I have a few tapes where Dave starts singing something about "sailing" midway through " What would you say?" Does anyone know what song this is and if he still plays it this way? Appreciatively, AdamTop Permalink
I was wondering if anyone out there knew the setlist for DMB at the Bayou in DC last Thanksgiving(or Sat. after), I think it was Nov. 27,1993. That was back when I didn't know the names to any of the songs, although I do remember loving them all. Now I'm just curious as to what I heard. Also, I don't know if there even were tapers, but if anyone has a copy of the show, I'd like to trade, although I don't have much to go on. I just think it would be cool to have a show that I was at. Anyway, I'd really appreciate any info. I guess I'm just getting nostalgic since it's that time of year again. This is my first post... I finally took the big step... KimTop Permalink
I'm considering purchasing a dat deck and was would appreciate it if any one could give me some advice on what to look for and how to go about taping at the shows. thanks kevin kevtad@aolcom "there are hundreds of thousands of different things you can eat that aren't cheese." -Dave MatthewsTop Permalink

Hey Now, uses. It refers to DMB-heads, and those of us on the net would know where the name came from (besides the song title). Maybe we should vote on the name issue one of these days. On another note, could anyone out there help me to obtain any crispy soundboards of any Dave/Tim acoustic show? I have no DMB to trade, but I have plenty of Phish and Grateful Dead. I would really appreciate any assistance. Thanks.Top Permalink

Hey Now, Why don't we just call ourselves "minarets". The name has multiple uses. It refers to DMB-heads, and those of us on the net would know where the name came from (besides the song title). a minaret refers to religious places in the Islamic world.... help me out here brian it was in one of our history movies.... minarets fit cause we aall take dave pretty religiously (sp) to all those who are exspecting tapes from me they arre in the mail... thanks rich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Top Permalink

I'll have to be the 335th person to cast my vote for "Grannies" but this doesn't mean I'm going to stop sending in suggestions by my friend (actually he suggested minarets also, but for a different reason). Let's throw a few more of remember, but I'm sure their were more. Why don't we all call ourselves Dave-come-latelies, that way there won't be any way to distinguish oldies and newbies, it'll be equality at it's finest. Ok, stop booing. Since everybody uses this net to post their favorite non-DMB bands, I'll throw one in. The Gibb Droll Band has been one of my favorites for about three years now. They (Gibb) have an awesome bluesy sound to their originals, and are not afraid to blow the doors off of some blues classics. I can't help but to think that Gibb has to be the greatest LIVING guitar player around, anybody who's ever seen him can back me up. He's also the nicest, most polite person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. If he ever comes your way, even if you hate the blues, you've got to check him out. And don't be afraid to go talk to him before/after the show, he's very receptive and what's more ver GRATEFUL of his fans. He's truelly a class act. After T-giving I'm thinking of enlisting somebody to help tree one of his shows, anyone interested? Well I'm wasting way too much bandwidth (that seems to be a habit with me lately) So I'll Say Goodbye (didja' see what I did there?) and thank you for your support. I'll leave a light on for ya'.

I've been getting heavily into DMB lately, but I'm not crazy about this high-volume wack list. I've tried to unsubscribe three times and I can't get off it.

