returned with soundboards of both the Boone and Wake Forest shows... I'd like a copy of the Lexington show if anyone would like to trade, but I don't have time to trade with that many people... played (I am very grateful that they did!) It sounded like he was going through puberty, his voice cracked every time he had to sing high or low... The setlist was incredible and they did some sick jams, including Seek Up... Dancing Nacnies, #36, True Reflections, and One Sweet World were all GREAT... But as my good friend said "Rusted root outplayed Dave" :) ... and they certainly did... RR was great and I bought their disc as soon as doors opened... The soundman told me they just finished recording a video, but they have no idea when it might be on (I don't even know what song)... Well, I enjoyed my three consecutives shows and I look forward to Dave coming back to VA.. Remember, I need a Lexington... P.S.- Lets all wish Dave a quick recovery from his cold!Top Permalink
hey all. just discovered something. since DAMABA has a record label backing them,their equipment has gotten alot phatter.................. therefore making our bagbies sound way,way phat with a capital PH. with so many decks making their way to soundboard, I commented to the Bagman why Phish can't allow soundboard patches anymore and how long till Dave gets this problem.... he looked at me like I had insulted him and said, " don't worry,i'm cool." if i had had half a Z he would have gotten it free of charge. suggestedly be called " Violet Ivy " well.... i listened to it without the lights and maybe it should be called word.) or maybe " Violent Ivy and the Marsupial "(song sounds like Australia) or maybe " Aussie Ivy " or maybe...ouch...someone just hit me on the head with an umbrellla...Top Permalink
I don't know exactly who puts all the time and effort into compiling the FAQ file, but I just wanted to say thank you. I just wanted to make one little eensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy correction. In the cover section, it said that DMB does the song Watchtower (as we all know) by Jimi Hendrix. I wanted to make it known that, while Hendrix made this song popular, it was written by Bob Dylan. I don't say this to flaunt my superior knowledge because, god knows, there are MANY poeple out there who know more about music than I. I just wanted to make sure that the FAQ file is entirely accurate. Once again, thanks to all those who put the file together - it's a tremendous contribution. Oh yeah. Regarding the cover section, I would like to get my hands on Nature (Samples) and Sympathy for the Devil (Stones). I'm aways looking for a trade anytime, anywhere, so drop me a line if you're interested. I have many DMB shows with all the other covers + songs you don't hear anymore.

Hi all, if anyone out there has an extra ticket for any of the Fox theater shows Nov 17, 18, or 19, please let me know. Regardless, hope to see you at the Fox on the 17th and in Vail on the 20th. Sucks to be forced to go to the all ages show, but I guess thatis the way it goes when your birthday is on the 21st and Dave is playing on the goddamn 17-20th. Shit!Top Permalink
The following is the tree structure for Jambay - Fox Theatre 6-14-93. I didn't really intend on it being a tree, but the response was large enough. The only people that have to make tapes are the ones that offered to make them. The show is approximately 180min long so it should fit on 2 90s. DD DA AA Gray Proulx - grayp@pinn.net Well, thats it. Sorry it took so long, but I don't think I'm happy unless I have too much to do. If there are any questions, conflicts or suggestions, feel free to email me at grayp@pinn.net Enjoy, Gray Silence comes with no instructions!Top Permalink
I have got a couple of question rearding MIDI that I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with. Now that I have myself a little time between quarters I have been messing around with my new computer and found that I have the capability to use MIDI in a multitude of different ways. I have a 16 bit sound card and a MIDI orchestrator program built in, allowing me to record up to 16 different tracks and combine them, like a little recording studio. Ok, about my questions. First of all, I need an instrument to play into the computer. My brother has a multitude of guitars that he runs through a nice little processor with a MIDI in and out jack in the back. Can I then run the guitar through the processor and then into the computer, similar to running a keyboard into the computer? The other thing that I need to know is how much a MIDI connector cable costs. If there is anyone that has worked with this I'd love to hear from you, stuff like what it's like, any suggestions, etc. Thanks! -Just a student with a little too much unstructured playtime!!!!!!!!!!Top Permalink

I have a few quick questions, 1) I just talked to a guy at Red Light who told me that the Marriot was giving special room rates for anyone who had tickets to the NYE show -but when I called the Marriot they said that they were not. Is there a magic word I should say when I call the Marriot again? 2) While I'm at my home in Northern VA over the break is there any way I can logon to one of the area schools' systems, as a guest or something? 3) What harmonica-key does Peter play on So Much To Say? 4) Do carpet bunnies eat carpet carrots? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Top Permalink
I just bought a thinline gold martin pickup for my alverez-yeri 6-string. And I was thinking about using my 4-trak rack as a guitar rack when I play out, but I still want a true guitar sound. I know many of you play, so I was wondering if anyone had any good outboard pre-amp suggestions in the $300 or so price range. Rack mountable would be a dream.

