They were beyond amazing yesterday, one of the best shows I've ever been to! They're all in incredible shape. I've read about a lot of people refusing to buy the tickets because of Labrie. Man, you don't know what you're missing; I'm truly sorry for you.
So great to see James improved so much since London! Was rooting for him to get better soon. (of course he has the sing modified melodies now, but none of us can escape age. At least he sounds in tune in this performance and feels more comfortable with himself)
Todavia hay quienes pretenden que cante como si tuviera 20 años. A la guitarra, la podes afinar y si suena mal, te compras otra o le cambias la cuerda. La voz es única y envejece.
London - Berlin - Cologne - Milan - James ist getting better every show. I was in London and Cologne and that was a huge difference. But also being in London and listening to James in person sounded better than all previous tours.
I think this is JLB's last album with Dream Theater and this one of the last live turns, Mike comes back, this 40th anniversary turn and this last album is kind of a farewell for James.
Ricordo a Roma che i Blind Guardian rimasero impressionati per questa cosa . L’intero concerto era praticamente un coro . Da questo punto di vista insieme al Sud America siamo i migliori.
Just as Portnoy is the only true drummer for DT, LaBrie is the man on the mic.... Yes, his voice has taken a beating after so many years... But look at what he has put it through to give so many amazing performances... And damn, PORTNOY IS BACK!
*FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE ORCHESTRAL OVERTURE AT THE START OF THE SECOND SET* it was composed and produced by me (Joseph Stevenson) and supervised by the band. Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all the kind words about it so far so far, so so lovely to see such positive reactions to it! You guys are just the best ❤️❤️
I was there last night in Milan and it was a wonderful concert!! It's true, La Brie has vocal problems but all in all she did well! I don't like Rudess who is too technical and excessive, but it's a personal taste, I know that many love him..But above all... the king of the drums is finally back!!! 😎❤️💯
My Respect for JL. He is redeeming himself. He has had a lot of hate and destructive criticism but I think he is giving his best effort as he can. I hope he continues improving every show. I can't wait for the Dream theater concert on the 17th of November in Madrid.
Felice che James abbia fornito una migliore prestazione rispetto alla tremenda di Londra ... non tanto per le tonalità (xchè le note alte ormai sono un vecchio ricordo), ma xchè ha cantato in maniera più 'intelligente', applicando qualche trucchetto dato dall'esperienza di anni di 'on-stage'... sul resto della band, sempre al top e Mike on drums è una garanzia !!!! bene per stasera .. non vedo l'ora di andare ...
In certi video è proprio stonato e calante,non in tutto ma spesso ,in più continua a bere acqua ogni 3x2 segno di problemi alla gola ,peccato perché il rientro di Portnoy è una bomba ,e la brie di certo non usa l autotune come qua in Italy ,arriverà a fine tournée mahh😮...buon concerto io li ho visti 10 anni fa in piena forma
The overall sound was pretty bad on the first song in Milan yesterday, but they fixed it over the second and third piece. The rest of the concert was absolutely brilliant. Such a high end performance by each and every one. Perhaps the best performance I've attended, maybe only second to Rome 2005. Stream of consciousness-Octavarium knocked me out
I wouldn’t say they went from epic to boring, but they certainly went to epic-er!!! Holy moly, the crowd responses have been amazing!!! No more people just watching silently-they’re all into it. DT baby!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
They absolutely should be playing songs like Metropolis down an entire step to help out JLB. He sounds good on sounds that he doesn't need to go as high on, no idea why they keep making him embarrass himself on Metropolis every night. Its clearly a song that is very out of his current range.
A little note to all over-critical and self-proclaimed singing experts: James will always be the singer of Dream Theater, in good days and bad, and that's a damn good thing, because the way he is treated with hostility in the comments has nothing to do with his actual performance. Just because he doesn't hit the notes cleanly here and there, doesn't mean he has to be showered with scorn and ridicule right away. The others also make mistakes, but it's easier to hide them in the band structure while James with his clear and high voice has no other singers to hide behind, so you can hear every little slip with him. So wash your ears and come to reality you good-for-nothings.
Все комментарии не о музыке , а о том вытянет Джеймс ноты или нет, и что он стал лучше чем в Лондоне. Группе однозначно нужен другой вокалист или ей лучше сделаться инструментальной
Because he is consistently less pitchy throughout, hits some of the higher notes more on pitch as well. If you disagree you need to listen to the lines side by side.
Hardcore fans desparately searching for excuses why JLB is not as terrible as he actually sounds... No, it is not only his age. In case you don't know: He was younger earlier. And still sounded embarrasingly bad, for decades meanwhile (was great in the beginnig, no doubt). Not being able anymore to reach certain highs... granted. But he many times is totally off with literally everything. Plus, he is audibly forcing his voice to do what it can not do anymore. That ruins it even more every time. There is a point when a professional in any kind of profession has to recognize that it is over. Loose a leg - don't play football anymore. Loose your voice - don't sing anymore. He is the very reason why I don't buy a ticket. The rest of the band is obviously great.
How do you know. Who knows only the band know. I’m sure it will all be clear and sorted eventually. I’ve seen some comments saying this singer and that singer could replace JLB. Not a chance. It’ll take time if they were to do that. I would suggest getting a backing vocalist(s) to cover high points as that would work as other bands do it. A lot of people forget that the tone of James voice is part of the DT legacy/sound and that’s why he is unique. I am glad MP is back and they are sounding brilliant as a unit and of course it’s no secret about James older voice but really as a big fan I’m stoked to see them play much of the old iconic material so well. Just enjoy the ride and if anyone doesn’t want to stay on the ride then get off. Bravo done DT. ❤
are you MF going to piss on James in every video? WTF, dude... get a life, bro... fucking christ, what a piss in the ass see you everyone crying like this... c'mon
No he doesn't sound better than London, maybe even worse. We can't hear him as much in the mix, maybe that's why you find it less painful... @@EricPatton-NC
London was rough, but every show since has been a marked improvement. I honestly didn't think he was still capable of sounding this decent. For the first time ever, he seems to be taking his reduced range into consideration.
James again sounds off, even the modified lines sound bad. If this were a singing context, he would be out in seconds, but come on, this is DT! We cant’t have James undermining Evert performance.
Yes, JL can no longer sing these songs. The rest of the band are killing it. They should have replaced JL after the last tour. Or he should have stepped down out of respect for the music.
Damn I just read this comment as 4:51 happened 😬 Noticed a few mistakes from watching the German shows too. Seems to be MP and JP not having a good time occasionally. Very sad to see
Labrie is improving every night but he is still way flat and straining. And also how is it possible that in every video I watch the audience is more in tune than him and even able to hit the high notes while he doesn’t even try anymore? This is shameful and, tbh, he should call it quits. It should be on his own initiative to retire and not force the rest of the band to do so

