Cette video n'est pas disponsible dans votre pays :\
Kinda figured.

Tomorrow at 1:30pm EST? I will have to make sure I am not busy at work.

Dear ARTE,
Have you ever heard of HTML5 video?
Sincerely yours,
A free software advocate

Kinda figured.
It will be on Youtube eventually.

Ayeeee. My household is going to be switching internet services tomorrow and the guy is going to come 30 min. into the set. I don't want to watch the beginning of the set and not finish it and wait hours until it gets to youtube, it kinda loses the spontaneous of real-time action that I love in a proshot.

Please note: Due to legal reasons, the stream will be only available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France.

Oh, ffs! I'm going to be at the airport flying home on a 2:30 flight. :zeltar:
Just have to wait for the YT upload later.
-
They'll rebroadcast it on Saturday as per the link ? posted above.
-
It's working on Tor browser (no matter where you live), you just got to enable Flash in add-ons.
-
In fact, I have to use Tor Browser to access DTF, because for some reason it doesn't work in Russia now, so no big deal. :lol
At The Gates are performing now, and apparently the next bands are Queensryche, Opeth and then DT. Definitely a must watch thing for me.

That's a good string of bands. I would love to see the Savatage set. :metal
-
2 hours to go.
-
It's go time. False Awakening Suite is playing on the tape. If only this stream would stop having buffering issues.
-
No buffering issues for me, and yeah, it's on!

That guy crying during TSCO. :lol
-
That guy crying during TSCO. :lol
There was one more :lol
But I think I would be on the edge of tears if I was there. Wacken + TSCO = tears :biggrin:
-
It is an emotional song so I understand him.
-
The naked dude in the crowd ffs :rollin :facepalm:
-
What the hell did JLB do at the end of Panic Attack?
-
The naked dude in the crowd ffs :rollin :facepalm:
He was on someone's shoulders too... who the hell agreed to do that?
-
Yeah, that Panic Attack ending was weird.
-
Yeah James there's a double chorus at the end of Constant Motion :loser: :P
-
I'm so glad they're choosing BITS over OTBOA.
-
That was most enjoyable version of CiM I heard. Maybe it's because of different vocals, I don't know. That's coming from someone who don't like song (I won't say hate).
EDIT: JP's newest guitar is gorgeous in one color, I can't say that for two color variant :/
-
much envy

A brief interview of them is up.

I was very surprised to hear JP say "last minute writing." Makes me really wonder about a potential double-album.
-
My god that final CM chorus is too embarassing to watch. :facepalm:
-
Really rough performance vocally :(
-
Watching this in HD on youtube right now. Already liking it better than the most recent DVD :metal Really great live energy.

I'm not sure I agree with you here. I think BTFW has a much better vocal performance and the energy seems much better, imho.

Yea agree about the vocals, but I'm only on Metropolis right now. Damn that is such a tough song to sing :lol Thought James did fine on Afterlife. JP's guitar sounds much better here IMO, a big reason I didn't love the last release after the initial viewing. I also like where the guitar is sitting in the mix. I've always enjoyed DT mixes better when JP isn't so overpoweringly prominent.
BMS sounds awesome! :tup
-
Not Labries best but he want horrid. The band sounded fantastic! They all nailed it!

Wasn't it an incredible performance? Man I'm loving this ;D

I love Manginis take on the instrumental section of Metropolis! Fits well and sounds great. Just enough of his own flare to make it his 'own' but enough of the original sound to keep it the sound we all know.
-
Oh yea that part sounded amazing. Want Mangini to put that part up on his youtube, or has he already? :biggrin:
Man JP killed the TSCO solo :omg: And those people in the audience crying during the song...That was great.
-
Definitely the most interesting CM performance I've come across. Odd how James suddenly was in gear vocally on that one. Signature version of the song is still probably Universal City '07, but it's close.

