Does anyone have good directions to the Horse Center in Lexington? I am coming from Charlottesville, and I know 64 to 81, but after that I am lost. HELP! Also T.J. Palvino, if you are out there, please write. I don't need the UVA tape, I have made other arrangements. I felt bad asking you to do so many tapes. I am hoping to get in touch with you before the show at the Horse Center. Thanks!! TonyaTop Permalink
I got a kinda cool tape of a solo et al. dave show this summer...It's a second generation tape and the sound quality is great!... Now here's the catch...I'd like to have some recodings of some obscure dave songs. In particular, - Angel from montgomery (prine) - Drive In, Drive Out - Help Myself - Maker, the (Lanois) - #36 - So much to say - And any others that you think I might like I'll trade a limited number of people my solo et al. tape for these songs but I'd really like to have some rarities. The set list for my tape is ------------ random dave show (maybe november or december 92?) ------------ Quick Lay (Say Goodbye) Ants Marching Sattelite What Would You Say Jimmy Thing ------------ Solo ------------ Best of What's Around Recently Cry Freedom Tripping Billies Song That Jane Likes I'll Back You Up What Would You Say Sattelite (After Her) Lover Lay Down One Sweet World Typical Situaion ------------ oddities ------------ What Would You Say (reprise) Ants Marching (crazy violins) Dancing with Nancies (2nd time played live) If you want to trade I'll copy this on a 90 min TDK SA90 tape and if you would do the same, we can trade addresses. Write and tell me what you think. ps - if anyone might be interested in hearing my band's demo when it's done so as to give me some feedback I'd greatly appreciate it.

******************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************* ------------ random dave show (maybe november or december 92?) ------------ Quick Lay (Say Goodbye) Ants Marching Sattelite What Would You Say Jimmy Thing ------------ sean.. .if this is the set for the 'random dave show nov/dec 92' then you've got the guess of the date wrong. (sorry i can't say tha in a kinder way)... (QL&) say goodbye wan't arount until late 93 (at least under the name to which we refer to it at that time). but the beginnings (evolutionary beginnings) of that song began in the summer of 93. june-ish.... regardless... either way.. its' not a 92 tape. hugs to all.. love and brilliant light, clare emily 'no one dared no one cared to tell me where the pretty girls are, those demi-gods with their NINE-INCH-NAILS little facist panties tucked inside the heart of every girl....'Top Permalink
Okay, Okay, the tape isn't from '92...it's funny how 2s and 3s get confused when you've just finished an engineering problem set...sorry, the tape is from november/december '93! i apologize for the typo...Top Permalink
Hey everyone, 11-7-94 Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at Irving Plaza, NYC First of all, I have to say that I was really bothered by the crowd at this show. They were LOUD! Dave came out to sing harmony on one of Shannon's songs, and the woman next to me screamed every time he opened his mouth. People yelled between every song and over the top of Tim's their fellow audience members, they should at least respect the performers. But enough whining... Aside from the irritating crowd, the show was incredible. The first set was fairly predictable, good strong renditions of the songs, but nothing really overwhelming. But the second set....Minarets was hot, with Dave doing some freaky vocal effects and Tim spinning out strange Arabic-sounding lines. Jimi Thing was long and sweet, Tim played a very bluesy solo that seemed very out of character for him, but cool. The big that was the one song they definitely wouldn't play, because it just didn't fit the solo format. Just goes to show you. It was interesting to hear it done this way, without the sax/violin riff that defines the song for me. I kept expecting Tim to play the violin part, but he just noodled around, although he added a very intense solo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first time Dave's done Ants in a solo show, yes? Say Goodbye was beautiful, as always. Two Step I didn't even recognize; this was kind of a weak performance. The crowd began shouting out requests here; someone shouted for #36, so Dave agreed to play the "edited" version. This was very impressive, with Tim playing funky basslines and Dave doing some sweet scat singing and vocal weirdness. So Much to Say, I thought they weren't playing this anymore? I was glad to hear it, anyway. And finally, Watchtower. I think the slow beginning confused many people in the crowd, but they got into it. I love how that intro just builds anticipation until the fast part kicks in....Tim played a long, quietly intense solo on this, a strange contrasts to the electric shows I've heard, where's he's just over the top. Towards the end, Dave began quoting Stairway to Heaven; hey, it's the same chord progression. Unfortunately, no soundboard patch was available, so it looks like the only tapes that'll be around will be from the one and only audience taper who bravely set up his mikes right in the middle of the frat boys. It's a shame, considering what a great show it was, and how damned irritating the crowd was. Still, I would love to get this on tape, so...anyone who comes across a tape of this, I'd like it, regardless of sound quality. I have over a hundred hours of Phish/Dead/Dave/others to trade for it. Anyone? Gotta go to class. Buh-bye...AdamTop Permalink
In response to shaft's request, cool. I believe it is from May 1993, but have no evidence of that. "Is everybody doing okay? Is Everyone okay? We've been trying for ages to get the air fixed, but we don't use it here. CAUSE IT'S JUST NOT GOOD." My thought it is around the summer. worthless. I lost it however. There was a pretty cool article in the C'ville in the beginning of October. It was like three pages, with lots of cool pictures and stuff. I can't find that one either, but I thought everyone would like to know. "This song is called Tripping Hillbillies, It's about Virginia"Top Permalink
Any of you folks looking for a place to stay after the show get in touch with me, I may be able to help you out. I live about five minutes away from the Horse Center and have some room (if you don't mind hard wood floors). It probably beats paying for a hotel room or driving back somewhere all messed up. There's going to be a lot of stuff going on at W&L after the show so sticking around would probably be a lot of fun for you out-of-townies. I don't have that much space so first come first serve. Just let me know in some way shape or form that you're not a serial killer or anything of that sort. BrittTop Permalink
A few notes on other Adam's setlist- 1. Not the first Bandless Ants Marching. Sorry. 2. They hadn't played So Much to Say in quite a while. A nice treat. 3. Dave did the same Stairway thing this summer in Watchtower, but he forgot the words. 4. Personally, I didn't think the crowd was that bad. A little loud and obnoxious, but they cheered almost as loudly for Say Goodbye as for Ants, and several seemed to know what was up when Dave pulled out So Much to Say. Much older and a little more restrained than DMB crowds of late. 5. More than one taper. tapers tend to share patches into mikes. Wandering closer to the "sweet spot" where the tapers set up (always a great place to hear a show), I noticed several DATs and accompanying tapers. Tapes should be circulating. Great venue. Too bad beer in NYC is $4 a can.Top Permalink

