Sitting at this red light, I noticed a DT promotional sign on a telephone pole. I was amazed that it was still there. The sign was advertising a show that never happened almost two years ago!!! I thought wow, I should grab that sign, but then I thought, it would be better to leave the sign in place for all to see.

I thought that something happened (like something that was thrown hit him or something like that) but they just started playing without him...I guess he didnt know the song or something. It did show one thing though...how important keyboards are to DT's sound. The song was definitely hurt because it had no keyboards. But I was relieved when he came back out for the next song.

The reason he called me is because i will be going over to Europe for 2 weeks and was wondering if I wanted to go. Now since he is from the US he is unsure of the location of the town. The Ad stated that the DT show is in Lichtenfels on the 21st of June at 8:00. Now what i would like to know is, where is this town located. My friend looked at a map and found two of them!!! One was near Frankfurt and the other was North of Erlangen. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me, since i would love to see this show!!! I would love to see the best band in the world in a different country than my own!! It would be so intense.

As one who nearly always finds some other word to describe whatever feeling that's being evoked, I find myself wondering when ANY artist believes it's necessary to use obscenities in their work. Again, its just a matter of style/taste/opinion, but I, myself, find it at least slightly distressing.

Cox" To: email_address_removed Cc: email_address_removed Subject: Dream Theater Taping Section Message-ID: in risk of being "off the deep end" as dr mosh suggested, i wanted to see what you guys thought of this: I had an idea this weekend i wanted to run by everyone. Since so many bands are starting to allow audio and/or video taping at their shows, i was thinking "how can we persuade dt to allow taping?". anyway, i thought i would run this by everyone: we all add up how many bootleg cds we own (just cds) and send the results to someone (me, for instance), and i will add all of the totals up, and multiply by the average cd price, $23, say, and come up with a grand figure of how much the bootlegging industry has made off of all of us. then, i will take all of the results and send them to dt's management and label, with a petition from everyone. in this petition will be as many names as i can get of people that think a taping section for dt would be a good thing. you dont have to want to tape your- self, just think that it would be better for the general tape trading community. any other thoughts/arguments will also be forwarded to dt's mgmt. my goal is to persuade them to at least sell a few audio taper tickets for each show, i.e. grateful dead, phish, page/plant, queensryche, but unlimited audio and/or video would be great, too. but, i think that unlimited taping *would* be a bad idea, with people setting up stuff everywere, getting in each other's way, etc. a real taping section right behind the soundboard would be best. anyway, i will set up an address right now for everyone to mail. mail to: email_address_removed include this: the total # of bootleg cd's that i own: the # of dream theater bootleg cd's that i own: the # of "official" dream theater cds that i own (imports/singles count): i would be interested in purchasing taper tickets for dt (yes/no/why): i would buy less bootleg cds if taping was allowed (yes/no/why): any additional comments: **always looking for rush/dream theater/queensryche/king's x bootlegs** ============================================================================= Voices repeating me, Brian V.

Message-ID: Just back home from seeing the boys "Live on Long Island" -- what a fackin *excellent* time ... not just meeting and chatting it up with Mike, John and Derek (who hasn't changed one bit in 11 years!), but also meeting some of the fellow jammers on this list. First off, *Endless* kudos to Babs -- she is a goddess!! Thanks a trillion for pulling this ytsecon coup off. Brian did a pretty accurate job of detailing the evenings events, so I won't rehash that. Fav moments? - Hearing the studio version of ACOS -- I love it, much better than the boots - The preview of the Ronnie Scotts tape mixdown - The Mike P inverview (I assume this will be transcribed to the net?!) - learning it was Mike who stole the "E19" sign from Berklee 8^) - the auction for the rare DT euro posters (you see, Babs, I didn't win one as foretold to you!!). - Brian running "70s music trivia from Hell" Mike P *hinted* at Ytsecon *possibly* becoming an annual event (just quoting him, but want to specifically state it was TOTALLY speculative on his behalf -- don't start getting your hopes up too much, folks!). I'm sorry for the Ytsejammers not located in the northeast who were unable to attend. I hate to sound negative, but I highly doubt that a "ytsecon" event WITH members of DT in attendence would be possible -- their schedules are *very* tight!!! I think the fact that 4/5's of DT live within a 30 minute drive from the Smithtown Sheraton played a HUGE factor in their attendence at the event!! I'm not sure if anyone made specific mention of this, but the two NYC-area shows next week (Birchhill in NJ and the Malibu on LI) are the ONLY U.S. dates -- for now. These shows will be done before they head for Europe. Mike also mentioned they would be debuting the new version of ACOS at the show, and mentioned they would be changing the set list around for these dates. PLEASE -- SOMEONE BOOT THESE SHOWS!!!!

