I feel that this was a good move for the guys because MBR will actually care about their sales and promote them. We should all know how shitty a job Geffen does in supporting bands which are actually *good* and have a lot of potential. No other info on a record or anything, just that they've been signed. Where can I get some cool DT GIFs or JPEGs? Thanks. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 1995 01:56:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Brad Kane To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 913 Message-ID: Dear Jaime, Like I said before to you, the interview is _totally_ out of my hands.

This is the latest information on Acoustic Dreams, the new LIMITED EDITION Dream Theater CD I will be producing. It will be a numbered, hand-initialed limited print just like Subconscious was. ============================================================================ DISCLAIMER: Acoustic Dreams falls into a grey area of 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 is Acoustic Dreams? 2. What is the release schedule? 3. How can I get my own copy of Acoustic Dreams? ============================================================================ 1. What is Acoustic Dreams? Hi all! Allow me to introduce myself, if you aren't familiar with me yet. I'm Mike Bahr, humble maker of special-edition CDs. I noticed a lot of the mass-manufactured bootleg offerings were spiralling quite high in price and yet offered little for the die-hard fan, and I concocted a scheme by which I could make around minimum wage by producing CDs on my own, CDs that would fill the demand for REAL rarities and special songs, unreleased items, live shows, and the like. Basically, since no CD plant will print them for me, I have to rent studio and equipment time and do it myself. So far, it's working. :) Fortunately, and for this I am very relieved, my CD efforts so far have been incredibly well-received by the net community, especially the Ytsejam mailing list. I just do what I can do and leave the rest up to God, and I guess the Almighty isn't disappointing you folks. People from all walks of life, all countries of the world, both sexes, all races, and all religions have joined in on the Subconscious and Cygnus projects, and I am very happy to have you all along for the ride. I'll keep making CDs as long as you folks are willing to keep buying them. Thanks so _very_ much... :) And now, it's time to get Acoustic Dreams together. Well, this is the next CD I'm doing, also known as Dream Theater Unplugged. We were given a VERY high-quality soundboard tape of DT's recent Unplugged performance in Europe, and it can only be fully expressed in the form of a CD. Trust me. :) I am fervently hoping that the finished product is well-liked. I've created the master DAT and submitted it so I can get the glass master made. Here's the final tracklisting from Acoustic Dreams. I know many were hoping I'd find more stuff, but I've pretty much scraped the barrel dry at this point. The only other things of similar sound quality I could find were in soundboard shows that ought to be released to CD in their entirety. Acoustic Dreams 1. Another Day 2. Lifting Shadows off a Dream 3. Wait For Sleep 4. The Silent Man 5. Lie (boogie version) 6. Tears (Rush cover) 7. O Holy Night Electric Extras 8. Perfect Strangers (with Bruce Dickinson on vocals) 9. 6:00 (performed in session with a much better mix) 10. Caught In A Web (another better performance) Bonus Tracks (acoustic) 11. Voices (just a small part of it was all there was) acoustic 12. Bad (U2 cover) acoustic I hope that once you've heard it, you will, like me, have your breath taken away by the beauty of the acoustic tracks and the clarity and sharpness of the electric mixes. As good as Cygnus sounded, this is easily and by far the best sounding CD I will have ever made. 2. What is the release schedule? Here is the current schedule of releases as I see it (all dates estimated): 08/06/1995 - Rush: Cygnus released/shipping (this is more or less solid) 08/06/1995 - Dream Theater: "Acoustic Dreams" ordering begins 09/30/1995 - Dream Theater: "Acoustic Dreams" released/shipping 10/15/1995 - Public Affection: "The Death of a Dictionary" ordering begins 11/15/1995 - Dream Theater: "When Dream and Today Unite" ordering begins 11/30/1995 - Public Affection: "The Death of a Dictionary" released/shipping 12/25/1995 - Dream Theater: "When Dream and Today Unite" released/shipping 02/--/1996 - Rush: To be announced 04/--/1996 - Live or Type O-Negative: To be announced 06/--/1996 - Dream Theater: To be announced Here are a few descriptions to keep your curiosity satiated :) Dream Theater "Subconscious" Released 04/03/1995 - Limited print of 500 copies - sold out Contained Dream Theater rarities including A Change of Season. Rush "Cygnus" Release is imminent - Unlimited print - still taking orders Contains a rare soundboard show from the Hemispheres tour. Dream Theater "Acoustic Dreams" To be released 09/30/1995 - Limited print of 500 copies Contains beautiful unplugged performances. Public Affection "The Death of a Dictionary" To be released 11/30/1995 - Unlimited print Is actually +Live+'s little-known first album, released