Ramos) To: email_address_removed Subject: CDs outside the US Message-ID: I don't know if I sent this to the wrong adress, so here I go again just in case. I just want to know the reason why there are many CDs that are released in places such as Europe or Japan and are never released in the US. And why is it that many times when a CD is released in the US as well as in Europe or Japan, the foreign version always has extra songs? Is this fair? If anyone knows the answer to any of these questions, please post them up. Thanks. Alexis ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Sep 1995 17:57:58 -0600 (CST) From: "DR.

(just hope he's not teaching solo technique's. he he. kidding. ;) One of my favorite moments was always the transition from Afterlife to TOWHTSTS. That rainy night windshield wipers really sets the mood. Light Fuse and Get Away is awesome and I love that "I can't see where this is going" sample. Anyone know what it's from? Then there's ACOS. So many awesome parts. "Prepare for the fight..." that bit. The cool part where the guitar switches to a clean sound. I can't remember where that is. Many more, but those are some great moments. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Sep 95 20:35:38 -0400 From: Gore_Josh/email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: YTSEJAM digest 904 Message-ID: Item Subject: Message text I'd like my subscription cancelled as soon as possible.

I find DT and prog fans quite rare, as you all do, but I hope I have added to our population. Just a few weeks ago, when I was working doing VB programming, I brought a tape of my DT stuff to work. The company I worked for has around 10 - 15 people, and only 3 in my group. I was playing the music and it stopped... I was playing Solitaire or some silly Windows game since I had done my work and hadn't received any more assignments at that time. The lady, a Russian programmer startled me and said, "How come the music is off?" I wasn't sure if she was meaning she liked the stuff, so I turned the tape around. I asked her if she liked the tape and she said "Yes." I then started introducing her to DT and prog. Her musical tastes include Phantom of the Opera and some Russian stuff (I'm not sure if it's folk or rock). I was pretty excited about that. Now that I'm in university, I don't know what to feed her with. I just had to let you know. BTW: I have been seeing DT shirts around Toronto! I saw one on the subway about half a month ago. During the Engineering Frosh week at the University of Waterloo, I saw somebody with his DT shirt. I was around the engineering building around 9:00 am Tuesday. He disappeared into the A/V office. I think I recognize his face from the Queensryche concert. If you are on this list, pls tell me. BTW: Frosh was AMAZING!! Can't wait to get back... I'll stop spewing now... & on with the regular stuff... >Dan Tshin Shad Valley Carleton '94 SuRvIvOr Web Site URL: http://www.orbonline.net/~danman | _ _ | "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what | ( /V\ ) | he cannot lose." -- Jim Elliot | M | "Love is not just a passing word, it is a state of heart | | | that goes on forever."

