying music any more
So damn good. I love how they didn't rush anything but leaned into each part. They should have this "version" professionally filmed, maybe even with an orchestra. Kind of breathtaking.
I will say - Allen's material is extremely difficult and could maybe cause someone to lose their voice over the years but Labrie's material is leagues harder and Russel has never suffered a vocal injury to my knowledge. I do like Allen's vocals more in general, but there are definitely reasons why Labrie's voice has dipped over the years.
They played this in Albany, NY in like 2009(?). It was their ENCORE. They played the entire song for a bar with like 120 people in it. They went THAT hard for that few people.
Easily one of my favorite bands since way the fuck back. Am absolutely freaking out about a new album from these geniuses soon. Everyone is in peak form too. Fucking hell man. AWESOME!!!
Given that we've begun to crawl out of the ridiculous pandemic times, this felt like an apt encore. Time to come home from the madness. At my show, Russell was also keen to emphasize the importance of music and it's ability to unite us in these divisive times. He was also just a lot of fun to see on stage. Incredibly talented, endlessly positive and gracious, this band deserves even more success than they're getting. They're a genuine classic.
i absolutely love that drummer, he have here the same aproach of carl palmer in pirates live, is amazing, like in the record!, in acolade part 1 his playing is still more incredible, really technique with a lot of preccision and timming, he is really amazing!!, love his parts!, that period of the band was the better and more dinamic...., now are too heavy riff for me...., but fuck, they are incredible, what a guitarrist and singer, and also the keyman is outreageous!
Yeah Pirates is a great comparison to this! Always loved those epic prog ocean story songs haha (Ocean Cloud Marillion, Pirates ELP, The Odyssey Symphony X)
Its cool they are playing The Odyssey, but I'm a bit dissapointed about the rest of the setlist. I mean its almost exactly the same than in their last tour, you would think they had some time to practise few other songs what we didnt hear for awhile.
Great performance like always (I was at the Worcester gig)...but for the record that is not the full song...the last 45 seconds or so was cut out at the end 🤔
Man, the recording skips the ending :( But nevertheless, so good. It's an honest shame that in year 2024 we still don't have a proper live recording of this song. Like, the last live recording from SX is so old, people were still afraid of the Y2K virus
Why the **** they playing in some club??? They must have show on stadium/open air and 100k+ people!! Guys, now you are so much underrated but history doesnt lie, dont worry.
Man, After that "fucking messed up" Sea Of Lie solo in Bloodstock festival, I can't view Romeo as the same guitarist ads before. Well, still. Masterpiece song is a masterpiece
Shame they are no longer playing along the original orchestration. It seems to have been a pain, as Michael Romeo has been explaining many years ago, but today should not be that difficult. Oh, well... Still a great performance. And Russell Allen is definitely one of the most exciting modern vocalists.
Transatlantic The Whirlwind takes the cake… sorry guys…. If you know… you KNOW…. my best friend past from cancer 2 months ago… big fan of SX and Transatlantic…..
Be very careful when posting a clip of The Odyssey that cuts it short. It just might ruin someone's day, especially if they were lead to believe it was the "FULL SONG"
Gets to the last few seconds of a 25 minute song, that perfectly draws the curtain on the whole experience. Cammer: 🤔This seems like a good time to stop recording🤷♂
I wish those guys would create a decent DVD from their concerts. I saw them in Copenhagen 2016, Pumpehuset with support MYRATH, and that was anevening I wil never forget, but RUclips is filled with recordings from peoples phones and other things with crap sound and shaking pictures... (my God). Put the phones away and enjoy the concert. Create a DVD instead. You are doing NO GOOD for the band. And this video is even one of the "better"....
Almost like pop stars, playback.... 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Let other people fucking learn how to play live ❤❤❤ I saw you 20 years ago, nothing has changed, maybe your beards and mine are a little grayer... 👍👍
I think he drank some. At the start of the concert he was playing clean and than slightly less. After the concert I talked to him and my impression is that he was maybe a bit drunk. Couldn't really tell because it wasn't too obvious but maybe he did drink more than he should have maybe it is just what I though I dont know.
The lack of any live albums from a band who sound this good live is a damn travesty.
Live on the Edge of Forever! Check it out.
@@cmjacques They are due for a new one - even that record is not a very good showcase of how great the guys are live
Symphony-X is SUCH an underrated band! They are absolutely KILLING it in this performance.

