Hey- Does anybody have any info on whether DMB has ever played anywhere in Texas?? I just moved to Austin from Williamsburg, VA, and as my good friend B. is fond of pointing out, I'm very jealous of all those East Coast types that get to see the great bands (esp. Dave and Rusted Root) on a regular basis. I'm suffering from withdrawl down here. Just wondering if anybody had ever heard of them playing west of the Mississippi. . . Thanks! Beth.Top Permalink

yup. sorry everybody... i know my sub lines usually have absolutely nothing to do with my post content. a- 'blue water' is called 'blue water babbon farm'. the 'baboon farm' is added to the song title when boyd does teh crazzy psycho wacked-out motha-fuckin sanity-ripping ear schreeching dizzy-making fiddle. of course... i haven't heard it without the wah peddle so i dunno if it'd be the same. but anyone who has this song knows what i mean about the schizo violin solo. this song was NUTS with peter... and the official definitively BEST VERSION of 'bwbf' is the 11.17.92 hands down. rusted root kicks ass. i want to quit school and follow them on tour. i had a mah-velous time at their show tonight (what little we did catch... but that's blake or gray's fault. it's always their faults. always.) i love fun-dip. 'you can lose your head. you can lose your mind. you can loose your way. lots-o hugs to everybody. i need hugs... so i'm sending them out hoping i might get a few in return. ******************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************Top Permalink
Just had to say how incredible the raleigh show at the Ritz was.... ..HOWEVER..if anyone has ever seen dmb at Towne Point Park in Norfolk, Va., we must bond over the extreme (cheapness) coolness of those shows. "Satellite", I've never laughed harder....the crowds at concerts are becoming a little young or trendy or something....more money for dave, though. Ahh..the old days when you could just dance right before the stage WITH feeling in your legs... ...can't wait for ZIGGY's in November 94... If anyone has a tape from the early days at Trax or from a better than incredible show...I'd love a copy...I'll send a tape or $$$$$ or whatever... got to go to class......

Best Satellite WWYS Dancing Warehouse Say Goodbye (Quick Lay, Just 4 2night) Jimi Rhyme Pay 4 Tripping Minarets Typical Recently - One Sweet Halloween OK, So Dave gets on stage, looks out at the SOLD OUt! crowd and says something like, "when they told me we were playing here, I didn't think we'd fill up half of it" and as if he was one of the New Kids On The Block, four thousand 12 and 13 year old girls start to scream. Dave could have said he was feeling flatulant (which wouldn't have surprised me) and the girls would have screamed. Ben was absolutely correct, the crowd (size and behavior) was nauseating. Needless to say, I'm psyched to see the dave element im used to tonight. As for the show. First, Halloween was unreal, sick drum solo and all of the nervousness Dave looked like he felt in front of such a big crowd was screamed out in that song. Some critical notes, ever since this summer, it seems like the band is rushing through songs a little. I was listening to 3-23-93 yesterday and it occurred to me that Dave didn't come anywhere near the extended jams that he used to. Best started and ended before I knew it. The other thing, and I guess this is expected with a major label album, but does he HAVE to play all of UTTAD every show, I mean he's playing 9-10 songs off of it per night like it's required or something. Now I love the album, and I love to hear him play any song off it, but I feel bad that theres only 4 slots left in a show for 2 Step, Granny, Graves, Quick Lay, all of R2T and everyother kicking song. well, enough for now, see you tonight at Toad's. PS Roseland was a great performanceTop Permalink

