I know that this is pretty late--There has been a lot of talk about Shannon Worrell recently and I just wanted to tell anyone that's interested in seeing her tonight (Thursday) at 9 pm and lives close to Lexington ...she's at W&L tonight in the university center. I'll be there having a good time and I hope that some of you can make it!!!Top Permalink
john prine (angel from montgomery) is a folk guitarist who has been around a lot longer than i have. he's not terribly well known, but then again, he played the richmond classic amphitheatre in 1993, so he's not terribly ignored, either. i know that saying prine's name without saying his stage soulmates name is something of a sin, but like i said earlier, my mind is more fucked up than any tripping billies, even though i don't trip, so i can't remember right now. it's not nanci griffith, is it? I'm not sure who you mean by soulmate - but Bonnie Raitt had a relatively big hit with Angel. On other notes, John Prine is an excellent songwriter who used to be a mailman in IL. He got singned durning a wave of record companies signing folk singers (after the mainstream success of Dylan). Very similar to the wave of signing bands from Seattle, or Athens. Adios, Jason P.S. anyone know the last time the band played Exodous. I have one tape labeled Feb, of 1994 with it, but wondering if it has been played since then. I would love to see a Jimi thing - Exodous.Top Permalink
hello out there anybody have any more info about the nye show? like the # to call to get tixs? i'm up here in Cortland(by Syracuse) and that's my only way to get tixs. Please help me!! thanks DanielleTop Permalink
dave on mtv? funfunfun. more ants to march to a different beat. i noticed someone mentioned fredd ee jones band. sometime. someplace. they are a nice new band, and SO if anyone out there is interested i have 2 shows (90X2). if you want a copy, drop me a line. i'm not trying to waste band with non-dmb info--just trying to get good music out and around. another thing--does anyone know anything about dave's father? this may seem a little off the wall around the bend (if so, then blame rich ;) but some of the lyrics to r&r seem to allude to a "paternal inprisonment." and then of course there is the "go see your daddy. . ." and one more--i'm a junior and need a major by TOMORROW. any suggestions? psychic help preferred. .. .. . brian. it's good to see a big man dance.Top Permalink
Some more info for those interested. Truth is Shannon pre-dates Dave by a few years in Charlottesville. While she was an undergraduate here she had a band called Paris Match that was just amazing. We used to go see her at Trax and at the Mineshaft (back when C-ville had two band venues, and as a consequence, much better deals on beer) This was back in at least 1989, and it seemed like they'd make it big. It was her and a local guitarist and bass player (who was the handyman at a friends apartment) and I can't remember who the drummer was. Anyone out there remember this? Anyone have any tapes? To hear her sing Me and Bobby Mcgee was like heaven. Those of you who hear her now or have the CD are missing out, she could totally rip songs ala Janis Joplin and we all loved her. I wonder what happened? on your tapes Kyle, it is more likely to be Kristin Asbury, who picked up with alot of bands in town, including the All Stars and Alma Madre. She's a whole other story for another time. She sings back up on Shannon's CD. While I'm on a nostalgic C-ville kick, does anyone have any tapes from the *Boyd Tinsley Band*? Or Down Boy Down (Boyd's old duet)? After all it was Boyd who originally got me to go see this Dave fellow (and probably Boyd that will keep me coming back) Eric Edwardson (no sig/more space)Top Permalink

She also (Shannon Worrell) has a disk out on bama rags too. Her 'Three Wishes' album is on Super Duke Music and was produced by John Alagia. Super Duke says, "Three Wishes plays host to an array of guest performerss, including Tim Reynolds on guitar, Leroi Moore on sax, and Dave Matthews on vocals."Top Permalink
P.S. anyone know the last time the band played Exodous. I have one tape labeled Feb, of 1994 with it, but wondering if it has been played since then. I would love to see a Jimi thing - Exodous. Exodus was played April 27, '94 in Auburn, AL.Top Permalink
at this point, i haven't heard it live, and i'm really hoping to see it next wednesday, but since i haven't seen a serious dave show since feb, the way things are going, somehow I don't think that will be a problem. :) But who knows, maybe Europe and the... huh huh... 'kind bud' in Amsterdam has made them realize what they are truly good at... and playing stock versions of Best and Satellite aint it. it was interesting to see that tim wasn't mentioned at all on the flyers which are now plastered all over the downtown NYC area (esp. in the teens on the east side). Benji OH! The only truly cool thing to come of the 'new' Dave (IMHO of course) is Steffan's funky-as-shit bassline in Boyd's mini-solo near the beginning. Wowzers.