Just a random request or offer that I'd like to send out. I'm interested in coming up with a new DMB shirt that would be unique to the die-hard minareters. Not to do this out of cockeyness to all the newcomers of the DMB, but its always nice to have some unique memorabilia that distinguishes you from the masses. One of my friends from the UVA art school did an awesome oil painting of Dave at the DEKE house at UVa a while back. I made it into a cool shirt and have a poster of it. If anybody out there would be interested in having a copy of it, drop me a line and we'll work something out. Also, I think it would be cool if we could scrape up that old picture of Dave when his hair was down to his shoulders, and turn it into something. I don't know if anyone saw any of the artwork which was submitted before R2T, but there was also a Picasso-ish painting of the entire band which was absolutely amasing.Don't get me wrong, I don't want to abuse the band's sales market and go on some mass-marketing scheme that would detract from the bands success, but it may be nice to have a unique shirt or something. Anyone that has any suggestions or artwork that could be transformed into a "limited edition" shirt, please post.Once again, this is just a suggestion, and not a plan to create a hierachy amongst fans.Top Permalink
Get yourself something nice this holiday season and give something back to your friends on the net. I am offering a copy of the 11/9/94 Lexington show to as many newbies as I can. All I ask is that whoever gets a copy, please share it with others on and off minarets. I believe it will take 2 tapes so if you have a really good show to trade tell me about it, if not send me blanks. Um...as I said I'll do as many as I can as this is an attempt to keep me busy during the break. I encourage other fellow Grannies out there to do the same. After all this is the season of giving isn't it? :) Anyways send me an e-mail and I'll get back to you telling you what to do next. Thanks for your time :) Scott sfrazier@moose.uvm.edu HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!Top Permalink
Thanks Ben once again for your history. That Trinity show was great it was one of hte tightest sets in recent memory, MInarets-Bluewater, Jimi Thing-Seek Up in the same show. The Bluewater was one of the few played since then, I might even venture to say, I haven't seen it on a setlist since Trinity, correct me if I am wrong(I know you will anyway) The greatest thing about it was, was the fact I had to walk all of 15 yards to get to the show, that may be the shortest. Keep up the history lessons Ben, hopefully people won't read them and this net will be doomed to repeat itself. We would be back to same 40 or so people, wouldn't that be great. SeanTop Permalink

- That would be Peter Griesar, the band's keyboard player for about a year, until he quit and/or the band kicked him out.

Bye bye Peter." -later ====================================================================== Tom Schwenk ====================================================================== nah KICKED OUT is a little an the harsh side, i believe i think it was more of a peacable, amiable relaization that Peter had different goals and such, which made his niche in the band a little uncomfortable .. so on friendly terms he left to persue other prioriteis or something i just know that i have always had the feelingit was very friendly innuways ... as wierd as it sounds i am of the opinion that although the keyboards were groovy , the band has a much more polished sound without it, except peter was excellent for some crazy fun jams soo while i am on the subject, have so crazy fun catherineTop Permalink

Top 10 reasons to give this a listen. by Robert Beverly 10. Fiddler Boyd Tinsley broke up his own succesful group to join the DMB. is this true? mine" but he was playing in both for a time (his was called the Boyd Tinsley Band, another original name) and in fact I believe was only picking up with Dave, but when things picked up, his band sort of faded away and he became a permanent part of our lives. I went to the BTB farewell concert at Trax, and it was very poorly attended. The guitarist from that group was Harry Faulkner, who together with Boyd formed a duet called Down Boy Down to play smaller gigs during the same era. They played every Sunday night at Blue Ridge Brewery and kept the place packed. I last saw Harry at a bar here in town after the Horde concert in Richmond and I was sort of bummed for him, with Boyd moving on and up so fast. He really is a master of the small bar guitar cover gig though, always plays Norwegian Wood for me, and not just a snippet of it like some other bands :)Top Permalink
the 30th and the 31st of this year. I'm going to quickly tell you all on this net, I expect Buford, Clare, Alex, and all you other nuts to be there, that I am going to be there for both of the shows. My good friend and I are driving up to Virginia and staying with a fraternity brother in Vienna. i guess we are all staying at the Marriot on the 31st along with 2000 others, is that correct? Is everyone staying there? Anyways, this is going out to all of you that plan on going there. We are actually leaving on the 26th so that we will catch Widespread out there too. I guess Pad's, the guy from Vienna, brother is snagging us some tickets. How great is this going to be. All of the beer and food you can eat, sounds like it's going to be a fine time. We are planning on stopping at our chapter at UVA, we are all DEKES, that is, if there is anything going on there. If everyone plans on doing something after or before the show, get back to me, it could be the making of a fine plan.Top Permalink
I just wanted to echo the positive statement someone made about God Street Wine. They're very fun live. The music is more straight Rock and Roll than Dave, but what they lack in complexity they usually make up in energy. go see 'em if you get the chance.

