I just thought I'd respond to some of the people griping about the El 'N'
Gee. Yes, it did suck that the doors opened late and therefore the
concert was shorter than it should have been. The reason I heard was
that they were having technical difficulties during sound check. Rather
than waiting out in the cold, I simply went one street over to another
bar and had a drink.
As for them being booted off the stage at 1am, it was NOT the club
owners. I have met Scott McGruder, the owner, and he is quite
cool. It was the police that did it. Did you happen to notice them
SWARMING around both inside and out as we left?? Connecticut has some
pretty lame laws, one of them being that bars must close at 1am on
weeknights! So when the cops come and say it's 1am, everyone gets booted.

I saw someone post a few jams ago about the medley

that they could not identify, was "Killers" from
Iron Maiden. I hadn't ever heard them play a

Just a coupla points to make about the Birch Hill show.
1.) WAY too crowded, but really no moshing, except for 2 or 3
drunk people throughout the night - quite impressive.
2.) Apologies to everyone who was kicked out of the Fantazia -
if I had taken Heather's advice, it wouldn't have
happened, but I had no idea the manager was to be a prick.
Their diner will be bombed shortly :)
3.) WHOEVER THE BLOND WOMAN WHO ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME BEHIND THE
FANTAZIA DINER WAS, AND WHO GOT STUCK AND HAD TO BE PUSHED
OUT, E-MAIL ME, I THINK I'M IN LOVE! :)
sorry, had to throw that in there....
4.) The show was phenomenal - the best of the 6 or 7 that I
have been to. nothing else I can say, still speechless.
5.) Kudos to Rudess and Morgenstein, who were both excellent....
6.) Thanks to my drunk friend John, who made me wait for him in
a side room while he got a girl's #. While I waited in the
room, I see Derek and a shitload of 'Jammers with
aftershow passes around. I was backstage without any
passes, money, or anything (except my ACoS liners)
7.) HELLO to everyone that I had met at the show and beforehand :
Trey, Fred, M. Bahr, Bafu, Paul, Buck (Mr. Serious) :P, Skadz,
Digital, Brian Cox, Jay Peele, Jason Hartman , Elliot Kim,
Hairball, and everyone else..
Damn there were so many of you!!!!!!
Everyone was very cool........felt good to be a 'Jammer.....

Well, the pilgrimage is over -- I successfully attended all four Dream Theater
holiday shows. Basically took a week and drove from Boston -> CT -> NY -> NJ
-> CT -> Boston.
Great shows with very diversified set lists (which was a surprise, as they
usually play the same sets, ala the Japan shows!). All four shows SOLD OUT.
Every club was packed to the hilt, and even oversold in terms of tickets.
All in all, a killer set of shows. All four shows were bootlegged, so live
tapes should be circulating soon.
I'm very sorry that the only snag in my plans were that I missed the YtseCon
II event!! 8^( I *really* wanted to meet some of y'all (Mike Bahr, Bafu,
etc.). I am glad I ran into some of you in NJ -- Jay Peele (great tape!),
Al Balkewicz, Brian Wherry, John Mastin, etc. Saw the Chew's from afar at
the Malibu, and Mike Bahr from afar at Birch Hill -- hope to meet you more
formally in the future.

To those who met me at the show on Friday, you will notice something.
This is a forward. A I had mentioned before all my posts are forwarded
because my address cannot appear with the 'Jam's address in the same
header. Can you belive that shit, you try to pick a cool fucking address
(can't get much cooler than YTSEJAM) and this shit happens. Well just
looks like I am going to have to work harder.
People I met (all cool) included-- Mike Bahr, Hairball, then two guys you
know who you are who I can't remember there names. I suck with names too
because this people where cool and I can't remember there names.
What seems fun to me is that everybody is on _MY_ Mercy Fuck bandwagon.
I just remember post after post condemming mine praising that lyric. But
hey it belongs in the song and James know's it.
Puppies on Acid-TTT was awesome, Scarred minus one lyrical flaw (can you
guess it?) was amazing, Bad was cool, fuck the whole show was cool. I
just needed Metropolis and I would have been set.
Well hey looks like Because I met all you its time to post a shit load.
HAve a happy drunk New YEAR.

This message is primarily for Marc Respass but applies to
anyone that wants to begin playing drums.
Marc, patience will be one of the primary building blocks while
you pursue drumming. When you first sat down with your bass; I'm
sure you were not able to copy the bass riffs of Billy Sheehan or
another "Bass god". Try not to get frustrated when beginning to
play the drums; you are not going to duplicate Mike Portnoy. I have
been playing drums for 15 years and I have seen MANY self-proclaimed
"drummers" who could not think about playing a DT or Rush cover.
We can take this conversation OFF-LINE to list a detailed beginner's
drum kit. Feel free to E-mail me directly.