This might be of interest to anyone in this part of the country. DMB is supposed to play at the Wrocklage in Lexington, KY sometime within the next several months. No exact date has been set yet. The Wrocklage is a 21+ bar, but they might make an exception for this show for all of us youngsters out here. This would be their first time in KY, so I'm pretty excited. If I hear anything else about it, I'll let you know.Top Permalink
Alan scott, is this the famous alan that I met in Nantucket. If it is sweet, he hooked alot of people up in Nantucket with his tapes. If you are out there alan say hi, do you remember me, Kyle the kid with long blond hair that was pretty damn nappy. I tried to get the third night from you because mine missed 2 songs. I rememmber you telling me about all the tapes you had. Well, I hope all is well, are you going back to the island?Top Permalink
Eric, no I'm sure that it is Shannon. Near the end of the song Dave say's, "shannon worrel on the stage." and at the very end of the song he says again, "that's shannon worrel." I think that Dave in very notorious for paying hommage to those that help h im, especially those that are in his band. It is nice to see him take little credit even though he is a main focal point of the band. I have discussed this extensively with friends of mine and they have mentioned the same thing. This bootleg in question was the first one I ever required about 2 years ago and I was thrilled that a woman was singing on angel. She not only sings, but it isn't a background vocal, her and dave sing duets without , if small vocals, by Boyd. Who in fact, sings on most of the others versions (boyd that is).Top Permalink
Hi everyone, messages has really been making me feel better about the band. I think that it is great that some of you can get past the fact that the crowds at DMB shows have grown increasingly aggravating. I think is is also terrific that this network is really trying to put out a positive view of the band and spread their music far and wide. changed so much in the past two years, but I am having a really hard time with it. I'm not asking for counseling or anything, I just wanted to say that I think there are a lot of "old" fans who feel the same way I do. who want to fuck Dave's brains out and fraternity brothers pissing into empty beer bottles (someone even spilled their piss on me at Pearl St. in Northampton MA). This is just a band that everyone wants to get close to. And for those of us who remember being the only ones on the floor dancing, the only ones knowing the words, and having DMB play from 9pm to 1:30 am for three bucks - its turned out to be a big transition. fans now - why can't all of us demonstrate a little common courtesy. We all love the band, so why don't we act like it and start to work together. Have a little patience and be a little nice - if you are a six foot tall guy, it won't kill you to let a 5'3" girl stand in front of you if she promises not to bounce around too much. in trading for some newer stuff - especially jazzy jams. Thanks alot.Top Permalink

Well, there was plenty of interest in a Irving Plaza meeting. I guess it is now in the hands of Ian from Wesleyan :) who is on the net, and who I ran into last night at the UMass Phish show and is giving me a ride to NYC. If anyone wants to hang out for a while after the show, there's plenty of places to go in the city of course- anyone know exactly where Irving Plaza is? Otherwise, we could just meet at the soundboard or something after shannon's set. Anyone with any ideas?Top Permalink
before i could read it! write back if it was important or even if it wasn't. thanks. PEACE.Top Permalink
I was blown away. You mean you actually got to talk to Dave Matthews? Wow. And you were that close up at the show? And he passed you and your lady friend his water bottle in response to a request? Those things are amazing in and of themselves . . . But it gets better. Ants Marching, the most awesome song in the world, revered by all and despised by none, the song that could only put you, Stew, over the age, was played at your mental willing. You must really have some pull man. Cool. Awesome. WOW. clue. It sounds like some sort of conglomeration.Top Permalink

just felt like saying that its utterly amusing how conversations go in cirlcles we had all this conversation about "Say Goodbye" months ago ..wish all you newer folks could have been here for it. and 2 add my musings to all the coments about bands and drugs and such... well i thinks its pretty groovy that we know the Dave and company use lots of stuff but that we dont complain about it hindering the musicality of the art ..its pretty grrovy that we accept fans smokin up or more at the shows .. but what's extra groovy is that even thoughthe band and lots of the fans use all these fun (well most of em) illicit subsbtances, it hasnt yet gottn to the point where people come to the shows for the DURG SCENE and not the laughing dancing and singing .. this happens at oh shall we say dead shows (which i addmttedly love) ..but we're still all gathering mostly for the music ..and that exaclty how i like it .. a ot of different people comin together for the fun of music. so i dont mind who does what when and where ..for now that is ofcourse opinions are subject to reeavaluation and BUFORD!! how can i get christmas lights hooked up to my stereo ..that sounds like crazy fun and CHARDY ..all this ramblingabout sailing is makin me oh soo jealous i am stuck here in the gorgeous valley ..but there aint no sailable salt water ... so could you do me a favor ..and sortof remeber to smell the salt water air for me .. that stuff is runnin through my veins and its got to be replensihed soon! thanks yall ... and well smile at a stranger ..itllmake em feel special catherineTop Permalink

