One of the greatest songs of all time, from one of the greatest albums of all time, from one of the greatest bands of all time. After listening to it dozens of times, this song and album still move me in ways no other music has. This capture is simply amazing, and truly timeless.
God I was there for the recording. They played Aquamedley first. About 16 minutes of the whole Aquarius album back to back. When they finally finished, they started this song and I couldn't believe that they would play the entire 20 minute thing in TOTAL. I was stunned, absolutely flabbergasted. 36 minutes of unabridged top tier music in one go.
Most people don't understand my tastes in music in general, but every time I show this song to someone they are speechless after the song has finished. Definitely one of the all time favorite songs I have ever heard, and will ever hear in my lifetime
It's hard to find a prog song that doesn't have some weird section, especially at the beginning. But this is one of the songs I can happily throw at someone (even though it has a weird section about 6 minutes in).
I see a lot of lucky people who are discovering Haken here... Lucky bastards.. Enjoy that. They're incredibly good and I would be extremely happy to discover them again..
@@victormontielpiano I think the guy co-writes, still. Tom is his name, I believe, and cooperates with Richard on other projects. And, yes, he's really good.
@@ben24763 I am fan of Haken and I like Ross, but we must admit that this is there a good few overdubs here, obviously. You can compare with the raw live versions on other vidéos, it's never perfect as here
Yes, as stated, these vocals are heavily melodyned. In fact, I suspect they were completely rerecorded in a studio and then melodyned, which is a shame because I've seen them twice live - once on the american leg of this tour, and once during the Vectour, and (at the Haken 10th anniversary tour show in particular) Ross's performance was the greatest vocal performance I've ever seen from a live band, so I'm not sure why they felt the need to completely redo the vocals from this show.
Totally awesome band, why they are not selling out stadiums is beyond me, a thousand times better than all the shit that dominates radio and the charts these days..
I was lucky enough to see them perform with Mike Portnoy a few years ago. I really didn't think that seeing MP would only be the second best thing on this day
Imo it's better for these bands to stay obscure and small, more engagement with the band. As long as they get the support and love they deserve and they can pay the bills at the end of the month it's okay right?
@@CoRe01337 I read somewhere that they're struggling financially. Some of them still have day jobs. Not sure if it's true, though. Hope the new album did well.
And I love it that Conner is like "effortlessly" tapping the shit out of that line while Ross takes the spotlight with vocals. This band is so good they should have a huge spotlight for everyone all the time.
It really goes to show how well they sound when they're professionally recorded. So many times I've seen comments saying Ross sings offkey or they're playing out of rhythm and they're solely judging it off someone's cellphone recording. God bless you Haken. One of the greatest bands of ALL TIME
@@crusheverything4449 well, I suppose they were the only prog. I really get into. And when I started hearing what was being played in the early and mid 2000s I was losing hipethat other bands could compete with the DT. I mean they are the Bruce Lee of prog. I'm so glad that Haken got discovered.. great question by the way!
Okay so.. for prog roots and history’s sake, check out king crimson, gentle giant, yes, and rush. For newer stuff check out riverside, Steven Wilson, porcupine tree, to-mera(members of haken), leprous(one of my favorite bands), and opeth. There are so many more. I mentioned both prog rock and prog ,metal bands but I have a huge damn list so If you want anymore recommendations lemme know.
This channel really shouldn't have ads. They are really disruptive for these types of videos, and it's other people's music, so it shouldn't even be monetized
Dude, the content is monetized for the bands. Or, at least, it should. First of all, learn how youtube works before you say something like this. cheers

