One is in New London, CT on Dec. 27th and the other is in Old Bridge, NJ on Dec. 29th. Does anyone know if there are any more scheduled shows? I must admit that I am posting this before reading some recent 'jams. If anyone has word of some more shows or a complete schedule, that would be a great thing to post. If something has been posted I apologize. I live in North Carolina and I'm finally considering making the trek to one (or both) of these shows. I really want to find out other dates since I have never seen them live :( . Any news is greatly appreciated.

Joe Kruger ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 22:31:31 -0400 (EDT) From: The Digital Man To: Ytse Jam Subject: 5 influential albums Message-ID: I forget who started this thread, but I think it's a great idea! Hmm... my picks as to the 5 most influential albums from the past ~20 years? I'd say: 1) Van Halen/Van Halen: Eruption. 'Nuff said. 2) Rush/Moving Pictures: The one that introduced almost everyone to Rush. Where would we be... 3) Nirvana/Nevermind: Not that it was anything to write home about, but it got guitar-based music back onto MTV (the barometer of all that influences the general public), and said, "It's once again ok to just flat-out rock." 4) The Who/Tommy: Probably the first well-known "concept album" 5) Metallica/Master of Puppets: Yeah, the die-hard metal heads had all been listening to Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer before this one came out, but the song "MoP" broke the whole thing wide open, and somehow legitimized metal as an artform. Seems to me that speed metal is the last art form we've seen that is truly American. (yeah, yeah, Lars is European. Bite me.) I have been known to change my .sig with great frequency, but I think this one is gonna stay for a while.

Lifting Shadows Off a Dream is so beautiful. Then the guitar and vocal on Wait for Sleep are too much(better than the Tokyo video). But the best thing is the U2 cover at the end of the CD. The sound quality is the worst on the album(the others are all studio quality) but James's voice will knock you over even with the poor sound quality. If you don't have it yet. You have to get a copy of Acoustic Dreams. Thanks Mike Bahr. Its the best purchase I've made all year. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 22:36:53 -0400 (EDT) From: An Angel's Kiss... To: email_address_removed Subject: RE: a few things Message-ID: just gotta make a few comments: 1.) testicular cancer is not fatal by itself, i don't think - the problem is when it metastasizes (spreads) to other parts of the body - that is when you're up shit's creek.... anyway, I don't think that KM has cancer at all...pretty crappy thing to post, if ya ask me 2.) At the end of the last track in "Chasing Time", I guess they threw in an outtake of the studio rehearsal of "Monument" - Ray screws up the lyrics and finishes it off by swearing a bit...pretty funny when I hear it....but it IS profanity, so I say we all lynch him and hang him by his nuts eh? which brings me to another point......lighten up people this is not a flame at all (and even if it is, I really don't give a shit), but making judgments about the language people use is really ignorant (calling FW tasteless for putting that on the CD, or DT disappointing for using fuck in one of the songs) and retarded.... if you don't like it, then don't listen to that particular thing...re-dub it and censor it for yourselves.... i for one am sick of hearing it, and i'm sure im not the only one.... there i vented....:P hmm...i was gonna put something else down too, but i forgot...shit anyway, if anyone is planning some kinda meeting before the NJ show, post it. Maybe we can meet at the White Castle (yum, yum) on Rt. 9 before the show or something......I got a ticket, but I'm being optimistic about going, gotta wait and see how my leg and arm hold up in the next 2 mos..... later all, Al Balkiewicz vocals, Half Naked " a smile from lips that have never seen joy - emotional apocalypse" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 22:03:13 -0500 (CDT) From: Kyle Mallett To: email_address_removed Subject: The Mission, Shadow Gallery, women, & singers Message-ID: Greetings, I did something today I do not normally do. I paid $17.31 for a cd I had never heard before. I surprisingly found Shadow Gallery-Carved In Stone at one of the few record stores in town. I had heard so much about them I couldn't resist (I also had a few extra $ then usual). So, I bought it. It is good. I hesitate to compare them to DT, because to do so might give some inaccurate perceptions. However, their sound is closer to DT than any other band I've heard. I recommend the album, but take no responsibility for those who don't like it. I have taken chances like this before and gotten screwed. It's nice for it to work out sometimes. Somebody recently asked about song titles that were used by various bands. Well, THE MISSION, which was mentioined is also a song by Kin'gs X. I also think Magellan uses that title. I know there are many other examples, but I can't think of them now. Someone also asked recently about the lack of women in progressive music, both as fans and participants. Well, I have also noticed that, to some degree. But there are a few exceptions. the band Sky Cries Mary, which has a female vocalist, has been compared somewhat to King Crimson. I haven't heard enough of them to criticize or endorse. Also, there is an all female band called Velvet Hammer which is often discussed on the King's X mailing list. They are supposedly in the same vain as King's X, but with flute and keys (and obviously female vocals). They have a home page, but I don't recall the addresss. I have also never heard them. Favorite vocalists (some) Jon Anderson James Adrian Belew Jon Wetton Layne Staley Ray Weston (echolyn) these are in no particular order. Kyle ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Oct 1995 20:33:50 -0700 From: email_address_removed (Rain King) To: email_address_removed Subject: Savatage and Fates Warning (NDTC) Message-ID: Hello all: Well, on the advice of many 'Jammers I went out to the Blockbuster Music near me and abused the listening bar with a few CDs. I tried Saga's _Generation 13_ (woah! a little too progressive for me...any Saga fans out there that can recommend a better album to start with?...maybe a run-down of all of their albums?), and Eric Johnson's _A-ve Music_ (?...something like that...it had a famous song on there that I never knew he did [track 2]...can't remember the name, though...wasn't in that type of mood to pick it up). I also listened to Savatage's _Handfull of Rain_ and _Edge of Thorns_. Well...not quite exactly what I expected. I was shocked by their slower, more "musical" passages (you know, the kind of music that you would play for your mom, and then when the hard part kicks in it would just knock her on her...ahem...fanny [hey...can't say a** when referring to Mom!]). The only problem I had with their music was Zach Steven's voice. (Hear me out on this, please.) Don't get me wrong, on the slower parts his voice is soooo awesome, esp on _EoT_ (on _HoR_ his voice had a little more of an edge to it, even on the slower parts). But when the heavy parts set in, all I could think of was Ronnie James Dio. He sounded almost just like him, only a few pitches higher (not a whole octave, 'cuz the two bands mostly play in different keys). I was more (right away) impressed with _Strange Highways_ by Dio, so I would recommend that you 'Jammers check that one out, also 'cuz Best Buy has it for $4.99 on cut-out. :) Now, I give much kudos to Savatage, but I think it will have to grow on me a little more, so I am going to be going back often, at least until I have money to splurge and by both _HoR_ and _EoT_. There is no doubt in my mind that if I gives these guys more of a chance (see money issue above) that they will MOST DEFINITELY grow on me. In fact, I kinda wished I had bought one of them now. Well, I needed to buy something, 'cuz ever since I sent off the money to Mike Bahr for AD (back in August) I have been restraining myself. So, I decided to FINALLY pick up _Parallels_ by Fates Warning. I borrowed it from one of my friends a while back and was EXTREMELY impressed, so I knew that I would be taking NO chances on buying this one. It is simply AWESOME! Well, I will leave you all to your senses and invite those of you who are more versed with the following bands to send me catalog critiques of them, especially from those of you who have quite a few of their albums. Eric Johnson Yngwie Malmsteen Paradise Lost Saga Savatage or any other bands whom you live by and want me to check out.