phish/dmb at lexington sold out moments after dave took the stage, so i really don't think there's much to worry about there. that doesn't mean, however, that there's not going to be a shitload of people there. my estimate is around 5000 (horse center holds 6000). ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
an interesting thing happened to me last night, which led to a dmb revelation. i think it's a revelation i've had before, because i keep getting this sense of deja vu. so if i've made this point before, forgive me. but then again, there's a bunches of new people that have arrived since school started. anyway... last night, after a 15 hour day of classes, work and more work, i got home and picked up my guitar. i played a coupla tunes to myself and then realized that, despite the fact that no one was there to share the groove with me, i was playing really well. so i broke into a song of mine that clare is particularly fond of that i wrote in the spring of 1993 when i was suffering from a mild identity crisis. i remember back then, near the end of my freshman year, when the song came together, and i used to sit in my room by myself playing this one song over and over again, because 1)i liked it 2)it was one of the only two original songs i had at that point, and i liked it better than the other one. so i would sit there, for 25 minutes or more, doing all sorts of weird things with this tune. and this was long before i could actually play a guitar in any sort of respectable fashion, so it's probably a good thing that no one else was there. but by the end of the summer and going into my sophomore year, it didn't carry as much umph. i had written several other songs over the summer, and this song just didn't carry as much for me. i could never bring myself to stop playing it completely, but it does have a really deep lyrical meaning for me, because it's about someone pretty special to me. at any rate, the song wasn't the same. it was pretty dry, lifeless, and, well, pretty much the half-hearted song (which had become it's title over the summer, in a fashion similar to 'say goodbye' being titled over the course of several months). but last night, i found this tangent like one i've never found before. it sounded great, and i even segued it into 'hole-hearted,' something i've always wondered if i could do. it was so weird. and the song took on a whole new dimension, a dimension i hope to share with clare soon :). now, this is pretty pointless to everyone but those of you who know me (which amounts to 15-20...maybe 5 of which have heard the song), but i think you can see a point. dave wrote what would you say many moons ago, and as far as his part in the song goes, it's the same thing every time. it would seem to me that he would get tired of it after while and look for something to make it more interesting, even if that something means making the song shorter. the revelation i had (and i _know_ i've had it before) is that think of what it will be like for you if you happen to be at one of those shows where he pulls a 9 minute wwus out of his ass? and how about when he comes out for his encore, and starts playing this really weird, erie sounding chord repition over and over again and then screams his lungs out about love instead of hate, and then in an instant the playing collapses into tripping billies? it will happen. dave is to strange a character to keep it from happening. i think this is for all the people getting bummed about the way dave is getting stagnant. new songs. has it occured to anyone that dave is the only person writing songs for this band, except for true reflections and people, people? phish sure as hell can't say that. trey doesn't write all the lyrics, and trey sure as hell doesn't write all the music. rem can't say that, about music or lyrics. contrary to popular belief, rem as we know it wouldn't exist. those of you who have seen dave and tim play together know that dave matthews would exist without the band, albeit a little different. but in dave band, dave does everything but create the finished arrangement, which he leaves for the whole band to work out. personally, i think that 34 songs in 3 years, plus some anomalies here and there, is an absolutely amazing accomplishment (i'm pulling 34 from the number of songs now sitting in the lyrics file). i've been playing for 5 years, and i've come up with maybe 10, if i count the songs that i hate. i'm only particulary confident about 4 or 5 of them. well, that's my $1.59 for today (maybe someone else could add the sales tax?). it was precipitated by anything. i just felt like sharing. if you made it this far through the post, thanx for listening. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