Sorry to waste space but, Irving Plaza. She didn't have much nice to say about the rowdy croud(nothing too bad either, though.) I guess many people weren't expecting the mellowness(is that a word?) of the Shannon/Dave&Timm sets? She seemed to think that a lot of people thought the whole band was going to be there. Ah well, just rambling - I'm off to see Shannon/Vertical Horizon/The Grapes/Acoustic Junction - Wish me luck. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Top Permalink

I have their live album entitled Kicking and Screaming. It is really quality and should be available at any store that carries college radio point of interest on this particular recording is that it is 40 minutes long with 5 songs. Song 3 is called "Trilogy". On it, Boyd Tinsley joins the band for this 13 minute song. NICE. Just thought you might like to know and check it out. Later... Paul ChandlerTop Permalink
Paul, Good call on kickin and screamin. If anyone is interested in some real good Allgood, pick up their independantly released Ride The Bee on Meccabitch records. As with most good HORDE bands, they were ruined on their major label debut album Uncommon Goal. For those who don't know Allgood, they were discovered about the same time as DMB. They played together on the HORDE last yeat and Kickin and Screamin proves once again that the only way to truly capture HORDE music is live. Hot and Bothered, StyxTop Permalink

I know that spooning is a baffling concept to many of you out there in minarets land, so I figured the best way to solve the problem is to have a survey.

deck can record a bootleg. All that is needed is a bit bucket, plus the prerequisite namesake, a spoon. As the data-bits fall from waterfall de la Bagby, they are cought in the bit bucket for a short period of time, as they drain out the bottom and into a splitter, and the cereal/serial energy it fed into a digital or analog deck. The "spooned" bits are collected, taken home, and then you take a _diluted_ solution of bit-resin and pure bits. DO NOT bathe in pure bits, you will alternate colors corresponding to a cubic equation which references to the Pantone(r) color matching scheme, in the worst cases, limited to the pastels only. Beware, spooning can be dangerous, so try it alone, so that not too many people will get hurt, and leave a good journal, so that future explorers can have their glory lessened by the fact that you made an independent yet redundant observation.

I believe that the practice of spooning began with the Aborigines when the British began to populate Australia. Not knowing what utensils were for, they had no idea what the silly looking things with the curved end were. Ultimately they decided that they were some sort of sign from the gods. They began to line up all of the spoons that they could find with the sun. The reflection of the light caused the spoons to resonate at their natural frequency when they began to cause the surrounding areas to vibrate. This vibration continues on for many years, passing one time through the Tacoma Narrows, causing the collapse of a bridge. Today, this idea is used for many things, including the baking of pork at its optimal temperature so that it is very hot and wet and also it is used as the voice of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey in some videos, causing those ear-drum shattering notes.

Spooning is an neolithic Japanese ritual which involves the removal of the genitals of the first born male of every family with a long-handled blunt scooping object. The male is then paraded through the city while every female virgin of the tribe pummels him with oversized ladles while chanting "So why would you care to get out of this place?" The male is then returned to his dorm room where he is bound and forced to listen to his comp terminal beep with incoming e-mail while he cannot responDougd. This is the definition I found in my encyclopedia.Top Permalink
Hey all, The T-shirt idea is great! It seems that Dave encourages that kind of stuff. If a Tee is ever made, and if it rocks, then Dave might "steal" it and use it in his catalog.

First, for whoever asked, last NYEve setlist... Set I Satellite, Song that J likes, 1 sweet world, Tripping Billies, Granny, Lie in our Graves, #36, What Would U Say, Set II Ants, Dancing Nancies, Minarets, Jimi THANG!, Seek Up, Pay 4 What U Get, true reflections, Watchtower, recently I haven't listened to all of the show yet, but from what I hear from people there and the first few songs, its nothing incredible. Of course now I have been told by Kyle that I must attend, so who knows, I just need to scrounge up 52.50. Of course I probably won't be able to take advantage of the bar unless I stay at the hotel, which means I need another ton of money, lets start a pool for the Net Room, bring your e-mail address for entry..hehehe Number 2)while Peter's departure, which I hear was caused cuz he got bought a house, made the band tightened up a bit, nothing is more amazing than the previously mentioned 11-17-92 Cry Freedom with just Dave and him. For a good Peter tape, check out 12-2-92 flood Zone. Its got a killer Lover and the old fast One Sweet World. Also a nice minarets-bluewater and Dancing Nancie-Warehouse, which he just recently brought back... 3)T-shirts sound like a KILLER idea. some of the new dave stuff is, well, i'll say it, kinda strange looking. Of course the tobaggan "Stefan style" hat is a must. We could also use this t-shirt as a way of meeting each other. Like "I'll be wearing the netter shirt and the blue hat at the sound board" If we wanted to get really creative, we could have people scan their artwork and send it to the ftp site, if this is possible (ben tanen whats the word) I give it a hearty thumbs up. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |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

oh sorry, wrong computer...... Good to see other Davidsonians on here! The Rush Fanzine recently did a t-shirt idea, and it took off.

