I was there in the crowd. After so many hours standing up, felt really tired and almost dehydrated, when the first notes of Count of Tuscany started to kick in, it was almost 2:00 in the morning, and it made all the effort to endure the long night of concert worthwhile (Sepultura, Gojira and Iron Maiden performed before Dream Theater). It was my first ever Dream Theater concert and I will never forget how hypnotic John Petrucci sounds live. They are so amazing.
That's a guitar he's playing? Hmm it don't sound like the instrumental guitar of earlier metal. Like "Seputura and Iron Maiden". Some of it does, I don't take away from them as musicians. Personally I never thought a keyboard belonged in a metal band. But I'm old still old school metal I guess. They are talented. Singer can hit em. They don't put on a cheap show.
This band has something for almost everyone. Enough metal edge for the rocker, enough quality guitar to make Van Halen fans drool, enough innovative use of keyboards for the Kansas, Styx, Mahogany Rush, enthusiast, and a moving baseline and clear, concise and interesting vocals/lyrics-for the Rush lover.
@@midpupposIII i wanted to say that in the way they master music, technic and their instruments. Certainly the best band of all time on this point. Do you see any other candidates ?
*"The Count of Tuscany"* is definitely the most beautiful DT song from all of the modern albums and I don't think a single song has come close since the post-Portnoy era.
These guys are such talented musicians. Who else reads the music while their playing these days? Every song, for each musician of the band, is one-long-assed-solo! No simple 1-4-5 chord progressions here!
Everything you need to know about Dream Theater lies in these fractions of seconds in the eyes of this girl [00:35 - 00:42], whose emotions will not leave almost anyone indifferent. And it’s truly fucking magical and heartbreaking.
HAHA. And to think he was accused of lip syncing! I love the band immensely and hold no ill will against the man but there are four unparalleled geniuses of musical performance up there-- and then him. At least bring him down in the mix! He's way out front here.
Its a real shame whats happened to his voice; he gave everything for so many years...no shame to step down and let a youngun take over, at least on the live shows.
@@danielmcampbell297 Honestly at this point he should do lip syncing because he singing completely ruins the song. He sounds like he's drowning in water, he's always out of breath and is crying like an old man about to die.
Always knew of DT but never paid much attention to them….then I heard Count around 6-7 years ago and as a guitar player I was hooked and have been since. I learned it on guitar-took me a month!! But was an amazing introduction into the greatness of this band. Have since seen them multiple times live and have attended JP’s guitar camp 1.0 which was an incredible experience and haven’t looked back-great band, pre-Mangini and post-Portnoy. JP is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
The opening clean intro is not that hard... I took a single week to learn that clean intro and solo part... Played on my acoustic... Trust me I cried when I plugged my acoustic with a simple chorus pedal... It's heavenly sounding...
My Ringtone is The Count of Tuscany.... only an example how much I love this Band and this song... I cried for the entire performance...... Love DT....
so lucky Growing up and living in the era of dream theater, witnessing this great show was the best moment of my life... ❤ ❤❤ solo, manahan 10 august 2022, jakarta, & Ancol ecopark 12 mei 2023 ❤❤❤
Finally good footage of this song live. This is my favorite DT song. I would littery feel like the girl crying when Petrucci starts the first solo if I had been there. This song spiritually moves me like no other song ever.
Damn! It breaks my heart to watch James sing like this, I understand age is taking over his voice and its not easy to sing those high notes anymore, I have watched him sing live in his 'better' days. This just feels miserable.
I saw them when they first got back on tour again after COVID and James sounded really good probably from having time off to rest but now he sounds really strained and tired again. It's sad to see because he was a beast in his prime
It can’t be easy for him, knowing he doesn’t have the same vocal ability as he did when he was younger. But it wouldn’t be Dream Theater without him, regardless of singing ability.
Been listening to DT since '92. Amazing band no matter who is in it. James is older and been singing forever. He will never sound the same but loyalty still means something to some people (kudos to Petrucci). My favorite band and always will be!!