Absolutely original band ,one of the best bands at the moment if not the best.The compositions are mind blowing. Heavy, Proggy, Super Talented and magnificent. When I heard Aquarium I was mindblown...then the mighty Visions came along.
Simply I love it. This songs culminates a incredible progression of this group. They Can do the same lovely songs until the pass of the years, and they can do it better than the past. Simply amazing, simple "Euphoria", like they say.
Amazing performance!!!! Now I undestand the comments below "even better than the studio version"! Lucky ones attending...hope next February in Milan I'll be able to get to listen such an incredible suite!
Holy shnikes! I just discovered Haken about a month ago and have been slowly working my way through their albums. I had just listened to the album version of this a short time earlier before looking for a live version because of the bass line at 4:35. This is crazy good. The vocals around 15:40 or so had me thinking I was listening to Gentle Giant. This band's music continues to impress me at every turn.
Ah cabron. Impresionante como siempre. De mis bandas favoritas de todos los tiempos. Gracias carnales. F*ckin awesome thank you guys. When do you back to Mexico?
One of the greatest songs of all time, from one of the greatest albums of all time, from one of the greatest bands of all time. After listening to it dozens of times, this song and album still move me in ways no other music has. This capture is simply amazing, and truly timeless.
Came here looking for this comments. Thanks
After Haken all rock music becomes flat and primitive... oh, Haken, what do you done to me!)
I fial exactly the same way!
YESSSS Big agree!!!!
I still have Visions above the mountain as their best ever album.
God I was there for the recording. They played Aquamedley first. About 16 minutes of the whole Aquarius album back to back. When they finally finished, they started this song and I couldn't believe that they would play the entire 20 minute thing in TOTAL.

Imagine a world where an extraordinary band like Haken is not famous enough to fill a stadium…oh…damn…
i deny this world
snap back to reality
npc's cant appreciate music
The world is a shit place and 95% of people have woeful tastes in music. Best to ignore people who don't/can't appreciate music like this.
that's prog for you.
Thank you youtube for your search results .It took me only a year to find it
Now ,just fo a screen recording on your phone lol 🤳
A year, it only got uploaded 2 months ago?
i was convinced it was hawken and kept getting the wrong results for months after i heard it once and was blown away
I see a lot of lucky people who are discovering Haken here... Lucky bastards.. Enjoy that. They're incredibly good and I would be extremely happy to discover them again..
everybody gets one
Haken is best band in the world
It's so rare that a band makes a live recording so much better than an already incredible recording. This is a shining example.
The problem is this is NOT really live, this is post processed. There are some actual live recording from this gig, with not so good vocals...
@@amnesie6615 yeah, they definitely tuned up the vocals. But I mean, still a good performance I think.
Omg it's better than the album.
now go buy the dvd!
To be fair, this is around 5 years after it was written, and they have a new bassist, so yeah, it’s definitely better!!!
@@bildom Previous bassist was also very good ;)
@@victormontielpiano I think the guy co-writes, still. Tom is his name, I believe, and cooperates with Richard on other projects. And, yes, he's really good.
@@meanangel8114 Which projects? I am not aware of this :O
No idea how I found this. I'm one of the luckiest 900 people in this world!
make that 901 here.
Impressive cut, Haken, bravo.......aaaaaaand Thank you Dream Theater for the inmense influence on these musicians and those to come after them
Ahh... No, there are plenty of influences here...
@@meanangel8114 the entire Visions album is a clear homage to Metropolis Pt.2 Scenes from a Memory.
Umm gentle giant was probably a much bigger influence. Not to mention all their king crimson like stuff, and how did you forget yes?
You're all correct. There are many influences here. To add on, Rush and Yes are in there as well.
In case you were wondering, this is the song that tenacious D played to the devil.
The greatest song in the world
The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' of Prog...
Umm... Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t prog?!!!
@@crusheverything4449 He didn't say it was.
Crush Everything that’s why he said “oF pRoG”
Bohemian Rhapsody is the Bohemian Rhapsody of Prog
Except Bohemian Rhapsody is sh*t
Just discovered Haken today after a lifetime of loving Between The Buried And Me, Its like finding out I've had a long lost English twin.
Ross' live vocals have improved so much over the years, I love it
Haters will say it's autotune and overdubs...
@@ben24763 I am fan of Haken and I like Ross, but we must admit that this is there a good few overdubs here, obviously. You can compare with the raw live versions on other vidéos, it's never perfect as here

