Well, considering the nightmare of God we just went through in an attempt to get tickets from Ticketbastard for Spock's Beard in LA next week, I doubt you'll be able to get the tickets in the Bay Area. You'll probably have to rely on someone in LA, unless Ticketscummaster allows you to purchase the tickets over their web site. I despise that company, and wish there was someone out there that could compete with them and put them out of business. No DT for us in May, anyway, since we're going to have visitors that week. Everybody else have a good time.

They've since gotten a new singer, Zachary Stevens, whose voice is a lot less gravelly. Personally, I think Zach is the better of the two, but Jon has his strengths as well. I'm not in tune enough with my friend the internet to point you toward mp3s, but I can recommend (HIGHLY!!) Dead Winter Dead, and Handful of Rain...those are both with Zach, and he is PHENOMENAL. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1998 14:14:52 -0700 From: Dave Thomas To: "'ytsejam'" Subject: Prog Metal Stores In The Bay Area?

Message-ID: Dateline 10 April 1998... :) Earlier today, my friend Stacey was listening to 98Rock radio in Baltimore, MD. While the DJ, Colleen Carew, was talking she heard some music that she thought sounded like LTE. So, she called the station and actually talked to Colleen and asked, "Hey, was that Liquid Tension Experiment that you were playing before?" Colleen said, "Yeah, it was," seeming surprised that anyone could spot it. she went on, "Yeah, my husband picked this up and said, `Hey, this is really cool. You should take this into work and play it under one of your spots because they'll never let you REALLY play it!'" So, apparently she did. She asked for Stacey's age and where she lived, and complimented her on her good taste. This, of course, is the same girl who located another Japanese Awake CD for me to replace the autographed one that was STOLEN! :') I even got Mike , James and Derek to autograph it after the 3 Jan 1998 DT show at Jaxx in Springfield, VA. Now I just need the Johns' autographs to make it complete. Any other "sightings" of LTE on otherwise corporate radio?

I was web surfing today and found out that Ralf Scheepers (ex-Gamma Ray vocalist) has a new band called Primal Fear. Could anybody give me a review of the album? I've heard a couple songs on real audio and they sound pretty good. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

You can usually get better prices from the Laser's Edge than most stores anyway (Superior-$12, Symphony X-$15). Hasn't someone said that Symphony X is on a major label in Europe but has no distribution in the US? And Superior is on Noise...and we know how good of distribution they have here in the US. The only thing I ever saw from Noise in a record store were the Helloween "Keeper of the Seven Keys" albums. Actually, scratch that...recently I've seen Stratovarius "Visions" (2 copies in Record Service for you Champaign-Urbana jammers) as well as Gamma Ray "Somewhere Out In Space," but I already had the albums by the time the store did.

Yah, you're right. When I first saw the disc in my cousin's hands, I noticed that there was a song missing...or so I thought. Listening to it, all the ones listed on the back are on the CD, but what's up with Black on Black? That's listed, and it ain't there. :( Mph, I feel jipped. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Apr 1998 01:00:39 +0300 From: O-P Komonen To: email_address_removed Subject: YANNI Message-ID: I just spent incredible 1=BD hours.... There was a Yanni concert in Finnish TV, and 'cuz there has been some talk about him on the jam, I decided to check it out. I had only heard one of his CDs before, I thought it was good, but nothing spectacular. I also recorded the gig with my computer to try if it could handle such thing. After the first song I kicked myself into head for not taking the whole gig on video... luckily I got everything from song 2 onward... on one word the gig was INCREDIBLE. I rate this experience as high as hearing Learning to live (and DT)for the first time. This guy is just incredible... and the other guys in the band weren't bad either... I just wanted to tell everyone who hasn't checked this guy out, or has but hasn't seen this concert... GET YANNI LIVE AT TAJ MAHAL AND CHINA NOW!! It blew my mind, and might blew yours too... Now I just need to get Live at the Acropolis somewhere, it should be great too. op777 P.S.
