Actually... odds are that it was made to be recorded.... I have a
copy of this show from a radio broadcast... That, plus the fact that
it is KTS really support the soundboard sound... Probably same as
Dream Out Loud... hopefully no radio static on it...

If anyone still wants LatM, and can't find it, Compact Disc Connection still has it. (cdconnection.com is the address to telnet to). However, don't look under "Dream Theater", look under "Dream Theatre". I'm gonna mail the admin about this, but if you want it, it's there for about 16-21 bucks (depending if you get the japanese version or what) Chris

i all... I was just talking to someone I know from back in Pittsburgh who had an awsome idea about getting bootlegs (This has already been posted to the 5150 Times (Van Halen) so I am just relaying the facts.)
The idea is to get a huge group of people together so that we can order bootleg CDs directly from Italy, at the cost that bootleg shops pay. If we can get enough people together, we could end up paying a dollar or so over cost... just enough to pay for any faxes or phone calls over to Italy.
I have already asked about the fact that there are so many bootleg companies, but the person said that they are pretty much owned by one or 2 companies...
If you would like to join in, please either contact myself, or hockeypens@aol.com (Saul Glick) to let us know... Hopefully, we can get enough people together to do this...

Hey folx,
I've been searching through my house for this, and I finally found it. I thought that it would be quite interesting to put this on here - it may be redundant - but tough! :) This is a copy of the Biography that is in the DREAMBILL that everyone received upon seeing the March 4, 1993 Dream Theater show at the Limelight in NYC (the Dance of Eternity show). I assume that this is written by the record company PR people - but it's pretty cool. Here it goes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It has become rather redundant to hail the vibrant originality of every other band to release an album - nobody believes a word of it any more, the claim's been heard so many times and true so few. It's therefore rather difficult to muster the enthusiasm to make such a claim when it IS justified - but what else can you possibly say about a band which can combine elements of such diverse badns as Metallica and Yes, in the same song no less, and make it all work?
DREAM THEATER's originality is not a calculated, cynical pose, rahter it is the product of the open-midedness of this east coast-based five piece, a willingness to consider ANYTHING as a viable element in their wide-ranging forays though the realms of rock and roll. The band's reverence for America's adventurous Dregs, Kansas, Zappa and for England's progressive rockers of the seventies becomes clear with undertones of Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant and Pink Floyd - to name but a few! - all evident within the far-reaching boundaries of DREAM THATER's music; but this is not a band trading on memories instead they are as firmly contemporary and as innovative as any pioneering act you'd care to name. Dream Theater belong alongside the few who are accepted and acknowledged for pushing the boundaries - Queensryche, Metallica, Rush, and King's X. The evidence is clearly audible on the band's brave, stridently unique Atco debut "Images & Words," produced by David Prater (Firehouse). 'Learning to Live', the self-described "quintessential Dream Theater epic" covers everything from metal to jazz in it twelve minutes and serves as the ideal primer for the uninitiated, opening the door to styles ranging from the metallic ('Pull Me Under', 'Under a Glass Moon'), to the melodic ('Another Day', 'Surrounded') and the epic ('Metropolis','Take the Time').
The road leading to this point in Dream Theater's career has been long and arduous, marked by frustrations and disappointments, but the band is all the stronger for it. The lyrics for 'Take the Time' take a somewhat autobiographical look back, and it's perhaps no coincidence that the lyrical themes on most of the album revolve around loss and sorrow and the development of strength and character that can result from addressing such issues rather than running from them.
The band was first put together by Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and John Myung while all were studying at the Berklee College of Music, subsequently drafting in old school friend Kevin Moore.
With a song count of only eight, "Images & Words" encompasses nearly one hour's worth of music. Indeed, it's so eventual and eternally fascinating that it will be one of the shortest sixty minutes you'll ever spend listening to music. The tag of 'progressive metal' will be supplied by many and drummer Portnoy is not about to disown it, but points out that there's a lot more to Dream Theater than such a label might imply. "We're not a throwback," he insists. We've incorporated all the elements of modern metal into what we do. Although, we did grow up listening to Rush, Genesis, Yes, and The Dregs, we're not going to deny that our sound is reminiscent of those bands, but we also listened to bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica and today's music is potentially just as influential on what we do."
The band is not apologetic about all the traditional rules that have been broken in putting together "Images & Words." Sticking to the rules of song structure and length is one good way of being just like everybody else and Portnoy is insistent that Dream Theater's tunes - all of them written in a rehearsal situation, with the players working spontaneously off each other's ideas and themes, are only as long as they have to be.
"We start a song and wherever it goes, we go. We never set out to write an involved ten-minute song, but sometimes it takes that long to fully get an idea across and if you listen to our tunes I don't think you'll find any dead weight in them. Why should we limit our ideas to being exressed in four minutes?"
