And that probably means the Sacramento show will be

As a reminder, the shows are at the Warfield, SFO TH
and F, Dec. 1 & 2, consecutively. And noooo, they
couldn't play *any* DT after the announcement, instead,
they play fucking Jane's Addiction (Been Caught Stealin').

Just got back from the DT Baltimore show (my first) and they really
blew the roof off the dump. I'm sure someone will post the entire
set list in excruciating detail, but the highlites for me were:
-the improved? jam at the end of Take the Time
-The incredibly heavy rendition of Caught in a Web
-Last and definately not least--Metropolis as the encore!
And now the obligatory questions:
-what was the song/guitar riff in the middle of the drum solo?
-anyone tape the show? Please get in touch...
Later.

Well, I just got back from the show at HammerJacks here in
Baltimore. Once again the band has outdone themselves. This is the
second time I have seen them live and they continue to impress. I was
down on the floor on Myung's side near the overhang on the floor. Great
view of the band, better then when I saw them at Pier Six, though
HammerJack had about 200 people more than fire limit I would guess.
(Money, Money, etc...)
Well, as you all know, I Mother Earth is still opening for them. I
really didn't know what to think, some of their instrumental stuff was
really great though I won't know if the singer is any good til I hear the
album, he had to yell to be heard over the guitars.
Dream Theater came on about 9:00 and here is the set list...
Pull Me Under
6:00
Take the Time / Classical Jam w Piano Solo / Take the Time
Caught in a Web/ Drum Solo/ Caught in a Web
The Ones Who Help To Set the Sun
Lifting Shadows Off a Dream
Mirror/Lie
Another Day
A Mind Beside Itself
Encore:
Metropolis
This order is close, I may have Another Day and Lifting Shadows misplaced.
But these are the songs.
Other Notes:
The mix was pretty good, I could hear everyone pretty well, though it was
of course very loud.
Petrucci still is using the Faces guitar.
Portnoy is a madman, he must have the stamina of a decathalon runner.
James' voice is still in good shape, though it is early in the tour, I
hope he is still this strong in April when they hit the East coast again.
Myung does some incredible bass work. I was comparing his ability to some
of the other bass players I have seen and he is certainly a great, up
there with Levin, Squire, and others.
Anybody else see the girl in the low cut red leather dress on Myungs side
near the back, if you didn't you missed another great concert highlight.
Later,
Mike
P.S. If anyone got a copy of this show I mail you a limb to get ahold of
a copy.

YES!!!!!!!!
I went to the Hammerjacks show in Baltimore last night. I'm in a hurry now
so I'll just tell you the good stuff.
We waited out side after the show and I got ALL of their autographs!
John P. twice! They are all great! Derrik (sp?) was great too, he was
outside longer than anyone, James was out there the shortest time!
I got my picture taken next to Mike, next to John M., and next to John P.
I can't wait to get them developed. Mike saw my Ytsejam shirt and said he
wanted one, I told him that some were supposed to be mailed to them.
Where they??
I heard from Derrik that they are gonna start working on Scarred next so that
they can play it on the tour.
I asked John P if there was any chance of hearing ACoS on this tour and
he said, "Uh, No". Then I asked if they would make a single and again the
answer was "Uh, No". Damn....
We started talking to Mike about his Beavis impression and then he pulled his
shirt up and he had a B+B shirt on!! He rules, HE RULES!!!
Welp I'll tell ya more later.
See ya!