The Knoxville set was excellent. Not much new, and dave still had vocal problems, but he diddn't let it bother them at all. Seek Up Nancies Best of Whats Around, OSW, True Reflections, Lie in our Graves, Satellite, 36, recently, ants, warehouse, jimi, Angel, christmas, watchtower, ect.(not in order). Jimi was great as usual. Boyd got to sing twice and thats always good. The crowd was fourteen and female. Its funny to watch them ie. after 36, or the intro to tripping billies. They have no idea whats about to come so you can watch them as they go nuts when the song, as they know it on cd starts. Although young, they behaved well. no moshing. Dave and leroi hung out after for a while. Always good chatting with the boys Justin Sonfield S.P.O. 183 735 University Avenue Sewanee, Tn 37383-1000 (615)-598-2190Top Permalink
Hello all you lovely people you :) first DMB show) a message got posted to minarets about exclusivity (damn that's hard to spell) of the net. Well the night before i had the ability to meet a couple of the reguliars so I decided to try and help them and help jerm understand what i think i do. What insued was a small discussion on the matter. As with most things after a little discussion what was really meant came out. This is a letter i got from jerm that explains what he meant. I'm posting this since some people might delete it with out reading it if he posts it. What you guys had missed before this letter was basically just me explaining that the reguliars here (or at least the one's i've met) are cool as shit people who are very freindly. The reason this net is diffrent then mosts is (or so i think) that the reguliars are close freinds. More than just see each other at shows and may be share a beer afterwards but are really freinds this was the responce i've gotten from jerm and he said it was cool if i posted this. so read and understand. I hope this clears things up. However, minarets is a public forum, supposedly open for all dmb fans to read and contribute what they like. As such, I still think it needs to be a little more open then it currently is, and THAT is why I posted that message. I want newbies to crawl out of the corner and feel free to say their share. I want the oldies to offer up wisdom and cool stories about dave & co., while being a little more specific when lamenting some ass at a show. That's all. (this is what i said i was going to send but to give jerm a human side i'm going to throw this into hope he doesn't mind) I would love to meet the old crew, although living in Boston makes that unlikely. I'm sure they are great people. I guess I'm just hoping they will become more aware of everybody else. I don't want anyone to stop posting or talking to each other. I guess I just want everybody to feel like they can contribute. Again, I've received more email from people, both old and new, who at least partially agree with what I wrote. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I'm just trying to remedy this rather simple problem. As usual, it's been a pleasure. peace and good listening, jerm Hope this clears things up. It is a bit of a problem but a double sided problem at that. The old timers can't (and shouldn't) stop being and acting like freinds. So the new people got to throw some words in now and then. But it isn't just all newbie stuff problems the old timers got to remember this isn't the old days when everyone knew eachother and you knew where all the toes were so you didn't step on any. Umm. ever lose your train of thought mid sentence. Shit what else was I going to say shit. Oh well I hope i didn't step on to many toes here and screw things up any more and if i ever remember what the hell i was going to say i'll let you know. sorry for the length bye mattTop Permalink
To all of those people out there who can't see the forest for the trees, let me please point out that if you would stop digging through my posts looking for things to rant about, and read it in it's entirity, you will see that it was *gasp* and apology!! I'm sorry if I didn't take the time to explain myself completely, but frankly I didn't want to waste anymore bandwidth than I already was. I felt the need to apologize and clarify the meaning of "Dave-come-latelies", and admittedly I didn't do a very good job of it, but that cannot be done in words, it's something that you must experience for yourself. If you read the message then you weren't the type of person I was talking about. Anybody who cares enough or likes Dave's music enough to subscribe to the net is automatically excluded. To all of those who could care less about this little exchange, I apologize for making you read this. To everybody else, I apologize for wasting bandwidth. To those who have a problem with what I said, spare the netters, write me directly. And for God's ake, stop being offended by things that don't exist, and read the posts in the context that they were written. "On the fence so as not to offend" no pointless Dave quotes today, I'm quite pissed. Today only, smoking is not only allowed but ENCOURAGED in my message.Top Permalink

