Welcome back Mike!!!

Without Mr. Portnoy DT has no soul!!!

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.

1:55 -- ah yes, the Poland Spring fill. Very difficult, very rare.

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.

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

This song has so much balls to it. I wish it made it on the album -,-

Such an incredibly talented, musical drummer. One of a kind, MP is.

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.

DT will never be DT without MP

One of DT's the coolest drum songs

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👍👍👍👍👍

I know this is a drum cam but James sounded pretty great here.

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.

this is damn creative...beautiful fills..and all the things he does to spice up..all..i mean aah...mikeeee

Was there for this show ... never forget how awesome it was ! Mike , thanks for all you do !

Well, you got your wish :)

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.

Best port boy performance ever was this tour

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...

2:50 fuckin nice linear fill

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

Alus pisan lagu ieu, geura balik deui Mike

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...

GREAT!!!!!

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

comment il me manque le Mike

Como extraño a ESTE Portnoy......

this one is my favourite song want pratice this song on drums..

very good player.

muita bom (y)

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.

The Best!!!! \m/.....\m/

What a lucky man ... 🤤🤤

Musica para culturizar, y avanzar al respecto.

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

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

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

Omg….. it’s so different…. It’s incomparable…. Bananas and apples….

He's stabbing the drumset!

portnoy on the level of ultra instinc

after a 2 minute jam, "now that we've proved THAT point, we should probably give Labrie something to do..."

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.

aman..

I think the frames just freeze for a short time, it looked like it ^^

I cant wait to heat the 2nd with Manginin... I love Portnoy but damn ..5 years?

Do Octobans have to tunes fixed tone/key ?

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.