Just to let you know, I have a tape from 1/19/93 where dave opens with some solo stuff, including Ants.. if I remember, though, he does intro it with something to the effect of "well, I wouldn't normally do this.. but I will.. because I want to.. maniacal cackling" brett ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brett Kingswell bmking@mail.wm.edu If only God would give me some clear sign!

hey all. ok, here's my first plea. i saw dave open up for toad the wet sprocket at w&m about two years ago. i fell in love instantly, but being a naive little high school student i did not understand the bootleg scene. i got a tape of a tape of a bootleg and that was all my dave until r2t. so, now that i'm finally getting some real bootlegs (ok, so my boyfriend is doing all the work) i would love to trade for that w&m show. if anyone has the show i would love to hear from you. also, jeff (my busy man collecting bootlegs) offered the vail colorado show to traders. so, i'll tape it for any newbies. i'm not sure how big a response i'll get, but i'll try to take as many requests as i can. i'm sorry i forgot who said something about meeting before the va horse center show, but i would love to meet some of the faces of the names i've been reading for the past year. any suggestions of meeting places or times? i go to jmu, so i'm not too far from lexington, but i don't know the lexington area. :) jaime JAROUNDS@VAX1.ACS.JMU.EDUTop Permalink
did any of his own songs. This past august at the Birchmere Tim did a couple, including 'mountain song'(correct title?) I am also interested in hearing about Shannon's set. Was 'Eleanor' as smooth as usual? Was Matt Tifford there on cello?Top Permalink
Some more thoughts.. 1)Rick has previously stated that Rusted Root's debut is When I Woke, but alas, a previous disc exists, much in the idea of R2T (not live, but self produce with repeat songs on new disc). Its got 11 songs, four of which are also on When I Woke (but remixed) and is a solid effort also. I'm ready for the drum trip..... 2)More on horse Center. For Phish, the parking lot was way cool, tailgating etc. Its on a grass hill. I didn't see the usual veggie cookouts set up and such, but the county police deal with the horse center and were quite cool. At WSP I was late and everyone was inside. IMHO I would think beer type tailgating was fine, with other things slightly more discreet and maybe in a car,van, VW bus, etc. I would hesistate on bringing your gas stove, veggies and bead/necklace salesbooths, just cuz I didn't see and last time. Nitrous, its your call on that, I'm not gonna tell anyone to bring it and then get them busted. As always, use your noodle and think a bit before you do what you do. Directions are simple. There are signs on 81 that will tell you to take the 64 W exit and there are signs on the exit to tell you how to get there. It really ain't to hard. 3)Clare, being the first and foremost knight of all, I think I need to review applications also...... *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |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
Overall, an incredible show. Highlights were I'll Back You Up, two step, #36, christmas song, so much to say(my favorite dave tune), and an INCREDIBLE solo by Tim (called Streams?). behind me decided to begin singing ALL the songs ( including Back You Up) in dave-possessed voice. There was also some very large fellow who bullied his way up to the front and was muttering "granny" after every couple lines of Back You Up. as the performers. It really wasn't cool that I could hear people other than Dave singing a lot of the songs. Dave. I watched as the smoke crept through the blue light until it had surrounded him. His nostrils enlarged, his eyes cracked open (an emotional part of the song) and he smiled.Top Permalink
I went to WSP at the Horsey Centre, and showed up boku early... There were quite a few people fumbling around with big honkin balloons...as well as one and two hitters...the cops said nothing. There was a LOT of beer tailgating... Have fun, tell me all about it (i wish i could go), and above all, DON'T GET CAUGHT DOING ANYTHING STOOPID... Peace, WadeTop Permalink

Usually you do end up getting the tickets in the mail at the last minute but my tickets for the Irving Plaza show never made it. I called American Express and they gave me that confirmation number that usually gets written on some random piece of scrap paper that gets thrown away sometime later (as in my case) Then give ticket master a call, they'll connect you with customer service. Explain you haven't received the tickets in the mail. They gave me a lost ticket voucher confirmation number and said to give this number to the box office along with ID and the credit card that you bought the tickets with. Hope this works out. surprised that alot of the songs sounded better in the acoustic format. Still some were screaming for Boyd's touch. The first set opened with Recently and pretty much included all songs from the albums. There's no way I can produce Whats Around, Satelite, Tripping Billies, Dancing Ninies, and closed with Warehouse. The second set was much more spacey including Minarets, Typical Situation, Christmas Song, I'll Back You Up, Say Goodbye, Ants, a great jam by Tim Reynolds, a few songs I don't know because I have no live tapes (hint) and Watchtower to close. Show got out around 12:30 but I'm unsure of when it started because Shannon Worrell opened up first.Top Permalink

damn, i checked my mail yesterday--and i'd received twelve, count them, TWELVE packages of tapes, either trade stuff or blanks. i can't handle this! what was i thinking to have allowed things to get to this level? anyway, this can't continue. so, everyone, if i'm making tapes for you, please be patient. i'll get them to you, but a little later. if i told you two days, make it a week. i've been told by a wise man that i need to slow down, and i do believe he's right.Top Permalink

It came from a guy who did sound at Liberty Hall, but he didn't send the date. Just after R2T, like late Dec. early Jan '94? I don't have an old newsletter with any info. Any help would be appreciated. I'd give a portion of the set list but I don't think its really in circulation, so you might not find it in your collections.