Does anybody out there in Dave land have a live version of Satellite Sun will shine No matter what I do Sun shines bright now with you What a wonderful thing for you to do Moon shine bright Reflection in your eyes (and so on...) I have a demo tape of just Dave but I would love to land a live version. There is another song on this random demo tape that I don't think they play anymore live because the song was backed mostly by Peter's piano. Seven tumbling oceans surround The ground that I dance upon Black and white and the rainbow five Colors in my eyes control People, people What are we doing in here Oh people When we stand over the ocean (chorus) I think the name of the song might be "The Ocean" and would to hear from anyone who has a live version of it.Top Permalink
Can anybody tell me why DMB is putting #36 on the backburner.ThanksTop Permalink
yes, blake, i would recognize #34, thank you for pointing that out. Ben(jamin) thanks for posting and stressing the truth about the opening song at TLA. I listened to my tape just to make sure and it was the intro to One Sweet World that they have played off and on for a long time. To everyone who didn't have the chance to catch the soundchecks from this week, i am sorry, because that is when they were playing #34... and yes, it sounded great, and it lasted at times over 10-15 min. (as wade can point out from uva, one hot jam) anyway, i do not think they will ever open with #34, or for that matter ever play #34 live again, especially without lyrics...plus it has too much meaning with miguel and the days playing it with peter like 3/17/93(i think) at the miguel valdez benefit shows...pick up that tape and you will find out why the song means so much and is so rare to hear at a live show i do like the instrumental #34 on the cd, nice touch, but a much better song in its old days i guess i am getting fed up with all the crap on the net now, and the questions and i just want to add my $.02 worth like everyone else. i just couldn't stay quiet anymore... there will be more to come in the future... For the few of us that were around close to the beginning of minarets, have you noticed how things have changed? just wondering... 'all comes down to nothing' WaylandTop Permalink
I've been subscribed to MINARETS for only a couple weeks and have just been sitting and reading.Finnally, I've decided to throw some things out regarding some of the more commmon discussions. Instead of complaining about the lack of Boyd on UTTAD we have to understand that for the first time we get to hear what this outstanding group of musicians can accomplish on a major label studio recording. After repeated listening I think that most would agree that on UTTAD we get to catch our first glimpse of Boyd as a VIOLINIST instead of the fiddler that we all know and love. As for this fear of commercial success,if we all know ourselves that the integrity surrounding this band will exhist regardless of whether they are on MTV or not than we have nothing to worry about Would you like to play, with a fool holding hands with a one-eyed jack of spades?Top Permalink
To any netters in St. Louis, I found out Dave is gonna be at Mississippi Night Friday, Oct. 21. It's an all ages show and there's a $5 cover charge. Rusted Root will be opening up for them. You should probably get there early-with all the posts I've been reading lately, I'm gonna be prepared for a sell-out. Unfortunately, there are no advance ticket sales, so I plan on getting there well before when the doors open, which I believe to be 8PM.Top Permalink
Can anybody tell me why DMB is putting #36 on the backburner.Thanks it's still being done...Top Permalink
I was wondering if anyone knew the deal with tickets for DMB's show in Montreal this Wednesday at "Club Soda". Any help would be great. Alex Crothers says that getting tickets at the door won't be a problem but I have a feeling this show might sell out- Iknow a lot of people from Burlington, Vermont are heading up there. Thanks for your help in advance, Rick Byerly HEY CROTHERS!!!!Top Permalink
through October 92: +30 songs through October 93: about 3 new songs--granny, rhyme and reason, say goodbye what about doobie thing and heathcliff's? plus christmas song is post oct 92, and halloween is kinda stuck in between these two categories. through October 94: 0 new songs. next person to see Dave, please tell him to get off his ass. --kerry but here's where i agree with you. let's say we include the ever so elusive 'old mother' and the non-existant (and i really mean non-existant. i don't know anybody who has actually heard it) 'little monkey in a crowd.' let's also say we include all of his covers, which i believe includes something like 7 if we include sweet home alabama and me & julio. let's do a little math here.....30+3+ oh... maybe 10= roughly 43 songs in his __entire__ setlist. rotation boils down to maybe half that. what's all this amount to? repetition. and i mean serious repetition. i noticed a setlist a coupla posts back with no ants. ASTONISHING!!! when was the last time any of us saw that happen? what i feel like i'm saying here is that-- yes, you can get kinda sick of dave band. with maybe 60 hours of dave tapes, the only song of these 43 i don't have are 'drive in, drive out', the two obscure songs i mentioned in my first paragraph, and the cover of the samples' 'nature.' dave really needs to write some music, and i think he should play some of that music so that the people who like him so much don't get sick of him. or grateful dead _at all_. they are going the way of rem. not that i don't like rem, but they are the sort of band that plays a show for the audience that is there to hear it, not for themselves. i think that if dave keeps going on the tangent he's on, he's going to keep playing the same shows, over and over again, because he wants the audience to hear certain songs, not because he wants to play certain songs. and if the audience is different in every town, then dave can play the same songs over and over again. why do you think he cut the intro out of not only one sweet world on r2t, but tripping billies as well? to make them more palatable. also, maybe someone could tell me if last tuesday's jimi thing was over 20 minutes long. i highly doubt it. now, i'm not trying to say any of this is bad, i'm just trying to point it out. people are going to start getting annoyed at setlists, and i really don't think that they are going to vary too much any time soon. if dave is really headed towards the phish movement, we'll see a really sick mooshie- minarets--blue water within the next two weeks. or a tripping billies encore with an intro where daves screaming puts both halloween and rhyme and reason to shame (wheredya think he channeled all that energy before he wrote hallween or r+r). but i'm not going to count on it, and therefore won't take the chance of driving 500 miles to see them in hopes of seeing the one song they haven't played in a while, because they won't. i'm not going to stop listening to them because of all this, but i'm not going to put out a concentrated effort to go see them live, when i've seen the same show before (regardless of whether it was with 300 other people in an off night at trax or whether it was with 15,000 other people at a crowded amphitheatre). ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
hopefully one night this week i'll be able to sit down and do some serious work on updating the faq. when i'm done, i'm posting it, so that everyone who's asked for it in the past week (which far, _far_ outnumbers the number of people who have asked for it in the past year), will have their own copy. if i try to send it out to each new person individually, it would take me at least a coupla weeks, because it takes a few seconds to send out a file that big, and a few seconds is generally all i have, meaning about 3 people a day would get it. so keep an eye out. it's a hard thing to miss, and should take up an entire digest, at least. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

After repeated listening I think that most would agree that on UTTAD we get to catch our first glimpse of Boyd as a VIOLINIST instead of the fiddler that we all know and love.

As for this fear of commercial success,if we all know ourselves that the integrity surrounding this band will exhist regardless of whether they are on MTV or not than we have nothing to worry about The point that a lot of people have made is that the band has to some extent ALREADY given up the tasteful experimentation and originality that they had until relatively recently. Perhaps we could do a little statistical analysis of the setlists since last Tuesday night? I'll get back to you all. Sorry for being all salty but . . . that's the truth, Ruth. --BenTop Permalink
dave really needs to write some music, and i think he should play some of that music so that the people who like him so much don't get sick of him. All the more telling is as Graham reports, Dave has written five or six new tunes (including one last week) and yet he doesn't play them. Do you think he wants to? Probably he does. or grateful dead _at all_. they are going the way of rem. not that i don't yes. I saw DMB two nights at the Georgia Theater in February and I don't think they COULD do two nights now if they wanted. They don't have enough material in the current line up to do two long sets in two nights (let alone four sets, two each night) without MAJOR repeats. also, maybe someone could tell me if last tuesday's jimi thing was over 20 minutes long. i highly doubt it. so do I. But if it was, I want a copy. now, i'm not trying to say any of this is bad, i'm just trying to point it out. people are going to start getting annoyed at setlists, and i really don't think that they are going to vary too much any time soon. if dave Hey, frankly I think it is bad. I'm annoyed, too. is really headed towards the phish movement, we'll see a really sick mooshie- minarets--blue water within the next two weeks. or a tripping billies encore with an intro where daves screaming puts both halloween and rhyme and reason to shame (wheredya think he channeled all that energy before he wrote hallween or r+r). but i'm not going to count on it, and therefore won't take the chance of driving 500 miles to see them in hopes of seeing the one song they Let's hope for the Blue Water on Saturday night! Although I'd be one of about a dozen people to know that song, by the looks of the individuals planning to hit the Avalon from this god-awful school. to them because of all this, but i'm not going to put out a concentrated effort to go see them live, when i've seen the same show before (regardless of whether it was with 300 other people in an off night at trax or whether it was with 15,000 other people at a crowded amphitheatre). --BenTop Permalink

Hi, like alt.music.dave-matthews-band or something. While Blues Traveler and Phish newsgroups have some discussion of DMB, we thought it would be cool to have a strictly DMB newsgroup. We are relatively new to the internet, though, and are a little daunted by the whole starting a new newsgroup thing. We'd be willing to look into it and give it a try if people on minarets are in favor of it and will use it. Is there any problem anyone forsees? Our reasoning is that the newsgroup format is alittle more accessible and user friendly. Also, if any internet veterans would like to help us out or just give us advice, we'd appreciate it.

