His kits are absolute rock perfection. Every cymbal, kick, tom and snare. Just amazing. I hate manginis 80’s sounding brilliant zildjians. Horrible for DT. No crack or punch in the drums at all.
Actually, he had this mirror put in to keep an eye on the conductor of the orchestra behind him. After this show however, he kept it to help him monitor the video feeds/cues during the show, as when he was in the band this was something he took care of.
Not Portnoy is what stones me in this video, but the professionality of his team.. the audio, the lighting, the techs, and the attention and care they watch out for each other.
The flawlessness playing is just mesmerizing. He has no equal in that regard , in my humble estimation. Kudos always to you Mr. Pornoy. To me you are the Best👍👍👍👍👍
Some people really like to point out the mistakes made by the players. I actually like seeing mistakes here and there; they remind me that the music could all fall apart at any moment and that it takes talent and persistence to keep it together. I want to be reminded that DT, in all their glory, were not robots or windup dolls. They are fallible and that makes it even more exciting when they DO keep it together.
That "edge" Dream Theater had is no more. As a band they most definitely had a swagger about them. You cant compare what we would be saying if Mangini began with Dream Theater, but from this point the band was a special unit for. Portnoy was such fanatic of drumming. Fun to watch
Rip dream theater :( this was truly a masterpiece and their best song.. Portnoy is greatly missed. This song and others can not be replicated by any other drummer
@@albertorochareyes2427 you can do that with any other drummer as well with exception of Thomas Lang. Replicating is easy, bring the creator = that’s a different beast. You’re clearly a notice at best if you’re even a drummer lol
Portnoy must use a wheelbarrow to get around, to carry his huge balls. What a stud. Nobody is playing like this right now except him. And we all used to say the same thing about, Rich, Bonham, Aldridge, and Peart...who is after Portnoy?...they are probably coloring with their Crayolas right now...
aakkoin The mirror was there so he could keep an eye on the video show behind the band, certain cues, and whatnot. I believe he was in charge of all that when he was in the band.
Que diferença gigantesca em assistir a performance de Portnoy a música ganha alma, Mangine é um excelente músico mas no quesito sensibilidade musical não tem como, isso vem de dentro poucos bateristas possuem isso... só se ver isso em bateristas como Portnoy, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Ian Paice e no meu Brasil coloco nesta lista de gigantes o nosso Aquiles Priester um músico extraordinário...
makes me miss my tama drum kit... i gave it away before i left for florida to become a marine biologist and learn about nature & stuff ... sure enough, i am so envious of Mike right now... i wish could play drums again ....oh well not for me .... i will just vicariously enjoy Mike jamming for now
True, but "Take Away My Pain" is about Petrucci's dad's death, which is a personal song he would of loved to be on the album. But I get where your coming from. I would of loved to see "Raise The Knife" on FII. Portnoy's lyrics are always great.
Mike Mangini cant even touch this song.. DT when down the drain hard after on the backs of angels.. Portnoy is dearly missed and was the brains behind DT.
Come si vede in questo video portnoy non ha rivali e unico ha un saund unico e veramente unico .non prendetevela specie Maich mancini purtroppo non potrai mai avvicinarti a portnoy mai portnoy e unico il suo tocco la sua velocità e il suo sound e unico

In retrospect, a Falling Into Infinity with "Raise The Knife", "Speak To Me" & the original demo version of "You *Or* Me" and without (fill in your own pick, but I could do without "Just Let Me Breathe" & "Take Away My Pain") would have been MUCH more widely received by the fanbase at the time.
DT will always be my favorite progressive metal group. However, creative differences and knocking heads are as old as time itself. Mike did what he felt he needed to do, and would most likely do it again. Knowing Mike, John, and Jordan professionally, I would give educated speculation that after things quietly 'blew up' between them, there was no going back. Mike would have been at home with a change into AX7, but it was not to be, much to his surprise. Mike's working with Derek again right now.
I see a lot of people intentionally or unintentionally dunking on Mangini. Yes he may not be the same as Portnoy. But he is still an amazing drummer that fits in with dream thater quite well.
J Lama it’s a reference to the show Lost. Mike was a huge fan of it. The Octavarium octagon symbol is similar to the Dharma Initiative symbol used in Lost. The numbers are used in the show 4 8 15 16 23 42

God I miss this drum sound! Even though I love Mangini a part of me will always miss Portnoy!
Erik B Larsson nothing like the original member's.

