Dream Theater - The Necromancer (Rush Cover) - Jones Beach NY - July 11th 2003

- čas přidán 12. 01. 2020
- Through all my years in Dream Theater, as the Setlist writer in the band I would always throw in occasional one-off Rush Covers into the setlists...
It was a tradition every time we played in Toronto as I threw in “Jacobs Ladder”, “A Passage to Bangkok” and “The Camera Eye” throughout the years at our Toronto shows. We also covered “Different Strings”, “Tears”, "2112: Grand Finale" and excerpts of “Working Man”, “By Tor and The Snow Dog”, “The Analog Kid” and “La Villa Strangiato” through the years as well...
But there was one evening in the summer of 2003 when we were playing at the Jones Beach Amphitheater in New York, that I decided to throw in a real deep Rush gemstone to the completely unsuspecting audience...and later that Christmas, I posted a video from my archives to share it with everybody as a Holiday gift.
I think with Neil’s passing it seems like a timely time to re-share this DT rarity from my archives as a tribute to our biggest influences and our fallen hero...here is DT’s 2003 rendition of Rush’s 1975 classic deep cut: The Necromancer
In a world where most people know Rush for Tom Sawyer, this was a ballsy choice to play. Only a true Rush fiend can register this song mentally and emotionally. And only DT could have done this. Thanks for the post. RIP Neil Peart. Safe journey to Cygnus X-1
I think the members of rush were in their early 20’s when they wrote this song. Think someone in today’s music industry can write and play something of this caliber in their 30’s let alone 20’s?????
Necromancer from Caress of Steel. Dream Theater’s inspiration
Well said!
Well said and of course most Dream Theater fans are true Rush fans
1 of my all time favorite Rush tunes,so F’ing trippy🤟🏻🎼🎼🤟🏻
Caress of Steel is such a good album, such epics!
It almost cost Rush their careers.
Heavy Prog
My favorite Rush album! Good thing at 14, when it came out, I had no idea of it’s critical reception, and didn’t care. A band I was trying out for on drums asked me to learn Bastille day. First I ever heard of Rush. It changed my life.
@@irishguy13 luckily, they didn't back down, and hit their next Prog Epic out of the park.
I think it's still the best album they put out! Shame that the "critics" didn't like it!
8:06 love the heart of the sunrise lick
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, wonderful song as well!
YES!
Seemless!!!
I've been crying for 4 days. Neil was my hero, the reason I became a musician. And Dream Theater is my 2nd favorite band. This video is so good. Thanks Mike.
@Drederick Tatum Some people feel emotions differently hey. Especially when someone has had that big an impact on them.
@Drederick Tatum Don't get bursitis from patting yourself on the back. I'm sure he did other things in those 4 days, but maybe having some grief and not being ashamed of it isn't such a bad thing.
@@cars10w49 I wish Dream Theater would come to South Africa just once so I could see the band that changed my musical influence forever just once xD To see them in the Images and Words tour must have been amazing wow
@Drederick Tatum portnoy himself said he cried. Many did. That's what being in touch with your emotions is like.
Me too dude, you're not alone. Im not handling this very easily.
This is the cover you never thought you'd hear and never knew that you needed.
We should help us to find such beaties!
Caress of Steel is a classic underrated. Thanks, Mike. Neil Peart keep alive yet in his music.
It was before it's time.
They lack the punch of Rush, but I love that they've covered one of my favourite tracks by one of my favourite bands. Hats off to them.
I love his playing. However, I will miss his philosophical perception of music. His ideology of the art form and his view of musical history was zen. So inspirational. I’ll miss you, Neil.
Probably one of the best Rush covers I’ve ever heard. Petrucci’s solo near the end, Portnoy’s Peart-inspired drum-playing, and much more really add a whole other dimension to this Rush epic. I know it would do Neil proud. RIP Professor 1952-2020
Eric Scardino 😑 meh.
Agreed.
Meh.
Kevin Gallagher Frodo Baggins That’s all right. I hear it one way, you hear it another, and that’s all good. Hope you guys at least enjoyed it in some way
Verdade .
@@krg021865 petrucci is the goat you can’t deny
It seems like Caress of Steel is largely overlooked, but it got a lot of time on my turntable when I was young. In my opinion, this record more than any other is when we saw the true first signs of Neil's lyrical genius and the progressive greatness of Rush. Thank you for sharing, Mike. Rest in peace, Neil.
