I saw DT perform this with him on the Awake tour. DS is a killer keyboard player. He has balls to his playing that is lacking in a lot of keyboard players. It's actually impossible to knock against any of the DT keyboardists as they're all amazing and I wish I could play as good as any of them. I really miss Kevin Moore's magic and his lyrical genius. DT misses his song writing. Derek was an amazing replacement and I think tonally the best of all the DT keyboardists. I've seen Jordan Rudess play solo and his technique is jaw dropping, but IMHO his tone and "wankery" don't emotionally connect with me. Jordan is an incomparable musician but I yearn for some of the other things that Kevin and Derek brought to the band.
I'd give you two thumbs up if I could. I totally agree in every way. I can only add that where Moore and Sherinian complemented the DT sound, I find that Rudess grates and dominates in ways that just ruin it for me. I only wish that Derek had stuck with the band. Who knows how great that might have been?
@@janiikavalko6223 you wrote a very nice writeup here… agree with you, kevin moore is missed. I wish he would do something else with chroma key.. or with Matheos.
If you make music on a high level yourself you cant not analyse - you will auto analyse everythings - if you then know the song you know how often Tony is fucking up here. Dosnt make it a bad performance since everyone (even Petrucci) dosnt play this cleanly through usually. Theres allways something wrong - nobody is perfect - if that woud be it woud sound like midi right? Truth is - Tony was ok for biggest part of the song but specally ending of the solo was totaly fucked - shit happens - move on.
@@dynamicdissonance4016 It's all subject to opinion. I can play not too bad myself i must admit. But I never thought Tony f*cked up anything in this solo.
If the talent these vurtuosoes have meant a bigger paycheck, they would do a lot bettter than all these pop wannabe artist that make music with computer. I am lucky enough to go see Mr. Mac in a month in Ottawa. How lucky would I be if all these guys were there???
Tony Mac the " Kick ass Shredder with Groove and Feel" smashing that 8 string Ibanez...... Love it ... A great version of a classic dream theater number .....
Mac Alpine doesn't butcher anything, not with his level of experience. He has tremendously smooth control and note execution. Also he knows how to compensate.
I recommend everyone to listen to the first solo albums of Macalpine. Incredible technique and really good songs. What you can see here doesn't make justice of his playing. He is also a fine pianist.
This is where it started, as a Sherinian Instrumental. When people badmouth FII and Sherinian, they're forgetting he wrote the best track on the album! Petrucci is responsible for most of the stuff people hate on.
We often forget that falling into infinity is a very good album, so unique... its sound is great as well as ist songs such as new millenium, lines in the sand, hell's kitchen
I Knew DT songs for the first time when DS was on Keyboards... I really like his stile , and for this song, TM was just fabulous on guitar! ES on Bass was impressive! Nice timeless register!!!! Thank you!!!
This is one of my favorite DT songs. First time seeing it was at the House of Blues in Chicago with DT during the Awake tour. Then the kids grew up and I saw this lineup play this song with Jeff Scott Soto and Bublefoot in a Sons of Apollo Show. Amazing. This shred-monster McAlpine shows up and shreds on this video doing the song justice. Thank you for this performance. Epic.
Best drummer in the world would be in my opinion, Simon Philips. Simon can play paradiddles with his feet faster than most professional drummers including the late great Neil Peart.
Man, it's so good to see how much fun they're having playing together. It's always such a treat to just see musicians enjoy getting lost in the music. Even on these songs they (Jerry Shayamalan and Mike) have been playing forever, it's still great to see how they're adding their own flavour and freshening it up.
Portnoy. OMG. This gigantic amount of talent combined with that cosmic amount of work makes mankinds best drummer. The song writing, the technique, the expression, the nuances, the enjoyment at its most enormouns level.
nycfunk Absolutely! I really enjoy listening to Tony and John but Tony is clearly the more versitile player. He did some great jazz-fusion albums with Dennis Chambers
Nailed it man. And another one that was doing it before it was cool, right along Tony was Vinnie f-ing Moore. To this day, these guys set the standard for inspiring prog metal guitar. hell... guitar in general.