Hater.
Its not just the drumsound dude. MP wrote most of the songs and the music
Give me MP's drum sound ANYTIME, sadly its what's missing from DT.
Actually, he had this mirror put in to keep an eye on the conductor of the orchestra behind him. After this show however, he kept it to help him monitor the video feeds/cues during the show, as when he was in the band this was something he took care of.
Welcome back Mike!!!
I can't believe they never released this song. It's one of my favorites :(

The song has lot of good fills, but there is nothing difficult or rare in 1:55.

You should watch the video of Simon Phillips: mistakes. Very funny.
Such an incredibly talented, musical drummer. One of a kind, MP is.
Mike only had to correct his eyeglasses 27 times during the song.
And now you have 27 likes!
@@kevinmeli 😂 lol
And he did that in 7/8 :P
Can you do that?
29
I genuinely love the snare sound from 10:55 til the end. So much punch and such a deep and full sound. That's what I call a properly tuned snare.
I know this is a drum cam but James sounded pretty great here.
One of DT's the coolest drum songs
This guy would sound really good in Dream Theater
lol
Love this haha 😄 well things change for the best
This Guy is Dream Theater
@@Cashiez they sure do (:
Well, you got your wish :)
This is the exact crispy sound of how a snare should be tuned. And overall great performance.
Yes! That is one of my pet peeves. The snare should not sound like a cardboard box! You nailed it.
no one can replace you.. master
Stop crying he's back bro.

U can literally watch other drummers replicate DT songs on utube 😂
@@albertorochareyes2427 you can do that with any other drummer as well with exception of Thomas Lang. Replicating is easy, bring the creator = that’s a different beast. You’re clearly a notice at best if you’re even a drummer lol
Now he’s back. All these years later I knew it was inevitable 😊
God damn you're all over dramatic af. He's back and DT never died because one guy left, that's hilarious.
This song has so much balls to it. I wish it made it on the album -,-
one of my favourite DT songs. Always loved Mike's drumming.
Without Mr. Portnoy DT has no soul!!!
DT died with having portnoy let go!
They will never have the same energy and power again!
energy , power, and soul
Portnoy must use a wheelbarrow to get around, to carry his huge balls. What a stud. Nobody is playing like this right now except him. And we all used to say the same thing about, Rich, Bonham, Aldridge, and Peart...who is after Portnoy?...they are probably coloring with their Crayolas right now...
Splash cymbal orchestration of this song is very creative 👍. miss you so much MP
My favourite song. No idea how it didn't even make it to album.
hiurro they had issues with the new management at their record label at the time. The whole album was rewritten and the band almost broke up
This Album is DT at their peak
You mean this concert...and yes...definitely 👍
@@Ricki_Snow or maybe the album this music were planned to be part of but was taken off from
I've seen this live song 100 times but this view is truly cool!
aakkoin The mirror was there so he could keep an eye on the video show behind the band, certain cues, and whatnot. I believe he was in charge of all that when he was in the band.
I think the mirror was for keeping an eye on the conductor, as this was from the Score concert...
Oh man I forgot how much i miss him in Dream Theater. He was (is) SO GOOD!
Best port boy performance ever was this tour
Mike portnoy is the only one who could sing through his drums!
DT will never be DT without MP
2:50 fuckin nice linear fill
I miss this man in Dream Theater, I need him.
Here he is... Finally 😉

Ein Traum wird war, endlich mal ein Song, bei dem man nur den Drummer sieht! ;-)
Mike is still #1. He always will!!
I miss this guy. Such a great drummer. 😔
podo cuk...eman kalau portnoy leave the band 😔
He`s out of this world. !!!

