As part of a massive mind-control operation orchestrated by Mike Portnoy,
several of the Ytsejam old-timers have resubscribed in recent weeks. I felt
the Quickening as did the others. It's a subconscious thing. We are powerless

Very ethereal, and nothing like the classical solo she did onstage. Like she
said when she signed it, "It's music to smoke pot to." I found out AFTER the
concession stand had closed that she also plays on the Star People cd, even
though she isn't pictured on the back with the rest of the band.
And my arm still hurts from when you twisted it. Did you learn that move from
Jake "The Snake" Roberts??

My first DT show since the first leg of the FII tour. Some thoughts:
- Holy crap! There were a shitload of people there! Very
cool....unfortunately my douchebag friend got to my house late, so I wound
up missing everything up to Cruise Control by the Dregs. At least I
didn't have to wait in line that long......
- My friend got a photo pass for the show, and he took about 100 or so
shots during the beginning of the show. Once he gets them done, I'll post
the link up to everyone here, along with a review of the show.....
- I'm sorry I missed everyone from the 'Jam. I was lucky enough to bump
into YtseJim though, so my streak of meeting Jammers at every show I've
been to is still running strong..... I wound up watching DT at soundboard
level along the left-hand side. Not bad at all. I'm kinda short, so the
goddamn tree-people who always wind up in front of me kinda made it suck
every once in a while, but I was able to move around and see everything.
Plus, it gave my calves a good workout.
- The sound was phenomal - best for a show that I've seen. Everyone,
including James, was dead-on-balls accurate. Killer killer show.
- Rumors were flying that Chris Jericho (WWF Intercontinental Champion)
was going to be at the show (he mentioned it on his website as well).
YtseJim told me he was at the bar, and I missed him by minutes. Anyway,
I'm watching DT, and my friend goes, "Hey, I think that's Jericho up
there". Sure enough, in the balcony on the left-hand side, Y2J himself
goin' absolutely apeshit on the airdrums throughout the entire show (and
not a bad job either!). Very very cool to see a pretty famous person
enjoying the show, clapping along with the band, looking over to see the
crowd reaction to the show.......
That's basically it. I wish I was able to meet more of the Jammers (I was
lookin' for ya, D-man)......next time, I'll try and get all the people
coming with me to get their own damn tix!
Later,
Al

Dude, the Dregs ROCK!! The closest thing I've ever heard to any of their
music is Steve Morse's version of "Joy to the World" on Merry Axemas vol.
1. That "The Bash" song was fuckin' cool! And "Cruise Control" at the end
was absolutely amazing. During "The Bash," there were these two pretty
boy wooses in front of me looking at each other like "how queer is it
that they're playing bluegrass." (now, that really gets me, let's go to a
prog metal show and completely dis the opening band's musicianship) I
loved it - I could have watched the Dregs all night. I'd drive six hours
again to see them play in a heartbeat.
> -Banjoman wonders if there could possibly be ANOTHER bluegrass fan
on
> this list =^)
I like instrumental bluegrass. I can't take that nasal singing, though.
I must echo previous posters: both Steve Morse's personality and
musicianship on stage were amazing. Great guitarist and very humble and
appreciative of the fans and DT. I got to meet Rod Morgenstein out back
after the show; he, too was a very, very likable guy. The first thing he
did was shake everybody's hand and take pics with everybody.
The only bad thing about their set, which was an extremely minor thing,
was the two boobs manning the spotlights. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder
could have done a better job. (oh, gee, let's take the spotlight off
somebody just as they being their solo - duh!) But the band more than
made up for it.

Yes, definitely. Whereas they are reduced to mindlessly bobbing along
with cheap, perfunctory music with little or no musical structural
integrity, we fans of Dream Theater not only have the mental capacity to
comprehend and appreciate a complex, grandiose piece of music in its
entirety, but also to break down that composition and scrutinize every
minute detail with exacting precision in order to realize an even greater
appreciation for it.