Yeah man,I like it FAR more than 2112.. always have.
I deff prefer it over other Rush albums people overrate. It's more complete of songs I enjoy than Motion Picture for example.
After many years of wrestling with what is the best Rush album, I've landed on Caress as my favorite.
not surprising really, it WAS Neil's 1st Rush album!
@@ThePrion23 Fly by Night .
Leave it to Dream Theater to tribute RUSH while adding in Yes and The Who, two bands who influenced Rush themselves! I've always loved this cover very much! Thanks again for sharing it, Mike!
May Neil rest in peace! 🥁
What a friggin awesome medley.
I thought I caught a snippit of "Heart of the Sunrise"...:O Thx for confirming!
What was the Who song?
@@maximummatt73 Baba o riley
Any top 40 songs of most artists are not their best songs,If you truly Love the group,you know better.Great job Dream Theater
This was such a huge loss for the rock and metal community. RIP Neil 😥
In my 56years of existence, I haven’t seen ANY other artist thats has shocked so many, and so many artist that paid tribute to. Makes me an even prouder Canadian to know he has influenced millions, and touched so many people.
a little nod to Yes just after the 8 minute mark
(Heart of the Sunrise)
Chris Squire and Neil Peart
together at last
covers within covers- nested covers if you will. the who at the end too
The perfect duo...
I’ve been a Rush and Yes fan for 45 years. I have seen both bands a few times. Once in 2010 after a Yes show @ Warner Theatre in DC I met Chris Squire. He was very nice and tall like me. (6’4”)
This and 2112 are my two absolute favorite RUSH songs ! A great cover and tribute to the late and greatest rock drummer to ever sit behind a kit. RIP Neil Peart. I think Neil would be proud.
I found out last Friday , that Mr.Peart passed away. I was at a friend's shop. Sitting there & my friend Lenny says , Neil Peart died.
My reaction was , WAIT , WHAT ☹️. I looked over at the computer screen. My day went from good to complete sadness. First time I seen Rush was 1984 , then in 1991 / 92. Primus was opening.
Went both nights. Then my last time seeing Rush was 2002.
Neil Peart gone ☹️ it's going to take a while. Though I'll never get use to it. Mr.Peart really left a big impact on my life.
Dream Theater, Rush and Who what terrific blend! Outstanding tribute to Neil !
Caress is my 3rd fav Rush album.
1. Hemispheres, 2. Permanent Waves, 3. Caress of Steel
Incredible.. 4 years later. Glad I stumbled onto this.
Damn, that Heart of the Sunrise riff!
RIP, Neil Peart! One of the best Drummers of all time!
That’s where Peruvian Skies came from
hahahahahhaha this is the comment i was looking for.
Gabriele Pirovano just thinking the same thing even with the effects, rush probably borrowed a bit from pink Floyd as well
Daniel Wilson The Necromancer is easily the most floydy rush song I’ve heard.
I've always thought that "Peruvian skies" "inspired " by "enter sandman". Hell, b4 I knew that JP plays a baritone guitar, I tuned my 6 string ESP 2 enter sandman and tried 2 figure out Peruvian skies.No luck.Obviously.
I get the feeling you lot don't know Caress Of Steel, Fragile and Who's Next.
Caress was their best album. It was a huge step outside of their normal motief and it came out beautifully. It's a shame many people don't like it.
Wow. Never heard of a band covering this before! Such a deep cut and an underrated song from their catalogue.
Saw Rush in 76, 78, 79. Relativity an unknown band until the Internet came alone. Caress Of Steel is one of my favorite albums of all time. The ending of Necromancer is just beautiful!
Absolutely stunning cover of a lost classic.
It's not lost
Def my favorite song from Caress of Steel and in my top 10 for rush songs
My favorite band covering their favorive band.
Never thought I would see a cover of Necromancer, much less from DT, BRAVO!.........Good job Portnoy, long live the memory of Neil Peart, the world lost a master, RIP.
Possibly the best cover on the platform
OMG...GREAT Interpretation.now I know RUSH will NEVER die................