Message-ID: Well, on the question of why DT would use an obscenity/vulgarity/etc in their music...well sometimes, in order to make deep cerebral and sometimes metaphysical points, authors/writers will use such phrases or actions in conveying the meaning. I just saw this Marlon Brando movie from the early 70 's called "Last Tango in Paris"...and their are certainly plenty of "vulgar", borderline tasteless scenes in that movie..but it is all trying to convey a deeper meaning..and sometimes you have to step back to see the big picture.

This time, I know what I'm doing, so I'll have a lot of shipments ready-to-go when the CDs are out of the gate, so to speak. Every single iota of work I can get done in advance, will be done in advance. :) SUBCONSCIOUS: The CDs are finally _gone_. Every copy has been sold. I have reservations still to be paid for, so if they back out, more copies will be available.. but for now, they are all apparently gone. For those of you who are still waiting to get yours, I'm sending them out by and by, and you should have it soon... I expect the final Subconscious disc to ship in under 2 weeks. THANKS EVERYONE for being a part of this! You all RULE! :) DISCLAIMER: Cygnus falls into a grey area under law as an uncopyrighted recording produced in such a manner that at least one facet of the production occurs in a country (namely Italy) in which it is legal to do so. In the USA, it is permissible to sell used import CDs only if they are labeled as such. This is such a CD. Be aware that the various powers-that-be are collecting nothing for this. Of course, that's all cover-my-butt lawyerspeak. I hope you all will want to be a part of this. I make roughly minimum wage doing it, so you know I'm not out to scam you. In all humility, I appeal to anyone who might not think too kindly of my endeavor, and ask that they might give me the benefit of the doubt on this one. Friends? :) 1. What the hell is Cygnus? 2. When can I order and how? 3. Orders received. ============================================================================= 1. What the hell is Cygnus? Hi all, I'm Mike Bahr, humble maker of special edition CDs. Earlier this year, in an effort that is still ongoing, I made available a special, _very_ limited edition Dream Theater CD called Subconscious. I didn't know if the project would work at all, since I had to use my own money to finance the project, and had to be very close on costs to even make it a non-loss financially. But you responded, Ytsejammers! The CD sold, sold, and sold some more. In fact, the entire limited edition print of 500 copies, each hand-numbered and signed in gold by myself, sold out entirely to you, the most devoted fans of Dream Theater on earth. And I do mean _Earth_! I got orders from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Israel, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Greece, and a few more countries I am sure I have forgotten to mention. Truly, the WORLD made Subconscious a success for me and for the Jam, so I'm going to hope that Cygnus will be another one! My heart goes out to all of you in every country of the world for joining in! What I did was work with a pressing plant using rental equipment and some of my own as well, and an exhausting three months of preparation, packaging, and mailing, not to mention production of the CD, and a million other things, and made it a reality. I was relieved beyond words when I read the positive comments people had for it online. Cygnus is the project I will do to fill the gap between Spring 1995's Subconscious and Autumn 1995's WHEN DREAM AND JAMES UNITE. Cygnus will be a recording from an ultra-rare Rush show, the single best sounding Rush show in existence, from the mystical Hemispheres tour of 1978-79. I will only print 1000 copies... beyond that, there shall be no more. Here's the information on the show. Title: Rush "Cygnus" Source: True soundboard reel-to-reel, original length 83 min Running time: 75 min Venue: Convention Center Arena (TCC Arena) Location: Tucson, Arizona Date: November 20, 1978 Generation: Transferred to 44.1kHz DAT from a 2nd gen analog. Quality: Beyond comparison. Higher than "Oakland '92" and "Pinkpop". Setlist: Anthem A Passage to Bangkok By-Tor and the Snow Dog Xanadu Something for Nothing The Trees Cygnus X-1 Book 1: The Voyage Cygnus X-1 Book 2: Hemispheres I. Prelude II. Apollo III. Dionysus IV. Armageddon V. Cygnus VI. The Sphere Closer to the Heart Circumstances A Farewell to Kings La Villa Strangiato Also on the original tape was a cut-off version of the beginning of 2112, the Overture and then half of the Temples section. In order to make Cygnus fit onto a single CD, I cut those seven minutes out of the DAT. Everyone has a live 2112 on ATWAS album, anyway. Now that I sort of "have the hang of it" where CDs are concerned, I will be trying to put together some colorful art for the CD and cover. For those who didn't get one, Subconscious had a gold-on-black motif, much like the Terminator-2 and Star Wars laserdisc box-sets. It was dignified, and direct. And now, for Cygnus, I want to really make people say "wow!" 2. Where can I order and how? Okay, here's the deal. Anyone remember how long it took my blanks shipment to get to me when I did Subconscious? Twenty-nine days, it did. And I plan to place the order for Cygnus at the end of this week. (5/20 or so) Now, this time, I originally had planned not to even ANNOUNCE Cygnus until I