i want a list of covers, not quotes. if we do quotes, we'd forseeably have to include the beatles ENTIRE library, and my vax account simply isn't that big. as for sweet home alabama, i'm not including that, because it was such a joke. dave had to be talked into that by carter, and it was nothing more than a way of making ants a surprise to the audience. i'm looking for complete cover tunes, and i just remembered one that only about fifteen people outside the band and roadies have heard(including myself;) hatfield that was hot. soundcheck 7-14-93. oh, and gregg....who's giving you a ride to atlanta? hmmmmmmmmm? ;) ====================================================================== rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 willing to tell you anything you harrisonburg va 22807 ever wanted to know about the dave (703) 568-4945 disjunct lyrics). ********************************************************************** "It is indeed a great gift of heaven to possess...plain common sense." ======================================================================Top Permalink
jeez, how could we forget 2001 jam (although phish's is admittedly better.) also, my opinion for the most quoted line in dave matthews short once had me' (norwegian wood, beatles, if you didn't know). i've heard it in recently, typical, mianarets, and lover. another quote is the recenlty jam that end's in "pretty, pretty girl, lovely lovey girl, spend my world around, you got my world turnin'" which is a stones tune, and there's been rumors that the part of warehouse that goes "that's my blood down there" is a line used with permission, by a band i'm not sure about. ====================================================================== rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 willing to tell you anything you harrisonburg va 22807 ever wanted to know about the dave (703) 568-4945 disjunct lyrics). ********************************************************************** "It is indeed a great gift of heaven to possess...plain common sense." ======================================================================Top Permalink
STEFAN LESSARD ON THE BASS GUITAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. i'm sorry, but he's just the man. he takes no credit, which is why he deserves so much. not only does he kick on bass, but he's also the suavest dude on earth. he must be really determined, too. i mean, it's not that easy to join a professional band full-time while you're still in high school! but now he has it made. what an interesting guy! hell, if i was a girl (or gay) i'd totally love him. sorry to take up space on your in-box folder, but i just had to give stefan the credit he deserves - he's a crucial part of DMB.Top Permalink

Got a chance to see the band twice this weekend in Chicago. Unfortunately only saw the second set Friday nite as we got a little lost trying to find the place after the Dead show. Anyway, Friday was fairly poor as Dave shows go. No intense jams, except for a nice Jimi Thing. The bar also kicked them off before 2 a.m. so no encore. Sat nite was much better. Only one long set and they mixed up the rotation a little, although they still won't play some of their older tunes (We were hoping for a Best of and netter Eric Hesse wanted to hear Blue Water -- when was the last time they played that one?) But anyway, the show was good, the band was a lot looser than the night before, and the venu was nice. We talked to Dave afterwards and he said he really liked the room and was going to push for management to book Schuba's for their next Chicago visit. He thought maybe they could play four shows in a row there next time instead of a larger venu. (They sold out Schuba's both nites). Dave also said he was really looking forward to playing with Phish. He said he thought those guys were really talented and mentioned the Power Jam he did with Trey and Page -- said he thought it sounded like shit with all those musicians up on stage at once. Also talked about future recording plans. He said he hoped their next CD (the first RCA one) could have about 15 tunes on it. Five or six never-played-before songs mixed in with old favorites. Anyway, it was nice to talk to Dave again and nice to see them in such a cozy place. They still kinda seem like a small band when you see them with just 150 other folks, there's no pushing in front and the band members mingle with the audience after the show :). Probably what it was like at Trax in the old days. Onto some set lists passed on by Michael McDonald, guitar technician, merchandise man and all-around nice guy. (He says hi to Alex) first Schuba's 3-19-94: SET I Seek up, Recently, Tripping, Jane, Pay for, Nancies, Minarets, Typical, New Song (he said Fenton told him he hadn't played this one in a while. they still won't give it a name), Angel, One Sweet, Watchtower, Ants. ENCORE x-mas song, #36 some oder ones... Louie Louie 3-4-94 I Recently, One Sweet, Satellite, Lie, Nancies, WWUS, True II Minarets, Typical, Jane, Jimi, Watchtower, Seekup Sewanee, TN 3-5-94 I One Sweet, Recently, Tripping, Satellite, WWUS, Angel, Pay For, True, Minarets, Typical, Granny, Jazz...

