John starts mentioning how black sabbath was a huge influence starting out. Then Mike mentions zeppelin, Beatles and the who as huge starting influences. Then comes Jordan with twinkle twinkle little star. Dream Theater rules.

you forgot to mention how he improvise that twinkle-twinkle little 'theater' 🤣

Jordan going "I haven't played this in maybe 50 years..." and then straight up shredding Light My Fire is still stunning even after seeing the original video.

When you start diving into the brilliance of Jordan Rudess is when you reallize what a mad wizard at the keyboard he really is.

Prepping a piece for Julliard at 9. Nice.

AND THEN he plays the most simple childlike plinking FOLLOWED BY A JAZZ/CLASSICAL IMPROV...nobody but HIM could play!!!! I TOTALLY hate that guy, but in the most respectful admiring way possible!!!!

how common 😂

I remember seeing Petrucci and Myung's band Centurion play at my school, Park View Elementary in Kings Park. It's probably 40 years ago, but i remember a Rush tune, Maiden tune, and maybe something from Boston? I want to say Tom Sawyer and The Trooper were two of the songs.

The best part of this is no Myung. I can imagine the conversation. "John will you do this favorite riffs thing for us ?" "No." 🤭

Before today I never knew how badly I need a keyboard shed in my life but here we are.

6:39 I went into Juliard, said we'd get together soon...

That whole video of him playing stuff is mesmerizing.

I've already watched these so many times but I watched again and loved it again. Plz do the Dream Theater videos often😍

John Myung does not appear in this video. However, all the musicians that are Dream theatre are extremely talented and work so well together. And the universe is so lucky they all came together. What we have right now, IMO, is one of the greatest bands (technically synced on the musical level and mutual respect), in the 21st century.

Jordan picking Twinkle Twinkle is very wholesome.

Jordan Rudess' piano playing is phenomenal!

14:12 i recognize that part from Highway Star, great song!

Pedazo musicos, Petrucci y Portnoy insuperables, no consigo encontrar nada que me llene mas. Eskerrik asko!!!

Cannot wait for the next record.

I didn't expect to hear Mike bring up De La Soul. That makes me happy~

After watching a few minutes of this you figure out that these guys can literally play ANYTHING!!!! Love it!!!!

100% agree, but I don't like the way he plays the intro to "When the Levee breaks." It isn't very Bonham-like. I don't think Bonham dragged the snare during it either.

Intro song: Ethan Meixsell - Demilitarized Zone John Myung might be secretly making sheets for that song while not in this video.

Amazing

thanks!

I love you guys. You're my heroes. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Let's go!

Can't wait for their 40th anniversary tour!

What is it that John uses to sound doubletracked all the time? The TCE Doubler?

So this is just 3 old videos mashed up here. cool.

Where did Jordan go to school at? He never mentioned…

Where is James Labrie?

I can’t think of any musician like Jordan Rudess. In any instrument.

The gods' are coming back!!!

Light my fire 🔥🔥🔥

Lol Loudwire throwing shade at Ringo by not putting his name up there.

Still waiting here for Myung

Le falta años luz para llegar al nivel de Mike Mangini

Wait, Ive seen the MP and JR videos before. This is just a compilation.

Where is John Myung 😅

DT4EVER

Where is the the John?

6:00 o’clock 😳

You forgot the bass player

Where’s John myung tho

This is crazy how much talent contains this one band. So sad that James LaBrie sounds worse and worse because he used to be as badass as the rest of the band.

They all look like wizards now. Which they are

It is, you can tell by Jordan's hair that it was filmed during the covid lockdown

Julliard Julliard Julliard he keeps bragging about that everywhere not only here... if it wasn't for DT he would be still there selling keyboards...

Somehow the favorite parts of these guys does not match with fan's favorites. Like the ending of Scarred, the beggining of 6DoIT or the middle dramatic part in Metropolis Pt 1.

Why do John Petrucci and Jared Dines sound the same?

Does John have marker on his knees?

Only of course Jordan of course heard twinkle twinkle… at 2yo .. went find the notes and then improvised on it … at 2 yo…. And he remembers that.

Is it me, or are Mike Portnoy's drumsticks particularly long ? Every time it switches to him, it distracts me from whatever he's saying or what he plays.

Yes they are slightly longer than average and he also holds them very far back which makes them appear even longer
