Yes, you got me into DT, but I think I returned the favor somewhat by telling you about Ytsejam and about ACOS. by the way, after this weekend, I will have some stuff to play for you. SOmebody sent me some DT stuff on tape that I KNOW you don't have. Later all. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Oct 1995 02:39:23 -0400 (EDT) From: NEFARiOUS To: email_address_removed Cc: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 1003 Message-ID: > Did DT intentionally mess around with Bohemian Rhapsody? > > I mean, they started at the end, and somehow finished up in the middle :) > > Graham B.

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. QUICK UPDATE: The CDs are IN and SHIPPING! They look GREAT and I hope you will all thoroughly enjoy them. ============================================================================ 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? 4. Orders received. ============================================================================ 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 Subconscious CD has 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, I have Acoustic Dreams on tap. Well, this is the current 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. 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. 2. What is the release schedule? Here is the current schedule of releases as I see it (all dates estimated): NOW - Rush: "Cygnus" released/shipping NOW - Dream Theater: "Acoustic Dreams" released/shipping 10/30/1995 - Dream Theater: "When Dream and Today Unite" ordering begins 12/15/1995 - Dream Theater: "Scenes From a Memory" ordering begins 12/25/1995 - Dream Theater: "When Dream and Today Unite" released/shipping 01/30/1996 - Dream Theater: "Scenes From a Memory" released/shipping 02/--/1996 - Public Affection: "Death of a Dictionary", details TBA 03/--/1996 - Rush: To be announced 04/--/1996 - Live or Type O-Negative: To be announced 05/--/1996 - Dream Theater: To be announced Here are a few descriptions to keep your curiosity satiated :) Dream Theater "Subconscious" Released 04/03/1995 - Limited Edition - 500 copies - sold out Contained Dream Theater rarities including A Change of Seasons. All copies were hand initialed/numbered in gold for authenticity. Rush "Cygnus" Released 08/14/1995 - Limited Edition - 1000 copies - still available Contains a rare soundboard show from the Hemispheres tour. Dream Theater "Acoustic Dreams" Released 09/30/1995 - Limited Edition of 500 copies - still available Each copy is hand signed/numbered in silver for authenticity. Contains beautiful unplugged performances. 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. Some of these still need quality boosts. (Light Fuse, STS...) Dream Theater "Antiquities" Details TBA - Limited print of either 500 or 1000. Each copy will be hand signed/numbered for authenticity. Will contain vocalist auditions, demos, errata, outtakes, unfinished works, unreleased tracks, and the like. Public Affection "The Death of a Dictionary" Details TBA - 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. The following are all "Work in Progress" releases... Rush other titles I'm considering (for any of the given shows): Land's Edge, Storm World, Lifeforce, Arena of the Ancients... 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. :) I also have an audience DAT from 8/8/95, which is pretty damn good. I may synthesize the two shows to get all the "Rare" songs onto the CD. (Freaks, Supernatural, Breakin' Up, Jewelry songs, etc.) 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! So far I've had a few positive replies... much much more are needed though. Dream Theater... oh who knows, there's so much good stuff. Possible shows: Osaka soundboard from late 1992 Hamburg soundboard from spring 1993 various excellent DATs recorded in Texas 3. How can I order a copy of Acoustic Dreams? As stated before, I'm already shipping the CDs by and by. I ship orders in the order I received your checks, so those of you who sent your mail around 8/15 when ordering began, those will be the first CDs out the door. I usually get a couple dozen a day into the mail. Feel free to e-mail me to reserve a copy for you, so that your mail will have a copy allocated to it already (and not be a victim of "no-more- disc-syndrome"). I've still got more available. 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. :) CHECKS: I don't really mind them, but in the effort to be seen as a serious and responsible net merchant, I always recommend the traceable-both-ways Money Order as a preferred form of payment. So while checks are perfectly OK, they may or may not be the option you choose to take. The address and so on is me at: Mike Bahr - Acoustic Dreams 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 6pm and 11pm 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. Also... watch your time zones! I had one fellow calling at 6:00 AM. Owch! 4. Orders received. This is NOT "reservations"... it's paid-for orders. If you have a reservation, it's still valid, trust me. :) These are just the numbers that are filled. Also there are a handful of "saved numbers" in there. 001 Master 002 Press Master A 003 Press Master B 004 Mike Bahr 005 Justin Poulter 006 Steve McMaster 007 David Fox 008 Robert Dalton 009 Chris King 010 Michael Burstin 011 Brian Cox 012 Scott Hansen 013 Mike Portnoy 014 Mike Portnoy 015 Mike Portnoy 016 Bracken Odiorne 017 John Nguyen 018 Nathan Bradley 019 Mike Engelhardt 020 Todd Masek 021 Johan Moore 022 Mark Tedhams 023 Brian Fieg 024 Adam Japhet 025 Steve Chew 026 Kristian Reyes 027 Alan Wilds 028 Jeff Stewart 029 Matt McIntosh 030 Brian Polka 031 Stephan Dobay 032 Dale Newberry 033 Scott Hansen 034 Sanjeev Ghai 035 Sanjeev Ghai 036 Mike Robinson 037 Paul Poehler 038 Lisa Gaunt 039 Tracy Mangum 040 Jeff Forte 041 Robert Castilone 042 Bracken Odiorne 043 Jean-Francois Cote' 044 Uffe Moller 045 Steve Esterle 046 Chad Smith 047 Scott McCammon 048 David Edwards 049 Craig Newmeyer 050 Partha Mukhopadhyay 051 Dave Silva 052 Dave Silva 053 Dave Silva 054 Dave Silva 055 Robert MacAusland 056 Jason Breitweg 057 Demetris Papallis 058 Adam Marshall 059 Paul Goracke 060 Andrew Garinger 061 Alex Fraser 062 Uffe Moller 063 Fred Ward 064 Matt Masi 065 Iwahori Tomonori 066 Iwahori Tomonori 067 Michael Backof 068 Brian Ross 069 Anna Davidson 070 Kjetil Nordahl 071 Kjetil Nordahl 072 Kjetil Nordahl 073 Bill Wrightson 074 S.

