Dream Theater covers "The Dark Side Of The Moon"

[quote=Wikipedia]On October 11th, 2005, Dream Theater covered Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, their third classic album cover. Dream Theater's official webpage states: "The 2nd sets of the 2nd nights in Amsterdam, London, Buenos Aires and Tokyo (October 11th, October 25th, December 4th and January 13th) will be a classic album covered in its entirety." As of right now, it is unknown whether Dream Theater will play the same classic album at the London, Buenos Aires and Tokyo concerts.

I just discovered that, and very spontaneously. Because Hyper said Dream Theater covered "Comfortably Numb", and I checked Wikipedia. Hurray.

Downloading ASAP. Hopefully. I can't wait to hear James LaBrie absolutely murder "The Great Gig In The Sky". :D

if only they had Theresa Thomason again.

Boo.

Why do they have to rape such a rad album? ;o;

Meh. I'm not into Pink Floyd much, too boring for my tastes.

I wish people would leave Pink Floyd alone. First Korn and Kittie rape them over with their covers. Maybe. Just Maybe. Dream Theater can do it right this time and they won't change anything or add retarded things like screaming and point less crap like that.

Dream Theater? Screaming? Never.

Ahem.

Vampire Slayer: You haven't heard much DT, have you?

Stop. Talking. About. Dream. Theater.

NOW.

[quote=Richaod]...because MetalVox said so!11!one nobody has any interest in dream theatre or pink floyd!
He didn't say that no one has an interest in Dream Theater or Pink Floyd, he just told you to stop talking about Dream Theater so much. You do it excessively, Richaod and even when people raise this fact to your attention, you still fail to lower the amount of times references to the band, or its music, are made. He isn't saying that no one doesn't want to hear, he's saying that you say the same thing way too often. I'm certain that the entire music board, and three quarters of the rest of the board heard you the first few times.

post anything about Dream Theater here. If you have DT news, post it here. If you think the sound your stool made hitting the water sounded like Neil Peart making a wicked drum solo, then post it here. If you masturbate incessantly to the thoughts of James Labrie so much as giving you the time of day, this is your thread. Fill this thread with Dream Theater creamy goodness. Note, this also applies to the band Dream Theatre, for ye olde Britishe types. Richoad, have at it.

'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Bj Blaskowitz again.'

Neal Peart is in Rush. :( Either way, neat idea. Stickied. And, note that anyone who comes in to say "YOU'RE ALL SHEEP" or some other uninformed, presumptuous crap (as this thread practically asks for) will get their posts deleted. Music board's rid of multiple Dream Theater threads, DT fans are rid of morons. Rad?

12 pages of results. lmao :)

Well, you'd better merge the various threads (um... there's only one of them... so there isn't really much point in this thread, is there?) then.

The first person to call for the movement of a DT-mentioning post in threads like Currently Playing is seriously going to be hurt though.

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=richaod+dream+theater

its even worse when its spelled right!

I disagree with the stickiness of this thread, though.

You're just jealous of its ability to be made all sticky by me. :(

I have thought long and hard about this one, and I've come to the conclusion that you're dumb.

:)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Klarth again.

Well okay.

[QUOTE=Richaod]You're clearly exaggerating. http://www.vgchat.com/search.php?searchid=115426 - let's work down the list. Dream Theater covers... well, obviously, that's warranted. Currently playing, obvious. Bands by alphabet... includes a mention. Something like orgy? Nope. O3? I didn't mention Dream Theater; there isn't a mention of them in the entire thread, even though it's about Charlie Dominici. Number of the Beast, no. What got you involved? No. Recommendations; there's really no need for it. There's also nothing about them on the second page and many others. I post about Dream Theater when prompted; I'll make comparisons when there are warranted links. Cocksucking? Have you heard me criticizing Octavarium and Jordan Rudess' keyboard solos? My great dislike of James LaBrie's live singing? I'm not a fanboy (not even of Images And Words), I'm a fan of them. Shut up.


[QUOTE=Richaod]Hah, since when do I only listen to Dream Theater and the members' side projects? Ever looked at my Last.fm account? What did I start (unfortunately inactive) threads about Arcturus and In Flames for? Most of the music I listen to is very variable in scope and genre, and I'm quite possibly listening to more artists than you. You must have made at least 10 Evergrey posts in the last few pages of "Currently Playing". Shut up.


[QUOTE=Richaod]Why do you always pop up for these types of threads? Seriously though, saying the same thing too often? I just found out that they covered a Pink Floyd album; it's not like I've posted about this before. The only multiple mention of anything I can recall is that Hendrix vs. Petrucci thread, and I stated that Stream of Consciousness > anything Hendrix can play multiple times because Creature wasn't getting the point. People want to know, more so than people want to hear about them less. The majority's desire gets put first. Shut up.

