I must say that I love the fact that you added written commentary instead of pausing the video every 30 seconds.This is how reaction videos should be done.

Fun fact: Jordan rudess (the keyboardist) went to Juilliard school of music at 9 years old. One of the most prestigious music schools in then world, as a child.

You'll love The Count of Tuscany and Octavarium by Dream Theater. These are not just epics. They are beyond epics that will take you on an out of body experience/journey.

Yes please more Dream Theater. They’re living legends. Next time breaking all illusions by Dream Theater live at Boston Opera House

108 time changes is insane, great reaction and I will also suggest Breaking all illusions.

They are the E.L.P of the 2000s, and this shows off to the max their instrumental virtuosity but like ELP they also have some amazing storytelling ballads like ‘The count of Tuscany’ that you should listen to.

Without doubt one of my fav songs is "The Count of Tuscany", the last track of the album Black Clouds, and the last album with Mike Portnoy that was one of the most creative members in the band. Miss him a lot in DT.

This is without a doubt my favorite band of all time, and in my opinion also the greatest. NO ONE can outplay these guys! Their music has literally changed how I look at music, both as a fan and as a musician myself. This particular song is basically the benchmark for intricate instrumentals, with time signature changes virtually every measure or two (with most of the musical elements never being repeated). However, as great as this song is, it is literally just a brief musical interlude in the middle of what I consider the greatest concept album of all time, "Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From A Memory." All of Dream Theater's songs are epic, but there are a group of songs that are considered by their fans as TRUE epic masterpieces...most of these songs are rather long (to most non-progressive music fans), and are usually the showpiece songs on whatever album they were recorded for. My personal favorite is a song called "The Count of Tuscany" (which is also my favorite song of all time), but other examples include "A Change of Seasons," "Octavarium," "Illumination Theory," "In The Presence of Enemies Parts 1 and 2," and "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence." If you would prefer to get your feet wet with a few shorter songs, I'd recommend "Pull Me Under," "Take the Time," "Under a Glass Moon," "Lie," "The Dark Eternal Night," or "Forsaken." All of these songs will also give you the chance to experience the remaining member of Dream Theater...vocalist James LaBrie. Thank you for checking out my favorite band! I'm glad you enjoyed them, and I hope you will react to more of their music in the future. God bless!!

you gotta watch them perform this album in its entirety.. Live Scenes From New York. it's about an hour and a half long but man what a musical masterpiece!

There are good bands, there are great bands, there are incredible bands, and then there's Dream Theater. Welcome to Dream Theater. Nearly all their songs are of this caliber. Enjoy.

I just loved your reaction. No interruptions, clear reaction of the complete song and your readable thoughts of the song are lovely

You should also react to their earlier live version of this song with the original drummer Mike Portnoy. It's from their live in New York show called Metropolis 2000.

I bought their first album in 1989 and the musicianship blew me away. I was also at their first Scottish concert in 1993 and wow...these guys could play. Still a fan in 2022, what a journey. Oh and i'm posting this before i even watch your reaction.

you need to hear the song "The Best of Times" and all the context that surrounds it. One of the most emotional songs I've ever heard in my entire life.

You would love Liquid Tension Experiment - When the Water Breaks, or any other song by LTE which is basicaly Dream Theater with a different bassist and without a vocalist

Thank you for this reaction! React on:" Octavarium" live at Boston Opera Hous and "Breaking All Illusions" live.

Yeah, more Dream Theater would be great. There's only one thing i would suggest: pick a live version! You will find beauty and interesting stuff in all of their songs (and they cover a wide range of different styles and musical complexity), but seeing the Band performing it live with their incredible skills makes the whole, already amazing experience even more fantastic. Keep on rocking, thanks for sharing, cheers.

You just gained a brand new subscriber. Please do more dream theater. They are my absolute favorite band

scene from a memory is a masterpiece of a concept album

I have been a fan of them for now 30+ years and still going strong, The Count of Tuscany should be next because it´s magic.

Sabina... the way you make your reactions....this is how i love it. At first you listen to the song and then you say about your feelings... that is why i love your chanel so much🤗

Awesome reaction, I enjoyed it... Liked and Subb. Thank you! Please react to a Filipino girl group sings ‘BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER’ (So Hyang Version) | 4TH IMPACT Cover Tnx.

I have been following them for the past year or so and I believe they are incredibly talented, they know and understand music and the way the write their songs with so many time changes it really captures your attention. In my humble opinion they are the very best at what they do.

they are for sure futuristic sounding! octavarium, illumination theory, and count of Tuscany are quite amazing ones to check out.

As complicated as it looks, this is actually one of the easiest Dream Theaters songs to sing. I loved this song, when i saw it the first time. Your reaction is similar to mine.