Message-ID: <m0r0rdM-0002Y4C@donews.cts.com>
No, they're not going to be guests or anything - at least
not yet, but the coolest thing happened this morning:
I'm driving to school and listening to the Howard
Stern show (for those overseas, he is a radio talk show
guy who broadcasts all over the country - very popular, at
least in New York, Cleveland, and Los Angeles).
Anyway, after commercials, the show resumes with a
brief 1-minute intro. that says "We're back with the Howard
Stern Show" with various music in the background, things
like Porno for Pyros, Nine Inch Nails, and many others...
Well, the kicker today was that the commercials
ended and the intro. began - WITH PUP (THE BEGINNING OF
THE MIRROR) IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!! The song started, and
then you hear Howard go "Yeah!" and he started to play drums
on his control board with his hands - he really seemed very
into it.....
This was the first time it was played as the back-
ground and then Howard said, "Who are these guys - they kick"
So then one of his partners (Fred) says "Dream Theater"....
Howard then replies, "What?! Green Theater?" (i thought it
was funny)...Anyway, Howard says, "Wow, these guys sound
angry...." (another thing i thought was funny)....
His other partner (Robin) then goes "Yeah, these guys
sound pretty good." So Howard then replies, " Wanna hear some
more of it" - and then he started playing the rest of the
Mirror - about 2 minutes of it....when the keyboards came in
though, it went downhill from there.....they all started hacking
on the song (from the keyboard coming in) and in particular
the keyboardist...They basically said that it didn't fit into
the song and stuff like that....the kicker was when Fred said
"tell him to go back to Spandau Ballet" - which was kinda
uncalled for, but funny anyway.....then everything kinda
snowballed from there, to the point where they started saying
they suck and stuff like that, but then again they heard about
2 minutes of the song.....
Then Howard whips out the "Awake" CD and starts playing
little clips of the beginnings of 6:00, CiaW, and IF....then
he says "What - are these guys all instrumental - no vocals?"
Of course he didn't give any of the songs a chance really, but
I don't know - I'll probably call up the station and talk to
one of their interns (Stuttering John, who has his own album
out) and try and see if they can get more of DT in their intros
at the least, maybe even guests when they come around again
later on (I heard someone in DT was a fan of theirs)....
Well anyway, they spent about 5 minutes or so on Dream
Theater, which is unheard of for hearing about a 10 second clip
of their music....I've heard Howard ask who certain bands were
from hearing the clips, but he never spent that much time on
it, let alone break out the CD.....
Even though he started trashing them, I think that it
was VERY cool that DT has debuted in yet another place besides
the metal stations and stuff like that......
Gotta go prepare for tonight's show
at the Manhattan Ctr.,
Later,
Al

Possibly a Pantera sample? I know Mike's a big Pantera fan, and he used
one of their samples in his solo on the last tour.

When I saw the show at Berklee, they didn't play the samples during the
drum solo, but in Buffalo they did. The first guitar riff is a Slayer
tune, can't remember the exact name. They also played the begining of
"only" by Anthrax. It was pretty cool and effective.

