Someone pointed me here: www.noiserecords.com/sounds/soundscat.html to hear some Kamelot samples. I'm listening to it (when it's not rebuffering, dammit) and Ray Khan sounds like Mickey Mouse. I know they didn't record it this way, but I can't figure out how to maybe slow it down, or whatever, so that he sounds like he usually does, and not Alvin & the Chipmunks-tape-going- superspeed-on-crack voice. It automatically played off of RealPlayer 5.0. Is it me? Is it the RealPlayer? Is it the site? If anyone has any insights into this, I really would appreciate it. And if you could send it to private email, that would be great, as I seem to not be getting any 'jams today. Thanks!

If anyone would like to join me for pre-show drinks and babbling, email me (not the 'jam, you know that though) before Saturday morning --> email_address_removed <-- OR call me (405) 524-5377. Saturday after oh, tennish*, I'll be at (405) 830-0711, but given that it's my cell phone I might be out of range. Doesn't have the same capabilities as, oh, say, James' voice. Yeh, I've been off the 'jam for a while, but some of you might remember me... jazzmin *tennish: after ten, before eleven.

To sum it all up into one word, which really isn't fair at all, I'd have to say the entire experience was UNBELIEVABLE! From the tailgate party to greeting the band to the actual performance and the after show antics, I have NEVER had this much fun at a concert (yes, this topped even my favorite Megadeth show at the Electric Ballsack in Tempe) and will cherish these memories as some of my favorite to the day I die! And if any of you people start knockin' the band members for being anything less than top-tier, classier than classy, grade-A awesome people, I will personally hunt you down, strap you naked in a heated leather lounge chair, and retell this story until you could repeat it backwards to me, with proper grammar! I'll have to get into detail of what went on last night in my next email (gonna go get the pics developed right now!!!), but I had to get these impressions out to the jam as soon as possible! Hey Mike, that was the BEST goddamn drum solo I've ever seen! I wish I was that little kid who you picked in the audience to jam with ya! ;) (who didn't?) ~Eckie, the deaf but blissfully happy mound of fleshy jello ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 May 1998 17:38:48 -0300 From: email_address_removed (Carlos Alfaro) To: email_address_removed Subject: jam Message-ID: I havent received a single ytsejam message today.. anything wrong with the list? -- In the stream of consciousness There is a river crying Living comes much easier Once we admit , We're dying.

We'll be highlighting all of our interviews, new releases, and look at the future music year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONCERT REVIEW ADRIAN BELEW, ROBERT FRIPP, TREY GUNN BELLEVUE BALLROOM PHILADELPHIA,PA At 8:00pm the BELVIEIW BALLROOM, a beautiful marble, wrought iron, decorative venue was the setting for the begining of the PROJECT TWO "FRACTAL" group of the greater CRIM (as ROBERT describes it!). The material was basically from the PROJECT TWO album, with improvised changes implemented as the musicians saw fit. The most interesting part of the show was to see ace guitarist, ADRIAN BELEW behind the latest ROLAND ELECTRONIC DRUM KIT, which created som= e excellent cymbals, acoustic drum sounds and other percussive odities. He also provided bass notes over which TREY with his WARR guitar, and ROBERT with his custom LES PAUL, midi pedals and various effects, provided interlocking riffs, cascading dynamics, and space grooves! ADRAIN seemed at ease in this roll, and was smiling through-out. ROBERT played with extreme gusto, and gave room also for TREY to really show the crim-crowd the intensity that the WARR guitar is capable of. There was a break, and then a second part. At the begining of the show, there was an announcement stating that FLASH cameras were not allowed. The band left the stage after the second set. Robert returned in a few minutes to address the audience, and VROOM was to be the encore. Some idiot decided to use a flash, and FRIPP, who has asked the audience in the past to refrain from flash cameras was gone--in a FLASH! House lights came up, end o= f story! ADRIAN appeared after the show and talked for a half hour about his kit, and future plans. HE confirmed that VROOM was the encore, and that the =46LASH was the encore-killer! ADRIAN mentioned that PAT MASTELETTO, would be joining the tour in JULY, and perhaps BILL B. and TONY L would meet up with them at some point. ADRAIN is still practising guitar daily, and is about to revamp his whole guitar set up for the next CRIM-THING! No specific timetable was set for tha= t. The guys are enjoying themselves, and taking it one gig at a time. In the final analysis, it was a great experimental show by three great musicians. it was a short concert perhaps, but a memorable one!

Just a reminder to the new folks, ppl who haven't heard yet, ppl who couldn't read the 10 mosh-debate-filled 'jams, etc. that the Texas shows are upon us. The Lubbock show is tonight with Ft.

Message-ID: Don't worry jammers, James is not leaving the band. I was just wondering, IF he did leave (and a sadder day there might never be), WHO would be a good replacement? They guy would need to have: a terrific vocal range (pitch-wise), an excellent melodic vocal style, wicked tone, vocal power, emotional expression and great mellow ballad delivery.... not to mention, a very good understanding of prog rock, odd-time signatures, and lyric\songwriting. Anyway, I thought.... Does any singer have ALL these features? I could only come up with one, who, incidentally, is also a Canadian singer, SEBASTIAN BACH (I don't know if he is still in SKID ROW or if the band is now defunct.) I've thought of this ever since I saw him on DT's LIVE AT THE MARQUEE video, sitting around with James Labrie and parodying TAKE THE TIME, "...somethin' that I FEE-YULLLL, somethin' that is REE-YULLLLL!" and doing that old Elvis lip trick. Jammers with the video will know what I'm talking about here. I think SEBASTIAN could do it, IMHO. Any thoughts from all you jammers out there? Disagreeement? Other choices?? Take the Time, Alistair ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 3921 **************************