Hello all, I went to the BAyou last night to see The Empty's, a band featuring Doug Derryberry (John Alagia's cohort) and other musical hopefuls. It was quite an intense show and I highly recommend this band to anyone who has the opportunity. ANyhow I also got to see Michael McDonald (Dave's housemate and right hand man) and John Alagia who also attended the show. ANyhow, Michael told me, in response to whoever had asked this before, that the cd WILL be available at the show tomorrow at Irving Plaza. Whoever's going, enjoy the incredible new listening experience, (i've heard most the cuts and they are so nice) and pass along my greetings to John and Michael. Life is short and sweet for certain. yeah, yeah, yeah. Later, Jamie CogbillTop Permalink
I finally found the perfect filler to put on that tape for my friend! I used the Jimi Thing from a show I just got (thanks Ben) from Athens, Ga in March 93. Both of the tapes I got have these older versions of Jimi thing unlike any I had heard before. It was very cool to listen to since the only other Jimi Thing (by itself) that I had was very straight- forward and didn't jam. On this new tape the song jams out at the end, starting with some jazzy piano playing from Peter and then solos from the rest of the band in turn. I never knew that they actually sang Jimi Thing at the end either. Anyway, I was very impressed. LeRoi's always great, and he pulls out one of those great long Jimi Seek Up sax solos. Stephan's solo was a little sloppy and you can tell how he's advanced quite a bit in his playing. It's good also to hear Peter experiment a little also, I always found his playing boring and repetitive (except for Warehouse!). The thing I miss the most is Boyd's wah-wah (or at least it sounds like he's using one). Does he ever use it any more? It really adds lots of intensity and a bit of a devilish quality to his playing. Oh well, does anyone have Dave's new CD? I just bought Hoist yesterday and was extremely dissapointed. I need to get the DMB one to get my spirits up. Hasta Luego, Kwon P.S. This is my new address until the end of the school year.Top Permalink

Hello All! First, as Bob Lee mentioned, I was lucky enough to catch the band Saturday in Chicago (it had been since December 11 at Williams and I had the DMBT's - shaking all over!) so I was lovin' it. Great story to go along with it. I knew going in that it was a 21+ show and I'm 19 sans fake, though I look easily 23, so I was nervous all week about getting in. I arrive at Schuba's to discover that there were no more tickets and this beast of a man they were employing as a bouncer was screaming, "Even if you're fifty, I wanna see an ID" so I was bummin' hard. While my party was going to fetch the car Iw ent back ins recognized me, I told him my plight and he promised to see what he could do. Sweet, I thought. He went in, starting talking to Michael for a couple minutes, then Michael came out and they said that their hands were tied, they could do no so I knew they weren't shitting. I went back outside and Dave communicated his remorse to me through sign language. Just then, Boyd, Carter, Leroi, and Stephan I was just bummed out I couldn't get in cuz there were no more tickets. LeRoi expressed his sympathy and suggested my girlfriend and I walk in the side door with them so we did just that and cAme in with the band (free). Dave saw me enter and gave me a hug, expressing his relief. I just want to thank the band (especially Roi, Dave, and Michael) for being true and accessible to theEricTop Permalink
My computer was bugging out so I'll continue that last message here. The show was great in my opinion. Highlights for me included Dave REALLY getting into his screams on Seek Up and Minarets, a killer Angel From Montgomery (not since Thanksgiving at Trax for me), some nice violin addition to Jane, Leroi on Watchtower and Pay For (I love him on this), and the encore. I was pleased to see the relatively unitiated Chicago crowd REALLY getting into it (especially solo Dave which is suprising). The sound and atmosphere was really nice. Stephan was thundering like Thor and Carter blew me away yet again. I did request a Blue Water but to no avail. Good News, though - talking to Dave afterwards I was asking about Blue Water and he said it'll come back, not to worry - just keep reminding them how killer some of these tunes we miss are- Blue Water, Maker, #34 (Jeff said they've been practicing this ne - Yes!!), Best of What's Around. Maybe they'll reappear on the first RCA album (fingers crossed). Anyway, I just wanted to thank the band again for playing some of the grooviest tunes around now and for still being cool enough to help youngins like me hear them! There were about 5 people taping but they were Deadheads, not netters. I arranged a trade with one of them so I hope we'll have a tape of this very nice nugget sometime soon. I'll let everyone know. One last thing, my girlfriend and I are hoping to do a DMB New York trek three weekends from now. That is, Cornell Sat. and St. Lawrence (free I believe) Sunday. One problem, probably no car. Is anyone out there crazy enough to join and help us I'll do the taping and we can arrange $. I'm afraid after the first RCA CD that it won't be so easy or cheap to catch this killer band anymore so let's take advantage of it now. LEt me know, thanks. I've got alot of killer tapes for the trip too. Sorry I'm so garrulous, thanks for reading, Eric HesseTop Permalink