in 1989, two years before their 1991 breakthrough Mental Jewelry. Demand for this one is skyrocketing, and the Jam gets first shot at it. Dream Theater "When Dream and Today Unite" To be released 12/25/1995 - Limited print of either 500 or 1000. Contains the songs from Dream and Day only with James LaBrie on vocals. Collected from MANY sources and optimized for quality. The following are all "Work in Progress" releases... Rush "A Symptom of Life" - from 12/20/81 2nd gen soundboard Contains a LOT of neat stuff. a LOT. But very long... 2 CD set? Rush "Concordant Crossroads" - from 3/24/81 audience MASTER in stereo This one has unbelievable good sound quality. It's a tossup whether to take this or Symptom, since both are so good but so similar. Rush "Sleight of Mind" - from a remastered 6/25/75 Toronto This tour has been very underrepresented in available material, so who knows, if S.H.'s cleanup efforts turn out good... +Live+ "Disenchanting Discourse" - from a 10/25/94 audience MASTER in stereo It might be released, it might not, depending on many things. If you would like to see it released, please let me know and let as many people know as you can. I tend to find ways to release things when I find an overwhelming demand for them. :) Type O-Negative "Deathgrip" - from a 5/30/94 audience MASTER in stereo A great setlist and decent sound. Only my worries about how many copies I can sell prevent this. I can't undertake anything less than a potential sellout project or I risk going under. Again, if this is a title you'd like to see, you can make it happen. All I need is a lot of interest, and away we go! Dream Theater... oh who knows, there's so much good stuff. Possible shows: Osaka soundboard from late 1992 Hamburg soundboard from spring 1993 Vocalist auditions various excellent DATs recorded in Texas 3. How can I order a copy of Acoustic Dreams? Finally, I am going to go ahead and let the ordering begin, because I can tell everyone's excitement level is peaking at this point. :) I will say this in advance: I expect it to come out 9/30 or thereabouts (I'm going to try and beat my own schedule) and that's two months away, folks. If that dosen't bother you too much, I guess it won't bother me either. However, I'm one of those guys who hates having things take too long. :) I say this because Subconscious took an unbelievably long time to turnaround due to delays in the making of it, and despite my best efforts, Cygnus is going a bit too slow for my taste as well (though it's still within the predicted schedule, it was a schedule I had been planning to beat). So I am trying to jumpstart Acoustic Dreams so there's NO DAMN WAITING. :) Here's the nitty gritty then: RESERVATIONS. I'll take them, to save you a COPY, but not necessarily a _specific copy_. In many cases, people who request special numbers such as birthdays and so on will get them. But people requesting a specific low number are going to find that they're all sold. Which brings me to the next point: ORDERS. The numbering, excepting special requests when possible, will fill in the order I receive the mail orders. It's only fair after all. I'll reserve a copy for someone over e-mail, but if thirty people get their orders in before he or she does, it's not fair for me to still hold copy #014 or whatever. You all get the idea... these decisions are just in the effort to make it fair for all. Please, I stress to all of you, don't miss this if you missed Subconscious. It really does pain me to have to tell a fellow DT fan that there simply aren't any more Sub discs to be had, especially because I would be MORE than glad to sell one if I had it. Blanks, materials, studio time, etc is cheaper per unit for a production line of 1000 than for 500, which is why Cygnus was cheaper for the Ytsejammers. Acoustic Dreams, alas, must remain $25. I was hoping to bring it down to $21 or $20 but that wouldn't be cost effective. I think I may be able to do that for the Public Affection CD, however. Things are pretty simple from here. Send along a money order for $25 bucks to my address, being sure to include a note with your name, the address to ship to, your email address, and WHICH CD you're ordering (after all, Cygnus is still in ordering) and HOW MANY you're ordering. As before, international customers may use whatever means of payment is most convenient for them, though I stress that sending cash is risky and should not be a first option, but a backup plan. :) Also, to pool opinions: would you all want me to include a number list as orders are received? The address and so on is me at: Mike "Acoustic Dreamer" Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 My home telephone number, available as a courtesy to you, is 1-602-777-0501. I am usually not home on weekends (band practice) so try during the week, between noon and 9pm pacific time, for best results. Also, please use discretion when handling this number, as it is, after all, my own home phone, and I will be very confused if a stranger calls at 3:00 AM. :) I trust you Jammers to be cool about it, as you always have in the past. -Mike Bahr, email_address_removed Magic: The Gathering - blue manipulation decks rule! :) "Belgarath, you're lazy."

