Welcome back to Dream Theater, Mike Portnoy! 🫡 If you want to try this and many other Dream Theater drumless songs, get a 7-Day Free trial to check out Drumeo! 👉🏼 http://www.drumeo.com/trial
Doesn’t get any cooler than a Jellyfish shirt. Reminded me of Dime Bag Darrell. Dude bought music all the time at his local record store (where I just so happened to work in 1998-99), but none of it was what you’d expect it to be. Not by a long shot.
It wasn't six o'clock, but fun seeing this on Christmas Day. Cannot wait to hear the album, I feel like a kid at Christmas again. He did the warp speed/slow down version at one of the shows I saw and remember that I noticed them laughing it up at the end of the song. Funny to learn that it wasn't planned and he was messing with the guys! So happy Portnoy is reunited home with Dream Theater and my Christmas wish is An Evening With Tour in 2024!
I first heard Pull me Under in the Limewire era, which was full of incomplete tracks. For the longest time I was all frustrated that I couldn’t find the “full” version of the song. Only when I finally managed to buy the CD did I realize that ending was on purpose lol
Mr. Portnoy, thank you so much for this Xmas gift. And thank you for the 2024 New Year’s gift, being “Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater”. Really, thank you for this!
I'm glad you're back with your old band but I was hoping you might get with the last standing members of Rush I know you were a big fan I don't know why they won't go back out I know Alex put out an album but I'm not sure about Geddy Lee
This is why dream theater is GOATed. whether they have a 4-4 Time Signature song or a song where they change time signatures over 100 times. They always make the Guitar, Drums, Bass, Synth work flawlessly and obviously vocals are amazing too. Next time can you do Dance of Eternity 😀
Mike is truly master of the kit. I think the modern drummers who do clinics for the drum channels are far more relatable, this way all grow together as drummers.

This makes me so happy
Yes!!!! Mike is back in the band!
Drum god. He plays without headphones, so he got points
im looking forward for a 30 years awake tour next year. or a good dt album. soo happy to see portnoy in dream theater again!
Not releasing the 6:00 video on Christmas Day was a miss.

Now that Mike is back with the band, I think John should shave the beard. Time for change.
I would like to ear the version of mike portnoy of the Alien 🤟🏾🖖🏾👽

I always imagine what the bend it would be if they had a decent singer….
Amazing choice of shirt! Jellyfish must be one of the most underrated bands out there 😊
Love seeing back in DT. However if Geddy and Alex came calling to do Rush again and he was offered the gig, does he turn them down?
Man that ride sounds incredible
Can’t wait to see how he takes the Mangini era songs on
When Drums sound like a piano! So brilliant and pleasant playing! ❤️
Nothing against Mangini but Portnoy and the two Johns are DT. They started this amazing journey at Berklee. Amazing to see him on Drumeo.
Omg I forgot how good that track is.
I love Mike Mangini, but DT Hasn`t been the same without Portnoy. Welcome back.
now the drums sound much better with the current tech …. Thanks !!!
old fart, it sound classic
Mr. Portnoy, thank you so much for this Xmas gift.

The king is back ! I think I'm gonna cry !
My Hero ❤
Still have to pinch myself 🤩

i thought "dance of eternity" and "spirits carry on" that put them on the map … i mean i know them from that …
He is home
The most shocking news of the years
Yeahhhh ❤
Can't wait to hear MP's version of MM's drum fills from 2011 up to 2023.
Mike always plays SO relaxed…it's an honor to watch him perform!
We are back boy's!
mike perfect, sound..mmmmm…bad
Beautiful videos waiting for the return to Dream.
Can I know what set I use on Drums and Cymbals?
Thank you

The legend is back to the Theater!!!
Can't believe hear "hi it's Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater" in almost 2024. I'm so happy 😍 😍
7:08 a little bit tight there no? hehe
I can tell he’s not as smooth as he used to be…
Mike is truly master of the kit. I think the modern drummers who do clinics for the drum channels are far more relatable, this way all grow together as drummers.
Meanwhile, the baby voice by LaBrie 😂
Back home on the Dream Theater throne baby! Love to see it brother!