@@Cody_Wan_Kenobi I’m pretty shure this is re-recorded, watch when Ross played the tambourine.
I've known Haken for over a year now but I have never listened to this song before. That chorus is powerful as fuck
Just as magical as when I first discovered it 9 yrs ago
Freakin love watching Diego shred
Totally awesome band, why they are not selling out stadiums is beyond me, a thousand times better than all the shit that dominates radio and the charts these days..
Ah concerts! Those were the days right? Especially Haken concerts. I saw them live in SF once and loved every minute.
Ya thank u spotify, for turning me into this band!!! Haken forever!!!
4:35 that bass lick ufffffff ❤️👌🏻
I was lucky enough to see them perform with Mike Portnoy a few years ago.
I really didn't think that seeing MP would only be the second best thing on this day
Best part 00:00 until 21:44
wenak mas yo
@@dinardanizar3527 mantul ges 😁
They're so... all over the place.
Who needs a playlist? Just listen to Haken.
It's sad that an amazing band like this can only play on a stage that big.
Imo it's better for these bands to stay obscure and small, more engagement with the band. As long as they get the support and love they deserve and they can pay the bills at the end of the month it's okay right?
@@CoRe01337 I read somewhere that they're struggling financially. Some of them still have day jobs. Not sure if it's true, though. Hope the new album did well.
@@yasserwallaby5835 😬 whats the source? Hope not
Zal Ross Jennings posted on his Instagram recently about him having to go back to photography to pay bills, not sure about everyone else.
16:41 the bass on fire! Tom Mclean and Conner Green, idols!
For sure man!
4:35 - 5:00 Oh god I love that bass line so much. Totally nailed it!
Conner and Tom are two awesome musicians for sure.
And I love it that Conner is like "effortlessly" tapping the shit out of that line while Ross takes the spotlight with vocals. This band is so good they should have a huge spotlight for everyone all the time.
This song’s bassline is outstanding! And I agree with you, both Conner and Tall Blonde Guy are awesome musicians.
Goddamn love this band so much. Used to read berserk constantly listening to the album, worked so well for some reason
Tocan de lujo en vivo..Un espectáculo. Genial
My life is complete
this drummer has improved a lot since visions, omg
Seems like the camera staff forgot there was a drummer...
I'm very grateful that Haken exists.
This song is a fucking masterpiece. It speaks to me both musically and lyrically. Amazing.
7:41 that bass roll with the splash
It really goes to show how well they sound when they're professionally recorded. So many times I've seen comments saying Ross sings offkey or they're playing out of rhythm and they're solely judging it off someone's cellphone recording. God bless you Haken. One of the greatest bands of ALL TIME
They re-recorded the vocals here. Full concert btw. lol
@@Ledones I suspected so...
@@LedonesThat's sad to know... Did you have the chance to listen to the original vocals recorded?
Fell asleep listening to Liquid Tension Experiment 3 Amazon autoplay kept things going woke up to Haken Messiah Complex V: Ectobius Rex fantastic find
Ross, Rich, Charlie, Diego, Rey, Conner, love you, Haken!!!
Thanks for over 20 minutes of musical pleasure 🙏❤️ wow...
You guys, truly are keeping prog rock/ meal alive!! I thought it was done after Dreamtheater, thank you guys for being Haken!!
Why did you think it was done after DT?

Brilliant! For me they could bring back the old Haken. I miss it.
16:17 Beautifull *-*
It sounds a lot like Dream Theater, and I like that !
Members of DT say that, Haken is absolutely brilliant, beyond compare - some of them wish to play with them. And that's a fact!
One of the best songs that have been heard in recent years!

