Best performance of Pull Me Under by LaBrie in a LONG FREAKING TIME! Hell, everyone his fantastic! Best recording of it since Live at the Marquee. Seriously though, LaBrie is on his A game!
An amazing performance by the whole band! Labrie nailed this one, I just think that he doesn't need that harsh tone that much. I love his clean singing! (:
For LaBrie to be singing PMU as the last song of the night, and hitting all those notes still (fairly well), I thought it was the opener! Can't really knock him can you?
James sounds amazing in this song and I don't say that based on the high notes. I say that based on his level of control and revigorated energy on stage. He's always been an amazing vocalist and shows his full potential in this one.
You mean, God forbid...he's not perfect; or sound just like the studio version. Please...have a try at doing vocals for DT, night after night...year after year, and let's rate YOUR ability
Hey Dream Theater! I have been a fan of you guys for years, and I really want to thank you. You have opened my eyes, made me see a widen panoramic picture. I love your progressive side, but I also love the pop side, Those soft and emotional moments in the music. As both a vocalist and a composer I feel honored to have had the chance to learn from you guys. So glad that you live in my lifetime and not in a thousand years from now! Keep rocking and please never let me down
@@Healpotxlook at other recordings of Labrie from this era. He was amazing. The Astonishing tour was really hard on him. His vocals have degraded a lot since but he was amazing till 2016.
@jaimeG4LV3Z yeah, live vocals usually get bad first but Wacken could be just a bad day, which happens. He sounded excellent for the last time in The Astonishing is what I was trying to say. Nothing he has done since or will in the future wow us anymore cuz he's just old. That was the last time.
"Pull Me Under" Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me and Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow Then some other day I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside of me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is set it right Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Oh that this too Too solid flesh Would melt
I still have great respect for Mike Portnoy. The legacy that Mike Portnoy left in Dream Theater can never be replaced. Mike Portnoy left the band for reasons only know to him. Mike Mangini is in the drivers seat now so to speak. I wish Mike Portnoy all the best with his new band “Son’s of Apollo”.

We had such good rock and metal back then. You know you're an musical icon when you can still pull it off now, just as good as you first did. Not enough of this kind of rock/metal anymore. :
Didn't know about the band til I saw Meytal do a drum cover and loved the chords on the guitar and the keyboards intertwining and just got hooked, great song!
It is an experience you'll never forget...they are the best. I have known them personally since the Majesty days with Charlie Dominici...Their journey is quite extraordinary
Well I'm going to see Shattered Fortress this November with the added unbelievable pleasure of meeting Mike Portnoy himself, so I guess that's the best substitute imaginable, LOL!
Tremendo lpm.por ahí criticamos actuaciones sin tomar en cuenta q bienen de gira ladrando sin parar y es obvio q tienen noches de mierda por suerte son humanos .y no hacen playback jajajajaj
Not generally a fan of this genre but this song is amazing. And a great performance too. Heard it first almost 30 years ago as a young teenager and loved it ever since.
Can't wait to get my dvd in! Love the way it looks and sounds. Mangini is awesome in this. And I think the entire band haven't been this good for a looong while. Don't wanna rant but I also absolutely do not miss MP's naggy backing vocals. Anyways, haven't been excited like this 'boot DT since Scenes.. Awesome stuff!!
.. i agree on M.Mangini looking bored. it's not his usual facial expressions when playing but still i can feel his stage presence just by looking at his limbs, ti's so good to the visual sense seing him go from right-to-left-sided playing. and as for the crowd, that's always the crowd of a DT concert coz they can't catch up with the constant change of time signature. but again, james on the end of the song. fracking love it !!!
Bear in mind, that in both nights (august 19 and 20) Pull Me Under was the last song of the setlist, so expect them to be a bit tired and not with the same energy as if it would be the beginning of the concert.
Thank you, spot on Rudess comment. I love the guy, but in "The Spirit Carries On" auditions, Jordan writes off 2 drummers for adding their own flavor, and he changes Kevin's and Derek's parts constantly. Drives me crazy.
Mangini really brings a whole new element to Dream Theater. He really drives the music like Peart drives Rush, as opposed to just going through the motions.
No he doesn't and how dare you disrespect Neil Peart like that. Christ almighty. If anybody comes close to Neil's drumming it's Mike Portnoy. Mangini just simply sucks dude. He's so robotic and lifeless drumming it sounds like generic shit. He always fucks up the Portnoy Era songs I cringe. Dude can't even play 6:00 from Awake properly.
I'd say it's probably the audio quality. Mind you, you listen to the intro drums on Awake on a good stereo and it's the best drum sound you've ever heard so it's hard to compete in that sense. I think Mangini has filled in well for the band. And he doesn't keep writing songs banging on about how he quit drinking which is a bonus
If you are serious I will answer your question. John Myung, the one with long dark hair, the instrument he plays (usually) is the bass, but when playing live shows he uses (usually) 6 string basses. Take a closer look and you will conclude that it looks different from a guitar. If you are not serious, you got me xD
can't feel it anymore..they sounded soft here..unlike the budokan performance and other of their performances with portnoy..its more lively and heavier..mangini is great but..for me nobody can replace portnoy!!
Overall I like Mangini better than Portnoy but I have to say Portnoy owns this song live and really makes it better than the studio version...Mangini is just doing the studio version note for note and it's kind of boring.
They decidedly miss Mike Portnoy... Mangini is fast but is not him... the song seems the sweet version of the original... and this sound is not the Dream Theater sound... sad but so true...
You're saying it's impossible to have good kick drum sound if it's not triggered? Because that's nonsense. I too think it's the mixing. The whole band sounds mellow and too soft here.