Hey guys, this is to all with a little personal to Fred added. First off, I met Fred at the show and he's cool, so don't be harsh and flame him. Secondly, Fred went on a minor road trip compared to mine (boston to Delaware and then a 9 hour road trip with my best friend.) Just a did the management pick a venue in a town where the traffic lights are 15 min apart from each other? I gue this question comes from going to school up here in Boston, where you can spit from one light to the next( although I haven't tried.) Finally, about the Boone show... Before Dave and co. came out, I thought that the crowd was going to be as horrible as this summer Paradise crowd. My best friend and I were up at the front, because we like to talk to the band while they're playing. While patiently waiting for the boys to take stage, we witnessed a 6 foot tall girl punch a 5 foot tall girl in the face, simply because she was trying to get where she could actually see any of the band members. But anyway, Fred was right about Dave's voice being shot, but he was totally wrong about RR outplaying daveband. The reason RR could have been deemed as putting on a better show than the boys is because to my knowledge, none of them were sick. I know for a fact that most of the guys were jet lagged from their recent excursion to Europe and they caught cold. Boyd, Dave and Carter were all sick with colds, Leroi was admittedly a bit hungover... Stefan was happy and even a bit bouncy and although I didn't get to talk to him, he seemed the only one in fine form. Dave said on stage that they were all jamming pretty hard, which I agree to considering how shiity they were feeling. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's been a while since true reflections was heard. The band playing it on Sat night was not because they missed playing it, but because Dave was about to lose his voice and Carter said that they did it to give him a break. If anyone has or gets the tape, they will see that Dave's voice is almost totally gone for #36, and it was really painful for me to see the physcial suffering that Dave was going through as he literally grasped for some notes. Another significant downer was that they started to play Drive In, Drive Out, which Leroi told me before the show was a definite possibility, but it switched into SATELLITE. That stunk. But that's beside the point. It was good to hear Lie In and True Reflection , no matter what the reason. Because of Dave being under the weather, there were no funny Dave-isms and the could-I-have-beens for Dancing Nancies were strictly from the CD. Considering what they were going through physically at the time of the show, I think that they did a fabulous job. Anyone who was at the show and has any complaints about the performance should know that the band felt like shit themselves about the performance and should take that into consideration before they wine bitch about being let down. Congrats to those of you who made this far, you are now an honorary meber of the patience club. Thanks for dealing with my little mini-paper on the Boone show. Listen to live Dave, do your best to be happy, and please let the 5-5 and under people in front of you if they politely ask you to let them by when you happen to be a huge 6 ft and above person. p.s. Desperately seeking to trade for the Oct 1 Phily show. Can anyone help me out? LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT INDENTING!! jfTop Permalink
Ahh, well I am quite happy to heard the good ole intro back. Yet I am eagrly awaiting the screams full band version of summer 93. Anyways I have some brainstorms on this subject... While we might all know it now, it must be pretty cool for newer fans to hear an intro you've never hear to a fav song of yours. I remember the first time I heard the long full band intro, I went orgasmic, well not really but you know what I mean. Or Wait Chapels little Satellite intro, that was pretty cool. The PB&Jam/JustAJam/Violent Australain Ivy Plant Jam into Halloween at Lex/Wait was hot also. Anyone who was at or has 7-14-93 flood zone and has heard the funky warehouse intro will know exactly what I am talking about. Dave is actually doing a good job to confuse/suprise both groups of fans. The new ones are exited about suprises we know about. We're exited about ones we don't. On humourous DaveSpeak....I think its funyn that Dave plugged his merchandise in a church and ever condemned himself for it....

Rick, about here it is. Bama Rags release 0002, as you probably have seen/own, was a radio promo CD that contained a earlier edit of Recently (even worse), an Ants radio edit (nixed the 30 sec snare tap) and CD cuts of Jane and Tripping (i think, mybe OSW) and has almost the same cover, except the two people are in different positions and one is holding a pumpkin (hint for Halloween on CD? i don't know.

