Well... only the ones in 1986 were actually Majesty demos. In 1987
they recorded the demo "Dream Theater" and then called themselves that, as
well as recording O Holy Night, Heuristica, etc. This is the one (of the
four) Majesty tapes none of us seems to have. The next one with Afterlife,
Killing Hand, Death of Spock (TOWHTSTS), Ytsejam, and Cry for Freedom
(which is actually the Killing Hand we would wind up hearing) is fairly
common, and the third (Mission Impossible, Golden Slumbers) is too. The
fourth of the 1987-forward demos just surfaced on the list... including a
cover of Dead or Alive, and others. Technically, those four are Dream
Theater demos, and the first one a Majesty demo.

From: "james (j.) wolf" <jwolf@bnr.ca>
Subject: Re: Petrucci Shank
Petrucci does flub the LATM "Pull Me Under" in the intro. At 0:28, he is
picking from a C# (4th fret, 5th string) to a G (Open 3rd string) and he
accidentally mutes the G string a bit so it doesn't ring as clear as it should.
There are some other minor mistakes on the album. Another one occurs in
Metropolis. In the instrumental part of this song, the transition from the section where Kevin
is playing fast dissonant runs over chromatic bass lines (7/8 time sig.) to the
slower neo-classical section is kind of sloppy. John P. comes in a bit to
early.
By the way, I kind of like the fact that LATM has mistakes on it. It kind of
validates the claim that this is actually a LIVE recording. Too many live
recordings are touched up so much in the recording studio later on that to call
the recording "live" is almost inaccurate. I get the feeling that
Queensryche "Operation:Livecrime" is this way, unfortunately (because I like
Queensryche so much).

What parts of Pull Me Under and Take The Time share a riff? Right at this

Read the bit at the end. I'm a Rush fanatic but a DT diehard as well. I
can post an offer for DT boots upon request, but I am closing in on
rounding out my Rush collection, and since there is a LOT of crossover
fandom between Rush and Dream Theater, I'm offering this for the list's
perusal and refusal (or acceptance! hooray!)
---
Hello all! Just thought I would drop a notice regarding Rush bootlegs. As
many of you know I will gladly trade bootleg tapes/copies with anybody. I
just acquired two more (hence the reason for this posting). I still need
any boot from the COS tour and any boot from the first 1974 tour. The Live
At Electric Lady LP costs ~$200 around here!! :( Furthermore, I had the
misfortune of losing my copy of Stellar Dynamics (FBN tour) to theft.
If anyone has a Presto tour boot it would be appreciated since my
homemade boot of the Presto show in Phoenix is pretty sorry. Also, the
AFTK tour boot I have is... well... lacking.
Anyway here's what I have in rank order of best sound quality. Note that
some of these are not boots at all but video dubs (hi fi).
Rank Title From this tour Comments
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 A Show of Hands video Hold Your Fire near perfect sound
2 Grace Under Press. vid Grace Under Pressure another great one
3. Spirit of St. Louis Permanent Waves Clear and bright
4. La Villa Strangiato Permanent Waves identical to #3 but

5. Exit Stage Left video Moving Pictures sounds damn good
6. Over The Europe Roll The Bones double CD set
7. Temples of Syrinx 2112 almost same as ATWAS
8. New World Tour Nassau Signals good bass
9. A Right To Passage Hemispheres very clear
10. Through Any Window Power Windows lacks bass
11. Under the Desert Sun A Farewell to Kings lacks a LOT
12. Magic Users Presto lacks even more
Need:
Live At Electric Lady Rush
(or any other Rush 1974 tour boot)
Stellar Dynamics Fly By Night
(or any other FBN 1975 tour boot)
Any Caress of Steel
(you get the idea)
Any A Farewell to Kings
(just as long as it's better than mine)
Any Presto
(better than mine)
The two new ones have the following setlists:
New World Tour:
Digital Man/Subdivisions/Vital Signs/YYZ/Drum Solo/
Closer to the Heart/Chemistry/The Analog Kid/Broonsbane/
The Trees/New World Man/Limelight/The Camera's Eye/2112/
Xanadu/La Villa Strangiato/In The Mood
Through Any Window:
Spirit of Radio/Limelight/The Big Money/New World Man/
Subdivisions/Manhattan Project/Middletown Dreams/Witch
Hunt/Red Sector A/Closer to the Heart/Marathon/The Trees/
Mystic Rhythms/Distant Early Warning/Territories/YYZ/
Red Lenses/Tom Sawyer/2112/Grand Designs/In The Mood
Maybe YOUR favourite song was only played live on those tours!! :)