The fact that LaBrie can sound this awesome despite rupturing his vocal cords at one time should earn him some fucking respect around here!
One of the most flawless vocalists out there, espeicially live. His voice is simply on another level.
he had a rough decade or so but he's definitely back. The astonishing album showcases his incredible abilities.
Steve Walsh of Kansas had his voice fail and it took some time to where he could sing again. Of course his was never quite the same.
This is heavily autotuned
Nowadays though.. jesus it's bad
I must not be the only one who listens to this song at least once a week, maybe twice and sometimes three times... It just never get old.
Listened to this song in 1996 and today (2024)
ATLEAST 3 Times per week. Love this live version.
Best performance of Pull Me Under by LaBrie in a LONG FREAKING TIME! Hell, everyone his fantastic! Best recording of it since Live at the Marquee. Seriously though, LaBrie is on his A game!
An amazing performance by the whole band! Labrie nailed this one, I just think that he doesn't need that harsh tone that much. I love his clean singing! (:
I reckon in this context the harsher tone works, I personally think he should use it if he struggles in the “Watch the Sparrow” section
He did rupture his vocal cords and is amazing he sounds this good...
Some of Petrucci's solos make me cry. This is one of them.
It's amazing how Mangini plays so precise and true to the original recording. Impeccable!
Nah. Boring drumming. No soul like MP.
@@sebrura lmao okay
@@sebrura 😂😂😂. sure
@@sebrura hahah ur so quirky for hating mangini omgggg
i prefer mp but thats just me
James's voice sounds like in the "Awake" album!!! It's great!
What a voice, probably the best live version I've heard
so sad, 10 years made its work (
For LaBrie to be singing PMU as the last song of the night, and hitting all those notes still (fairly well), I thought it was the opener! Can't really knock him can you?
James sounds amazing in this song and I don't say that based on the high notes. I say that based on his level of control and revigorated energy on stage. He's always been an amazing vocalist and shows his full potential in this one.
I love the Dream Theater more. Since 2009, I always listening their songs from 1992 up to the latest! I love their music!
They played it very percussively and angrily this time. I am glad to hear this song be played differently.
Jesus Christ labrie is better than he was all those years ago. He's got his growl back AND THAT VIBRATO COULD MOVE OCEANS.
he did very well with this song but if you watch the video of him perform metropolis in the same concert he doesn't do as well
You mean, God forbid...he's not perfect; or sound just like the studio version. Please...have a try at doing vocals for DT, night after night...year after year, and let's rate YOUR ability
+Юрий Plate - No! Jesus Christ did not sing that night! James LaBrie did! Maybe you saw a show that we didn't!!!
Nowadays he is useless for some reason, no one knows what happend...
His voice is really fucking annoying. Ruins the otherwise good song.

You could argue they made you see...
*puts on glasses*
The Bigger Picture.
Sound quality is simply unbelievable. Awesome work!
The vocals of James are really good, the performance was fantastic!
I am usually not a great fan of Labrie's live singing but this one was absolutely stunning. So much energy still after all these years!
awesome show.....Mangini Rules!!DT Forever...
What happened to LaBrie? His voice got so much better..
DVD my man, DVD.