I'd LOVE to hear JP wailing on Strangiato, 1 of my favorite rush songs. It's like rush's own version of "erotomania" instrumental heaven!
So glad this song is recognized...by someone besides me...
I love you for loving my favorite band in all of my history. Thank you for being.
8:06 holy shit they brought in heart of the sunrise
Wov ... beautiful... caress of steel is the best album of Rush... pure rock and roll
That segueway into “Baba O Riley” makes me grin from ear to ear!
Dream Theater acquiring SOUL playing Rush songs. Whatever it takes.
Wow. Bravo. Return of the Prince is one of the best songs ever, especially the guitar lead.
I never get tired of hearing this song done by you guys! Thank you for posting. RIP NEP and Love Live Rush
What a great performance ! To real "RUSH" fans, there is NO better tribute to Neil Peart/RUSH than this !
The ONLY band that does justice to doing a RUSH cover - and the ONLY band I would ever listen to equal time to the boys from Toronto. RIP Neil. God bless you guys.
Watching again... and again
The best 12 minutes of my day. Gave me chills.
👏👏👏😔
Obrigado Portnoy
Obrigado Neil "The Professor " Peart.
Sempre estão/estarão em nossos ritmos e corações.
Brasil sempre acompanhando o portina 🤘🇧🇷
Thanks mike! I've always loved the older rush stuff!
Neil and Mike, the two that inspired me to pick up the sticks. Thanks so much for the share. May we continue to carry the flame he lit in so many.
It's a tragedy but Neil gets honored in way he deserves it. I even read an article in a German newspaper where I would never expect to see it.
Wo?
Great stuff here. If they were not already a great band with original stuff they would go down as the best cover band ever. Their interpretations of other classic songs are unbelievable
1977 saw Rush live in Atlanta and they played 2112 and most of Caress of Steel. I'm only saying this
as Rush brought a freshness to rock like non other. They were the key, the end, the answer... And they had A Mission...
I’m guessing they didn’t play Fountain of Lamneth, which in still upset about bc the “no one at the bridge” section would’ve been amazing to hear live, especially when they were all young
i always loved you guys for doing those Rush covers. the best
I was there, this was the first concert I'd ever been to. Look third row center I'm the 13year old nerd with the glasses. (Aren't all us dream theater fans nerds with glasses?)
Dude that is too funny!!
No just you!!!!😂
Not all of us wear glasses
I'm a nerd but I don't wear glasses, LOL.
im supposed to but i dont really wear them lol
That part at 4:30 gave me chills. Awesome version of this brilliant song. Some of Neil's best early work on this album IMO. RIP
Obrigado Mike, obrigado!
Tens o coração do tamanho do mundo e a tua humildade contagia qualquer ser vivo! O Professor sempre teve orgulho de todas as homenagens que lhe fizeste em vida e agora lá de cima continua a sorrir para ti!
Descansa em Paz Neil Peart❤️🥁
Eu ainda não consegui engolir essa. Não caiu a ficha. Pra mim é como se ele ainda estivesse vivo.
Thank you for posting this...
RIP Professor.
Great cover of one of my favorite Rush songs. Caress of Steel is so under appreciated. Thanks for posting. RIP Neil, you will be missed but never be forgotten.
This song is an absolute hidden Gem for people that dont listen to RUSH. Such a good song. RIP Neil "The Professor" "Pratt" Peart. Gone way too soon. His life was just beginning, getting a second chance at family life and actually getting to watch Olivia grow up something he probably missed with Selena as he was constantly on tour with RUSH in the 80s and most of the 90s. Its almost like his life came full circle. He suffered so much tragedy in 97 and 98, losing Selena and then losing Jacqueline to cancer (or as he called it in Ghost Rider a "broken heart") and now he leaves behind Olivia and Carrie. I still cant believe he is gone. Ive been listening to live dvds, all my vinyl and looking over my RUSH collection of stuff since Friday, and now I hate that I missed the 40th anniversary tour, telling myself at the time I would see them next time, not realizing there would never be a "next time". Being a fan for only 14 years and one month being introduced to them in grade 9 english class when our teacher told everyone to bring in a song to listen to the last day before Christmas break and one of my only friends in that class brought in 2112 and listening to that song in that class changed everything, from that moment I could never get enough RUSH. The last concert I saw was on the Clockwork Angels tour with my dad. I still cant believe he is gone. His lyrics were such an influence in my life.