yikes. me and cathy just wanna say, 'shhhhhhhhhh...' or all our good seats (stands.. whatever it is when we dance and jam and spin and live like children in our usual dmb sbd spot) will be trampled like buffaloo pastures. well, think about how termendously large the sbd area is at the horse center. there's enough room for a herd of small packiderm to dance back there. at least there was at phish, which sold out. hey.. do buffaloo's have pastures? on ecology.....this is a music net... i owe you a hug. *hug* *rmph* (oy. bear hug.;) racing turtles (turtles turtles and more turtles) doya think heathcliff will win? i while back i had this weird ideer pop into my head, and i keep forgetting to share... while listening to the studio warehouse, i somehow got this overwhelming urge to hear (now get this...) bagpipes. in certain places, they've managed to make boyd sound so ethereal that you just want to see a man in a kilt come trapesing (sp?) along. it sounds stupid, i know, but it's true. i want to hear a piper jam with dave band.

this is about the acoustic show. not meatloaf. as for ants marching at acoustic shows, dave and tim played it on 12-12-93. and tim really kicks out the ass on that solo near the end where boyd is usually playing the same note over and over and over and over again. as far as so much to say goes, you say "i thought _they_ didn't play it anymore," which is more or less right. i haven't heard of the whole band doing it this year. but dave and tim did that one at the aforementioned movie palace show. at that show (in c-ville), tim ripped it apart with some beautiful slide guitar playing that blows me away every time i hear it. (and over and over and over again.) ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
you know that really spacey period as you fall asleep where you aren't asleep and aren't awake and aren't really anything but one giant thought? you know, that period when you mind comes up with _REALLY_ fucked up things? no? well, i do, and last night, as i drifted through this lost time while listening to uttad, and as rhyme and reason floated gently through my hell turning inside out. right as dave started screaming. it was just too cool. and then i saw dave standing in the center of this involuted hades grinning, and then he turned inside out, and then the song started fading away, and i fell asleep. also, just how did an acoustic #36 sound? that must have rocked your world. and when i did dave play the tripping billies intro? i haven't heard of that happening in decades... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

Does anyone have an actual show length? I'm inclined to say that it was a good 2 and a half hours, but I certainly wasn't checking my watch every five minutes (well, I was during Shannen Worrell. Sorry, I just couldn't get into it except for the song about Athena or something. Huh huh. I feel like I'm commiting treason). By the way... after #36 we tried to get Dave to play Drive In Drive Out (we tried wade, we really really TRIED), but apparently someone else asked for So Much To Say. Oh, and SMTS wasn't really full. At least as far as I remember he never actually played the chorus, and repeated the verses and bridge several times until it seemed monotonous. But it's still a great tune, and I was extremely pleased to hear it. Tim's tune was fucking incredible. His solos in Billies, Minarets, and Jimi were brilliant. There were times he seemed to be noodling, but hey, no one is dead on every second, especially if your job is to basically play around Dave's steady rhythm. The crowd really wasn't that bad. I noticed them talking during 2 Step. I love the song, but it WAS a bit lazy last night. And of course Dave made the necessary comment about all the fun he had in Amsterdam. Ben (feelin stupid because clare had to point out my sig was wrong) just another memo from the cellar, ************************************************************************Top Permalink

WOW! What a cool show! I can't exactly recall the setlist but I will give the highlights... First of all...Someone must have been listening...because Jimi Thing was definately an extended Jam...pretty long..I don't know about 10 mins...but 8 at least... Second...Cry Freedom! I don't know if he has been playing that lateley but it was sure a surprise to me. exact Dave quote #634: "This is an old one that we haven't gotten on an album yet, but I'm sure alot of you have it recorded." yet it sounded pretty much exactly like it does on Recently EP.. #36 was good also..never seen that either..

I hope I'm the first one on, if not then I apologize for taking up valuable space by repeating something that somebody else has already said. Anyway, I just now returned from the GW show (2:11am) and I had to throw my opinion in. Good news all, Boyd has finally woken from his drug induced coma! The last show I saw the band play, Boyd was essentiallly in the background not doing much, and from what I hear over this net, others have been saying the same. But tonight Boyd stole the show. This was probably the second best (or at least energetic) shows I've ever seenin my three years of Davedom. The crowd of course was a little unbearable at times, the Dave-come-latelies were out in full force and they brought their Watchtower/ants/Satellite yelling with them. Dave-"this is a new song" Drunken newbie-"Watchtower!!!!" Dave-"No, that's an old song. (expletive)" Rather amusing to those who experienced it. But on the good side, it was good to see Dave get such an excited and enthusiastic crowd. Not to mention that I like the crowd mix of DMB/RR fans, it made things a little friendlier, but don't ask me to explain how. Well enough of my jabbering, on with the setlist! _Seek Up(over 15mins., cool) -Dancing Nancies -Warehouse -Satellite -Ryhme&Reason -Best of what's around -NewSong (Satellite riff, drive in?, get in line?) -Tripping Billies -Jimi Thing (15 mins. just like the old days) -Cry Freedom -Minarets -Typical -#36 -Ants Marching -Halloween (encore) That's it folks. If anyone happend to record this show,give me a call, I would love to have a copy of it. For those of you going to tomorrows (tonights?) show in Lex. I'll see you there.

