    16:17 You can just tell that the guitarist and keyboardist practised this solo together for HOURS, starting slow on the metronome and gradually getting it up to tempo. And even still, it takes all of their focus and concentration to get it right. This whole cover is brilliant, but that's my favourite part.

Despacito has nearly 7 billion views while this masterpiece doesn't even have a million. It really makes me sad that so much wonderful art is overlooked by most people.

On the contrary, in this case I think it's different: this is a beautiful cover. The song is not being played in the same way as the original, it's being beautifully interpreted. :)

    What an epic performance. Lizzie Ng's Flute solo was flawless. Martin's vocals put him up there with the best there is. Performed with all the sweeping majesty that this particular piece of music evokes. Just epically stellar. Thank you all, for making my evening... In an ugly world, I've found another beautiful spot, to free my mind.

    What can you say? I was literally choked up by the emotion you played. Though it took a while for this video to cross my path, I have to say what a pleasure I got out of watching these musicians play an extremely emotional Dream Theater piece and execute it flawlessly. Talk about being impressed. Even the vocals were flawless. My, oh my. As Jordan Rudess stated, absolutely impressed. Yes. A beautiful job.

    It's great to see these young people play this prog masterwork with such passion and truth to the original - it makes me appreciate this album all over again. The new self-titled album doesn't move me like this, it somehow seems very sterile and uninspired in comparison. I will dust off my old Octavarium CD and give it a spin tonight! This orchestra has done a fine job with it.

  • @taylorplambeck
    @taylorplambeck Před 7 lety +1

    Absolutely incredible. That must have been so much fun to play together, having every single piece in the room, the amount of energy together must have been mindblowing. Also, fuck yeah with the fucking horns at the end. They kick it until Razor's Edge and at the very end of the song they get to play the most epic four notes ever. You obviously have the respect for this song that is required to have a cover do it justice, and it showed.