"When I heard that he was gone
I felt a shadow cross my heart"
Nobody's Hero - Neil Peart
This is one of the best (if not the best) covers I've ever heard by DT
@Mike Portnoy. Thanks for this beauty. Pure love.
The biggest influence on my drumming, Mr. Peart... which led me to discovering Dream Theater. so thankful for Neil in so many ways!
Top class cover, RIP Neil
one of my favorite of Rush
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. I love Rush. I also love Dream Theater. An old boyfriend got me into DT. He used to make CD's for me and leave them on my desk at work back in 2002/2003... I still have the albums. I love "Pull Me Under." This Rush cover is impressive. Neil would appreciate this. He was truly a legend. Thank you for sharing.
🌹
Is no one gonna mention that super slick "Heart of the Sunrise" transition right after that killer keyboard solo?
This cover checks all the boxes, damn. Thanks for sharing.
my reaction: 😲😁
It's so hard to find live recordings of this song. Such a shame it's been my favorite rush tune since I first heard it.
Thanks Mike for uploading this gem. Rest In Peace dear Professor!!
Awesome gem of 12 minutes 35 seconds immortalized in time.
Thanks, Mike!
"Swept away with the tide
(Swept away with the tide)
Through the holes in my hands
(Through the holes in my hands)
Crown of thorns at my side
(Crown of thorns
At my side ye ye yeah)
Drawing lines in the sand"
am i the only one thinking at 8:05 it sounds the exact same as the ending of Heart of the Sunrise by Yes? that made this cover even more badass
Joey Burgio you are correct
Definitely
Absolutely masterful.
And Rush were a three-piece? Amazing.
Caress Of Steel was my introduction album to RUSH, sheer brilliance, despite the fact that it was considered a commercial flop, to me it was their (Zep 4) from the awesome album cover to the songs of mystique and musicianship inside it, it will always be THE most special RUSH album for me, this is amazing to see, thank you for this tribute, we sadly say "farewell to a king" "when I heard that he was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart" gone but never forgotten RIP Neil Peart
Same for me, Bro.
Icaro Lira 👍🏼
My favorite RUSH album ;-)
With much thanks.
Goosebumps. Start to finish. How have I never seen this? 9 year old me dropped the record player needle on this track more times than can be counted. The nod to yes is amazing too!
What a song what a Band and what a cover! Music for the soul❤️
Mike you are the greatest living technical tactical drummer and I just realized how long I've been watching you put on just a clinic for anyone who loves drummers, drum solos. I saw you and DT at Flash Gordons in Cleveland in 92. At that time I could not imagine seeing you guys in a wonderfully shitty dirty rock club but it was maybe my favorite show ever. Hope to see you at Eddie's 40th. 🤘
I did not know Mr. Peart but he taught me more than any other person in my life. He is with me today as he has always been.. and will always be#realrelation
Uhhh? This doesn't make sense. Are you dead too?
Rick King The only relationship I have ever had with Mr. Peart was the connection I have with his work. The music, the books interviews and performances and those will never leave me. For that I am truly grateful. I choose to celebrate the life of a brilliant man. The real relation.
That was amazing... and we all know Neil would love the Who being mixed in there.
Farewell to the King. RIP Neil! You inspired many to pick up drumsticks and mallets and create symphonic harmony. Your lyrical and drumming prowess is timeless and will live on. In the space time continuum we danced to the mystic rhythms, journeyed to seek the sacred river Alph as we fly by night under the limelight driven by the spirit of the radio.
The first album I heard frm rush was this one, Caress of Steel.
I love the album, since then.
Thank you, Mike, for sharing this hard to describe, beautiful piece of music with us.
Que gran video! Recuerdo hace como 12 años lo vi por primera vez, aquí en CZcams, luego lo borraron y subieron en 2 partes pero sin las partes de The Who. Gracias por el recuerdo.