Agree with this!
-
I really like how audible John Myung is on whole video. DAT BASS :D
-
Wow, Afterlife is not a good choice for an opener. James is struggling.
EDIT: Ok, I have to say it right here. I know it's what James does, but on a stage the size of Wacken's, when the singer walks off the stage and the other guys just stand there looking down on their instruments, it feels like watching a rehearsal.
-
Wow, Afterlife is not a good choice for an opener. James is struggling.
Things were much better in general for JLB after Metropolis.
-
I don't know. Burning My Soul is also beyond his range. It's all super-strained. I've also never heard him go into that many "screeches" before.
-
Not Labries best but he want horrid. The band sounded fantastic! They all nailed it!
Fortunately for him, he got better as the show went on. Afterlife and Metropolis are performances he'd probably like to forget.
One thing I've noticed with James on the past few tours is that he'll stray away from the phrasing on the album slightly during some passages (usually towards the end of a lyrical stanza/section). This is usually where he tries too hard to do something he shouldn't and it makes me want him to stick to singing the songs the way they are on the albums. Now that being said, there are little quirks he does live that are better, but he'd benefit from sticking to the phrasing from the albums.
-

Except for forgetting the last chorus on CM, I'd agree with you on James.
-
The band sounds amazing. Great drum, guitar and bass sound (keyboards sound the same always lol, so no complaints there). Vocally, not such a great performance. Maybe he's still getting better from the flu, but most of the problems came from not reaching the notes. Poor JLB, I love him and I'm usually a big supporter of him, but this isn't him at his best.
He gets better as the show goes on. They should really consider some easy songs at the beginning to make him warm up properly. Afterlife is ridiculous (and not that good of a song).
-

I fully agree. The vocals on that song are all over the place. There are videos from this tour when he comes out and does great on that song, but it seems that might be the exception. So I agree with you on that. However, I love Afterlife and I'm glad they're playing it. It's one of the few 'good' songs from WDADU. The others being A Fortune In Lies, Ytse Jam, and The Killing Hand, imho. The others are enjoyable, but generally not as good.
-
AFIL would have been an amazing opener (and JLB does an amazing job on that on LALP)
OMFG if Bridges in the Sky sounded like this on Luna Park...SO POWAH
Take note Richard Chycki, pls.
-
James makes songs more difficult by improvising. He would do better on Afterlife if he sang it like Score or album version. Same thing with Metropolis. Why that: "...and stay ALIIIIIIVE..."? :lol He did that on every live version I heard (Score?) but thing he did on album sounds better imo and is easier to sing.
-

Yes!

It's actually not. The thing is, leading up to that part, you have to be full-on belting it out, and there is little breathing room in that section. I have found that it is really hard to turn on a dime and go from belting to soft on that line and have it sound halfway decent (and not feel like your larynx is going to jump out of your body).

Labrie's Mistake at the end of Constant Motion
The naked dude at Panic Attack
Labrie's constant ruining of the melody at TSCO.
This is pure gold.
-
JR's Snarling Pig sounds were super audible today.
-
Yeah, this one of the best mix-wise things I've ever geard by DT.
No instrument sounded intrusive, and JR was beautifully high.
John Myung stole the show, awesome, awesome bass sound.
The drums were also just in spot (altho many people apparently feel they could have been slighty higher)

Maybe Mangini could have been a little bit higher...I remember thinking this on those fast cymbal hits on the Panic Attack instrumental section where he does the interesting technique. The mix was otherwise so perfect for me I can't complain though. Would have enjoyed a bit more closeup camera focus on Mangini.
Just tried messing with my EQ settings to hear Mangini's cymbals a little clearer. Turning up 10-12K (I settled on 11) 4 or 5 DB helped a lot for me :tup