michael hedges was the person i was referring to when i said that dave wasn't the first person to do the song the way he does it. a freind of my really heavy into the acoustic music type thing told me about hedges. can anyone else confirm this? I saw michael a couple of weeks ago in Boulder, and sure enough during an encore he was taking requests. A number of people were screaming it. I actually was really interested to hear his version, but wasn't very impressed. I don't think dave borrowed anything from hedges - other than playing it on an acoustic guitar. Actually Michael's version reminded me more of Dylan's original than either DMB's version or Jimi's. BTW - did you know - as the legend goes, hendrix recorded the song the first night he ever heard it. I guess he was at some party (in London I think) and someone whipped out the new Dylan album with Watchtower on it. Well, a couple of hours later, probably sometime in the wee hours of the morning, the J.H. Experience was in the studio laying down the song. Some quote I read from Dylan said, "I don't know why he didn't cover more of my songs, they were all written for him." (don't know exactly what that is supposed to mean, but...)

Being a guitar player also, I thought I would elaborate on Rick's thoughts, but in a shorter post... Daves' guitar parts in most songs are usually repetetive and fairly easy to play after a while, not to say they are not incredible, but they don't leave much room for jamming on his part. The only guitar solo I have ever heard Dave even attempt to play is at the end of Jimi things (ex Browns Island) where he starts to fuck around abit. Jams I have heard from the band are mostly boyd, leroi, stephan, and peter, and IHMO I think Peter made it easier for the band to jam out seeing as that the keyboard is good filling to take up empty space. anyways, I'm just kinda rambling, as usual P.S. Shannon Worrell played a kick ass show here last nite that was around 2 hrs and included a stellar cover of Back You UP. I'm working on tapes....

I rememeber coming away withthe feeling that they returned (or maybe jsut the dad) returned to africa after a period of years .. and then if it was the whole family and not jsut daddy .. well some of them OBVIOUSLY came back not much of a help but its something ..andplease please corect me cause this is all memeory which we know ive played with a little too much also ..check out how many of daves lyris have "Mommy" references ..like Jimithing "..till i get to the end of this tunnel MOMMMMMYY" weel keep floating catherineTop Permalink

which he leaves for the whole band to work out. personally, i think that 34 songs in 3 years, plus some anomalies here and there, is an absolutely amazing accomplishment (i'm pulling 34 from the number of songs now sitting Rick, I think you're forgetting that before DMB, he DID have 25 years of life to come up with some of this stuff. A songwriter as good as Dave probably wrote his first song a few days after he started playing guitar. Now, I don't know how long Dave has been playing, but it must have been for some time now. in the lyrics file). i've been playing for 5 years, and i've come up with maybe 10, if i count the songs that i hate. i'm only particulary confident about 4 or 5 of them. Hey, I've been playing for 5 years too. I've probably written 30 or 40 songs in that time, some by myself, many with an old friend of mine that I used to be particularly close to. I write constantly, I'm sure you do too. The acoustic guitar is good at that. It makes you write because just about anything sounds good. But of those songs I wrote in the first two or three years of my playing, none are worth a piece of shit. It was me learning how t write. And Dave probably went through that, and by now basically all of his songs kick ass. Shit, I've got off track. Anyway, to paraphrase Seal (ugh) about why his second album took him two years to make, he said something like "I had a lifetime to create the first album, and for the second they gave me six months. It's quite a shock." So I would say give Dave a break, just like you are Rick, but I'd also try to nudge him off his ass and turn his eyes from dollar signs to chords...

