    Sorry to post on the same subject twice, BUT . . .

    You are incorrect. The films you mention are available to watch in cinemas in
    the UK. They have not been released on video or shown on TV . . . I think
    that's probably because they wanted to be extra-sure that no under-18s
    would get to see them.

    > It's unabashed censorship, but that's legal in the U.K.

    Well, I'm not going to mention a certain government which tried to ban
    free speech on the internet . . . and remember, you aren't
    allowed to criticise a country of which you are not a citizen (according to
    Scott Cook).

    Yeah, you're probably right there. But FNM has always been, in large part,
    about having a sense of humor. "Midnight Cowboy," I think, fits there...

    See above. This is probably the best of his solo stuff, as far as I've

    It's a boot. Taken from Madison Square Garden on the Counterparts tour.
    It's basically a good audience recording, not well-regarded by most Rush
    boot experts, really (I'm not one, to be honest). I'm fond of it,
    though....the set's to my liking as much as anything.

    I can't really agree there. I'm a musician and not a druggie, but I don't
    think that the proportion of drugs in the musical world really resembles the
    rest of the world. I mean, they're high profile, but so are athletes. And
    we can talk about Michael Irvin and Les Bias and Willie Wilson until the
    cows come home, but if we become aware of the drug use of an athlete, it's a
    big deal, a surprise. It's only an issue with musicians if it keeps them in
    rehab forever. Drugs are only really discussed with reference to those
    people for whom it was a big issue....Jerry Garcia, Layne Staley, Kurt
    Cobain, Jimi Hendrix. The occasional binge drinking and pot smoking of
    other musicians is a relative non-issue. Not that athletes are a
    representative issue, either. But I don't think the issue is publicized for
    no reason.

    Well I figured the rest of you Ytsejammer guitarists might want to hear
    about this. There are two sessions, one in LA the other in Boston. I fear
    it's probably too late to get into the LA one, since they start July 21 and
    go until July 27. The Boston registration deadline is July 31 and the
    program starts August 18 and goes until the 23. I know that JP will be doing
    a clinic/concert at the Boston session, and if I remember correctly another
    person appearing will be John Whitfield(?), I'm not familier with this
    player and am only going by what the guy told me. For more info you can call...

    617-266-1400 or write to...

    Berklee College of Music
    Berlkee Summer Guitar Sessions
    in Boston
    1140 Boylston Street, Mailbox 23
    Boston, Massachusetts 02215-3693

    Each days schedule also includes the usual Berklee classes and experience
    with players. You can stay at the dorms or drive in every day. You have
    until July 31st to register for the Boston sessions. Tuition is $425 and is
    you want to house there it's another $200, this is actually a pretty good
    rate as it includes meals for the whole week! I got all this info from the
    registration form they sent me. I hope some of you guys will take the
    opportunity and also give me some fello DT fans to jam with and have a good
    time!

    This idea was started and stopped quickly a few months ago. I guess it was
    kind of my fault because I didn't want to take over responsibility for it
    after a certain wally llama had to go somewhere...but I would have
    undoubtedly screwed it up, so maybe it's better. I'm still willing to drum
    for something, but I don't know the chances of me getting to a studio
    outside of Las Vegas....maybe if you made it close to here. ;)

    >i have gotten almost caught up on these blanks trades, but i

    Well, if you DO feel that way, either make sure people know that they don't
    have high priority when you trade (for blanks) with them, or don't do it.

    That song sucks live. It's Rob's voice. It sounds completely different in

    around like a maniac and hearing this wimpy little yell. <giggle>

    Message-ID: <31EEDCEF.728F@umbc.edu>

    Hello Jammers,

    Someone listed info on a prog concert in Louisville, from what I could
    decipher from Shawn (guitar- Boud Deun) at Progscape, this is going to be
    an RIO/jazz prog type concert, should be pretty cool. I've heard from a
    couple of sources that French TV is excellent (though I haven't heard any
    of their music), and Boud Deun is one of my favorite bands, they have
    technical ability and the jamming and improvisation strength to bring
    almost any band to their knees. Boud Deun is an all instrumental band
    consisting of Rocky (drums), Shawn (guitar), Matt (bass), and Greg
    (violin). They sound similar to a heavy version of Mahavishnu Orchestra
    with influences of King Crimson, Yes, Mr. Bungle, Dead Kennedies, The
    Muffins, Phish, and several other bands. Prepare for musical overload,
    their bass player Matt will make your jaw hit the floor.