Rotating torsoes? That was about the only redeeming quality of the Star
People's stage show. There music was ok; the violin player chick was
pretty good (and she was hot, too!) I don't know whose hand was rubbing
against my butt the whole night, but I'm allowing myself to believe it
was hers. :-)

HAHA! You wanna talk about a backache? I'm 6'5" tall and rode 6 hours in
a Subaru Loyale (pint-sized 4-wheel drive rust bucket), parked right
behind the venue, then my dad says "Hey, let's walk to Grand Central
Station and see the newly refurbished ceiling." What he didn't bother to
tell me was that it was 30 blocks round trip - (that we managed to pull
off in an hour and still get back in time to see the Star People). Thank
GOD they had those benches on the side.

ONE POINT TWENTY ONE GIGAWATTS!!!!! :-)
Ok, time for a DT review:
My raves about the show:
The video was good (except for the text)
Lighting was good.
Sound was great.
James was, to quote Marissa Tomei in My Cousin Vinnie, "Dead balls on"
DT rocks! What more can you say?
My bitching about the show:
It wouldv'e been nice of they had played a little longer. I also wasn't
overly thrilled when I waited out back in the cold for over an hour just
to have JP blow off the entire crowd. He looked absolutely terrified of
all 30 of us. (anybody know what was going on?) Then Rod Morgenstein came
out - got to meet him (very nice guy), which is when I realized that my
camera had crapped out royally, so I'll just wait and see how many pics
develop. (If anybody was near the front left of the stage during DT, I
was the really tall guy in the grey sweatshirt hopelessly beating the
crap out of his camera trying to get it to work) I was gonna hang around
and try to meet the whole band, but after JP took off and my camera died,
I figured the hell with it and went home. Did anybody else get to meet
them? If so, how many did you meet and how polite were they?
I inadvertently got in the "guest list" line at first. (I thought it was
kind of funny that only about 100 people sold out the show - until I
realized that the line on the corner was NOT for a different show down
the road) Aside from personally knowing the band, how does one go about
getting on the guest list?
At the end of the show, James said that he'd "see us this summer"...
anybody know of an extended tour??? oooooo.........
-Dan.

See, this is sad... just becuase *you've* forgotten what to do with a
15-year-old girl doesn't mean the rest of us have. i say let there be
all-ages show! 15 and under Girl's section next to the 40+ Men's
section. Then everybody wins.

In response to Labrie fucking up his voice because he shouldn't be singing
tenor, I actually think that you're wrong. The reason I think this is
because when I spoke to him last, he had about the same voice tone as I. I'm
a second tenor, borderline Baritone. However, I can still sing the "healthy
A" that you were talking about, and still make my way up to the High E in
"Under a Glass Moon" and "Take the time", and even up to the high F ( 3
lines above the staff) harmony during the "woah.. wooah woah" part after the
solo in Learning to Live, Granted, that's a tough note, but with good
technique it's fine. Most of Dream Theater's stuff lies in my vocal range,
and I have a very similar voice to Labrie. So.. This is just to say he might
NOT be damaging his voice..