Ok, I know it's not a perfect gif, but well... There you go
-
You guys are leaving out the best part....John Myung is almost smiling when they take their bows!
Aside from that, the vocals sounded really off the first two songs. Not just James, who struggled a bit, but the actual sound of the vocals. Fortunately, everything went better after the first two songs and I thought it was a killer performance. I loved CM. BMS sounded great but they clearly rerecorded the "burning my soul" altered voice and it sounded horrible.
-
I gotta say James sounded much better at the Metaldays festival... And I agree, Afterlife is a pretty hard song for an opener, they should have taken his warming up into consideration while creating the setlist.
Also, it's incredible how much more atmosphere there is when a show is played during night, as opposed to this daytime show.
-
I love the melodic ending to Metropolis Pt. 1.
It's been several yearsa already, but everytime there's a DT Youtube video uploaded, the "I wish Portnoy is back" comments still keep on coming. And because Mangini drummed the hell out of this show, people are now wishing Portnoy is back for his back-up vocals. :lol
-
MM played well, but there were like, what, 4 shots of him in those 1.5 hours?
-

Yeah no kidding...that was a bummer for sure. He played his balls off and sounded great and we didn't even get to 'see' him do it. :(
Just re-watched the show and I agree with the sentiment that JLB did improve as the show progressed....but he was rough early on.
The band sounded so tight and the mix was spot on. Agree also with the JMX comments...it was awesome to hear him so represented and awesome to watch him perform. Would love to know what JLB said to him when they were taking their bow.
JP looked as if he had seen the thread where people were questioning if he'd lost a step and he decided to slap everyone who believed so in the face to bring them back to reality. I'm fairly certain he played so many notes so fast he reversed time and killed the dinosaurs with his fingers of fire.
-
It's weird, James was really much stronger on Pistoia, he was basically always going for the higher phrasing throughout Afterlife! Maybe he's suffering from fatigue or he had a relapse of whatever he suffered from earlier on this tour? :(
-
There are just some times where I have a real hard time listening to James, this qualifies as one. Otherwise the band sounds awesome.
-
I hate the way he fucks up the melody at The Spirit Carries On. Vocal problems like being sick or tired, I can forgive that, but deliberately messing with an emotive song to make it sound like you're speaking, not that (This same issue at the "I found out what all of this means" part was what ruined the almost perfect performance at LALP)
Ok, you sing it everynight, it gets tedious, I agree. I wouldn't mind if he messed with CM or other more active songs, but you just can't mess with songs that create an atmosphere such as TSCO, you can hear the audience following the CD while he talks.
-
That look on Jordan's face when he's behind JM at the start of As I Am... :lol You can also see the setlist every time they show Mangini from behind - not good for those who wanted to avoid any spoilers. :P
But yeah, those first few songs are pretty rough vocally. :-\ I wonder if James is sick again, because all the notes in the fifth octave sound really screechy and strained, and he avoids the higher phrasing and screams that he's done on Afterlife and AIA in some of the videos I've seen from this summer.
On a positive note, the mix sounds awesome! :metal
-
Anyone noticed Myung's counting beats with headbangs at the start of As I Am :') that was gold
-
Yeah that was cool to see, I do the same when there's no drums to do the counting for me, like the beginning of As I Am right here. ;D
-
I'm just watching through it now, and I noticed it's using the studio version of FAS over the intro video.
The mix is nice overall. Usually they bury the keys in the mix with these festival broadcasts, but I can hear it nice and clear. They usually bury the background vox too, which is the case earlier in the show, but I can hear JP better as the show goes on luckily.
The drums sound a little wimpy, but ok. JLB sounds like he's having trouble with the higher range on the earlier songs, but seems to improve over the show.

Also, I wonder why the fuck were the Wacken videos brought down.
Nobody's going to buy shit to see that again, and you cannot warp time back to relive it.
Wtf.

I'd gladly buy it, but it's not as if they're planning to release the DT set in its entirety. Unless they are, but I reheheheheally doubt it.
Unless DT can get a hold of it and release it as a Ytsejam item, but I'm not holding my breath for another official Ytsejam Records release, like, ever.

They could just offer it as a free download like they did with the Happy Holidays 2013 gift. It doesn't have to have the 'Ytsejam' label to it.

