I don't think it was the mic itself, it seemed to be that the sound guy had dropped the level and forgotten to bring it back up or something. Labrie went postal the last time, throwing the mic stand and megaphone across the stage. He didn't let that affect the rest of his performance, though. Very professional. * Mike Portnoy's vocals: Both Mike and JP were doing backup vocals, and it adds a lot to the songs. Mike got the added plus of getting to sing part of JLMB while Labrie was ripping the sound guy a new one during the aforementioned incident. Mike didn't sound half bad either. He also mouthed the "Please don't go!" during ACOS. * John Petrucci as The Guitar Master: It's just so intimidating to watch this guy play sometimes. He makes playing look so damn effortless. I'm used to guitarists on stage contorting and doing all kinds o' funky shit during solos. JP just stares out over the crowd with the look of "I AM the guitar. You will all bow before me, as you are not worthy." * Derek's histrionics: On the other end of the spectrum, we had Derek. I just don't know about that guy. :) I really want to like him. I love his studio work with the band, but his live presentation is just so over-the-top that I can't help but wonder about "style over substance". I feel like a great musician doesn't have to try and grab my attention with flash other than of the musical kind. * The Silent Man smiled!: Yes sirree! During ACOS (I think) he played a little music-box riff as a solo. I was laughing myself, and I look onstage, and he's backed up by the drum riser and smiling (I think at MP). It seemed as though everyone was enjoying themselves. All-in-all, a great performance. The only thing that would have topped it for me would have been if they had played one of the 3 songs I was listening for: (1)Nightmare Cinema, (2)Scarred, or (3)Trial Of Tears. Oh well, I guess it just gives me something to look forward to at the next show. :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jan 1998 08:48:14 From: CRAIG GRIFFITH To: email_address_removed Subject: Quake/II Clan Message-ID: I was wondering: do any of you Ytsejammers play Quake or Quake II? I have both, and if there are enough of you (at least 4, preferably 5 or more) with stable Internet connections (28.8 ISP or better. No AOL, because the ping times are awful. I got a ping time of over 3000 milliseconds to a server only 70 miles away.) we could form a clan Ytsejam, or something vaguely equivalent.

Message-ID: Hiya! I am looking for a good CD online shop, not in the vein of CDNOW however Rather, I am seeking a wholesaler oriented dealer, preferrably one specializing in re-releases where I might purchase bulk quantities of Deep Purple's Machine Head and similar items Responses by private e-mail are preferred. op777 ------------------------------------------------------------- Olli-Pekka Komonen snail:Kutojantie 2, 13720 Parola, Finland e-mail: opk@hlti.fi phn:+358-3-6715036 cell:+358-400-498 266 ------------------------------------------------------------- "YOUTAKEMYLIFEANDI'LLTAKEYOUR'STOO!!!" -Kevin Moore "Very positive message" -James LaBrie ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jan 1998 12:12:59 -0500 From: Matthew Robbins-McDaniel To: email_address_removed Subject: DT in Metal Edge (DTC!) Message-ID: Happy New Year Sorry if this has been posted before. In the current issue of "Metal Edge" there is a nice one page write up on DT. If features about 7 color phots, including the guys playing each others instruments during the "Nightmare Cinema" performance. Talks a little bit about FII and the tour with Big Wreck. Check it out. ~Matt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 13:10:34 EST From: AEllis1222 To: email_address_removed Subject: APSOG, kinda funny (NDTC) Message-ID: Hey, everybody put track 6 of APSOG on, and tell me if it doesn't sound like maybe they're gonna go into "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi. I was cracking up in my car over that one!

Fini) To: email_address_removed Subject: Ozric Tentacles - Curious Corn Message-ID: All you space-rockers on the list: put down what you're doing and put in an order for the Ozrics' new one, Curious Corn, if you haven't already. This album is a fabulous blend of synth wizardry, guitar sorcery, and ambient mood-making magic. I think the Ozrics have really hit the nail on the head this time, inviting us on an auditory voyage into their space. For those of you who have been following their last few albums, this one will seem like a step in the right direction in their musical evolution, and for the uninitiated this album would make a great introduction to what the Ozrics are all about. Definitely a keeper. Paul -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. -.-- -.-- --.. Paul T. Fini U.C.