I don't think this is exactly right, but It's pretty close, I think. At least this is everything I remember them playing =) Seek Up Dancing Nancies Warehouse Satellite Rhyme and Reason Best of What's Around Get in Line Tripping Billies Jimi Thing Cry Freedom Minarets Typical Situation #36- Ants Marching Well, even if their set list can be predicted by Ben's "Virtual setlist", it evolves enough that shows are significantly different each time. Although, not too long ago, they were stuck on that damn Two Step into Ants Marching, which was great the first oh, five or six times.... I think it was too bad they dropped Two Step and not Ants =) Well, I liked the new song a lot, it's nice that there's now a song where I know NONE of the words to, and bonus, the lyrics are completely unintelligable. Very pleased with that. I don't really think they're stagnating, I think they're evolving a lot, though. Rhyme and Reason used to be a very jazzy and mellow song, and now is a fierce rocker. Typical Situation used to rock pretty hard, and has mellowed out a LOT. Cry Freedom gained a lot with the band backing... And then there's Jimi Thing. Hmm. They were playing it a lot up until about March or so, then it dissappeared for a while. Now it's mellowed out a lot, even if it jams as hard. Last night's jam was VERY incredible. But the one thing I miss about the song is the fourth verse that used to end the song that never made any sense. The jam just ends on a too mellow note for that these days. And I miss the extra lyrics in Pay for What And carter's harmony over the word "doing" Anyway, I personally don't think the music has gotten stale or redundant... (Tho maybe one or 2 songs in particular, on the whole, nope) See y'all tomorrow night!

Well, even if their set list can be predicted by Ben's "Virtual setlist", it evolves enough that shows are significantly different each time. Although, not too long ago, they were stuck on that damn Two Step into Ants Marching, which was great the first oh, five or six times.... See the thing is that their doing the same songs every night isn't even so bad (or maybe it's that I've given up trying to do anything about it and I'm rationalizing . . .). But they also do things the same WAY every time. Two Step Ants was fun, because we could impress the "dave-come-latelies" (I deleted the post but whoever coined that phrase-- thanks!). At the first note of two step you could tell everyone around you that ants marching was coming soon. They'd all be happy because their favorite song was coming up. At 8/6/94, they pulled out two step best. ha! I didn't know what was coming next and I liked it. I think it was too bad they dropped Two Step and not Ants =) ditto.

If not, I've got several other masters I'm going to seed a tree with. I'll be working security at this show, and probably won't have much time to mess with my deck, and/or chat during the show, so I'm going to have to find someone who is reasonably competent to handle my levels and flips if possible. I'll be at the Chapel at 5pm, and don't have to start working until 6:30. Maybe we can have a gathering or something between those times, if anyone else will be there :-). DRINKING in this show. You will be searched on the way in, and we'll be watching once you're in the show. You CAN, however, come and go as you please (there will be wristbands). PLEASE DON'T TRY AND SMOKE IN THE SHOW. You will get PERMANENTLY thrown out. This is the last concert ever at Wait Chapel, and we don't want to repeat the Widespread Panic fiasco ($80,000 damage to the chapel). Thanks -- Daniel J.

and from what I hear over this net, others have been saying the same. But tonight Boyd stole the show. This was probably the second best (or at least energetic) shows I've ever seenin my three years of Davedom. The crowd of course was a little unbearable at times, the Dave-come-latelies were out in full force and they brought their Watchtower/ants/Satellite yelling with them. You've been coming to Dave shows for three years and this was the first time you've seen people scream for Watchtower/ants/satellite? You're pretty lucky. That happens at EVERY show I've been to. I'm actually sorta glad they've gotten big. Their sound is well suited to larger rooms (even if we don't get to hang out with the band as much before and after). Believe it or not, most bands actually SOUND better in large places, because of the improvement in acoustics and equipment that goes along with the larger theaters and smaller coliseums.

I didn't realize so many would want a place to stay. Although it would be fun having the entire Horse Center come back to stay at my house, I guess I'm out of space. If I didn't mail you back it means I didn't have room. Sorry, maybe next time. Enjoy the show. BrittTop Permalink

Hey all, out. I taped the show at GW on DAT. I used mikes for Root and was phsyched to get my first soundboard patch for DMB. After the show I listened to the tape and there seems to have been something wrong with my connection. There is often a bit of scratchy static whenever the music peaks (my levels were OK). I know there were at least 4 DATs there and if you were one of the I would appreciate any help you have to offer. BTW, Root turned out near perfect. Take it easy, y'all. - Bill ************************************************************************* *************************************************************************Top Permalink
so much to say... but what would i say? i forgot. anyway, for the person who was perplexed about my post about dangerous hours/desperate hours/help myself, yourself/oh hungry boy/in a town of one hundred more/ the food is out the door...... you say it's been desperate hours in all your years of listening to dave? well, if you've been listening to dave since the beginning, that equals about 3 and 1/2 years, which isn't very long. anyway, he changed the lyrics in 1993 from desperate hours to dangerous hours (i liked desperate hours better, and i liked the song with peter better). i'm not sure, but when he first premiered the song, i think he was calling it "1-800-help myself," which is obviously the most cheezy of the three. then it became desperate hours, then dangerous hours, and then it's been flip-flopping b/w dangerous hours and help myself ever since mid-1993. eesh. it's late 1994....what happened to the time..... anyway...so some of ya'll tonight. keep an eye out for me. don't know what i'll be wearing, but if you know boofy, blake, clare, or catherine hobbs, i'll be in that general vicinity. i'd love to meet some more people. ps-jeff, send me a note. i want to ask you something and don't have your address. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

I'm going to start (as of five minutes from now) a thing called "minarets-history". As some of you may know, the moose.uvm.edu machine archives every single post to minarets. Since today marks one year since the release of Remember Two Things, I was getting a little nostalgic and curious about what we said about that album when it came out. My next message will contain three posts from around one year ago. I hope you all enjoy it and let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see in this series. I hope to have the next one ready for monday the fourteenth, or thereabouts. -Ben -------------------------------------------------------------------------Top Permalink
I like to briefly and shamelessly grovel for a copy of a dave solo or dave and tim show (not necessarily last week's since it sounds like there weren't any SBD patches...) If anyone feels kind enough to help me out, I've got some good stuff to trade, including a copy of 12/11/93 Williams College, featuring a one-time only song called Route 2, written on the bus while delayed in a snowstorm...

