@@L33Reacts yes he is. Portnoy is perfect for Dream Theater, tbh. His drum fills are more in line with the DT sound so, it's not a question which he's playing on, like it is for Mangini. Mangini sounded the best with Steve Vai, imo, and even songs like Pale Blue Dot from DT that fit his style perfectly. Also, Portnoy contributed way more cuz he's also a great composer and backing vocalist.
This show was phenomenal in Austin. Much respect to Labrie for hanging in there with his vocals.
This whole album is solid. Distance Over Time.
I must See ! ILLUMINATION THEORY AT BOSTON OPERA HOUSE ! Is the best live video DT
Nice man.. first time catching your channel.. love discovering musicians appreciating DT and knowing what’s up
Distance over Time=D/T=Dream Theater
Gonna miss Mangini but Portnoy is just so aaeesome... Both legends, don't know how to feel.
They both definitely rock... portnoy is A straight up living legend 🦵