This might be a problem though if we have too many people new to the idea of a mailing list, so we could leave out the address if needed. It would help if we determined the name of our fans, like we did bagbies.

Why do all of you insist on coming up with all of these labels for yourselves? I think it is so ridiculous, and one of the main reasons why I started reading more on this net then phish net. Guppies, Groupers, Phishwipes, Satellites, Grannies, Billies, Nancies? What the fuck? I'm sorry, but I've been under this hippie/deadhead label for too long, and I'm not about to give myself one. I love the Dave Matthews Band and it's practically all I listen to simply because his songs seem to apply directly to my life.

Hey guys, and 5 ants per row. The ants would all be cartoon ants that look alike and are marching. You wouldn't be able to tell them apart, kind of like the song, "All the little ants are marching . . . They all do it the same way." a band member. So far I've done the first row and I have the third ant, dancing and playing a guitar. In each of the consecutive 5 rows, an ant would be, for instance, playing the fiddle with his leg up in the air like Boyd when he starts getting into it. You get the idea, it should be sweet. the rest, but he will be smiling and holding an envelope in his left hand, to represent e-mail. Tell me what you think?

Hey y'all, compelled to label ourselves, but I also see nothing wrong with us netters wanting to have a collective name that we can use to identify ourselves. The unity amongst this band's followers is stronger than most, and as long as we come up with our own name and use it voluntarily then there's nothing wrong with it. To the person who wrote about Gen X, that was a title given TO us by the media, it was taken from the title of a book about our generation. It was not something we gave to ourselves.

I've never seen them live so I can't make a judgement about that, but from the very first song on their CD, "Princess Henrietta" (which I thought was not only a terrible first song on a CD, but was a real turn off), I wasn't impressed. I'm returning the CD. Matt ThompsonTop Permalink
i just want to sat that i personally agravated with the Dave Matthews Band because I tried five seperate times to aet up an interview and they kept making promises and dissin me, I hope that the band has not gotten to be for their boots. I have interviewed Dave once buty I wanted to do an album review with quotes and they failed to comee through i hope that things return to normal. There will be a music vidoe for what would you say, MTV watch outTop Permalink
What's up? to wait before we do anything to hear some other ideas. To clarify though, the shirt will hopefully symbolize uniqueness, a desire to be free to do whatever you so desire to do. I am not designing the T-shirt for the sole purpose that the song is so popular. It is meant more as symbol of the band and it's fans. I know all the jerks at the shows love Ants, but they won't be able to get the shirt, and they are symbolized on the shirt as all the little mindless Ants that Get In Line, so whatever the case we need more ideas for T-shirts, and we need more response. So if you like the idea, please e-mail personally so as not to take up bandwith and I will occasionally inform everyone as to how the response is going, but let's hear some other good ideas! Oh yeah and whoever originally inspired me to design the shirt and who was organizing this deal, please email me it's important!!!!!!

Is it true what I just read? A DMB video for "what would you say?"? Can it be possible that our favorite home-town-boy-makes-good will be the next "Buzz Clip"? Well, as long as I don't start seeing stores in the mall selling t-shirts with Dave's face airbrushed on them, I'll be fine. Remember, airbrushing was invented so that Elvis, unicorns, and rainbows would forever hang on the walls of Longwood/Randolph-Macon dorm rooms. (HeHe, I'll hear it for that one) But don't fret, matbe this will serve to enlarge Dave's following, not bring down the quality of his fans. Personally, I'm just curious as to how they'll do this, Concert footage, or cheesy lipsync. Until the next time I feel like putting of work, I remain "When you gonna wake up? When you gonna take some action? When you gonna get "This song's about Patrick's Jimi Thing" For today only, only Clarebear will be allowed to enjoy a tasty Marlboro light in my message.