That cover of Dead or Alive, according to John Petrucci, was basically just
him goofing around with a drum machine, so I don't think that that makes it
a Dream Theater demo in the same sense that those other songs are. It was
just something he did for a laugh and he never intended for it to go any
farther than his own hands. When I asked him about it, he was *quite*
embarassed that I even knew about it and seemed a bit upset that it was
circulating among fans. The vocals on that track came later and were
provided not by John, BTW, but by Kevin Moore(!), or so John claims. Maybe
John is just too embarassed to admit that he did it. ;) It is pretty silly,

What parts of Pull Me Under and Take The Time share a riff? Right at this
moment I keep running both songs through my head but am driving myself crazy
because I can't find anything in common. Anyone care to point me in the right
direction? It must not be as obvious as Wait For Sleep and Learning to Live.

Subject: Review of I&W on mtv.com
If anyone's interested, Adam Curry has finally posted my I&W review on
his Internet site. FTP to mtv.com, login as anonymous, etc. It's in
the reviews directory. File is album.images-and-words.txt. My
biggest problem was trying to project even a modicum of objectivity.
hehehe
No sign yet of my LatM review, but I gather it takes a bit of work to
convert textfiles there to the WWW format ( .html). Maybe it will
appear tomorrow. :)

Subject: Excellent Jazz CD Sampler for $4!!!
DMP's 20-BIT ALL-DIGITAL JAZZ COLLECTION
The current worldwide renaissance in jazz is partly due to the activities of
a number of small labels. They have kept the beat going even in lean times
by presenting new technology as well as new trends and new talent. One of
these dedicated jazz labels is DMP who has made available for $4.00 a
brilliant sampler CD featuring over fifty minutes of music from the best of
their outstanding catalog. To get your copy, all you have to do is send your
name and address (and tell us where you saw this message) with a check or
money order payable to DMP for $4.00. Send to:
DMP
PO Box 15835, Park Square Station
Stamford, CT 06901-0835
Offer expires January 15th, 1994. Send $6.00 for orders outside the U.S.
DMP was the first jazz label to sell compact discs when that technology was
introduced twelve years ago. Remaining on the cutting edge of digital
technology, DMP is the first jazz label to utilize a 20-bit recording system,
which creates a compact disc with an even wider dynamic range, higher
resolution, and lower distortion than conventional 16-bit recorders.
Although the company has acquired the reputation of an "audiophile label,"
technology is only a means to an end for DMP president and co-founder, Tom
Jung who has been nominated for two Grammy Awards as "Best Engineer". "The
music is the most important thing by far" he says. "My goal, through
audiophile techniques, is to make the technology disappear, to make the
listeners so unaware of the production process that they focus only on the
music."
Performers who have been prominent in DMP's catalog of over 60 titles include
guitarist Chuck Loeb, saxophonist Bob Mintzer, pianist Warren Bernhardt
(currently on tour with Steely Dan), and the Dolphins with Dan Brubeck (son
of Dave Brubeck). All are represented on the sampler, along with Jay
Anderson (with Randy Brecker on trumpet), The Robert Hohner Percussion
Ensemble (world music), The Vivino Brothers Band (with legendary organist Al
Kooper), David Charles & David Friedman, and The Bob Smith Band.
Although they may not all be big names, these artists have "big-name talent."
(Note: As a friend and a BIG FAN of DMP I offered to introduce them to
cyberspace. When I got this sampler I was floored over the quality of the
music and was compelled to share this great find with other music lovers--
hope you have the same experience I did!)
Happy holidays,
HG
P.S. If you plan to order the sampler or have any questions/comments about
this offer, please tell me where you saw this message and send your name and
e-mail address to:

Heh heh. I bet you think you're funny, eh, Cahsman??? :) At least I'm
grouped in with three drummers who have some recognition and get some respect,
right??? :)
Oh, and don't forget, keyboards work pretty well, too!!!!

Well about the live Pull Me Under being on radio. I heard the live song
a couple of months ago on the last pirate radio which was a national show.
So the live song has been heard nationwide on the radio.
