VERY nice! Jordan's piano part almost makes me wish it were that way in the original.

Cool video, thanks for posting!

Another_Won · « **Reply #3 on:** March 03, 2016, 02:22:14 PM »

Yeah, really cool! When was this done? I thought they stopped doing covers when Portnoy left.

bosk1 · « **Reply #4 on:** March 03, 2016, 02:23:53 PM »

Why would you think that?

JayOctavarium · « **Reply #5 on:** March 03, 2016, 02:36:22 PM »

That was fucking beautiful

First thing that came to my attention: CASIO?

There's really not a brand in the planet that doesn't endorse Jordan Rudess.

Awesome cover.

Beautiful!

I hope DT will do an acoustic show, or half-acoustic show, sometime in the future.

Unusual and nice to see James singing without a microphone,
and the handwritten notes on Jordans screen

Filmed in Oslo Konserthus, cool! (I was there for the concert sunday.)

Dude, I don't know. What do any of us here think anything

Am I alone in thinking that? Not so much that everyone else in the band hated it, more that MP just pushed it more.

I would love to see more of that! More generally, naked and raw performances of singers are so rare to come by. Studio reports are dime and a dozen, but it's very rare to find clips from singers just singing, no effects, no music beneath, just their pure voice (which is where you actually see the strenght of a singer) and nothing else!

I agree.

I don't think there have been any other covers in the MM era. Could be wrong, but I'd also say that MP was the one to push covers.

Must be in a minority that wasn't a big fan. JP and JLB are fine, but Jordan overplays it.

He usually does. I used to be very annoyed by that a couple of years ago but I grew to like it. Those fast arpeggios and blue scales are so JR, you know? So I really didn't mind them in this cover.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2016, 04:52:38 PM »

Can anyone see what JR has on his cheat sheet ? It looks like notation but it's far too short to be the entire song..

maybe just the intro ?

Also - nice harmonies from John.

EDIT - also the drumkit doesn't look so huge that close up and with only 2 bass drums.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #18 on:** March 03, 2016, 05:00:05 PM »

That is awesome! My favorite band playing a song by my second favorite band. It doesn't get much better than that.

Funny, I had the same reaction when I was hanging out up on the stage with JP and Frank Aresti before the show when I saw them last tour. JP said I could go stand behind the kit and take a closer look as long as I didn't touch anything, and I was thinking how it doesn't look nearly as big as I thought it would.

Yes yes yes! I'm surprised they did this, very unusual for them.

Yes; the first staff/pentagram is what he plays from 0:46 - 0:52. The last bar of the 2nd staff is what he plays at 1:00/1:01 (the notes are A-B-D-B-E). The rest of the writing I can't make out, but yes, it's the intro.

It's confusing, though, because the last bar of the first staff makes you think he would play the last notes of the phrase an octave higher, but he plays them as the original version.

EDIT - Holy crap, already 300 posts in under a month!

SuperTaco · « **Reply #22 on:** March 03, 2016, 07:01:03 PM »

Labrie really tapped into the floydian side of his voice for this one. Awesome cover.

Those JP backing vocals though

erwinrafael · « **Reply #23 on:** March 03, 2016, 07:26:22 PM »

Yeah, John's backing vocals is really the nice surprise in this vid.

FsF · « **Reply #24 on:** March 03, 2016, 09:15:41 PM »

Great to see them going for a cover again, always great to hear John's backing vocals. Perhaps Jordan could have toned it down a tad though...

Glad you guys dug it. I set it up with Classic Rock Magazine here in the UK a while back as part of their coverage around the album release (another piece being the current April 2016 issue's Story Behind The Song feature on Pull Me Under). We flew them out to the second Oslo show last weekend, so they could film it in the afternoon before the gig. (We didn't do it in London to let the guys have the day to concentrate on the show, given we had the very first two performances here). Think they did a splendid job! We did something else (also for Classic Rock) at the same time, so that's to come in due course too.

Another_Won · « **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2016, 06:05:42 AM »

Awesome, really looking forward to seeing more!

And this wasn't in an official concert with the full band.

Mladen · « **Reply #33 on:** March 04, 2016, 08:16:09 AM »

A very nice cover. Could have done with some of Jordan's improv, but that's the way he feels the song.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #34 on:** March 04, 2016, 09:39:49 AM »

I loved it. JP's backing vocal was really nice.

MP was definitely the driving force behind doing covers, especially the full-album covers. I love this, because it is a cover that we get to see and hear, and it isn't a direct copy of the original, and it isn't taking up "DT concert time".

Looking forward to the next one.