I spotted this is the Weekend section of the post, and I thought it had some really interesting parts about Dave's lyrics and why there isn't a lot of new stuff coming out of camp dave. take care, brett radio station in Detroit and is now wheeling toward Ann Arbor for a gig later in the evening. "I think it's sold out," he says over the phone matter-of- factly, as if he's getting used to such things. Of course by now he should be. Since tossing in his towel as a bartender in Charlottesville four years ago, the twenty-seven year old South African native has seen the quintet that bears his name move from hometown favorites to a national draw, and from an independently produced recording to a major label debut. On Tuesday night the band will perform at Lisner Auditorium. own label, Bama Rags. Within eight months the alblum, distributed to stores from the bands offices, sold 60,000 copies, enough to rank it high on the alternative rock charts and to pique the interest of several major labels. Shortly after RCA signed the band, producer Steve Lillywhite, best known for his work with U2 and the Rolling Stones, came calling. for its rootsy eclecticism - distinguished partly by a free-flowing blend of rock, funk, jazz, country, classical, and world-beat elements, and partly by Matthews's open-ended lyrics, guiding guitar grooves, deep voice, and clipped phrasing. The same kind of word-of-mouth publicity that turned Phish and Blues Traveler into immensely popular touring acts was now pushing the DMB into bigger venues around the country. band's sound would change substantially in the studio, which is one of the reasons he was picked to produce the band's recent RCA debut, "Under the Table and Dreaming." But in a lot of ways he chose us," Matthews recalls. "He never really sold himself or was arrogant, but when he came in, it was certainly like, 'I'm the one who should do this album.' That was his rap. And he said, 'I don't want to change you. I don't think you need to be changed. I just want what you do to become clearer and clearer on an album.' His air of confidence was charming and undeniable." home base in Charlottesville before shepherding Matthews, reed man Leroi Moore, violinist Boyd Tinsley, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer Carter Beauford into the studio. "And when we finally got to work with him, he was awesome," Matthews adds. "He was really trying to complement and change us. The most frequently heard thing was, 'Let's try it again.'" flow, as the other members elaborated on the rhythmic designs he sketched out on guitar or spun improvisations around his often curious lyrics. notes. "And that's cool. Some people even come up with a meaning when I had nothing [in mind] - I just liked the words or something. And that's cool, too. Whatever it means to anyone is just as valid as what a song means to me. Sometimes when people ask me about a song, I'll tell them about someone else's interpretation because I like it more than mine." on the road offers little stimulation - work, travel, interviews, and occasionally "filling the Jack Daniels gauge" is pretty much it, he says with a laugh. "It's certainly not conducive to deep thought. Whatever ideas I might have about peace, love, or war are going to have to wait. Since we're traveling so much together, I think the songwriting in the future is going to be more of a group thing. Right now there are a lot of new grooves coming out of the sound checks, but the words aren't there yet." Matthews hopes to play South Africa soon.

Just for those people who might be interested in not having to answer trivia to get a DMB show-I have a copy of the 9/27/94 UVA show. The show was broadcast the same night of the show on the local radio station-so I have a master copy with radio quality sound. I would love to trade if anyone is interested.

I don't know when I will be getting down to Irving Plaza, so I can't make/organize a pre- show meeting. If anyone else wants to take the ball and run with it, go crazy. I would, however, love to meet anyone interested at the show, and perhaps grab a beer or two afterwords- Dave/Tim shows aren't usually much more than 1:45 long. I'll be behind the soundboard right after Shannon's set. I'm the guy with the white, very dirty W&L hat and sort- of goatee. I'm about 6'3", 200 lbs. I'll try to make a few copies of my tape list before then for any interested traders- bring your list as well. Oh yeah- the guy that's coming with me is very similar in description, other than the hat I may be wearing. He's the good looking one. I'm not :) We'll almost certainly be at the Peculiar Pub after the show- Village, corner of Bleecker and LaGuardia, not far from Irving Plaza. $5 cab ride at most. So if you miss us you can look for us there. If you'd specifically like to meet up to trade lists and such write me directly and I'll look for you.Top Permalink

I think Adam had a great idea to meet at the Dave's show on Monday, but I haven't heard anything else about it. Then again, I was gone for a few days. Let's just set a time and place, shall we? Not that I'm prepared to do it...well pre-show might be nice. I'm thinking round the soundboard after Shannon with a possibility of post-show antics. Any takers?

Hi all, I know there's been some discussion about this, but I was just wondering if anybody knows of any WWW home pages for DMB in the works. I think one of those would be a great place to put the FAQ and lyrics files, plus all the pics and stuff that we can ftp to, not to mention tour news. I was just curious if anybody is now or will soon be working on this.

Hey Everyone, Batimore (Balmer) on 7/27/94. I'll send a tape(s) and $ if someone is willing to share it with me! I would be forever grateful! :) Eve? What all is going on? Why do tickets cost $52.50 as was posted earlier? Does the price include some form of all night New Year's Party? Any info would be great, as I am going no matter what! One last thing, I saw Everything the other night at Venus de Milo up here in Boston and had a great time. Although they didn't play all that long I was happy to hear my favorites "Soulfish" and "I Don't Care." To anyone going to see the DMB/Everything shows out west, have an amazing time! I wish I could be there! (For anyone in the mid-Atlantic region, I think Everything will be at Hammerjacks in Baltimore sometime over winter break. Does anyone know when??) *********FIRST POST!!**************FIRST POST!!***********FIRST POST!!****** I've been a member of this net for a couple days and I'm glad to meet you all. :) Hope to see you at a show soon (bringing in another year of Dave in Richmond)! recently, RobTop Permalink

