Message-ID: I was watching, "Where are they now." They were doing a little thing on "Winger" and after talking about the old Kipster and his living in the valley somewhere, they showed Rod Morgenstein! They showed how he teaches at Berkely and the Rudess/Morgenstein Cd! That just kicked ass to see. They even showed an excerpt from the jam session video those two did. I forget where the video is from, my friend owns it, not me :) But, it was the same movie, nonetheless. How about that, DT actually gets mentioned here in the states on VH-1! Well, one member at least :) -Jeff E. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 04:40:36 -0500 (EST) From: Rick Audet To: YtseJelly Subject: Re: FAQ Message-ID: On Sat, 23 Jan 1999 email_address_removed wrote: > Has anyone updated the FAQ since Jordan joined DT? Last I checked it > still said Derek Sherinian: keyboards. UPDATE THE FAQ!!!!!! :-) "Anyone"? Oh, you mean FAQ Slacker Extraorinaire, Pat Griffin. According to the version that's on the Official DT page, it was last updated "12 July 1998". Hmmm.... a lot has happened and a lot of questions have been asked since then, eh? Yeah, I thought so. Here's an idea... everyone email Pat at: email_address_removed and pester him to GET OFF HIS LAZY FUCKING ASS and update the FAQ. Sounds like an idea? Or maybe someone more capable should just assume themselves as the New FAQ Maintainer? Any volunteers? Oh, hi Pat. Do you still read this thing?

Is this just a typo or did he change the spelling after this album?

The doors opened (late) at about 8:15 and we walked in and were surprised to find that they had set up chairs for us to sit in. I had gotten to the TLA at about 7:15, so I was able to sit in the second row in front of the left side of the stage (as you're facing it) closest to Jordan and Tony (which is exactly where I wanted to be). Syrinx sat in front of me. Jordan came on at about 9:30 and started playing "Osmosis", and Tony entered in shortly thereafter, picked up his chapman stick, and joined in the duet. They played together for a minute before John and then Mike entered in and added some soft touches of their own to the piece. And then BANG!!!!! Suddenly they broke into "Paradigm Shift" in all its glory! "Paradigm Shift" included some fantastic additions to its original form; it was better than on the album. They finished and we jumped up from our sitting positions to wildly applaud their performance (we all sat through the entire show, air drumming and shaking our heads, and we stood to applaud each piece). Mike stood at his mic behind his kit (a smaller kit than his usual touring kit, but still a fair size) and thanked us for coming, etc. He told us that the show would consist of songs from both the first album and the new album, and then suggested that we would know the next piece. We cheered as they broke into "Kindred Spirits", which, once again, had some cool additions to it--Jordan repeated the end part that he does using a piano setting, before going back and doing it for a third time on the regular synth setting which then took them to the finale. John introduced Jordan, and informed the three or four people present who DIDN'T know that Jordan had joined Dream Theater. Jordan was given many great cheers and shouts of approval ...even before John could get the words out of his mouth. [Someone else mentioned that Mike introduced Jordan at the Philly show and made a comment about platform shoes. I have no doubts that it was John who introduced Jordan as a new member of DT--and I must confess that I totally missed the comment about the platform shoes.] They then played a new tune called "Another Dimension" which was really cool--a very heavy track that really kicked. After that, Mike and Tony took a break while John and Jordan played their duet, "State of Grace". Mike and Tony returned as Jordan started into "Freedom of Speech". I'm quite sure the doctored up FoS as well, but I don't remember what the additions were. Jordan then went to his mic and introduced the next new piece entitled (something to the effect of) "By Accident" which kicked ass--it was a tune along the lines of "Universal Mind" in that it had several different parts to it, one of which was sort of Spanish sounding. At the end of this song, Jordan and John took a break, and Mike and Tony did a duet that totally blew my mind. Tony played his stick for the entire show, and had several spots during the show when the spotlight (metaphorically speaking) was on him and he kicked. But none of this compared to the jam he and Mike did--partly planned, it seemed, but definitely partly improvised--the interplay between the two of them was soooooooo cool. Mike played with plastic tubes instead of drum sticks. In any case, the jam eventually evolved into "Chris and Kevin's Excellent Adventure" w/o the wistles and whatnot. Jordan and John returned to the stage and CaKEA evolved into a bizarre jam. It began by Tony doing this weird distortion stuff on his stick, which John mimmicked with his guitar, all while Mike continued his banging, now with regular sticks. Jordan just provided background sound. Eventually it became a jam more along the lines of 3Min Warning, but I'd say it only lasted about five minutes, and then suddenly BLAM, they (on some signal from Mike) were suddenly playing "Universal Mind". They went through and it seemed like there would be no extra parts put into the song--and then they got to Jordan's key solo (at 3:46 on the album) and everyone else left the stage. His piano solo went for a bit, and then he broke into Rudess Morgenstein Project material. Unaccompanied. I think most of what he took was from the last track, "Over the Edge". We just sat there (yet again) with our mouths hanging open. He finished his RMP bit and then returned to the piano solo, at which the other guys came back, and at the appropriate point Tony broke into his bass solo, and the song continued as usual. Phenominal! They ended there, but of course came out for an encore, which Mike said they saved for last because it was too tiring to play anywhere but at the end of the show. Can you say 'speed'? The name of the piece was "Acid Rain". It was, for me, a bit too much because when you play something like that live all the sounds just eventually mix together and it becomes noise--I think it will absolutely kick ass on the album though. I tell you, it may have been the best show I've ever seen. Jordan? Fantastic live; and he definitely does have a cool stage presence, as he really gets into his playing. Tony blew my mind. And Mike and John were their usual fantastic selves. Unbelievable show. Tony was funny, in that he took a few pictures of US between songs. And that's my review of the evening. I'll be really looking forward to Jordan's playing live w/ DT. -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 12:52:08 -0500 From: "TheCowGod" To: Subject: Re: 10 fave bands Message-ID: <001e01be47c2$432e7c20$message_id_removed> no, no, no. top 10 lists are explicitly forbidden on this list by Jesus, a.k.a.
