This song has aged like the finest of wines. I did love it when Systematic Chaos released, but over the years it has become one of my absolute favorite of their epics.

In The Presence of Enemies really shows what Labrie is capable of. He gets so much shit for his inconsistent vocal, but when he nails it, he fucking NAILS it.

MP is back to DT. Can't wait for the upcoming album!

WTF is wrong with People who dislike this? 🙄 Absolute masterpiece of music. 🤘🏻🔥

Individually, the two songs are great, but put them together and you have an absolute monstrosity of prog metal mastery. Amazing !

20:53 Petrucci arachnid arm 21:09 Just Mike Portnoy things 22:51 Jordan's synth MEMEtron

19:05: +Aren't we the best John? -Yeah John.

My soul is yours Dream Theater, I will dance for you

My son has been pestering me to check these guys out for weeks, I must thank him.

When James LaBrie has the right day, he beats most singers. When James LaBrie has the wrong day, most singers beat him. This performance definitely belongs in the first category

00:00 - I. Prelude 04:19 - II. Resurrection 08:53 - III. Heretic 15:08 - IV. The Slaughter of the Damned 18:18 - V. The Reckoning 22:03 - VI. Salvation

There are no words enough to describe how immensely epic and huge this song is. It describes an entire world of music in just one song, the way Yes did it with Close to the edge, Or Genesis with Supper's Ready. Or ELP with Tarkus. It's just too awesome. And I had the privilege of watching it live twice: Once in 2008 and the other 2019. Dream Theater are the absolute best.

One of the greatest moment of prog history for sure and they totally know it while they are playing it. Awesome.

I can't believe how lucky this audience is. This song has been played in its entirety very few times. This is absolutely over the top, man. My favourite of all time. I just can't get enough of this fucking masterpiece.

Sumpah..! aku tidak faham jalan pikiran mereka membuat musik seperti ini, sungguh diluar nalar.. apalagi lagu "A Change of Seasons" I Love it.. I Love so much DREAM THEATER 🤘

This is such an AMAZING story and song. DT has been my very favorite band since I first heard Images & Words in 1992... and nobody has ever been able to top them, in 32 years now. I LOVE you guys..

I love the synth behind LaBrie's voice at 16:15 and 17:27

When i rewatch those clips I remember why I spent almost 25 years of my life listening to this band almost every day. Gosh, I miss this Dream theater

One of the most amazing musical pieces in the history of mankind

The MIXING here is brilliant, u can hear Myung's bass and the drum is not too loud which serves the song

22:48 No one: James LaBrie: "Shia mikiu owte malaka"

great performance and all, but lets appreciate myung's bass line on 22:38

"In The Presence Of Enemies, Pt. 1" [Music: Dream Theater / Lyrics: John Petrucci] [I PRELUDE ] [Instrumental] [II RESURRECTION ] I saw a white light Shining there before me And walking to it I waited for the end A final vision Promising salvation A resurrection For a fallen man Do you still wait for your God And the symbol of your faith? I can free you from this Hell and misery You should never be ashamed my son I can give you power beyond anything Trust me you will be the chosen one I was forgotten A body scorned and broken My soul rejected Tainted by his blood Beyond redemption A sinner not worth saving Forever taken From the one I loved Do I still wait for my God And a symbol of my faith? I can lead you down the path and back to life All I ask is that you worship me I can help you seek revenge and save yourself Give you life for all eternity Servants of the fallen Fight to pave the way For their saviour's calling Of this wicked day Through a veil of madness With a vicious blade One man rises up Standing in their way Redemption Redemption for humanity "In The Presence Of Enemies, Pt. 2" [Music: Dream Theater / Lyrics: John Petrucci] [III. HERETIC ] Welcome tired pilgrim Into the circle We have been waiting Everyone's gathered for your arrival All the believers Angels fall all for you heretic Demon heart bleed for us I've been waiting for you, Weary preacher man You have been expected Now we can begin Let this hollowed Day of Judgment reign I have known you father And your sacred quest Blessed soldier fighting You shall never rest I have known you but do you know me?

Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil! Heil! [IV. THE SLAUGHTER OF THE DAMNED ] Don't Bother trying to find them They will be coming to you Fight, Fight and destroy until you can't take anymore Slay Spill the blood of the rebels They are the children of hell Flesh, Of the undead Stopping at nothing to kill Sin, Caught in a moment of weakness Committed the greatest of all Sold, Half of my soul And now it's too late for you I judge us my eyes see I judge and I am just For I speak of the beast That lives in all of us Unwelcome ones your time has come Lord, You are my god and my shepherd Nothing more shall I want Walk, Through the abyss Into the shadow of death Fear, There is no evil to fear now For I know you are with me My, Cup overflows With my enemy's blood I, Decay in the house of the lord Forever, amen Death, Will follow me All the days of my life I judge us my eyes see I judge and I am just For I speak of the beast That lives in all of us Unwelcome ones your time has come Servants of the fallen Fight to pave the way For their savior's calling On this wicked day Through a veil of madness With a vicious play One man rises up Standing in their way It's time for your reckoning [V. THE RECKONING ] [Instrumental] [VI. SALVATION ] My soul grows weaker He knows and he waits He watches over me Standing at the infernal gates In the hour of darkness The moment I feared has passed The moment I lost my faith Promising salvation My soul is my own now I do not fight for you Dark Master

God damn I love james labrie. Pure magic

these guys have to be the most talented group of metal musicians of all time. I am left speechless by what this band can do. Absolutely amazing!

I was so shocked the first time I saw this on the DVD, I couldn't believe how insanely skillfull and talented this guys are. If I would've been actually there in the front row I would just fuckin' die...

Jordan Rudess' intro performance for ITPOE Part 2 truly gave a chilling effect to me. Thing song successfully conveyed the atmosphere of where its inspiration come from, "Priest" Korean manhwa (comic). Can't stop listening to this song...reminds me that evil lurks in every corner of earth

this is some of there best work

Jhon petrucci is a best guitar player of all time!! Fact!!

the first solo makes me cry

that arpeggio on the keys at 25:13 .. owns it ..!

The opening to Part 1 is E P I C

This is one of the best live performances of the band, including LaBrie, you can hear every instrument and voice colocated exactly where they must be in.

Oh look, lord of guitar John Petrucci is playing a solo, lets make sure i get the drummer and the bassist

Los 26 minutos más satisfactorios, para esta pandemia.

Absolutly incredible! this video uploaded 6 years ago and only now I am watching it. defenitly one of they most performance ever!

Which Dream Theater song is your favorite? Me- "Yes."

Absolutely beatutiful. No words can describe the grandiosity of this rock suite. Wonderful.

One of the best songs of all time! Genius in the extreme!

so much goosebumps i cant handel it

3:36 I absolutely LOVE this part. It's just perfect.

Greatest Prog Power Metal band ever!!!!! Each musician is a virtuoso! Kan't think of any other band with that kind of ingenuity and a perfect symbiosis between thwem while playing! AMAZING! I LOVE YOU GUYS !

I don't care about who is faster than who or has a better technique, I just know that I enjoy so much listening to and seeing MP playing along with the others, the chemistry that he had with JP (most of all), and that vibe that they all had back then, they're like a different molecule now, I just prefer this one. Sweet performance!

My soul is yours dark master, I will fight for you

22:00 it's just amazing how petrucci calculated this masterpiece sheets..

One of the most amazing pieces of music. God damn.

21:17 Portnoy: Huh, this is so easy

this is the REAL music

This level of skills are frightening me man. Damn...

of the best songs I heard, the keyboard and guitar harmonies were very fine. Petrucci and Rudes, they were musically amalgamated

Epic song writing and performance from DT.

