Awake has this amazing drum sound where you can hear every last splash and mini-tom, but the album itself is mixed a bit too thickly to appreciate the drum sound much. Those of you who want to be blown away by how good Mike's drum sound can be, must either go see them in concert, or buy the Progressive Drum Concepts video, and listen to the drum exhibition version of Erotomania. (It was also played thus at the clinics). With the drums more heavily accented in the mix, the rhythm has a lot of bite, and the song itself seems to get a lot better in the process. The Bruce Dickinson session tracks from Acoustic Dreams also feature this accent on the drums, though not as soundly, and the Take The Time demo from TSM single is yet another good example. - Mike Bahr/email_address_removed- An independent Equinox representative ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Feb 1997 15:37:33 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed (Dan Temmesfeld) To: email_address_removed Subject: D.Zappa "Confessions"...

All Bay Area jammers who weren't there totally missed out. Aside from the first opening band, which sucked ass, the concert was amazing! The second opening act was a 3-piece instrumental outfit called "The Doppler Effect", led by guitarist Doug Doppler (drummer is Atma Anur, who has recorded with a lot of Shrapnel guys, I believe). I had never heard of them, and had no idea what to expect. GUITARISTS TAKE NOTE: Doug Doppler is a phenomenal new talent. This guy was shredding with taste, and style - totally blew me away in 45 minutes of pure guitar frenzy and melody. I bought his disc on the spot, and he signed it after the show - a class act all the way.. Sticker on the disc reads: "Doug Doppler has a great guitar sound. It's Uncanny. - Joe Satriani... I've heard the best and he's right up there - soulful. - Neal Schon" I must agree!! Then Gary came on - he put on a fantastic show. He was right on top of all of his great tunes, including the monster "Hocus Pocus" for the encore. He also played an extremely impressive solo acoustic tune, leading into an acoustic rendition of "Eleanor Rigby." Other covers included "Wipeout," "Black Magic Woman.." Oh yeah, and he pulled a random guitarist out of the crowd to go up and play blues with him - I was up front and he chose a guy right next to me - DAMN! My take on Gary is that he's somewhat of a cross between a shredder and a soulful, Carlos Santana type player. It's a good combination, and he's got great melodic talent. Go see Gary Hoey (and the Doppler Effect!) if you get the chance... -Neil. /===============================================================\ | Neil Evans Phone: 415.506.3503 | | Server Technologies Division Fax: 415.506.7370 | | Oracle Corporation email: email_address_removed | \===============================================================/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Feb 1997 16:38:51 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed (George Sumschidt) To: email_address_removed Subject: Beatles (love songs) Message-ID: Greeting one and all.

Although there is a bit of controversy over the true source of this show, my ears tell me this is NOT a soundboard recording, but is an excellent sounding AUDIENCE recording. It is one of the better sounding bootlegs out there, but not the best. Regardless, this item is well worth having, especially with ACOS ("Please don't go!!" version) and Eve (with samples). Also, this is the "authentic" version of the Tragedy/Comedy bootleg set. Bid your heart out. Just trying to keep people informed. Robin Campbell wrote, >Anyone here interested in ECHOLYN or MR.

Sorry, dude, hate to burst your bubble, but I just recently got the same 2CD set for $40 from my local dealer. I hate to rip you on this, but it seems unfair to sell it higher then that to me. I think their still in stock. I'll ask him who his dealer is and get back with you on this. I know it was made by Why Not? records from Italy. Mebbe you can find em on the net somewhere. This is definitely THE boot of the I&W tour to get, though. Best quality I've heard from most boots. Sorry, duders... KorgX3 aka Mr. Chuckalupugus "Life is Precious. All of life.

Two little pieces of news for ya today. First, a friend of mine is a photog for Metal Edge, and he scanned in one of his shots of Mike and sent it to me, so I put it up on the web so you could all have a look. It's at http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~cmerlo/PORTNOY1.JPG. I should be getting more pix soon. Second, for all you Nine Miles fans out there, we have recorded a third song. Sound-quality wise, it's not as great as the other two, but song-writing and arrangement wise, it's my favorite out of the three. It's called "Forever In a Day," and you can get a listen for it and read the lyrics at the Nine Miles Web Site. And, for those of you that haven't heard any Nine Miles stuff, I hope that you can take 15 minutes out of your day and try us out. There's no money involved or anything, I just want people who know music (that's you guys) to give us an unbiased opinion of this stuff. You can check us out at http://www.uvm.edu/~cmerlo/ixmi.html Thanks for indulging us!