R.I.P. Mr. Peart
Playing Drums is not just a question of technique, even though this is essential of course! You also need musicality and heart. A kind of instinct, or superinstinct I would say. Neil was a Master. And a Master has technique of course, but also a big heart/passion which drives him all along his playing. Neil was always putting his heart in all his playing. He was never cold, as many other "technical" drummers... even if they were or are very good! Always fluid, intense, and full of passion. And always at the service of Music. This was, along with his outstanding technical mastery, his very secret I guess. I've always thought that Mike was, and still is, the only true musical heir of Neil, at least in the Rock scene. Not only because of his great talent, but because of his personal musicality and spirit, both so close to the ones Neil had. Mike plays what he likes to play, and the way he likes to play it. Always with heart and passion. As Neil did all along his incredible career. They way they think of drums is basically the same. There is, and there was always a kind of "underlying theme" between them. A special link which comes more from the inside than the outside. And this is why, in my opinion, Mike is the more legit, so to speak, to cover Neil's works!
I couldn’t have said it any better!!
"superinstinct" LOL
There are so many awesome drummers since buddy rich with all kinds of techniques and skill but only one that could be "better" than Neil in my opinion is Mike. I hear Ringo was awesome but to me he had great timing which is #1 thing a drummer needs but his skill level 7 of 10, but many at a 10 but Portnoy and a few others are off the chart. Manchini ,is good but sloppy compared to the precision of Peart and portnoy
Beyond amazing! Note: Neil Peart youngest inducted into Drummer Hall of Fame, second youngest: Mike Portnoy!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE RUSH SONGS EVER,RUSH AND DREAM THEATER ARE MY FAVORITE PROGRESSIVE METAL BANDS EVER.REST IN PEACE DEAR NEIL PEART.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing performance. Thanks Mike Portnoy.
RIP Neil "The Professor" Peart
The best Rush cover I’ve ever heard. THIS is the REAL Dream Theater, if only it could be this way again...
Like so many of us, I grew up with Rush and Neil's passing hurts.
This recording happened about a year after I discovered Dream Theater and you guys changed not only my taste in music, but my life. It's amazing the impact strangers can have on our lives, isn't it? Thanks so much for sharing this, Mike. Like Neil, you're one of my heroes!
Well, that was FANTASTIC!
I have to admit, Neil has been the first celebrity I have ever had to fight tears. Good job Mike, love you brother!!!!
Thank you, sir!! So long, Professor!
This has always been one of my favorite Rush songs and Dream Theatre did an amazing job covering it!
This. Is. Brilliant. Can't understand why the Rush guys were so down on Caress of Steel with gems like this one and Fountain of Lamneth.
There a song to be made : I'm not a drummer, just a bass player, but what's a bass player without a drummer..mother. RIP Neal. Love you Mike.
Amazing. My favorite solo @ the end of this song. Tremendous. Great. Ballsy choice
I had no idea this existed, Caress of Steel is one of my favourites. Awesome.
I never thought anyone would even try to tackle this song live and to see it done so well Makes me very happy
There's a number of Rush tribute bands that covered this song. Not to mention Rush themselves played it on their Caress of Steel tour
Wow!! Muy excellelante...Neil will be missed, but never forgotten, thanks to respectful musicians like you guys. Keep on rockin!
Fantastic cover. Thanks guys.
Thanks for this. Perfect.
Rock in Peace Neil. Thanks for posting this Mike. It certainly raised my spirits
Everyone has their own way of grieving, i am 55 and grew up listening to Rush since I was 13 and I have seen them live 23 times, they made my life and my dreams come to me with just about every song, and guess what I cried for days when NEIL PEART DIED I FELT THE PAIN JUST LIKE GEDDY AND ALEX DID AND THEIR FAMILY ALSO TAKE A LISTEN TO THEIR LAST STUDIO ALBUM CLOCK WORK ANGELS AND THE LAST SONG ON IT THE GARDEN, NEIL I BELIEVE HE KNEW IT WAS COMING TO THE END BUT WHAT A SONG TO GO OUT WITH I MISS NEIL PEART DEEPLY. RUSH CHANGE MY LIFE SO IF I WANT TO CRY, I WILL RIP PROFESSOR 🙏.
Sorry for your lost.
Very sad days since last friday.
We lost a legend. It's hard to believe and accept.
Rush is the soundtrack of my life since 1979.
Rest on Peace "Professor".
My first “big arena” show of any band was Rush sept 1984 at meadowlands in NJ. Grace Under Pressure tour.