WOOO!!! Message-ID: Thanx to all who answered the "who is Geoff Downes" question. But Asia dodn't die after the debut. They went on to write exceptional prog. rock songs, up until and including last year!!! Here's a list: ASIA ALPHA ASTRA ***LIVE IN MOSCOW*** (A MUST have!!!) THEN AND NOW (Greatest hits through 1989) AQUA -released in 1992, very dark, and non-pop sounding ARIA - released in 1994, even better than AQUA, great key-work! I definatly recommend all of these albums. They aren't as complex and/heavy as DT (obviously), but the band desearves a second listen. Especially (but NEVER limited to) keyboardists! Hi Ryan, yes, funny, it definately caught my attention!!! STYLES ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Oct 1995 04:17:19 -0400 (EDT) From: The Digital Man To: Ytse Jam Subject: Malibu show Message-ID: Hey kiddies. I've noticed that a lot of folks are talking about meeting up before the Malibu show, but nobody has been specific. So, I'm going to be specific. If anybody has a better idea, post it. For now, here's my plan: There's a Roy Rogers about 1-1/2 miles west of the club. I chose this place because there's no turns involved between it and the club, and it's at a major intersection, which is a good landmark. Roy's is at the corner of Park Blvd. (aka Lido Blvd.) and Long Beach Blvd. in Long Beach. All you gotta do is leave the Malibu parking lot, turn left, and watch for signs that say "Long Beach Rd., Rockville Centre" or something. These signs immediately precede a huge intersection. Roy's is on the far right corner, next to a movie theater. What say we all meet there at 6:00 (Hey! That's a good name for a song! Think it's been taken yet?). This'll give us time for meet'n'greet, chow, and getting to the club to get our faces up to the stage for the "rilly big shew." Good? Bad? Also, how many of you would be interested in an after-show party? I might be able to reserve my firehouse, which is about 10 mi. from Malibu, for the night. If not, we can all meet at a bar. My guitarist's friends own a bar in Long Beach (I don't remember the name off hand). What do you guys think? -Chris ******************************************************************************** /~~~~\ /~~~~~~~\ / V~\ -Whoa! That was cool!