[QUOTE=Richaod]You don't stop arguing or reduce the amount of times it happens either, and clearly that's been discussed at length, far more than any Dream Theater spammage or non-existent bandwagons.Shut up.


[QUOTE=Richaod]Most of those posts were made by other people where I'd posted in the same thread. Although the incorrect spelling is surprisingly high... but then again, it's in signatures and you've probably all posted in the same Dream Theater-related threads too.Shut up.

[QUOTE=Richaod]Hey, let's get a few things straight here. More people like Dream Theater than are annoyed by supposedly constant mentions of it (with overlap). I made this thread as a one-off thread that I thought people would be interested in, and they are. Believe it or not, I've never made another thread specifically about the band; Gigantour, DT vs. Symphony X, Octavarium, Dream Theater covering Master Of Puppets and the short-lived Dream Theater blog were all made by others. If you value a petty, ignorable annoyance over people listening to good music, go kill Raptor and netman and blame them for any bandwagons that may or may not have arisen.Shut up.

[QUOTE=Richaod]Response to Sabredog: HALLELUJAH JAMES LABRIE DOESN'T MURDER US ALL. :DShut up.

I have no idea what I was thinking about when I typed Pearth P(

I can't help but feel weird hearing all this hype now, when I remember my friend Sam introducing me to DT like 6 years ago. Go figure. Crap, this should be in the other thread

Nope, you're basically the epitome of a fanboy.

[quote=Richaod]Sabredog and Klarth probably have their whole discography between them.
I own all their studio and live albums, yes. Also, I at one point bought the 1999 Fanclub CD as an investment and wound up making £60 profit from it. Despite this, I am a fan who is a boy, as opposed to a fanboy. I don't post about them in threads completely irrelevant to the subject of DT, unlike you sir.

[quote]I could say what you said about Evergrey for Dream Theater too.
Yeah, fact is, he's the only die-hard Evergrey fan on VGC, so it isn't as irritating.

you guys, there is a new thread made for this!

Merged!

'speshly 4 u, beej

[quote=NegativeTrend]Nope, you're basically the epitome of a fanboy.
Again, I'll state that I know more about myself than you do, thanks.

Well, they started off with The Root Of All Evil which was an incredible starter. I loved the animations of the landscape from the octavarium cover art that they played at the start. I'd actually felt slightly out of place at first; when everyone was yelling for the band to come on I was feeling slightly half-hearted and intimidated, but from the first note, I leapt out of my seat, and I was yelling every single word, clapping frantically... it was great. Then they went into Panic Attack, which was much of the same awesome, awesome, awesome stuff. D: I liked how James LaBrie high fived members of the audience. Then they did something totally unexpected (for me) and turned off all the lights, except the video screens. There were noises like rewinding, and it went backwards through all the albums and the years until it got to "1985" and the cover art to the Majesty demos. Then James LaBrie started talking for a bit, playing the crowd ("Hello England! Are we having a good time?") (sidenote: someone pushed a piece of card reading "Can I have a drumstick Mike" onto the stage while he was talking, and he picked it up, studied it, and said to Mike Portnoy "give this guy a fu[b][/b]ing drumstick or something" :[i]D) before going into Another Won. This was shortly followed up by A Fortune In Lies, and then Under A Glass Moon, which had some wonderful images on the main screen of the moon and the sun and it was all very well done. They threw in a couple of odd instrumental bits here and there, too. Then they played Caught In A Web (with some especially neat drumming towards the end!), and then all the lights went out except on Jordan and Mike, who played something, which later prevailed to be part of a Pink Floyd song. I was wtfing for a little while, until eventually it segued into Peruvian Skies, at which point the entire crowd cheered. They played some Metallica at the end of it (specifically Wherever I May Roam, in much the same style as they played the Enter Sandman riff at the end of the Once in a LIVEtime version), before going and playing Fatal Tragedy flawlessly, followed by ATCR and Losing Time, both of which were simply orgasmic. I kinda guessed they were going to play Losing Time, from the gong on the back of Mike's drumkit. Naturally, he stood up from the kit and took a huge swing back before bashing the gong, and as it resounded the lights came back on and the video screens informed us of an intermission.