DT should do like Weezer and do cover albums, and not only the same recipe over and over. Always loved their sound and each record as its jewel but since Dave departure mostly 80% of it feels like taking te piss
I don’t understand why they don’t just play the old material in Eb so it’s more comfortable for James, a lot of bands do it with much younger singers. There’s no shame on doing that and it would sound much better.
Remember this album (and song in particular) really restoring my faith in the band! Saw this performed live a the 'Thebarton Theater' live in Adelaide South Australia with Portnoy. Changed my life for ever, what an incredible display of musicianship!!! So glad to see Mike Portnoy back in the line up & cant wait for the new material. 🙌 Hail from Australia, & we all love ya!
I flew 1500km to see them in Adelaide in 2008. They played in a tin shed at the showgrounds, so the acoustics were absolute dogshit. Neither gold nor silver tickets sold out, so you had a fairly small crowd that was then split in half (front and back) with empty floor and a fence between them. I couldn't find the bar. My friend fell ill and ghosted me during the intermission. But the intermission ended with the beginning of Metropolis Pt1, followed by six consecutive tracks from Metropolis Pt2, and I had the time of my fucking life.
Also doesn't help that there's like zero compression or reverb and barely any gain on his voice here which, considering every other instrument does, it makes his voice just sound weaker by default in comparison to the rest of the band.
@@TheBlackQueen Agree. I do a little FOH engineering and was surprised at the mix. The older we get the high register vocal chords just don't last........ but the vocal mix was dry. In any case, great performance.
I've seen James catching a lot of grief from some of these comments and I would like to address that. For one, keep in mind the size of that crowd and the amount of pressure on him as the voice of the band. Have they performed shows of this size before? I don't know for certain, but it is very likely. Does that matter? No. I couldn't imagine getting up there and singing a single line, let alone an entire concert. James is also pushing 60, if not already there, so singing like he did 20 years ago is probably extremely difficult. Another thing worth mentioning is at what point in their tour this was recorded at. The man could be incredibly exhausted. I would be. So with all of that being said, my final argument is that nobody in the band needs to be replaced. You have to keep in mind that these guys are a family at this point. To us, the band members can be inspiring musicians to look up to. To each other, they are family. It's as simple as that.
L. O. L. You are the reason why this band never can develop as they should, with a NEW and at least good enough singer. He has played maybe thousands of shows. No excuse!
Super band, super music, super sound and super video quality. Everything that has to do with Dream Theater is undoubtedly mind-blowing. The best there were, there are and there ever will be! 👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
This is Rock In Rio😂😂😂 Many singers sing so bad on this Festival. Maybe bad monitoring... Listen Angra 2011Rock in Rio, Sebastian Bach Rock in Rio 2011 (or 2012) Angra absolutely win. 😂😂😂
Ofcourse, he's a drumbot. Portnoy brought much prog and inspiration along the way, this guy just drums and has not much creativity, sadly. Can't hold a candle to what Mike has done for the band or the genre.
Thats it Mike Mangini is my favorite drummer! Hands down. I appreciate that he respects Mike Portnoys Drum parts in Pull Me Under. The man deserves respect! 🙌🏻
Respect the band they are the best musicians on the planet, i got to see them in their last rare uk tour and are warily then best musicians I’ve seen in my life. Wizards
The Count of Tuscany makes me feel like standing upon the field of Tuscany in Italy!! I just visited the Italy just one time but, I remember the atmosphere n feeling in Italy through this great song and player!!
The intro to this song is one of the more beautiful pieces of music from the entire DT catalog. I love it. That was really cool how much this song meant to that woman toward the beginning of this song.
I've seen them many times, indoor and outdoor . They never ever disappointed me, made me always happy. Thank you for all the good times and I am looking forward to more good and happy times.
Labrie is a legend in his own right. His performance here is excellent given when these songs were written and how hard they are to pull off live, especially Pull Me Under.
...the musicianship in each of these members is just too good....or should i say great??? Be it writing, composing, performing etc etc. Amazing band. 🎼🗣️🎤🎵🎸🎸🥁🎶😍👍👍👍..