Minarets History Issue 1: -------------------- STU_RCTHOMPS@JMUVAX.BITNET GREAT STUFF HERE.... records here in harrisonburg, and i'd have to say that's this is a really strong debut cd, setting themselves up for a phenomenal follow up. ant marching, recently, satellite, christmas song and the song that jane likes are pretty much exactly what you expect them to be. but the rest of the songs have some interesting quirks--the intros to tripping billies and one sweet world were left off, and the jam sessions to minarets and seek up weren't included. i'd have to say that i like the way that this is set up, because it will help make their live shows even more powerful as they become more well known. guitar on i'll back you up and seek up, but as far as i'll back you up goes, i prefer stefan's bass solo. and don't worry about the lack of the violin solo on seek up, this studio version is _really_ good, probably the highlight of the cd, and runs a full 7 1/2 minutes as is. track appended to christmas song. when you get the cd, just let the cd go. it's a reprise of a song on the cd, and i'll leave it at that. anyway, i've got some serious lyrics file editing to get done, so i'll just let other people continue with comments on the cd... rick thompson stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu jmu box 5388 harrisonburg, va 22807 it's gonna be an eternity in here... ------------------------- was a great show, as usual, and I started to snooze a little toward the end. Then out of nowhere, they ripped into Seek Up (my vote for the best DMB song yet). After they finished that set, and I was waiting fearfully for the lights to come on, Boyd and dave came out for Angel from montgomery. I think it's been a while for that one. It was great. In spite of a lot of shouting for Halloween they wrapped it up with Warehouse. All I have to say is us folks in chville don't deserve this. Finally, I think we should all shower ellis of lemuria with gifts, money and first born children for running the Bayou tree. What a show!!!!! If anyone missed the signup, get in touch, and I'll spin you a copy. Pardon the spelling/grammer, it's been a long night. -------------------- HAVE NOT HEARD THE ALBUM -- THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION. However, it is a friend of mine who goes to UVa and someone who has been listening to Dave for well over a year and going to shows and all that. So kick back with an open mind and read this and see if you agree with any of the points. Please don't scream and yell and get offended -- it's just another viewpoint. I don't want to see another bitch session like after "Rift" came out and half the Phishnet said they had ----- doomed. It's fair at best. He did, however, have a substantial following waiting at midnight for its release. Marcus and I went dwon to Plan 9 around 12:30 or so and the line was out the door, around the building, and down the block. Very long wait. We said, "He's good, but he ain't that good..." So we went back to the house and sent some pledges to get it for us. They didn't get back until about 3:30. Stood outside and froze their nuts off while we enjoyed some fine billiards. It was great... understand what the fuck he was saying because he sounds like he's trying so hard to enunciate. So that sucks. He's not a very good singer to begin with, and when you can understand what he's saying, it's even worse. Also, although most of the album is live (from a show I saw, anyway, as a a matter of fact), they knew they were being taped and took a little off it to make sure they played the right notes and stuff. So it's kind of a flat performance. Also too, they left out some of the better songs to put in shit like 'Tripping Billies', a song we all know and hate. No 'Halloween', no 'Dead and Gone', no 'Spotlight'. I don't think 'Warehouse' is on it, either. Oh yeah, it ain't on no Columbia, either. Some basement label like "Rag Bone Records" or "Bona Rag" or something. the tape with decent stuff he's played. Who knows, maybe people who haven't heard good live shows will like it. Maybe he'll make some money and hire a real sax player and bassist. Or just get Greg Howard to cover both of their parts. I'm sure he could do a better job by himself than both Leroi and Stephan... ----- Leroi but... intelligent comments? feedback? alternative thoughts?

so much to say is supposed to repeat the bridges and chorus several times. i don't know how many times you've heard it, but it's called so much to say for good reason. do you have any copies of it with harmonica and A COPY OF 11-17-92!!!!! in fact, if everybody who has a copy of 11-17-92 sends one copy to somebody else, i bet we'd cover quite a bit of this net. anyone who has that show knows that it should be the quintessential part of any dmb boot collection, along with big league chew. btw, how many people would agree that so much to say is about learning how to talk? ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
So Much to Say was played twice in one week in the end of February, for somebody's (not my) birthday. And Help Myself was called Dangerous Hours at some point before it became Desprate Hours, but Dave had some problems cramming a 3 syllable word into a 2 syllable slot, so he changed it... at some point he decided to go back to dangerous, but if you notice, he now crams the whole word into 2 syllables, cutting out the 'er'. I don't know if he called it 1-800-HELP-MYSELF or what, I'm thinking more of the stages of the song itself.

Ok, here's how rumors get started... I'd heard that So Much 2 Say was an individual's struggle with homosexuality... Complete with references - - "I say my hell is the closet and I'm stuck inside...", but who knows??? Anyone??? I know Dave loves to assume roles in his songs... Similarly, "Recently" can be interpreted as an individual's struggle with an interracial relationship. Hence, the cover of the "Recently" EP. I guess I could be restating the obvious... is all of this common knowledge??? JDTop Permalink

Hi all. I am a fairly recent addition to the the growing legions of Dave Matthews fans. My first show was about 1 year ago in Boston, and since that time, his music has really become something special to me. It resonates through my life, my hopes, desires, fears, etc. What troubles me, however, is that it seems I somehow don't qualify as enough of a legitimate fan to be taken seriously on this discussion group, which I've been reading for a while without ever posting. Some people on this net act like Dave's music belongs to them personally because they've been fans longer than anybody else or because they've gotten to hang and talk with members of the band. Meanwhile, people who have not heard of Dave Matthews until recently, but love his music all the same, are relegated to the category of Dave-come-latelies... I think this title was meant to apply to drunken\obnoxious\ignorant people at shows, but it still sucks. Yes, there are people at shows who will never be quiet when you want them to... Yes, a lot of people like Ants Marching (I imagine most of you did once)... Yes, a certain intimacy has been lost as they move to larger venues... But it is ignorant and stupid to blame this on newer fans. I have as much right to be at a show as you do. Therefore, as more people want to see the band, it is only logical that the size of the venue will increase. As more people go to shows, the chances are higher that there will be people present with whom you would normally never get along... I had the good fortune to see these guys in a small club\bar in Colorado this past year, and I can understand how unique and special the feeling of such shows are. But instead of complaining about all of the new fans which make such shows extreme rarities these days, I suggest we treasure the experiences we have had and wish that everyone could know what it is like. Basically what I am saying is this. Those of you who have known about this band for a long time are lucky. You've seen and experienced more of this band than I probably ever will. I would hope, however, that you could now make room for us newer folks who (believe it or not) get as much enjoyment out of a show as you do, and whose enthusiasm should compensate for lack of experience. I love this music, and so do you. That's all there should be on this net. Thanks for the bandwidth. This is directed at no one in particular and I speak for myself only. Please flame me personally if you must vent. peace and good listening, jerm ___________________________________________________________________________ \ Jeremy C.