When we returned, they played As I Am (complete with "Eat my a[b][/b]ss and balls!" on the final chorus) shortly followed by Endless Sacrifice - during which instead of the cartoony bit Jordan played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

After Endless Sacrifice, James started talking to the audience again, and said something to the effect of "you've been a great audience tonight. As well as a 20th anniversary tour, this is in support of our latest album, Octavarium, (at this point, Mike gestured from his drumkit to the wall behind him, where the middle video screen was replaced by a huge image of all eight octavarium balls) and we still have plenty more for you tonight. This song's called Never Enough!"
Never Enough: Strong performance, very well done, and featured the only slip-up I detected of the night. :X Up to the spectacular standard of everything else, but there weren't noteworthy little extras.
Sacrificed Sons: I was impressed at Jordan's playing the continuum and the keyboard at the same time. Very nifty stuff here, and I think the extra bits he did with the continuum was great. The video screens had some very radical displays, too, though I'd have liked something a little more like the displays from ITNOG.
Octavarium: Started out with Jordan on both keyboard and continuum, and when JR eventually had to play the continuum with two hands, James LaBrie started to play a mini-keyboard. Medicate went down especially well, and I liked the images that went across the video screens for Full Circle. In Intervals, the images for every pair of lines were taken from the videos for the respective songs. E.g., frantic pacing for Panic Attack's bit, twin towers for Sacrificed Sons' "innocent victims of merciless crimes...", and from "step after step..." until the last "trapped inside this octavarium" it was a quickly flickering array of images based on the lyric book art, including an eight sided majesty logo sign emerging from a sea, and the dominos against the landscape from which the balls hung, among others. And, on that note, I believe that the four "TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM"s were the loudest I've yelled in my life. Razor's Edge onwards had the images from The Root's intro.
Pull Me Under: The lights went out, Dream Theater left the stage, and I almost thought they weren't doing an encore, and then suddenly the burning hearts appeared on all three video screens (the third one reappeared for Pull Me Under and Metropolis) and all was right in the world once more. Very good, I enjoyed it a lot. However, instead of the solo, they played...
Metropolis: ...everything from 4:16 in the studio version of Metropolis onwards, for an awesome finish. Images of London passing by on the main screens, naturally interspersed with images of the Dream Theater members playing.

I was very impressed by how well James worked the audience, and I liked seeing John Myung and John Petrucci sharing the centre stage a lot - Myung hadn't been very active for a long time up until now (I'd barely seen the guy move around at all on any DVD that was recorded after Images and Words) so it was great to see him really into it. At first, I felt slightly out of place, but from the first note of Root I was pulled straight in - I clapped, headbanged, threw my fist into the air and etc. with so much enthusiasm and frequency that my neck is stiff, I have all the arm movement of a geriatric with a fractured humerus (I couldn't actually brush my hair back from over my face on the bus trip back from London), and my hands hurt like hell just beneath my thumbs, but dear go[b][/b]d, I don't regret a second of it, and I'd do it again in a flash. It's a testament to how well the concert went and how much everyone enjoyed it that it was originally to be an all seated concert, but I couldn't see a single person who wasn't standing all the way through. It was incredible.

Note also that when I got back in, I played Panic Attack on Winamp, a song that I'd always thought was pretty neat but kinda overrated, and now that I'd heard it live I couldn't help but pound the air when listening to it - and this is in spite of all the physical weaknesses I've now picked up.

Ten out of fugging ten.

Other:
Didn't get to see the band, because it would mean standing in the rain for an hour and a half, and even if I did that, then it was unlikely they'd have stayed.

Wow, sounds awesome. Just what was the Pink Floyd song though?

It sounds pretty cool how they went through their albums in order and stuff. They had better be coming to Australia in January to an all-ages venue; I've heard rumours. Mike was unable to bring his Albino Monster kit to South America, which seems to have complicated some of the touring over there.

Your show was so much better than mine :( I hope they come and do some Evening With's here in the states. Preferably with at least one in Arizona.

[quote=Sabredog][edit: oh, oh, oh, and James LaBrie didn't do the Dave Mustaine stuff once in the concert - not even during Never Enough. I liked hearing him singing it differently. His voice was more raw live, as opposed to full in the studio - not a bad change, but a difference. It's definitely obvious he's recovered from the ruptured vocal chord that meant he hadn't been on top form once between Awake and Octavarium.

Dave Mustaine stuff? I assume you just mean "bad vocals", which is pretty much the same thing. :) The more similar to Live At The Marquee, the better.

That page wins.

...What the HELL is wrong with me. When I said Dave Mustaine, I meant Matt Bellamy.

See, this is why I don't make fun of Richaod for getting his genres wrong.

That said, getting a bootleg of the show I went to. I only have the first set right yet, the second should be up by the end of tomorrow.

@Richaod: I can send you the version of Peruvian Skies they played, as a result, if you'd like.

I agree with Richaod. Operation: Mindcrime will most likely be covered. Portnoy talks about how it was such a huge influence on the When Dream And Day Reunite DVD commentary.

