Message-ID: I'm showing my age here, but Cheap Trick was BIG when I was in High school. And Bun E. Carlos could lay down one hell of a foundation. And get this, they are still around! Where the hell is Boston, Styx, Heart, REO Speedwagon, Kansas, The Cars, and so on? Sure, its late 70s hard rock/pop, but that's what some of us used to listen to. Well I was kind of a closet YES and Rush fan, along with other 70s prog, But I still had exposure to this stuff from the radio. Cheap Trick has always loved to play live, you can see it in the presentation. And yes, they still have Bun E. banging the skins, Rick Neilson still plays the goofy guitars, Tom Petersson on bass, and Robin Zander on vox. He still sounds the same. If you are so inclined, you can look and listen to a archived show from late last year at live concerts.com. Here is the URL http://www.liveconcerts.com/listening/concerts/970922/Cheap_Trick/ I hope you have the Real Player 5.0 plug in, and a 33.6 or better modem. Nobody flame me for listening to this ancient pop rock, I did get better with treatment. (hehe) You see its like this: DT = Cool. DT is ALs favorite band. Therefore AL = Cool. well maybe. Maybe AL need to dig out his vinyl copy of Lucifers Friend and listen to it at 78 RPM. Then smoke enough rope to bake his brain enough to make even Hanson sound *Cool.* Wait a minute, They would have to deliver that much hooch on a pallet. Will Hansons label pay for this? Huh. Puff Daddy? I know what I will do, Im gonna dig out my old Atomic Rooster album, Place it on my custom Revox limited addition Minister series turntable (so I can play it backwards) Grow tusks out of my butt cheeks, and breathe fire from my schvinkter. Where is Jim Baker when I need him? gooniegoogoo. Toodles! One final word. DT & DP are gonna rock big time, John Lord is an animal. See ya, AL...

Message-ID: Hiya dudes and dudettes, Just wanted to say anyone who hasn't picked themselves up a copy of the Jap HY single should do so. It's might set ya back a bit for a single (it cost me $25 AUS.), but how many CD singles have the following ?; Hollow Years (Radio Edit) 4:16 Hollow Years (LP version) 5:55 You Or Me (Demo) 6:25 The Way It Used To Be 7:47 Burning My Soul (Live) 8:19 Another Hand/The Killing Hand (Live) 13:27 I know that the tracklist has been posted before, but check out the times! That comes to 46:09 altogether - virtually a full length album! Funny thing is, is that it's a *HY* single, but HY is probably the least interesting part of it. TWIUTB is brilliant of course, but BMS and AH/TKH are the best part of the CD. BMS (with Hell's Kitchen bits in it) is excellent - it then segues straight into AH/TKH. IMHO this one is better than the LatM version. I won't go into anymore detail, just find out for yourself! Soo-Poyb disc man! >> Symphony X:Twilight in Olympus >> If you liked their previous albums you=B4ll love this one.This is >> probably their best album(IMO,<---see!). > This album kicks so much, the disc is more of the same from SX. > Along with LTE this is my fave release of the year so far. Aye, this disc is hot. Yes, I also agree, better than DWoT. Russell Allen sounds brilliant. Czech yuz, Luke.

As far as DT goes I own all the 'standard' albums and a couple of singles, DTIFC etc.....so this weekend I popped along to Oxford to do some shopping. There just happened to be a pretty big CD/Record fair going on so i thought it would be rude not to go and check it out. At stall no 2 I find a I&W on tape in perfect as-new condition (great for my non-CD car) this cost me ?2.50 !!!!! COOL anyway I thought this was going to be the high point as 25 stalls later I had nothing else until.......I stumbled upon Dream Theater 'Guitar Talkin' Acoustic & Clinic' for ?10. As I mentioned I'm a bit of a boot virgin so I was very impressed with this Kobra produced package with full colour insert and songs like RTK, Lost Without You, Where are you Now and acoustic beauties like WFS, LSOAD,LTL etc A FULL 79 MINUTES. OK so to cut to the chase if anybody out there wants a good quality tape copy of this I'll gladly trade for any good quality taped boots in return to get my collection off to a flying start. As you can see I want to make nothing out of this except spread my general good feelings to mankind in general ( us Brits are a mis-understood race you know) If you could drop me an e-mail before posting anything so I dont double up on anything.........

