| Thanks Scaramouche. I noticed on "The Dream Engine" (2006) Wikipedia page that it says: "Several of these performance shows, both as Over The Top and as The Dream Engine were bootlegged by fans and circulated on the internet, despite this being forbidden by Steven Rinkoff. Those bootleg recordings are the basis for what is on this wikipedia page regarding the material performed." I have only heard a studio version of "What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most?". Is there a live version included on one of the bootlegs? Are the bootlegs quite good quality? Do you think that "What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most?" could be a big hit? I'm thinking that Meat Loaf would actually be the best person to interpret those particular lyrics. Hopefully he will at least be allowed to contribute "WPOMBHTM" to a final Bat album. Sorry to ask a lot of questions, but were the "Over The Top" shows basically the same as "The Dream Engine" shows? Was "The Dream Engine" a different name for the same thing? If Steve Rinkoff was making videos, then Don would probably be the person to ask. He seems to be the official archiver of Jim's history. Although he is reluctant to help with "Wuthering Heights". I'm not sure why. What did you think of "Wuthering Heights"? I have read interviews with Jim where he talks about "How Do You Bury The Skull Of Your Country?". Its a great title. "The Dream Engine" (1969) sounds like it was very "BOOH The Musical"ish. The Lost Boys and their tribe menatality are so important to the "Neverland" story and "The Dream Engine" contains the "Formation Of The Tribe" song you mention. The character of the tribe is now developed by "Life Is A Lemon" but I think the basic concept is similar. Also, there are early versions of the "Neverland" script which feature Baal and The Historian (it must have been really awesome to see Jim playing Baal way back in 1969). There are some people who doubt Jim's claim that he wrote the original "BOOH" songs with "Neverland" in mind but Jim insists that is the case and surely he knows better than anyone else. Do you think the Bat One songs are in keeping with the "Neveralnd" theme? | |