also, just how did an acoustic #36 sound? that must have rocked your world. It sure did. Tim played super-funky-cool-pseudo-bass-stuff. uh huh. and when i did dave play the tripping billies intro? i haven't heard of that happening in decades... He played the tripping intro on the only Dave&Tim show I have, 8/25/94 (birchmere, right?). Yup yup. So I guess he does it solo now but not full band. That's a shame.

A couple of notes.... as far as the Tim song that someone referred to as ..oh fuck, I forget what that person called it.. in any case, the Tim song from the Birchmere is called "The Hardest Bit" (Danny- did I read your handwriti correctly on that last word? is it Bit or Part?) You Are My Sanity and Stream are also Tim songs which he played at Wetlands and some other acoustic gigs. As far as Irving Songs, I was calling from the balcony for Angel so Dave turned to Tim and asked "Angel?" but right then a whole slew of people screamed for #36, so you know what happened. In terms of the Irving Crowd, I was really annoyed, there are just too many people who are only interested in themselves. I think it bothered Dave too, he came out to sing with Shannon and everytime he mumbled "Almost an Angel" (ironic, huh?) the crowed screamed and drowned out the music, he laughed at the crowd. When he came on with Tim he asked the crowd to maybe keep it down to "a tenth of the bellow" that is standard for shows beacause this was an acoustic show and should be quiet. He said he wished we all had seats and next time he'll get seats for us all. Regardless, some guy in the front left just wouldn't stop screaming "You go Davis! Yeah Dave! Woooo Davis!" So dave responded, "I don't think he gets it" well, the guy was so crazed that dave actually referred to him that he screamed louder, then Dave said, "This guy THINKS he's gonna get laid after the show" The guy screamed louder, so dave countered, "he wants attention, so lets all look at him and make him feel like an idiot" It really was refreshing to have an artist address the problems we sometimes face when trying to enjoy shows. The guy kept screamin but dave played on. At set break, the stagehand came out and told the guy he'd have to be quiet or leave. Well, maybe someday people will learn about respect for others. At least the guy can go around and brag that Dave Matthews thinks he's an asshole. Later, Ian ps- anyone know where I can get a Tim or TR3 CD?Top Permalink

Hey now, could somebody who's in charge here PLEASE post some info about the New Year's show, like, WHEN exactly tickets go on sale, and HOW exactly someone on the net could get tickets (I seem to remember something about a block of tix being set aside for minaretters...)? Also, since I'm not 21 and won't be until next May, should I be concerned about the possibility of not being able to, shall we say, imbibe at this show? I mean, if they want us to shell out 50 bucks for tix, are they going to care about carding at the door or at the bar, etc? I'm sure somebody out there has some info about the policy at the place where Dave is playing. Any help would be appreciated.

well, i went through this elaborate process to write down precise times for tonights show, but silly me, i apparently left that particular index card sitting in a field in lexington, and i'm not driving an hour back there to get it. biggest problem being that the rusted root setlist was on that card. oh well. but here's what i thought, anyway... stagnation is NOT the word. dave band rocks. enough said. i still strongly hold to my conviction, though, that they are not a band worth following across the country, but damn straight they're a band worth seeing when they come through town. rusted root (this is just a list of the songs they did in no particular order) (*== boyd stepping in with fiddle in hand. pretty unreal) jimi thing (12 minutes) song that jane likes lover lay down what would you say tripping billies (with the original intro, though no screaming) dancing nancies (didn't catch what dave could have been. but warehouse cry freedom (oy) recently (12 minutes. but i think that rr should have come back out. christmas song (completely dave solo. just him, his guitar, and a (are you ready for this.........) a new song!!!!!!!!!!! (no name, though. not surprising, seeing as it --halloween. my tapes turned out great, but as i've said before, i can't trade. i have no equipment, and troubling gregg all the time to use his probably wouldn't be a good idea. anyway, there were 13 analog decks going and a dat, so getting this show won't be a problem, if you really want it. if you can't figure out what i'm talking about when i say schmuz, go listen to either of your cd's, and when you hit 'skip,' think "schmuz." rusted root rocked. -seeing clare, boofy, blake, cathy, and meeting a shitload of people. -bowing down to bagby's buddha. -zoning to the perpetual motion thing over bagby's shoulder. -kelly. poor, sweet kelly. (but, alas, it just wasn't meant to be;) -staring at the sky (with a gun in my hand, staring at the sea, staring i'm not going to talk about the crowd, because i didn't go to analyze the crowd, just hear some good music. i didn't succeed. i heard some _GREAT FUCKING_ music. AS WELL AS a special performance of the band with the richmond symphony on february 14th. look for those tix on dec 3. no price on the latter, but, as we all know, the former is 52.00 plus. but no fret. everything is charging $70 for their nye bash in dc. well, 8 o'clock approaches quickly, at which time i have an engagement, so perhaps i best get some sleep. thank you for riding minarets.net. please push forward on the restraint bar and exit to your left and WALK SLOWLY down the exit ramp. and enjoy the rest of your day here at kings dominion. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________ but kelly...what will become \ rick thompson of the children? \ stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.eduTop Permalink
just start off by saying that off all the shows I've been to that crowd was by far the worst I've ever seen. It started off with two guys next to me getting in a huge fist fight and beating the shit out of each other until ten more poeple jumped in. The body surfing was to be expected, but at one point I actually saw 5 people carry another person around for 5 min. because there was no one else to pass her to... Dave is great music but his following seems to be getting worse and worse... said "sorry if I'm not talking as much as usual but I'm not used to this many people, I'm scared shitless" (or something like that) had incredible jams!! Also, if anyone hasn't had the chance to see Rusted Root they are a MUST see, they really know how to jam... weekend... Look for 6'6" guy with a white hat floating around the soundboard!!Top Permalink
The Lexington show rocked! I won't go on, because I couldn't do it justice, but they jammed and funcked it up. I took about 10 people with me that had never seen dave, but loved the CD. They danced and went crazy and loved it. I would do almost anything to get my hands on a tape of this show. I know it will be a hot one, but I would love to have as well a bunch of the new comers that came with me. Like I said, if whoever taped it wants to work out a tree, or if you want to trade, or if you need money, whatever, just drp me a not and lets get this going! Love, love, love!