Damn!, Count of Tuscany is a very beautiful song.👍 But as a guitarist, cant help but be impressed with J.P's guitar playing especially his tone in "Pull Me Under" one of my favorite songs in DT because as iconic as it is, it's also one of the "easiest" to play among all the DT songs, Just love the sparkling cleans on the intro and the crunchy gain on the verses, so crunchy it taste like food to my ears.🤤my fave part is the riffing, Can't help but headbang on the crushing E minor chord ( 27:27 - 28:27) Cheers!🤘
Tuve la suerte de verlos en vivo el 7 de septiembre en Buenos Aires, fue un show magnífico, es increíble como uno se desconecta del mundo con sus canciones y viaja en cada nota ejecutada. Realmente uno de los mejores concierto al que fui. Ojalá los vuelva a ver 🤘 DT ❤️
And one more thing.They are on Tour since couple months and LaBrie is tired !His Voice is not in the same condition like here in Vienna in 11 of June where I was at.For me one of the greatest Musicians and Humans on the Stage ever!❤️❤️❤️
He hasn’t been in a “good” condition since the Dramatic turn of events Tour like 10 years ago. I was watching Live at Luna Park concert the other day and LaBrie sounded absolutely Fcking amazing, I don’t know what happened to him after that. His voice hasn’t been the same
I remember several years ago I attended a concert and at the start they announced that you didn't need to record the show because they were recording it and everyone that attended would be able to buy a downloadable copy immediately after. The price was really reasonable too, was only like $10 or $20, and it was of course really good quality. Unfortunately it seems that didn't catch on.
@@andrewawakened628 was at a show where LaBrie said to go ahead and take some clips but try to just enjoy the live show. When I went to take a clip, some usher came up and told me to turn it off. Told him what LaBrie said and he gave me some crap about someone in the audience complained. I said who? He replied, someone. Riiight, I said and finished my clip. I get the bootleg issues but come on. I pay my way and my phone was on my lap in the balcony front on low light. Mind your own damned business.
To me the mix is horrible. Only the guitar, the bass and the keyboard can be heard clearly. Drums are too quiet and the bass drum is inaudible. Labries microphone sounds like it's at 20% gain and it's very quiet as well. No high frequencies are there, they're all drowned, I don't believe that even raw microphone recording can sound that horrible. Plus no compression on Labrie, so it sounds like he stops singing and his voice falls into silence when it cleary doesn't. Luna park definitely wasn't their best mix, but come on, this is even worse than wacken 2015. Give us this amazing footage with normal sound like distant memories, score or BTFW... P.S. it's possible that they'll take this recording and make some sort of Lost not Forgotten bootleg out of it that will sound well. That would be nice.
I was there in the crowd. After so many hours standing up, felt really tired and almost dehydrated, when the first notes of Count of Tuscany started to kick in, it was almost 2:00 in the morning, and it made all the effort to endure the long night of concert worthwhile (Sepultura, Gojira and Iron Maiden performed before Dream Theater). It was my first ever Dream Theater concert and I will never forget how hypnotic John Petrucci sounds live. They are so amazing.
gojira, maiden, AND dream theater?? jealous
@@jonathanberry1420 Yes, it was the first Rock In Rio after the pandemic, so I guess the promoters wanted to make a splash.
Dream theater is Magic Music
Вы везунчик!
Yeah he is amazing. Hopefully getting to see them again in March.
John Petrucci's guitar playing here is pure genius.
As it always is for sure.
well the cult worship aside, is there a lesser or impure genius? around?
Hi john
He's a super cool guy, too.
Work work work work
The solo at the end of the Count of Tuscany is just.....wow.
EVERYTIME Petrucci hits these first intro notes I get chills. Everytime. This guy is a f` genius.
PETRUCCI IS CLASSICALY
TRAINED GUITARIST 👌
That's a guitar he's playing? Hmm it don't sound like the instrumental guitar of earlier metal. Like "Seputura and Iron Maiden". Some of it does, I don't take away from them as musicians. Personally I never thought a keyboard belonged in a metal band. But I'm old still old school metal I guess. They are talented. Singer can hit em. They don't put on a cheap show.