I'm pretty sure they're bound to do a Queensryche one, most likely O:M. Wouldn't surprise me if the other one was either a Yes, a Rush album or a Megadeth one.

got the rest of the bootleg! Sexy stuff.

"real metal doesn't come from the western hemisphere."
"dream theater is sucks"
"Oh and I've never heard of Dream Theatre either, and no wonder, their highest selling album
Their highest selling album has come in at only #36 on the charts. How pathetic."
"If you're a Dream Theater fan odds are you'd be better off doing searches for "weight loss

...

I think I commented about manufactured angst or something

Hot Topic scares me.

Yo, alright I have some questions, mainly because I don't feel like checking up myself.


Is dream theater like gonna tour 2006 or something and go to New York? I think I heard that somewhere

Well this is pertaining to Dream Theater, the tab for The Dance of Eternity is about to make me sick... There isnt a line that the same throught the entire song... Ive been working for like an hour I have a few parts down.

The Dance Of Eternity is one of the few boring DT songs. :X It shows off the band's chops alright, but it just drags on. I think I'd probably cut off everything after 4:21.

Well yeah, considering it celebrates twenty freaking years of the band being together (which is a lot by most bands' standards), and they're playing an ultra-long set, and they say they've got something special planned, and they want to capture the moment, and it's the grand finale of the US tour before they go on hiatus for a little.



Anyway, disagreements aside, John Petrucci's new look!:





I think he'd look cool if he lost the mascara or eyeliner or whatever it is.

I like him better with the shorter hair.

And humbucking pickups.. mmmm... My guitar looks somewhat similar and has 2 humpucking pickups.. :) (in case you didn't already figure out I'm a guitar player by my username)

Octa = 8

8th track on Octavarium = Octavarium (Sure, I'm certain most people got that one.)

Octavarium track length = 24:00

Eventually, you hear "TRAPPED INSIDE THIS OCTAVARIUM"

24 / 8 = 3

Track 3 = These Walls

Walls, trapped, coincidence, relation? Yes? No?

Dt.spatang.com also has a lot of unintentional stuff which isn't a nugget at all.

How long has Stalolin been a DT fan?

A while. I seem to remember him listing them as a favourite band sometime in 2004, but I don't think he's fanatical as he didn't realise that trapped.ytmnd was from Octavarium when I showed it to him last year.

[quote=Wikipedia]On January 13, 2006, progressive metal outfit Dream Theater played the album in its entirety at Kokusai Forum in Tokyo. A repeat is planned for the 15th at NHK Hall in Osaka. Both performances were recorded, and one of the two shows will be released through the band's "Ytse Jam Records" label.

Just how slowly does news of this leak out? Anyway, I didn't really expect that at all; I thought the next two would be 2112 or Operation: Mindcrime. Something like that.

Odd decision, to cover a live album...

Yes, interesting indeed, especially considering the fact that you didn't mention what they covered in your post.

[quote=Mike Portnoy]Hi all,
Just a quick update:

I've been in the studio last week and this week with Michael Brauer doing the audio mixes of the RCMH show and it sounds AMAZING!!!!
The mixes are in the can (both stereo and 5.1) and are ready for mastering!

Simultaneously, I've been hard at work on the DVD.
The footage shot is absolutely BEAUTIFUL (11 Hi-Def cameras!) and I also have plans for some great bonus material as well which is in the works.

I will be flying to LA in a few weeks to put the finishing touches on the video editing and wrapping the whole project by the first or second week of May.

We are tentatively looking at an end of summer release (Aug/Sept) for the 2 DVD/3 CD sets....

And yes...I have a name for it...but I have to leave some things unmentioned for now!

OK...back to work....
(and yes, I will be taking time off with my family after this is done.....
....at least until the Amazing Journey gigs!)

MPrar.

**Just listened to "I Walk Beside You" from Octavarium**

Now Dream Theater decides to pull the U2 card... they're really covering all the bases, these guys.

Bump.

It seems to be one of the only Nightmare Cinema vids on the net. They actually seem to know what they're doing - not sure about Portnoy with his crazy running around though. If you don't know of NC:

[quote=Wikipedia]Perhaps the most extreme example of Dream Theater's unpredictable concert structure is that during Derek Sherinian's time with the band, at selected shows the band members all swapped instruments and performed an encore as the fictional "Nightmare Cinema" (the approximate opposite of "Dream Theater"). They usually performed a cover of Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers", and, on one occasion, Ozzy Osbourne's "Suicide Solution".

Haha, I always wanted to see a full vid of that. Sherinian really seemed to know what he was doing for the most part.

yeah, I read that somewhere a long time ago.