ok, this isn't your average reivew. my friend, an english major decided to
waste some time and write this. we were at the show friday night in philly.
i found this interesting enough to post on the jam.
so if you wish to contact him about his viewpoints his email is:
ja5002@ark.ship.edu
here's his images and words:
Words. Mere words cannot begin to describe the jumbled
and immaculate emotions having, what seems to be, Marti Gras in my
head, the vibrations that race their course from my toes to what's left of
my hair (damn the Army)...
These are a few of my fav-o-rite THINGSSS!! (as song in
Sound of Music without that doe-female deer crap)
I will but try and communicate the various feelings and ideas
that bombarded me like the U.S over Nazi Germany, 1944. The tools I have
to work with, these pathetic insturments of language are a hinderance
instead of help. However, I am am English Major. I will use what's been
provided. I was trained for this.
There is something I would care to address before anything else,
and that is the use of "themes" throughout the show. There were various
"themes" directed towards yours truly, and may have a direct effect on him
for the rest of his life. There was, for example, the ever-present theme
of "Things rubbing against Josh's legs and buttocks." This was one of the
more disturbing themes of the night. This, coupled with the theme of
"Josh not being able to look down and see anything but blackness beyond
his shoulders" led to a very uneasy and an unwarranted-promiscuos persona
to settle over Josh. Ideas flowed like the Niagra river of what these
"rubbing things" may be, and like the Niagra river came crashing down when
Josh realized it was not, indeed, a cute blonde.
Again, to address another theme there was a rather large supply of
popel who were disproportional to eachother. These poeple suddenly
decided to mate during the show. Josh was not sure what inspired this,
although he did find John Pertucchi a "butt kicking, note smashing,
bring-on-the-90's bands-and-let-me-musically-rape-them HERO," this was not
cause to begin fornication of any kind. This is coming from THE
Fornicator, an expert in all forms and styles of promiscuity. Not that
he's proud of this...
Ahem. Anyway, to move on there was a theme of stupidity. This is
the kind of stupidity that runs genetically and the only hope for a cure
would be to gather all the carries of such genes, put them in a pool, and
throw in a toaster. I met a "carrier" of such a gene in the middle of the
audience. He, with his 8' tall frame, and his (maybe, if she stretched)
4'7 girlfriend tried to work their way to the front of the stage through
one thousand insubordiante, rebellious, hot, sweaty, good looking (me) DT
fans. I now refer back to the disproprtional people and sexual acts
thesis of before. They, being the infected carriers of stupidity tried to
do this by going UP THE MIDDLE of the entire crowd. All the while, this
gargantuan hippie who wouldn't defend his country if Russia invaded,
questions democracy, thinks Regan was bad for America, and probably abhors
of all types of capatilism (which is probably why he smelled so bad),
repeats time and time again over a crowd of ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE who now
all have produced rope and are tying nousses, "My girlfreind can't
see...can you see yet Honey?? Cay you?? She can't see...excuse me."
I felt sorry becasue he couldn't help who he was and why he was
born with such a dehibilitating disease such as stupidity, and directed
him to get the hell off my shoe and over near the exit sign where he might
be able to get up front (yeah right).
There are many more themes such as: John P. kicking butt
Jordan wailing on a
keyboard (HOW?? It's a keyboard!!)
John M. being oblivios
to everything going on around him while obviuously trying to give life to
is bass guitar by creating electricity through the rapid movements of his
fingers an injecting it into the base of the bass (yes, that word play was
intended, and I don't care if it was hookey. Shutup.)
James singing. He was
okay.
Mike Portnoy
pretending his set was actually an antique hot rod and engaging in, what
must've been, 85-95 mph sprints down Rt. 66. Also making faces at the
crowd and spitting water on the lead singer. That was funny.
These themes will be addressed in deatil
later whn Thommy actually writes me back, proving that there is a God.

Holst's planets are also pretty good songs. I don't get it with debussy
though. I can understand he made progress with using different harmonys
(chords built on 4ths and whatever), but I thought the original reason
people didnt use them was because they sounded bad. Anyways. He does
better than I could do.

Thats funny I thought the idea of over age shows was to protect the YOUNG people
from the OLDER people. You poor old man (maybe next time just wait till
the video comes out and then you can enjoy the concert in the comfort of your
living room). Last time I checked DT was a rock band, not the symphony orchestra.

I dont think this is true at all. In fact I think many prog fans start to lose
sight of the pure emotion of a song and instead find joy in analysing music.

I dont think this happens.

This was one of the things the grunge movement was all about. Whilst they
didnt get round to focusing much on music, they did put a lot of effort into
creating lyrics that mean something and got away from trendy dudes singing
about chicks and cars.

I think some of you should lay off Ricky a bit. He has actually been around for
15 years or something, making the music he makes. Its always been his goal
to bring latin music to the masses, an honorable goal i think, and he has done
it well. I think it is more the fault of the masses who need latin music to be
sung by a sex symbol and have a techno beat before they accept it.