To the person who wrote about Gen X, that was a title given TO us by the media, it was taken from the title of a book about our generation. It was not something we gave to ourselves. nicknames were bandied about, after which we held a democratic vote on what to call ourselves. But while you're being technical, I might add that at the time the book came out many people (including ones not associated with the evil mainstream media) were decrying the fact that they had no nifty nickname for our generation - the first in over a hundred years to not have one. So some guy decided he'd take the initiative, not unlike some people on this net are doing now, and give our (and his) generation a nickname of his own making. parts of the mainstream media (such as the venerable Rolling Stone and MTV) started blaming the rest of the media for forcing it upon us. But then, these media exist solely because they have managed to convince people that they are not the "establishment" which they so clearly are. seeking out "alternative" news sources, you latched onto what was really the mainstream media in disguise (similar to how Reality Bites was a major studio motion picture pretending to be of and for our generation). How ironic. Once again, I claim that labelling is both distasteful and unnecessary.Top Permalink
Paul, gotten responses to your post on Dave in Rolling Stone already. But just in case you haven't, the issue in question is the newest one with Brad Pitt on the cover. They are #1 on the Alt. charts w/ a picture of the album cover next to it. I hope this helps! Take it easy...Top Permalink

8:30-10:00 the bar serves beer and wine only (+appetizers) and then from 10:00 (actually, it may be 10:30) to 1:30 there will be a full bar! The only thing we don't get is real food, so go crazy on the appetizers. and at shows are getting too commonplace...so many people have that Dancing Nancies t-shirt doesn't seem to have the right connotations. So far all of our options have been song titles (Jimi's, Billies, Nancies)- how about if we look just a bit deeper and pull something from the lyrics. Just a suggestion, I really don't find it necessary to have a collective name- the music and our actions should be enough to define a DMB fan, not a stereotypical name like 'deadheads'. To me, that's what it's all about- freedom/diversity...not grouping. Maybe that's a bit too serious, because the name search is all in good fun, but my $.02 just came out unintentionally. Sorry. Anyway, like I was saying at first, how about some name ideas from the lyrics? anyone Perhaps some of the things we could have been?

about this lable stuff i dont have an opinion on what we should be called if anything at all but i will say that very often i am asked "are you a deadhead?" "are you a phishead" "are you a parrot head?" and i dont know what to respond ..because, sure i would love to take a semester or 2 off and tour the dead and phish and if buffett is in a 3 hour drive, sure ill do my best to be there and dance .. and sure i fly to california to catch the dead there .. and sure ill drive 5 hours to hear dave even though i caught him 2 days before at home and ill drive for lots of other music too but ii hesitate when answering those questions because i feel like the bring to mind a certain image, one of style?? life style? dress style?? that i am not sure i can be comfortably boxed into but if you are meaning to find a name for a fan that is proud of the fact that music brings all sorts of different people together for the sake of having a good time to some groovy tunes ..but not one that has any personality limitationson it..well then ill be proud to say i am one till then , ill be a DREAMER catherineTop Permalink
O.K. this goes out to Dan and allthe rest of the netters out there. Spooning has been a subject on this net ever since I have been a member of it. First and foremost, I have tried to settle the issue a long itme ago by telling everyone what it was but since there are so many more people talking about it now than ever before I will inform you all again. I think it was Clare who started the whole thing, and I would guess she has some kind of idea what it is, but if she didn't and just had heard the phrase, I will again, tell everyone. I had first heard of this word on the Island of Nantucket, and Dave if you are out there, Ross did it with Don and ended up all messy. It was kinda used as much as the word prepping' (that's a word for another time). Anyways, I hope this clears things up with everyone. It isn't really a creative answer but it is correct. I hope that the person giving out that Ziggy's tape(Dan) thinks so too,Top Permalink
in my opinion there should be no additional nickname needed. we're all fans of dave, and we're all on the minarets net, so just leave it at that. "tommorrow, what a day it was." "did they have games at gangster parties."Top Permalink

Am I the only one who thinks GSW is horrible? I've seen them five times, and come away less impressed each time I see them. If you are considering seeing them, I would suggest saving your money. Certainly do not buy their horrible CD ($1.99 Romances). If you need something new, get Rusted Root instead. Well personally I think REM is annoying as hell. But i'm not going around the net saying they suck everytime someone mentions them (which i've seen more of then people talking about GSW). I got into GSW and a lot of other bands through nets like this. So how about we keep it like that if you want to thhrow your opinion in please do so but lets not have all the bull shit we had before with GSW. And lets keep the new bands rolling in (and if you guys could send me addresses for the HORDE address list i'd be appreciative). cya all and have fun matt who's finding he likes this Holy Rollers album more and more every time hee hears it ps for all you radford people I noticed a kid in one of my classes to fay reading a tartan article on the band i haven't had a chance to get a copy though have fun and cya all. pps if any one's going to GSW tommorow night and is willing to pick me up in radford please let me know.Top Permalink
Just the little blip on last weeks 'week in rock' scared me. I got the 'friend of a friend of a friend' story that this person who works at Mtv, and when he asked to get a copy of the show (which was filmed in its entirety) that they showed clips from (somewhere in GA I think) and they laughed at him and asked if he really liked his job...

