I'm Keiji from Japan. I'm listening the song from Working Man---Rush Tribute,yes,it's on the radio right now. To tell the truth,it's my 3rd (maybe 4th) listening from that album. Those are amazing,though I've never had a chance to listen original version. I've heard 'Mission','Jacob's Ladder',and 2 other tracks (sorry I forget song titles,I remember Eric Martin and Jack Russell are singing on those songs). The release date of Working Man--Rush tribute is 1996-07-21. You better check this album. Thanks. -Keiji Nishihara Kyoto,Japan email_address_removed.ac.jp ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1996 01:40:26 -0500 (EST) From: Shawna Lea Adams To: email_address_removed Subject: Rainbow... Message-ID: I don't know Rainbow as well as I know Dio, but when Ronnie James was singing in Rainbow I was definately a fan...I know that I already like both groups (at least the old rainbow stuff) and I would definitely think it way cool for the two groups to go on tour...especially if they did a concert somewhere Boston local (without car hard to get far) :> I would definitely go to the concert...:> (did I already say that??! :>) =============================================================================== | Shawna Lea Adams | Live another day | | Muireann MacOisdealblaigh | Climb a little higher | | Exchequer of Felding Medieval Society | Find another reason to stay | | email_address_removed | Ashes in your hands | | email_address_removed | Mercy in your eyes | | http://wilbur.wellesley.edu/ | If you're searching for a silent | | N-Z/sadams1/sadams1.html | sky... | | | -Dream Theater "Another Day" | =============================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Jun 1996 23:03:14 -0700 (PDT) From: Mithrandir To: email_address_removed Subject: Power Windows review Message-ID: Howdy boys and girls!!! Well I went to see the RUSH cover band Power Windows last night and I must say they were great as usual. Here is my point though. The bar at which I saw them has a five disc changer that they let play in between sets. Well much to my delight they had Awake in the changer. Imagine my surprise when I was expecting to hear something like the Rolling Stones when all of the sudden I hear "The Mirror". I was making it known that I know the song real well when the drummer came up to me and asked if I liked DT. I said Hell yes. He told me that he is from N.J. and is a good friend of Mike Portnoy's and that he is going to go see PW play in N.Y.C. in the next few weeks. So anyway he goes back on stage and starts warming up before the next set, next thing I hear is the drum intro to 6:00 and even the keyboardist cut in, then the guitarist. Unfortunately the bass player-singer did not know how to play the tune. After the show I asked the drummer if they could play it ( they sometimes will throw in The Immigrant Song). He said they are going to rehearse it before Mike sees them so they can surprise him. Just figured that was pretty cool. Wedge it looks like you should have talked Cat into coming down, you missed a whopper of a show!!! As Skadz said, if anyone wants to answer my question about the battle between a Star Destroyer and the Enterprise, just e-mail me, not the jam. Results so far: Star Destroyer 7 Enterprise 1 Elen sila lumenn omentilmo, Mithrandir ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1996 02:02:32 -0400 From: email_address_removed (Ernesto Schnack) To: email_address_removed Subject: bye-bye Message-ID: I have a question about Load. I know that Metallica is forbidden in this list, but I'm unsuscribing tomorrow so :P besides, it has nothing to do w. the music so I don't think Skadz will mind... anyways, Load came out on Elektra right? so why does my CD say Vertigo on it? and not a sight of Electra anywhere.. Is that the label on which it was released in Europe or something? then what's it doing in Panama?!?!? yes I am unsubscribing... I'm off to Germany to study sound engineering... see you all next time I get net access Funky Cold Medina Ernie :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1996 01:49:19 -0500 From: email_address_removed (Mathew) To: email_address_removed Subject: dtc.....sort of Message-ID: hi all. i just finished listening to sfam, and i just wanted to say, great job mike! also, i kinda liked chris c. on acos. is he with a band now? e.t.c. later all! mathew ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Jun 1996 02:07:24 -0700 (MST) From: Michael Bahr To: email_address_removed Subject: NEW CD INFORMATION! TOTALLY IMPORTANT! HONEST!! :) Message-ID: Are the Jams getting shorter??? :) Critical Mass: I'll be checkin' UPS in the morning... I hope I got 'em in on time... it's like Christmas every time I have a new project coming out. METALLICA: THE WRATH OF GOD! I have a date and venue for this AND the next CD after it. HEre's the important info. IMPORTANT: Can ANYONE on the Jam lend me (I'm willing to rent 'em) a pair of CORE SOUND MICROPHONES? I bought a relatively decent mic for my DAT locally, thinking I could put off the inevitable and buy Cores later, and the stupid thing is blown out already. I need to get a set of Cores _THIS WEEK_ and I would have them through the first week of August. If you can help me with this, there's free CDs, free prizes, and lunch a la Bahr in store for ya!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! :) This is totally crucial. Call me voice if you need to... use 1-800-collect if you're broke. 602-777-0501 or 602-730-1295 (the computer line; usually useless). I'll pay for you to next-day airmail them to me. Here's the final word... Metallica "The Wrath of God" (possible 2-CD set depending on the setlist) Lollapalooza '96, Compton Terrace, Chandler, Arizona (yay!!) July 27, 1996 *** ORDERING WILL OPEN JULY 28, 1996 *** Tori Amos "Inside The Storm" (likely a single containing all the rare tracks or b-sides played) Symphony Hall, Phoenix, Arizona - July 2, 1996 *** ORDERING WILL OPEN JULY 3, 1996 *** Dream Theater "Precious Things" (a special single CD with some very rare tracks on it) *** ORDERING WILL OPEN IN AUGUST *** I hope you all found this information useful.