I say go for it Jordan. Listening to the bootlegs I thought his solo was
awsome. Besides he is a new member to the band and many people
going to concert wouldnt be internet/information nerds like us- many
people might want to see his chops and creativity in action.

Has anyone heard of a Queensrych tribute album? I heard something about it
and was wondering if it's any good. For that matter, does anyone recommend
the DT one? I haven't read too many endorsements on here about it.

1. FYI, Statovarius-Infinite is now available for pre-order at CDNow for
$11.99
Grab a coupon and order one or two.

2. Does anyone else have Stratovarius-The Chosen Ones?
It's a greatest hits cd. On the last track, Will the Sun Rise,
the sound cuts off at 1:47, but the cd keeps playing until
the supposed end of the song at 5:17. It is annoying, but
it's not that big a deal because I have WtSR? on Episode.
I was just wondering if anyone else's cd did that.
3. I finally got The Johannson Brothers cd. It's got some cool
stuff on it. Vocal songs, instrumentals, some with just
drums and keys ala RMP. Also, a sweet cover of the Beach
Boys Good Vibrations, complete with double bass drum a
and Hammond solo. It also got me thinking that "exitations"
is not a word.
~Trevor might listen to BSB if they did everything acapella and
he never had to look at them. Did I say that out loud? :)

So I went to see them at a little bar north of Seattle and
there were not very many people there. Mostly just friends
and family of the three bands playing. I wore my DT-SFaM
shirt (Thanks Deb!) which started several conversations.
FYI, Chiaroscuro sounds kind of like a DT/NIN mix, with
James-like vocals, two keyboardists, 7-sting guitar, 6-string bass,
double-bass drums (well one drum, but with that pedal that makes
it sound like two) etc. They put on a great show for the half dozen people
that were there. Apparently, I was the first fans of thiers that
wasn't family or friends. They asked where I got the cd and
I told them moremetal.com and they said "so you're the one that
bought it!" like they'd only sold one or something. :)
Anyway, they are playing again on the 31st in Seattle.
Trevor likes this band, but will stop talking so much about them
so I will not become ostracized like a certain person overhyping
a little band of Italian youngsters.

If you weren't such an overhasty idiot, you'd read the post you were replying to before hitting the "balls in blender" button. I don't have any problem with MIDI sound being available, I just hate it when people set it up to start playing automatically, becasue when I'm at computers in the learning centre here, they won't play MIDI sound. Instead they click and whine for ten minutes, and frequently crash completely.
Read, think, THEN flame if necessary, Mosh. Not the other way around.

That's pretty simple, really - ACoS was written as one coherent piece of music (although they then expanded it a little). I wouldn't refer to it as a song, really, it's a piece of music (same with TOT; LiTS is a song, just a long one)

Err...That was in ACoS, not Met1.

Seems like he's all over the place over the next month or so.
German jammers should try and check out Muzikmesse in Frankfurt. Between
Finn, DT and Vanden Plas, Deutschland is looking pretty good in the
month of April!

Hello everyone.
This is my first post to the 'Jam. I've been a member for about 2 years =
now and a DT fan since '92. I've been reading the posts regarding =
underage attendance and want my opinion known about this issue. I saw my =
first DT show when I was 20 in Providence, at the tail-end of the Awake =
tour. This was the show that made me realize how awesome DT is, and =
consequently, I've been to 5 shows since then, including the show last =
week at Toad's. As all of you may or may not know, Toad's keeps the =
underage from the overage by putting up a net to separate the two groups. =
I found that I was just as annoyed by 30-year -olds pushing there way =
around and being loud, obnoxious, and downright rude during the show. =
Bottom Line: I think your going to experience annoying people at any =
given show no matter what their age.
I think expanding DT's younger fan-base is vital to their future success. =
Had my first show been an over-21-only show, I may not be the DT fan that =
I am today. I know it sound s corny, but I speak the truth. Just my =
opinion. Let me know what you all think.
Later,
-Steve Graham
