I was watching, "Where are they now." They were doing a little
thing on "Winger" and after talking about the old Kipster and his living
in the valley somewhere, they showed Rod Morgenstein! They showed how
he teaches at Berkely and the Rudess/Morgenstein Cd! That just kicked
ass to see. They even showed an excerpt from the jam session video
those two did. I forget where the video is from, my friend owns it,
not me :) But, it was the same movie, nonetheless.
How about that, DT actually gets mentioned here in the states on VH-1!
Well, one member at least :)

"Anyone"? Oh, you mean FAQ Slacker Extraorinaire, Pat Griffin. According
to the version that's on the Official DT page, it was last updated "12
July 1998". Hmmm.... a lot has happened and a lot of questions have been
asked since then, eh? Yeah, I thought so. Here's an idea... everyone email
Pat at:
and pester him to GET OFF HIS LAZY FUCKING ASS and update the FAQ. Sounds
like an idea? Or maybe someone more capable should just assume themselves
as the New FAQ Maintainer? Any volunteers?
Oh, hi Pat. Do you still read this thing?

I believe it's Shinko Music. It's the company that produces these books,
but I'm not sure they sell it overseas. They even got a web site:

Hope this helps...

Hi all,
on Vinnie Moore's 'Time odyssey' album, Jordan spells his last name with only
ONE s (i.e., 'Jordan Rudes - Keyboards'). Is this just a typo or did he change
the spelling after this album? I know I would be angry if my name was
misspelled on an album I was playing on...

Subject: A (belated) review of the Philly show
Message-ID: <001701be47c2$59f7eb80$02ce7ad1@artoo-detoo>
And now for a review of one of the three best live shows I've ever seen:
Setting: the Theater of Living Arts in center-city Philadelphia.
The doors opened (late) at about 8:15 and we walked in and were surprised to
find that they had set up chairs for us to sit in. I had gotten to the TLA
at about 7:15, so I was able to sit in the second row in front of the left
side of the stage (as you're facing it) closest to Jordan and Tony (which is
exactly where I wanted to be). Syrinx sat in front of me.
Jordan came on at about 9:30 and started playing "Osmosis", and Tony entered
in shortly thereafter, picked up his chapman stick, and joined in the duet.
They played together for a minute before John and then Mike entered in and
added some soft touches of their own to the piece. And then BANG!!!!!
Suddenly they broke into "Paradigm Shift" in all its glory! "Paradigm
Shift" included some fantastic additions to its original form; it was better
than on the album. They finished and we jumped up from our sitting
positions to wildly applaud their performance (we all sat through the entire
show, air drumming and shaking our heads, and we stood to applaud each
piece). Mike stood at his mic behind his kit (a smaller kit than his usual
touring kit, but still a fair size) and thanked us for coming, etc. He told
us that the show would consist of songs from both the first album and the
new album, and then suggested that we would know the next piece.
We cheered as they broke into "Kindred Spirits", which, once again, had some
cool additions to it--Jordan repeated the end part that he does using a
piano setting, before going back and doing it for a third time on the
regular synth setting which then took them to the finale. John introduced
Jordan, and informed the three or four people present who DIDN'T know that
Jordan had joined Dream Theater. Jordan was given many great cheers and
shouts of approval ...even before John could get the words out of his mouth.
[Someone else mentioned that Mike introduced Jordan at the Philly show and
made a comment about platform shoes. I have no doubts that it was John who
introduced Jordan as a new member of DT--and I must confess that I totally
missed the comment about the platform shoes.]
They then played a new tune called "Another Dimension" which was really
cool--a very heavy track that really kicked. After that, Mike and Tony took
a break while John and Jordan played their duet, "State of Grace". Mike and
Tony returned as Jordan started into "Freedom of Speech". I'm quite sure
the doctored up FoS as well, but I don't remember what the additions were.
Jordan then went to his mic and introduced the next new piece entitled
(something to the effect of) "By Accident" which kicked ass--it was a tune
along the lines of "Universal Mind" in that it had several different parts
to it, one of which was sort of Spanish sounding.
At the end of this song, Jordan and John took a break, and Mike and Tony did
a duet that totally blew my mind. Tony played his stick for the entire
show, and had several spots during the show when the spotlight
(metaphorically speaking) was on him and he kicked. But none of this
compared to the jam he and Mike did--partly planned, it seemed, but
definitely partly improvised--the interplay between the two of them was
soooooooo cool. Mike played with plastic tubes instead of drum sticks. In
any case, the jam eventually evolved into "Chris and Kevin's Excellent
Adventure" w/o the wistles and whatnot. Jordan and John returned to the
stage and CaKEA evolved into a bizarre jam. It began by Tony doing this
weird distortion stuff on his stick, which John mimmicked with his guitar,
all while Mike continued his banging, now with regular sticks. Jordan just
provided background sound. Eventually it became a jam more along the lines
of 3Min Warning, but I'd say it only lasted about five minutes, and then
suddenly BLAM, they (on some signal from Mike) were suddenly playing
"Universal Mind". They went through and it seemed like there would be no
extra parts put into the song--and then they got to Jordan's key solo (at
3:46 on the album) and everyone else left the stage. His piano solo went
for a bit, and then he broke into Rudess Morgenstein Project material.
Unaccompanied. I think most of what he took was from the last track, "Over
the Edge". We just sat there (yet again) with our mouths hanging open. He
finished his RMP bit and then returned to the piano solo, at which the other
guys came back, and at the appropriate point Tony broke into his bass solo,
and the song continued as usual. Phenominal!
They ended there, but of course came out for an encore, which Mike said they
saved for last because it was too tiring to play anywhere but at the end of
the show. Can you say 'speed'? The name of the piece was "Acid Rain". It
was, for me, a bit too much because when you play something like that live
all the sounds just eventually mix together and it becomes noise--I think it
will absolutely kick ass on the album though.
I tell you, it may have been the best show I've ever seen. Jordan?
Fantastic live; and he definitely does have a cool stage presence, as he
really gets into his playing. Tony blew my mind. And Mike and John were
their usual fantastic selves. Unbelievable show.
Tony was funny, in that he took a few pictures of US between songs.
And that's my review of the evening. I'll be really looking forward to
Jordan's playing live w/ DT.