Note: KE still plays this as part of his encore >>>medley with ELP. The piece is, of course, "America" from "West Side Story", Leonard Bernsteins modern day version of Shakespeare's (and (BOC's) 'Romeo & Juliet'. Although I don't have any real proof, I believe the basic theme of 'America' is actually from Dvorak's 'New World Symphony'. >>>>>>>Since no one has yet answered this question, I will leave it as a >>>>>>>continuing/new triva question: Which other well-known rockband (not necess. prog) also plays(played) a piece based on the above mentioned Broadway musical? (hint the original composer's name was included in the song credits; new hint, the front man for this band was also a guest on the 'Muppet Show') >>>What other group played a song by the same name as that of the above >>>mentioned piece by KE/Nice? Although this song has the same name, it >>>was compsed by which other contemporary artist? What is the historical >>>significance of this song? Yes did a cover of Paul Simon's "America". This is the first song recorded by Yes with Rick Wakeman on keys; it first appeared on an Atlantic Records ('The Age of Atlantic', I think it was called) compilation album, and later was included on Yes' 'Yesterdays' album, which otherwise is a best of Yes' first two albums (+ some B sides). It was also released in a shortened form as a b-side. Someone suggested an even closer tie betweeen Yes & West Side Story: I don't know, but would appreciate the info. >>>Who was the other member of The NICE (besides KE, Lee Jackson & Brian >>>Davison) and which band did he go to after he left The NICE? Name other >>>famous members of this latter band. The 4th member of The Nice was David O'List, guitarist, who later played with Roxy Music. Other well known members of Roxy Music include Eddie Jobson & John Wetton (later UK). The most well known member from Roxy Music is Brian Eno (Jobson replaced Eno when he left), the well known artist, producer (U2, etc.) & 'god-father' (along w/ Frank Zappa) of progressive/metal rock. >>>On which Black Sabbath song(s) did Rick Wakeman play? Rick Wakeman played keys on Sabbra Cadabra f/ "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" >>>New Trivia questions: What band did Rick Wakeman play with before Yes? What was the complete original name of that band? Which short-term member of this band also made a guest appearance on which Led Zepplin song? What band was this person most closely associated with? >>>Another Yes trivia answer: The original guitarist for Yes left after the second album, Who is he and with which Prog/pop band did he record with in early 80's. (Hint: although they recorded mostly their own songs, they did a cover of another song that was originally partially done in German.) Peter Banks was the original Yes' guitarist (not to be confused w/ Tony Banks, Genesis keys). The band I was looking for was called 'After the Fire' aka 'ATF'. Although this band mostly did original 'Christian-oriented' material, they are/were best known for their cover of 'Der Kommisuer' (sp?) which I believe was originally done by the German pop artist Falco. >>>New Yes Trivia question: Which band did Tony Kaye, original Yes' keys, >>>go to after he left Yes? With whom did he later record a >>>'Christmas'-season song? Although I have yet to catch up reading the recent JAM's, to answer my own question: Yes, Derek was a member of Alice Copper's band in 'Wayne's World' (it says so in the credits at the end of the movie). Unfortunately, he was the only member of the band NOT to have a reasonably good onstage close-up. Not to re-open the short/long hair debate, but he appeared to have reasonably long hair (it was hard to tell; he was mostly back/side-lit in the background). CAN HE BE IDENTIFIED IN ANY OF THE SCENES OF THE AFTER-GIG PARTY SEGMENT (We're not worthy) ??? If you can answer please be relatively precise. Thanks. Well caught up with that. Well, our Fresno area DT DJ (Jeff Freeman at KRZR 103.7 FM) has played some stuff from ACOS on-air. For you locals, he can be reached through the radio station's new Email address : email_address_removed just put his name (Jeff Freeman) in the subject line. They also have a new Web page: www.valleynet.com/krzr I've email corresponded with him. and he has seen a few of the DT Web sites; I've also encouraged him to join the JAM. We'll see.... --Randall L.

This is my first post to Ytsejam. I just received my first issue, and I'm glad I subscribed. I have 2 questions: First, I saw DT back home (on Long Island) at the Malibu in Lido Beach. Echolyn and some really boring thrash band opened. Anyway, I have been hearing rumors that they taped that show to release as a live album. The show was late July (around the 28th or so). Anyone else heard these rumors? Second, I saw many of you writing about your most favorite and least favorite DT moments. My most favorite DT moment is pressing the play button on the CD player, and my least favorite is having to get up to switch CD's. As for "the intro to this" or "the riff to that," yes the songs are complex, but each song is a song unto itself. Each track on the CD (and, in the case of AMBI, each three tracks) is a DT moment. Appreciate the song as a song, as a work of the collective genius of four Long Islanders (and a Canadian). That'll be $0.02, please. *************************************************************** * Christopher R.

The last paragraph of the article I found sort of interesting: "So, far we have only scratched the surface of this exciting concept. If you want to learn more about how to use open-string voicings in different progressions and orchestrations, check out my new instructional video, available on REH Video..." Does this mean it is out now? I haven't heard anybody mention it on the list in awhile and was just curious if anybody knew. And for any other guitarist out there who read Petrucci's articles in GW... how in the hell am I suppose to get those chords he talked about in the September issue!!!!! The Cadd9#11 I can get but that freakin' pinky bend on the Cmaj9 is impossible to hit. Oh well, I guess that's why he gets the big bucks huh :-) Later, Brian ******************************************************************************* *** And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend *** *** "Space-Dye Vest" And I'll never be open again *** *** Dream Theater And I'll have no more dreams to defend *** *** And I'll never be open again *** ******************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 Sep 1995 03:05:01 -0400 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: I want my Ystejam!!!!!

I've only listened to it once, and there are some pretty cool stuff on it. The title song doesn't really surprise you, it is a typical DT song. The song was written in 1989 and was first meant to be on I&W. DT mention something interesting on the CD-cover, they say that the YtseJammers had some influence on why the CD was produced. Now, for something else. It is about Kevin Moore. I love Space Dye-vest and after hearing Eve from the single The Silent Man (I think that mr. Moore had something to do with that song, am I right?), I wonder if someone know if he is planning to release something. I know he has produced a demo (I wish I could hear that), but is he working on a CD-release? T.

They Here's a wild guess: maybe this is the reason why DT decided not to do a tour in support of ACoS. Maybe they were cranking out material like mad (like what happened before Awake got recorded) and decided to postpone a tour until their next album got recorded. Just one fan's opinion.