howdy, y'all! y'all are talking about on this list, so i mostly just lurk. i have a friend in c-ville who had sent me a few dmb odds'n'ends and then stood in line for hours to get me an autographed copy of _remember two things_ last november. on it, dave signed 'we're coming soon to austin. see you there,' but so far that hasn't happened unless i completely missed it. they've recently announced a may 8 phish show, but when i called in they didn't know who was opening. does anyone know if dmb will be with them? i know absolutely nothing about phish, so if the price is too steep i might bail on this anyway. what are they like? all this talk of taping has me intrigued. would anyone be willing to tape some particularly good show for me? i'd be happy to send a tape & postage or let someone pick from my meager list of bootlegs. jen jrs@ccwf.cc.utexas.eduTop Permalink

Hi! Well everybody, I've got a major tape grovel. I'm REALLY needing some nice sounding Widespread Panic tapes, audience or board (though SBD preferred, of course). As for trades, I've got about 250 hours of Dead (including about 100 hours of 1st/2nd gen boards), and another 200 hours of non-Dead (a little bit of everything). Please help! -Dave dforbis@birch.ee.vt.eduTop Permalink
kind of funny. when r2t came out a really bad review of it showed up here, and everyone and his/her brother came out with the blowtorches, and i was first in line with a fireshooter. so here i am to say that i really am disappointed with the recently ep. if you'd rather here it for yourself then skip the rest of this message. let me put on my asbestos suit, and then i'll explain.... first of all, i knew the recently cut was pretty weak. i'll just leave it at that i like recently the way it is, and editing it for radio is to be left for the radio stations to enjoy. now, for the nitty gritty. each of the songs on the cd is well recorded and well mastered, but the cd is terribly incohesive. we all love dave matthews and tim reynolds playing together, but i can now say i'll never use dm/tr to fill for a dmb tape or vise versa. they just don't seem to flow that well. (at least, going from acoustic warehouse to full band watchtower doesn't work that well.) and then i got to halloween, and lo and behold, dave's guitar has been filtered through some sort of effects rack. enough said. COMPLETELY changes the introductory feel of the song, and i'd have to say for the worse. it sounds almost like a steel guitar with a little dirtying up, but not quite distorted. at any rate, one of the most amazing things i've always gotten out of this song is just how powerful it is, despite how dry it is musically. overall, i'm really more likely to pop my crisp copy of feb 22 in the old tapedeck and listen to the whole show, with an un-effected halloween at the end. (and yes, i'll make copies for anyone who sends me blanks, but my system is pretty poor, so you'll prolly lose at least a generation and a half of quality.) oh well. dave knows what he wants to do with his music. no prob. i'm just damn glad i do have the tape. i'm prolly just going to hold on to recently as a collector's item more than anything else. sorry to derail anyones train... ====================================================================== rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 willing to tell you anything you harrisonburg va 22807 ever wanted to know about the dave (703) 568-4945 disjunct lyrics). ********************************************************************** "it is indeed a great gift of heaven to possess...plain common sense."