"What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story.
And the greatest good is little enough,
For all life is a dream
And dreams themselves are only dreams..."
"We have all some experience of a feeling,
That comes over us occasionally,
Of what we are saying and doing
Having been said and done before, in a remote time -
Of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago,
By the same faces, objects, and circumstances -
Of our knowing perfectly what will be said next,
As if we suddenly remember it!"
Spirits of the night
Communicate with me
Their visions of a future
Of what is yet to be
As I see the way I die
And I try to change it
I am running short of time
I'll just sit here waiting
'Til the moment comes around
Like I've been here once before
And I'm questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu
"There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking,
When you dream more in five minutes
With your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious
Of everything that is passing around you
Than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed,
And your senses wrapt in perfect unconsciousness."
"Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?"
If I could harness this power
Assume absolute control
Of my visions from a future
No one will ever know
That I've seen the day you die
And I tried to change it
You are running short of time
You'll just sit there waiting
'Til the moment comes around
Like you've been there once before
And you're questioning the truth
No escaping déjà vu
'Til the moment comes around
Like we've been here once before
Now there's nothing left to lose
No escaping déjà vu
Faces become strangely familiar
Stumbling upon traces of my visions
No I see a shadow of a man
In my silhouette he stands
The wisdom of my premonition comes to life!
I was just a kid back then but now I'm back to take revenge
I sternly look my killer in the eye
I'm out for satisfaction when I'm suddenly distracted
By the silent cries that echo in the streets
My finger pulls the trigger
With my whole life left to figure if the boy I accidentally killed was me
Voices become strangely deceiving
Gravity's pull has zero effect on me
Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Only now I face the truth
I will have to wait no more
Will this ever end?
I've been through enough
This is the part where I wake up with blood on my hands
Traveling back to where it all began
As for the boy, it pleased me to know
That he'll just wake up nine years old, alone and afraid
He'll live for the day this moment comes around again
Now the moment's finally here
And it feels just like before
Even now I know the truth
I accept my fate no more
I bet you don't remember me
I guess you won't forget
The only way to go
When there is nowhere left to roam
Scenes from someone else's lifetime
Flash like bright lights before my eyes
Scenes from someone else's lifetime
Flash like bright lights in my eyes
From the beginning I never dreamt I was the killer
Over the edge, falling in and out of time
Yeah the moment passed us by
And it felt just like before
As I leave this world behind
I know I'll come back for more
I love this damn band .
THE BEST band I have ever seen live!
Me encanta Haken, esta canción es hermosa y muy completa.
Saw them on the first show of this tour. Best concert of my life.
Absolutely original band ,one of the best bands at the moment if not the best.The compositions are mind blowing. Heavy, Proggy, Super Talented and magnificent. When I heard Aquarium I was mindblown...then the mighty Visions came along.
Damn, I've been listening to later Haken albums and even saw them play in Dublin, but I never went back through the whole catalogue. This is fantastic
Yes very nice 🖤🖤🖤
Holy shit, this is fucking amazing!!!!! Esto es lo más sublime que he escuchado en años 😂😂
Pure musical joy these guys!
Simply I love it. This songs culminates a incredible progression of this group. They Can do the same lovely songs until the pass of the years, and they can do it better than the past. Simply amazing, simple "Euphoria", like they say.
These guys are monsters :D. I've run in to Haken just last year with this song listening on random Spotify, and damn was I shocked!
Incredible band. My favorite. Love from India.
SO so so so so good!!!
Such an incredible live performance!!
Absolutely greatest, fantastic Sound
Una de mis canciones favoritas y siempre los sera
This is not only progressive, this is the progressive life!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sensational

Thanks for this video!! AWESOME!
Jesus man… thank you Haken ❤
Maravillosa canción merecemos un DVD oficial

Incredible!
Thanks Alex for the recommendation 😍

It it very much Dream Theater. Well done!
Absolutely Fabulous !!!

Wish I was there
Classic.
08:04 what a section daamn
The sole and exclusive heirs of Dream Theater.
Great song, and a great performance, but why the hell would you put four midroll ads in the middle of it?
Ladies & Gentlemen, I present you.. the Heirs of Progressive Metal of 21th Century: HAKEN
Goddamnit, Amsterdam!? Why didn't I know of this??
Ah cabron. Impresionante como siempre. De mis bandas favoritas de todos los tiempos. Gracias carnales. F*ckin awesome thank you guys. When do you back to Mexico?
Why do the link above go to a Riverside DVD? Brilliant, sure, but not Haken. Some mistake here...
Nice question. I don't know either. But fixed haha Thanks
16:50 I came to see how the bassist played this part and oh nice it turns blurry and there are a lot of lights :|
