The FW/DT/QR show would make a great DVD. I'd buy it for the QR/DT encores
alone.

I have a bootleg from the FII tour (the one from Den Bosch, which was
recorded and sold here on the jam by some guy whose name I forgot) and James
was excellent that night. I saw DT in NYC on the first Roseland show, and
James was spot on again. He will always have good nights and bad nights on
each tour, although the frequency of the bad nights can indeed be
diminished, I think. Actually, why does James' voice crack? Is it
something physiological about his throat or is it something about technique
that he should be able to control? I'm sure it's not the lines he's
singing, because I've heard his voice crack on high notes, low notes, you
name it.

It was Zonder! He joined them for the last few dates of the tour. As
much as I like
NDV, I'm glad I got to see Zonder with FW.

Hi all,
I'm going through a DT boot that I recorded last year and just haven't
had time to release. Sadly, I had to use my crap mic, as the plug
on the good one is too dodgy. There are also various "issues" that make this
one for the avid fan only! e.g. mobile phone battery low beep, the MD
running out just before the amazing bit of the jam in By-tor And The
Snow Dog, people talking, you name it...
Nevertheless, I believe it was the first time Number Of The Beast" was
played, so I want to get it out there. The performance for the two days
was amazing. I'm recording my MD's to .wav files, which I'm then going
to normalise.
Is there any more (automatic) processing that would be a good idea
without fucking about too much? Like many boots, it actually doesn't
sound too bad when I crank it up. I think it is very high in mids though.

So it was Zonder that stepped aside so Portnoy could play a tune with his
band? No wonder he doesn't get along with Portnoy.

Hello Nicole,
Thanks for reading my post, and sorry if I have caused you confusion.
Please allow me to explain the story. The concert was in late October
1997, the opening night of the 'Falling Into Infinity' tour at Toad's
Place in New Haven, CT. Deciding to forego studying for a Linear Algebra
exam scheduled for the following Monday, I went ahead and took the
Greyhound bus down to New Haven to see Dream Theater (no way was I going
to let that ticket go to waste; besides, I didn't know any other Dream
Theater fans at Tufts at the time aside from my friend Chad, who was
already goping to the concert). The concert was great, made special not
only by being the first night of the tour and my first time seeing DT but
also by having had the opportunity to see John Petrucci play the solo for
'Scarred' about five feet away from me.
With the concert complete, and after giving props to James and Derek for
the awesome show, I needed to get back to Boston. Chad had told me ahead
of time that there were people from Boston going to the show, and I could
see about getting a ride back with one of them. Sure enough, there was a
blonde female named Nicole there, who at the time was an au pair (i.e.
resident nanny) in the Northeast and had the keys to her employers' Volvo
850 Turbo station wagon (they lent it to her while they were away for a
vacation). Out of the goodness of her heart, she was willing to drive
another DT fan (whose name I forget, but he was an alright fellow) and me
back up to Boston. Despite driving at triple-digit speeds and eliciting
the attention of a Connecticut state trooper (who for some reason, did not
pursue us and pull us over, maybe because our car slowed down upon seeing
him), we made it back intact. Between that and the good conversation, it
made for an interesting end to the evening.
So, Ms Stachowicz, if you were that person with the Volvo station wagon,
thank you very much again; I still appreciate it, and I don't know what
would have happened to me otherwise. If not, sorry about mistaking you
for someone else. If that someone else on the 'Jam recognizes that she
was the driver in this story, I give my thanks to you, and please let me
know.
Thanks for reading!
Electronically,
Dom

It was either here, or on a thread at mp.com. Someone was asking why Zonder
wasn't playing on the tour. Someone else responded that he didn't get along
very well with Portnoy. I'm too lazy to look it up, I was up all night
deworming computers at work.