This band has something for almost everyone. Enough metal edge for the rocker, enough quality guitar to make Van Halen fans drool, enough innovative use of keyboards for the Kansas, Styx, Mahogany Rush, enthusiast, and a moving baseline and clear, concise and interesting vocals/lyrics-for the Rush lover.
No bleghs
Hi james
Van Halen fans drool because they have mental issues about what a great guitarist is...
no one listens to Rush for the vocals
Exactly! Back in ‘92 I used to tell anyone who would listen that it was like Yngwie meets Rush…
Dream theater=best band in the world
if the drummer is Portnoy
@@midpupposIII i wanted to say that in the way they master music, technic and their instruments. Certainly the best band of all time on this point. Do you see any other candidates ?
@niezam_mz4465 oh ffs, give it a rest already🙄
absolutely ...
Labrie sounds awful
*"The Count of Tuscany"* is definitely the most beautiful DT song from all of the modern albums and I don't think a single song has come close since the post-Portnoy era.
Yeah and last album with Portnoy. Also the last song of the Black Clouds & Silver Linings album I think
I agree mostly. Illumination Theory I think is a great DT epic post Portnoy. Also Breaking All Illusions
Since Portnoy left, the band hasn't been the same, a few odd moments but not in the same league.
@@PatKennedydon It's probably because Manjini hasn't been utilised enough because Jordan and JP need that third wheel for the full musical side of it.
Who is the count based upon? Was he real?
That note at 13:45 simply gets me every time. I'd be nervous I'd miss the harmonic. Amazing
Yeah 🌚
This Song Is astonishing
No you wouldn't. If you miss harmonic, just don't step the volume button. Re-try then volume it up ;)
Same aha 😂
pretty easy to hit compared to a pinch harmonic. You just need to be right over the fret. But yeah still happens..
These guys are such talented musicians. Who else reads the music while their playing these days? Every song, for each musician of the band, is one-long-assed-solo! No simple 1-4-5 chord progressions here!
John Sykes is same time playing rhythm and solo and singin❤❤

and she says " OMG, this is my song!" beautiful moment...
Yeah, I was lucky to experience this during a live show. This song is very special.
It's a shame the singing is so bad. No offence to James but he should step down and retire with dignity.
....muah....I see only Pink Floyd T-shirt
She's shaking knowing it will be a brief magical moment but well worth all the pain in life!
It's amazing to see sooo many Brazilian women enjoying DT live!!!
Brazil is largely into rock. One of the few nations left that highly enjoys it and pays for it.
And enjoying DP, too!
Brazilian audience also SINGS THE SONGS during the show
and still, this is the most quiet crowd in rock in rio ive ever seen - thanks to Mr. Labrie
@@mirzasalkic2617 I think I know why you are saying this but just to confirm, why?
I like how the beginning of the atmospheric middle part has completely different chords and melody than the studio version. Makes it really special.
It was Rhapsody In Blue by Gershwin
@@DannyMiami09 that part of the LTE cover did remind me of CoT
Yes. Also Labrie's vocals in the chorus. Hits different!
ah i see, thats why it sounds like from LTE ver
Mernurut saya ..dream theater sejauh ini adalah grub band terbaik sepanjang masa.. dengan progesive metalnya
Yoi 🎉
Ya benar, dengan tempo bunyi yg complex kayak mendengar matematika, band yg genius.
ketika para pro alat musik membuat band
Harmonisasi dan kejelasan nada tiap instrumen, dream theater no 1 👏
Putting rhapsody in blue in that guitar solo ….. perfect
you know jordan is the best when people are doing air keyboard in the crowd

Great performance. Love the small inclusion of " Rhapsody In Blue " during John's solo segment in " The Count Of Tuscany. "
Yeah, I noticed that aswell!
Same here and I listened to Disc 1 of 'Liquid Tension Experiment 3' just today therefore it immediately struck me!
