Mike Pornoy issued a statement regarding what happened: "A horrific occurrence happened at the end of the show when a fan fell from the balcony while reaching for a drum head thrown out by MP.

The seats I had this time in Minneapolis were third row. so it's not like I wasn't close. Maybe I'm just always unlucky because I always get around the groups of people who don't get really into it and try and sit down. I hate sitting down during a concert. although the seats at intermission was nice. > DAMMIT!

I don't think I've ever seen Metropolis live. That is the one song that I haven't seen live that I really want to see. I've seen Learning to Live a couple times and now Trial of Tears twice. Those four songs are probably my all time favorites. > Hmm. Personally, I'd much prefer to see Dream Theater in indoor, seated > venues.

If you don't like it turn it off, I'm sure there is someone who does. Its called freedom of choice, no one is forcing you to watch it.

The people who are doing it aren't worried, look at Howard Stern... Government is for three purposes only. 1. Provide for the common defense 2. Provide a framework for (inter)national trade 3. Provide a framework for national law, to be approved and implemented by each individual state. Anything else is the government being bloated and power-hungry, and maybe just maybe the reason for out $6 trillion dollar national debt, and our slumping economy due to the fact the gold standard has been tossed out the window -Dave Schott (AdmiralDave) email_address_removed http://www.bangarangband.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 17:46:04 EST From: email_address_removed To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: MIlwaukee Jammers Message-ID: --part1_1cd.1cd6404c.2d9369ac_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hey all just a quick note Local boys KOPECKY will be opening for Tunnels --- Featuring Percy Jones Thursday, April 1st at Vnuks in Cudahy.

I know there have been rumors for years that DT was going to rerecord all those songs with James and better production. Is it possible that they will release a live cd of this instead of a studio rerecording? Just curious if anyone a little more in the know than me has heard anything.

Absolutely, positively *RUN* to get this DVD...and buy more for your friends! I saw Opeth with Porcupine Tree last year when they played the entire "Damnation" album (a definite "top ten" for 2003, BTW), and I liked 'em. I never could get in to their death metal stuff though...until I bought the Lamentations DVD a couple of weeks ago. I now "get" the DM vocals, and have since purchased the four CD's I didn't have. They are very intense, very heavy (at times), very dark, and very good. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 18:42:02 -0500 From: "Rick Rosinski" To: Subject: Re: DVDs @ DeepDiscountDVD Message-ID: <057f01c411f9$9eb5a5d0$6601a8c0@amd1> > Opeth cheapest at Digital Eyes for 10$ > Flower Kings cheapest at DeepDiscountDVD for 18$ > Transatlantic cheapest at DD DVD for 19$ > Beard cheapest at DD DVD for 19$ > and Steve Morse also cheapest at DD DVD for 20$ Just a "buyer's beware" note about DeepDiscountDVD (and DeepDiscountCD).

It's also the reason that we non-US people like your country so much ! Your like a soap opera => all this for 1 tit on TV ! Sure when I saw my first tit I was only a few hours old, and it was even worse then this cause it was my mothers ;). I'm sure that without any uproar your children wouldn't even have noticed. Here on a live child TV show a few years ago one of the adult singers on stage had no nickers on, and showed all by twirling in front of a low camera. Granted it was only a fleeting image. It was talked about for a couple of days. No children noticed let alone were shocked. OK the singer was thrown out of the show and hasn't been seen since, but I imagine how your gov would have reacted to that ! lol Keep it up the US you crack me up, without you what would the comedians have to say ?