All the more telling is as Graham reports, Dave has written five or six new tunes (including one last week) and yet he doesn't play them. Do you think he wants to? Probably he does. Personally i think dave is a perfectionist..... it seems to me he has some songs but they haven't reached a point where he feels comfortable playing them in front of 300 people yet..... i agree thought that he needs to vary setlists....maybe even keeping the same songs but jam them long like 20 minutes long so in a set he gets half the songs then they can do cool stuff like play star wars as an intro and stuff.... they need to do more covers imho and do them their own way... thanks rich alone, my brethren, is our original sin!"Top Permalink
Personally i think dave is a perfectionist..... it seems to me he has some songs but they haven't reached a point where he feels comfortable playing them in front of 300 people yet..... Dave a perfectionist? Comfortable playing an unfinished song in front of three hundred people? He did just this every Tuesday and Wednesday night forever. Half of the fun of seeing DMB play (for me anyway) was seeing songs evolve from Dave playing them solo, making up words as he went along (if you hear any words you like, make sure you write them down and give them to Jeff, our soundman...) Watching as each band member found his nitch in the groove... Granted, times have changed...The band is more professional, we might not see Dave come out and do a bunch of songs solo. I'll miss it. peace and D'oh!, BlakeTop Permalink
recording and listening to the new song ("Let You Down"), he was hopping around and dancing and said to John that they should get this one out soon "on vinyl" so who knows, maybe he'll go crazy and release a single of new material that isn't on his album. Or maybe RCA would be too anal and not let him do something silly and rash like that. Still, I want the song. He needs to at least play it live. Also, I asked John about that intro to One Sweet World and he said that it was going to be another song (by itself) but that Dave never really finished it and it would up just being the intro to OSW. It's a great progression because it modulates in the middle from D to B (as I recall -- verify, anyone?) and that also makes it a real bitch to solo over (which is why Leroi does it and not Boyd). Okay, that was the tip of the iceberg, that little comment there about Boyd. Gotta' open the can of worms again. Boyd has a) the most charisma of anyone in the band and, b) the least talent. His solos are redundant, almost always the same live, his songs are mediocre at best and -- this is the worst of all -- HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE OUT OF TUNE. I just can't stand to listen to some of my tapes, especially new ones because he's sometimes out almost a half step. The tape Alagia played me from UVa was horrid -- the whole band sounded like they were playing in different keys sometimes. Has anyone else noticed this? Oh wait, I didn't mean the playing at UVa was horrid, just the fact that it was so painfully out of tune. Dave and Stefan are usually in tune together but that horn and violin are sometimes.... well, not. Whoever just quoted those Dave-new-song stats is right on the money. He really does need to get off his butt. Granted, I just heard that he wrote a new tune but that is 1 for the year (that we know of). And, maybe it's just me, but the setlists are pretty darned redundant. Certainly not anywhere near the variety you'll see on the stage from that opher band... reid SPICE@DICKINSON.EDUTop Permalink
Sorry for the mistake regarding #34 vs. OSW. Contrary to what someone suggested, I was not trying to show anyone up. I went back and listened to the tape and realized I had made an honest mistake. I've been a DMB fan for quite a while but only recently subscribed to minarets. Sorry my first post was such flamebait. RobTop Permalink
sorry rich.. but DAVE a PERFECTIONIST?!!?!?! of those? i am under teh assumption that when you say 'perfection' you are disregarding dave's zest to improvise lyrics and tunes and talk onstage. 'rhyme and reason'? looooooong evolution to become what it is now.... 'drive in drive out'? still evolving.. not perfect yet, but perfect in every version played so far... (can you follow the trail i'm leading everyone?) 'seekup'? now that it's lyrics are basically definitive it doesn't necessecarliy make it perfect.... this isn't a phlame.. all who know this net know me and know i NEVER phlame... but this is rather an informative musing on the nature of this particular post (not this particular person.. who is a kind soul and roi lusts to pinch his butt... hee hee 2/26/94) too free-spirited and exploratory to just wait till a particular song is 'perfect' tillhe plays it... (all us old min.netters and fans know this..) for a reason... whatever it is, i dont' care.. but variety never becomes stagnant... and dave needs to add some spices to his pasta cause it's getting kinda soggy and redundant..... (no, benjamin-fozzy-girl-bunny... _NO_ lemon..) here's a kind've reminder to all the recent minarets.netters who've joined our family... please make sure you double check queries you're sending in to the net before you do so..... and be patient with us veterans.. we know you all may not be as vintage about material/facts/tapes as us, but redundancy of certain questions becomes.... well... redundant.. especially when it was answered only days before in another digest..... any comments/questions/ruffled-feather-responses/hugs/or whatnot please be directed to the below address/addresses.... with light and grace, clare emily ******************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************Top Permalink

