Just wanted to thank everybody for the warm responses on my letter (I wrote about the Fates Warning Problem that appears I'm not the only one afflicted with). I've got another question for all the Long-Timers (anyone read Insomina???) here. Does anyone know how DT will go about writing songs?? I mean, they seem just a little too complex to just get everyone together for a lazy afternoon of jamming and then end up with A Mind Beside Itself. Do they all write stuff at home, then pass it around on tapes, and then get together for arranging later on?? Anyone who's asked them personally I especially encourage to respond. It seems like this would be a FAQ, but it wasn't on there. Thanks ahead of time!

The following is a statement from the band's drummer, Mike Portnoy: "...Dream Theater had played our first of two shows in Osaka and spent the night at Hard Rock Cafe after donating a platinum disc and an autographed drum head. After heading back to the hotel to retire for the evening, the earthquake hit at 5:46am. It was absolutely the most frightening experience of my entire life. My room was shaking so violently, I thought a bomb had gone off. It felt like it lasted for a good 30 seconds and I couldn't even balance myself to get out of bed. I was certain I was going to die. After it stopped, the band and crew ran into the hallway in complete panic and confusion-the scariest part of it was being stuck on the 27th floor with the lights blown out as the hotel continued to rock back and forth for about 5 minutes. We continued to feel aftershocks throughout the day and had to cancel our second show. It is a horrible tragedy for the people of Japan and our hearts go out to them being that we went through the experience as well."

I'm a singer, and as far as I'm concerned the hardest songs to sing are TTT, Surrounded, LtL, LFaGA, and Status Seeker, in that order. This is because singing th song reqires many shifts from chest to head register and back over the course of only about 8 measures. I would be interested in hearing what other singers/instrumentalists/non-musicians think of this query. Am I using that word correctly?

It's good boot as LoS in my opinion. :) There's inconsistencies among the information concerning this new bootleg. For the last week or so, any mention has claimed that this boot was from Oct. 28 at the Manhattan Center in NY. The year was never even mentioned, let alone any songs being mentioned except metropolis and Another Day, so I thought this was another Images and Tour show. Now Kaoru says its from Oct. 29, 1995. I'm glad to hear it's an Awake show, but it couldn't have been from Oct. 28 or 29, since these shows were in Baltimore and Pittsburgh respectively. Kaoru, does James say "New York" on the recording? If so, someone reiterate when they played at the Manhattan Center. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh shows included Set the Sun but not Innocence Faded, so the location could be messed up also. I'm just curious to whether we can figure this out. I was at the Pittsburgh show, and Putrucci's acoustic didn't work for Silent Man, so they stopped the song and started it over with him playing his electric. This is distinctive of Pittsburgh, so if this isn't on the recording, then it's not from Oct. 29. KAI ps. Just got my European LIE single with TLF on it. I really like the studio version of TLF with the harmony vocals and new vocal melody near the end. I still hate the radio edit of LIE. It just sucks without the Mirror and the outro solo. Saw the single with the TTT demo on it at a record fair yesterday, but didn't have $10 left when I got to it. My bootlist is growing exponentially, so anyone interested in taking another look at it for trading purposes, e-mail me. Thanks ALF for the single, direct from Italy. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jan 1995 12:15:57 +0100 (MET) From: Mats Rydstr\vm To: Ytsejam mailing-list Subject: cover gig...fw Message-ID: hi! i mean, there's some talk about how great it is with a covers-gig, but i'm surprised that there's not more...i think it's the fucking coolest thing of the year and i would be glad to sell my whole family to see that gig...ok, not my whole family...ok, well maybe not my family...but still i think i would appreciate to see that show more than a normal dt show, don't flame me about this. (i have seen dt twice and will of course go to every regular dt show that i'm able to) but, you enlish guys, make sure to record the show, even though mike said that dt will record it, you'll never know how much or even if it will be released. record the show! on to another subject: i want to get into fates warning, i did try, but i have failed. a friend of mine lent me his copy of parallells and i didn't find it very interesting. i know that it takes about 10 listens to really appreciate such music and i only listened to it about three times, but with all music i think there'll have to be something that grabs you from the first second. i found the album, not bad at all, but quite boring, already feeling the flames.... when i first heard pmu i was knocked to the floor, i recorded the video from tv and watched it several times every day for about a week until i finally found the album i&w. still dt requires more than just one listen but something hit me and grabbed me hard when i first heard dt, and that did not happen with fw. maybe i started with the wrong fw-album. i found songs like 'eye to eye' quite cheezy but i understand that the progressive qualitys are more subtle with fw's music. which album should i start with if i like hard, progressive and sometimes crazy music, which fw album is their essence, their masterpiece? i will see fw when they open for dt in feb. and maybe then i will discover the greatness of fw, i sincerely hope so. any help is needed. answer via email if you think that this subject has already been dealt with here too much. thanks! ________________________________________________________________________ / Mats Rydstrom - email_address_removed.se - http://www.nada.kth.se/~d94-mry / /-----------------------------------------------------------------------/ / "We can hope for the future, though there may not be one" - ACOS / /_______________________________________________________________________/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jan 1995 05:41:00 -0800 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: DREAM THEATER POLL Message-ID: Date: Tue, 24 Jan 95 07:30:15 EST OK, unless someone else jumps up and demands that they want to do, it looks like I'm running the Dream Theater Poll. I have a rough draft ready, and here's what it contains so far: - song rankings (only material from WDADU, I&W and Awake) from 0 to 10 - lyric rankings (same format) - general question, 'What intrument do you play (if any)?' Yeah, ok, it looks short. But it's going to give me enough work as it is, so why complicate things? :-) I don't think we should include any unreleased stuff (ACOS, TLF etc..) because not everyone has access to it. (WDADU is rare enough) Album rankings will be calculated from the song rankings I can't really think of anything else to put on the poll. If anyone has any suggestions, MAIL ME NOW!!! As I'm really anxious to get this thing underway! I want to post the poll as soon as possible, but I will wait until Monday (Jan 30th) to give everyone a fair chance to offer suggestions. please send any suggestions to email_address_removed or email_address_removed.ca ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jan 1995 08:09:16 -0600 From: email_address_removed (Hank Marquardt) To: email_address_removed Subject: Old?

