That's a mark of a true professional right there

I’m ,laughing my ass off at so many of these comments. Yes, Mangini screwed up. But then some say, “but it was on the pulse” or “okay, he played the wrong part, but it wasn’t a screw up” or “it was JLB’s fault because he had to look to see Jordan showing him the beat”. I’m so glad none of you kids are in my band. 😂 You won’t find a bigger defender of Mangini in the face of Portnoy fanboys than me. But the bottom line is Mangini played the part totally wrong. You can clearly hear him hitting the cymbals trying to find the count and he found it rather quickly. And it threw James off, of which with help from Jordan, got back on it. That’s what bandmates do.

[@TheJakePoole]

From what I hear, it sounds like Mike started the double time about 5 beats too late, which may have thrown James off. I hear a mistake on both of their parts. James if probably use to the snare on the downbeat there, and when he didn't hear it, it probably threw him off. But like true professionals, they fixed it and the show went on. Don't hate on the guys. They're human. There is also the possibility that there could have been a monitor issue, maybe.

Just adding to the general knowledge here, the recording goes into double time and Mangini didn't do that, which probably threw LaBrie off -- Mangini kept tempo, though, so it shouldn't necessarily cause any issues. It is, on the other hand, ironic that in the auditions the band threw all kinds of weird tempos at Mangini and expected him to react instantly while their singer apparently can't do that. Now, in LaBrie's defense, I don't think he sounds as awful as everyone is saying, I think he sounds ok. Could benefit from singing a semitone or two lower though, transposing songs is no sin.

His voice sounds like a balloon getting let out

[@seany4439]

can't blame him for messing up when that nasty voice is screeching in his in ear monitors

[@TheDrummingXbox360]

Mangini's fill to the bridge threw LaBrie, and LaBrie ended up dragging so bad.

[@johnsmith-wo4fr]

Constipated goat vocals.

[@MichaelBerra]

I mean they self corrected in 2 1/2 measures......that's pretty impressive!

[@jimmyeich6250]

It sounded more like James was starting to noticeably lag with tempo (catastrophic for that section) He started to accent the downbeat over and over until James caught up. He’s listening to his band and driving the bus.

[@zurditen]

Labrie se da vuelta porque la cagó y Rudess le marca el tiempo.

[@juancarlos-mj6kq]

LaBrie desgraciadamente no aguanta mas. Su vos está horrible.

[@wersmaster]

Por Dios que canta horrible LaBrie, su voz ya no da más en vivo y es el quién se equivocó en el tiempo y Jordan R. Se lo marca desde atrás.

[@burymeband5410]

We were at this same show! I got a video of the whole song, but the quality is pretty poor. The way they corrected the error speaks volumes about how synergized they are. Many lesser bands would have fallen apart in a similar situation.

[@seanhartel5362]

If they were actually amazingly synergized, the mistake wouldn’t have been made in the first place. Portnoy never would have gotten off beat in any song and never has.

[@burymeband5410]

@@seanhartel5362 Even without Portnoy, I find it difficult to deny the synergy the band still has, even if they are rustier than they used to be. And it's not like this is the first time this sort of thing has happened anyway. The following clip has Portnoy on drums: ruclips.net/video/t_Bdy3vIqVI/видео.html Also, it is worth mentioning that it was James who came in early in this clip with Mangini. The only reason it sounds like Mangini was getting "off beat" is because he was trying to gradually slow down to compensate for the fact that James came in late. Essentially, he was pausing at the end of each measure slightly until he was in time with Labrie's vocal parts.

[@seanhartel5362]

@@burymeband5410 with the luxury of state of the art in ear monitors and a click track, and they still screwed up. That audio you linked to is what, mid 90’s? Yea okay dude, totally the same.

[@burymeband5410]

@@seanhartel5362 If you find that comparison to be unfair, feel free to address the rest of my argument. I am trying to give a rational explanation of what happened and how the band fixed it, but you just seem dead set on blaming Mangini for the whole situation, which is inherently unfair if you actually hear what is happening here.

[@seanhartel5362]

@@burymeband5410 I mean, he is the drummer. He has the most responsibility for time. If you’ve ever played in a band then you know this. Not to say the mistake is only his, but Mangini should be the one getting everyone back on time and not Rudess.

[@benjaminkrake4211]

Literally the first time I’ve heard a significant error from them after 3 live concerts and they fixed it within 10 seconds

[@seanhartel5362]

10 seconds is 8 seconds too long. That is embarrassing for musician’s of their caliber. Would have never happened with Portnoy.

[@paulonunezarqueros8679]

Una! Una de miles....no es nada, es un maestro!

[@ds-fm9tb]

Mangini forgets to change to double-time, but he's still locked in with the band, tempo wise.
Labrie is a bit off-tempo.

[@enzogiarola9629]

Labried definitely messed up, he came a bit too late, then everything got off time whyle Mike tryed to fix it

[@bbiscotti]

@@chrississon5954 No he wasn't. He comes out of that fill on time, and the rest of the band is on time too. Labrie is the only one who is off.

[@davidverna7767]

On 0:15 rudess look to james. I think was james

[@adrinaik93]

Guodlca At 0:09, Mangini starts with the kick drum when in the original song, that part starts with the snare and double pedal in the background, so he starts reversed, or a beat late, doing the snare note out of its place. Then he forms a mess trying to find the beat.

[@makiboysilvestre4512]

labrie is late not magini

[@ChristianIce]

@Guodlca
Yeah, listen to the original.
Mangini is playing another song... that could be distracting :D

[@juanpablojimenez5534]

James dragged it a little bit

[@HunterRouth]

It wouldn't be a bad idea to stop playing this song for like 8 years. Overplayed. So many other great songs they have. The whole new album was perfect and fits his voice. So....

[@seanwool]

That was James all the way. The word "this" was an 1/8th note late and Mangini followed him.

[@ncid8546]

Mike mangini its a robot

[@mrbrownstone2840]

Yes he is, but he can play, you not. 👍

[@youssefelhalaoui9975]

they always fuck up pull me under lol

[@scottxs904]

James is late and it throws Mangini off.

[@eddie1975utube]

Kevin Moore and Mike Portnoy were not only excellent live, but they were extremely creative when it came to composing. Their replacements can play but can’t create the music we’ve heard in Images and Words and Awakenings.
James Labrie unfortunately doesn’t sing as well as he used to. Can you blame him? I don’t think so. You can buy a new drum set, new base, new guitar, new keyboards but you can’t buy new vocal cords. They all wear out with time.
So this may not be their best lineup but that is life. We all peak. Then, we try to just keep going as best we can.
DT has produced masterful albums with magnificent songs that are up there and often surpass the greatest of all time.

[@janandrechristiansen7660]

Vince neil and James should do a duet.
