Wow! Devin, wow, he blows me away each time I hear him.

Devin vocals are amazing

Labrie is great and all but Jesus, when Devin starts it's like it lifts off to a whole other level!

5:00 that's definitely the back of my bald head.

When a guitar master with an operatic voice who happens to be a musical production and writing phenom walks on your stage... keep it cool. Well done, all!

Devin, is a god amongst mortal men!

So cool. Thanks Rick B:)

Thank you for taking this video. This is amazing - chills everytime i watch it. And I have seen it like 20 times already :)

wonderful POV for Tosin and John, thanks for sharing. I'm going to the Redmond one, all these videos from the different shows is wonderful to watch :D

Devin is such an amazing musician and singer. I accidentally napped to long and missed them in Grand Prairie

I was in Detroit. James LaBrie cannot sing anymore. Dream theater is severely limited in the song selection already given to James declining vocals. He's struggling every time he sings. Half of the night he was flat. It was not great.

Music flowing between these geniuses like a stream of cold water in a desert.

The best way to describe this? It's about Devin. Literally, he blew the doors off the place. Nobody can deny that. Unless they are deaf.

It's kind of crazy how James voice kind of just gets swallowed by the mix, but Devin cuts clear through and sounds so much more full.

My first time to get to see Devin (didn't think I would ever be able to) Phoenex Arizona at the last concert of the tour! Well it was Fantastic!

Devin Fuk'n Townsend on stage with Dream Theater??? Cool as hell. Wholy heck, Tosin Abasi just walking around??? This much talent on stage at one time could rip a hole in the fabric of spacetime!

Just going to say it the harmonies on guitar at the end of the song really add something that I never thought I needed in this song! And take it to another level. Plus that Amazing Grace intro and Devin's vocals... Yeah enough said

Wow, DT with a vocalist who hits the notes correctly ...

Now I can't unhear the harmonized guitars, it works so damn well!

we need this on DVD now!

This is around a month after my mother went up to James in the grocery store to congratulate him on his Grammy. He told her it's on the fireplace mantle. :)

The amazing grace gave me chills

Saw this show in Detroit. Absolutely incredible.

Great combo of bands

Amazing

Legendary!

so happy for Tosin :)

Just Dream Theater being themselves as always AND THEN Mr Devin Townsend appears. Whatever he touches becomes (of not having a better word) just way better. Greatest musical (and not only) mind of our times.

The beautiful chaos on stage because everyone is so humble but also doesn't want to let anyone down with being too careful. xD Can't imagine Dream Theater without James' beautiful voice. I don't get why so many people in Dream Theater video comments always focus so much on technical prowess. Yeah, it's cool when you can do crazy stuff on an instrument or with your voice, but that doesn't make a song.

the most beautiful thing i've seen today :-)

Agreed. Unlike other musicians, singers do have an expiration date. I think James has reached his. I've been a DT fan almost since the beginning. I've seen them live twice. I don't think I'd pay for another ticket to see them with James. It's just too cringy.

It's like I told my friends: Of the three bands, Dream Theater had the weakest vocal performance. No disrespect to their history, because I love Dream Theater, but James can't sing anymore.

Labrie is singing flat...Townsend is on key

That's not Mike Mangini, he's drumset is tiny as F*

Devin is great. Labrie is emarassing, he is great singer in the studio, but live performances are often indifferent.

Nothing personal against the guy, but LaBrie has no business charging money for his performances, he's just barking instead of singing, and if the band is going to continue to tour, they need to replace him. It just was very awkward listening to him and it wasn't enjoyable.