can somebody tell me how different were the lex and wiat shows. From the posts they sound quite similar. I got more soul than a sandal.Top Permalink
well as brett said on the difference and variety among the lex and wait shows "I could have gotten more variety by hitting random on my cd player" while UTTAD was playing. but but the feeling was much different for starters .. when i came home from lex .. i could smell the multiple types of fagrant second hand smoke when i got in the car after wait .. there was no smoke to be smelt because it was purest ..maybe event innocent show ive ever been to the crowd at lex. is also much more familar with the band and maybe it is that the band knows how to play to the crowd. at lex much was expected and lots was received jammy funky wise as well as dancin smiley wise .. and and at wait the cd was expected and that was given with lots of davey showmanship to boot comparing the set lists youll see a slight difference .. comparing the lenghts of the 2 ill bet lex is way way longer ..its all in the mood atleast in my mind catherineTop Permalink
Has anyone who listens to DMB created tape covers for the live shows?Top Permalink
dave put on another great show last night despite problems with his voice. not much different from any other set lists i've seen posted lately, but for me i enjoyed True Reflections and Angel from Montgomery which i haven't heard in a while. boyd and carter both had awesome shows and i even saw steffan SMILE and look up at the crowd for once! the venue was the electric ballroom which is pretty large and i was worried about the crowd at first. however, it turned out pretty good with no moshing or extreme crowing. in fact, justin and i even made enough space to get in some really good dancing right up front (i like being where i can see carter). we made some great new friends from alabama and we might even go to nye with them! overall, the crowd seemed to be mainly new-comers to live dave shows and we got some really wierd stares during Lie in our Graves and #36 etc. cause we were singing at the top of our lungs and dancing our asses off. i'm sure i was being completely annoying, but i just couldn't help myself. however, i think dave the lady killer really got a kick out of the dozen or so teenage (interpret very young) girls that stood right in front of him and drooled and squealed throughout the show. they were absolutely hilarious (i don't mean this as an insult) and dave just ate up all the attention! When the crowd did know a song, they really got into it and had a great time DANCING, not just swaying or moshing. the best part was watching the unsuspecting look on crowd's faces during that new intro to tripping billies suddenly burst into huge smiles and all get-out when the familiar part came around. that's what makes dave so special... the surprises. i think the new guys are kinda luck cause they don''t always know what's coming up. justin always wants to know the set list ahead of time but i just enjoy finding out as the show goes along. keeps it interesting!!! however, that's not to say that dave doesn't keep the average bootleg fan "yeah! yeah!" in tripping that kicks ass!!! i was really excited to hear christmas song since i've never heard it live. again, the crowd was great and remained almost perfectly quiet as dave pulled off a spine-tingling solo despite his strained voice. he said he had to go ahead and sing it now since he wouldn't be back this way till later next year. :-( overall i say it was a great performance and just goes to show that these bigger crowds CAN be a lot of fun if ya just give them the chance. granted i will always love and remember the "reach out and touch the band" venues of the old days, but i can learn to share as long as i can still see carter's smile and dance like no tomorrow! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together." --Robert Fulghum "Lost in the arms of morpheous -- that somnambulistic state of glorious oblivion......" --My dad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jennie Akins SPO 1117 735 University Avenue Sewanee, TN 37383-1000 akinscj0@seraph1.sewanee.eduTop Permalink

He fixed it now and it sounds great! I want to make these as good as possible so you can all enjoy this wonderful show. Thanks for being patient and I promise they will be coming soon. =DD Bernie, you only sent one 90 min. tape which presents a problem. The show is pretty long and I am going to need another 90 min tape to get the whole show for you. Or, if ya want, I can just record as much as I can and just send it back that way. Write and tell me what you want me to do. =FD Scott, I'm sending two 90 min tapes for the trax 11/17/92 show along wit= h your copy of the Nashville show. Is that length okay??? ~ Ben, I think we're gonna go with the 5 tape trade (superjam and athens 2/4, 2/5/94).

recording fear not! At the Lex. show the soundman said that Dave would always allow recording, ask Dan if you don't believe me! But anyway, Fred was right about Dave's voice being shot, but he was totally wrong about RR outplaying daveband. The reason RR could have been deemed as putting on a better show than the boys is because to my knowledge, none of them were sick. I know for a fact that most of the guys were jet lagged from their recent excursion to Europe and they caught cold. Boyd, Dave and Carter were all sick with colds, Leroi was admittedly a bit hungover... I completely agree with the reasons WHY Dave didn't play as well but the fact remains that they didn't! It was RR's last show and I think they definitely outplayed Dave. Dave's show was intense at times, but RR kept it consistent... Dave's still my #1 man and all but I still say that at Boone RR took the show.. Oh well, enough about that...Top Permalink
I was just flipping through my new issue of Rolling Stone and found a couple of interesting things. First of all, there is an article about free speech and the internet. I have been around the internet now for a while and have seen a couple of posts about how "big brother" etc. look at what gets posted and has used this information against people. This particular article is about a person who posted a suicide note to a newgroup, not taking it too seriously himself. He was later taken to a mental institution, evaluated, and let go. I'm not making any judgements on this particular case, I just thought this article would be of interest to the users of the internet. The other thing that I found (Dave Matthew related) was that UTTAD is rated #1 by Rolling Stone under the "Altenative Music" catagory, with a nice little picture of the cover in the corner. I sure hope that the little *%^# that broke into my car and took my DMB CD's and my CD player last week realizes how cool his music is!!!!!!!!!!!!! I encourage everyone to pick up a Rolling Stone and check this article out! Have fun everyone!!!!!Top Permalink
I can feel for him- I had a cold singing in a musical at UVA- it sucked. If anyone talks to him on a regular basis, let him know to be careful. Singing on the cold i had shot my voice for about 6 mos- i couldnt get the high notes i was used to hitting with ease. He should NOT TALK at ALL all day until singing at night, and he should gargle with a mixture of Benadryl Cough Syrup (its a kiddie medicine- pink in a plastic bottle) and luke warm water. My voice coach tells me its what all the opera singers use before shows, and it worked well for me. Also, i hope he has been taught about how to sing from the diaphragm (sp?) and not from purely his throat-- or we wont be able to enjoy his voice for years to come...!!!! He worries me, esp on songs like Halloween and the screaming part of Say Goodbye... So, if anyone has his ear, you may want to pass on that benadryl thing... KristinTop Permalink