"Pull Me Under"
Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me
This world is spinning without me and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow
Then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him
I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me
The whole world keeps spinning around me
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is to set it right
Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again
This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside of me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is set it right
Pull me under, pull me under
Pull me under, I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done
Oh that this too
Too solid flesh
Would melt
Song has never ceased to give me chills.
They still got it! Running since '92 with this song and never changes! Forever a classic
this guy can sing!!!!
Del Rada *can’t
ace marko shutup
Somebody needs to show James this version so he can sing it like this. He's still capable.
gracias!!!! Dream por esta alegria de grabar el dvd en mi pais. los admiro mucho...son mi banda preferida.
They look they're having so much fun! And LaBrie sounds like a slightly more matured version of his early 90's self, which is awesome.
Almost Cried!!!! Best live show!!! Amazing is not enough
Dream Theater is Back!
Petrucci's live tone is amazing. Especially the leads. Glad this video does him some justice!
I still have great respect for Mike Portnoy. The legacy that Mike Portnoy left in Dream Theater can never be replaced. Mike Portnoy left the band for reasons only know to him. Mike Mangini is in the drivers seat now so to speak. I wish Mike Portnoy all the best with his new band “Son’s of Apollo”.
Is it just me, or is James REAAAALLY improving his live performance, voice-wise?
The singing/sound/all the instruments SOUND AWESOME 👍..everything's right on cue..hard to pull off live sometimes!

I think his voice holds up very well!
JAMES IS A PHOENIX!!!
LaBrie is a monster! But Pull me under is a beautiful song.
Wow JLB sounds really good here! Wish he sound like this at every show 😢
man Mangini is playing it like in the album, amazing !
Didn't know about the band til I saw Meytal do a drum cover and loved the chords on the guitar and the keyboards intertwining and just got hooked, great song!
My fucking god I need to go to a DT show.
I'm seeing them on May Day in Minnesota!!!
GlitchySheepGaming I live in MN as well! Where are they playing?
+pbmdh The State Theater. There are still tickets available!
It is an experience you'll never forget...they are the best. I have known them personally since the Majesty days with Charlie Dominici...Their journey is quite extraordinary
Well I'm going to see Shattered Fortress this November with the added unbelievable pleasure of meeting Mike Portnoy himself, so I guess that's the best substitute imaginable, LOL!
its so great to just see some dudes foolin around on stage while it sounds absoluteley freakin awesome
3:02 Labrie nails it!
Just hearing the intro gives me the chills up the back of me neck! Just fascinating!
Hace tanto que no escuchaba una presentación de LaBrie TAN BUENA CARAJO
QUE BIEN QUE CANTO !!!!!!
Tremendo lpm.por ahí criticamos actuaciones sin tomar en cuenta q bienen de gira ladrando sin parar y es obvio q tienen noches de mierda por suerte son humanos .y no hacen playback jajajajaj
Pienso igual, esta canción está tremenda! 🔥🔥🔥😃😎
he has his bad moments and his good, his vocals for the 20th anniversery dvd his vocals were amzing for that concert
2:48 - Petrucci is really feelin' the Mangini vibes.
One could say thet are toying around at this and still the performance is superb.
That's one of my favorite & the greatest song from them.
what a band man mesmising talent and so natural the timing they have althought its all timings love em xx
john p. tone is KILLER here!!!!
BEST video EVER!!
Can't wait til this release. Hoping they have some special camera features available.
Não sou fã da banda, mas esse som eu tenho que dar os devidos créditos... perfeito!! 🔥

