Agree! Pa para pa pa pa paaaa

I also hate those Youtube comments on Mangini screw up He is human dammit!! This kind of music is not that different from sports, and I've seen sports legends like Federer or Nadal or Messi or younameit screw this big or worse on their respective careers, everyone can have an off night or period, dammit!!

On a lighter side, it's funny that Mangini made so many mistakes on a song he nailed on the audition . But I guess with this kind of pieces once you're off it's extremely difficult to catch up.

Not a mistake but sort of relevant to the topic:

The power kept going out during TDoE at a show during what looks like the Black Clouds tour. MP does some soloing while they try to fix it. Pretty entertaining 

[genome]

JLB got one of the words wrong in The Looking Glass at Wembley... I think he sang "walking through the looking glass", and as he turned around he said "or watching..."

[Kotowboy]

" OMG Mangini screwed up one song at one gig - he sucks!!! Bring back Portnoy - who played with the band for 25 years and never made a single mistake  EVARRR !!!

Disrespect reading ? Over 9000.

Or maybe he was being sarcastic.

[Kotowboy]

On You Tube ? impossibruuuuuu !!!

[Daso]

I think JP messed up after his solo ends when coming back on the main riff on The Dark Eternal Night from Live at Luna Park, but I'm not quite sure.

[aprilethereal]

Also, JP fucked up the beginning of the instrumental section of TEI quite a bit when I saw them in January.

[Evermind]

This TLG para pa pa pa pa pa pa is actually catchy as hell. I can't stop muttering it everytime I think about it.

[dparrott]

I remember years ago in L.A. JLB messed up the lyrics to an old song and he looked embarrassed, then came back with the next line.  I forget the song though.

[slycordinator]

There's the time that wasn't a mistake, per se, but James passed out during "The Killing Hand" and woke up moments later, continuing in time.

[Ben_Jamin]

How about in the Metropolis 2000 tour outtakes during The Spirit Carries On, "And after we're gone...its a football game"

[clinks63]

JM one note mistake TSCO in Score..

[chwik]

It is how DT is handeling their mistakes that makes them so professional. They make the mistake and then continues on like nothing happened. Amateurs often struggle to recover....

[RodrigoAltaf]

 I read somewhere that the orchestra on Score has made a lot of mistakes. I´m not a musician so I didn´t pick them up, but if someone could point them out, that would be good to know.

Off the top of my head I definitely remember some intonation issues from the Score orchestra...

[rumborak]

Oh god, yes. The intonation stuff is unbearable at times.

[wasteland]

He didn't pass out, he just randomly tripped on some wire and fell. If he had indeed passed out right there without a warning signal I don't think the band would have carried on with their show for the remaining two hours.

And I believe they were a bit out of synch with the band, particularly on Metropolis. But then they fixed it for the live release.

[Invisible]

Out of tune, out of sync and sloppy on some parts, but I wouldn't say a lot of mistakes. In fact, the first time I heard 6DOIT was on that DVD and I barely noticed anything, it wasn't until I familiarized better with the songs and re-heard on the CD that I started to notice the mistakes. I'm not a proper musician though, just a below-average guitar player with one year of music theory, so maybe to better trained ears it sounds worse.

JP's mistake on TCOT.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQGFqLqzDTQ

They mess up in the Overture of SDOIT many times with the notes and tempo. I don't know about the rest.

[Ad134]

I remember seeing a video on Youtube where LaBrie totally forgot the words in Pull Me Under. He stopped singing and said, "oh my god, I've only sung this like a thousand times..."

On the build up to the chorus, he said "okay, everyone help me out here, because obviously I need it!"

Yep I remember that unfortunately. It kind of killed the concert for me.

Sounds like a landing on a wrong note and then little impro solo by JP at the start of melody (Helsinki 2014, Trial of tears):

Little off topic but I hate way some people are pointing out DT's errors like the music is not what counts but perfect execution. Not refering to this topic though.

Oh yeah, I recalled JP playing a wrong note in Trial of Tears, but I didn't remember which part it was

Few years back I saw Dream Theater at the Fleet Boston Pavilion where they have a very strict 11:00pm curfew.  They fine some absurd amount of money per minute past the curfew, like $20k a minute or something, right?


So Dream Theater are playing their encore and they have about 7 minutes left and they start playing Metropolis.  I don't think anyone realized the time when they started it, but Portnoy realized it about a minute into the song and he started creeping the tempo up.....by the time they were near the end of the song the entire band was in tears they were all laughing so hard and the audience was absolutely blown away, because despite the speed they played it pretty much note-perfect 


I scoured youtube but couldn't find any video of it.

Man, now I want to see this!!!

[hefdaddy42]

Seems like I've seen or heard that, but I can't put my finger on it now.

[Dublagent66]

james forgets the lyrics to the looking glass https://youtu.be/MiW2GYfSwqw?t=31m58s I just love how he fills in the blanks here

Yeah, that must've been hard to do.  Poor guy.   Although, his singing was right on the money.  Sounded great.

This sounds absolutely amazing, footage must be found!

[bosk1]

Barry, are you sure it was Metropolis?  I know they did that at a few shows with Pull Me Under, and I think it is on one of the fan club releases.  I had never heard of them doing that with Metropolis. 

[GentlemanofDread]

Did some checking and Metropolis wasn't an encore at either of the times they played at Fleet Boston Pavilion. Encores were Learning To Live ( https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dream-theater/2002/fleet-pavilion-boston-ma-bd6cdf2.html ) and a cover of Won't Get Fooled Again ( https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dream-theater/2003/fleet-pavilion-boston-ma-43d6d393.html )