Tony doesn't tour with his band in my part of the world but he came here as the keyboardist in Vai's band. I went to that concert hoping to catch him playing the guitar just for a bit. Couldn't really care much for Vai. Lol.
I really love the guitar solo here (even if i don't particulary love the tone of the guitar) i liked the fact that this is not a note-for-note replica, the little changes of the rythm an the melody is really refreshing (same for the keyboard)
Completely monstrous. I've been a fan of Dream Theater for a long time. It's trippy watching Tony's take on Petrucci with Billy Sheehan. Portnoy AND Derek...all these guys are monsters all by themselves.
Cuando escucho lo virtuosos que son. Siento inspiración y ganas de seguir practicando. When I listen to the virtues of these musicians, I just want to keep practicing. 🤘🎸🎵🎼
I saw Shattered Fortress last year and blimey, hearing the DT songs with a different singer and MP on drums brought tears to my eyes. Massive concert. And Eric Gillette is a monster on guitar and vocals as well.

When I watch Derek play it is obvious to me that he was never nerdy enough for Dream Theater.

Couldn't agree more.
Spot on!!

Derek is that Rock On attitude and plays with heart.
@@janiikavalko6223 you wrote a very nice writeup here… agree with you, kevin moore is missed. I wish he would do something else with chroma key.. or with Matheos.
Falling Into Inifinity is a very underrated album. I love it.
it is there MOST underrated album by far! And it is easily one of their best!
Tony MacAlpine - such a Legend.
People who hasn't heard his debut album "Edge Of Insanity", really missed out.❤️
My favourite DT period. No useless "passenger" notes or thoughtless arpeggios. Just tasty atmospheric rhythms and tones
I agree,.. Derek (inclusive Kevin Moore) had the "magical touch sense"
Tony Mac is awesome, Petricci is awesome. Just enjoy, don’t analyse.
If you make music on a high level yourself you cant not analyse - you will auto analyse everythings - if you then know the song you know how often Tony is fucking up here.

@@dynamicdissonance4016 i agree with u dynamic dissonance :)
@@dynamicdissonance4016 It's all subject to opinion. I can play not too bad myself i must admit. But I never thought Tony f*cked up anything in this solo.
Don't tell me what to do!
@@MAGAMAN don’t tell me not to tell you what to do! 😂
A DT song with a keyboard that doesn't sound like Tom and Jerry chase music!
It MUST be Derek Sherinian!
Ginger Knight Never thought of it that way but you're 100% correct.
Exact my thought, i.e. Endless Sacrifice.
Train of thought era is w/ the wizard tho
I think TOT was the last time Mike and John were able to get the shackles on Jordan - Definitely was more of a heavy Indulging Mike kinda album :)
^^^^this... lol i have no complaints about that fact. everyone bashes it but i believe black clouds was the last time they put jordan in a cage
Derek is (past) the real and the best talent and carisma for Dream Theater ever.
Mac Alpine is a badass! So underrated.
Maybe. But his tone sucks ass.
If the talent these vurtuosoes have meant a bigger paycheck, they would do a lot bettter than all these pop wannabe artist that make music with computer. I am lucky enough to go see Mr. Mac in a month in Ottawa. How lucky would I be if all these guys were there???

I agree..petrucci is good, very good but this man has feeling too..my opinion..
Tony can also play circles around Derek Sherinian on the piano.
Doug Cronkhite Haha! Exaggeration much!?
@@Egoblivion Nope. He's right. Derek is a complete hack that uses his fame with DT to manipulate young music students in LA. I've seen it.
TMac perhaps Sheehan are the only real musicians in this setup.
The greatest colab ever watched! Thank you
The guitar solo on this song might be my favorite of the whole DT catalog. Sometimes less is more.
Bily Sheehan... 65 years old.... the bass knight..
Leonardo C and the guy still kills himyself every single night in every single gig! Amazing!
You never get old when you're living your passion.^^.
Myung, Lee, Squire, Levine, Webster,Malone, Sheehan all greats
ive never been able to tolerate sheehans playing OR tone. but he fucked savannah back in the day, so theres that
Flawless. Victory.
Portnoy was the essence of dream theater no doubts
They lost their soul when he left. Also liked Kevin Moore and Sherinian better than Rudess.