absolutely awesome!
Best James Labrie's performance in years , now i can hear and understand each word of the song , i'm very exciting for the release of the full DVD
7:16 fack yea
Love both the old version and this new fresh one!
Lol he sounds better here than he has so far this century. If this is the end of the set, I can't wait to hear parts where he's at his best.
That moment when I thought James LaBrie pulled out a straight-up Ash Ketchum style Pokémon hat for no reason.
Heavy metal with keyboards!
Great live performance!
Am I the only one who replay this song just to see how Jordan Rudess knocks off the keyboard? Hahaha
Bear in mind, that in both nights (august 19 and 20) Pull Me Under was the last song of the setlist, so expect them to be a bit tired and not with the same energy as if it would be the beginning of the concert.
am I the only one who replays just to hear James Labrie nail the watch the sparrow falling part lol
No,i'm here for this too
He jusf nailed it
Hell yeah that’s why I’m here, that riff right after is sick af too
rebel militia, u sleeping tight?
Im here for this too. & I love the part and replaying it.
Slickity slick. Credit to James for still having the power and attack behind his voice after all this time.
This makes me wanna go to a Dream Theater concert so bad
Seeing them and Opeth, separately as I did really is a killer live experience.
Inolvidable ese recital, va a ser extasiante poder volver a vivirlo con el DVD!
This is for sure the best version of PMU.
I still choose the 2008 version (the version they featured in Guitar Hero: World Tour) and the original version but this version is really great!
Thank you, spot on Rudess comment. I love the guy, but in "The Spirit Carries On" auditions, Jordan writes off 2 drummers for adding their own flavor, and he changes Kevin's and Derek's parts constantly. Drives me crazy.
Mike is better than Mike.
John is better than John.
Kevin is better than Kevin (Kevin James LaBrie)
I really prefer Mike.
you know I respect your opinion but I really think Mike is just sooo much better dude
Lars is better than...
...um...
Hang on it'll come to me...
Uh...
Fuck it I got nothin.
Right on! Awesome, thanks for letting us in on this one. ~Cheers~ B.Champagne
Man, seeing how well he performs this song, then seeing labrie completely unable to hit the high parts 7 years later is sad
Jordan Rudes, chopping those keys!
Petrruci on lead guitar
Myung on bass
LaBrie lead vocals
Mangini on drums
Dream Theater!
Mangini really brings a whole new element to Dream Theater. He really drives the music like Peart drives Rush, as opposed to just going through the motions.
No he doesn't and how dare you disrespect Neil Peart like that. Christ almighty. If anybody comes close to Neil's drumming it's Mike Portnoy. Mangini just simply sucks dude. He's so robotic and lifeless drumming it sounds like generic shit. He always fucks up the Portnoy Era songs I cringe. Dude can't even play 6:00 from Awake properly.
Never get old. Awesome as always :) Come to Montreal plz
Petrucci's solo on this is fucking badass!
Massive sound! I never listen something like that before!
Damn LaBrie, your voice sounds like your early years again!
I'd say it's probably the audio quality. Mind you, you listen to the intro drums on Awake on a good stereo and it's the best drum sound you've ever heard so it's hard to compete in that sense. I think Mangini has filled in well for the band. And he doesn't keep writing songs banging on about how he quit drinking which is a bonus
6:59
pull me under?
Pull me under!
Thanks a lot !! amazing !! james is impressive....thanks for the choice of the song
Jordan is a monster
You need to see how he knocks the keyboard, so beautiful!
Flawless.
Jordan Rudess should change his last name to Rudimentary Badass
You are right ajmaroudas. You can't argue with tallent.
I love ❤️ DT all together I do miss port but love ❤️ magini as well perfect fit + that kit is monstrous!!!!
Who’s looking forward to the new liquid tension experiment album
Jordan Rudeass
Honestly, who could dislike this? This probably their best performance of PMU yet.
Likes Jordan Rudess wizard's hat!
If you are serious I will answer your question. John Myung, the one with long dark hair, the instrument he plays (usually) is the bass, but when playing live shows he uses (usually) 6 string basses.

Are there more women at a DT show or Rush concert?
+lapirata77 Rush. DT is a total sausage fest.
Tony’s in Genoa on Wednesday. And Rusty Bucket on Fridays. I want to see my fellow Westerville North friends from 85 and 86 ❤❤❤❤
can't feel it anymore..they sounded soft here..unlike the budokan performance and other of their performances with portnoy..its more lively and heavier..mangini is great but..for me nobody can replace portnoy!!
It's not The drummer changing all that. It's the audio production
portnoy is nothing compared to mangini
metalhead6777777
agreed!
+fuNkyou0902 Labrie's vocal delivery wasn't the most impressive here.
fuNkyou0902 nothing like the Live in New York performance in the early 90's
Its a live performance and hes getting into the god damn music. If you want it perfectly clean then go listen to the studio version.
Overall I like Mangini better than Portnoy but I have to say Portnoy owns this song live and really makes it better than the studio version...Mangini is just doing the studio version note for note and it's kind of boring.
MM respect MP, and doesnt want to add more because of toxic fans comparing them
Awesome! Cant wait yo see it in Guadalajara Jalisco
They decidedly miss Mike Portnoy... Mangini is fast but is not him... the song seems the sweet version of the original... and this sound is not the Dream Theater sound... sad but so true...
You could say the same about Rudess. Kevin Moore was the present Keyboardist during Images and Words album.
Yeah it's different person man, it cannot be the same.
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!! Total Thanks Dream Theater!!!
The mixing is not done very well cuz can't hear the kick drums smoothly :(
glad the kicks dont sound like axes here, but like bass drums as they should
You're saying it's impossible to have good kick drum sound if it's not triggered? Because that's nonsense. I too think it's the mixing. The whole band sounds mellow and too soft here.
Best intro of all time.
i'm not gonna say mangini is bad, but i love portnoy's style more :|
