Three evenings of highlights from the 2014 festival at Knebwoth sees Metallica, Iron Maiden, Deftones, Gary Numan, HIM, Alice in Chains, The Dropkick Murphys and Anthrax perform hits to 50,000 metal fans.

Iron Maiden kick starts the first of three shows from the Apollo Stage, with crowd-pleasing performances of Aces High and The Trooper before Gary Numan takes to the stage with Cars.

Following songs from Alice in Chains, Dream Theater and Airbourne, Metallica, whose Sonisphere set was chosen by a fan vote, round off the show with some riotous performances.

This should be interesting seeing DT on TV...

I suspect it'll probably be The Enemy Inside they'll show, but I can't wait.
i don't even like dt but i had keyboard and an ipad so what the fuck
Jordan is actually DT's tax advisor. He just happens to do their taxes on stage, that's why he has that iPad there.

Last time they showed Peruvian Skies, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a new song or single. Hopefully someone wollrecord this and upload it to Youtube!

They played Pull Me Under at this right? Good chance it'll be that. Maybe The Looking Glass or Lie.

If anyone missed it, they did On Backs Of Angels & The Enemy Inside on the Saturday highlights (James sounded badass on it) I haven't watched the Sunday highlights yet!

strange they cut off OtBoA, but there's a lot of JM shots, so that's really cool. But it seems it's at the expense of screen-time for JR. (at least that's how i felt half-watching it at work)
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

That's the best I've heard that song sound! Nice punchy and clear live mix, and of course the performances were all great as expected. Why couldn't LALP sound like that?
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

It really is frustrating and kinda makes no sense.

JP looks badass.


Makes me think of Lie.


I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I'm the only one who finds JP's playing on the enemy inside solo kinda sloppy?
And not only in the solo now that I watch the video again.

No. I was gonna say he was kinda sloppy all around in this one. In fact it seems he's getting more and more sloppy nowadays which is sad but expected I guess.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Yeah, same here.  It would be nice if this showed up as an official bootleg or some bonus footage somewhere down the road.

It just seems.... fat.

Idk.

I love the older MM JPs and the JP  (12? When it got more metalish)

but I just don't like the new ones.

Wait... you're a lawyer.



Shit.



Anyhow... I too would kill to have this in some form of officially release. I love seeing DT perform in front of huge crowds. (The bootleg from Santiago(?) comes to mind.)

I wonder if anyone else here watched Gary Numan, "Cars" before DT. That was cool.

I actually read it as he was performing with "The Cars".  :facepalm:

I'll check it. Had that song on 45 when I was a kid.

Holy shit that sounds awesome with the crowd singing along. 

Not so awesome how when James tries to demonstrate it at first and his voice kind of cracks...poor guy. 

I think I can also hear JP's backing vocals more than the prerecorded stuff.  I'm using laptop speakers though so I dunno.  Anyone else hear it?
