I know the Freebird song from that gig of Lynyrd Skynyrd on Knebworth festival (??1980??) and they really kicked ass there! Especially the extended solo parts of the guitarists. MAN, that was somethin! Did DT play this part, or some of the singing parts? AND, also about TTT/Frrebird, WILL IT BE ON THE LIVE ALBUM????? Will there be some others snippets of other famous old stuff?

Any thoughts on this? > > Vince Well, it's kinda weird result, but I guess you find the answer yourself. ;-) No offense all you Americans, but seems like all the good music came from Britain. Few elders said it (in my country). Personally, I can't connect this fact with the rumour about Englishmen. :-) If those rumours are correct, how can possibly such music to come out of them? :-) Er, now to cut the confusion, I REALLY don't have anything again Americans or Englishmen, just trying to fix the roots back. Vince, how about adding to your British list: - Black Sabbath Fathers of heavy metal, IMO - Cream (Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker) - Jethro Tull Inevitable band if you already mention Yes, Genesis... Speaking of this, I just heard some Magellan for first time ... It's AWESOME!!!!!) And yes, finally we found some Americans: - Jimi Hendrix Heh, guess you missed him out! But according 90% of guitarists he is their idol. USA - big points! :-) - Blues, Jazz music Another thing to think about. Now OK, we know that eventually all of this is influenced by African rhythms and music which black people "brought" in America, but Americans addopted it and started using it in all different ways. And here's again somewhting weird about the British. BLUES is 100% black music, but after it became popular, whole bunch of British rhythm & blues bands appeared and made a mess, great music OK, I'm out, the mike goes to....

A click track is like a metronome for drummers. It will click in their cans during recording and help them keep time. I can't stand the things and never used them when ever my band did any recording. Does anyone know if MP uses click tracks? Dave (a UK jammer - now in Alabama). ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:54:53 -0300 From: "Cassiano P.

Well OK then...... you MUST check out The Chris Duarte Group's CD, "Texas Sugar Strat Magik". An awesome SRV inspired blues-shred fest. They also have another CD, but "Texas Sugar Strat Magik" is far superior. I've seen Chris Duarte live twice now (the last time was Friday night, one day before DT's show here in Detroit!), and he really smokes. Oh, by the way, he's from Austin, TX - just like SRV. - Joe D. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 14:31:40 +0000 From: Jon Parmet To: Yts Subject: Monica Lewinsky dyes her hair blonde, reports of Derek in the vicinity Message-ID: Looks like the ytsejam continues to support the already proven theory that the Internet, as a society, doesn't scale too well...

But, in layman's terms: To me the sound is so "fuzzy and muddy" on III. It doesn't sound "crisp or clean" at all. Actually, it sounds to me like a (so-so quality) bootleg. As another note though........ I saw VH for the 3rd time this year (the previous two were with Sammy), and Gary sounded MUCH better than on the VHIII disc. In fact, all the songs they played off III were definitely better live than they sounded on the disc. I also think Gary sang the old Dave/Sammy songs well. - Joe D. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 10:55:14 -0400 From: Pat Daugherty To: Dream Theater Mailing List Subject: BLS - Black Light Syndrome/new KISS Message-ID: I have this Magna Carta cd. I like it. Its a very good, all instrumental cd. Not as good as LTE though... Bozzio, Levens, and Stevens are all excellent musicians and fit together in my opinion fairly well. I heard a song on the 98 rock (Baltimore) last night that I'm led to believe was the new KISS song. This song rocked. Hopefully the rest of the cd will be just as good.

Great, leaving those of us with low-to-mid-end stereos with crappy sound? Oh yeah, I'm all for Kevin now. (gag, choke). > I think Shirley should continue working with DT until he produces an > album that does not sound good on a reference system. Umm, Mike, how about if DT includes coupons in their CDs' -- "Half off of any reciever and speakers totalling $1000 or more" C'mon, if it can't sound good on every system (or at least the one the majority ofpeople have), then why even sell it? If they want Kevin to produce, fine by me. If they want Kevin to mix, or engineer, or master, then I have a problem. And, of course, we all know I'm the person everybody has to get permission from to do anything cool. (gag, choke). The above, except the last two paragraphs, were my opinion. The last two paragraphs above this one were a joke (this paragraph provided for the humor-impaired). --Matt --------------------------------------------------- "Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do." --R.
