Sorry but something just kinda pissed me off at the philly show last night(the show was unbelievable, levin's a god). When Mike announced jordan and welcomed him into the band, he made a crack about jordan needing to get some platform shoes now. It was pretty funny, but still, i dont think its right to do now. Then i saw something in a post about how JP said something sarcastically like "yeah we had a real good realtionship." I dont know, i'm just wondering what really is between them because it really seems like they dont like him at all. I just thought it was in bad taste. Derek was a great player and brought an unbelievable amount to the band. I'm gonna miss him. Sorry, I just had to get this off my chest. Now I'm done. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 03:23:38 +1100 From: "Duran/Pulgar" To: "YTSEJAM" Subject: James Hunt Message-ID: <001001be4734$a43bb340$b8e558cb@ld-bp> Neil Gallop wrote: James Hunt was great!

I've been a member of the club since it's inception (and was even a member of the 2 previous DT clubs), but somehow, someway, my subscription expired. Neil tells me that he sent a renewal reminder, but I KNOW I never got it. I always renew when I get that. Anyway...this whole time I've been waiting for my cd...and now it's not coming. If anyone out there has one they'd be willing to trade or sell, please contact me by private email (email_address_removed). I have an extra FanClub '97 cd I'd be willing to trade...amongst other things. PLEASE let me know if you can help...I'm desperate! -Kyle (Anxiously awaiting Feb. 1st for the L.A.

Oh really? Hey that sounds like an exclusive club! Can I join? Oh wait, I only own two DT CDs and don't really give a shit if Derek is in the band or not. I guess I'm already disqualified, dang the luck. I'm sorry to fill up the list with shit, but when I see stupid comments like the above (hey, is there a union for being a "real" DT fan?) I just have to speak up. To me, a real fan of any band simply likes their music and that's that. If you unquestioningly support their every decision, accept whatever attitudes they have as your own, buy every CD just b/c it has something to do with DT, you're not a fan, you're a fucking sheep. Just my opinion.

Personally, I think the jazzy stuff is more Levin, and more "another side" that wouldn't be on a DT album. Also, there has been a lot of arguement about DT99, so it looks like we'll just have to wait and see when it comes out... I hope they do stuff more like Universal Mind (without the closer) :) Nelaskon ECA ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 00:19:28 -0500 From: "Acrobat_DT" To: Subject: LTE in Philly Review/Memories Message-ID: <000501be4759$1ef6ba20$33562399@default> Yo Jammers, This is my first post to the Jam, so I thought instead of saying "Damn JR rocks & DS sucks" (well, i just did, but derek is funny as hell, so back off of him, you cant be that funny) I thought I might talk about the LTE show in Philly. They were billed at the Theatre of the Living Arts, which holds about 200 people (???? I dont know for sure, can any1 verify this?). The doors were supposed to open "around 8:00" but I think they opened at about 8:30 or so. Walked in, guy told me if I walked into the bar area they would throw me out, its like I can actually get a drink when my license says Im 16 anyway. Walked inside, & I was surprised to see that there was seats instead of the standing room only policy. Me & my friend got a seat in the 5th row, right in front of where Petrucci stood & played all night. LTE were supposed to be on at 9pm, but if LTE were a bunch of roadies setting up equipment for another group, they werent onstage. When the lights dimmed in the TLA, there was this rude annoying person in back of me screaming his head off. Well, to my surprise, it was Kez. Damn, he is nuts. Well, the lights dimmed & Jordan was the first to take the stage. He started playing "Osmosis" & the first thought that ran into my head was "Damn, i cant stand this song" but, hearing it live, it totally changed my mind. It was a great way to start things off, & one of many JR highlights thoughout the show. Tony Levin then walked out to join in on the Chapman Stick, which looks like the worlds biggest bitch to play, but he played it like it was nothing. Good Ole John Petrucci walked out next to join in, & it kicked ass just being 10 feet away from where he was playing. It was like he was playing to you, for you. Then Mike ran out, got the biggest amount of cheers, & joined in. That was the beginning of the show. The minute they blasted into Paradigm Shift, the show was nonstop on-the-edge-of-your-seat-piss-your-pants-and-make-mommy-mad action & it was fantastic, & the crowd ate it up. There was lots of headbanging, especially from the guy right in front of me, he was goin nuts & Jordan was looking over in his direction with a funny look on his face every time :) For the price of 15 bucks, this was worth every penny. The show was tight, & as Mike said "Last night it was the experiment, tonight is the first show", what a hell of a first show! Or second! The 3 new songs they played, Another Dimension, By Accident, & Acid Rain, were very good & heavy, especially Acid Rain which reminded me of Pups on Acid at times. All the songs they played were played very very well, & they did not dissapoint at all. On JRs stage presence. When I first heard about the DS/JR thing, I was like "fuck, I liked DS alot, but JR cant be that bad, He will fit in ok..". Last night convinced me that although the presence of DS will be missed in live DT shows, JR will make up for that musically. When I heard his solo in Another Dimension, I thought to myself "Damn, hes gonna rock the DT world". & I think he will, in one way or another. He also had a kind of charm onstage too. When he wasnt playing, he would stand there & play air drums with his hands. During Acid Rain, he got up behind Mikes drumkit & played Marraccas or whatever those things are called. The show was about 2 hrs long altogether, & every single minute of it was great. Mike, John, Jordan, & Tony: Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to give us fans a mini tour. Also, for those who dont live in NY, LA, or Philly, please, get Magna Carta to release a live show from this tour for all the fans who couldnt attend. We arent asking much, & ya know, we are gonna buy it anyways!! Thank you for being so kind, funny, & kick ass musicans, & Jordan, welcome to the family. Sorry if this post was too long or whatever, but you got a delete button, use it! Thanks for readin & listening :) back to lurkdom for now...

Don't worry about it. The playback laser is not powerful enough to damage the disc surface. Long term pauses (several days) could cause unnecessary wear on the spindle motor and bearings, but even that's negligible unless the machine is a complete pile. In that case, I would consider failure a blessing. -- Al - The Ytse-ProGtologist ^ Switchcraft Microsystems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It's supposed to pack an awesome buzz" --Butthead ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 23:06:23 PST From: "Trent Thornton" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: 10 fave bands Message-ID: I'd really rather discuss this than keep the Jordan/Derek thing going.

I always get the impression that >he'd like the signing and corresponding Q&A to be over as quickly as possible. I agree. I don't think he digs the whole 'adoring fan' scene. On this last occasion, especially: He acted the way people do when they're about to leave a party. He might as well have started jingling his car keys for effect. Maybe he just had to go. But he had most of a beer left, so I doubt it. Also, he was a little evasive. I had to keep grabbing his attention and I couldn't really converse with him. He clearly was not in the mood to chat. But you know, at least he did. I got oodles of stuff signed, and it's not like he has to even come out and talk to us at all. And the last I met him, he was cool - in the rain outside Irving Plaza last may, and he still greeted me and my friends, and initiated handshakes with us. But the time before that he really pulled a fast one. We're at the Vanderbilt last January(Killer Show!!) and everyone comes out but him. Finally, after over an hour, he pops out and says "Hey guys, what's up! I'll be right back!" And then he disappeared, never to return. I think he may have hopped in his car and sped off, because the last I saw he had gone to the parking lot. Yeah...he could be warmer. -- Joshua Rasiel email_address_removed www.j51.com/~mrasiel "Shop Smart. Shop...S-Mart!" ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 4613 **************************