One Sweet World (With a long intro that was neither Route 2 or Song #34!!) Best of What's Around Song That Jane Likes Dancing Nancies Warehouse Satellite Rhyme & Reason Say Goodbye Jimi Thing Pay For What You Get What Would You Say Two Step - Ants Marching No big surprises at all. Not even any little surprises. The crowds at DMB shows continue to annoy me slightly- lots of people yelling for "Ants" and discussing how cute Dave is. Oh well- At least I impressed a lot of people during Two Step by teling them the song they were waiting for was next :). time. The band sounded great- possibly the best I've heard them live. Granted, I'm a northerner who rarely gets a chance to see DMB- only 10 times or so, but I was still impressed. Some versions were a little short (Jimi Thing wasn't even close to 20 min.), but some stuff sounded great. The Watchtower encore had a little Roi solo that doesn't appear on any of my tapes, and there were a few other small surprises in the jams for me. Leads me to believe the band isn't heading down the REM road quite yet. Granted, Phish they ain't, but then, they've never really tried to be. Even if the setlist never changes, at least the songs do. Carter got in a nice Jam before Halloween. BTW- whats the progress on the FTP site? Just curious. Clare- not too much drug use. Luckily- they allowed persons 21 and over to leave and come back, and I live right across the street, and.... well, you get the picture. Bye for now- more wandering and illogical postings to come.Top Permalink
Anyone out there heard the rumor that Dave is opening for PHISH in Nashville October 18th? Could someone tell me if it's true? Thanks, BrittTop Permalink
Went to the show last night. A few Things to say. Low Points - Didn't get my interview with Dave :-( letting me get to the front and take pictures, than the far less crowded over 2 1 section on the side of the stage. However the under 21ers wanted me to stay and be part of the giant circular pelvic hip thrust dance circal that was going there? Is he going to be on the rest of the tour? Toads was really cool, the crowd wasnt bad at all(probably one of the best crowds Ive seen in recent Maybe a little too much merchandising going on, but I guess he can make money if he wants to. Later, MikeTop Permalink
appear monthly on the net? Yes, the song was written by the former keyboardist Peter Greisar and no they don't do it anymore b/c Dave doesn't want to do it without Peter. He did mention possibly recording it someday. they stay that way. Let's also hope they start to vary the setlists a lot. Let's also hope that they keep changing the songs ever so slightly. That's what keeps it interesting. should go in the FAQ because dead horses should be allowed to rest.Top Permalink
Ok, so I saw the band last night and have listend to the disk, and now it is ti me to write the article for Fridays paper so lots of people want to go into Providence to see the band. First I need some ?'s answered. Since I didnt get a n interview, I can only ask you'll 1) Is Tim Reynolds playing the rest of the Tour(he was not their last night)? 2)What is his relation to the band? 3) Any first week record slales stats out there. How about DMB vs. REM vs. BHT 4)Someone quoted an article on here claiming DMB was the Best Unknown Band in A merica. What magazine was this? Does anyone else know of any other reviews this favorable. 5) Any other really cool facts that might be good to include in the article? Thanks alot, Later, MikeTop Permalink
[a long ass quote, which I deleted] The song is called Route 2. They played it at the Lake Matoaka music festival here at William and Mary last April.

Hello fello DMB fans, Clemson University. Originally, I am from Baltimore Maryland. I use to have the luxury of trading DMB bootlegs, but since I'm stuck here in east buttfuck, I need your help! If any one out there is interested in trading---your list gets mine. I am preferably looking for older shows, but any will be great. shows you what a studio can do to a great band. The quality is good, but does not sound like the same as R.T.T. All in all, I think DMB is still incredible. Whats this about DMB opening for Phish??? That would be interesting to see live. I have several bootlegs of the two bands playing together, but have never experienced it live.Top Permalink
never really tire of them." Dead and Phish play different sets every night; have hundreds of songs. recently 11-23-93.) And I have to say that DMB jamming has a LONG way to go. llater --kerryTop Permalink
Last night was the shit. The best Dave show I have ever seen. It's tough giving the nod to a one setter compared to some of the all night 2 set shows that I've seen him play, but the jamming and cohesiveness and energy of last nights show left everyone at a loss for words. One Sweet Intro- One Sweet World Best Jane Dancing Warehouse Satellite Rhyme Pay 4 Jimi Say Goodbye WWYS Two Step- Ants - Watchtower Halloween We all, crushed like sardines, watched with gleeful faces and complete amazement as Dave and the gang tore up ultra extended versions of Dancing, Jimi, TWO STEP! and Ants. Boyd was the best I've ever seen him, his violin strumming intro to two step was a definate highlight. Carter blew everyone's mind, the intro to halloween was just as kicking as it was Friday night, Although Friday's night's version was equally unreal. Watchtower melted down into an awesome mellow interlude and came screeming back up. I'm still haunted by Rhyme. This was THE show, I cannot express the energy and musical interplay that sent the whole crowd flying. Hate to do this, but if someone taped that, I have 700+ hours to trade for it. Is anyone driving from the middletown, Conneticut area to the Northampton show? I could use a ride. Thanks, IanTop Permalink
Dead and Phish play different sets every night; have hundreds of songs. recently 11-23-93.) And I have to say that DMB jamming has a LONG way to go. While I agree with these points there are some others 1)The Dead sell out 3 nite stays at large football stadiums... 2)20 minutes of Dark Star or Maze can get kinda boring.... 3)Dave could play different sets if he felt like getting the old stuff out.. My point is Dave could be a little miniature version, shorter jams (I think Dave does a little more improv than those two shows) etc of Phish/Dead Just my well meaning two cents..... *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Chris "Boofy" Buford '96 | |cbuford@liberty.wlu.edu P.O.Box 322 | |Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va. 24450 | | | | it won't give up it wants me dead | | goddamn this noise inside my head nin | | | | _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ | | | |v3.3 | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*Top Permalink
This isn't meant to phlame any of the lucky people who have gotten to see a Dave show recently, but isn't there a way we can keep the setlist posts down to one or two. I love hearing peoples differeent opinions of the shows, but seeing the setlist in evey letter gets kinda redundant... Well, there's probably not much to do about it, but I guess just check and see if its been posted already..... Anyways, hopefully I'll get to write down a setlist of my own soon... *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Chris "Boofy" Buford '96 | |cbuford@liberty.wlu.edu P.O.Box 322 | |Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va. 24450 | | | | it won't give up it wants me dead | | goddamn this noise inside my head nin | | | | _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/ | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/ _/_/_/_/ _/_/_/ | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ | | | |v3.3 | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*Top Permalink
hey everryone thanks for all the warm responses to my post ;) when i said dave was a perfectionist i mean musically ......not lyrically.... to say that would be stupid.....as most of you guys pointed out.... rearely do we see dave change what he plays in a song..... everyone else might jam in a different part or a different way but dave rarely if ever changes what he plays..... i think this is obvious when you look at his jimi thing solo... being a guitar player i look at that and say i wonder how long it took to write that...now i can't say he plays it different at different shows but the two times i have heard it on tape with a dave solo.....its the same thing.... it seems to me dave is conscience (sp) about how the song sounds musically not lyrically.... just a thought though have fun thanks rich alone, my brethren, is our original sin!"Top Permalink
any particular reason why dave doesn't play cry freedom anymore? i know its basically a solo song, but he didn't even play it when he and tim played at jmu or the movie palace, c-ville...at birchmere? i really like this song.... does he have peter grieser, people-people type reasons for not playing it? and what about doobie thing? has the band played it recently? (i haven't really been paying attention to the million and half setlists that keep popping up ... but i haven't seen it in a while...) when dmb played at jmu last dec someone requested it during the soundcheck and dave remarked that he didn't remember it. it took a while, but they finally ripped through a verse or two of it. can any of you fortunate people who drink and talk with dave shed any light on these momentary shadows of thought? brian. penguins are so sensitive to my needs -Top Permalink

