Does anyone have a >bootleg of this concert anywhere? ????? What does the acoustic show have to do with the Freedom Call EP? On the acoustic side, there are the 3 numbers that they recorded at the FNAC store in Paris, which appeared as a bonus CD with some editions of Holy Land in France. These numbers also appear on the 'Acoustic and More' CD which was issued by Lucretia Records in Italy and which also contains the contents of the 'Evil Warning' EP. This also came as part of the special edition 'Holy Box'. Freedom Call was issued as a separate EP and also in a double CD set with one of the other CDs (can't remember which one right now). There is an acoustic bootleg recorded in Argentina which is not bad. Sorry, but I don't have the means to make you a copy of it. >On a similar Angra note, what are they up to these days? Well they played the last gigs of the Fireworld tour in Brazil last september. They are supposed to be taking a break, but Andre has a solo disk to work on. I don't think that their next CD is expected until late 2000/early 2001 Charlie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 04:39:21 -0000 From: "Charlie_Farrell" To: , "Partha Mukhopadhyay" Subject: A NOTE ON THE TILES WEBSITE SAYS....

For some reason I have never been there even though I've seen like 30 or 40 concerts. The only band I was ever going to see there was Extreme but they wound up canceling on the night of the show due to Gary Cherone's voice problems! Yeah, I guess the seating capcity is about the same. Maybe it's just mpre expensive to play than the electric factory? I dunno. It's weird but I never hear of any hard rock/metal bands playing there at all anymore. Maybe they just don't book those kinds of shows there anymore? Well, I guess I'm the only one that doesn't mind the electric factory. And the ventalation was fine the last time I went there, which was Megadeth in November. All the side doros were left open.If thats not enough ventalation then I don't know what is! At any rate, I can't wait to see them. I'm curious as to how many songs they will do before breaking into SFAM.

So a three hour drive to Chicago, or *gasp* a two hour drive to Cinncinati is NOT something to complain about.

I'm not so sure about that. I bet that if you polled everyone, it may be split evenly 3 ways: 1/3 with "metal" tastes, 1/3 with "prog" tastes, and 1/3 with overlapping tastes. I know that you are a "prog" guy at heart... I myself am a die-hard "metal" guy at heart that likes straight ahead metal, but also likes challenging (ie. progressive) metal. However, I do like some prog stuff... old Rush is awesome, and I grew up listening to my dad's old Yes albums. Of the ones I've heard, I love the "Classic Yes" compilation, "Close To the Edge", and my favorite "Drama". Mind you, I haven't heard all of their stuff. I would love to see a DT/Yes show. I went into the DT/ELP/DP show with an open mind and had a blast. Carl Palmer knocked me on my ass! (I've always been a big DP fan.) So, I have a feeling I'd love a DT/Yes gig too.