James is getting better every concert
Metropolis pt. 1 into Overture 1928 hits HARD!
Man, the whole band is on fire!!! Damnnnn! Good to see them this way!!!
crowd singing along on instrumentals at a DT show is crazy :D
Italian magic!🔥
They should tune one or a half step down if they wanna give a chance JL to reach high notes otherwise there's no way
I really thought they'd be doing that, since they already did in the Images and Words tour of 2017.
Tuning down doesn't help.
They did it before and he still sounded bad.
The chorus of Strange Deja Vu is just embarrassing here.
Like a yelping animal.
So great to see James improved so much since London! Was rooting for him to get better soon.
(of course he has the sing modified melodies now, but none of us can escape age. At least he sounds in tune in this performance and feels more comfortable with himself)
Todavia hay quienes pretenden que cante como si tuviera 20 años. A la guitarra, la podes afinar y si suena mal, te compras otra o le cambias la cuerda. La voz es única y envejece.
You can usually tell in the first few phrases what kind of day James is having. I relaxed after the first line; he sounds good here.
improved indeed, went from terrible to pretty bad.... quite cringy!
5:37 there is a bass solo in metropolis where I do a bass solo
Que maravilla!! Nos vemos en Chile 🇨🇱
London - Berlin - Cologne - Milan - James ist getting better every show. I was in London and Cologne and that was a huge difference. But also being in London and listening to James in person sounded better than all previous tours.
Woho, that's what I call a real crowd!🎉
I was there, wow.
Penonton yg luar biasa, sangat menikmati konsernya DT
That opening is so kick ass!!! The boys are firing on all cylinders! 🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟
James is a badass! 🔥
what a crowd OMG
Dang James sounds real good here? Wtf they got his monitors dialed in now.
I think this is JLB's last album with Dream Theater and this one of the last live turns, Mike comes back, this 40th anniversary turn and this last album is kind of a farewell for James.
we want Kevin Moore... ReTurn3d
I fully agree with you! But I wouldn't mind Sherinian either... Rudess' intrusive and excessive virtuosity really annoyed me.
Can he sing? Well, probably better than Labrie these days. 🤔
Apprezzo i fan italiani che cantano parti strumentali. Mi ricorda il concerto dei Genesis al Circo Massimo.
Ricordo a Roma che i Blind Guardian rimasero impressionati per questa cosa . L’intero concerto era praticamente un coro . Da questo punto di vista insieme al Sud America siamo i migliori.
Just as Portnoy is the only true drummer for DT, LaBrie is the man on the mic.... Yes, his voice has taken a beating after so many years... But look at what he has put it through to give so many amazing performances... And damn, PORTNOY IS BACK!
Awesome!
I wish James would be in-tuned with the band
he's been ruining show for 20 years.
@@DanyNMacF yes it's wear and tear of the vocal chord
Labrie should be good by the Radio City show, right guys?….right guys????? 😅