Hey guys, For T-shirt ideas I am working on a design that has 5 rows of ants and 5 ants per row. The ants would all be cartoon ants that look alike and are marching. You wouldn't be able to tell them apart, kind of like the song, "All the little ants are marching . . . They all do it the same way." But in each row, one of the ants would be going nuts, he would represent a band member. So far I've done the first row and I have the third ant, dancing and playing a guitar. In each of the consecutive 5 rows, an ant would be, for instance, playing the fiddle with his leg up in the air like Boyd when he starts getting into it. You get the idea, it should be sweet. To link the shirt to the net, the last ant is going to look just like all the rest, but he will be smiling and holding an envelope in his left hand, to represent e-mail. Tell me what you think? Scott Miller- Virginia Tech 529 Shanks Hall Blacksburg, VA 24060 sctm@vt.edu "Turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters!" - Dave Matthews Personally, I like the idea a lot, but the envelope idea seems a little bit cheezy (no offense to anyone). Maybe this is because most of us are --DMB fans who just happen to have e-mail-- --e-mail users who just happen to like the DMB-- Do we really need to represent e-mail on the shirt? It could just be a Minarets shirt because only we have access to it. Maybe the last Ant could be just going crazy just dancin' and groovin' (kind of like us). I know that if I were listening to and watching the DMB right now live, I wouldn't be worrying about e-mail.Top Permalink

Thursday, Nov. 17 All Ages DMB - one sweet set, Seek Up Dancing Nancies Warehouse Song Jane Likes Satellite What Would You Say Jimi Thing Cry Freedom Cry Rhyme and Reason Get In Line Typical Situation Tripping Billies Recently #36 Ants Marching ???? - not a clue, cool song though - thought it was the instrumental I've been reading about, but Dave got around to singing - not that I could understand a single word (yea, I like a challenge) Five note riff, group of two, group of three, thats the best description I can give right now Halloween November 18 9:00 AM - 8:00 P.M. one sweet video shoot What Would You Say What Would You Say What Would You Say What Would You Say What Would You Say .. .. . (you get the idea) What Would You Say ??? Another one that I don't know - and haven't heard mentioned, similar groove to #36 lasted about 15 min. But don't have it on tape because they weren't allowing anyone to tape the video shoot. True Reflections (I think dave was really tired of singing) were going to shoot a video, and invited everyone down to play the part of the audience (they recognized our innate acting abilities) A girl up front yells, "No, don't do it!" Dave laughs and points her out - "This girls freaking out over here. I don't want y'all to think we're selling out, it's going to be a live thing, because that's what we do best." So the line forms at 1:00 for a scheduled 3:00 shoot, by 4:15 everyone is freezing to death outside and the line has become a mob (nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd) So they hand out tickets to like 120 people and tell us to come back around 5:00. Actually they start audience footage at about 4:30 and go until 8:00. We dance and dance, even the girl who screamed "Don't do it" was there - if you can't beat'em dance with 'em. The song was tracked about 15 -20 times with the version on the CD. I was under the impression it was going to be a live, in concert type video, but a girl I talked with inside, who claims to be friends with the band (questionable claim, but we did see her walking around with LeRoi) says that they are doing some really ecletic, abstract type of pop-art concept video, of which the live footage would play a small part. She was saying things like painted faces, bizzare lenses, animation, similar to what the talking heads might have pulled out. Evidently they hired a big production team from L.A. to come tape the footage. The truth is, we won't know what it's going to be like until we see it (keep an eye out for the back of my head - it seems destined for fame). Unbelievably, after a full day of playing (well, doing a lot of standing around waiting for lights to be moved, and cameras re-positioned) they still managed to put on a helluva show. November 18, 10:00 set I - continuation of the video shoot with full audience Best of What's Around What Would You Say Satellite Rhyme and Reason Jimi Thing What Would You Say (there may be one other that I'm forgetting, but it wasn't anything earthshaking or rare) set II - Starts with video lighting (very bright, very annoying after being in it all day, switches back to the "nighttime show" from the "kitchen atmosphere" as described by Dave. He was refering to all the flourescent bulbs around the floor of the stage) (I didn't tape tonight or write down the setlist but, here's an idea) Intro- OSW Nancies - Warehouse Say Goodbye #36 Minarets Jane True Reflections Typical Sit. Billies (of course the order is as close to alphabetical as it is to actual) Watchtower Ants I could give more of a description of the video thing and the show, but I'm pooped, and your eyes are probably pooped from reading all my B.S.

