>What is the status of the shirts?
"When we last left our story, an ash-colored shirt with "Let light
surround you" in white glow-in-the-dark paint was leading the pack.
The image to appear on such a shirt was still up in the air. More
news later on this Dream Theater network station."

Actually, I think comparing DT to ASIA, Kansas, and Styx is a reasonable thing to do. I see qualities of all three of those in DT, along with those of many other bands. However, I'd really like to know what Mark's friend was smoking when he threw in Def Leppard!!! And why isn't he sharing?!?! While I personally am a Def Leppard fan, their a party band, with much less musicianship, talent, or creativity than DT. (A fun band to listen to yes, but that's about it...) Def Leppard and art rock band?!?! Hardly.

Well, as of now, I have one version, which is not too great (I should eventually have it recopied with better quality). I also am expecting a second video from the same show. I know that there were at least several people that brought cameras into the show. I am getting one, have another and have heard of yet a different one (one missed the beginning).

Say, Did anyone "take the time" to or attempt to post the lyrics to A Change of Seasons to the lyric server, as i dont remember seeing them in the DT directory before. Does someone still HAVE them , such that they could do so? Thought that it might be useful, as it seems to be quite a momumental talk to transcribe them.