this is the address for ordering the cd5: DAVE MATTHEWS BAND PO BOX 1911 CHARLOTTESVILLE VA 22903 you can order it by check or money order for $9.50 ($7 + $2.50 s&h). i know the shipping and handling is a bit steep, but life goes on. if you want to order it with a credit card you can do it over the phone, but i don't know the 1-800 number right off hand. i'll post it tomorrow, unless someone else has it handy... but then again, i'm digestified, so if someone else has it handy, i'll have posted it again anyway. neat. by the way, i really dig the new phish cd, and highly recommend it, along with their first four, to anyone lurking around these parts... ====================================================================== rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 willing to tell you anything you harrisonburg va 22807 ever wanted to know about the dave (703) 568-4945 disjunct lyrics). ********************************************************************** "it is indeed a great gift of heaven to possess...plain common sense."

We here in Lexington, Va had the Recently EP sold at Night Owl Music and it had the B+W cover that everyone speaks of. A little tidbit for anyone who cares.... If you can find it at your college radio station, they might have the Radio Promo Recently disc. Its got the 3rd radio edit of Recently (which is pretty bad), a radio edit of Ants (cutting out the 30 sec drum intro) and the album versions of Tripping Billies and Song tha Jane Likes. The coolest part about this disc is the cover. Its the same 2 people on the new one, but they are moved around so you can see that the guy is holding a pumpkin. Anyway.. if you run into it, it's kinda neat..Top Permalink
Bob Gee orginally sent this message but for some reason or another ------ As I was driving home this morning about 11, listening to WCBR 92.7 THE BEAR, a nice bluesy tune was just finishing and the dj gave the title, artist of the past few songs... Mark Curry (I think) the somebody Harmon Band and "terrific stuff from the Dave Matthews Band from their album Remember Two Things. The track was called Recently." I didn't actually hear the song, but was shocked to hear the dude say this. The Bear is probably the most alternative of the non-college stations in Chicago (actually I think it's out of Arlington Heights). They usually play stuff I've never heard before, some good some not-so-good. So this a good place for them to start in Chicago I guess. Next they'll be picked up on XRT and hopefully stay there (like WSP) and never make it to Q101, the shitty alterna-pop trendy overplay the hell of songs station. Well, just thought I'd share this rare moment. BobTop Permalink

I am going to be up in Williamsburg next weekend, and was wondering if anyone had any information about the show (location, time, ticket prices and availability to non-W&M students, etc.). There are going to be 6 bands at the show, and all proceeds (I think all) are Gibb Droll Band, Boy-O-Boy, BS&M (only other band I've seen from the list, and they're very good), and Eddie From Ohio. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. Doors open at 10:30am. Tickets are available to everyone. The show is at Lake Matoaka Amphitheater. The amphitheater may be a bit difficult to find, but if you go down Jamestown Road away from Colonial Williamsburg, after you apparently go past the college there will be a gravel parking lot on your right, and that's where you need to park. Just follow the crowd/look for the entrance there, it should be evident. (It's at the 'back' of the parking lot, though). If you see the lake on your right, you've gone too far on Jamestown Road. Call Todd (804 221 6456) or Greg (804 220 6813) for more info and group rates (so sayeth the poster). The amphitheater is very nice, and a great place for DMB.. They were here last semester and the show was incredible. Played in practically pitch dark (I heard there wasn't enough power left for any lights other than a couple floods right on the stage) when the night came, and it was great. If you're coming earlier, I'd suggest bringing a picnic-type lunch/dinner if you want, the amphitheater is almost all grassy.