I think you're on to something. I do remember that quote quite vividly from

I do remember it being some sort of sports figure though, possibly a former

Well, someone has already postde the set list, so I wont bother doing so
again. Needless to say, the show was amazing, as always. I got an o.k.
spot upstairs next to spot #1, and later moved to sit on the spot
platform itself.
The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun was incredible. Although, I noticed
that Der[rick|ek] was not playing during that one. They also had a bit
of a technical problem just before they started Lifting Shadows off A
Dream, but it was only momentary, and everything else went just fine. No
mis-hits of the sample key or anything. ;-)
The mix was great until I moved to next to the spot, thus placing me right
in front of the uppermost speakers on the right, so now I've got concert-ear
in my right ear.
One thing to note, is that a lot of people have been quoting
Der[rick|ek]'s last name as Sheridan. It is indeed Sheridian. This was
how James introduced him and was verified after the show.
Speaking of after the show, I was surprised with how long James was out
signing stuff for people. It was by far the largest crowd of autograph
hunters I had ever seen for them, which made it somewhat disappointing
for those of us who just wanted to say hi to people we hadn't seen in a
while. The perils of growing popularity I guess. John P. was out for
a tad longer than James, and a friend who went with us gave him (as she
does at every show), and few dozen choloate chip cookies, which of course
doesn't help his gut any, but I didn't see any sign of a gut on him at
all last night, so eitehr others are smokin' some good stuff and not
sharing, or he's rid himself of it. I did get Der[rick|rek]'s autograph,
since I had not seen him before and didn't have it yet. John Myung was
escorted through the crowd and didn't sign anything at all. A few rude
folks started shouting "What about our autographs? We've been waiting
for long enough!" Get a grip people...
Anyway, Der[rick|rek] was very cool. He is very interested in making
this a permanent arrangement, and when I commented on how, while I was
disappointed by Kevin's departure, from what I heard last night, he has
filled in the void more than adequately, he said "Cool, tell the other
guys that!" Which I did (well, except John M. of course...).
Mike made everyone wait, did come out once the crowd was down to about 40
people, signed some stuff, and we chatter with his wife while he did so.
She and Rena have both recently joined another band (3 weeks old). No
name yet, though she did promise to get info on them trickled to the net
once names, tours, etc. get worked out. She actually remembered at least
hearing about us, from all the shows we've been to, including the
infamous Rochester Blizzard Show '93.
Mike finally finished up, and made to run away, spotted us and made his
police escort stop and wait while he chatted. Ender had already given
him a ticket from the show via Vinny (their sound engineer), and made
Ender promise to stop spending the extra cash, since their new tour
manager is now making sure to get tickets from every show for him. He
was bummed that we weren't going show-hopping this year like we did last
tour, but schedules, and show locations jsut aren't allowing it this
year. Maybe when they come back around the East coast next April or May.
So, anyway, any of you folks at the show tonight, if you see Mike or John
P., tell them the guys from DC said "hey!" and that if they play a show
around Christmas on the East coast, they can count on us being there.

Somebody asked why didn't they put the "long version" of the songs
on the music videos on LiT. Well, I would seem to think that they don't
*have* such a thing! Those videos were shot for MTV, so what you see is
what you get. In other words, why would they spend the extra production
costs to make little snippets that they'd otherwise just edit out when MTV
got a hold of it?

Yeah! that was really cool of you to do. I will check this Web Site for the
lates tour info, if I don't get it from Ytsejam first. I have a question
about your ToDo list at the end of that Web page. I don't think that you
need to put the album covers there, YOURSELF. Just put a link to the
american.recordings page that is also on the WWW. I think that what you're
trying to do is overkill.
I would love it though if you could just keep those fans in the southeast
informed about when the tour is coming around here. A few other friends and
I (WE ARE REAL DREAM THEATER HEADS :)) can't wait for them to come to either
Georgia or Florida. Since we are now in North Florida (Tally), I would go to
Georgia to see them in the early leg. Well, thanks for the information.
COOL WEB, MAN!

Hi all, I'm new around here... I saw Dream Theater at Berklee in Boston last
week, it was incredible! I also got to meet them! (Talk about psyched)
They're really nice.. very cool guys. They were pretty much doing everything
without the new keyboard guy (Derek?). He came out to the meet 'n greet before
the rest of the band, and the rest of the band came out a little while
afterwards. They signed autographs and then got the pictures with us..
definitely VERY cool! Let me know if anyone else out there has been able to
meet them!

I don't know what to say. last night was unreal. yes, i am deaf now, but
i have to say that it was worth it. last night was the fourth time i saw
DT and it was the best by far. i have to admit that i am spoiled though,
of all four times seeing them, i have been front row every time(which isn't
hard to do if you know how to push people)
Anyway, i snuck in a throw-away camera and got 27 shots of the band (all
with flash) i must have been about 3 feet away at the most. the guards
threatened me every time but every time they turned their heads i took another shot.
After the show i got JL's and JP's autographs. they were so nice to everyone.
i am still in a daze. hopefully i will be going to the Manhattan Center tonight to see them again. for anyone who is a DT virgin, DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
Also, JL said that DT would be doing the East Coast again in the late spring
and Summer, so be prepared!

Yep - he came out before anyone else, and was there almost
until the bus pulled away. He seemed anxious to talk to anyone and
everyone - asking names, what they do, etc. Real nice guy, and not a
bad keyboardist either, though he isn't Kevin (well, who is???)