Welcome back, Portnoy!
I've played bass for 56 years, and every time I play this,,, damn, so much to absorb. Mind boggling ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Beautiful.
I recommend everyone to listen to the first solo albums of Macalpine. Incredible technique and really good songs. What you can see here doesn't make justice of his playing. He is also a fine pianist.
He’s just laying back and playing the tune. He’s a freakin MONSTER tho.
One of the best DT songs. Absolutely fantastic.
Even without vocals this music is amazing
Soufiane Naim when music start to speak :)
the best music in the underrated album. ironic.
better without vocals
Donghan Lee What?
This is where it started, as a Sherinian Instrumental. When people badmouth FII and Sherinian, they're forgetting he wrote the best track on the album! Petrucci is responsible for most of the stuff people hate on.
We often forget that falling into infinity is a very good album, so unique... its sound is great as well as ist songs such as new millenium, lines in the sand, hell's kitchen
derek at his BEST!!!
Yeah and this explains it
Forgot how great that song is. I love Derek Sherinians keyboard tones! I remember his Leslie sounds live when with DT
yeahh..refreshing..the iconic keyboard sound
Yep. Though i enjoy newer dream theater works, i can't help missing the good old dream theater line-up.
How about that new guy? Jordan or something... he's pretty good too ;)
It's not the original sound
More like retro-freshing.
You know this sound comes stock on a Korg Triton, right?
Simply awesome ! At that time, DT compositions had a power to explode the universe!
I Knew DT songs for the first time when DS was on Keyboards... I really like his stile , and for this song, TM was just fabulous on guitar! ES on Bass was impressive! Nice timeless register!!!! Thank you!!!

Best drummer in the world. Bass player old as your grandpa, rocks like a hurricane.
Best drummer in the world would be in my opinion, Simon Philips. Simon can play paradiddles with his feet faster than most professional drummers including the late great Neil Peart.
Nah, he is the best dramatic drummer. But one day he will twirl the stick with his right hand.
Ohh great Portnoy,GREAT Macalpine! Great everyone of them!
Solo lindo da porra, ouso a dizer que todo ser humano deveria ouvir essa coisa linda uma vez na vida
Concordo plenamente! Aliás, essa formação é brincadeira, hein!
Man, it's so good to see how much fun they're having playing together. It's always such a treat to just see musicians enjoy getting lost in the music.
Even on these songs they (Jerry Shayamalan and Mike) have been playing forever, it's still great to see how they're adding their own flavour and freshening it up.
Go TONY go!!!
Как хорошо что на свете есть такие таланты
No substitute for experience and talent. It's on full display here.
Such an awesome guitar solo
My favorite who ever plays
Billy Sheehan - 4 strings is all that is needed.....
Portnoy. OMG. This gigantic amount of talent combined with that cosmic amount of work makes mankinds best drummer. The song writing, the technique, the expression, the nuances, the enjoyment at its most enormouns level.
Tony killed that! He played JP's parts, but he put his own flavor on it. Loved it.
Virtuosismo en cada instrumento, sentimiento en cada nota......es música!!! Un regalo para todos nosotros y nosotras.
I know these are some of the most maligned DT tunes, but these songs got me through some very dark times.
Derek. My all time fav
Friday evening... iPad+headphones... a funtastic way to enter weekend, bless these guys, they should be ON and ou there, what a chemistry!!!
Best keyboardist since John Lord. Best guitarist and bassist since forever. Best drummer since Neal Peart passed.
Tony MacAlpine was writing and recording progressive music like this when Petrucci was still a student at Berklee.
nycfunk Absolutely! I really enjoy listening to Tony and John but Tony is clearly the more versitile player. He did some great jazz-fusion albums with Dennis Chambers
Nailed it man. And another one that was doing it before it was cool, right along Tony was Vinnie f-ing Moore. To this day, these guys set the standard for inspiring prog metal guitar. hell... guitar in general.
Vinnie Moore does not get the recognition he deserves. #shame.
But in this song he cant take JP standart....
Raymaster7482 yeah!!
I remember that!!
“CAB” with Bunny Brunell!!