Topic No. 3 There are going to be 6 bands at the show, and all proceeds (I think all) are Gibb Droll Band, Boy-O-Boy, BS&M (only other band I've seen from the list, and they're very good), and Eddie From Ohio. i've had the wonderful oppurtunity to see boy o boy. they were so good that a night that started out being one of the shittiest nights of my life turned out to be a really good time. they run one helluva tight ship, much tighter than even dmb, imho. i'm not saying i like them more than dmb, i just think they are tighter. everything is from the harrison- burg locale, though they've relocated. i'm not sure where there basing themselves out of now. i've never seen them, but i'm going to get the chance this weekend, so i'll post my own observations, as will many other people, i'm sure. ------- I'll Back You Up Quick Lay and Goodbye --- One Sweet-- Drumz-- Halloween i'll admit that this is a pretty damn phenomenal setlist, but the blatant reference to the dead really strikes me as out of place here. i know people are bitching about it on phish.net all the time, but phish does actually have a lot of influence coming off of the dead. dave himself has specifically stated that he has never really paid much attention to them, and i really think that carter has nothing in common with them. i'm not in anyway saying that i don't want dead discussed here, and don't want to start any of that "other band" crap that phish.net is so known for, but drumz is the name of the grateful dead's extended drum solo, whereas the solo before and after halloween is more a true part of halloween, and is a completely different sounding drum solo. if i really wanted to compare what carter does with a song by another band, i'd call it yyz.

Actually, I was just wondering if anyone has a nice copy of this recent (3-26) Irving Plaza show. I'd love a DAT or master/1st gen on analog. I have alot of very nice DMB on analog and some interesting DATs too. I send a list to those interested, just let me know. Thanks alot. Also, I've often conceived of the FloodZone (my DMB home) as "The Warehouse" and I find it a bit nitpicky to expend the energy to bring the understood difference between Carter and Bill and Mickey. I think that it was habit to use the notation of drumz and not a willful attempt to conflate these two separate artists. I'd love to hear NY, thanks! Eric HesseTop Permalink
Insert "to light" after Mickey, thanks. EricTop Permalink
I'm trying to think back in time..."Warehouse" was written before Dave ever started playing shows at the Floodzone, wasn't it? I may be wrong, but I'm just guessing... This is the first time I've posted here--only been lurking for a while--but I was wondering if anyone had any shows from the days when Pete was with the band that they'd be interested in sharing. I'd love to get a copy of my favorite DMB song--unfortunately, I never caught the name, but they used to play it all the time when Pete was around. For my part, I can offer a trade from a small list of DMB recordings, blank tapes, or maybe we can arrange something else?? I'd appreciate anyone interested getting in touch with me! Thanks! --CindyTop Permalink
unlike dmb, eddie from ohio HAS been to austin recently. twice even. i caught their most recent show and thought it was well worth my money. (ok, so it was free.) but seriously, they're an entertaining acoustic quartet. eddie, the namesake, is the drummer. no full-blown drum kit, he plays congas and various and sundry other percussion items. there's a female lead singer who really has a good voice and then 2 other guys on guitar who also do some singing. some serious tunes and some comic relief. might want to try and catch them at that w&m dmb show while you're there. jenTop Permalink

Does anyone know exactly where they're playing at Vandy or how I could find out? They didn't know at the 1800 number. Help. BTW the Oxford, Miss. show was great. I don't think that I have ever heard them do Ants with the drum intro. I think that they did it because the people there (Ol' Miss and Rhodes, mainly) had only heard the CD. But, excellent performance. Have crisp trape, will trade for Phish at Wolf Trap last summer or for any WSP boots. GrahamTop Permalink
Hey, When I wrote "Drumz--" in the Irving Plaza setlists I was just refering that there was a drum solo in between the songs. I thought I should note this because they don't do those every time.

Hey guys, I'm not even sure if I'm posting this to the correct address... it's just a guess. :) Anyway, I FINALLY got my first DMB tapes (from the 6/28/93 tree), and had very little time to listen to it... I listened to the first set, and it sounded good if a little misguided in some sections... the only song I really liked was Watchtower, which isn't even by them... Well, for the last two weeks, I was in Italy, and I just threw in set 2 hopping I'd be able to give a closer listen. And I did. And it was great. I truly like them now. The composition of each tune is exceptional, and the drummer... my GOD what is up with him?? I remeber this discussion on the scene. Amen to that. What an incredible, tasteful drummer. :) Anyway, just wanted to tell you all that you have another DMB fan in your midst (actually, I've been here the whole time).