The directions already posted say that you can take I-495, the Long Island Expressway, to the Meadowbrook Pkwy. THIS IS WRONG! YOU WILL GET LOST! You can take the LIE, but you must get off at the exit that says "Northern State Pkwy. to Jones Beach" or something. The exit is in the 30's somewhere, I think. It's right after the Roslyn Rd. exit (if you're going east. If you're going west on the LIE, then you probably already know where you're going.) The exit is for NSP East only. Once you get on the NSP, the MP exit is 2 exits away, exit 31A (not 31 as previously reported.)

I fell in love with Awake and IW, and listened to Ytsejam a lot, but couldn't get into Charlie's voice. But I find that his voice grew on me, and I can listen to WDADU with the same passion I have for everything else DT has put out. So, give WDADU more of a chance, because Charlie's voice needs some getting used to, but it might just grow on you. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Oct 1995 01:44:44 -0500 From: email_address_removed (S. Craig Caldwell) To: email_address_removed Subject: Favorite Guitarists/bands Message-ID: OK, my turn (including favorite "guitar-oriented" tracks by each): 1) John Petrucci - Erotomania 2) Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover, of course!! 3) Nuno Bettencourt - Pornograffiti (incredible solo!) 4) Steve Morse - Highland Wedding (off his "solo" release "High Tension Wires" - GREAT album!!) 5) Joe Satriani - Since his stuff is pretty much all instrumental, I can't think of any titles right off.... Other favorites include Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson, Vito Bratta (YES I remember him - best guitar work was on White Lion's LEAST popular but BEST album - "Mane Attraction" - check it out in your local "cut-out" bin!!), Steve Vai ("For The Love Of God" on "Passion And Warfare" - WOW!), Rik Emmett, etc. Fave non-DT bands (Lots of surprises here, I'm sure!!! ): 1) Rush 2) Yes 3) Marillion 4) Fates Warning 5) Queensryche Others...Boston, Extreme, Triumph, Zebra (What ever happened to them?), Winger (check out their THIRD album - "Pull" - Great stuff, NOT the bubble-gum rock of their first two), Elton John, Journey, Genesis.....

They still think as women to be dancing bambies or some wierd ( Mtv?)or just another Tory Amos or their product won't sell. cirtainly with now that the whole hard rock scene is kinda going underground now it's hard for bands with guys to land deals ( if you know how to play your instrument and know that "mode" is something from music theory ......Cya!) so there is not much encourage-ment for our female friends to do much is there??? but I may be wrong on this so any other ideas?? (speaking of female shredders ..any body heard Phantom Blue??? how are they?) Somebody mentioned epics...does Ecoes by Pink Floyd count (from meddle) and how about Shine on you crazy diamond(part i to ix ) ?? alsoo don't forget Rime of the ancient mariner, 7th son of a 7th son ( Iron Maiden) enouth rambling for now .... have fun:) Minhaz ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Oct 1995 04:01:29 -0700 (PDT) From: Steve Borzilleri To: Dream Thespians Subject: YJ #1061 Message-ID: /\ /~~~~~~~/~\ "I know EXACTLY where the poison is!

Assignments of the song have already been made, but if you would like to participate, let me know. Since the TAB book from Warner Bros. does not seem like it will happen, this is one way of getting a fairly good transcription. I will post updates periodically about the progress (and I mean periodically, not every week). Thanks to all who have shown interest.

Joe Jackson, Hometown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ One time I was thinking about that. How come there are so few women in talented bands? There are plenty in pop and alternative, but very few in progressive rock or metal. Is it because women just aren't talented? Then it occurred to me that at practically every classical concert I've been to, 90% of the string section (and a good bit of the rest of the orchestra) is female. Now, it's not like I've been to millions of classical concerts, but this has always seemed to be the case. Anyone else notice anything similar? Not that this really explains anything... -Max Anton Max Keyboards, Aepithex MadMax+@cmu.edu ------------------------------ From: "Randall W. Aquino" Subject: DT and Christianity Someone was inquiring about the use of Christian themes in Dream Theaters songs, well I think this is a good thing. At least they aren't talking about negative things that don't set a good example for people. Even if DT aren't Christians I think it's cool that they talk about Christian themes. Does anyone know if DT are Christians? ------------------------------ From: "Brian V. Cox" Subject: chris duarte group i saw someone mention duarte last jam. i just have to say the guy is phenomenal. he even has a **seven** string bass player. i had never in my life seen a 7-string bass. also, frosty from soulhat is now playing drums with him. frosty looks about 60 or 65 years old, but he is one of the best drummers i have ever seen. if you go to see duarte, keep in mind that the band allows taping, and will even let you plug directly into the board. so if you dont have a walkman or whatever, just rip your tape deck out of your rack, and take it with you :) i have taped a few shows on DAT off the soundboard if anyone wants copies.. btw, duarte is alot like stevie ray vaughan, he is even based out of austin. he is nowhere near as good as srv yet, but he has tons of pontential... ------------------------------ From: Eiji Hirai Subject: situation puzzles This is sort of off-topic but if you want a canonical list of these "situation puzzles," look at: http://einstein.et.tudelft.nl/~arlet/puzzles/situation.html The fifty-three bicycles story is sort of a standard one from the list.
