While the TV speakers masked the amount of distortion on the tape (probably due to the lower bandwidth), the stereo speakers really let the distortion shine. The distortion is spread across a wide enough frequency range that using EQ just isn't enough. I've been able to dip out distorted frequencies in the past, but I'd have to take out too many important frequencies to get rid of the distortion on this video. The distortion is also in frequencies low enough to cause damage to stereo speakers if played at any volume above a whisper. Because I don't seem to have the means to correct this, I am ammending the LTE Roxy section from my video. I'm really sorry that I have to do this, but I wouldn't want a bad audio representation of such an amazing show circulated. I also don't want to be responsible for damage to the speakers of many a DT fan. The whole LTE Roxy show was not a loss however. The following tracks were played at low enough volumes (or I was in a different area of the Roxy) that distortion wasn't present: Osmosis - 3:20 (distortion starts when Paradigm Shift begins) John Petrucci Solo / State of Grace - 7:46 Freedom of Speech (intro) - 1:10 End of Jordan Rudess solo / segue into Universal Mind ending - 6:20 Acid Rain - 7:20 Total - 25:56 The LTE NAMM video and John Petrucci at the Mesa Boogie NAMM booth came out excellent. The Rudess / Morgenstein show is a quality show as well, so I will offer the RPM/RMP video in place of the LTE Roxy songs lost. That would mean the following tape is available for trade by me: Petrucci at NAMM 1/31/99 - 10 minutes LTE NAMM 1/31/99 - 51 minutes RPM/RMP NAMM 1/31/99 - 28 minutes LTE Roxy 2/1/99 - 26 min Total Tape time 115 - minutes I understand if anyone wants to change or cancel a trade made with me because of the changes to my original offer. I'm truly sorry that I can't deliver what I initially promised. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 04:33:28 EST From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Testing For Tension / Collective Soul Message-ID: A few days back this thang called "Testing For Tension" arrived in my mailbox from Scott "Punkass" Sturdivant. The first 45 minutes of the show sound like they were pretty trompin', too bad I missed 'em live. I found myself singing along immediately with "Another Dimension." As Petrucci said, one of the guitar riffs matches the syllables. My head began a-noddin', my voice crankin' out, "a-no-ther-di-men-sionnn, a-no-ther-di-men-sionnn..." with alternate vocals of "wa-tes-tin-fa-ten-sionnn, wa-tes-tin-fa-ten- sionnn..." ("we're testing for tension" in D.C.-speak) or alternate vocals of "der-ring-ni-ber-lun-gennn der-ring-ni-ber-lun-gennn" ("der ring niberlungen" in German-wannabe). For those of you who weren't there, at 1:50 of track #1 on the second disc Portnoy and Levin start going back and forth with the riffage as part of the intro to their duet. On that night, it all seemed well and good until Portnoy decided to kick it into overdrive. At 1:57 you can hear Portnoy just floor it. When that happened, Levin looked out at the crowd with a big grin on his face, pointing at the whirling Portnoy as if to say, "Get a load of this guy!" Levin was just blown away, then after a few seconds got up the courage to take on Portnoy's beats. A hilarious moment that really got the crowd going. Kevin Madden and I walked into the Theater Of Living Arts around the 9-minute 20-second mark of "Freedom of Speech." "FoS" is track #9 on the first disc, and you can hear what happened when we walked in if you listen closely to the cd. I wanted to say hi to the band from the audience, so I devised a plan for entering with a bang. I took a swig of vodka and held it in my mouth before going into the theater, and brought along a Zippo lighter. As soon as Kevin and I were in, I immediately ran up to the front of the stage with the mouthful of vodka, lit the Zippo, and blasted the band with a big fat fireball. To date it's my favorite way of announcing my presence. You can hear the wave of fire that erupted into the air as a sudden rumbling sound around 9:24 on track #9. It was glorious, too bad no one took a picture. Anyway, when that happened a bunch of people shouted "BAAAFUUUUU!!" and Jordan Rudess grabbed a microphone and said "HELLO!!" to me. For anyone who ever wants to get Rudess' attention really fast, let me tell you, fire really does the job. Collective Soul has a song on the radio now called "Heavy." It's very easy to sing along to, considering you can switch between its verses and the verses of "Precious Declaration." You can even sing the "Precious Declaration" guitar lick during the verses of "Heavy." Speaking of layered verses, there's this other song around now called "I Am My Own Worst Enemy" that's a great doppelganger for "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies. The drum beat, the chord changes, it's the return of "DOOOOO YOU WANNA DIIIEEE??" Even the vocals for the chorus of "Possum" will work nicely if you force them into "Enemy."

Message-ID: Given the recent comments on makin' sweet lurve to DT in halls...This story amuses some, and bores others. I sit on our Student Union's council, and we were having an argument over this LGB proposal to Conference. The proposer was going "Well, it's disgoooosting [she's from Sunderland, say no more...] that straight couples can have sex in Halls, but gays kant!". To whit it was responded by our Services Officer that actually, it's illegal in Britain to have sex in Halls of Residence at all. There were some very white faces around that table, I can tell you! So count yerselves lucky that you can (damnit, I hate breaking the law. Oh well...Shame. "Me? Simon Dodd? Here, in the Halls of Residence? With a lovely lady? At two o'clock in the morning? Did no-one consider the consequences??? BINGO!"). Incidentally, I volunteer to try Lie with that Sunderland lady... While I'm here, can anyone tell me anything about a band called Accept? They had a song called Balls To The Wall, and sounded like that band AC/DC never quite became...

" i have no idea what i watched before that...i think it was an old star trek episode. all i know is i woke up with a nasty hangover from sleeping too long. and i was on a caffiene buzz all day. so....back to subconsciousness... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 10:18:56 -0500 From: "Earle Jason" To: email_address_removed Subject: Sex ala Great Kat, Dragynchix, and 80's cartoons Message-ID: >Now the Great Kat, on the other > hand, there's some boot-lickin' shit.

Message-ID: Hmmm...funky album. Not funky good, not funky bad, just funky. It'll probably grow on me. Two things that rubbed me wrong right off: Is the middle of 'Rock Balls/Destination Unknown' not just a reworking of 'New Mellenium'? Same key patches - everything. While I'm on the subject of Derek, the beginning of 'Platt Opus' is his piano solo that he used to lead in LitS with. What up with that? Yeah, I guess you're entitled to plagiarize yourself, but... Gotta love those Ty Tabor vocal harmonies. Yummie.

What up with that? haven't you heard? that's the new rage.

BIG MISTAKE! That little mistake made me buy two Tori Amos CD's: "Little Earthquakes" and "From The Choirgirl Hotel". (OK then, it was no mistake!) I was really Impressed when playing "FTCH". I got in on thursday, and I have been constantly playing it whenever I have the time. It's brilliant. That's why I decided to buy "LE". Also a tip from one of you guys/girls I think... So I got it today. I havent had that much time to listen to it, but I have to say that "FTCH" is my favourite. Although "LE" still is a great album.=20 This is another great example of how the YtseJam is ruining me. Not only do I hear about all those great mp3's that are out there and spend time and money downloading them, but you guys make me buy a whole lot of CD's too! Let me think... hmmm... Yes, it is quite a few: Explorers Club - Age of Impact LTE - LTE Platypus - When Pus Comes To shove Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight Marillion - Brave Chroma Key - Dead air for Radios Tori Amos - From The Choirgirl Hotel Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes And I'll probably buy all of the nr 2's of the DT project's too. This is tough on a 16 year old's budget! Still I haven't bought 1/2 of what's on my wishlist... I need to get a job!