Carter Beauford -- percussion, vocals (jam on!) Stefan Lessard -- bass (thump and grind, and he's 18!!) LeRoi Moore -- woodwinds (esp saxophone!!, flute), vocals .. The Dave Matthews Band draws from the distinct talents and styles of its five members to create a uniquely compelling pop sound that combines the influences of folk, jazz, rock, world beat, and reggae. Some of it seems like a cross between Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, and Michael Stipe, parts are remniscent of a funky Miles Davis, and parts sound like the Seldom Scene and Ziggy Stardust mixed together. In an unknown show in the spring of 93, Dave described the song "One Sweet World" as a sort of "Virginia country funk," which is yet another way of inadequately describing their unique sound. ...Dave Matthews, the band's namesake and formerly a Charlottes- ville bartender, began assembling the group in 1991. A self- taught guitarist and an inspiring poet from South Africa, Dave Mathews has said that the goal of his music is "lifting spirits" and this band reaches that goal. ...Carter Beauford, a past regular on BET (Black Entertainment Television) and son of a jazz trumpet player, helps tie the band's various elements together. ...Stefan has played upright bass in clubs since he was 15, was 16 when DMB was formed, and continues to get more powerful and controlled every show. ...LeRoi has played with Carter and John D'Earth around Charlottesville for years; the man can jam!! to sing (but sounds great when he does), but man can he play that fiddle! At three HORDE shows this summer, as well as at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the crowd went NUTS each time Boyd appeared. Boyd played as wonderfully to that crowd of some 9,000 in July as he did on a lawn, in the rain, for ten folks sitting in grass last May. He's cool-natured and friendly beyond belief; all he wants is to play, and boy can he!

to pick apart teh characteristics of each of the band members, and how they're all different yet fit together quite nicely to produce the tight music they do. I've just returned from a three-show stretch, and having taped them for my own master copies for the first time (with a borrowed three-head deck) I've realized I can no longer survive life further w/o a deck of my own for this summer. I'm asking around the nets I check regularly for any info leading to a good deal (for a typically poorly college student) on a probably used 3head-3motor deck. I haven't taken the time to check the for-sale echos yet, because I'm not too familiar with the Usenet newsgroups (advice on good groups to peruse would be much appreciated as well) --Will SeayTop Permalink

i feel jealous for anyone that lives in richmond, va - that's where the brown's island festival was, and it was amazingly beautiful - beautiful island, beautiful weather, beautiful view, beautiful women, beautiful music! dave's set was pretty R2T, but he opened w/ two step (not heard in a long time), and also played best of what's around i think, and my personal favorite #36. but NO jams or improvs. too bad. great atmosphere and place for a concert. everything opened and was pretty good, and i don't care much for widespread, but they jammed pretty hard nonetheless. anyone going to raleigh 4 blues traveler/DMB or phish/DMB in winston? meet me somewhere.later on.....Top Permalink
working the show to get to watch them jam... i just heard them, but they were very impressive. got injured on the job (cut my thumb open & sliced the digital nerve....) anyway... i ended up getting first aid from dave's bus, passed out from blood loss, woke up to 'best of what's around' and dave's girlfriend dragging me back to the bus to get orange juice... it was a great show despite my injury... got to see my jmu buds... and it was a beautiful day. sun, sunburn, happiness... wow... couldn't have asked for a better place for the show, and couldn't have asked for a nicer day. someone will have to post the setlist... but 'two step' was a great surprise... especially for opening the show... and i was shocked to hear 'best'. truly shocked. anyone hear why the band was so late to arrive? hey... when you feel terrific- notify your face! clare emily ****************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************Top Permalink

