MSG as a cube with only 3 sides draped, half full (also much too big), BAD sound (too much reverb on James, James too loud, JM either not audible or burying everything, sometimes even the drums were not loud enough in comparison to the vox). apart from that very interesting setlist albumwise: New Millenium The Mirror/Lie Throzgh my words/Fatal Tragedy Blind Faith LSoaD Hollow Years beyond this life Instrumedley (which went like this: The Dance of Eternity Metropolis 1 Erotomania The Dance of Eternity Metropolis 1 A Change of Season Ytse Jam The Dance of Eternity Paradigm Shift Universal Mind The Dance of Eternity Source.www.themirror.de) lines in the sand intermission 6doit learning to live I am not completele sure about the order of the first set, maybe somebody can correct me there. Lots of awake, more FII than usual. It was interesting to see 6doit, although as a whole song I think its not so much fun life, because James spots are too sporadic. he comes for a couple of lines, then goes off, then comes back again. it looked tough for him to keep focus. what concerned me alot was the thought of John Myung with gray hair.

Even if it could only support ten or twenty users at a time, it would be a great help. Every time a new boot comes out, it's near impossible to get a copy because the boot takes time to spread to other FTP servers. If LiTS could host as well, it would be one more server, and could help the distribution to others that can host. I'm not trying to tell you guys what to do or anything, and not saying that it would be as awesome as the old LiTS was, just that it might help. Beliebe me, with my 3GB limit per month, I'm fully aware how expensive such sites could become :P Niall ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 21:53:06 -0500 From: Mike Shetzer To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Re: font Message-ID: <000901c27fbf$797a1440$9b00a8c0@SHETZ> does it only have those same letters?

It is without a doubt the most insane amalgamation of jazz, metal and complete and utter (nice for Halloween I would think) SCARINESS. It's a mixture of say, a low evil priest kinda voice talking, insanely timed jazz metal (read: Meshuggah crossed with, say, Mahavishnu), thrash a la Meshuggah plus church organs, tortured screams, and even piano solos. The worst (read: best) part is Frederik's main "singing" voice is a demonic sort of ruptured throaty voice that scares the crap out of me. I love it!

Why is it better to allow zero people access than to allow 10? What I do understand is that it must be a ton of work to keep that site up. We appreciated the service.

Well, think of it from a customer service point of view. You'd have a hell of a lot of unsatisfied customers who can't access the site and are pissed, as opposed to an entire customer base who accepts the fact that they can't download and is more or less okay with it. In addition, we'd have people trying to monopolize on those ten slots, trying to stay connected all the time to download the data. It's just easier when more people can access it because there's more of a hope for the user to connect. When there are only ten slots available, it's a much more tense situation than when there are no slots. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh - http://cout.dhs.org/ email_address_removed ------------------------------------------------- Before you criticize somebody, walk a mile in his shoes.

I've seen it done before on other lists. The login and stuff is only for members of this list exclusively, and nobody else. That way only a handful of people need / want at a time, and they can get access to stuff that people recommend to each other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Coutermarsh" To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 9:40 AM Subject: Re: media > On Wed, 30 Oct 2002, Steve Chew wrote: > > > I don't quite understand.