had the CDs in hand. However, so many of you are leaving for the summer and/or want early copies like last time, that I will go ahead and do a pre- order deal again. Here's how it works. I don't want anyone feeling uncomfortable sending me a payment when in all truth, your CD might take a month to get to you. So I will divulge as much information as I can to make it a sound decision on your part. For those who wish to wait, there will be NO penalty; simply order when I get the CDs in shipment. For those who order early, in an effort to reward their confidence in my project and in gratitude for them getting the ball rolling early, I will be shipping CDs out in the order they were received... thus, you'll get it sooner. Furthermore, this time I'm going to run a little contest. A random ten people in the first 150 orders (this will be done with a computer randomizer) will get a free copy of a special video montage, just as an added bonus and a thank-you for being a part of this. I think I might make two or three different montages and throw them in at random into the sets... one Rush, one Dream Theater, one Live, one Queensryche and maybe one of all sorts of progressive bands. Or more! :) How to order!!! Remember when Subconscious came out, and I said certain costs were permanent, and had gone into the production cost? I didn't lie... Cygnus will be CHEAPER than Subconscious was. The price will be $23. For anyone in Canada ordering, add only $1 for postage. For anyone outside North America, add $2 for postage (so it would be the same price as Sub) and that will take care of it. There's a lot of bean-counting that I do to come up with those numbers, so trust me, it's what it amounts to. Plus, you can order as MANY Cygnus discs as you want, because you on the Jam are getting a shot at it before I offer it anywhere else. Please use a money order if you can. The reason is simple: it's safe! I know you paid and you know I have it (it's traceable). And you know if you don't get a CD or a refund, I'll go to jail. For international orders, I will indeed accept cash if you wish. I urge you to be careful, because every order for Subconscious that contained cash made it safely to me, but that might not always be the case. I don't want anybody to lose their money. For orders of 2 or more Cygnus discs, a travellers cheque or international money order is economical to use. If you decide to use cash, please wrap it tight in a thick envelope and try to hide it, so that nobody will steal it. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. It will actually be closer to 4 or 4 and a half weeks, but in order to be safe, I'm giving you the extreme possibility. Understand that, as with Subconscious, I'll be making every effort to get them sent fast and soon. And now, I know a few things I can be doing to get them done faster than I did with Sub... like pre-making the mailing lists, supplies, process, etc. Here's what to do. Send your payment, along with your Name, Address to ship it to, Internet email address (in case I need to contact you), how MANY CDs you want, and, optionally, your phone number. I say optionally, because I know some of you want to keep them unlisted. Send all this to: Michael Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 (USA) If you wish to speak to me for any reason, including questions, comments, suggestions, or you just want to chat with another dedicated fan of Rush and Dream Theater, you are very welcome to call me at 1-602-777-0501. I am usually home between 11am and 9pm Mountain Standard Time. Please use this phone number with proper discretion, however, as I will be very confused if you call me at 3:00 in the morning, or if a bunch of women who thought it was a phone-sex line start calling. :) 3. Orders received. This time, I'm in the thick of finishing the Sub project, and Cygnus is coming along just dandy as well... and I will be able to confirm that an order was received if you email me about it. I won't be posting a long list to the Jam because of complaints I received about the Sub listing. For the most part, all orders usually get through. If you want to confirm yours PERSONALLY, feel free to do so, via email or voice. Well that about wraps it up for this update of the CYGNUS CD project.

Message-ID: Howday all, Glad to hear the Ytsecon was such a smashing success; I wish I could have been there! Well, as you all know, DT will be in NJ this Thursday and I got my ticket yesterday!! (Ticketbastard DOES suck, though: if it's $12.50 for general admission, how did I wind up paying $35.50 for two frigging tickets??) I hope to meet up with some of you other jammers at the show; if my Ytsejam shirt has arrived by then, you can be sure I'll be wearing it! If not, I don't know what I'll be wearing, but I probably WILL have either my Jack Skellington (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) hat or my Dr Seuss Cat in the Hat hat on, so look for it! Anyway, the main reason I'm writing is this: does anyone know good directions coming from Philadelphia? I saw a couple people posted directions from NY, but these aren't much good to me. I'm calling Triple A today to get a triptik to Old Bridge (it'll take me about 2 hours to get there), but I'd really like to get some explicit directions to the club itself if possible. Thanks; I hope to see a lot of you at the show! :) --ROb ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 842 *************************