I lost the address of whoever this was supposed to go to, so I'm posting it here. I first heard about "spooning" this summer from a friend of mine, although it was something I had practiced before I knew the technical name. Spooning is, I believe, when you lie down (in a bed, on a floor, in a field) with another individual--perhaps opposite sex, but I assume it holds true for the same sex--with the back of their body notched into the front of yours, and once this position is attained, you don't ever want to get up. I'm not sure if this definition has anything to do with DMB, but it's the one I'm familiar with. Steve sreili31@maine.maine.eduTop Permalink
Somehow I acquired a list of all the DMB songs that exist/have been played, although I'm not sure how current it is. Anyway, it would Anti-noise; Drive In, Drive Out; and People, People. Is anyone willing to copy/trade tapes so I can here these? I haven't heard a Dave song yet that I haven't liked, and most of my favorites don't appear on the released stuff.

hey all. This is in response to the ? of who is Anne. i would have rather sent this directly to the person who questioned but i deleted the message because of a momentary lapse in me brainage. anyway, Anne was Dave's sister who lived in South Africa. She died a while ago, can't remember exact month,but it goes without saying that Dave was extremely knocked by this. Dave is way into family and peaceful habitats when he has the chance to actually exist in these psychological regions. so Dave dedicated "the table.." to his sister. it gave me chills when i first opened the album to read the credits and found nothing but a dedication to Anne. i guess Dave believed that thanking anyone else in the "thank you's" section would have detracted from who he really wanted to be remembered through this album...his beautiful sister Anne. Peace. Sailing for the Sun, CHA * * _ It has also been suggested that Anne was killed by her husband leaving two? children orphaned, but I can't confirm this. About the picture, is Dave holding his nephew? And are the others in the picture of any significance?Top Permalink
yes folks anne was his sister and although i hesitate to discuss details about people's private lives in public ... it is true, atleast as closely as i can varify through friends of the band and such .. repeated conversations and the like, ... that it was her husband that shot her and then shot himself and yes it is true that her 2 sons (dave's nephews) were left orphaned and yes they are pictured on UTTAD and ... i have only seen them once at Vanriper's Lake near C-ville last spring, with his sister Jane, where dave dedicated the first songs to them as it was the first time his nephews had heard him play. hmmm ... its cheerier to think of dave the family man than it is to ponder the tragedy, so ill leave you with that catherineTop Permalink

minarants-- i was just relaxin, watching the sunset, thinking about what claire would have to say about medical sociology (you know, to make my medical sociology paper sound more ... lovely), when it hit me -- I cannot recall if anyone has mentioned this, or not, (and if so, then I'm truly sorry for BW) but I finally, after 3 long days (or so) figured out what one little thing bothered me about the ant t-shirt thingy. The thought of little ants, all neatly stacked in rows, with one going "nuts", reminds me just a little of all those little bears, in rows, but with all dancing (and one holding a ____ whatever). It is the similarities in symbolism, that created this thought. Even though, I'm not so sure what the dancing bears were ever supposed to its just different enough to make me think this shirt would be ... nice. So, (for whoever is doing the polling) put a mark in the pro-ant-T column for me; I just couldn't figure out if this idea was in my head, solely, or if once the ants get from out of heads, and on to Ts, if it will be more aesthetically pleasing. Either way, I'll want one (but Ts are a better place for ants, than heads, anyway). keithTop Permalink
last night my friend sean and i went to go see sugar (with magnapop) at the cat's cradle in chapel hill. bob mould can still rock with the best of them in a pretty hard way (there's just something scary about malcolm travis, the drummer, that scares me however...). there were wonderful tunes aboundbut something scared me. that was the fierceness of the pit that started right in front of the pit. it was a pit full of fools who thought that they were in a middle school mosh pit, banging on one another for the sheer point of beating you senseless and even sucker-punching some people. that's just not cool. i hurt so bad after the pit, and my man sean took off his shoe to find a bloody sock thanks to the freaks who can't execute a proper pit. he also got kicked in the face with a doc marten by some guy who didn't know how to crowd surf. fate for dave shows with all of these dave-come-latelies who have come to hear ants. that would not make cory (and probably most of the rest of you) a happy guy. there have been some posts of late comparing some aspects of dave to micheal stipe and i cannot help but to say that these comparisons are very true. for one, their stage actions. this little leg kick that dave sometimes goes into looks so stipean that it is not even funny. we're talking very turn you inside-out-ish here. there is more but i will not waste bandwidth with it. finally, along with my vote for the ant t-shirt, i wish all of you minareters a holly jolly turkey day. just don't eat too much. check you guys in about a week...

