    I got this off another mailling list. Maybe someone will find use for
    it. Jack DeJohnette is worth the price of admission alone!

    For the benefit of those in the Philly area, the Michael Brecker Quintet
    (w. Pat Metheny, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and Joey Calderazzo) will
    be
    appearing at TLA (the Theatre of Living Arts) on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
    Early
    show @ 7 PM, late show @ 9:30 PM.

    For all you Deep Purple/Rainbow/Dio fans, check this page out:

    http://www.deep-purple.com/rosas/misc/dp-tree.htm

    It's got a ton of familiar names (Yngwie, Steve Morse, Cozy Powell to
    name a few)

    AACK!!! When will you ever learn?!?! When will the vitriolic attacks on
    people with physical afflictions end? I'm sure right now there is someone
    out in the ytsejam readership that sits reading with a really sore big toe
    wondering what they ever did to you to deserve such cold-hearted treatment.
    What kind of insensitive animal are you that you have to take every
    opportunity avaliable to batter away at someone's sense of self worth?
    Whaddya also kick puppies and steal old lady's walkers too? Someday you too
    may have a sore big toe!!!

    What a travesty of justice! Is there no caring souls on this planet?!? Why
    oh why can't the management get their crap together and get DT into the
    studio? AARRGGGHH. I think that DT should at least record all of the
    tunes, then put them on 3 discs or however many it takes to fit all the
    songs, and sell them to all the people on the jam. We will be the only ones
    with all of the tunes in a set. We should have to pay for them but I know we
    all will. Then, when EastWest decides to release the cd, we'll already have
    it and thensome!
    But back to reality.... What a buncha SH#T!!!!!!

    Number one, PMU's ending has been disgussed often. However, since it is a
    valid question for this digest, the boys ran out of tape before the song
    ended.
         Next, what are the samples in sdv from? What do they mean?
         Last, would some people please pull the ten-foot long and three-mile
    wide sticks out of their asses please and just chill! Opinions are an all

            Aunt Kate said that Julia had wasted away in the choir, instead of using
    her talent and trying to go ahead with a professional singing career. She
    then said, referring to the choir: "...Six o'clock on a christmas morning.
    And all for what?"...
            "Well, isn't it for the honour of God, Aunt Kate?"...
            "I know all about the honour of God, Mary Jane, but I think it's not all
    that honourable for the pope to turn out the women out of the choirs that
    have slaved there all there lives ..."

    The point of the passage is that Julia had wasted her life away in a church
    choir instead of using her talent to do something. This fits perfectly
    with the theme of 6:00, which was based on KM's friend who worked in a
    factory all his life and finally realized too late that he had wasted his
    life and his talent.

    Message-ID: <199702050334.TAA09511@kim.teleport.com>

            ok, here's the plan, so listen up.

            "Cover My Eyes" by Dream Theater (Not Marillion) is a three-minute
    song. This leads me to believe that it is radio-friendly. Since it is by
    Dream Theater, I assume that it kicks ass. With these assumptions, here is
    my marketing strategy.

            June 18: Cover My Eyes the video and single is released to
    television and radio. All the stations will be blown away by the complexity
    of such a short song. It rocks soooo hard and it really turns all the
    grunge-heads' heads.

            June 21: The Cover My Eyes single is released. This single,
    available in every cd store, has three tracks. 1) Cover My Eyes, 2) the
    studio version B-side of "Caught in alice's 9 inch tool garden", 3) the Yes
    medley from Ronnie Scott's. This has something for the DT fan, the metal
    fan, and the prog fan in everyone.

            July 4th: The US celebrates its independence with the release of
    the highly anticipated DOUBLE cd named "" (actually i can't think of that)
    Each cd is over 60 minutes long, but one cd is half Metropolis II (over 30
    minutes)

            July 5th: Dream Theatre is a household name.

            July 6th: people realize it is spelled "Dream Theater"

            By December 31st, 1997: Progressive music rules the world. People
    take up an interest in other prog bands, and instantly Queensryche,
    Marillion, Superior, ad infinitum become the most powerful bands in the
    universe.

            early 1998: DT tours Europe

            late 1998: world peace established.

            later 1998: DT starts recording new cd.

            Ok, you get the point. :)

    I just want to say for the record that the snare sound on Images sucks
    because it is triggered. You can tell because there aren't any accents on
    the snare drum at all. Maybe it was because Mike was still learning how to
    get the right sound out of the snare drum. Or maybe he had uneven sounding
    hits. later, j

    Hi

    I'm back, for the one or two of you who noticed I was gone.

    I went to my 4th concert ever, and the first since November 93, on Monday
    night - KISS! It was absolutely brilliant, etc. etc. etc.

    But what made it even more brilliant was something I saw before the gig. A
    guy walks along, about two rows in front of me, and he's wearing a Dream
    Theater t-shirt! The first physical proof (I don't consider email etc to be
    physical) that someone in Australia has heard of them! Woohoo!

    OK, maybe he just thought the shirt looked cool (the Awake one) but still,
    it was a very nice to see.

    Ah well, I'm back.

    Steve Vai gig next Thursday night! Woohoo!

    .. If anyone out there likes Deep Blue Something, you might also like Fanny
    Grace. I just got in from school (that's right: 2:am!) and the KATT had
    them in the studio. They're from somewhere normal, but came to Oklahoma
    City to play clubs and get their sound straightened out... worth a listen
    but not a thread... The female singer sounds like an icy mix of Tina Turner
    and Bjork. I only mention this because they just put out their 2nd album
    (_Pinch_) a couple of days ago. Go to Blockbuster music and borrow it for a
    few minutes.

    Thanks for everyone who sent info about IRC. I'll try to get that working
    in the next few days so I can play too!

    It is some really good instumental stuff.
    Anyway, he says:
    "We now have a female singer and I play Chapman stick on half of the songs,
    so we have changed quite a lot. We are planning to record our 2nd cd in
    March 1997."

    If you want the cd, called Beyond the Veil BTW, just send him $15 US, and

    I agree that Close my Eyes is probably going to be something like Wait for
    Sleep or The Silent Man, but wouldn't it be cool if it turned out to be so
    short because it's so fast? I mean the guys must be pretty frustrated because
    of the current situation and maybe they were just in the mood for a really
    aggressive thrash song.

    Good grief i hope not , the production's ok but hardly good enough for
    Dream Theater. Anyway i thought Paul Northfield was on board as
    producer or is that only a maybe?

    Kevin Moore finally updated his ChromaKey page. Apparently, he's got 4-5 mixed, and 3 more to go.

    I don't mean to be rude, but it is obvious that during the writing of "Scarred", and LSOAD, that Pertucci didn't stop and say "Hey guys, lets put a TV game show theme in the song". Actually now that i think about it, it does sound more like the "Price is Right" than "Wheel of Fortune".

    Hi all,

    A longtime lurker here. Does anyone here remember Gamma w/Ronnie Montrose? I'm wondering if there were ever any CD releases of the album with "Man On The Ship" on it?

    At the NAMM show last month I noticed that Mike Ps wife seemed to be expecting. I didn't get a chance to ask him as he went backstage just after I saw him.

    Should we have a naming contest???

    Later all,

    Tom
