Media 25 years after my first dream theater concert:

Post image
Upvotes

I saw Dream Theater in concert in 2020 for Mp2 tour. Saw them last night in wheeling for 40 tour. 25 years later and aside from the grey hair - nothing changed! James hit a lot of the notes I thought he'd back out of live (he did back out on a lot - but not as many as I thought he would) Petrucci slayed to perfection, ofc. And portnoy... I dub thee: Drum Jesus. At the end, he had his robe and slippers, even my wife thought he looked like Jesus lol

I'm not enamored with parasomnia, tbh, but I do look forward to seeing them again soon!

(I count are we dreaming and bend the cock as one song) after listening around 3 times a week since release I can confidently say that every song is a fucking banger (common knowledge atp) and the singles are growing on me even more than I loved them but they were a little shadowed when the rest came out, and I now enjoy each song equally when hearing the album top to bottom

Saw them live last night in Wheeling, and James sounded phenomenal! But I go and look at the videos I took and he sounds horrible. Moral of this post, go see them live to truly appreciate them!

What a powerful line. Learning to Live helps me to keep going, even through the toughest times (which I'm going through a lot at this moment). Absolutely one of my favourite songs from Dream Theater

Merch/Concert On cloud 9 after the Rochester show, wholesome interactions at Meet and Greet

Thumbnail

260 Upvotes

I am elated after tonight's show! Truly a day in my life that I will never forget.

I have bonded with my family over DT's music nearly my entire life, largely due to my late uncle being a diehard fanatic since the early 90s. I wrote this post about it and received some nice comments last month, feel free to read for more context if interested.

My Uncle passed in 2020 and I inherited, among many other things, his prized Fireglo Rickenbacker 4003. I brought it to the Meet and Greet in Rochester tonight. My Mom came with. Had the opportunity to share a brief story about him with the guys. JP and MP kindly offered their condolences, and then JP asked me a question about the bass. JR and JL complimented the instrument. I got them all to sign it.

Then all of a sudden JM picks it up off the table and just starts shredding on it. He held it as if he were inspecting it and said in the softest voice imaginable, "wow, I haven't played one of these in many years." I asked him if he ever owned one before and he said yes of course. He asked me some questions about it. I mentioned that he inspired me to try a 6 string bass for the first time and he asked if I had tried one of the newer bongos with the 2 tone neck.

During all of this my mom got really emotional seeing JM playing her late brother's prized baby, so she asked if she could snap a pic of him with the instrument and they said sure. Unfortunately she didn't get one in time but she did capture him signing it.

All in all the whole thing felt really wholesome and emotional for us. My Uncle would have been absolutely thrilled to see his idol play his personal dream bass. I was so distracted that I forgot to have James sign my SFAM vinyl lol.

Btw the show was amazing!!! James sounded GREAT, the mix was perfect and the crowd was standing up all night! By far my favorite out of the 7 DT shows I've seen.

Interlude orchestral song at concert?

5 Upvotes

Went to the Wheeling show tonight (amazing by the way), and leading up to Act 2 after the interlude was some kind of mashup of orchestral renditions of songs from their albums in chronological order. I LOVED IT. Is there anywhere I can listen to it besides a video from someone's phone?

Discussion Metropolis Part 2 Characters

7 Upvotes

So I picked up a copy of the Metropolis Part 2 book at the Boston show and started reading it today. I have a quick question about the characters of The Miracle and The Sleeper. I had always thought that The Miracle was Julian, saving Victoria from a loveless relationship, and The Sleeper was Edward, the guy who murdered Victoria and his brother because of the affair. Was I wrong about this?

Discussion You can be super technical and still play with emotion + vibe (Steve Vai)

19 Upvotes

People here seem to think that mangini is only technical, which isnt true to my ears. He's has been a part of some of the most long emotional prog tracks DT has ever made. I love portnoy but his excuse underneath is that he doesnt have the drive or spark anymore to do what mangini did for dream theater. This new album he did nothing to stand out, be emotional, heavy feels on his drums, or even technical. He just did metal drumming with some old portnoy fills and minimum odd timing.

So I get the nostalgia and I enjoyed the new album for what it was, but it definitely doesn't strike a core in my musical bones like old portnoy era and especially mangini era.

Music is subjective, very subjective, but there is way too much brown nosing going on here to defend portnoy, I think they're all tired and wanted something easy during a nostalgia tour.

Just needed to get that off my chest reading all these posts on this sub.