Tony's playing is simply impeccable. I haven't heard a guitar sound this good in ages. I'd pay good money to hear that tone live.
Tony doesn't tour with his band in my part of the world but he came here as the keyboardist in Vai's band. I went to that concert hoping to catch him playing the guitar just for a bit. Couldn't really care much for Vai. Lol.
Wow! Awesome mike, Derek, Tony and Billy
I really love the guitar solo here (even if i don't particulary love the tone of the guitar) i liked the fact that this is not a note-for-note replica, the little changes of the rythm an the melody is really refreshing (same for the keyboard)
Amazing, simply amazing!!!
Stunning
Tony McAlpine...still the best
Love the clip. thanks for posting
Derek!!! :-)
How I would have loved to hear Jorn Lande sing with them.
One of the best solos of all times.
Just wow. Finally bringing real musical energy and sound back to legendary DT music!
Mike Portnoy is great on his own. Tony is a GOD and Billy is on another level. Derek is someone whom I have huge respect for.
Melting my face! Awesome!
This is just amazing. Gorgeous.
Refreshingly WONDERFUL !
I love this sound.
Man..., I´m in a struggle today, it´s hard..., I found this video and my soul felt some joy again..., thank you dear idols!!! - THANKS ESTEBAN!!!
Fantastic!!!!
I like to read books while listening to instrumental music, and Tony has accompanied many of my favorite novels.
wow, forgot how good this was :) thanks for the upload
TMac is a God since he can blend in with any types of music.
Fantastic Video !!
What an epic lineup of musicians. Holy wow!
Que grandes!!!Maestros!!!
Puro virtuosismo de estos cuatro grandes musicos concierto espectacular,gracias por compartirlo,saludos
That was tight af. I wish it were the whole song but that enough was amazing.
amazing masterclass of musicians
!!! Fantastic 4 !!!
I love the sound mix here!
100% pure class,,,respect….
Wow! What a lineup! Amazing.
Superb! Could listen to them play 24/7.
Never come across this combo before - great discovery (for me). Now off to look for more.
Great musicians! This is fun to watch.
This is the definition of... SUPER BAND..
Superb !
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing lineup .. oh how I wish for the 90s again ..
WOW made my day.
Just wicked Mike and the crew..
Love it!!! Awesome!!! but... i wouldn't expect anything other than excellence from you guys!!!!!!
Great song of DT. Wonderful version
So love it
Sólo maestros!!
2:38 I fuckin love the vibe of Billy. Enjoying the groove!
Billy Sheehan is my great influence on the Bass.
You know wich kind of pedals he uses???? The sound is amazing !!!!!
This man it's powerfull crazy
Oo my god...what amazing muzishiens
Estoy sumamente satisfecho con tan grande calidad de música y músicos que gran feeling!!
I love Mike's faces throughout the song!
"Holy Mac Sheehan" - This is Great ! You Guys are Super Great !!
Ditto "Stratus" that I just listened to...
Glad I found Your Band !!
Love all these guys - been listening to Tony MacAlipne since "Edge of Insanity".
Completely monstrous. I've been a fan of Dream Theater for a long time. It's trippy watching Tony's take on Petrucci with Billy Sheehan. Portnoy AND Derek...all these guys are monsters all by themselves.
this is the best song of dream theater. if not, it's in the top 3.
Falling Into Infinity... How wrongly underrated...
Hells Kitchen!!!
Falling Into Infinity definitely has some bubble gum radio friendly tracks but this and Trial of Tears are mint.
Falling into infinity: far far better than anything else they recorded after Six Digrees... their last masterpiece
@@martinovittori3585 octavarium and black clouds destroy this shit
Cuando escucho lo virtuosos que son. Siento inspiración y ganas de seguir practicando. When I listen to the virtues of these musicians, I just want to keep practicing. 🤘🎸🎵🎼
dream comes true: watching Sheehan plays Myung's lines🤘
Yeah I’d to see him play The Dance Eternity that would be really cool 😎 both are some of my biggest influences
Dream Team !!!
I saw Shattered Fortress last year and blimey, hearing the DT songs with a different singer and MP on drums brought tears to my eyes. Massive concert. And Eric Gillette is a monster on guitar and vocals as well.
