Anyone have info on how this deal was maade, > and when? Well, here is part of a post to the Thoughts mailing list from Neal Morse on February 26th: "BEARD NEWS: Radiant is currently negotiating a distribution deal with Metal Blade, which also handles bands like Fates Warning and Kings X. K of S should be in the stores in America in early May. But don't worry, they're only making us cover a couple of Black Sabbath tunes." ..and part of another post from Neal on April 20th: "I don't know if you all know this but Radiant is about to be distributed by Metal Blade. This means our records will be in the major American stores by May 19! Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, to promote this new venture we've sent out about 100 CDs (Kindness) to radio. Let me know what station your friend works at and I'll see if it's on my list. It's looks to be mostly college stations though." That's all the "official" info I have... if you'd like more detail, you could email Neal directly at email_address_removed , but he's in Europe for the next month touring with Eric Burdon, so it will be a while before he responds. If you were on the Thoughts mailing list, you would know these things! ;o) Lisa Marie email_address_removed ICQ uin # 1518578 http://home.pacbell.net/ytsegirl -- THOUGHTS - The Spock's Beard Mailing List Homepage http://www.dreamt.org/spocksbeard/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 00:54:36 EDT From: Echomanyyz To: email_address_removed Subject: SF show (spoilers) Message-ID: Saturday's show was unbelievable! This was my second DT show. I got in the front row, dead center, but I eventually got pushed over to right in front of JP which was ok with me. The front row is awesome! From now on I will always try to get in the front row. I could really see JP's fingers dance around his guitar. I made eye contact with Mike several times. He's a monster! JM's fingers were speedy as usual. Derek was looking fashionable, and he was moving up and down those keyboards very quickly. James's voice was perfect. My earplugs worked very well. The sound was very clear. When the show started, everyone pushed forward, and I got squeezed. The setlist was great. They started with ACOS, then moved on to JLMB, Burning my Soul, and then Take the Time. Miked moved to another drum set at the front of the stage, and they played Anna Lee and Speak to Me. After that, MP tossed me a stick (thanks Mike) : ) They played Caught in a Web with an amazing drum solo by MP. JP's guitar solo was incredible, especially from up close. Derek's solo before Lines in the Sand was very groovy. Pull me Under and Peruvian Skies got a great crowd response. During JP's solo in Lie, MP and DS started tossing sticks to each other. Derek couldn't catch them (he should take lessons from me). Thoughout this Mike never missed a beat. Trial of Tears was awesome. JP ripped though the guitar solo. Derek's solo sounded much better than it does on FII. Then for the encore, They played Metropolis, Learning the Live, and more ACOS. During They middle of Metropolis, JP started doing another guitar solo. Mike and James went behind him, picked him up, and carried him across thhe stage while he was still playing! He then sat down on the floor and MP came up and shredded with him! After the show, I went out to where the tour bus was and got my stick signed by JP and JM. Then I went back inside and met Derek, James, and Mike. I got the stick MP gave me signed by the whole band! They are all really cool guys. This concert was the most fun I have ever had in my life (I'm only 16 years old though). -Ian ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 22:00:44 -0700 (PDT) From: Stephen Dedalus To: midi-mag@maelstrom.stjohns.edu, ytsejam@ax.com, progmaestros@arastar.com, Subject: Musicians Listserver is up! Message-ID: Greetings friends, If you are receiving this message, it is because I think either you or friends of your may be interested in a musicians' listserver that I have just created. This list is dedicated to helping musicians who have the same tastes, abilities, and locations find each other and form groups. There are a couple policies that I will be inforcing. First, there will be no information other than name, location, instrument played, ability level, jeanras preferred,, age, and musicians sought allowed on this list. It is *not* a discussion forum for music, bands, etc. Second of all, people are only allowed to post once a week. No one wants to see ten messages from the same guitarist seeking a band in their inbox every week. Third, absolutely any musician, whether they be interested in forming classical ensembles, jazz combos, death metal bands, or experimental percussion groups, are absolutely welcome on this list. Any violation of policy will result in two warnings, should the behavior continue, and finally an unsubscription of the guilty party by me. To subscribe to the list, send an empty message to email_address_removed. To post to the list, send a message to email_address_removed. I would wait a good two weeks before posting, however, so that we build a decent client base first. Please, if you know anyone else who could benefit from a list like this, forward this entire message to them. Pst it to lists and news groups that you think might be interested. I know very little about news groups, so I won't be psting it myself. Please, help me so that we can get the biggest group possible helped. Last, don't worry. You're not on any kind of list of mine that will result in me sending mail to you pestering you over and over again. This should be hopefully the only letter I send regarding this or any projects of mine for a good while. Should you have any questions, send a message to email_address_removed. Do *not* reply to all recipients of this letter. That will inconvenience many people who will get a letter which they have no use for. Be considerate and go by the golden rule. I thank you in advance for the help I hope you will give me and I sincerely hope this list becomes a success. Be well.

It was very interesting. Derek got to show off his shoes on TV. Mike said there is going to be another live video out this year. He also said the next album is going to be recorded more like LTE - that is- they are going to write the songs in the studio and record them as they write rather than write everything then record. Derek is wierd but still cool : ) -Ian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 01:23:35 -0400 (EDT) From: K I L L M A R Y To: email_address_removed Subject: 7-string Madness Message-ID: When me and Chris "Madsman" Ptacek were checking out one of Thoroughbred stores in Clearwater (here close to Tampa), we saw an Ibanez Universe BK in mint condition. It sounds great, and it's approved by Ptacek and KillMary :-) Their number is 813-725-8062 and I think they ship it if you want it (hell, they send those catalogs like Musician's Friend's so they should, right?). Oh yeah, the price is 999 bux, but this guitar is in MINT condition. And I know how many of you want one and can't find it.

I did not mean to imply that you said the old show was in the archives. My point was the first show was not put in the archives (as some shows are not) because of the contract between DT and liveconcerts.com, at least the way I understand it.

This is, by far, the most wrong rant you've ever posted(well, I haven't been around TOO long). There is something that most civilized people recognize as personal space. Unless I invite someone to invade that personal space, they have no right to be there. If I have put in the time and effort to get to the venue early, wait in line, and rush to the front for a good spot, then I don't expect to be physically removed from that spot by some pinball people freaks, just because they are of the attitude that they can enjoy the concert in whatever way they see fit. Face it, if your busy bouncing around like a maniac, you are not giving enough attention to the performance. You're opinions show the selfishness that ruin the concert experience for so many of us. And you're statement "if you don't like it, then move" is just asinine. If you don't like the fact that I'm taller than you, than move from behind me, or get there before me. But don't attempt to move me out of your way with "moshing". If you don't like my elbow collapsing you larynx, then don't assault me in a way that begs retaliation. Just my $.50 worth.

I've just moved with my work from the UK to Birmingham, Alabama - which is why my Email now works properly and I can recieve the Jam again (oh joy). I won't rave too long, I just wanted to say hi - but I will mention 2 huge things that have happened since my Email problems (besides moving to the States). Firstly, I managed to see DT at the Forum in London, England back in December - and they were awsome. Secondly I bought a new drum kit last night - a Yamaha DS10 (that's a flash electronic one - FYI), and er... it rocks my world.