Haven't seen this posted yet, and I thought you all might be curious. Those in the area last Tuesday probably didnt see it because they were already at the show. Those not in the area, dont get local news. On Tuesday, 9/27/94, near the end of the Channel 29-WVIR (local NBC affiliate) Dateline News (circa 6:20pm?), a local reporter interviewed Dave Matthews from a media stand at the top rim of the area surrounding McIntire Amphitheatre at UVA, where DMB played. It was very silly. She noted that Charlottesville Mayor David Toscano (a wonderful man) was to read a proclamation declaring it Dave Matthews Band Day in Charlottesville, and asked Dave what he thought. Didnt tape it, so I don't have the exact wording, but it was something to the effect of, "Well, I didnt finish high school, so this is all very surprising." She asked "what kind of show do you have planned for tonight"; Dave laughed, smiled, and said, "Oh, I don't know. A naked dancefest with Ollie North or something?...No, we're just gonna get out there and do what we do and see what happens." Then, continuing a *huge* grin, Dave smiled to the side as the silly reporter wrapped up. e -- Ellis * jeg5s@virginia.edu * POB 3240, Charlottesville,VA 22903 -- Graduate student, UVA Dept. of Sociology -- Administrator for rec.music.phish FAQ FileTop Permalink

For the few of us that were around close to the beginning of minarets, have you noticed how things have changed? just wondering... Wayland you know, this is one of the things that bugged me the most about phish.net. all the old timers sitting around bitching about how cool things used to be. it's posts like this that make me think things like "wayland, you're gonna vote for ollie, aren't you?" just deal with it. when you start complaining about things you annoy other people, which leads me to flame you for it, which leads to more annoying things, etc, etc, etc. minarets has gotten bigger, just like dave band has. with more people come some problems, and we should just work with them to keep minarets a happy place. not the same place, mind you, just a happy one. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

hello, hello, hello. an interesting thing was happening about twice daily on phish.net when you enjoy myself were. so, anyone who had been on phish.net "goddamit, it's 'washa uffize and drive me to firenze!!!!!!!!! point? once again, deal with it. dave.net is now a pretty big place, and there's going to be a lot of people who are trying to find out as much as possible as quick as possible. i realize i'm not helping any by hording the faq to myself, but a faq that says "and dave's new album, tentatively titled 'remember two things' is due out in november" is a useless faq, and i'm trying to find time to rework it. i'm hoping to post it next monday, and alex is looking into the feasibility of getting listproc to make sure it is by itself in a digest, so that those of you who already know everything don't have to flip through the entire thing to see what's on the other side. so let's open our arms as wide as clare's and give all the newbies a big hug, tell them that peter wrote the song, then tell them who peter peter is the former keyboardist of the dave matthews band who decided in early 1993 that things weren't in his best interests, so he left the band. ciao... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
tim reynolds is a guitarist from charlottesville who dave used to (and may still, eventually) play acoustic shows with. tim is not a part of the band, he was only a guest on uttad. and i think that route 2 is a great name for the intro to one sweet world. imho, i think it needs a name now that it's so infrequent. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
rearely do we see dave change what he plays in a song..... everyone else might it's not really that rare...he adds little fills all over the place. jam in a different part or a different way but dave rarely if ever changes what he plays..... i think this is obvious when you look at his jimi thing solo... I think Jimi Thing is a great example that Dave DOES improvise, especially when playing with a guest (check out some of the Jimi Things from this summers HORDEs, Warren Hayes makes Dave do some crazy shit) Until December 93, David rarely even took a solo in Jimi (some exception 1/19/93 somes to mind) I'll be the first to admit that I hate that solo, but the song can still go anywhere, and it often does...Top Permalink

August 19, 1993. Wetlands. Dave attempts to start Cry Freedom. He can't remember how it goes. Carter offers to help (you can hear this on the tape-- "I'll help you Dave") and then they just give it up. Sigh. . . . Another song resigned to obscurity. --BenTop Permalink
Ok Ok so all in all it was a phenominal show. Does anyone know why TR wasnt there? Is he going to be on the rest of the tour? Toads was really cool, ummm...maybe because he isn't a member of the band??? Thanks Blake. However, I may be responsible for this becasue on 8/31/94 I passed along information from Carter that Tim Reynolds was going to be with the band on their fall tour. This has not happened. I intend to ask Carter about this on Saturday. --BenTop Permalink
hi guys. i was listening to a tape I have labelled as Van Ripers 1992, with 2 ants, 2 satellites, and 2 so much's on it, so i don't really know what it is to tell the truth.. but, between I'll back you up and satellite at the end of the tape (it's not labelled at all), is a song i've never heard before, & couldn't find any reference in the lyrics faq and don't recognize a bit of it. it's dave solo (pretty sure..), and through the dylanlike mumbling all I can [...] you will lie down you will soon lie down the only way down lay me down lay me down [...] i will leave destiny to chose which direction it is i'm going to i will leave destiny to chose which direction it is i'm going to [...] for fear we will go away most may most may leave this quiet playground [...] anyway, it's real faint, and all I can really make out are a lot of lie/lay down's and the lines about destiny.. never heard it before, and haven't recognized any discussion about it, and it's dave solo.. for some reason I remember hearing/reading about a song called Lie Down, but that might be the mind playing tricks.. of lover on 5/5/92 WTJU. be nice, brett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brett Kingswell bmking@mail.wm.edu you can't expect to hit the jackpot if you don't put a few nickels in the machine.Top Permalink
I think a lot of people out there are a bit too demanding of Dave! get off you butt and write more songs??? I don't think song writing is something you can do like a 9 to 5 job. You don't just sit down and bang out a song anytime you want to. Whatever happened to inspiration? I've always believed that songs are special and should evolve naturally. You can't force the creative process and that's something that makes it so beautiful and special to me. The same goes with a long jam. That's something that just happens. I don't think bands such as Dave sit down and say "we're really gonna jam this one out for a long time." It just happens. A lot of people out there are expecting Dave to do this and that for them, such as write more songs and play more diverse set lists (which also requires more writing or covers), while other people out there are hoping the DMB doesn't go the way of Phish and the Dead and just play for themselves and not the audience. Sounds like there's a contradiction there. And who says that the Dead and Phish play only for the crowd. I read an article where Trey said that he has thought about playing or not playing songs just because he played it last night and some people won't want to hear it twice, but he also said he tries to ignore those feelings and play what he feels like playing. There's nothing wrong with playing for the audience, either. Most musicians feed off the energy of the crowd. The audience is an important part of a show. If they don't give a shit about the audience, why don't they just stay at home and play in the garage and make albums and never tour. I got on this net so that I could hopefully hear more discussion about a band. I got tired of reading the Phish digests and hearing people bitch about stuff, like the Dead. Now I come over to this net and people are talking down about the Dead AND Phish. Come on folks. Different people like different music. Please don't put down someone elses's music just 'cause it doesn't speak to you. Maybe they aren't talking to you. Anyway, that's my $16.475 on the matter. Hope I didnt' step on too many toes, but I do hope I stepped on a few.Top Permalink