Message-ID: <Pine.3.07.9601020954.B6211-c100000@achilles.bbn.com>
Hi All, just got back to work, and wanted to write my bit about the 2 CT
shows:
Dec. 27th: We originally got there at 5:50, and they were still unloading
the truck...So we then went to get some food (was it me, or is there
NOTHING in new london?)... got back to the El N Gee at about 6:50, where
we began our frigid wait until 10 or so when they finally opened the doors!
The owner of the place and the tour manager came out yelling at each
other a few times, from what I could gather (being near the front) the
owner and the tour manager were fighting about the length of time for the
soundcheck or something along those lines... I know at one point I heard
from the tour manager "Right now I have an unhappy band, and if the band's
not happy I'm not happy..." Well, once we got in DT played incredibly,
albeit short, hilights were definitely ACOS, and voices, and Damage Inc (I
was psyched to finally hear this!).. I think I could feel my feet by the
time I left, though!
good: ACOS, Voices, Damage Inc/medley, everything else they played!
bad: the wait, the tall people who kept blocking my view! (Damn them!
Damn them all!), the stupid 1am curfew on weeknights in CT, the sound (did
anyone else think the sound wasn't that good this night?
Dec 30th: Much less of a wait! We got in around 8:30, but then had to wait
until 10:30 for DT to come on (at least it was warm!)... once they finally
came on, they rocked! The sound was way better than the wed. show, it was
cranked! They played Scarred! It had a cool instrumental intro thing that
led into it too... too bad it got over at 12:30!
The good: Everything they played completely rocked... the sound was loud
*and* clear! (except for the couple times James' microphone dropped out
on him - looked like he was getting mad too)... some cool DT fanatic named
Chris that I met- another proud owner of the JPM100! Being like 5 feet
from JP! (he's a god!.. they're all gods!)
the bad: the wait (ok, I'm an impatient DT fan! :), the shitheads that
were trying to cut in front of my JP gawking spot!
the weird: the random kid who suddenly passed out behind us (and he was
sober!), the blonde dude who decided he wanted to crowd surf using someone
else as a ladder, and subsequently got dropped on his head...
The funny: How whenever one of the band member takes a solo spot, the
entire crowd suddenly stops and stares!

Hey all. Guess what I heard on the radio today? None other than
"Innocence Faded." Actually, it was only part of it, and it was in the
background during the Steve and D.C. morning show (no.1 in St. Louis!:), but
the simple fact that I heard DT on the radio (especially around here) was
cool enough. It was on this same show a few weeks ago that I heard
Savatage's "Christmas Eve..." thing (that time, they even said who it was
playing the song :). Evidently someone there must be into some good prog
stuff. Too bad it doesn't "fit into the format" of the station (top 40
alternative/rap/pop/crap). Oh well, as long as they can get some of it on,
that'll do for now, I guess.
Hey, with all thgis talk about the shows and the Ytsecon thing, I
say some of us in the midwest get together whenever DT comes around this
region of the country next time. I know of plenty of fans here, and I would
totally dig it if I could meet some of you all. All this talk about the
stuff has got me pumped for the next show nearby (closer than a thousand
miles away). I'll se you all there!!! Happy New Year. God bless.

Dammit! Now I'm going to think of that everytime I hear AW. :-)
I have a question:
I used to have this really crappy Walkman (before I ever heard of
DT) and I constantly listened to Metallica's "Metallica" on it cuz that was
the only tape I had. Then I got a new Walkman, and new guitar parts were
audible, as well as sound effects, stuff like that. Do some Walkmans just
not pick up all the data? Or was I being deaf for 6 months?

Why have the same production through the whole album? Why not change from
song to song? i.e.,(IMO) most of the songs on I&W would sound somewhat
better with, for instance with the "live" drum sounds used on Awake, but
IMOA, LtL really needs the-to quote someone (forgot who!)- "wrath of Zeus
snare trigger". Why not have different production from song to song? YOu
might say that it would be impossible to recreate live, but if I am correct,
live doesn't sound the same as the album anyways. Just a thought...

I was really pissed when DT closed with that song. I don't even know why
in the world they even played that damn song. It's not like it's their
song, it's Deep Purple's. At less Dream Theater has some plan that we
haven't seen and is going to release that song as a single, it was one poor
song to close with.

Message-ID: <n1391516968.58803@macsmtp>
Well, maybe it is the devil in me, but my curiosity over the new censorship on
the YTSEJAM has really gotten the best of me. To satisfy my curiosity (and
doubtless that of others), I have crafted the following test message to see
what makes it past our censor. Here goes (note: my original post was 6 parts,
in case the whole thing gets deep sixed).
1) Shamelessly Kissing Moderator's ass:
Ken Bibb is the greatest !! He oversees the best list on the planet. Ken
rules !!
2) Dream Theater gushing:
Dream Theater is the greatest !! What a great band they are to play a few
dates over the holidays to their best fans. They really seemed tight in their
performance after a layoff, too.
3) Dream Theater Member comment:
James really stepped it up during this last mini tour. His vocals seemed to
be on (even though they did get a bit lost in the mix) and he really showed
some emotion and had a really cool stage presence. This lack of emotion had
kind of dogged him in the past, but he was really into things last week.