Hours/Help Myself has arisen, I thought I would put in what I could. My first knowledge of the song comes from the 5/26/92 show at Trax. Dave introduces it as a new song call Help Myself. Obviously is has gone through changes since. But does anyone have a recording of it prior to this date? If not it would seem the that was the original title. show was good, I wanted to be there but damned classes and exams get in the way (weak excuse, I know, nothing should take precedence over Dave but...) Anyway, I still am happy everyone out there enjoyed ut and I will try not to be bitter that I missed it. (Obligatory grovel) So does anyone out there want to appease my broken heart and trade the show to me? I have some pretty good stuff to offer in return (old, as mention above, and new) And while I am on te subject, I am still searching hard for a tape of the 10/14 show in Athens. I am willing to do anything for it! Well, it is late and I have the damned exam, had better do damned well on it. Greg P.S. Jon R. at U. Richmond - Are you out there? Write me and say hi if you are.

Hi there, Miguel Valdez benefit concert? All I know is it wasn't in Charlottesville and it was some time in March of '93. Dave says something about Tim Reynolds being "from over the hill in Charlottesville" so I'm guessing Richmond or Harisonburg or something like that. BS&M(sp?) and TR3 also played at this show.

it's funny. at last year's nye show, i ran into a freind of mine shortly before 1 a.m. who lived across from me freshman year. i was 20 last nye, making him 19. he was so tipsy that he nearly knocked over 7 tape decks in the middle of the second set. what i'm wondering is how much he must have consumed before the show to still be that drunk at 1 a.m. :) hakuna matada.........any self respecting drunk would spend 53.00 to not see dave on nye. so what the hell... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

first few people who reply. (I'll take blanks or trades.) Second, I'm wondering if anyone out there has a tape with Kristin Asbury singing Angel From Montgomery. I've heard her sing at lots of Dave shows over the years, but there was one show in particular during the summer of 1992 (around the time when Boyd got married) when they had a lot of guest musicians all at one show. If anyone has any idea what show I'm talking about--it was a pretty memorable one if you were there--please write me back. Thanks! -KimTop Permalink

well, the show had it's fair share of asshole/obnoxious/ignorant dave come-latelies, i have bruises to prove. i first want to apologize for blocking anybody's view for the first half of the show as i stood up on the railing in the front. the thing is, we have these things called lungs and when a big metal bar is pushing against them, they don't work so good, so that was the only foreseeable way i could get them to properly function. the show kicked ass! some great instrumentals especially since the groopies couldn't sing to them. speaking of groupies (i guess i better watch what i say here though), carter's new (?) girlfriend was in front of me with the security people. this petite, cute little blonde who couldn't be a day over 19. she was noreen/doreen/whoever dave dedicated cry freedom to. i hope for the band's sake she's not a groupie, and that she really likes carter for who he is, but you never know. i met some great jmu goers too, and some were new to dave and weren't the typical come-latelies :) harrisonburg is know as the 'friendliest city' so maybe that's it. sorry for such a long and somewhat pointless post. :) jaimeTop Permalink
When, what, where, how, and to whom did Boyd get married? I never knew about that. I started going to see Dave at the Floodzone all the time near mid to late 1992 and I never knew? Please inform me and maybe the rest of the DMB fans.

hey all. Dave came out riding a horse last nite. nuff'said. had a blast dancin' near all the hardcore minaretters. good to see you in reality, finally, even though i knew ya'll already, but the names now have a face. cool.....see you new years unless your in Richmond and need a place to crash.... don't remember "blood of the children" at all, but around that time i was sitting way in back smoking a cig and contemplating the existence of us all. so. i think thats what that song is for anyway. most people use that song to go get a beer if ya' know what i mean. CRY FREEDOM CRY. the horsey show was great but i feel some void. i feel like we went on an incredible journey through time and space and i got left behind on the moon. i'm running out of air!!! i want something to fucking happen.only my driving and dancing partner last nite would understand this post. life is purple and wavy. PEACE. ****************************************************************** as a post post. bagby is crazy. he shared an amsterdam treat...how it got here is bagby's karma...he rules. as another side note. blake and clare. Em arrived home safer then when we left. i drive well...maybe ignore the lines sometimes...but i used to take a coloring book and flip over to the backs of the pages and create a drawing..."...don't throw away your playful beginnings..." lates.Top Permalink
incredible. absolutely incredible. show was a little slow starting off but once they started jamming there was no stopping them. i also didn't recognize 2 of the first songs --- anybody know what they were? (songs 1 and 3 i think, but don't quote me). too bad the audience wouldn't shut up during lover lay down. if anyone taped this PLEASE trade with me. halloween made me cry. eat drink and be merry, heatherTop Permalink
for davenet - check out rr if you can.. I've seen them 3 times now, and they really put on an incredible show. About 1/4 of the way into Ecstasy, I saw an odd object spinning through the air over the stage.. Then I noticed one of the drummers was reaching to grab another drumstick... he'd broken the thing right in half. as mentioned before, both bands sets were sick.. when boyd sat in with rr, I was close enough to see the expressions on the faces of the rr members.. they all had that expression of awe that seems to be common when you're around a daveband member.. they looked like they were thinking, 'damn, we NEED one of these.." I didn't wander back to the soundboard until about halfway into dave's set, but did rr not allow soundboard patches? but I use that to write, so maybe my left arm instead? 'course, if you don't want any arms, I'd be glad to trade or something.. it was very nice to meet and re-meet some people, & looking forward to seeing some of you at wfu.. :) take care, brett ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brett Kingswell bmking@mail.wm.edu If only God would give me some clear sign!