People who were worried about DMB ticket prices going up really do have something to worry about. Even though the face value of tickets is relatively low, $13 for the Avalon, the Ticketmaster service charges threw the price up about $6 more. Shitty. I tried going through the 1800TIXX number, but they couldn't hook me up there. If DMB wants to keep prices down, they've gotta find away around Ticketmaster. Easier said than done. There's also been a lot of banter back and forth about what exactly the name of the One Sweet World intro is. I have the same Lake Matoaka tape with it listed as Route 2. But someone insists it's NOT Route 2. Any consensus out there of what it is? We've established just what it isn't, now can we get on to what exactly it is?! Just an into to OSW, or something unique? I'm going a long way for the Avalon show; Williamsburg to Boston. If DMB shows have gone the way of NKOTB teeny-bopper, pre-pubescent, hormonal, tasteless, tacky, and utterly obnoxious screaming little kids, I think I'll have to issue some old skool beatdowns. Anyone else whos going to be there wanna give a hand?Top Permalink

I sent this to the whole net so it could be checked for accuracy... sorry to waste space. Ok, so I saw the band last night and have listend to the disk, and now it is ti me to write the article for Fridays paper so lots of people want to go into Providence to see the band. First I need some ?'s answered. Since I didnt get a n interview, I can only ask you'll 1) Is Tim Reynolds playing the rest of the Tour(he was not their last night)? Not that I know of 2)What is his relation to the band? Tim has his own band- TR3. Dave and Tim are friends, and OCCASIONALLY he joins the band onstage. More often, he works with them in the studio and plays with Dave in acoustic shows- there have been several of these. 3) Any first week record slales stats out there. How about DMB vs. REM vs. BHT vs. GSW The band's popularity has made them very inaccesible at shows- that is, they don't wander in the crowd during the opening band, etc. I talked to Jeff (soundboard guy) last night and he told me that the initial shipment was 160,000, and these were selling VERY well. R2T sold 110,000 or so (?) before UTTAD came out- sales will probably take off for that again. 4)Someone quoted an article on here claiming DMB was the Best Unknown Band in A merica. What magazine was this? Does anyone else know of any other reviews this favorable. 5) Any other really cool facts that might be good to include in the article? Lots- just keep checking the internet! Thanks alot, Later, MikeTop Permalink
and special to me. The same goes with a long jam. That's something that just happens. I don't think bands such as Dave sit down and say "we're really gonna jam this one out for a long time." It just happens. My contention is that it USED to happen (more than others on the list have asserted today) but that jamming HASN'T happened in too long. A lot of people out there are expecting Dave to do this and that for them, such as write more songs and play more diverse set WRONG. All I expect is that he and the guys will do it FOR THEMSELVES. And I feel that they are not doing for themselves. They're doing for the people who want to hear Tripping Billies just like they did it on R2T. Sure it's nice to play a request for a fan every once in a while (they've pulled some tunes out for people at shows I've been to), but I'm going to see a band to see them do what THEY want to do, not what the idiot next to me wants to hear. I want to hear Boyd and Leroi and Carter and Stefan and most of all DAVE expressing themselves. If the way they do it is by playing the same songs every night, maybe it's all the better for me because I don't have to go traipsing all over the east coast to see them. I can just see one or two shows and then go home, pop in the tape whenever I want, and take comfort in the fact that wherever the band is tonight, you all at one or another show are hearing just what I'm hearing through my headphones as I read a book at my desk. Doesn't this sound like it might get a little bit BORING? Yup. It does to me. lists (which also requires more writing or covers), while other people out My main problem here is that more diverse set lists for the Dave Matthews Band DO NOT require writing more originals or covering more tunes. It requires choosing more liberally from among the 40-odd songs in the realm of possibility for this band. Anyway, that's my $16.475 on the matter. Hope I didnt' step on too many toes, but I do hope I stepped on a few. Ouch! That's my toe Scott! a ticket to the show on Saturday. The more I think about it, I know very close to for sure what tunes I'm going to hear this weekend. I don't think that's a good thing. Scott --BenTop Permalink
Sorry to post so much today, especially because it's so crowded, but I think I can clear up this Route 2 thing. labelled Route 2 leads into One Sweet World. Note- this is DIFFERENT than the regular One Sweet World opening. Dave mutters some lyrics- sounds like he's making them up on the spot. One line mentions something about driving down Route 2. Anybody else have this tape and want to back me up on this? This is my last post for a while- I promise :)Top Permalink

gawd you minarets people don't know how good you got it! phish.net is a joke. it is disgusting how bloated it is. I'd say the wasted is no exageration).