Message-ID: Hi fellow jammers out there. Being a Dream Theater fan for a couple of years (yep, I also got WDADU, if you still remember that thread;) and several other prog bands, my attention has been brought to the music of Rush. I know that most of you like Rush, so I find this the best place to ask for recommendations. I currently have Fly by Night on vinyl and Permanent waves on CD. Of the two I like PW best. It's hard to find old Rush, so I'll probable by any of their albums as they become available, but could you give me some pointers to which Rush albums should be considered essential?

I agree that I haven't been exposed to much jazz and therefore don't appreciate it. But what I'm looking for right now is sort of a stepping stone into the world of jazz. Up until now I've liked guitar or solo instrument compositions, and usually those that are technically difficult. When I listened to John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny, etc it struck me as a lot of orchestration at times and no individuality of instruments, or free-style jazz at times with everyone playing at once. Since I'm not experienced in that style I'd like to slowly delve into it. For example, Chick Corea was fairly mainstream in my opinion. I don't mean to say jazz is bad since I appreciate the music knowledge those musicians have. I've been hearing Al DiMeola's Kiss My Axe is good. Sorry for the Non-DT content!

I too have noted that there is a large number of Jammers who are college students. I attribute that to the more cerebral nature of DT's music. I wanted to put my bid in to appropriate the cane with DT stickers. I'm a 42 year old DT fan, progressive rock fan and musician (working with all late 20's personnel). I grew up and was influenced by the various progressive rock phases through today. It's been a fun ride so far!

I just called a local store called "Planet Music" and they said they could order the CD. It would cost $16.95, which isn't too bad. That store does do mail-order so you can have them send it directly to you. Planet Music also claimed to be able to order Magellan's first CD, "Hour of Restoration", for $13.95! I was surprised that they'd be able to get it that cheaply. So far, Planet Music has been very reliable about getting in special orders for me, so I trust them. Let me know if you have problems.

(Though that was years ago - see the paragraph above. ) He was the first guitarist I'd ever seen using serious coputer equipment on stage - spent part of each song trying to figure which part was the guitar.