A company that I used to work for had to give a large Internet demonstration to some local business people, and they decided to use the Imax Theater for the show. Needless to say they wanted a cool open to grab some attention, so they asked me to put something together. So I put together a bunch of 1 sec. clips of various sites and put them into an hardware mpeg, but the piece was still missing something... sound. Here was my chance. Picture this, a forty foot screen flashing cool images, and the Imax sound system blasting the opening to Metropolis. It still gives me shivers. Chad David P.S.

I really can't be bothered to read them. Man, I am so sorry. I guess we all forgot that this mailing list is not the Ytsejam, but in fact is the GrahamBjam! D'oh! How stupid could we be? How could us lowly souls presume to "bother" you with our trivial, meaningless thoughs? I for one am OUTRAGED! I demand restitution!! NO MORE POSTS LONGER THAN 3 LINES!!! NO MORE SIGS!! To hell with thoughts, discussion, debate, interests, individuality! Ban the long post!!! >I much prefer witty one-liners, or short messages with a point, which us >'jammers seem to be good at, So the duck said, that's not my wife!!! HA-HA! A witty one-liner! :P >than the awful neverending note-by-note analyses >of every single song, which are also regrettably common on the list. Who cares what the song's about? ACoS has a meaning? Can you describe it in less that 10 words? No? Then forget it! It's bothersome! I WANT SENSELESS BABBLE!! (but please, nothing longer than my...;) ---------- Well, I hope you get the meaning... I love the long posts. I never thought about 6:00 untill I read that review. Man was not made to think in short strings on information. By saying, "Don't bother me with your long posts", it's like saying, "You want me to READ Moby Dick? Are you kidding?!? Get me the Reader's Digest version of the Cliff Notes please. I may be able to get through that." :) And before you throw all the "bandwith" crap at me, and "I pay per MB of mail storage", and "My cats don't like me spending so much time reading mail and ignoring them", I understand. Just keep in mind that some of us don't. You can always do what others have done. If we, and a band you like, are bothering you... just unsubscribe! Oh well... back to the long posts... this could take a while! dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more...

Message-ID: Hi, folks! Just a short message to let you know that "A Change of Seasons" (yes, the song!) was played in the radio yesterday night - well, part of it. They started with the passing train (at 18:35 or so) and played it to the end. Exciting, isn't it? ;) Bye! - Andreas - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Oct 1995 20:07:54 -0700 From: email_address_removed (praxxix) To: email_address_removed Subject: . Message-ID: You know, I don't think I could live very well without Dream Theater music. Don't worry, I'm not getting suicidal or anyhting, it's just that it's so much more than just notes. It means more to me than any other music.

As for your suggestion on writing, that's not really my style, seeing as how I prefer to write quiet, non-controversial stuff, but I'll do my best to be more "wit-like." To Ytsejammer: (The, not all you guys) >actually not italian, but SPANISH for "My language (tongue), my language >.. it leaves from my mouth" (i guess it could be more poetic, but f*ck it >for now ) :)... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dost thou not see the irony of thy posting? >Hmm, back to dream theater! I think ACOS was FAR too short, maybe DT >should strive for the 74 minute song (to fit a CD) or maybe a symphony >with 3 parts and a coda :) .. haha i'm just kidding of course. (Deja vu?) No, I believe it was a laserdisc box-set. The infamous Dream Theater 24-hour jam session, covering every Floyd, Rush, and Maiden tune ever written. Available as an instructional video. "Practicing With Dream Theater. Volume I." To Will: >I don't think people should get pissed off about changing lyrics although >I'm not aware of what happened exactly. I always change lyrics usually >to make them funny and have sexual connotations, while making the changes >as minimal as possible. What happened is, I unwittingly called someone a "stinky pinky bottle'a inky" in one of my now-infamous Bullshit Letters, and they took it the wrong way. It turns out their parents were killed by a giant bottle of ink that fell out of the sky. And the flames ensued. To Mike Bahr: >Well, the votes are in, and the new Cd for after WDATU, with rarities >and demos and vocal auditions will be titled... > "Mercy Fuck" > Any feedback is appreciated. Sounds somewhat volatile, equivalent perhaps to coming out with a "Best of Los Angeles" cd with the title "Rodney King."