Alus pisan lagu ieu, geura balik deui Mike
Mike Mangini cant even touch this song.. DT when down the drain hard after on the backs of angels.. Portnoy is dearly missed and was the brains behind DT.
go listen to A7V instead
andra widjaja honestly AX7s Nightmare album is miles better than anything DT has done in the last decade...
You don't even know what you are talking about , m8.
Really missing this guys .....
I love it so much
Excelent Mike Portnoy., the best of world , and the best of all times
this fuckin guy got 5 arms.....Un believable. ....
And he makes its looks so fucking easy.
for me, it's the best final Dream Theater's 20 years anniversary concert.
Mr. Portnoy is the best of all coz ..... classic so cool....
More perfect that one human can do
Simply the best... 👍👍
true spirit of DT!
shivers down my spine
I love this song... But from 10:02 is the best part.... Chills through my body every time that i hear it...
this one is my favourite song want pratice this song on drums..
The best 🤙🏽
great catch!!!!
comment il me manque le Mike
Turns out to be my fav DT song If there is such a thing!
P.s. seen Mike play live, not this song though lol
Happy birthday!!!
Come si vede in questo video portnoy non ha rivali e unico ha un saund unico e veramente unico .non prendetevela specie Maich mancini purtroppo non potrai mai avvicinarti a portnoy mai portnoy e unico il suo tocco la sua velocità e il suo sound e unico
Me, too, my friend. Me, too. Awesome song. Awesome.
They were great together !
GREAT!!!!!
I wonder why this song never made the album? I love this song!
God i miss him!
O melhor
Have I thanked you for your time?
Or will your life go unrewarded
Again?
Never asking for a dime
You just gave all of yourself
Until I turned my back on you
My friend
The powers that be made you a martyr
Conspiracy led you to slaughter
I tried to control it but as soon as I showed it
I was shot down again
Once again outnumbered
Appreciation slumbered
You can ask yourself why
But that look in your eye
Doesn't pass the test
You've been laid to rest my friend
Again
Tortured artist bears his soul
Seems the pressure took its toll
Lived a life so punishing
Now he keeps the publishing
Spilling your guts out to a pad and pen
Communication to your silent friend
Raising the knife
To a picture of a life
(I once knew)
There comes a time
Compromising my life
(Just won't do)
I cannot lie
I can't try anymore
(To reach you)
I just can't fight
Raise the knife
Raise the knife
Cut through
I remember once you were the quiet type
Content to sit and watch the motions of your life
With false sensitivity
You cut yourself open so people would adore you
They all bought into your contrived sincerity
And how you wore your heart and soul right on your sleeve
Laughing sarcastically
You turned your back on the people who adored you
Self-absorbed exhaustion
Self-esteem distortion
Self-infused extortion
Self-serving abortion
I'll take the blame for these things that I say
'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay
Every day
I won't walk away
Reading through all the digests you show me
I notice the way that you think you control me
Doubting my future, you don't even know me
But I never walked out on you
In retrospect, a Falling Into Infinity with "Raise The Knife", "Speak To Me" & the original demo version of "You *Or* Me" and without (fill in your own pick, but I could do without "Just Let Me Breathe" & "Take Away My Pain") would have been MUCH more widely received by the fanbase at the time.

hahaha nice burp at 2:01!
very good player.

ufff excelent song omg portnoy is the best drummer

Como extraño a ESTE Portnoy......
Musica para culturizar, y avanzar al respecto.
2:04 Drinking water while hitting masterfully the Hi-Hat... Mr Pornoy has no equal period...
Nor is he missing a T in his name!
AND he's adjusting his glasses every now and then.
I wanna be the guy who is down of portnoy.. what a job...

Se fue Portnoy y dream theater perdió su corazón en la banda.

I think the frames just freeze for a short time, it looked like it ^^
under a glass moon guitars were recorded again after the show

Mangini is a great drummer but he's too mechanical, Portnoy plays with feel and yes I'm a drummer going on 43 years
no not at all period.
This is it
portnoy on the level of ultra instinc
Do Octobans have to tunes fixed tone/key ?
I cant wait to heat the 2nd with Manginin... I love Portnoy but damn ..5 years?
Anyone know what effect cymbal is that hes hitting at 00:20-00:37? Sabian what?
qu'est ce que je peux aimer ce batteur
Anyone know why he has numbers on his toms ?
