When the Keyboard Breaks is a
live album by progressive metal group Liquid Trio Experiment 2. The
album was recorded during a live show of Liquid Tension Experiment in
Chicago, IL. The album came about when, during the track "Universal
Mind", Jordan Rudess' Roland Fantom-G8 keyboard started playing
half-step higher notes on every fourth key. Following the song, he went
off stage to see if his technical crew could fix the keyboard. In the
meantime, the other three musicians decided to improvise until Jordan
was ready to come back. Jordan was on the phone with Roland in Japan for
at least 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. The other
three just continued to jam with drummer Mike Portnoy giving updates
every now and then (the determining point for the track splices). In the
end, Rudess took John Petrucci's guitar and started jamming, then
Petrucci took Tony Levin's bass, and Levin played Chapman Stick. When
that jam was over, Portnoy ended up taking Levin's bass and Charlie
Benante ended up playing drums. The keyboard was never fixed that night.
The production of the album was not official, as it was taken from a live stereo recording from the mix off stage. Thus there was no way for it to be properly mixed so everything is how the audience heard it.
The name of the album is a pun on the Liquid Tension Experiment track When the Water Breaks from Liquid Tension Experiment 2.
