The best way to appreciate LaBrie's work in DT is by listening to other professional singers doing his lines.

I would say Labrie is one of the best worst singers, it is a weird contradiction, but his music is extremely hard to sing. At his prime he was one of the best singers of all time, but now while he can still sing them, the biggest problem is that he goes off key constantly and his voice has this weird nasal quality to it which is very hard to enjoy. But there is no doubt about how hard his songs are to pull off.

I totally agree. These younger singers might have a good vocal technique (even though this guy seems to make quite an effort to sing those lines) but they generally have poor expressive skills. So I get bored after a few minutes 😐 None of them gets even close to what Labrie did in the 90' both technically and performance wise.

I agree, and he’s my favorite! He’s probably the MVP too with his world class guitar, keys, drums and amazing tenor vocals. The Neal Morse Band hit the motherload with Eric (and Bill)!

Wow... it sounds just like the live album. Hearing this performance, The band sounds just like the old, original DT. But when DT now play this same songs with Mangini, it sounds totally different. My respect to Mike Mangini, awesome drummer. But watching this performance, Mike Portnoy was Dream Theater's soul.

Sometimes I have to remind myself just how lucky I was to see MP's Shattered Fortress at ProgPower 2017...an event in which Haken also headlined a night performing Visions entirely... and then to see this as well?! ...I'll never take it for granted...

I was very lucky too. I had the privilege of hosting Mike for a drum clinic at my store right after Images and Words came out. He arrived very early in the morning so I picked him up at the airport and we went back to my house to kill a few hours before we headed to the store. I thought he’d be wanting to rest after his flight but to my surprise, he was very energetic so we jammed in my studio. Nothing like getting private lessons from MP! Clinic went great! He was a sweetheart of a guy!

Mike and this guitarist what a level !!!

Woow Mike. Thank you. From the Bottom of my heart. On 3.20 i can see my dad. He past away last year. This means more then the world to mee!

My favorite backing vocals from MP, strange deja vu. It was the first thing I notice when I heard back then the album. Sir your are a True legend. Not even the pure magic that everything gets together on this music but if I close my eyes, in a second i can tell thats you playing. That you for sharing this with us. Cheers

All the "Takes 3 guitarists to replace Petrucci" comments are hilarious. These people seriously don't get that there are multiple guitar tracks on the album and this allows that to be played here. It's not 3 guitarists to match Petrucci. Not like he plays multiple guitar tracks live on his own.