John Myung kinda snuck off the bus after a few minutes and
went around back where I and only a couple other people met him. I
showed him my Ytsejam t-=shirt and he was really impressed, saying
he'd never seen one before and where could he get one. I told him
that 5 were mailed to the record company and that he should ask them
where they went. Then, I had him sign it on the Majest symbol on the
front. In fact, I got all but James to sign it there. If you all go
to meet them aftwerwards, or anything like that, wear your Ytsejam
t-shirts and rty to make sure they notice.
IT was also really cool telling John and Mike that I was the one
asking them the questinos when we did the IRC thing. They both
remembered it and said they thought it was really cool.

Actually, he asked if it's a good song or not - he hadn't
listened to it before. He said he's been concentrating 100% on the
songs they're doing on the tour and hasn't even heard any of the
others. He also said that he'd only heard Pull Me Under when he did
the audition. Some people get all the luck, eh? He seemed to be
really interested in whether we thought his keyboards sounded like
Kevin's. And before anyone else asks him about his hair - he said he
just cut it and that it feels great now that it's short.

yeah. *sigh* Oh, and he had on this really cool Ibanez
jacket. I wish they'd sponsor me. :-)

Yeah, I think he's my favorite member of the band. He is a
really funny guy in person. If you get a chance to talk to him at
some point - do so.

Oh, they did say they'd be back in the area in the Spring or
Summer. This is just a preliminary tour and they'd be doing a
full-blown tour in early '95.
Oh, Jason and I met Kaoru too, which was neat. IThe band was
really impressed to learn that one of their fans from Japan was in the
US and coming to each of hte shows, at least so far. Way to go Kaoru!
I need to get back to work here. I just wanted to add that
she show was fantastic - don't miss it.

Subject: "Scarred" Missing on Tape
Message-ID: <m0r0udH-000uIgC@twisto.eng.hou.compaq.com>
I'd like to counter those people who are complaining about Scarred's
absence from the cassette tape version of Awake. I've only been buying CD's
for about two years now, and I've noticed that many CD's have "Bonus Tracks"
on them. These are typically songs that are not included on the cassette
version of the release.
I used to see this often; way back when CD's were "the new thing".
The record companies did this to sell more CD's (and to sell the consumer on
the concept of Compact Discs). This, in my opinion, was unfair. I didn't
have a CD player, and I couldn't hear the Bonus Tracks.
Nowadays, CD's are the norm. They are not the "new, unaccepted
format" that they used to be. Standards have shifted from the LP & cassette
days. The upper limit on the quantity of music is now set by the CD (about
75 minutes), and if bands choose to use this limit, more power to 'em.
The only reason Scarred was left off the cassette was due to space
constraints. I know that 90+ minute tapes exist, but for some industry
manufacturing reason, they are not used. I think they made the right
decision in excluding that song from the tape. If I were still a cassette-
oriented consumer, I would rather not pay CD price for a double cassette that
has one extra song.
For those of you who are "stuck" with the cassette version, I have
two suggestions:
1. Tape somebody else's CD on a 90 minute cassette and stop
complaining.
2. Consider buying a CD player (thus removing yourself from the
dark ages). This is not the first time cassette buyers have been
shunned, and it definately won't be the last. Believe it or not,
you might not miss the tape hiss when you crank up the volume.
Just my $0.02,
James

Do you mean that kinda rap like beat thing towards the end? I'm not sure
what was being said (something like-Here we're going to get wicked), but
I know that I've heard it before on the end of a song called 'Bring the
Noise' that Anthrax did with Chuck D.

Sorry about the unsub mesg to y'all. I an still going to be on the list but
trying to get it set to the correct address.
Well on other things, I will miss the DT/FW line up by one show. That bumms
me out. I would really like to get a hold of a Fates Warning T-Shirt. If
someone could post what types they see at the Show and the cost, then I would
like to contact someone later on the tour to pick one or more up for me and
send it to me.
Thanks Much,