Yep . they started recording BCSL right after the 2008 LTE Tour in which this track was Covered live . so it is definetly an inspiration
DT should do like Weezer and do cover albums, and not only the same recipe over and over.
Always loved their sound and each record as its jewel but since Dave departure mostly 80% of it feels like taking te piss

They did for recent images and words tour
Helloween?? Kiske??? noooooooooo .
At this point, I wouldn't even be opposed to them just auto-tuning James for live performances.
Seems like he's not singing the low notes that well either. I think his voice just can't stand up to a long tour anymore.
Remember this album (and song in particular) really restoring my faith in the band! Saw this performed live a the 'Thebarton Theater' live in Adelaide South Australia with Portnoy.

Lyrics are absolute trash though lol - "I'm scared!" "Don't be man" "Oh ok"
That insert of Gershwin's Rhapsody in blue... divine!
You should check out liquid tension with John Petrucci. They do a 14 minute version of the song.

🤟respect for the masters of music of the beautiful emotions of the right feelings. thanks Dream Theater 🤘
John Myung is the most underrated musician ever.

La Brie dal vivo è sempre stato al limite, non ce la fa più….dovrebbero abbassare di un tono effetivamente
I agree, his voice completely dissapeard a few times there
Super performance as usual from the GOAT team, love you forever Dream Theater.

That 00:35 was me when watching surrounded live (and first DT live ever) for the first time right from the stage barrier. The magic of music.
Are you the girl or either one of the guys?
@@anselmo5104 nah I'm a trans. Choose anything you like
@@srjx2421no, I mean which one is you?
세월이 흘러도 완벽한 사운드는 변함없군요. 보컬하시는분이 후반에 힘이 빠지신듯하지만 여전히 멋진 사운드 너무 잘 감상했습니다.
I've seen them many times, indoor and outdoor . They never ever disappointed me, made me always happy. Thank you for all the good times and I am looking forward to more good and happy times.
the best heaviest longest emo interlude and solo for me in this album of black clouds and silver linings.
what a great stage, great videos, great sound. it's like a theater of dream \m/
have to say brazil is the best place for live concert 🔥...
Dude, this tour, closing with the count of tuscany, dude
They closed the show with it in Australia about 2016 or so, i nearly died!!!!!
11:30 that a little fragment from Rhapsody in Blue, specifically the version by Liquid Tension Experiment. Mind blowing.
Thank you man behind the audio mixer, for delivering beautiful DT's live audio to may ears
WOW!! James has REALLY been practicing!!! 24:40
Labrie is a legend in his own right. His performance here is excellent given when these songs were written and how hard they are to pull off live, especially Pull Me Under.
There were that accident too, he ruptured three vocal cords after vomiting from food poisoning or something, isn't it?
@@alexbriskiewicz allergic reaction from shellfish i think
A legend that should stop immediatly. Live experience is going down the drain quickly.
18:05 Always gives me chills . from the vocal to the bend is beautiful
This is my favorite part of the song, every time I get goosebumps
Since 2022 until today this song has been the most played song on my playlist and each time I hear the outro goosebumps till tip of my toe. ❤❤❤❤❤
...the musicianship in each of these members is just too good....or should i say great??? Be it writing, composing, performing etc etc. Amazing band.
🎼🗣️🎤🎵🎸🎸🥁🎶😍👍👍👍..
Obrigado Dream Theater!
Damn!, Count of Tuscany is a very beautiful song.👍 But as a guitarist, cant help but be impressed with J.P's guitar playing especially his tone in "Pull Me Under" one of my favorite songs in DT because as iconic as it is, it's also one of the "easiest" to play among all the DT songs, Just love the sparkling cleans on the intro and the crunchy gain on the verses, so crunchy it taste like food to my ears.🤤my fave part is the riffing, Can't help but headbang on the crushing E minor chord ( 27:27 - 28:27) Cheers!🤘
Tuve la suerte de verlos en vivo el 7 de septiembre en Buenos Aires, fue un show magnífico, es increíble como uno se desconecta del mundo con sus canciones y viaja en cada nota ejecutada. Realmente uno de los mejores concierto al que fui. Ojalá los vuelva a ver 🤘 DT ❤️
Damn, These chugs at the end of pull me over! Goosebumbs all over my Body. Nice!
