Just thought I'd try and ease your mind a bit Chris....not all of us are like that. Some of us (and me personally) value our DT collections for our own personal reasons and satisfaction, and have no interest whatsoever in selling the stuff off. Hell I even have some rare stuff that I don't bother telling anyone about because I don't want people making crazy offers. But still, I do not make copies of all my stuff to give to my friends....I guess to me it doesn't hold the same meaning if everyone I know has the same recordings or pics or whatever. To me, a rare item is something I consider a collectors piece, not something for mass distribution. peace out, Dave (aka buster) Hatlee http://www.dhpc.com/wdadu/ http://www.dhpc.com/ryche/ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 10:59:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Syrinx To: David Hatlee Subject: Re: Priceless DT Collectables :) Message-ID: > Just thought I'd try and ease your mind a bit Chris....not all of us are > like that.

Speaking only for myself (and being a collector), I know that many of the things that *I* have - some worth grand monetary value, some just personal value - will probably never be sold. I like having a private archives, actually. Kind of makes what I own a little more special. So, any takers on a sealed Afterlife promo? :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= email_address_removed / email_address_removed erotomania! - http://www.erotomania.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 10:36:52 -0400 From: stan-o- To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 4008 Message-ID: > The point is, if a person has a physical handicap (whether it be > blindness, deafness, or whatever), they shouldn't have to constantly > remind people about their handicap in order to be treated with > respect. > Nor should they have to be reminded of their differences from others. I see this all to much, Being employeed in the feild of special ed. I see this all to much when integrating severly disabled children into the community. Bottomline is, everyone here is a person, and should first and foremost be treated in that manner. Im not saying that anyone who doesnt make 2 versions of a www page should be bound and gagged because that is what the internet is all about, im saying (not directed at anyone here) in general in the world today, it seems that if you cant run the fastest or jump the highest, you are almost put onto a back burner. Handicapped or not, EVERYONE should ALWAYS be treated with respect. > Damon, I like reading your posts. Based on what you > write, you seem like a cool guy.

I wouldnt have known Damon was blind until I saw him at a DT show unless he put that line about it in his sig. file. Anyway, I guess the point I am trying to make is that IMO, I can't say that I feel sorry for Damon because as far as I have seen on the jam, and at a few dt shows that ive seen him at, he hasnt let his lack of sight overcome his will to enjoy life, cudoos to that, I cant tell you how many people I have meet that have some sort of disability and are bitter at the world. stan tastic ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 10:32:54 -0500 From: Big Swifty To: email_address_removed Subject: Trade, my "new" guitar Message-ID: Hello. I was sent an extra copy of Experience To Extremes, the two disc Rush set from Prism records. I'm asking to see if anyone wants to trade me Stream Of Consciousness (CD-Rs are fine) for it. Also, much like my friend Buck Stodgers, I got a new-to-me guitar recently. It's an Ibanez RG570, serial number F937721, and I'm having trouble identifying the correct name of its funky color. It looks pinkish purple until you hold it under lights, then it looks very blue. Can anyone help me find out what this finish is called? I'm not complaining about it by any means - it plays like butter, has a hard case, and only cost me $325. I'm just curious, and I know there are some people on this list who are very knowledgeable about Ibanez guitars. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out, Mark Peters email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:33:41 -0600 From: "KorgX3" To: Subject: DT Collectables Message-ID: <004f01bda04e$e2a50240$45f086cc@korgx3> Since this was brought up, I'd forgotten to post something that i saw on a website this week.

(need recommendations) Message-ID: According to Ryan Roehrich: > > > Having listening to LTE since it came out I am now wanting more and more of another CD you might consider is the Holdsworth / Johanssen brothers fusion CD "Heavy machinery" that mike mentions in the LTE liner notes. Holdsworth is a fusion legend, and the Johanssens have played in many metal bands including Yngwie's. unfortunately, i didn't think the CD was that good. Holdsworth's solos are excellent, but the songwriting, all by the Johanssens, is spotty. it has a lethargic feel, none of the excitement of LTE, and a sterile feel, maybe from the synth bass lines or lack of musician interaction. on LTE you can hear them feeding off each other. if anyone wants to hear it, i'd be happy to trade my Heavy Machinery CD for most anything. scott andrews email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 09:58:24 -0600 From: "KorgX3" To: Subject: The State of the Ytsejam Address Message-ID: <005701bda052$1b529000$45f086cc@korgx3> --From Stodge, the Ytse-Grammar Nazi: >> If you'd like to bash/flame/whine/name-call at me anymore please do >> it in private email so we don't all get yelled at by Skadz... >Excuse me?