'poison me against the moon' when i got in the car after wait .. there was no smoke to be smelt because it was purest ..maybe event innocent show ive ever been to true true true. halfway through typical situation (actually more toward the end of the jam at the end) i looked up to the chandeliers, and the way the steps circle the edges of the chapel looking down, and the glow of the lights, and i felt like i was in medievil times and we were at a fest. i expected dave and the boys to toast us with wine goblets or something. and i was almost half confused that i wasn't dressed liek a princess and that the guys around me didnt' have chain-meal on ... wait.. except dan.. who had on camoflauge..... that's kinda close. he counts as robin hood). i was stone sober. it was amazing. this type of totaly spiritual energy filled me. atleast in my mind catherine no no silly.. in all our minds.... hee hee ok. kick back and get a glass of kool aid and let me take you to my own dandelion field..... 'and i hate and i hate elevator music, the way we about the whole discussion of netters being friends in real life (as opposed to this not being real life or anythigng.. ) many of us have taken this opportunity to indulge ourselves in the other aspects of other netters lives. i being one. some of my closest relationships have been conceived on this net. if anyone caught a glimple of maybe 14 or so people dancing around the soundboard at lexington, hugging eachother, punching eachother on the arms, dancing, spinning, laughing, smiling. you saw the people you converse with on this net. in the group of friends i know, not a one of us would ever exclude anyone..... like i said. its was about 14 of us, and i didnt' just immaculately start at that number. we all brougt new people into the group. it started with one or two. and we have woven our blanket to encase us all.. and our blanket is continually being woven to include this whole net's expanse. my personal philosophy is that the more you learn about other people, the more you learn about yourself.. and you can never learn enough about yoruself. lessee.. what else was i going to say. well.. my point of that all was for no one to feel like any exclusivity is going on. there is none of that. please be happy for us who have happened upon friendships indirectly through this small c-ville band we call the dave matthews band. we owe so much more to them than they realize. so come up to me at a show... i'll be ever so excited to meet you. or if you're lonely.. just send me some mail.. and then we can spark up a friendship that way.... cause it's ever so fun to make new friends. we can swing on mental swings in our heads together.... and make plans to get together adn do it in person sometime......okay? love light and jubilance, clare emily den mother troop #346 'somebody leave the light on...' ******************************************************************************* *******************************************************************************Top Permalink
somebody a while back posted something about a tape with the four songs recently, i'll back you up, jane's song, and recently being repeated a couple of times, and that it may be a tape from fall '91. well, turns out you may have a copy of dave's first efforts in the studio. does recently by any chance have some horns dubbed in? ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
I got Shannon Worrell's Three Wishes today.. good stuff.. I like dave, tim & leroi on there.. Recipients of List" or whatever it is...? that seems awful impersonal. If any of you 11/9 tapers would be willing to seed, I'd be willing to run a tree.. there was mega grovelling for that, incl me. :) the same songs, but I might have sounded a bit harsh. there were many other things that HAD changed to make it a completely different and wonderful experience, and the dmb is still the dmb...

I just got the postal newsletter and it said they're going to be in Atlanta on Dec 27. Does anyone know which venue they'll be playing at. My guess is the masquerade music park, since that's where they played last time, but it'll prob. be to cold to have an outside show. Maybe Centerstage, or the Roxy, or The Variety Playhouse. Does anyone know how much tix will be and if you can phone order them (thru ticket-bastard or 1 800 594 TIXX)?????? If you can answer any of these, please let me know!!!! Thanks, alex P.S.