Hi! I just watched your Dream Theater video. It was my first experience with them. No idea why I think I've ever heard them before, but YES, YES, YES, I will listen to much more. Oh, and I liked your style so I smashed the subscribe button.

I like your style of not interrupting the music. Subscribed.

Hello Thanks for the reaction ;) New subscriber, I've prepare a video for you to react 4 girls named "4th Impact" competed on X Factor Britain sang the Jessie J. hit "Bang Bang" garnering a standing ovation from the judges and audiences & It's 186 Million Views.

Great to watch people getting their minds blown by DT for the first time! I'd recommend watching their live performance of Illumination Theory. Absolutely immense.

If you don't know them yet, I would love to hear your thoughts about "Opeth" :) Start with the studio version of "Ghost of Perdition" and after that "Faith in others" and maybe they'll catch you too! :D

Fan of dream theater since 1992 here!🎶✌️🎶

you will get more goosebumps when you see them live

Look at the audience. Everyone is glued to the performance instead of their mobiles.

i really love your reaction! welcome to the world of DT!

Although this is not my favorite song from them, you can notice the enormous creativity and technical perfection. They are the absolute top in this perspective.

It’s hard to pick a favorite dream Theater song. I love so many of them. I suggest Pull me under. It’s on images and words which is basically dream theater’s first album which was 30 years ago. It’s their first single they got played on the radio and one of the only ones that ever was but it’s amazing

i love how every single youtuber trying Dream theater for the first time goes to this song, and then tries to headbang to it XD bon honostly well done video. love the text and not pausing and talking!

This song is probably their craziest but they have so many amazing songs. A good start would be going through their album "Images & Words"

Me and my wife was there. Sitting with Mrs Rudess. Its one of the best time of our lives. You should check illumination Theory. Same concert.

One of my fav tracks. I've had the same headphones for years, love them. Same peeling happened, so I rubbed it all off. Still going strong! Cool review. Thanks.

Great reaction. Your first understanding of DT. Illumination Theory is my fav. Enjoy

I was at this show lol, incredible experience. Cool genuine reaction!!

The precision reminds me of Emerson, Lake and Palmer from the 70s. Red👍🏻

now this is one proper reaction video, no talks, only reactions. thanks

I've never head Dream theater too this is my first listen to this band too

20 years ago, when I got tired of explaining Dream Theater to people who had no idea, I started calling them the best unknown band of the world 😆🤘

Her face says it all. Look!! her face changing to a metal face at the end haha :)

It also helps to hear Metropolis. They tie elements of that song into this song.

Most of them are Berkley School of Music graduates. The drummer, before joining DT was a Drum Professor at Berkley!!! My two favorite DT songs are Systematic Chaos and Lie. All the songs on their newest album are awesome!!!

Con el nombre "prog rock" no puedo NO suscribirme de inmediato a este canal. Gracias por no interrumpir! Es algo que pocos hacen! 🔥 Y sobre la banda, los fans podríamos cantar eso nota por nota 🤩

Dance of eternity

Many comments on what is the best dream theater album or song and we've all got out favourite. For me I think scenes from a memory is outstanding. I think it was Mike portnoy that said if you want to get someone into dream theater listen to the album Octavarium.

It add time signatures 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵

If you love this, you should check out Liquid Tension Experiment with Acid rain or When the water breaks, from Live in LA. Liquid Tension Experiment is with 3 of the guys from Dream Theater and 1 other on bass. Intrumental only, no vocals. Absolutely 100% impressive 🙂

And I forgot: If you liked that, check out "Instrumedley". If that's not self-explanatory, it's a medley of most/all of their instrumentals they played live a while back. Usually that's the one people recommend for first-time reaction videos.

Check out John Farnham - When The War Is Over ( Live) [ The last time Melbourne 2003]

They are so amazing live. The time signature in this piece changes 108 times

I thought you should have started out with something more commercial that the band did, like Pull Me Under, but you actually did recognize their brilliance. Good job

"The sound of metal in they year 3000." Yeah I can see that. This was my first listen too; it kinda sounded like a medley instead of just one song. Those guys can really play, I would've gotten totally lost. lol

Precision... and Perfection.

Finally someone who knows how to do music reaction videos. No stopping and on-screen comments. Thank you.

No Pause Then Talk, Just Pure Facial Expressions. Amazing!

i cant imagine how long they try this to make this amazing

Iconic band with the best musicians on the planet.

It's an engine. Thank you for your reaction. Subscribed! : )

I love the song SCENE TWO I: Overture 1928 by Dream Theater. Same album but amazing song.

Love that so many people are still discovering Dream Theater! There's never been a band quite like them, and they're still putting out great progressive music to this day! (But I do think that their best work was in the '90s, of which this piece of instrumental genius was released.) And yes -- I too get goosebumps from that final section. It's just so distinctively Dream Theater -- epic, experimental, futuristic. They have more than earned their place as one of the greatest prog bands in history. In many ways, they remain peerless...

