RE: Mirrors
Rush's Mirrors is like the second boot I ever bought, and it is a
very good recording. Like one of the best I've heard. It's definitely
an A- boot. So if you see it, buy it. It was one of the last boots I ever
bought from an actual record store in Boston.

I think that about sums up the thoughts of everyone reading the
jam right now (or passing over this message for lack of content) feels
exactly the same way about this particular show, man. I know I do.
That would be an experience and a half.
Anyone out there know when Savatage is coming to America for their full
fledged American Leg? I wanna see em again!!!!! I'm figuring late this
summer (July/August), but what do I know?
Oh, and Eckie, I think they'd take you at MTV if you applied for
Road Rules, or Real World, after all, they's just looking for weird
psycho folks to create conflict anyway. :-) The killing would be good
for ratings, right? They'd make a...um...killing off it!

Message-ID: <047690507000f48UPIMSSMTPUSR01@email.msn.com>
1) Manchester Gig
Following Choon-Kang's format
Hall: The gig took place in the main hall of the student Union.
The stage is not huge and the capacity of the hall is
only around 1000. I asked the guys on the door for an
estimate of how many tickets had been sold, but they
didn't know. I'd guess that there were 8-900 people there.
Sound: No the greatest acoustics. The band sound fine, but
James's vocals got a bit lost in the mix methinks.
Light: Tiny stage, so only 1 row of lights and about 4 main
spots on either side of the stage.
Crowd: Despite a small contingent who were more interested in
going back and forth to the bar, the crowd were very
receptive and attentive. The Images and Words material
received the best response.
The setlist was entitled 'Manchester set 2' and was prepared in
some word processor rather than being written out. It differs from
Choon-Kang's setlist 2 in that they made a few omissions, namely
Anna Lee (not missed), ACOS IV and New Millennium (Aaargghhh! - I
really wanted to see John M on the stick again).
It also listed 'Hollow Years (2nd kit)', but since there wasn't
room to swing a cat onstage, the 2nd kit didn't get used.
After the extract of 'Freebird' at the end of 'Take the Time',
DT swung into a medley of covers, most of which sounded familiar
but none of which I was able to scribble down at the time, so I'm
grateful for Adrian for filling us in there.
So it went:
· ACOS I & II
· Just Let Me Breathe
· -------
· Burning My Soul
· Take The Time / Freebird
· Assorted covers (YYZ, hot for Teacher etc.)
· Hollow Years (No 2nd kit)
· (piano solo - down stage)
· Crack / Puppies
· Lie
· -------
· Peruvian Skies
· (guitar solo)
· Pull Me Under
· Ytse Jam (drum solo)
· Trial Of Tears
· -------
· medley:
· Metropolis
- Nicky Lemons
· Learning To Live
· ACOS VII Sunset
The crowd seemed a bit taken aback when Mike announced 'Nicky
Lemons', but they applauded them afterwards. Personally I could
have done without them.
Rudess and Morgenstein were hanging round in the foyer after the
gig to sign copies of their CDs (for which there were a few takers).
No copies of LTE on sale though - bummer!
2) Nottingham Gig (or absence of it)
That's a real shame. Nottingham is one of the last few hotbeds of metal
in the UK and I'm sure the guys would have had a great response from
the crowd with or without James. Its a real shame that the venue
wouldn't
let them go ahead with the Instrumental gig - I'm sure it wouldn't
have been
completely vocal-free - Mike could have sung a few things and Derek
could have helped out :-))
3) Press Coverage.
Hey Graham (Borland)! How many interviews did the guys do? How did our
letter (or email) campaign go? The response I got to my email from Metal
Hammer wasn't promising!
Here's hoping that James's voice is back to its best for the gig in
Bourges!

Definitely a minority, so I shall get loud for a moment and say here's one more lurking in
the shadows.... satisfied to be entertained... and boy have the last couple years been
entertaining. :)
Hope to meet some of you folks in Dallas!

I realize this is Mike Bahr's domain, as far as Imports go, but I just hooked up with the mailing list and wanted to put some feelers out for a few DT releases from Xanadu Records: 1) A Sort Of Homecoming - 2CD-R set from New Haven, CT 10/25/97 2) Falling Into Obscurity - 1CD-R of outtakes/demos
Most of my releases have been of Queensryche and Yes, but recently went into the DT arena as well. Just thought I'd make everyone aware. My homepage is at: http://idt.net/~rsch1/index.html
For references on my service, feel free to ask around the Queensryche NG, almost all of them know who I am, and most have bought from me.
Thanks, John DiBella President/Xanadu Records http://idt.net/~rsch1/index.html

Hey Jammers-- Just wondering if anybody else has noticed how the keyboard line at the beginning of SX's Through the Looking Glass sounds like a carbon copy of the beginning of Surrounded. If it's been brought up here before, forgive me.

So I went to the DT concert in November and shelled out $25 for my cool tour shirt. Then I on my way beck from winter break Amtrack decided to lose a ton of my shit, including my DT shirt. So now I look at the official site and see that both the shirt I bought and the shirt I really wanted (John Petrucci was wearing it backstage) are for sale (at MUCH cheaper prices). So here is my question (and if you could, please email me with your answers...) has anyone bought stuff from the website (Dream Theater International Fan Club (Ytse Jams, INC))? And if so, what is the turn around time on it? Thanks alot.