I saw in a local hard rock/metal paper (DC/MD/VA) that SAvatage will be at Jaxx in Springfield, VA on July 12. The Savatage home page has no dates listed. I would love to see Savatage... Did anyone see Crossroads with Tori Amos on VH1? She does 4 songs, Losing my Religion (REM), I'm on Fire (Springsteen), Sugar (original), and Over the Rainbow (wizard of oz). Like Skadz said Tori unplugged tomorrow night at 9pm EST. How much more unplugged can she get? |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pat Daugherty email_address_removed | | "Every breath leaves me one less to my last" --Dream Theater | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jun 96 13:48:19 EDT From: Dave Fernquist To: "INTERNET:email_address_removed" Subject: Re:D.T./Rainbow Tour Message-ID: Chris wrote: > .....

What do you guys think? Where the hell do I get my tickets!!!!!! I think that this would be a great idea as long as both bands got a full set. Rainbow does kick ass (although I haven't heard the new CD, which is available as an import only. Anybody know who is in the band? I don't believe that Joe Lynn Turner is singing for Ritchie this time around). Hasta.

Moo. Oh, yeah, again, I haven't read any jams but this one since my last post, so please forgive me if I fuck up or cause some other disturbance. Oh, and no cow tipping jokes please. (Yes, I know you guys. :) I saw Jars of Clay in Orlando last Tuesday. Anyone heard of them? They're a Christian band, but they have a video. I saw it on the Box... Flood. Mostly acoustic guitar oriented band. Pretty cool. Oh yeah, I FINALLY got my hands on LiT!!! Hooah! This video kicks ass. I'm gonna get me a lifetime supply of that cow-spotted condom... :) I was just browsing through a music (as in CDs) store in Fl. and I just happened to check out the video section to see if (yeah right) they had LiT... and they did! One copy... I was actually considering leaving it so other DT fans could experience the same joy I did, but then I said fuck it and bought it. Call me selfish... :) Oh, and BTW, in the CD section DT was spelled TheatER. Unbelievable. This is some music store folks... Camelot.

'Course, you notice there's not much chance of EVER getting to use this yourself... That's something I've noticed about Bafu's witticisms: (not even gonna bother and try to spell it... :) you can never use them later. He had to think of them all on the spot cuz most of 'em are comebacks to stuff you just don't hear that often... Bafu: how 'bout some usabler (as in more usable) witty comebacks, please? :) > >Dan's 10 favorite guitarists whom you must all bow down to: > >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > apparently people are still forgetting that top ten lists are a no-no on > the jam. oh well.

The Cow God went out to buy 'Load' today. But The Cow God got more than he bargained for. The Cow God came home with Metallica 'Load' (some of it is cool but it's NOT Metallica!), RatM 'Evil Empire' (Kicks Major Cow! My first RatM CD. RapCore is cool!), and a new Sony D-321 Discman. Hehe. Oh and I saw Twister. That movie is REALLY cool. Best movie I've seen in a while. If you haven't seen it by now (yeah, right) go see it NOW! I know, it's been said before, but hey, the experts agree... > >Paganini, > > Hey, I've actually heard that band... was a while back though, don't > remember much... unless you're talking about the actual classical composer... Yep, that was my vote and I was voting for none other than Nicolo Paganini, composer of The 24 Caprices, Perpetual Motion (both of which I can play... wait, is that bragging? OK, don't read that last line. :), etc. -------- > From: Ben Laussade > Subject: WoOt! > > 'Tallica is cool. WAS cool, I would say... Well, actually, no, There are a few cool songs on Load, but they're not Metallica. Hero of the Day and King Nothing are my favs. King Nothing is prob'ly the song that sounds most like I feel Metallica should. Hold on, that doesn't say what I want to. MoP is my fav. of their albums, followed by AJfA. I like these way more than Load, but King Nothing rocks the most off Load (IMO - whoa, I don't think I've ever used that before...). Sorry if the Ytse-fad is not talking about Metallica now... i was getting ready to send this message but couldn't then I went to Orlando for a week and a half... ------ > From: email_address_removed > Subject: It Barks, But It Ain't No Dog. > > Neil G's joke: I thought it was funny.

Message-ID: Oh yeah, just a quick addition: If you want to contact me (like to reply to something I said in a post), please do so personally (email_address_removed) as I am currently not able to read many jams, just a few at random. Skadz, ACOS is not on LiT. I think that's it for now, talk to you all later. Thanks.

Ponder, for a minute, the question: Who defines popular music, and what makes it popular? My wife has started going back to school, and this is the subject for an essay she is to write for her writing class. Now for the DTC. She remembers me mentioning how there were discussions on here a while back about how Green Day and other bands were making millions of dollars, while true musicians like DT weren't nearly as well known (whether DT's unknown-ness is a good thing or not is better left to another thread). So she was thinking of basing her essay on the following question: Dream Theater is much better musically than Green Day, but Green Day is the one that is "popular". Why? So I was interested in hearing other peoples' comments about this. In addition to opinions (which always seem to be in abundance around here, and of which I have a few of my own =), I'm also interested in factual statements that support the fact that DT is musically superior to GD (ie, how many songs of GD contain just 3 chords, maybe mention what those chords are, about how many time-changes are there in the average DT song, etc). I hope this isn't too inappropriate to the list, but I've tried to present this in a non-flame-inducing way (ie, the subject does NOT say, GREEN DAY SUCKS! Of course, that probably means I won't get many responses :p). If you wish to give lengthy opinions that go on many tangents (which are usually the best responses!), then you may just want to send email to me only. Anyway, converse amongst yourselves for a while; I'm curious what some of you think. Happy 'jamming!

The 20th anniversity Boston Tour has been cancelled/suspended. Tom Scholz received a hand injury. I am depressed. This was one of the few decent acts coming to Merriweather...