James much better than London
Agree. I watched some video of that London performance on this song and his voice definitely wasn't warmed up. He def sounds better here
Achei a mesma coisa. Talvez a pressao do primeiro show....
My Respect for JL. He is redeeming himself. He has had a lot of hate and destructive criticism but I think he is giving his best effort as he can. I hope he continues improving every show. I can't wait for the Dream theater concert on the 17th of November in Madrid.
They should start with more easy song to start with. Because James seems has hard time to sing at begging…but such a powerful opening.😂
Absolutely, his voice seems much more controlled, and the variations to lower notes than original have been better adapted
James sounds great....so much better than London
Great?!?!?! Wtf
@@lucianothomas3875yea he sounds great. You can read… want a cookie?
😂😂😂😂

È una cosa oscena.
I don't know you can even sing with the instrumental part lol. This crowd is lit
He should lay off alot of the high stuff and pass it of to the crowd! Can't wait til chicago!!

Miss Mangini already and a new vocal
Sempre fui fã da banda mas o James tá puxando todo mundo pra baixo
4:52 I don't know who made the mistake, was it Mike Speed or John who was late😂, but it's still cool..
The band will retire together... no one will leave....
Many fans avoid the live shows.
Dream theater went from epic... To boring... Back to epic. These guys are like 60 years old how is this possible
I wouldn’t say they went from epic to boring, but they certainly went to epic-er!!! Holy moly, the crowd responses have been amazing!!! No more people just watching silently-they’re all into it. DT baby!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌

Welcome James!
6:30 Jordan wrong sound? Accident?
His foot switch is failed to load next patch. It is low register of current patch.
We was at the London show James cannot hit the high notes it was embarrassing and tickets not cheap
did he playing the count of Tuscany
No

Другого вокалиста не будет, они вместе уйдут на пенсию
без Лабри театр не театр
@@Аркадий-и4м Конечно, им не по 30 лет чтобы составы менять, как это было тогда с Портным
Boh? James mi pare faccia fatica!
In confronto a Londra molto meglio
James 😭
Il momento migliore è quando LaBrie si leva dalle palle. Dispiace dirlo.
James…you are wrong tuning.
Jlb lil' better than London but still almost always out of tube and unable to sing the original melodies😅
Ha big petrucci fuck up coming out of the solo 4:50. These guys sound great!
Human after all
Are you sure? I think it's Portnoys mistake
@@agustinrossi8617?? It was a mistake at the last bend of the fast section... how do you even put portnoy into this. Lol what a kid
but how can you say that James is better? Come on guys, be honest! Just because he makes 2 better high notes? He's in pieces!
I agree. He still sounds absolutely horrible.
He sounds just as bad as the first show. That's the truth.
@@jazzcatjohn Thank you! These people saying he sounds better are either deaf or just simpletons.
Vince Neil is with him !! They need gg allin !!
Because he is consistently less pitchy throughout, hits some of the higher notes more on pitch as well. If you disagree you need to listen to the lines side by side.

James is cringy af..... dragging the band down because he refuses to quit.
They need to replace him ASAP or just stop touring altogether.

horrible! The Vocals ruin every show. Who's gonna replace him? Dino Jelusick?
Labrie ruins the music every time. It's terrible.😢😢😢😢
Labrie has to retire. Plain and simple.
Labrie is ruining everything.. its insane hes still onboard
@@lucianothomas3875 so sad ,but the band play very well ,the need a new singer…
No. Dont watch if you dont like kid
Unfortunately James has a serious problem with his faintin’ vocal skills
yes absolutely
James again sounds off, even the modified lines sound bad. If this were a singing context, he would be out in seconds, but come on, this is DT! We cant’t have James undermining Evert performance.
Poor James, really should leave the old songs to another singer!
Labrie is the ONLY problem ?
Everyone else on their game ??
I love D.T. BUT I'M ASKING FOR THR TRUTH !
Is Labrie the ONLY problem ??
he can't take it anymore
Yes, JL can no longer sing these songs. The rest of the band are killing it. They should have replaced JL after the last tour. Or he should have stepped down out of respect for the music.
Portnoy Is not on Fire Yesterday.....