I saw the Knoxville show last night and loved it. This was my first Dave show where he headlined (I saw him play at SuperJam IV and HORDE), so it's not like I had anything to compare it with. Rusted Root was pretty impressive also. I wasn't in the right state of mind to pay them the attention they deserved when I caught HORDE in Knoxville. On the drive up from here (Atlanta), my friend popped in an RR CD, and I immediately wished I had listened up on them earlier so I could of known their material. I thought Dave looked a little on the haggard side; I understand he's been sick. Still, his vocals sounded good to me (I did notice where he didn't sing a really high passage on one song). I thought One Sweet World dragged a little, but my friend who taped it said it was more of a mellow take on the song that they chose to do instead of a tempo problem. I was expecting Christmas Song and was excited when Dave took the stage alone, but the song was quiet enough where I could hear all the children chattering around me. They were content having heard their two songs (everyone probably knows which ones I'm talking about) and wouldn't indulge me by shutting up while Dave sang solo with his acoustic. In fact, one guy standing behind me tapped me on the shoulder several times to tell me "nice execution". I knew it was a nice execution, except this SOB was pissing me off, which made the song less enjoyable. Anyhow, DMB WAS GREAT OVERALL. I knew I should of written Carter in for Senator instead of myself (well, if would of if he was from Georgia).Top Permalink
Hello all, First of all, Scott Miller awhile back asked about Boyd getting married. I will share what I know (which, not surprisingly, is minimal) I think it was a show that I saw the summer of '92, tuesday at Trax as usual. At that time I was going for the most part to see Boyd, after enjoying the Boyd Tinsley Band and Down Boy Down, and had not yet come to worship Dave as I do now. Anyway, I was very disappointed to learn that he wasn't going to be there as he was getting married. I am not altogether certain he was even a regular member of the band come to think of it (though perhaps he had just started) Regardless throughout the night Dave made references to what exactly Boyd was doing at that very moment. I am not certain what his euphamisms were but you get the point. Anyway, just thought I would share the memory. Anyone out there remember the show perchance? (or even better, have a tape!?) that we come up with a name for ourselves. I got several responses and if anyone still has any idea please pass them along to me (gap3s@faraday.clas.virgina.edu) and maybe we can come to a consensus. What do you need to ratify something on the net? 2/3? Anyway, I would love anyone's ideas, anything but daveheads. If I get a few more, perhaps I will post all the ideas, if there is interest. shows? Especially any details about the show in Atlanta that was just mentioned. It would be greatly appreciated. for now. Thanks for your patience, GregTop Permalink
Davedom with a few particular tunes on them. does anyone out there have anything with Dave's cover of Tangerine on it? I'm also looking for Drive-in-drive-out. If you have both of these on one tape or just one of the two, please let me know. I'd love to trade up. I'll crank out a copy of any of the shows from Nantucket this August (nice, low gen sound quality of kick-ass shows), NYE from last year, the show they took the recordings of Watchtower and Halloween on Recently from (I think it's 2-22-94) or anything else I've got access to. I hope someone can help me out.Top Permalink

Reading recent posts about boyd's marriage, I thought of my first dave experience and thought of a few questions... I had the pleasure of seeing dave for the first time in October of 91 when I went to visit UVa as a perspective. They played at the same ampitheatre and it was a post-grad party, so us under 21 year olds had to sit on the little wall/railing and watch (for free :-) They played on a crappy little PA (each speaker, only 2, were about 1.5X2.5 ft). I have no idea what they played but Watchtower, because I remember my friend telling me they did a stellar cover of it before the show. When we got there, he was psyched because the Saxophonist and violinist (ie Leroi and Boyd) had joined him, which didn't always happed he said. Anyways, to cut to the chase... Anyone know more info about when Leroi/Boyd became permanent and anyone got any pre-leroi boyd tapes or any 91/early 92... Anyone got any other stories on ancient dave??? Kud I have Ben an e 1 other than me....

everything tour dates posted on this list included them playing with DMB on Dec. 1 in Santa Cruz and Dec. 4 in San Francisco, but the DMB tour have not even mentioned the possibility of these shows (the dates aren't even set off as tentative). I already have my tickets for their shows with Phish on the 2nd and 3rd, but I really want to see them headline, with Dave in concert). Plus, my idea of a dream come true would be a four-day weekend seeing DMB every night in small venues amongst people who don't know the band very well... So, if you know absolutely ANYTHING about these shows, please, PlEaSe, PLEASE let me know!Top Permalink
This obviously is the wrong group for this, but I really want tapes of the phish shows from boone and charlottesville.

Hey. Just thought I'd provide a touch-up of those Angel From Montgomery lyrics posted here recently... the verses are more like... I am an old woman, named after my mother My old man's another, child that's grown old If dreams were thunder, lightning desire This old house would've burned down, a long time ago chorus When I was a young girl, I had me a cowboy He wa'nt much to look at, just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time, and no matter how I try These old dreams seem to go by, like a broken-down dam chorus Flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em a-buzzin Lord I ain't done nothin, since I woke up today How the hell can a person, go to work in the morning Come home in the evening and have nothin' to say. chorusTop Permalink

This is for all to hear, but in particular goes out to whomever it was (dan b, I think) who warned us about the no smoking decree for last friday's show at Wait Chapel. I can understand the worries of the anal wake forest people about smoking and anarchy, especially in light of the Widespread Panic scene (which i thought was great). But,,,,,, I can't fathom that $80,000 in damage was inflicted upon the Chapel after Widespread. I can see some burn holes in the carpet maybe, or a mess in the bathrooms, but, EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!??? I'd like to know where (you) got this figure and specifically what damage was done. From what I saw there weren't any big prob's w/ the widespread show and the stringency at dave's show was an overreaction - but maybe I'm wrong. enlighten me. curious. BrianTop Permalink
I've heard that dave does some pretty kickin' R.E.M. covers - has anyone actually heard any of these or have them on tape (the tip comes from a friend of mine at UVa who used to go watch him at Trax on a regular basis in his early days) If so I'd really like to trade for some. sean ps - I just heard Ants on the radio - this scares me.Top Permalink