23:00 I love how Jordan has pimped up the keyboard part for this section here
Intro solo sounds superb, amazing 😭❤️
Miss portnoy groove, mangini is like a machine
Drums are so quiet. But an amazing performance!
@Solar I agree I thing they focused more on Keyboards and guitars rather than the whole mix.
Which is funny because I've seen them live in May and the drums were honestly too loud, I was enjoying them but my ears were gone after the concert
they changed to drummer in 2008 end of her carreer
I hate the sound of the bass drum
Agreed!
Spectacular the mix is great I like the singer's voice I would like that. The lighting was first class as well as the staging.
Amazing,Mike Mangini,UFO,Máster Drummer!!!!!! Kit!!!!!!DT👍💪🙏😲💯🥁
And one more thing.They are on Tour since couple months and LaBrie is tired !His Voice is not in the same condition like here in Vienna in 11 of June where I was at.For me one of the greatest Musicians and Humans on the Stage ever!❤️❤️❤️
He hasn’t been in a “good” condition since the Dramatic turn of events Tour like 10 years ago.
I was watching Live at Luna Park concert the other day and LaBrie sounded absolutely Fcking amazing, I don’t know what happened to him after that. His voice hasn’t been the same
@@Bingusman I got you, but somehow he sounded well here in Vienna.For me he is amazing anyway😁otherwise Lina Park was AMAZING show ,cheers 🤘
It's great to see the crowd enjoying the show without recording it 😀
Too busy focusing on the hands to record :D ...... James Labrie is struggling to sing this stuff now though tbh, he's letting down the band
I remember several years ago I attended a concert and at the start they announced that you didn't need to record the show because they were recording it and everyone that attended would be able to buy a downloadable copy immediately after. The price was really reasonable too, was only like $10 or $20, and it was of course really good quality. Unfortunately it seems that didn't catch on.
@@andrewawakened628 was at a show where LaBrie said to go ahead and take some clips but try to just enjoy the live show.
When I went to take a clip, some usher came up and told me to turn it off. Told him what LaBrie said and he gave me some crap about someone in the audience complained.
I said who? He replied, someone. Riiight, I said and finished my clip.
I get the bootleg issues but come on. I pay my way and my phone was on my lap in the balcony front on low light.
Mind your own damned business.
Maybe they had their phones stolen since that's in Brasil
@@Johnny_0706 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Much better mix than Live at Luna Park. We can actually hear John Myung's bass here.
To me the mix is horrible. Only the guitar, the bass and the keyboard can be heard clearly. Drums are too quiet and the bass drum is inaudible. Labries microphone sounds like it's at 20% gain and it's very quiet as well. No high frequencies are there, they're all drowned, I don't believe that even raw microphone recording can sound that horrible. Plus no compression on Labrie, so it sounds like he stops singing and his voice falls into silence when it cleary doesn't.
Luna park definitely wasn't their best mix, but come on, this is even worse than wacken 2015.
Give us this amazing footage with normal sound like distant memories, score or BTFW...
P.S. it's possible that they'll take this recording and make some sort of Lost not Forgotten bootleg out of it that will sound well. That would be nice.
@@linuxuser2142 Yeah the compression is missing
But i'm glad I finally hear a Performance of labrie again that isn't autotuned
@@zauberer9687 are you sure that a non-autotuned performance is a benefit? :$
@@linuxuser2142 Sadly, LaBrie can't sing anymore, so it was okay that he was lower in the mix.
@@linuxuser2142 for me, yes
Because i can't stand that artificial Sound LaBrie has on Breaking the fourth wall & Distant Memories
Stunned..Pure magic. How did I not know they existed!?
As always the majestic end of this song brings me to tears