I don't know if all the people who were asking about GW tickets found some or not - but a friend of mine has two extra tickets for that show (Nov 8th at Lisner) and he will sell them for $16.50 (Which does not include the $3.50 service charge he paid!) If anybody is (still) interested, please contact me personally by email or phone because I receive the digest version of the list. Oh yeah - the seats are in row EE, but there really aren't any bad (read painfully obscured) seats in Lisner Aud. How's your spoon collection going, clare?

I continue to get messages about an Irving Plaza meeting, so here's the deal- I don't know when I will be getting into the city, so I can't organize anything pre- show. I'd be happy to meet any and all interested parties during the show, probably after the opening act, behind the soundboard. I will have a copy of my tapelist there, and any traders are welcome to peruse it. I'm the big guy with the W&L hat and black backpack. I tend to be much more accomodating to traders who buy me a beer :) As for after the show- I'm sort of a random kind of guy, so anyone I meet at the show who'd like to grab a beer afterwords or anything, I may be up for it. A group of netters getting together for a drink or two post- show might be a nice way to meet some faces behind the posts. The next day is election day, so many of us may not even have classes/work the next day. I'm not so fortunate, but I'm a senior and don't really go to class anyway. Just make sure you get back home in time to vote!! Hidden Newbie offer- If you find me at the show and give me two blanks plus $1.67 for postage, I'll tape a show for you. Your choice, but only for those with less than five DMB tapes. Oh- my girlfriend says thanks to all those who responded to the request for info for the Insider's Guide to Colleges.Top Permalink

I may also include some of the other shows I've taped in this tree, and would appreciate anyone else doing the same, if there is a demand.

Hey everyone... Are any of you taping the Lisner Aud. show tomorrow night? My little brother really wanted to go, but couldn't get tickets because by the time our mom told him he could go, the show was sold out. So I'm looking to find him tapes instead as a Hanukah present or something. If you tape the show or have a lead on getting low-gen tapes, PLEASE e-mail me. I have only a few Dave tapes, but have 200 hours of Dead, 50 hours of Phish (including Halloween and Syracuse, set II) to trade. Thanks a lot. Take it easy...

Hi everyone- Carter after the show what ever happened to "lover Lay Down" because that was one of my favorite songs - it is soo sexy! - and they hadn't played it, at least when I had seen them, since greisler left the band. Carter told me that was greisler's song and he took it with him when he left the band. So maybe Dave didn't write all of the songs? I'd believe it! But in the cover of "Under the Table and Dreaming" it says that Dave wrote it. All I know is that Carter told me that stuff and then the next year they were playing it again. together but I'll write it when I have a little more time tomorrow. To everyone who responded to my first post, thanks! I'll get in touch ASAP. I'm having a really hectic senior year. Thanks, KristinTop Permalink

I have that part. InRoads article on my wall at this very moment. There's really not much to it. Family background, new album coming out, old album good, etc.etc. it really doesn't give much info on the family other than what was already said. Although i got the impression that the family stayed in C-ville. The reason I remember this is because I have a dateless Wetlands show in which Dave intros "Jane..." by saying that it's her birthday and that she's STILL over in Africa. But on my tapes (bagbies?) from this year, he says she's in C-ville. Also if I remember correctly, his entire family was at the Strawberry Banks show, or at least that's what I remember Dave saying. If anybody has any clue, or even cared enough to read this drivel then let me in on the news. "I haven't done nothin' since I woke up today" Angel...

Greetings from Auburn Alabama, it seems interest is pretty high on this net about other grooovy bands especially those from the AWARE cds. Four bands from the cd are playing The Grapes, Vertical Horizon, and Acoustic Junction. Three other local bands are going to fill the gaps between sets. It seems like it is going to be a really cool show -7 hours of great music, outdoors in Auburn's magnificent weather. I have three other friends here in Auburn who are on the net and have offered, including me, a place to stay for anyone who takes the trip here to go to the show. tickets are only $8 in advance.