Hadn't seen any posts as of yet about the Indianapolis show last night at the Vogue Theater, so I thought I'd add my .02. Maybe there weren't any posts because there weren't any netters there, but who knows. First of all, Dave is really sick!!!! I envy the F**k out of the guy for even playing a show in his condition. It took him until Jimi Thing (about 1.3 hours into the show) to start moving around like he usually does, and even then, it was pretty restrained. The others in the band helped pick up the slack, especially Stephan and Leroi. BOyd played pretty well too. Highlights were Jimi Thing (about 13 minutes) and the Minarets encore with Rusted Root. There were 11 people on stage for this encore!!! They really jammed this tune hard. The crowd at the show was extremely better than the last time I saw them in CHicago on 10/28. Maybe that was becasue this place was over 21 only (not that there aren't some very cool DMB fans underage, but...). The Vogue Theater where they played was really cool and intimate, but beers were too pricey at 2.50 for a can of freaking Miller Lite, but I was driving, so that didn't matter too much. Really cool area that the theater was in, with lots of cool bars and pool halls. Rusted Root was really good as always, and Boyd came out to jam with them for a song (I can't remember which one). Like I said, Dave is really sick, and this affected the show, which was still awesome. He needs the 3 days of rest he SHOULD be getting before his next show. Later on, SteveTop Permalink

Jennie, so here is my reply to your message via minaret net. Now everyone will know my shocking personal bio below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Jen, is about two hours south of Atlanta. I have a lot of family up here in Hotlanta, (my mother grew up for the most part here) so it's like my second hometown. I don't know anything yet about a Decmber 27th show, I've only read rumors on the net. If such a show does occur, I'll do anything to get tickets. I would love to meet you if this show does happen. The 27th is my parents 25th anniversary, so maybe I'll bring them to DMB (well, I'm not completely serious, but it would be a unique anniversary celebration). high-school there. Do you know Michael Jarrett, Diane O'Brian, Dan Hunter, Chandler Collins, Matt Koren, Andrew Nix, or Chris Cairnes? Just curious.....(I don't know Andrew, but I know his mother). they play Dec. 27, I think this will be the best X-mas break ever!!! Thanks for getting in touch. Talk to you later.Top Permalink

What we have here kiddies is called flame bait. I'm going to assume he's being serious, and respond this time... I just saw the Dave Matthews Band in Knoxville, and i hate to say that they just were not that good. If you're basing your opinion of the dave matthews band solely on a show where the guys in the band are sick, I suggest you listen to a tape or two, or to any of their CDs. i have been playing guitar for three years pretty seriously, and have been in a few pretty good bands, and i just dont think dave is that good of a player. he plays in chords that i dont recognize, chords that dont even exist in the books and magazines that i learned from. And obviously, if YOU'VE never seen anyone play a chord, it must be the wrong chord. Rather than trying to recognize the chords first time you listen to a band, why don't you listen to the music? Dave is one of the best rhythm guitar players currently playing, for this very reason. He doesn't stick with the power chords or the folky chords. He's an innovator, playing the music that's in his head. It's not just simple chords out in front. He looks like he's gay, and also on drugs, and boyd and steffan just stand there, this band has no stage presence!!!!!! Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he's been sick for a week and been on the road? I know there is no excuse for not giving it your all, but sometimes you have to sympathize. Whats the big deal with them!!!! dave is just a bad impression of cat stevens or van morrison. I just suggest that if you are truly interested in finding out what the deal is with this band, you give them another shot. If not, I'm sure someone else will appreciate the tickets...