I have a tape of 12-11-93, Williams College, where a song labelled Route 2 leads into One Sweet World. Note- this is DIFFERENT than the regular One Sweet World opening.

scott brough up points that any musician good or bad, different or indifferent (whatever that means), or whatever...that songs aren't something you force, they just happen. but if that's the case, why is dave sitting down for interviews and saying things like "i just want to write music until i explode." he's not writing music, he's only playing it. a lot of people originally got into dave band because of his uniqueness. he provided something fresh to a pretty stale art form, but now that he's decided to limit himself, whether consciously or not, those people are getting bored. one of the reasons for elaborate on all the new and intriguing things that come up; all the different takes on the songs we like so much; all the anticipation of seeing something we've either not in a while or not seen at all. but where is that right now? now that i see that wherever i go in the nation i'm going to see the same show, why should i sit around and listen to everyone talk about how great it was. is there really a point to discussing entire tours as opposed to individual shows? "so, how was summer 95?" "it was great! they played tripping billies, satellite, warehouse "oh really? they did that same encore last winter. two tours in and still, i don't mean any of this derogatorily to dave band. each band has its own playing style. they have their own goals in mind, and what other bands (oooooooh, there's that "other band" term we used to see on that "other" net last year) have in mind may not be what dave band wants to do. i say let's just watch and see what happens. if they turn back into the live band that so many of us originally lost our shit over, then more power to them (and us). if they continue to appeal to these recent trends of studio pop sensibilities, even _more_ power to them. if they come back to va again (and i have money this time) i'll go check it out. but when they line up they're dream venue such as a two night stand at the fox in atlanta, i'm not going to trek across the country to see it. i doubt many other people will, either. i guess what my last 6 or something posts have been trying to say is that dave band seems to be evolving in a direction that's different from what brough me into them in the first place. so it's time to let other people experience them for what they are and what they want to become, which in my opinion is a studio band. as a joke, dave once told me that his first major label debut was going to be titled "songs that everyone wants to hear." i think it kinda fits. dave likes appealing to people. god knows carter, leroi, and boyd do too. they know that people like their music, so they're going to play that music for those people. enough of my rambling. i've been pissing off too many people with my outspokeness now for two or three days, so i'm going to try and shut up now and work on the faq. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
Okay, that was the tip of the iceberg, that little comment there about Boyd. Gotta' open the can of worms again. Boyd has a) the most charisma of anyone in the band and, b) the least talent. His solos are redundant, almost always the same live, his songs are mediocre at best and -- this is the worst of all -- HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE OUT OF TUNE. I just can't stand to listen to some Yes!!! I agree!!!!! i HAVE noticed this- I love boyd, but its not only him- they all are often off key...even on the new album. new tune but that is 1 for the year (that we know of). And, maybe it's just me, but the setlists are pretty darned redundant. Certainly not anywhere near the variety you'll see on the stage from that opher band... I have one question-- Its been my impression that Dave has been on the road non stop for a long time now... and we all know how TIRING travel can be- even as a passenger in a long car trip i get exhausted... my point being, when do you all suspect he has had the time and energy to write all of these songs you all are demanding? Id love some new stuff too, but the poor fella must get pretty beat. Also- any word on the Ziggy's show in Nov? I went to that lovely show that was cancelled (sigh...) and couldnt get to the Fri reschedule so i am hoping to catch them this time around. I called Ziggys and they seemed pretty surprised that i had caught wind of their impending trip to Winston Salem (aka the armpit of NC). actuallly, the guy was darnright pissed off. He said "how do YOU know?" and then told me they were still working on it. Then when i asked for a possible date he said "WHY?!" "so i can figure out if i'll be in town dumbshit!" anyhow, he would only tell me 1st or 2nd wk of Nov... anyone got anyother news on this particular show? thanks-KristinTop Permalink
WAYLAND!! i just read your post where you wrote something to the effect of "those of yall that have been around since close to the begininng of minarets ..have you noticed how things have changed? just wondering.." wellsomething to that effect .. since ive met you a couple of times im gona assume that you wrote that with a smile on your face ..and that if you wrote it with a frown that youll publiclly pretend otherwise. mayb it was me but it came across as potentially open to being interpreted as a snide statement ... since there are lots of newbies newer thatn me out there i just felt like pointing out that minartes seems to pride itself on being kind an open and welcoming ... yeah yeah ..posts have been out of control in number recently ...but thigs might quiet down or if not we can still strive to keep the same good attitude hope i didnt step onyour toes wayland .. i just felt like making sure noone got confused and thought that was a sideways snotty comment ..cause it be really rare to have stuff like that on minarets thats my dose of motherlyness catherine cheers folks!Top Permalink
There seems to be an awful lot of ripping on people going on this net - why can't we all just get along? Everyone on this net shares something in common - they enjoy the music of the Dave Matthews Band. For everyone who posts a message and gets ripped on, that is one person whose opinion we may not hear again. Let's stop blaming things on the newbies, let's phenomenon that is Dave, pleasantly.Top Permalink
I really don't understand these people. Ants Marching is the song that got me INTO DMB. I told that to Leroi on Friday, and he said, "Yeah, I think Ants is on the Philly setlist..." And sure enough it was. And sure enough it rocked. Also, I'm sad to say, the crowd-riding fools almost ruined it. Enough to get a "whatever" shrug from Dave to the Band.

Well, I'm not a huge contributor to the group and all, but I really don't think that it should go usenet. In my view all usenet really does is decrease the S/N ratio of the group. Also the way the bt one is as an alt group it is not picked up by nearly as many machines. In the usenet ehirarchy a rec group goes to many places and from what I know they are very hard to get fo such things as bands w/o A LOT of support. So basically you are still leaving out a bunch of people and then the group gets diluted. In the current format a "personalized" letter from alex goes out to each new subscriber giving them information and some guidelines. With usenet you really can't do that easily. And just wait for the DMB sucks posts to come through. -- Eric Budke Union College Box 241 Fax (Subj.

Alex-very funny is this "Daze of our lives" or what!! I recently read a post about Boyd being untalented and out of tune... For me and many people I know, one of the many catchy aspects of DMB originally was Boyd and his killer fiddle solos. The Ants solo used to vary and had a great bluegrass/dueling banjos feel. To hear boyd's talent listen to a tape of Blue Water, especially 11-17-92 Trax, 1-30-93 Zollman's W&L University, or 10-27-92 Trax (i think) His infamous wahwah solos show his talent....

