Those of you who are interested in reading reviews of the Dream Theater
Official Bootlegs, check out www.metal-e-zine.com. In the 'Music' section,
scroll down to Dream Theater in the alphabetical list of albums.
The reviews are full of spoilers, obviously. Also, they are not entirely
positive (they were written by me, and I am quite a fan, but still I found
some faults here and there).

They stopped selling direct earlier in the year and have thrown their lot
in with the evil ticketshafter folks. The alternative site is
www.carlinglive.com/

Not so! From sometime in October, all of the seats in the stall will be
removed. Seating will reamin upstairs for those who dont like to have their
drinks spilt :) All gigs from Nov 2003 are standing only downstairs

Doesn't he have front row tickets for Manchester? I should have too :)

Just like watching the Arse ;)
> However I have just booked for:

> Porcupine Tree 30/11
> Dream Theater 17/01
not sure about the Kings X, but before that there's Bloodstock,
Nightwish \m/, Progpower and PoS in Sweden, then a little later on
Dream Evil/Falconer, Nevermore/Arch Enemy, Evanescence, 21st Century
Schitzoid Band and other delights before the year is out. Not forgetting
the final live gig from Camel on Oct 28th.

1st person to mention the DORKness on the list. I succumbed and
bought the album - not sure about them live though. They've good
a bloody great PR person working for them tho!

The gig is at the Mean Fiddler (strange since they filled the larger
Astoria last time out). The gig was originally arranged for October 4th or
something and has been re-arranged.

I have front row seats for Manchester. I ordered seated tickets for
London, thinking I'd get something near the front of the stalls, but
now I've no idea what I'm going to get. If they give me seats upstairs
I'll order new tickets for downstairs and flog the old ones on
Ebay. ;-)

Hmmm...ya know after that, I got thinking on it...I'd still prefer a clip or demo. LOL! Seriously though, I am sure alot of people will enjoy this contest which is really great for them. I just can't seem to get into the idea at all. But it is probably just me. Seeing the charts are kinda cool. I really dont anticipate reading them along with the song when I do hear it...it has the same effect as saying "gee The great Debate has a section that sounds like Tool..." . I'd rather just think of it as a new DT song than a song that is influenced by whomever. Either way, I hope the contest furthers the cause.