//////// I just saw the Dave Matthews Band in Knoxville, and i hate to say that they just were not that good. //////// i respect the fact that not everyone is going to get Dave's music...not everyone likes black licorice, either. ///////// he plays in chords that i dont recognize, chords that dont even exist in the books and magazines that i learned from. ///////// i find it funny that you state your point this way. god help us all if the only musical expression allowed is the kind that is scripted and set out in "how to play the guitar in ten easy lessons" books. come on, how much guitar have you learned by now? are you telling us that you never tried anything different? jimi hendrix broke every rule on the books in the late 60s and i can assure you that no guitar book told him how to do it. have you ever heard of a triad in the third inverted position? if not, then i would guess you missed the first and secon position as well. basically inverted triads are a way of taking the the three notes that make up a chord and moving them through a total of four positions (triad, 1st inversion, 2nd inversion, and third inversion); same three notes, four interesting effects. bob weir of the grateful dead is one of the greatest at this. he takes a song like "fire on the mountain" with a basic rhythm of two chords, and through the creative use of inverted triads, makes the music really come alive. get the 'guitar player's handbook" and look up "triads" in the index. you'll learn a lot. the other thing dave does is alternative tuninings, so he may very well be playing a chord you knopw an love, but has to position his fingers differently to compensate for the varying notes to which the five strings are tuned. again, if you are really into learning guitar, this is an excellent technique to work on. stephen stills is known for this. ///////// He looks like he's gay, ///////// you sound awfully closed minded. since when did the race, religion, gender, sexual oreintation, etc. of any one person reflect on the musical integrity of the group as a whole? do you really care whether a a songwriter is black or white, male or female, gay or straight. i noted that you are dismissing him simply because he "looks" gay. the absurdity and immaturity of this comment amazes me.Top Permalink
ummm, guys, before you get started-- try to remember this is the user FRIENDLY net, ok? no flames please. if someone offers criticism with a supported argument, then by all means debates reign freely. no personal attacks. no questionable objections raised about a member's sexuality. no one talking about anyone's mother. alright children, you may proceed. I just saw the Dave Matthews Band in Knoxville, and i hate to say that they just were not that good. i have been playing guitar for three years pretty seriously, and have been in a few pretty good bands, and i just dont think dave is that good of a player. he plays in chords that i dont recognize, chords that dont even exist in the books and magazines that i learned from. He looks like he's gay, and also on drugs, and boyd and steffan just stand there, this band has no stage presence!!!!!! Whats the big deal with them!!!! dave is just a bad impression of cat stevens or van morrison. and you, music lover, it's probably not a good idea to insult a band on their own net surrounded by their own fans, and NOT OFFER ANY SUPPORT for your argument. just a word of advice from your friendly neighborhood camp counselor. :) "i've never seen the cord, therefore it sucks." does not appear to be a sound argument. "he looks like he's gay, and also on drugs." ummm...what? i'm not confident that you can place a burden of proof on subjective empirical by the way, i LIKE cat stevens and van morrison. :) ummm, den mother, can't you make these people behave? brian.Top Permalink

hi everyone setting minarets mail digest everytime i come on the computer or what am i to do? thank you -so much to say-Top Permalink
to the people who are completely in the know about angel lyrics, i missed the digest where they were originally posted completely. if someone could send me those lyrics in the entirety i can get started adding some covers to the lyrics.file. it was at least 2 months ago when we all agreed that they should be there, and i still haven't gotten around to it, so your help would be appreciated. i have the maker and this will be angel, and if anyone would like to transcribe me & julio, tangerine etc, etc, go right ahead. please, if you do so, and feel like posting, more power to you, but send a copy directly to me. editing digests can be a tedious effort for me, not to mention the fact that by the time i get to the end of a digest i usually forget everything the digest had in it that was particularly 14 other things to say, too....") that kinda looks like one helluva a weird smiley....

In response to I think it was Sir BUford's question about the DMB, RR combo in Indianapolis on Monday night, yea it was incredible. Of the 11 people on stage, if memory serves me right, there were only 4 people that weren't playing percussion instruments. It was pretty much dizzying, the array of sounds being produced. I was in shock of how awesome it sounded. Hmm, do you think I liked it??? Its too bad they didn't join up more often. Did they do it at all during any of the other shows they did together or was it just done since RR won't be performing anymore on this leg of touring with DMB??? Quite lucky I was then to see it, eh??Top Permalink
Sorry to "waste bandwith" if anybody feels it, but what's one more message to 1. Rusted Root will be making their national TV appearance on the Conan O' Brien show on Wednesday night. Yikes. 2. The Samples and Rusted Root will be playing at my gracious institution, Miami of Ohio, on Saturday, December 3, 1994. Tix are only $10.00 and went on sale this morning. It's a big arena, shitty sound, but hey, its close and I don't have to drive 1.5 hours to get back.. Anybody wanting more info email me at sakunz@miavx1.muohio.edu SteveTop Permalink
Friends, For the first time I think we have seen an individual who is actually not brought into the world of happiness by the music-o-DAMABA. This really is a shame. I don't want to slam the individual who basically slammed dave, cause then I'd be portrayed as less of a happy person, and I'll leave it to the dude at sewanee to remain miserable. I can honestly say that I've never before heard ANYONE who actually considered dave to be less than a great musician. Some good buddies of mine from Nashville (who happen to rely on music as their existence) even say that Dave is an excellent musician, and they really aren't even into his music. I dunno, I'm happy with Dave, and I know most of you are, too. So..lets not give this naysayer such a hard time, as a matter of fact, don't give him any time at all...we'll all be happier if were spending less time being negative about him, and more time being positive about Dave...and us.

the other thing dave does is alternative tuninings, so he may very well be Now this has been something I have pondered but never come the the conclusion of. I thougth there might be alternate tunings, but then I figure it was all those funky, killer chords. I've had to tune to different pitched for different tapes, but all are standard tuning. I've never really notice him tune his guitar any differently on stage and I also assume that both his guitars are in the same tune. Maybe I've missed something all these years in my attempts to play every dave tune....