One of the most amazing things I have ever seen or heard.

I'm sure the spit the Mike spits at 23:00 is a mark they use for acknowledging they are in the 23th minute of the song.

I like Dream Theater

Jesus Petrucci is the best Petrucci.

So happy that I have seen this live. My all time favorites. \m/

12:30 - Labrie looks like Akerfeldt lol

They really take it to the next level. Great stuff

Nice job Labrie!

How they can be that much prog and recognisable? Pure genius.

5 giants on stage together!!!

Its my fav! Specially the part one, but both 1&2 its.. Epic!

My No. 1 song of ALL time! An Excellent manifestation of the war between Good and Evil.

This song really makes you wonder about what goes on in that patronage society at Berkley :D

Sistemathic Caos é um dos melhores do Dream Theater não sei explicar mas adoro ouvir desde a primeira vez adoro as músicas também!!! Vídeo com as duas partes ficou muito show 💛💚🤟🇧🇷

Portnoy era demais cara, arrebentava mesmo, nos passava energia, eu tive o prazer de ir no show quando ele ainda estava e vieram para sao paulo, fodastico

Total masterpiece

I've been listening to Dream Theater for two decades and for much of that time have considered them my favorite band and yet I'm still sometimes just awestruck by what they can do.

The intro is killer!!!!!!!!!!

This was DT’s golden age 🔥🔥

Part 1 is one of DT's best songs. A song you never get tired of even on repeat.

So many Rush, King Crimson and Pink Floyd references composed and played by these talented and virtuous guys. These songs are two master pieces.

I was there..., Live at Rotterdam The Netherlands......., i miss this Dream Theater

Still such an epic song and performance 😍 .... I love Dream Theater so much. LaBrie singing it so well!

Piel de gallina, escalofrios y muchas emociones encontradas en esta Obra Maestra, necesitamos a Portnoy de vuelta el tipo ayudo a componer los mejores temas del grupo.

YES ive been hoping someone would post this so badly!

if popularity scaled with legitimate talent these guys would probably already be billionaires.

imagine hearing them for the first time, reading that singer is their weak point, and then he shows his skill: 15:27

Flawless

2 min de intro iniciais que valem mais do que a biblioteca INTEIRA de funk do brasil. o restante da musica fica pra valer por todos que ainda vao sair daki ate o infinito.

Músicão da poha ta louco..... não tem um dia que não escuto

The solo conclusion of part 1 is crazy! It’s insane the range of emotions they can throw at you in one song

They all freaking killed it Like always

What a great track from the beginning to the end

Amazing Labrie ♥♥

Magistral!!!!! Por Dios,los escucho y se me hace un nudo en la garganta, es impresionante la catarata de emociones que despiertan en mi.

Dear God, how much I miss Portnoy And I understand how good Mangini is, one of the best drummers in the world, but Portnoy was Dream Theater's soul

I really wish they had gotten better cameras for this. a lot of it looks like it was shot on some video cameras they got on sale at walmart instead of pro level cameras.

i went to both of the systematic chaos tours in detroit, ‘07 and ‘08, i was 9 & 10 at the time and this is the only way i can relive this show so thanks for uploading 🤙🏻

en chile tuvimos el placer de que nos tocaran en vivo estas dos canciones. obra maestra

When the editor cuts the second the singer sings ''My enemies blood'' - IT IS TERIBBLE!

guys you are worried about today, i remember the days when this was considered a bad album

This is pretty much perfect. James sounds so good.

15:07 damn, imagine watching this riffs live

Absolutely amazing footage of this tour. I saw them 3 times. Just amazing.

Так не каждый может \\\\\\\ респект вам с 90 года слушаю вас

Glad to see @mikeportnoy rejoin DT finally & this is very excellent song shows how the total band energy merge together all! Mike rules the drums!

how can a band be so good years later I can't even understand them

siempre que escucho el Final de esta canción me pone la piel de gallina, digna para una película.