Thanks guys! I'm going to spend the interim getting Acoustic Dreams together. EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE: DELIVERY IS IMMINENT! I am on a day-by-day standby for picking up all the materials I had ordered. CDs will ship immediately as soon as they can. I have mailing packets stamped and addressed to ALL orders so far (current to 8/5/95) so it's ready to roll... Latest word from the shippers has my materials arriving Tuesday. Here's the no-wait address and cost. Read on for further info on the CD. $23 check, money order, or cashier's check/traveler's cheque to: Michael Bahr 3175 N. Price Rd. #1066 Chandler, AZ 85224 PLEASE SPECIFY that it's Cygnus you want. I do a lot of mailing and may not realize what it is that's being purchased. SUBCONSCIOUS: The CDs are finally _gone_. Every copy has been sold. I've even sold my own personal extra copies. I can't believe this was so popular! Will Subconscious ever be made again? Unless some Italian company copies it, I am sorry to say it will not. One of the explicit conditions I set forth when I made the disc was that it would be very special and limited, and I would be breaking my confidence with the people who have bought it under the understanding it would be a unique, rare release. I swear I don't mean to make people miss out... but a promise is a promise. Would people trust me when I say "get it now" if they could get it a year later? I calculate not. :) 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.

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, 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. It is an unlimited print, but there will likely not be more than 1000 ever made. Here's the information on the show. Title: Rush "Cygnus" Source: True soundboard reel-to-reel, original length 81 min Running time: 73 min Venue: Convention Center Arena (TCC Arena) Location: Tucson, Arizona Date: November 20, 1978 Generation: Transferred to 48kHz 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 I. At the Tobes of Hades II. Across the Styx III. Of The Battle 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 Circumstances A Farewell to Kings Note that La Villa Strangiato had to be cut or else I couldn't fit the Cygnus saga on the CD! I'm sorry about that, I hope it won't kill the experience for anybody. They had some sound problems during that song anyhow, so in a way, maybe you _don't_ want to hear it. 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 have 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!" The cover is pretty wicked looking, I'll try and post a copy. 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 placed the order for Cygnus blanks a few weeks ago. Used a faster supplier. 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. Why, you may ask, should I send the money, if I won't get the CD for a while, though? Well, you don't have to. But you can. I strongly urge you to consider it. Here's why. 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 25 people in the first 300 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! :) Update: I've started making the videos. There are two different all- Dream Theater videos, an all-Live video, and three variations of just prog rock from everywhere including MTV and such, plus a Rush/Led Zep one, plus one with Rush interviews on it. I'm taping them totally randomly for the random inserts into certain lucky mailpackets. 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. Also, it's still $25 for NON-Ytsejammers. Check out my posts to alt.music.rush and a.m.dt, you'll find it's true. Naturally, if you have friends who want a copy of Cygnus, they can get it at the $23 price, same as you Jammers. 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. 3. Orders received. This time, I'm in the thick of the AD 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. Everyone be excellent to each other, and party on dudes! -Mike Bahr, email_address_removed "Or do you still wait for me, Dream (Theater) Giver, just around the riverbend...?" - Pocahontas ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 1995 00:52:21 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Monty) To: email_address_removed Message-ID: First off, I want to apologize if I irritated anybody on the Megadeth issue (if it is an issue). While I do like their lat two albums, I also like some of their older stuff, too. I really like "Hangar 18." (okay, it's not THAT old). Cool song. Also, while I don't really care for the song itself, I do like their cover of "Anarchy..." better than the original. As far as the quote from the Halloween special (cheesy record company idea) having to do with Mustaine being arrogant, I have no idea. I didn't see it, so I am not going to comment on it, other than maybe he meant it more in fun, too (maybe he didn't, I don't know. He does seem to have a somewhat sarcastic tongue). Like I said, I don't know the guy personally, so I can't make a fair judgment on his character (I do feel the same about Metallica here, since I don't know the guys personally, I can't fairly say anything about them when it comes to something like this. It's just that they have turned me off more than Megadeth). It is good to see that we can disagree and still remain civil about it (now, can't we...). Just a side note, the only songs on the Beavis and Butthead Experience CD that were worth anything for me were the Megadeth and Primus tunes (please don't start a debate about this one). Anyway, now that I got that out of the way, I just wanted to ask again about the Ytsejam T-Shirts. I didn't get any response before, so I'll ask again. What do they look like? And How can I get one? To the dudes who made the tapes for me (Subconscious and Lost in the Sky/The Dance of Eternity), I totally dig them. Thanks a lot for doing this for me. I really appreciate it. i'm really looking forward to "Acoustic Dreams." I guess that's all for now. I'll be seeing you all later. God bless. Dale R.