Hey y'all, in one weekend (the Best=8A), I've been calling myself a "daver." I thought it was a bit lame, but it came naturally to my lips. I also feel that one need not call oneself ANYTHING, and those who object to any sort of naming (i.e. Granny, Billy, Minaret) should feel free to abstain. But those of us who FEEL A CERTAIN TYPE OF KINSHIP along the net, and want to recognize that (like me), have every right to want a name. I like 'Minarets'; for the same reason I like the 'Under the Table and Dreaming' for an album title. You can BE playing under the table, as the lyrics suggest, or you can be PLAYING UTTAD. The album. Cool. The name 'Minarets' for netters (or all-around davers) lends itself to usages like, "Don't mind the flames, it's just screaming from the Minarets." But I don't think, "I'm a Minaret," works too well. In that case, I'd call myself a 'daver.' I also like the name because it carries that religious tone that we all seem to identify with when it comes to DMB. "I follow Dave Band religiously," or "I worship Dave Band," or "I'm not worthy," etc. We reside in the minarets.net. We visit minarets. We talk to each other over the minarets. And we ARE Minarets. Think about it. Although 'Granny' is one of my favorite songs, I think the name 'Grannies' just doesn't cut it. It not only sounds like we're old, but it also excludes males in that some people (not me, who sometimes logs on as 'Dancing Nancy') cannot (or do not want to) view themselves according to a female pseudonym. Thanks for plowing through my verbosity.

As far as I know, DMB will be playing the Bayou in DC the night before their big bash NYE in Richmond. So if I'm like dead wrong, set me straight. But does anyone know if tickets have gone/will go on sale soon or has it passed already?Top Permalink
a member of the opposite sex, with your back puzzled(the key word) into their front side. Or vise versa, with your front side pussled into their back. I guess it is a uniform pattern of snuggling (although I hate that word) with someone. i realize i'm prolly going to get flamed for posting this publicly instead of relegating in to e-mail, so if you feel inclined to give me a hard time, give _me_ a hard time, not the net. but i feel like what i have to say is important to the overall good kharma that this net holds. anyway, this definition of spooning troubles me. why do we need to include the phrase "hopefully a member of the opposit sex?" this phrase immediately connotes alterior motives, and i really see it hard to deny this. i also see it as completely defeating the purpose of spooning. spooning is platonic, and worrying about the sex of the individuals involved brings in sexual orientation, and if you start worrying about that, you aren't spooning anymore. i'm not trying to jump up and down with my pink triangle and yell "YOU'RE EXCLUDING FREINDS OF MINE!!!!!!!" i'm trying to make sure that spooning is kept at what it's supposed to be, an act of friendship and love, and not a neat new name for foreplay. i can see how comforting it is to spoon with if that's the only thing you are comfortable with, so be it. but let's not define it as such, because it really puts an evil vibe on spooning that doesn't need to be there. oh, and "spooning" is a participle. that makes it a noun. ;) get in line is a GREAT fucking tune. every time i listen to it i realize that there is more to listen to. i've tried to pick it out, and it's giving me more problems than so much to say did. it's so intricate and i'd really have to say mind-boggling. this song has the potential to blossom into the most amazing thing they've put together to date (except for blue water, 11-17-92:) if they treat it right. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