first of all, i could brag and tell everyone that i worked this show straight through and got to hang out back stage with cool roadies and drink not enuff beer, but i won't, because it really, really, really sucked in a heinous way. we were WAY overworked, but that's a completely separate bitch session....let's just say i'm in a lot of pain right now and i'm not doing anything to make me hurt....it just HURTS!!!!!!!!! as far as the show goes, i was completely blown away by everything, personally. i'm really glad that i live in harrisonburg, a place they come to hang-out(with instruments in hand, of course) frequently. they also got to play an extra half hour because dave band was so late getting there. as far as the set goes, i was not terribly impressed. they played best, but i can think of better places for them to bring back such a sought after song. opening with two-step was one of the few highlights of the show. here's some of the other songs they played, but i wasn't very close to the stage because i had to work security at this back gate, which was pretty cool, because by 3 yesterday afternoon, i was not in the mood to deal with living things.... (i know the first two are in the right place, and they did finish with tripping billies, but the rest of the order is a little arbitrary, and i may leave some stuff out.) two step ants jane's song (with leroi jamming during an extended finish) satellite #36 best minarets tripping billies did i forget anything? pretty short, eh? kinda sucks that they didn't play seek up, recently, one sweet world(did they?), i'll back you up, and christmas song. ;) as for widespread, i took up a security post front and center, so i got to see john bell's guitar playing up close and personal (this is the rhythm guitarist, not the lead guitarist) and was utterly blown away. (he even plays the same guitar as dave.) you couldn't hear him for shit, but watching him gave me a new found respect for widespread, a band i love anyway. a couple of their jams were absolutely sickening (papa's home......). and their bongo player was so cool. he just sat there beating on things for two hours. what a way to make a living.... wow, i just realized that it's 11:15, and i have to read for mass com, so i'll see ya'll at lexington. i'll be working security there, too, prolly up front and center during phish. ====================================================================== rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 willing to tell you anything you harrisonburg va 22807 ever wanted to know about the dave (703) 568-4945 disjunct lyrics). ********************************************************************** "it is indeed a great gift of heaven to possess...plain common sense."

I agree with Rick's review, a great show, Widespread was the best I've see them. DId arrive late and miss everything, but I'll see 'em this weekend at W&M along with Dave and a sshitload of other bands.

Brian Lipman, was not small. I am interested in talking to you about that show, I thoughtTop Permalink
Does anyone out there have the Birchmere Show with Dave and Tim from Feb. 21? I'm willing to set up a trade. Have the master from Trax feb 22 and a few good Phish shows. Thanks alot ChrisTop Permalink
Hey There all, Brown's island was pretty okay, a little too R2t but oh well. BEst, 2 step...very nice. Sorry about you workers...doesn't sound like it was a good day for the helpers. I was back by the sound board most the time trying to avoid the wild drunken moshers up front. Moshing--DMB...It just doesn't fit. Anyhow I got to chat w/ John Alagia back there and my friends from the Empty's. Personally, I'm very impressed w/ the new CD...very pleased. i keep playing the Watchtower over and over...Stephan's bass in the beginning is mesmerizing. Dancing Nanicies w/ Tim is excellent along w/ Dave's moaning in his awe of the sweet music which flows from Tim's guitar. Also I don't think the flow of the Cd is much of an object. The fact that it is a cd lets you listen to whatever in whichever order you like w/o the hassle of rewinding or FFing. Good stuff. Jamie CogbillTop Permalink
Hey everybody, my tape said). It's got a cool instrumental with Peter doing cool keyboard work, and a ton of Stefan soloing. If you crank it, you can hear dave say "Stefan's tune?" right before it. I lost my copy and don't remember where I got it from.

okay, here's a funny question . . . does anyone have my first dave show? they opened for the sample in NYC in april (may?) of last year. they played satellite and watchtower, but i can remember nothing else at present. this show has sentimental value. --ben p.s.-- look for my buddy barry's notes on tonight's show (well, late, cause he's coming back to atlanta from athens!) bye for now.Top Permalink