My dad's a lifer musician and usually gave me a hard time about my music (constantlygridlocking me with questions like "When's the new Tesla coming out?"). He actually showed an appreciation for what DT does. In his world John Coltrane is the end all be all. Of course, he may be right. On Megadeth......"So far, so good..." is easily their best complete album! I've seen these guys 3 times and own all of their discs so I can say I've heard a majority of their range. Yes, Marty and Nick are better players than any of their predecessors, but "Hook in Mouth", "Liar", "In My Barkest Hour", "Set the World on Fire"....al of them are true 200 proof Megadeth. I also like a lot of their newer stuff, but this is zenith 'Deth.

I've got a version with Afterlife that sounds incredible...from what shows are you getting your materials?

Message-ID: Brian May was pursuing a PhD. in Astrophysics! Anyone seen or heard from him lately? I saw him live in Cleveland, (A free show at the Agora) when 'Back to the Light' came out and it was a great show. It's been a while though.... Just wonderin'.....

If you get this, I was referring to the Subconscious CD. I tried replying to you directly, but your mailer-daemon said that you didn't exist. Thanks. Sorry guys.

Wicked Maraya Face In the Mirror I just had to give a double thumbs-up to this... I'd rather see "Resurrection" on it, but to see Wicked Maraya being included, period, is enough to make me a very happy camper...

I should be back on friday. I'm gonna do a little camping and fishing. Any MD jammers ever been to Greenbrier State Park near Fredrick? Great place! See ya all! PS- Anyone else aggree that James' best show ever was captured on the Home Sweet Home bootleg? I've been listening to that one recently. It was from a show about 1 week into the Images and Words tour when he was still singing in the I&W's style and not his new rougher style. -- ************************************************************************** * Jason Hartman "I am the Killing Hand!" email_address_removed * * * * You're fighting the weight of the world, * * and no one can save you this time. * * Close your eyes - you can find all you need in your mind. * * * * "Take the Time" - Dream Theater * ************************************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 7 Aug 1995 12:25:23 -0700 (PDT) From: "Paul W.

I'm as bummed about it as y'all are. :( (This chap was kind enough to email me about it after my post to Ytsejam.) Whew, now I'm really glad I flew up to Detroit to see 'em. Couldn't have happened without info from Ytsejam and support from net.friends and the show was worth every penny, or about $260. :) Promotion and Shows =================== No question that EastWest was 'soft' on AWAKE. Lackluster promotion. As far as shows go, there was at least one venue here in Atlanta that was willing to host DT and give them a sizeable 'guarantee.' Fire-code capacity about 4,500 after renovation. They figured DT was good for 1-2,000 tickets EVEN WITHOUT local radio airplay because the band has a good cult following, would draw from several surrounding states with enough (ahem) early warning, and there's been a good underground 'buzz' here about DT. Maybe next tour. :) I'll be more than glad to help arrange things..... -- Once you're touched you stand alone | Paul W.

You are sucking down MY network bandwidth with evil incantations like this. You are the reason I can't get into the places I want to be. You are the reason it take 3 hours to FTP a 3k file. You and those people who want to talk to their relatives for free with the InterPhone (gag... puke... spit...).
