Message-ID: <001001bf6cff$eb269da0$28c30e3f@breeves> As my wife and I were leaving the venue we heard someone yelling something about FREE DT discs and there was quite a crowd around him. As we walked up we saw a dude with a box handing out discs. Some good, some not, he was yelling and laughing at the same time. Yep, James Labrie singing songs from the first DT disc, WDADU, he cried. Who Wants One!! I stared at this dude thinkin....More balls than brains for sure. I sure would like to flatten him like a pancake, boyeee.... But instead I took my copy of When Dream And Today Unite and went on home. Jeez, now I have 2 copies of the darn thing. Y'all get one guess...

It's a somewhat well-known joke that the famous song title "Aura Lee" can be pronounced "orally". I just figured, and don't be offended, that DT's "Anna Lee" can be transformed in a similar way. ... . And that DOES add a new dimension to the lyrics: She keeps holding on Holding on to you Let her breathe the air Don't wanna be alone Where do you belong Anally And now she's calling out a name Can't keep on hiding all her pain You feel the rain move in As you begin To turn and answer the call (Great song by the way. I just felt like being a pervert for once.) Linus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Randomly heard at an english class: Q: Do you like Kippling?

Message-ID: <001a01bf6d6c$50dfc100$1f010032@corbyedp4> Well, with a bit of luck I am back on the Jam after being uncerimoniously dumped. And what a pants time for it to happen...! Just about the time I was expecting to read a shed load of DT Gig Reviews. Well, I've been reading them on MP.COM and I must say this tour is already shaping up to be the greatest... Can't wait...

Trevor is bored. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 10:03:39 -0700 From: David Dixon To: "'ytsejam@torchsong.com'" Subject: DT in Phoenix! :) Message-ID: Hello all, I'm reposting this, because apparantly there were no subscribers when I sent it last! Well, the DT show Monday in Phoenix pretty much kicked ass. I was on the front row, right in front of John Petrucci (very cool spot) for the whole show. I got to Celebrity Theatre at 2:00 (the show didn't start until 7:00), to ensure said spot... :) Anyway, I think the coolest part about the show was the fact that they played SFaM all the way through before they said ANYTHING to the crowd. They had 2 large TVs set up to show pieces of the story, and reinforce lyrics. All in all, a very cool stage show. The band was in top form (as always), and James sounded better than he has in YEARS - way better than on OiaL. Jordan's piano solo (directly after the ragtime portion of DoE) was just nuts - the man shreds! :) After SFaM, they took a few minutes to rest while the static at the end of FF played on the TVs, then the came on and played Peruvian Skies, then a 20-minute medley of several older songs, including PMU, UaGM, FiL, and others. Then it was over - they had already played for nearly 2 hours by this point! The crowd was great, and the band was totally tight and on. The show wasn't without its flaws, though - James obviously forgot lyrics in a few places, and JP's guitar was WAY too loud at times (esp. during the soft songs like "Through Her Eyes"). You couldn't hear JM at all (you could FEEL the bass, but that's about it), and Jordan was definitely too low in the mix. But hey, that's about normal, right? Anyway, it was the first time they had ever performed SFaM all the way through, and John was using an Ernie Ball guitar (MUCH different than his Ibanez). For any and all interested about its features, here goes - standard MusicMan Silhouette body and headstock 24-fret rosewood fingerboard (tiny dot inlays in the standard configuration, unlike the JPM's offset dots) deep blue flamed maple top no pickguard H/H pickup configuration, presumably the same DiMarzios as in the JPM series, mounted directly to the body piezo pickup in bridge for the acoustic parts STANDARD trem (not Floyd Rose) no locking nut, but has locking tuners 3 knobs (presumably V/V/T, but the third could be something else entirely) 2 switches (one 3-way LP-style pickup selector, the other switches between magnetic and piezo pickups) I believe that one of the MM guitars he used MAY have had a Floyd Rose Sustainer system - he was getting all sorts of wacky harmonic feedback during "The Spirit Carries On" that I haven't heard anyone get without a sustainer system. Maybe that's what the third knob was for... ;) Anyway, 'twas a great show - I wish I could see several more on this tour, but alas, I cannot... :( David Dixon, MCP Internet Developer Integrated Information Systems, Inc. email_address_removed email_address_removed ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 12:12:32 -0600 From: Mark Peters To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Florida pre-show get-togethers Message-ID: Hello, all. Some buddies and I are making the trip down to Florida to catch the Orlando and north-of-Miami shows. Is anyone planning a jam-related gathering before either of these shows? Because this potato-headed whatchamacallit sure would like to go....

Message-ID: I'm taking a Hard Disk Recording class this semester, and we have to do a final project. I was thinking that I'd do, as my recording project (which has to include vocals w/compression, drums, etc), Hollow Years. But I only know by heart the vocals. Does anybody have any keyboard notation for this song? I can get the guitar and bass tabs off the website, and the drums are going to be easy enough to figure out, since the whole song is basically in 4/4, but the keyboards are the hardest part to hear in the whole song. Can anybody help me out? I think it'll be kinda fun doing ALL the parts for this song - when I'm done with it I'll post it somewhere so you can all listen to it! :) I may not be done for several semesters, though... ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don't you think it's about time you audited my tax return?" or "But officer, isn't it morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?" ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 13:06:21 -0500 From: email_address_removed To: Subject: Do You Have All the Sales You Can Handle.?.....

------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 21:17:12 +0100 From: "Rik van Pijkeren" To: Subject: looking for 2 Australian guys I met in Zwolle, Holland Message-ID: <007501bf6dc5$d6621400$ad7badc1@castel23781> Hi everybody, Sorry for disturbing you with this, but I have got this problem: I am looking for 2 Australian guys who I met at the Dream Theater gig in the IJsselhal, Zwolle in Holland on November 11th. I spoke to them a short time just before the concert started, about amongst other things their travel to Europe and that they had some DT items. I gave him my email address and one of them said he would email me as soon as he was back in Australia (December/Januari?). I tried to contact them on the DT newsgroup, but had no success. So that is why I try it through Ytsejam, and I would like to ask one of them to please contact me (off list) at one of the following email addresses: email_address_removed ejvpijkeren@hccnet.nl Thanks, Rik P.S. Can anybody tell me why there aren't any Dutch dates (yet) on the upcomming European tour? I promises to be the best tour ever: they will have a favourite band of mine as their support act (Spocks Beard) and they will play teir best album (SFAM). Can someone please update on this? ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 5289 **************************