Thank you... more Dream Theater would be appreciated.

My name is Leslie and I am a drummer. I have been listening to to their music since the 80's. In the 90's. I met the band and had a chance to chat with the singer and original drummer Mike Portnoy. I stongly suggest listing to their titled song " The Great Debate ". Your ears will thank you for it. Thanks for your channel and good work, take care.

forever Dream theater blessed and lucky for those who listen to it

It's also important to listen to this whole album -- as there's some context in how it flows through the album to this song to the end.

Come on everybody!! RUSH RUSH RUSH!!!!

Great reaction and comments. Thank you.

Metropolis 2 is as close to perfection as i have ever found! Dream Theatre are all individually and collectively about the best musos on the planet today.

I strongly recomend to anyone to take a look to the Dream Theater live at Budokan. It is extremely well recorded, both sound and video and you can see all the "vulgar display of power" and virtuosism that they have, and is also a very rich and delicious collection of songs, and includes the "Instrumedley" which is just astonishing. Congrats for this discover Sabina!!! Enjoy DT. Cheers

It serves as the interlude to Metropolis Pt 2, and it flows seamlessly into One Last Time. I'm glad I got a chance to hear it played live in its entirety a few years ago.

I saw them live yesterday, they were pretty incredible, even though LaBrie voice is not what it used to be This is quite a ridiculous instrumental, but more important is that it belongs to a concept album Metropolis Pt. 2, probably their best work

They sound great. Reminds me a lot of Rush and songs like YYZ

DoE is legendary, it is one of a kind. Next you should take on Count of Tuscany, it is a fantastic journey through a wild story.

I got to see their 20th anniversary tour for the album this song is on (Scenes From A Memory). They played a one hour set, then the *entire* album, then a 30 minute encore. I cried :')

These guys are masters of timing, transitions and visual excellence. If you were a fly on the wall when they jam you better be good at math lol

The Count of Tuscany will give you Goosebumps as well!

You can try the album where this song came from, Metropolis Pt. 2:Scenes From a Memory. It tells a tragic story you need to experience yourself.

I saw Dream Theater on their last 2 tours, the first of those (2020) was a 3 hour show which they played an hour in support of their at the time new album, and then the last 2 hours they played Metropolis pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, which Dance Of Eternity is from, in full as part of a 20th anniversary celebration. The second time I saw them (this year) was in support of their latest album, A View From The Top Of The World. The title track is 20 minutes long. They also played The Count Of Tuscany as their encore song (also clocks in around 20 minutes). This is a highly recommended next song to check out from Dream Theater. Guitarist John Petrucci wrote it after a visit to Tuscany where he met a random person that took him on a guided tour of an estate and told stories of the heritage of the land, he started thinking he was being kidnapped and would never see anyone again, until the man reassured him he was free to leave whenever he wanted.

The guitarist John petrucci the bassist John myung and the drummer who’s name escapes me are all Berkeley school of music students and tge drummer taught there

“The sound of metal in the year 3000” Perfect description of Dream Theater!

Glad to see you found DT, it's a bigger rabbit hole than Nightwish.

My favorite is Illumination Theory

love this song!! I'm sure it's been said, but you should watch the version with Portnoy on drums. he originally wrote the part before Mangini replaced him 10 or so years ago. this album (Metropolis Pt 2) is also so much fun to listen to!

Din vän, hade rätt! 😂Min favoritlåt, om du vill kolla den, "Barstool warrior". Jag gråter alltid till den..

I would actually recommend "The Spirit carries on", just to let you see the width of what those guys can do.

I love Dream Theater! Good choice!

Indeed, watching this video with you is like being on an adventure with the most beautiful space princess in the galaxy (that would be you ❤️). Just the video I needed to see to be happy. Dream Theater in Sabina's reaction. The best of today, thank you 😊. Yes, the band blows your mind 🤯

Okay you got to check out liquid tension experiment and the song is acid rain watch the live in LA 2008 version. I know I'm a year late watching this so if in the comments you already heard this sorry. If you like this you'll definitely like that and it's most of the band members from Dream Theater

I love your musical taste

This group is also part of a spin off band called liquid tension experiment , which I think wold also blow your mind.

Top 10 hardest time signature music ever written.

This video is 99% perfect! It would be 100% if it was made using an older version with Mike Portnoy, the original drummer. He's the guy! He's the monster! Congratulations! Your reaction method, without interrupting the song is the best!

Dream Theater forever ❤️❤️❤️

Dream Theater best band of ever!!!! none at their amazing musical level!!! they're perfect!! amazing techinicism!!!
