I feel the same way jacko. We'd be better off if more people
would accept responsibility for their own actions instead of trying to
make others pay for them.

You mean like how MP is taking responsibility for the action of chucking
the drum paraphenalia?

i guess i looked at this wrong. it is mikes fault.
i'm sure it's just a matter of time before peter gabriel gets sued for crowd
surfing (a crowd pleasing part of his shows) because someone hurts their wrist
trying to tear his shirt off.
it's a drum stick. why hurt your self diving for it (even if you aren't in
the balcony) or wrestle your significant other to the ground for a drum stick?
maybe if mike was throwing out rolex watches or gold bars i could see it.

is now available. This is just a test. there is no track/band info in the
files yet (id3 tags) and yes I know they're not in mp3 format, but .ogg format.
Anyway, just wondering what you guys think of the recording. I was 16th
row floor, and using a Sharp MD-MT831, and a pair of mics from Core Sound.
I added some compression later, but no EQ or any other processing was done.

Let me know what you think. I have the originals still so can take another
run at cleaning them up if necessary, add ID3 tags, convert to mp3, etc.

First, it was great seeing DT at Massey Hall, a 2,700-seat venue noted for
it's excellent acoustics.
The show was great, and the crowd seemed very into it, although I didn't
hear much singing. (Check out the latest live Rush release for a crowd
that knows all the words!)
Instrumentally, I've never heard Petrucci that flawless or just damn
fast! Very few players seem to get steadily better over the years like he
does. His tone was fat, warm, and there was decent stereo imaging when he
switched to his chorusy clean sound.
Portnoy: Amazing as usual! I know he worships Pearte - anybody know if
Pearte has commented publicly on Portnoy? Anyway, inspirational drumming
as always.
JR: I paid attention to the keyboards after someone here commented they
didn't care much for his presence and main sounds. Personally, I thought
his sounds were fine, although he could have been a bit higher in the mix
to get through JP's massive wall of guitar. I love when he doubles JP's
solos with a xylophone sound - that's straight out of Frank Zappa! I wish
they would do more FZ-inspired stuff, maybe cover one of his instrumentals?
JM: The bass was a bit too forward in the first song, but then burried for
the rest of the show. Personally, I'd like to hear him more - not to
mention the poor guy should have some wank time too! The rest get plenty
of opportunity to show off; how about a bass solo?
Vocals: James' voice was well, strained. This was probably just from the
stress of being on tour, but he really was pulling flat a lot, not reaching
high notes, or avoiding them altogether. Personally, I was focused more on
the instrumental aspects, and maybe James jus tneeds a few days off to rest.
Overall, a great show in a great venue!

At which point, you elbow him in the ribs and say firmly but quietly "If you
know what's good for you... you'll let go" :P

Thanks for the boot Chris. I downloaded a plugin for ogg for winamp. I have
winamp 2.8, but I get nothing trying to play the files... any ideas?
