Message-ID: <199602160615.BAA37163@pilot13.cl.msu.edu>
I just got the tapes from my good friend Jon and they sound pretty good.
Has anyone else noticed the EXTREME amount of low bass in these recordings?
I have a subwoofer hooked in my system and all that is distinguishable from
it is a loud hum whenever Myung plays. I had to re-EQ the entire system
just to play the tape well. No big deal, cause I have a lot of extra presets
on my EQ and receiver, but I just thought that someone might be able to clean
it up a bit.
Later,
Andrew

I know it's virtually impossible to get the first three Echolyn albums. I have the first, but I NEED the second two. If anyone is willing to sell them or tape them for me, I would really appreciate it!

Dixie Dregs are on and off...I saw them last December in San Francisco, and they toured all through '95. There lastest release was "Full Circle" Their new keyboardist Jordann Ruddess (SP?) is incredible. They had the best live show I've seen! -Adam

How many digests do you think it'll take before people stop saying "since this is a new list we should blah blah blah" or "let's not start out the new list by blah blah blah" or "what do you mean WHO is he? he's blah blah blah." I give it ten, maybe fifteen digests. Odds are 4 to 1 against me. (Hold yourself back, Augie.)
I'll definetly make this bet. I'll bet big time on the over. I say 20+ digest until people will shut up about it. But again, I'm the worst gambler of all time. So of course everyone is going to shut up withing the next jam or 2.

Someone asked a few jams back if there were any Extreme fans out there? Well, I used to be a huge Extreme fan. They were my favorite group until I found out about Dream Theater. Since then they've taken a back seat to DT. But I do occassionally listen to them. I'm looking forward for Nuno's solo project. Anything by him should be interesting. A little more news from Extreme. Nuno Bettencourt just got a girl. I don't know the name of it. But he does now have a new baby girl.

Bafu's post about the guy talking about Iron Maiden was hilarious. As a huge comic book fan, it was great to see. The metal wings will weigh him down....HILARIOUS! Anyway, I have WDATU #123 and it is obviously great. I really like the version of Status Seeker, though. I was really impressed with TOWHTSTS as well. Yeah, it is probably the worst quality on the disk, but wow! It seems a lot heavier to me, which I think suits the song well. And I love the way James sings on OAMOT, especially the "When Dream and Day Unite, Tonight" part.
I would love to hear studio versions of these songs with James singing.

First post to the new 'Jam -- cool! :)
I think it's fairly obvious why we're seeing WDADU come out -- DT is just starting to gain some mainstream popularity here in the States, at least enough to make a rerelease a good prospect for the label.
One of the reasons the band has given for not playing the older stuff here is that not enough of the crowd got into the songs (remember, they dropped a WDADU song off the Awake tour for this reason). Now, we have to wonder, with the long-awaited domestic rerelease of WDADU, if they might be more inclined to play something from it -- the crowd might actually get into it more. (I vote for "Killing Hand" myself, a personal fave.)
Well, now we're on an unmoderated list, and Life is Grand. We get to see truly stupid Iron Maiden flame-age, complete with embarassing typos and grammar misuse. We get to see the ever-popular "MAIL ITEM REFORMATTED" warning from some dumb-shit site -- get used to it; looks like we're getting one for each Ytsejam. Did I hear someone mutter something about signal-to-noise ratio? Just keep telling yourselves It's Better This Way. :)
WDATU #152 has FINALLY arrived.....and there was much rejoicing. <yay>

While reading jam 1261, I ran across this quote: >>"A thousand lawyers I have found.." James LaBrie, Perfect Strangers..<<
This song was written by Deep Purple. I've been trying to figure out where this line is in that song and I can't find it.
>>I hope that after a year of excuses he hasn't screwed me over like Jeremy Haynes.<< >Maybe they're not excuses. Maybe they're REASONS.<
There are NO reasons short of death for taking a year to complete a trade. If your recovered enough from an accident to go to the Northeast in the dead of winter to see four DT shows, you're recovered enough to dub some tapes, drop them in an envelope, and mail them.
For any KISS fans out there, I have an unedited (170min) version of KISS unplugged in stereo. If anyone is interested in a copy, please email me personally.

Let's see what Mike says himself in his "European Tour Diary 95" (Thanks for this, Patricia! I enjoyed it!):
DATE: Tuesday Feb.14th, 1995 CITY: Utrecht, Holland
.."After the show, me, Marlene, Derek & the Fates Gang walk around visiting and sampling the local 'Coffee' shops. Damn!-I love this country!!!" (For those who don't know, these are bars where you can legally buy and consume marijuana, and I love this country too! Greetings to all the jammers from the netherlands!)
(And the next day): "Wake up real foggy from last night's activities. Get up and do some interviews at the hotel..."
DATE: Feb. 16th, 1995 CITY: Copenhagen, Denmark (Day off)
.."Me and Ho (I think that's Mike drumtech) hang with them (Pro-Pain) & their crew for a few hours after the show. We hook up with Derek & pop by a local strip joint for a beer. Go grap a bite to eat with a fan we met & then finally back to the hotel to retire."
So, you political correct people, don't buy any DT and FW (and Pro-Pain) stuff anymore! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tilman Kuendgen --- tiku@rz.uni-sb.de ...half human, half mail... Traders! Check out my music list at: http://stud.uni-sb.de/~tiku

I thought that you would all like to know that it has now been a decade since I started being good for Santa Claus. How many Optimus Primes have I received in that decade-NONE from him.