I'm gonna name my son Triumphant Champion of Ithaca.
Literally lol’d
Lol
I would be so proud of you
@@katiewalters5317 lol
Ith for short....lols
What an absolutely stunning performance by Russel Allen. I have yet to hear a metal singer whose intonation is so good live.
I can't imagine what it's like to see them perform this song in the flesh, what a masterpiece.
imagine them doing it but you had to leave 5 minutes in to get the last train home.....
@@RobinsBookClub Pain.
I got lucky enough to see it live back in like 2002... my mind - blown.
its good. promise.
Performing this song live is incredibly challenging in every aspect, from the drums to the vocals, but they absolutely nailed it.
I was on the fence for driving 3 hrs each way to Orlando. After seeing this it's a no brainer! Symphony X AND Haken? HELL YEAH!!
Russell sounds so good.
Russell sounds amazing. I really wish this was this case with James Laurie

Imagine him singing with DT. Endless Magnificence
Russell Allen being in TSO has been an amazing exercise in how to maintain a killer metal voice to perform live
They played this in Albany, NY in like 2009(?). It was their ENCORE. They played the entire song for a bar with like 120 people in it. They went THAT hard for that few people.
WAY more people last time I saw them (which was much later) but same thing, amazing for an encore!!
My Fave
Russell Allen gave this one everything.. on the encore of a Sym X set. He just about made it to the end. Legend!
For the age of the band and their members they're just superb!!!!
Easily one of my favorite bands since way the fuck back. Am absolutely freaking out about a new album from these geniuses soon. Everyone is in peak form too. Fucking hell man. AWESOME!!!
Russ is sounding superb
this dont sound nothing to rush...!, this sounds to elp and kansas with metal touch.

this is my favorite song of theirs. I'm thinking I need to go see this in June.
Was an amazing show
Brilliant performance! They're beasts.
Sounds amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤘!! Thank you for this superb video !! now can we see them live here in Sweden !
Absolutely freaking awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this one!
The best metal band in the world!❤️
Épico demais!!! Os caras merecem um Dvd em 8k, com essas músicas simplesmente épicas!!!
Perfection!!!!
Never heard Russel so good live D: Amazing, must've been practising like hell
Russel allen is a amazing singer. The guy can do an awesome performance in live
Odissey still their best album
This is how perfection sounds
Masterpiece
this is insanely played live............. wauw.
Cool footage, sounds great
I would love to see a video with a nice quality which they play Acollade 1 and 2. Maybe one day they decide to record it.
i wish youtube had more like butons... so many moments that worth
Temazo!!!!
I will see them in Helsinki in exactly 1 month :)
Cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Rullo rules as allways! Cant even imagine such stamina to hold it in such pressure for 24 minutes!
MONSTERS!

Imagine Dream Theater with a vocalist like Russel
Great performance like always (I was at the Worcester gig)...but for the record that is not the full song...the last 45 seconds or so was cut out at the end 🤔
Contando las semanas para su arribo por Tierras Chilenas ...!!!
this song is insane.... it would be applaused by Mozart himself...
The VOCAL HARMONIES stick out, tough to pull off! Great work on this performance
6:20 i see the bassist also cant resist air keyboarding this part like myself.
Please come to Kansas City Mo. to the Truman
Man, the recording skips the ending :( But nevertheless, so good. It's an honest shame that in year 2024 we still don't have a proper live recording of this song. Like, the last live recording from SX is so old, people were still afraid of the Y2K virus
MICHAEL ROMEO💪😡🤘🎸
The odyssey is good very good
But i hope they play The divine Wings Tragedy some times
Why the **** they playing in some club??? They must have show on stadium/open air and 100k+ people!!
Guys, now you are so much underrated but history doesnt lie, dont worry.

When I came to the concert thr left side was occupied im lucky I got in the front
@@markrus6712 👍
He's at Michael's side lol
Which Michael? Romeo, Pinnella or LePond 😀😀
Damn! Russ live is better than studio.
Not Romeo, he's the sloppiest of them all nowadays
Where is the fuckin smoke and mirros
Definitely would like to see that!
Almost like pop stars, playback.... 🤘🤘🤘🤘

To bad the mixing sucks guitar over powers everything