I started just a few minutes ago catching up, and found the tour dates by MIKE P. (GOD in DRUMS), and I was really blast. I couldn't believe what I was reading. DREAM THEATER in GREECE in June 14. That' s far the best news I had in months. Gee I'm really excited, I can't wait for the day to come. Man I'm gonna have a stroke. YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! I'd better get hold of myself.... wooooow, I don't think I can, It's so fucking great, I will finally see DT live. Please somebody stop me......I'm really getting insane. By the way has anyone heard a band called Ivanoe!? and if anyone from Greece is on ytsejam, please step forward I wanna hear from you.

I'm going to assume that 1) being Australian, you write your dates "backwards" and meant October 12th, 1996, and that 2) the boot manufacturer just has the date wrong. The opening show of Rush's TFE tour was October 19th, 1996, at the Knick in Albany. It was an incredible show to be at, because it was the first time they'd played out in a few years. There were the usual couple of first show blunders, but this is also one of the only, if not *the* only, time they played Time And Motion (as heard on Bahr's "Virtual Songs"). BTW, if you want to save money on the CD, I have an awesome cassette of the show (1st gen from an Audience DAT) that I'd be willing to trade. (It even sounds better than "Virtual Songs.") -d ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Man \|/ ____ \|/ "640 K ought to be enough email_address_removed "@'/ ,. \`@" memory for everyone." -Gates email_address_removed /_| \__/ |_\ "He won't need a bed http://www.cs.wm.edu/~cmerlo \__U_/ He's a digital man" -Peart ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The Spirit of Radio" Saturday 2:00pm-4:00pm 90.7 WCWM-FM http://www.cs.wm.edu/~cmerlo/tsor ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 12:26:24 -0400 (EDT) From: Al Balkiewicz To: TheListFromTheDepthsOfHell Subject: recommendation Message-ID: No DTC, but then again, this is a recommendation, so recommending DT on here would be kinda stupid anyway, but I digress..... If anyone, and I mean *ANYONE*, regardless of age or whatever, has a chance to see Henry Rollins do a spoken word performance, DEFINITELY GO!!!!!! Don't question it, don't do anything - just pick up the phone and get a ticket. I saw him on Saturday night at a small theater (approx 500 people) in Morristown, NJ, and I am still reeling from it. Easily one of the best live "performance" thingies that I have even been to. If you don't go, you will seriously miss out on a great time. That, combined with the fact that he comes around areas very infrequently (every 1-2 years or so) is more the reason to check him out. If you are disappointed, the E-mail me and *I* will personally refund your money....maybe. -Al ===================================================================== b l i n d l a b o r s t h e b l i n d a n d I a m u n w i l l i n g t o u n c o v e r m y e y e s ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ email_address_removed OR email_address_removed OR email_address_removed HOMEPAGE:http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/9280/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 13:10:10 -0500 (EST) From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: t-shirt chasing Message-ID: * One *guy chased after me (literally) after a class and told me how much he liked DT,*and *said he also listened to Queensryche. Bad part was I never saw the dude again. Yeah, for most tour shirts, I might say something in passing to the guy or girl, if I'm walking by them. But only for DT would I actually change direction and *follow* the shirt wearer. The one time in my life I saw someone wearing a DT shirt outside a concert was at a petfood store near my house. And I *did* change direction and go up to her and point it out. The funny thing is that it turned out to be Mrs. Portnoy. And come to think of it I did see her again at the vanderbilt concert in january.