The Queensr˙che video is still there, better watch it before it's gone as well, good performance and sound.

I think Queensr˙che's last album was great, and they're still amazing live!

Damn, I was away for the weekend and I missed it. Can anyone upload it somewhere (different video streaming site, file sharing site, e-mail, something)? Much obliged!

They could. Though if it was on a DVD, I wouldn't mind like, extra interview footage, and stuff like that.
Hold on though, do most of Wacken's DVDs include the full concerts? Or are they just like a couple of songs from each artist like Gigantour? Cause if it's the former, and they plan to release DT's set as part of their DVD release, then it's understandable why they'd take it down.
-
Man, JLB has been changing the phrasing and melodies very frequently in recent years. He should just stick close to the album versions, he's just making it harder on himself, and to be honest, the songs just don't sound quite as good...
-
Damn, is there any way to view this now?
-
Damn, is there any way to view this now?
Go to Petrucci's house and tell him to play The Glass Prison second solo as fast as he can, this will rip reality and create a spacetime vortex which will destroy the entire current universe, forcing existence to restart at a previous point, which will be a few days ago.
-
Damn, is there any way to view this now?
You really aren't missing so much so don't feel bad. Not a great performance by any stretch.

A lot of people in this very thread beg to differ.
-
It was definitely worth seeing. They haven't played some of these songs in many tours, it was cool seeing them in front of such a massive crowd, it was great seeing a good quality recording of a day time outdoor show, there was a lot of unique aspects to this show.
-

OK I'll clarify. If you can ignore the vocals, it's a good performance.
-
It was definitely worth seeing.
Yeah....this. JLB may not have been on top of his game the first few songs but the rest of them were spot on and in the zone the entire time.
JLB 6.5/10.......Rest of band 9.5/10 IMO.
-
JLB 6.5/10.......Rest of band 9.5/10 IMO.
That sounds about right.
-

I can concur. JLB had a rough start, but he did manage to get into a rhythm towards the middle of the show, which was nice. The rest of the band killed it, though.
-
Damn... didn't figure it was going to be taken down. Guess I shoulda downloaded it. :angry: Doing that with QR right now before that one disappears. I'm sure it will pop up somewhere soon.

...and again, a lot of people in this thread beg to differ. It seems people universally felt that James started out rough but about half the people here say he improved immensely after Metropolis.

I use YouTube Downloader - https://download.cnet.com/YTD-Video-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html
Can't remember if it tries to trick you into loading additional add-on software when you install it, so make sure you do a custom install, and don't just click-through... pay attention to each dialog box or it'll instal something you don't want - like the ASK toolbar, or Norton or some bloat-ware shit.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic tool.
-
Thanks Chad. Will try.
-
JMX's audible bass steal the whole show! :metal
The mix overall sounds really great even though drums could have been a bit brighter. But yeah, everything have been mentioned earlier here so I'm not going to write anything about JLB's vocal problems at the beginning but that naked guy cracked me up :lol :lol
Nice performance but I really miss those extended jams or alternative live versions which MP wanted to do quite much in those days.. I understand that they do have to use click tracks to use lighting and backing videos in correct time but somehow spontaneity and live aggressiveness (don't mean too fast versions..) is lacking here.
(And Jordan's voice is there too! That rerecorded "burning my soooull" is definitely Jordan! :D )
-
Loving how I can hear Myung so clearly. Band is on fire. JLB lacking a lot, shame.
-
Thank God for DTF or else I would miss so much content from DT.
I Gotta say.. this was a really nice Concert. I could see how the spirit carries on really move a crowd... (better than in any DT live dvd). I've not been fortunate to see TSCO live myself.
About something people seems to not like.. I really enjoyed the rawness in Labrie voice... I know he wasn't even close to be singing any good, but that made it more "catchy" metal in my ears.. I'm definitely on the "more prog" side of Dream theater, but I am not a usual Labrie voice fan.