And >that's you in the non-singular sense...:) You're bitching at a guy who asked to take an off-topic subject to private mail because you didn't have to read it? That's about all the logic I derived from that. Since this is public knowledge anyway, allow me to state this plainly: "Stodge, you're being a dick." As a lesson for >everyone<, let me remind you all that this is a public forum, and that the subjects that come up are not always on topic. Most messages DO place their subject in the appropriate place, and if you don't like the subject, page down. It's not hard. :P And if someone asks you to redirect your responses to private mail, please do so rather than bitch about their cowardice or what-not to everyone else. You're own bitching is more cluttering than the topics others are obviously interested in. If you want to make the jam a better place, start legit topics, not flame wars. :P --KorgX3 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 08:58:56 -0700 (PDT) From: Simon Wilkins To: email_address_removed Subject: The London Forum show Message-ID: Hi here is a few things about the Forum show. As mentioned by email_address_removed the show was more laid back than in December and for me not as good. The set was definitely different than last time-see below and did not really rock as I would have expected. The ill advised comment by James that no one was interested in the World Cup anymore and it was all over for us (I presume he meant England and/or Scotland) was not well received. At this point in the evening Scotland were losing but were still in it. Anyway. James, Mike Portnoy and to some extent John P played to the audience, as did Rudess and Morgenstein the support who really gave it some. However John Myung was pretty much static and moved around less than in December and Derek didnt smile until the very end and seemed just content to do his keyboard parts. The set list as much as I can pick out from my recording In between the bands Raise the knife (about 3-4 times) and another demo which I didnt catch the name of A very dodgy skipping intro CD! Crimson Sunrise Innocence The Mirror/Just let me breathe Take the time/Freebird/Hot for teacher long keyboard intro/Anna Lee Goodbye Yellow Brick road Speak to me Long keyboard intro/Lines in the Sand Caught in a web/Drum Solo The way it used to be Peruvian Skies/Have a Cigar/enter Sandman Guitar solo inc. Paradigm Shift (+MP and Rudes) and Flight of the bumblebee (rimsky Korsakov version) Pull Me under Encore- Learning to lIve/Segment of something I didnt recognise/Learning to live Crimson Sunset So there you go If anyone wants to swap a tape of this gig for anything else please email me privately. I would add there is a bit of distortion of the mini disc recording when things are loudest. They also took a photo at the end for the live album All the best Simon _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

(need recommendations) > > Having listening to LTE since it came out I am now wanting more and more of > it. > Ryan Ryan, Pick up a new release called Vital Tech Tones. It has Scott Henderson (Tribal Tech), Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), and Steve Smith (Vital Information and various session). I think it's just as good if not better than LTE. It's the same kind of progressive instrumental jamming stuff except more fusion oriented. Also, I find it a bit more interesting because there's more improvisation and more group interaction because these players are more jazz influenced. You might have to look in the jazz section of your local cd shop for it. I put up an MP3 at Mosh's ftp site, check it out ftp://medusa.gmsnet.com/incoming.

It has Scott Henderson cool recommendation, i ordered this yesterday. there is a sound clip on the Shrapnel Records site [www.shrapnelrecords.com] under New Releases. it's not as heavy, more modern light fusion, but henderson's work with Tribal Tech is great too. scott andrews biophysics research email_address_removed chemistry department ****************************************************************** --- http://www.people.virginia.edu/~sha3u --- info & CD reviews | Ibanez | soundclips of of major & underground | 7 string | my prog-thrash progressive/thrash metal | guitar info | metal band ATAXIA ****************************************************************** "metal isn't dead, it just smells funny." -Zappa paraphrase ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 12:21:21 -0500 From: "James C. Shields" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: More LTE Message-ID: if you want a very similar album (at least in concept) check out Black Light Syndrome, with Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, and Steve Stevens. It kick ass. I almost like it better than LTE, because everything is less dense, with very few overdubs, and it was almost all improvised. It's on Magna Carta Records, so you should be able to get it from the same place as LTE. another cool thing about BLS is that Levin stands out a lot more through the whole record, without thick guitar overdubs as well as keys covering him up. definitely give this one a try.

Any reviews on the Rudess/Morgenstein Project? >Any help >would be great! > >Ryan > Hey Ryan I suppose LTE is one of a kind, so you won`t find exatcly the same thing anywhere unless it`s half DT/half some other virtuoso musicians. I`d suggest checking out what Magna Carta has to offer. There`s plenty of tributes and other "projects" that feature members of DT and other exceptional musicians. As far as RMP goes, I`m sure you`ll like it. It`s only keyboards and drums and it most of the time sounds very rich (like whole band), but sometimes I feel a lack of other instruments. But I assure you, the performance of JR and RM are something amazing and they really let the steam go in some songs. But there are a couple very slow nice and very passionate songs too (like Masada). I`d say this CD is a must have. I got a signed copy in Munich/Ger where they opened for DT (both performances BLEW ME AWAY) and had a word with them, extremely nice guys, seems like all great musicians are :) If u can find RMP anywhere, GO FOR IT :) Sincerely, Matej Grginic a guitarist converted into a fiersome bass player P.S.

Think long run. Eventually, blindness will become irrelevant, In addition, for those who are not congenitally blind, but have become blind due to corneal injury/scarring, etc. they have a new surgical experimental procedure where they bypass the cornea by inserting some mechanical device that captures the image and then produces the corresponding electrical impulses to be delivered to the person's retina.