Ok Ok enough already. I am SORRY if I asked what the deal was with Tim. I KNOW THAT HE HAS HIS OWN BAND(I have even had at one times 3 studio tapes TR3 did and a couple of live tapes, but did not care for the singing so I scrapped them) PLEASE STOP SENDING ME MAIL FLAMING ME FOR ASKING THIS. AND ANOTHER THING(sorry for writting in caps, but I dont like have messages in caps sent to me ;-) ) I AM NOT A NEWBIE TO THIS NET. I HAVE BEEN ON AND OFF SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OR SO IT WAS STARTED. HAVE YOU? JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO POST CONSTANTLY DOESNT MEAN THEY ARENT THERE(this is directed at one person in general who shall remain nameless) if not bigger than the majority of other performers out there. Becoming upset because of an increase in mail is just not wise. This net has in the last week become just like Phish.net was when I decided to unsubscribe. I dont (and I am sure others dont ) want to waste their time searching through other peoples bickering back and forth. Thanks for your patronage "Cant We ALL Get Along" - Rodney King "LSD Stoned kids walking among colleg campuses, speaking elvish, wearing GO GO Gandalf pins" - a professor who shall go nameless Later, MikeTop Permalink
a schedule from the club, so I don't know anything right now. For any folks whatever that means, so caveat emptor. However, I think i can bring guests, so email me before Fri if you plan to come. If you are nearby and want to see a great band at a really fun club[ they even have really good handicapped access!!! cool! ] come to Winston-Salem, NC on Sat the 8th. Cya!

we DO go to school) while listening to an old personal favorite...Dave at Zollman's Pavillion (W&L) 1/30/94. This is vintage...1 show...26 song setlist...Peter! Need I say more? It was very nice to dust off the oldies (especially cause we were there) and just listen for a while. I have sadly not seen Dave play since opening for Phish in Lexington and I guess the CD party before that, so it was cool and MOST memorable. Well, just thought you all should try it if you don't already. In other words, if you're bitching because they haven't played your favorite song in a while, go dig it out of the archives and play it yourself. And to you newbies, we old fogies will be more than happy to enlighten you on this subject. Anyway, I have to get my butt preparing for the GRE'S (sorry for the Cap's Clare, I had to shout) --I just love standardized tests! Happy trails to those who are actually going to see DMB soon and me, well I'll just be psyched to get to Trax once again on a Tuesday night to see Jackopierce next week! Peace...Katharine Adams P.S. Umm, I couldn't help but notice that "Granny" hasn't come up lately....it'll be nice to see if it's changed any if I ever get to a show before I graduate.Top Permalink
I'm from Hampton, VA. I'm now at U.of Kentucky, where DMB stuff is few and far between. I'm going through major withdraws for my ex-neighbor took off with my DMB bootlegs. Please, somebody, anybody hook me up with info t o get some older tapes. I'd like to get stuff other than whats on R2T and UTTAD. I'll send tapes and/or money. Any info just send to me please, so as to not clog up minarets.net. Thanks!!Top Permalink
of October. played in his acoustic set on Peter's last night - 3/23/93? And, Has it been played again? Rick Thompson sent the show to me a long, long time ago and entitled it...."Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors." Any words on this one (i.e. Rick)? -joeTop Permalink
I was wondering if anybody out there with a large collection of tapes from the Floodzone had a tape a believe from November 1993 where he teased Freebird. Any thoughts from anyone would be great. Thanks.Top Permalink
To all those DMB fans from Pennsylvania who checked out the show at the TLA in philly on saturday night. Check out the Tuesday edition of THe Philadelphia Inquirer. this paper usually only reviews concerts by U2. But they were there and gave DMB apretty good review. Also if you were there and no anything about the opening act FROM GOOD HOMES i'd appreciate any infom. Nolan Nolan@vu-vlsi.ee.vill.eduTop Permalink
Oh BTW, does anyone out there know the name of the first song Dave played in his acoustic set on Peter's last night - 3/23/93? And, Has it been played again? Rick Thompson sent the show to me a long, long time ago and entitled it...."Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors." Any words on this one (i.e. Rick)? yep...that's the name. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong here Ricko...) that some spacey hippie type came up with the name...it might have been Chardy. It was my birthday, so I was pretty out of it too. Jeff or Alex told me the name of the song was So Happy, but I like HHH better. It's been played at least three time 3/23/93, 7/6/93 and ummmm...I'm at a lost for the third one that i have. Here's the setlist as made up by high trippy man, preserved by Rick. DMB 3/23/93 TRAX Charlotesville, VA Set 1 BIG LEAGUE CHEW Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors ...thang! Minarets March of the Rolly Polly Cane Toads Best of What IS So Much 2 Say Typical Dog won suite whirrled Little Texas Tower snoitcelfer eurt Let's Get a Beer The Jumping Song Granny Smurf The Jimi...

i know that this is stupid but i got to college and switched computer systems and can't figure out how to get back on the net. thanks in advance. It's probably cause i've been listening to Jimi Thing too much ....Anyway Peas BennyTop Permalink
catherine... of course there was a smile on my face, i didn't mean to put down newbies or discourage them from the net. we have to remember that the more people on the net, the more the word spreads the bigger dave will get...anyway, i believe that freebird at f-zone in november that you are talking about is when i personally (in state of intoxication) yelled freebird and boyd replied "Hell No!!!!" then dave said "sweet home......i'm a bama" i do not think they played any parts or tried to cover it 'everybody's happy, everybody's free' let's try to keep this in mind! I will as well... WaylandTop Permalink
Hey all.... i caught my first Dave show at the roseland.....While i have a selection of dave tapes.... I have always missed them whent the came around.. But with a spot on the guest list(ie free ticket) who could pass it up? I was not impressed with The Roseland Show.... it wasnt bad... in fact it had its moments, but no mindblowing solos, no rare songs (these setlists are way too repetitive) and too many screaming kids.... i mean I am 20 and i felt OLD at that show.... who knows... maybe my aching knees and deafening ears are to blame.... but anyway.... I have hard some mindblowing jams on tape... but they just werent there live.... ok... the flood is too large... how do i make this list digestified ( i current -ly receive each message individually and that is hell) Josh another boy drawn to DMB by Boyds crazy fiddleTop Permalink