    Later,

    Mike

    Greetings, jammers!

    I saw Metallica on the Lollapalooza tour on Tuesday. They were incredible!
    Fade to Black ripped me a new asshole! They didn't play a lot of new stuff,
    which I appreciated at the time, but in retrospect i think it was a mistake.
    I was hoping to get into the new stuff by seeing how it comes across live,
    but the only songs they played from Load were Ain't my Bitch <which is a
    great song anyway>, Until it Sleeps <which I like but it isn't exciting live>
    and maybe two more. Lotsa fireworks--COOL! Highlights? Well, when they
    finished One, James walks up to the mic and says, "Well, that kicked some ass,
    didn't it?" And when Lars, after the third time they were called back, says,
    "Hey, Metallica just headlined Lollapalooza...HA HA HA HA HA HA!" I was
    thouroughly unimpressed with Soundgarden. Their lack of stage presence and
    Chris Cornell's general ignorance of the audience in the venue that made them
    faamous was only slightly less offputting than when the bass player started
    cussing off the audience for no apparent reason at all. I think Soundgarden
    needs to realize that without Lollapalooza they may not be as famous as they
    are. The drummer was really good, though.

    Hey, Metallica headlines Lollapalooza this summer. Maybe that will open some
    doors <and hopefully some MINDS> and we may see a Dream Theater Lollapalooza.
    Who knows? :)

    Hey,
      Jams have slowed down. Haven't received one yet today. But I did
    get SFAM (#229) yesterday. CIAW blew me away! The first time you hear
    this arrangement is quite a shock. I was thinking before I played it
    and was reading the song titles 'another source for the same old
    song'-what a surprise. The effect is not the same the second time you
    hear it because you're expecting it now. The first listen to Oliver's
    Twist was the opposite. All I heard was the same song without vocals.
    But the second time I heard something else I didn't hear the first
    time but have heard many times before. I'm being evasive because for
    the rest of the jammers who haven't yet heard theirs I won't kill the
    surprise. As published, Charlie's live performance is less than
    impressive, but the band is great as expected. Now, as far as ACOS
    goes, this too is a surprise for me. This is the first recording of
    the original way it was done for me, even though no Labrie. There are
    parts of this version I don't understand why they changed it. Before
    the studio release, all I had was a dub of Subconcious version. My
    opinion on that is simply I don't like it. I know that's sacrilege
    but that's my opinion. So now I can appreciate the early original way
    it was done. I miss the intro but can take or leave the studio
    outtro. I always felt they should have faded up the outtro guitar
    from the loud explosive part at the end and not just abruptly bring
    in the guitar at one level. Also I now have a clear copy of Eve but I
    miss the story about the cow :> All in all a very good CD. This makes
    for me 4 boots on CD-3 from Mike, 1 from Marcel. This has been wordy
    enough so I'll stop boring you.

    Got my Critical Mass in today. The last couple of days have been kinda
    shitty for me so this was a pleasant surprise. I must admit the sound
    quality is absolutely incredible! I had heard rumors that this came off
    a VHS tape; well, I'm not a very good judge of sources, but I can't
    tell any tape noise at all. So if it did then Mike did an incredible
    mastering job. Is the sound quality better than A Show of Hands? I
    don't think it ia. BUT, Rush has money for one gazillion track
    recorders and state of the art mixers, and Mike has access to some cool
    equipment, but nothing to compare with what rush has access to.

    Bottom Line: This is the best cd that Mike Bahr has released to date
    (and I don't pass out compliments that easily) and if you're a Rush
    fan, then this is a definite Must have. Don't walk, RUN to the mailbox
    with a money order and send for Critical Mass, you won't be
    disappointed.

    Sorry for the NDTC Zimbob!

    >(when he takes the word "name" up one octave from the usual).

    Dork. I have to strain to hit an octave lower than that. :-) Of course, my
    voice is prolly alot lower than yours naturally.

          Just thought some of you might want to know this. The Smashing
    Pumpkins have fired Mr. Chamberlain the drummer. The band said that they
    were tired of always dealing with his addictions to drugs and alcohol. They
    wish him the best, and are currently looking for a replacement.
          Finally, someone with some sense in the music business. People have to
    realize that drugs and booze are not the same. If you are shooting up
    Heroine, or snorting cocaine you have one thing in mind; Getting high. One
    can sit down and enjoy a beer, or glass of wine without the purpose of
    getting drunk. I don't like SP, but I know have a new found respect for them
    as individuals. Why let someone drag down their careers?
