HE FOCKING LEFT THE BAND
When Mike left Dream Theater, I followed him. This proves who was the heart of that band. Nothing against DT, they're great musicians, but Mike is who got me into prog music. I wish I could have been there to see it. Cheers Mike.
Sounds killer for a freaking living room jam haha keep it up dudes
Life is perfect for these guys!!! Jamming while cruising on a ship!!! So much win!!!
I see Mike is hitting James Hetfield with his drumsticks

Eric Gillette, you beast!
Wow, so many great musicians in one room. I like how all these cool bands are friends with each other.
And now it's 2024! And you're back 😁🥲❤
An unbelievable gathering of gifted musicians!! Haken Eric Gillette AND from Haken Chonner Chon Green on bad ass bass and the man MP🤘
I'm a little amused that all the guitarists appear to be using EBMM Petrucci signature guitars.

Well let's face it. They're all there because they're DT/MP fans. Makes sense for the guitarists, who likely grew up listening to DT/JP, to have JP signature guitars. :)

Petrucci has born a generation of incredible guitarists. He was probably one of the most influential of the 90s along with Dimebag.
Fuck it took me almost 3 minutes to see Ted Leonard and Daniel Gildenlow there!
I saw these guys play in Mexico City last weekend and I miss them so badly already. Just simply thank you for existing and sharing the awesomeness you've got.
Eric Gillette! 🙌🏻
Wow!... I cannot believe to listen to the Shattered Fortress after 8 longer years... Thanks Mike! :D
Mr Eric Gillette ....thank you.....
Long Beach NY here :) Damn guys this is sick! Love Love! Wish I could see/here this. Some of my favorite material! Rock on!
"Shots of Jaeger for everyone!" Oh Mike. 😂
Great video, MP! Hope to see the full show soon! Cheers from Brazil!
I could watch this all day!! Love it!! :)
Yess loved it when they got to the guitar solo!
Thanks for sharing
Seeing this live was AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️
Love the setting, in a lets call it live from the "12 step suite" on the cruise in the middle of the ocean! \m/
Haken + Mike Portnoy = fantastic
3:55 He looks like Petrucci in 2005. Coincidence? We'll never know. PD: I wanna see everything about this cruise.
This must be filmed and released. I gotta have this in hands, eyes and ears. It's gonna be great.

Sadly, Mike has mentioned that it can't happen, because of copyrights and possible legal issues.

sourcescience I'd be willing to bet that the only one that would be an asshole about it would be Labrie. After all, the suite is MP's project, and I'm pretty sure JP, JM and JR wouldn't care.

+sourcescience - It's not up to DT, smartypants. It's up to the record label to dictate when and where to enforce copyright.
So cool. great job!
That's gonna be awesome! I agree that event should be filmed.

Now THIS is a real unplugged session!!
so cool seeing so many of my idols playing together
I WANNA SEE THIS!
Fucking awesome, this suite means so much to me as I grew up listening to it, and now seeing MP playing it,ah, gives me the chills
I wish i could've been there for one of the shows! Real Bummer there will most likely never be a Bluray or DVD of this Awesome Show
awsome, mike! greetings from brazil!
I hope this project come to Brazil! Would be so awesome!!
Recognized Gildenlow and Haken! What a roomful of talent!
AWESOME!
So many great musicians in one room. The gathering of prog.
Hello from Malaysia!! That was A W E S O M E...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow nailed that solo awesome
Very Nice!!!
Dang, i didnt even know haken was apart of his group , what a pleasant suprise👌👍
I don't know if it was intentional in the originals to not break the songs but my mind was completely blown when Glass Prison ended and the band went straight in to This Dying Soul with zero break. I never even realized the two songs were in the same key until that moment. BIG face palm! Ah, well. I still hear stuff in Tales From Topographic Oceans I haven't noticed and I've heard that like sixty times.
Awesome!
So much talent
I can't fucking wait for this!!!
wow, even there's no drums,,, you're the best
good drumming mike portnoy
it's the first i see him play dt stuff since he left, reminds of the good old days
Very, very entertaining! anywhere Mike goes I'm there.
awesome...
you gotta record and release this concert. figure out a way
Very nice *-*
Thanks Mike :) :)
Haken guys! I think the guitar solo guy is the one from Neal Morse's band..
YES! Hey Mike, will we see the Shattered Fortress @PROGTOBERFEST III?
Mike, this lineup deserves a progressive metal project, such as those fabulous done on late 90's. ;-)
The most intimate performace ever!
Is Mike premiering the new Tama kit in this video? ;)

wait for it... haken and portnoy playing 12 ste suite live!!!
love you portnoyyyyy!!!
You guys should record a acoustic version of this song using the chorus before the break down "i am ready". Like a 3 min outro. Make it really dark and slow, would sound really impactful. Cant believe it wasnt done before!
This is relevant to my interests
FUCKING ERIC GILETTE IS DA MAN
So basically this is Mike Portnoy with HAKEN!! fk yaaaaaaaaaaaa
MIKE É O MELHOR

todos muito animados em ensaiar ! ehuaehae!
have you ever used those wireless air drum sticks?? try and tell how it goes..!
What are they using the simulate amplifiers?
what the stick name? it is pro mark? what's Model of the stick??????? who tell me
Como me gustaría verte tocar denuevo con petrucci, pero se agradece escuchar denuevo esta obra maestra, gracias genio!!
what kind of bubinga is that table made of? you actually made it sound good
Deveriam lançar um dvd acústico
Eric Gillette is the new guitar god
Glass Prison intro on the exit of Shattered Fortress always made me wonder if these song's were written on the same concept. .. Both have lyrics that also pertain breaking through barriers/strongholds and triumphant endings...

The Twelve Step Suite is Mike Portnoy's greatest triumph, without a doubt. If it were to be released as a concept album, it would rival to the magic of Sola Scriptura, Blomljud, Remedy Lane, Doomsday Afternoon, Dear Hunter's whole freaking discography... It is a marvel of interwoven themes, inventive musicianship, powerful lyrics spanning the full range of emotions associated with overcoming addiction, and the perfect musical environment for experiencing those emotions. Would recommend to anyone, ever.
i hope we get to see him play this with DT some day. still makes me sad the way the split came about
🤘🏻
Who's the singer? He kinda looks like the guy who used to post covers of DT in Facebook.
incrible!
I hope Mike didn't dent up that table top - lol! Seriously I'm really hoping for a DVD!!! Please!!!
With a great composer like Petrucci alongside you, you were able to enhance your talent
I think he was remembering of the good old days with DT.
MP smallest kit ever..
Am I dreaming?
now thats a lot of ghost notes
is that the bassist from Haken? That's fucking cool!
ur on a boat ?! glad to see ur doing good haha
Is that Daniel Gildenlow in the circle?

It's kind of adorable how you can tell all the Haken guys know this shit like the backs of their hands. It's cool to see the guys who grew up listening to Dream Theater next to someone like Daniel Gildenlow, who is an OG like Mike and has honestly probably never heard this song before they sat down to rehearse it.

I bet Daniel never heard of DT's materials. He's really having hard times to memorize those lyrics XD
4:32..... best part.
3 guitarists , 3 petrucci guitars :D
!!!!! Cool as fuck!!!!
my dream is to see MP save and play in Dream Theater again!!
This is like when you're kids the cool kids won't let you play with them so you find a bunch of other kids to play with lol. Metaphorical allegories aside, I would pay GOOD money to see this happen live lol.