I want to start out ny thanking everyone who wrote to me and offered to make copies of the shows I wanted. I'm glad to say that in one day I found copies of these shows that i've spent months trying to find (I've been looking for that JGB for almost a year). Now, usually i do all of my trading in person, so this whole mailing of tapes thing kind of intimidates me. As with any other sane American, I am just a little intimidated by the US postal service. How much is postage for a)one tape and b)two tapes. Where do I get the proper envelope and does the post office sell bubble wrap? Anybody's help would be much appreciated. I had a chance to glance at the InRoads article again and it seems that Dave's brother and sister still live in C-ville, I'm assuming that means that the rest of his family is back in Africa. One more quick question (sorry) i have a Wetlands show that begins w/Dave singing Typical solo, the opening band is Thanks to Gravity, and Dave intros "jane.." by saying that it's her b-day. What I need is the date for this show. Thanks! "You'd better stop smoking that stuff, it'll do that to you. I should know, I read about it once."

Some answers to questions about the Horse Center show..... 1)Directions from 81 N. Go south till you get to the 64 west exit (signs say lexington). There will be horse center signs on highway too. Get on 64w and take first exit. Turn right at stop sign and the take first left onto route 39, that will go past the horse center. 2)from 81 S. Same thing. It's the middle Lexington exit (out of 3) 3)Gatherings. No ones scheduled anything, and my idea is the soundboard before and during the show. I got stuff to do till about 6 so I cant do any pre show. Post show Who knows? The Grapes are playing a late show at Crossroads though, if anyone's up for another hour drive.. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Chris "Boofy" Buford '96 | |cbuford@liberty.wlu.edu P.O.Box 322 | |Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va. 24450 | | | | "You know what they call a 1/4 pounder in france?" | | "No..." | | "A Royale with Cheese...." | | | | Ezekiel 25:17 | | | |v4.0 | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*Top Permalink

for those of you with clean crisp copies of the nantucket run from august, how many have noticed that dave introduces help myself as none other than dangerous hours. that song must have such a complex. it probably also feels pretty ignored at this point. on lexington... i think it's pretty much a standard thing for concerts to start one hour after doors open, so look for rusted root to take the stage around 7:30, play for probably about 45 minutes, and then we'll see dave take the stage b/w 8:30 and nine. i doubt dave will push much past 11:30. for those who haven't heard rusted root yet, you'll be pretty amazed. they have a huge instrumentation, with something like 8 or 9 musicians, including bongos and female backup vocals. i've had a copy of their debut "when i woke" since about a week before it was initially released. i picked it up out of my radio stations review bin when it was mailed to us based on the review printed on the back cover. i can't really remember the reviews exact words, but i can say myself that it's a cross between peter gabriel, david byrne, and dave matthews, with all sorts of really cool world beat rhythms thrown in. the primary songwriter for the band is extremely diverse, with everything from a afrikan tribal rhythm (including a complete song based on it), to typical bluegrass, to typical mainstream, and even a track of ethnic indian music. it's pretty crazy, and it's pretty damn good. most of the tracks are of mainstream length, around the 4 minute mark, though one song really jams out pretty hard, called cruel song. it seems to be a staple of theirs, from what i've heard. i've never heard any of their live material, and i'm looking forward to wednesday night to hear some... oh well, enough rambling.... i have sockiology homework to do... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
hello, im uncle sig (you may know me from the phish net) does anyone know the setlist for this show? thanks.. p.s. setlist of rusted root for that night would be appreciated too. be safe.Top Permalink
well informed JMU, W&L, or UVA people please post or email me some specifics on lexington. In other words...directions from 64, what's the word on tailgating before the show, what time is RR expected to start, is there a curfew time - I think the horse center is a closed building so probably not. Anyway, sorry I'm clueless about lexington- really psyched for the show though, because the 9th, in addition to being the anniversary of the R2T album, is my birthday and if anyone happens to be listening, all I ask for is a kickin' version of granny to remember through the ages- and I'll remember it...maybe I've had an unlucky streak, because I keep seeing it on set lists, but I haven't seen granny in six shows. That's a six satellite to zero granny ratio. I don't want to think about it. Oh, not to waste all your time, but that Entertainment weekly review is bordering on offensive. Why is "biracial" an issue? Why are "Latin" riffs an issue? Latin riffs? Was the cd skipping on Lover LD over and over? Am I missing the latin riffs in Jimi Thing and the rest of the album? I don't want to think about it. Sorry so long Greg Parisi parisigre@urvax.urich.eduTop Permalink
