Disc 3 is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Dream Theater: James LaBrie (vocals, percussion); John Petrucci (guitar, background vocals); Jordan Rudess (keyboards); John Myung (bass); Mike Portnoy (drums, background vocals). Additional personnel: Theresa Thomason (vocals); Kent Broadhurst (spoken vocals); Jay Beckenstein (soprano saxophone); Mary Canty, Dale Scott Robinson, Beverly McKenzie, John Williams, Carlensha Bethea, Denise Hilton, Carmen Brown, Clarence Burke Jr., Rennelle Martin, Chandra Simmons, Clinteeyah Brooks, Cynthia Ogbur (background vocals). Recorded at Roseland Ballroom, New York, New York on August 30, 2000. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Unfortunately, this fine live recording will always be remembered for the cover art. Released on September 11, 2001, the original cover displayed a flaming apple wrapped in barbed wire with the skyline of New York engulfed in flames. The band's trademark logo had always been a flaming heart wrapped in barbed wired, but for this recording the apple and skyline were added to reflect that the live concert was held in New York (Roseland Ballroom). The dreadful coincidence was a shock to both the band and record company, prompting an immediate recall. Tragically, this made the original pressings an instant collector's item to those who engage in such feckless activities. The issue received national media attention and the band, mostly comprised of native New Yorkers, issued a sympathetic statement that the recording would be re-released with a new cover. The recording itself is a live version of their prog rock masterpiece, Metropolis Part II: Scenes From a Memory, plus additional live material performed the same evening. The production and sound quality are good and the band's energy is fittingly captured. This same live concert can be seen on the DVD Metropolis 2000: Scenes From New York. ~ Robert Taylor Progressive metal heroes Dream Theater forge ahead, unmatched in popularity and success in their chosen niche. The Long Islanders marked the final show of their 2000 tour by pulling out every trick from their collective hats, which included elaborate staging (a la Queensryche's MINDCRIME) and pushed the limits even further with a frock-clad gospel choir. As multiple cameras and sound recording gear were engaged, the historic August night was captured for fans on the three CD's that make up LIVE SCENES FROM NEW YORK. The band tears through a nearly flawless version of their epic "Metropolis Part 2" concept piece that stands impressively on its own merit. Treating their adoring fans, the quintet presses on with a collection of older material, highlighted by the back-and-forth medley of "Caught in A New Millennium." Practically topping themselves with each set, DT triumphantly encore with a stunning performance of their suite, "A Change of Seasons." From a performance perspective, James LaBrie had improved by leaps and bounds as a live vocalist, and keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess levels the super-technical playing field deftly. Closing the curtain on the '90s era of the group, LIVE SCENES foreshadows a seemingly limitless future for Dream Theater.

Personnel: Paul Bley (piano); John Surman (soprano & baritone saxophones, bass clarinet); Bill Frisell (guitar); Paul Motian (drums). Recorded at Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Norway in January 1986. Includes liner notes by Steve Lake. Having worked early on with everyone from Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus to Chet Baker and Jimmy Giuffre, Canadian pianist Paul Bley created a solid jazz base for his own distinctly sparse and plaintive style. In the '60s he gravitated toward free jazz, but with less of the freneticism of a Cecil Taylor and more as a melancholic minimalist who would leave his mark on such introverted tinklers ...

$12.65 - B. Bio - Never underestimate the talent, power, and drive of one individual! B. is an entrepreneur, singer/songwriter, producer, actor, photographer, journalist, artist and entertainer. In times when true talent or raw talent is often overlooked or remains undiscovered by individuals in power for fear of being outshined by an unknown he (B.) stands on his own. As of now many find themselves spoiled in the entertainment industry by money or birthright, but B. serves as a reminder that all of us come from nothing and can truly accomplish anything we set our minds to so long as we act upon it. In a world where we are taught this very fundamental at a young age and then stripped naked of it by the harsh realities of adulthood, it is nice to know that dreams can become a proven reality. All one has to do to achieve this reality is struggle hard and believe enough in themselves to make it possible. Just meeting with this twenty-something year old often proves there is something more to him, much more. Charming, bright, enigmatic, and often elusive, B. is often observed from an outsider’s perspective. Camera usually on hand, mixtapes (or albums) in bag, music player in tow, and a brilliant observer and discoverer of hidden talent and strengths in others, the kid can even make you famous if you let him. He’s often written about his encounters with people in blogs that document the exploits of his journey as he travels from place to place. Despite the fact that B. is fun to hang out with, the real genius of him is in his songs. His songs are good, too damn good to be coming from just one person. His ability to cross genres and include a variety of sounds and substance material coupled with his lyrical prowess and professionalism is an extremely rare find in music today. The simple fact that such talent even emanates from him along with his long-list of other abilities and talents gives many a reason to be intimidated. The fact that he runs Recipe Records as C.E.O. and owner only adds to this intimidation. However, B.'s demeanor which is usually laid-back but assertive, overtly shy, or humorously friendly is both surprising and delightful. His charm and truthfulness is quite capable of diminishing anyone on their highest of guards and defense. B. has a kind of indescribable gravity to him, he tends to attract attention whether he wants to or not. His physical appearance, which is pretty easy on the ...
