That is, of course from what I can tell going my inventory that he actually filmed. This was transferred by yours truly (me) and was NOT transferred in; " a la cram mode" but, in XP mode the way I do all of my VHS>DVDR. I decided to save this show here last because there is a; "wondrous story" evolving around this recording as well it closely ties to the reason for the title. Now, you may find this story completely outrageous, or silly as hell or totally sacrilegious! And I do find myself kind of embarrassed to tell you a such a story but, I'm going to tell it to you anyway ! It was the winter of the year 2002 and I get a phone call from my buddy, Jim. Jim tells me over the phone; "Hey John, I filmed the Yes concert last night, man, it was freaking awesome ! I'm coming over for you to transfer my master VHS tape and I got some other progressive rock videos too !" and I agreed and told him; "OK, see ya when ya get here"...... Jim then shortly arrives at my place stoned out his gourd with his eyes glazed muttering the words "master piece theatre, ah man, master piece theatre" so I look at him in with smirk on my face, and said to him in a somewhat acknowledging and questioning manner of his accomplishment by saying to him: "master piece theatre ?" and then he gives the peace sign with his index and middle finger and says to me "no, dude, this is master peace theatre" and then with my eyes rolling into the back of my head, I reluctantly agreed and said: "Oh,, OK". And then, Jim held his video in his hands and then proceeded to recite some sort of Latin language like a monk and raised the video towards the ceiling of my house ! Well, I haven't been to Sunday school in the longest time so I don't know exactly what Jim was actually saying but, for a moment there I thought my house was turning into some kind of Mayan or Aztec temple and Jim was standing at the alter of sacrifice as if Jim was offering the video to the Gods up in heaven above, and at the same time I was biting my lips trying to hold back from laughing,, but then, I could no longer hold my composure ! Before Jim could finish his; "ritual", I then burst into a hysterical laughter with tears running from my eyes ! Jim then turned at me shocked in disgust and said; "Hey, what is a matter with you, man? This is: 'God's Head Music', don't you have respect ?" And then I stood up and said; "OK, that's enough of this psychobabble bull sh*t", give me the damn videos for me to transfer and I'll let you know when I'm done and get the hell out of here, you, - PROG-MANIAC !!" He exits out the door and says to me in a scoffing manner; "Your no fun, dude". Well folks, you may not believe that story but, it did happen and for me it was first time I used the term; "prog-maniac". And if Jim isn't a prime example of a prog-maniac then I don't know who is. I guess everyone has different ways of expressing themselves...... The video itself has a chrystal like clarity, it's among one my favorites from this tour and I'm sure your going to enjoy it. The artwork was done by Eric, who spent on and off for the past few months working on different ideas on what he felt was behind the; "Master Peace Theatre" concept and title. And I do believe he accomplished that with giving you, THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF ARTWORK FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM!!! Like I said, we all have different ways of expressing ourselves, right ? Let 's give a Eric a big hardy thanks !! I think he's prog-maniac too ! Now, I have a question for you : Is there a prog-maniac inside of you ? I bet there is.... As with all Let It Rip Productions, please just trade 'em, torrent 'em and most of all, share 'em amongst fans, do not exchange currency for this recording. Enjoy ! John |