Hey there y'all! today, but does anyone have info on how to get NYE tix?? I don't remember seeing a post on it. See y'all at Wait Chapel tomorrow! -DashTop Permalink
Looking foward to getting to actually meeting some of you in person tomorrow night. I stop by the soundboard to check out who all is there. I'll be wearing a Timberland hat (blue with cream-colored bill.) Not sure exactly where my seats are (I phone ordered the tix, but I memember the lady on the phone said something about front-center, so they should be pretty desecnt.) But form What I heard about the Widespread show at Wait, the reserved seating quickly turned into gen-admission. We'll see what happens. Unless (for some god-forbidden reason) the show sucks (which I don't think is really spossible), I will definately want a tape of the show. So to whoever is taping, I'll trade. I have the 10.26.93 show at Trax-UVa that is really nice and you must have it. There are five dave solos at the beginning and Halloween rocks for about 15min. A must have. Will be willing to trade withanyone who gets copy of the Wake show. Will stop by the soundboard to work something out. I'm meeting (tentatively) my friends (who arenot on minarets) outside around 6:30 and there was apost on here that other netters will be outside Wait around 7:30. Hope to meet you all there! TOMORROW NIGHT BABY! alexTop Permalink
Ahhh Rick and I will only understand the subject title.... I won't write a full review, seeing as that there were a ton, but a few comments. Following my own advice, I had a great time, plenty of room to dance with all my close buds and a great view from behind the soundboard. No bruises, my lungs were fine (except for my cigarette smoking). went quite well. With Bagby's generosity and my Y-jacks, the signal was split 3 ways and all tapes should come out well, (except for those few irresposible on the end) Rick saved the day with a power strip. THANX :-) don't wear shoes when possible Spoon whenever possible Buy some y-jacks...... Take good notice of the items placed on top of the sound equipment.. Listen to more Root... Road trip.... Avoid the clap.... anyway..... latr..... *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |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

1. What two things am I supposed to remember? i think this has been covered before..but...1. Love your Mother 2. Leave nothing but footprints. 2. What's the story on Peter Greisler? Was he a full time member of DMB? When and why did he leave? Did he only play keyboard? What's he I think this is in the FAQ (or should be...) Peter was a full time member until spring of 93 (March 23rd was his last show...) I think that's still winter..umm... He played Keyboard, Harmonica, spoons (once or twice it think...) and I saw him play his face and bald head once. He left the band and moved to Tibet, where he's studying ancient texts in search of the one true revealation. peace and be safe y'all... BlakeTop Permalink
I attended the DMB show last night in Lexington. I have two good things to say, Halloween rocked and Rusted Root is an incredible band. The crowd last night was by far the worst crowd I have ever seen at a show. I saw two fist fights (not arguments). In the parking lot some assholes were throwing ice at this car and for about twenty minutes these assholes just yelled at people in there cars trying to start fights. There were dumbasses walking around yelling 'the nitrous is over here' and 'where did my bong go'. There was room to move in the crowd by the stage so I moved to the stands to dance and so I could enjoy the music. Worst of all, people started clapping during the slow part of an acoustic version Dave played in the encore of Christmas Song. Oh, everywhere I turned people were making out, I hate PDA (public displays of affection) and not trying in the least to be discrete about it. It made me sick. I think Dave didn't say much because the crowd was so shitty. Oh, what the fuck is up with this crowd surfing crap. Go see Rancid or Avail if you want to crowd surf not dave matthews. HIs music is about love and drugs not beating the shit out of people. How did he get such a shitty following when he plays such wonderful music.

so much to say is supposed to repeat the bridges and chorus several times. i don't know how many times you've heard it, but it's called so much to say for good reason. do you have any copies of it with harmonica and A COPY OF 11-17-92!!!!! a) the point is that he NEVER PLAYED THE CHORUS at irving plaza. the only other so much to say i have is 11/25/92 (i love ben tanen). b) i have 11/17/92, but the fuck who i traded with screwed up the second set, and it's the dead or something. i dunno what live dead tapes sound like so maybe it's not the dead, but it sure sounds like there are a fuck-load of people screaming at the band. oh, and i don't really like this mystery tape, so it probably IS the dead (rick, you share this opinion right?).

a friend of mine is looking for two tickets to the wake show--just email me any information. dave got kinda big kinda fast, no? kinda expected tho. last night's show was alright i guess. it was nice to see some familiar faces again. and i'm not sure if this has already been done or if it was just a dream, but i think clare should be elected honorary den mother. :) and cry freedom, which was not even on the setlist(?) rocked rocky ricky? roll butter & jam - brian.

In regard to an earlier post in which Carter's girlfriend Doreen was mentioned... (Although it's not really any of our business).... Doreen IS in college at Hollins, her and Carter have been dating for over a year now, and she is REALLY nice and likes him for who he is not what he is. Enough said....don't give her a hard time.Top Permalink
Are tapes of the 11/9/94 show circulating yet? I'd _really_ like a copy of this one... SteveTop Permalink
