I've watched the PBD video a couple times. As usual, great performance...BUT, where's the energy? At times they look so uber focused on getting their parts right that they almost forget, at the core, it's a rock show. That was the area MP shone the brightest. Showmanship and coolness factor.
Oh well, guess it happens to all of us as we age.
Mangini is as energetic as one can be. The only difference is that he's not as often in the edit as Portnoy usually was during his time.
The rest of the guys seem to me as they've been for the past 15 years or so.
I'd say closer to 25 than 15.
Rudess is tied to down in the same way as Mangini, except when he uses his keytar, which he does with roughly the same frequency as he has since he started it.
Myung has been a statue at least since the SFAM tour. I have to admit though, I&W era Myung on the larger stages would be a lot of fun.
Petrucci never did a ton of moving/running around and hasn't really changed anything in as long as I can remember. Maybe it was falling off the stage that glued his feet down.
Even the guy with the most freedom to run around -- Labrie -- has never been Dickinsonian.
And I'm one who never really cared about any of the stuff MP did, so that's no change for me.
