I don't have web access here at my house, so I can't go get it from there. I had printed it out when I was at my dad's house the other day, but it all got lost somewhere between there and here. Thanks. For any Tourniquet fans interested in what former members Guy Ritter (vocals) and Gary Lenaire (guitar) are up to now, they have a new project called Echo Hollow with an album out called "Diet of Worms" on Geneva Records. I haven't heard it yet, but I'll be sure and let you all know about when I do. I did read a positive review of it, and I know they do a pretty killer version of Sunday Bloody Sunday. Also, for any Kansas/Kerry Livgren fans that might not know about this, he has a relatively new album out called "Prime Mover II." Haven't heard it, but, again, read a positive review. For ordering info on this one, write: Numavox PO Box 44 Berryton, KS 66409 Dale R.

I attended last night's show at Birch Hill Night Club in Old Bridge, NJ, and I agree wholely with what Chris and Damon said about the crowd. the vast majority of the crowd was rude, unappreciative, and cranky, just like a bunch of 5 year olds whining because they didn't get their way. So DT didn't put on a "regular" show with Pull Me Under and the other harder hitting tunes. I think EVERYONE was well informed beforehand about the type of show they were playing; there was even a sign at the door that clearly said that it was a pseudo-unplugged show, that there would be clips from the video, and that they would NOT be playing PMU. If you weren't too busy making a fuss about the length of the video clips, you might have noticed that they played all the heavier DT staples in the video clips to tide over the older diehards, AS WELL AS several clips NOT included in the video (so to anyone who bitched because they could have watched it at home: you're wrong; shut up!). Think about it... the clips, albeit long, were better than watching the boring kaleidoscope computer animation, a sucky opening act, or even worse... footage from the latest Poison tour or... (shudder) Blind Melon! As for the infantile sit-down protest of the length of the video or the chanting of "bullshit"... anyone that took part in that inane action should be ashamed of themselves. I proudly stood among the sitters, and I was appalled that more people did not remain standing. DT took the time to get together and put a show on for a five lucky crowds, and this is how you receive them? There are thousands of fans around the world who would do anything for a chance to see them in the intimate setting they offered. I'd like to end this post on an upnote, so I would also like to say that the show was fantastic as usual, and it was a nice change of pace to see a show that was a little out of the ordinary. I just wish that other people could realize how lucky you are to have a band like Dream Theater who cares about the fans and will come out to play, even when the natives are wild... hell, if I were in a band, I'd just say the hell with it, and not play for the ungrateful crowd... but then again, maybe that is why I'm not in Dream Theater. That, and the fact that I can't play 'Flight Of The Bumblebee' on my guitar, let alone as fast and clean as John Petrucci does. All comments/criticisms welcome.

As SX don't seem to play many live shows, this 2 CD set is a must for all serious SX fans. Plus we also get to hear if they can pull some of their amazing studio recording's, off live. Quite amazingly (for me) they sound great live, easily eclipsing the studio counterparts. Now onto the actual bootleg itself: The 2 CD set comes superbly packaged with full colour liner, with pictures from the show in a slimline clear tray double cd case that could easily pass for a mass made professionaly made boot. The discs themselves come complete with full colour labels.. The sound quality, for an audience recording is close to perfect as you can get, from this source. For most all the instruments are clear and quite clear in the mix. There is little, next to no, annoying audience chatter or talking to detract from the music. I don't know how many of this limited edition of 75 sets are left, but get them while you can. BTW I did pay full price for this boot :) GaZ There is more information and a mp3 of 'Of Sins And Shadows' at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Mezzanine/9326/oan.htm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 17:49:06 +1100 From: Graham Boyle To: email_address_removed Subject: new Gathering CD Message-ID: I need a favour from a jammer in Europe, please :) Would somebody be kind enought to pick up the new CD from The Gathering 'How To Measure A Planet?' the double cd version, as it's impossible for me to obtain here. I'd gladly re-enburse any expenses with either cash bootleg cdrs, stuffed kangaroos, etc, etc :) Thanks Please reply to email_address_removed GaZ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 02:33:08 -0500 From: "Scott Sturdivant" To: Subject: Philly Show *some random spoilers* Message-ID: <000d01be3234$53ff96e0$message_id_removed> Well, not much to say other than, WOW what a show. But um, thats standard for a Dream Theater show. Anyway, they did play Nightmare Cinema, which came about spontaneously due to Mike frantic "NIGHTMARE CINEMA" cries to the powers that be. (Thanks mike for listening!) As to all the jammers I did meet, HI!, and to all those I didn't, where the hell were you?! Pete, Tempus, Maraya?!?! But to Skadz, Mads, Ms. Mads, Bogie, and countless others, it was a pleasure! On to the actual concert. The concert started off lame in a sense that the stupid people in the audience couldn't get it into their thick skulls that this wasn't a "normal" concert. They obviously didn't have the intelligence to read the signs on the doors leading into the hall saying "we will not play pull me under or anything of that sort." So, until Porntoy yelled at one person who kept clamoring for TTT, the concert was so-so. But afterwards, people began to realize that their efforts were futile, and maybe they should just sit back and relax. Of course during this entire time, I'm belting out the vocals at the top of my lungs and everyone was looking at me like I was crazy because one, I knew what the hell they were playing, and two, I liked it :) Ok, for those of you who do want details as to what was played, read on. (In no specific order, and I'm sure some songs are going to get left out) Cover My Eyes Speak To Me The Way It Used To Be Different Strings La Villa Strangiato (guitar solo part and "monsters" section) Cygnus X-1 teaser Hell's Kitchen Perfect Strangers (nightmare cinema) Eve Hollow Years Take Away My Pain (demo version) The Silent Man (electric version) To Live Forever Hot For Teacher (derek wouldn't sing it, so they stopped after a little bit) Good Bye Yellow Brick Road Hey You Bad Since I've Been Loving You O Holy Night Metropolis II (hehe, just kidding) Ok, my memory is exhausted as well as my body. Thanks to all those who made this night memorable! Now I must sleep. Scott. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 01:17:00 -0700 From: "Korg Ecksthrey" To: Subject: Re: Philly Show *some random spoilers* Message-ID: <000c01be323a$78269900$5b0d84d0@korgx3> >for a Dream Theater show.

I'd heard Nightmare Cinema had broken up. I was afraid I'd never see them on tour. :) Now if they'd only get back with Nicky Lemons, things would be O-tay! Last I heard Nicky was pimpin' his ass off in Nevada. I oughtta go look his feathery ass up. Hasta chinchitos! -- Korgito jalisco chimichanga no con arroz, por favor... er...

Wow! No way! That's new! Did they play it some other time ....? I just can't imagine James singing this song! :) I think this song is one of the most difficult for singing. The animal Robert Plant does an awesome job there, on the studio version. How did James turn out? :) -- CyberDuke _______________________________________________________ Home Page http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Gym/3466/ E-mail email_address_removed.mk ICQ# 17392722 _______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 14:06:28 +0100 From: "Jan Opsal" To: Subject: Signed Copy of Chroma Key Message-ID: <199812281307.OAA21642@online.no> For all of you that haven't gotten hold of Chroma Key's "Dead air for Radios" yet, order it from http://www.chromakey.com now to get a signed copy.

Kevin left of his own freewill (no RUSH referrel there). if Kevin rules so much, why ain't he ripping out album after album? Please no Kevin flames, i like him too, but he's out of the band and hasn't done much since. i bet if Rick Wakeman became the keyboardist for DT, some you would still complain. get over it, stay home and don't ruin the show for the rest of us!