Must mean that I really like it (or that the synapses between those few remaining braincells aren't firing too often). It is decent. Double CD for $8 US postpaid.

But unfortunately I can't remember his name, dose anybody know ho he is? And what band he plays in? He is supposed to be a hell of a guitarist. ###################################################### ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 18:10:50 +0000 From: "Dale R. Newberry" To: email_address_removed Subject: Queensryche box set Message-ID: Hey, I was wondering what would be a fair price for the Operation Livecrime box set (cassette, not CD). A friend of mine is offering it to me since he got it on CD (figured he'd offer it to someone who could appreciate it instead of selling it to a used store. Gee, how nice of him :). Everything is in excellent condition. Thanks. Dale R. Newberry P.S. Please respond to me privately.

This is very hypocritical Roger, and judging from the number of people on #ytsejam IRC I am not alone in being pissed off with you for posting this. How about you practise what you preach ? graham Roger don't take this as a flame :) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 23:14:16 -0500 (EST) From: Michael Burstin To: email_address_removed Subject: SPOILER: Hartford Message-ID: Well, saw DT for the 9th time last night in Hartford, and this might just have been the best show I have ever saw. They were on last night. The set list was (at least close to) what Tim Lodge posted, and there were a few nice surprises... You Not Me being one of them. This song sounds great live! I also think that New Millenium is an amazing song live, if possible, even better than on FII. It was interesting when LaBrie had mic problems during JLMB, and Mike took over while James went on over to have a chat. Mike was, as always, Animal on drums. During the ACOS part, Mike also appeared to scream "Please don't go" as did those of us in the crowd. The added portion of Ytsejam (the "fasten your seatbelts" portion) is pretty cool... very _FAST_. Metropolis was amazing, with 2 added jams in the middle (the "standard" one dating back to at least the Fix shows, as well as a cover tune. Metropolis really does kick some major ass. Peruvian Skies was also very cool. The electric version of Silen Man was very cool, better than I remember. Was also cool to get together with some other Jammers... Merlo was back in New England, and was cool as always. I was standing with Sarah, Erica, Skadz, Merlow, Pat Sullivan, and a few others during the show. It was cool, b/c Skadz & Merlo decided to stop _anyone_ who started to mosh in our area, going into the pit, and pulling people out... very cool. Lets see... what else... Not a whole lot, again, great to see everyone again. Can't wait for DT to come back from Europe/Japan for show number 10. -- +------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | A daily dose of eMpTyV | Dream Theater | | will flush you mind right down the drain | Falling Into Infinity | | --- taken from: Just Let Me Breathe --- | In Stores NOW!! | +------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ Michael Burstin: email_address_removed Oh my God, they've killed Kenny!! http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~mikeb/ Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email: http://www.cauce.org ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Jan 1998 23:02:40 -0600 From: yzzy To: email_address_removed Subject: re: Skipping DT songs Message-ID: blasphemous! sacrilegious! etc.... *yzzy grins at you and waves* yzzy //Iz*zee//E*zee//E*ziz*ee//Y*z*z*y//Izzzzz ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Jan 1998 00:40:12 -0500 From: Brian Larkin To: email_address_removed Subject: DT airplay Message-ID: Hey everyone. Just wanted to let y'all know I heard YNM on the radio earlier today (of all songs). I've also heard Hollow Years and Burning My Soul SEVERAL times in the past month or so . . . this station ("The Bear", 97.9 - northeast PA) seems to be into DT, I've requested BMS and HY once or twice since I got the album (I know, I should be calling more often :), and they told me they'd play DT just as if I had requested the new Pearl Jam. Hopefully maybe YNM will fall into regular rotation?? I think it's really cool that DT finally seem to be making some waves commercially. Let's hope it keeps up. cArPe DiEm, -oO(bRiAn)Oo- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jan 1998 01:41:51 EST From: AEllis1222 To: email_address_removed Subject: (NDTC) Good Marillion album to start with?
