This is for any DMB fans in the NYC area - A friend and I are planning on renting a car, driving down to DC on the Friday night, seeing the show, and driving back up on Saturday ( a Drive Down, Drive Up kind o' thing :) ). So... if there is anyone who is interested in making a little road trip, meeting some other netters, and seeing the band, we're looking for 2-3 people to come with us and possibly share some of the costs. If you're interested, please drop one of us a line and let us know. Gavin - rhynig@aron01.jany.gs.com Marianne - mfb14@columbia.edu Peace GavinTop Permalink
When does his new album come out, and does any one know whats on it. Thanks Clarke alright, so he fell asleep in bed with a lit cigarette in his hand. let's be easy on him. maybe they don't sell under the table and dreaming where he's from, so i don't want to see any "where have you been for the last two months" posts. and no, i'm not chastising him. i'm actually chastising all of you who are just dying to captialize on this opportunity to flame, because we all saw what happened to carly. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
and there's a little paragraph about groups who've been on the two discs and what they're doing now. It says that Vertical Horizon has an album coming out in Janurary and Carter plays the drums on it. Where do they get the time?!!Top Permalink
Do you know what I really can't stand about UTTAD? It's the empty tracks leading up to #34. - Mike I thought that nameing the track #34 for the song 34 was totally cool. I noticed in my car deck and thought that the deck was screwing up (it does, often). When I realised what was going on I thought that it was a clever, creative use of technology.

Are we not taking this taping thing a little far? Getting hot Dave tapes form the board or otherwise is not a right we have, it is a privelege. Stealth taping is not a thing that should be done at a show, that's how we lose the privelege to get ANY tapes. And i don't think any of us want that. I would immagine someone close to the band or management reads minatets occasionally, what would they think if they see all this stealth taping stuff? Of course I would LOVE to get a copy of this show, and as long as we don't abuse our privelege to tapes I think we will get one. Peace & Out... Japhy ah ha ha... i chuckle kind sir. i must be one of whom you speak of in the above paragraph. yes.. management does have access to this net. and yes, people close to the band have access to this net (identities so.. that means.. that they are reading all this stuff and sitting back and laughing at the 'stealth taping' jokes that we have posted. HARK!! what was that word i just used... could it be? 'joke'? why yes! it was... i did not try to lead myself on a strayed path..... i did say 'joke'. (do you really think i'd put a pair of mic's down the top of my strapless formal? you surely jest. do you really think i'd allow myself to be seen with buford if he had this huge bulge in his pants? (the DAT being the bulge, i mean.. now now. you dirty minded-kiddies. slap slap on the wrists.) anyway.. the point of this all is that we are being jubilant and fun by thinking up creative ideas to tape the show. this doesn't mean we're actually planning on doing that very thing. besides... if we WERE (sly look on clare's face....) why would we tell you all our undercover methods in public in such a way as this forum? never underestimate the power of a woman. what? did you say clutchbag/DAT, pearl necklace mics? what? is that what you said? cigarettes/tapedeck, tube-of-lipstick/mics? what? i must have heard you all wrong.. must've...[wink] [deep bellowing laughter......] the spooning will most certainly resume after exams. we all deserve lots of cuddles and warmth from those we love... *spoon* *spoon* *spoon* [the chants arise from the bowels of the earth] clare 'undercover' emily kev-q... smoking is most certainly expected of you in my messages. ******************************************************************************* 'the ocean doesn't want me today, but i'll be back tomorrow to play. i'll go in up to here, it can't possibly hurt. all they will find is my beer and my shirt. *******************************************************************************Top Permalink
Hey, a little more than a few, to get the headphones. If anyone out there has any that they aren't gonna use, I'd be willing to make you some tapes or whatever. I've got a whole bunch of Dave, Allmans, Hatters, Phish, ARU, etc. Write me if interested. Neal icculus@student.umass.eduTop Permalink

disappointment in DMB making a video. What's the big deal? You people have to stop thinking that all of your music "heroes" are in the business for anything but money. DMB is no exception. Personally, I have never bought a CD from a band other than Dave Matthew's that had an additional insert hawking merchandise with the band logo on it. Why does it surprise you that Dave wants to get popular and go for the big money? I don't really see anything wrong with it. No more wrong than Eddie Vedder pretending to be so upset at being popular. If he hates it so much then why doesn't he quit? Also, I don't get the anger (though hidden) at the band becoming so popular. What makes you any better than any other fan that was not lucky enough to hear the DMB when their career was just beginning? It seems that you who are so weary of greed are guilty of it yourselves. Anyway, I suppose that I will not be very popular from now on.Top Permalink
Queen Jenny and I are once again on the hunt to see a few DMB shows seeing as we haven't seen him in almost a month...Could someone tell me if there are any shows between Jan 4 and 14th...Any help would be greatly welcomed - It's kinda a christmas thing. sean ps - we may try our hand at Blue Water in the coming weeks - and my band is making a small quasi-demo mix, mostly live stuff, but if any of you might like a copy to apise me, mail either me or Cory Rayborn (car3@acpub.duke.edu) and we will work something out. No charge, but trades would be great!Top Permalink
how do i recieve this fun stuff, and can i interact with y'all and recieve the messages as they come in? phish archives goes through brown u and i don't have a pw or login there, so what's the deal?Top Permalink
Dear Minarets, and Tim show from this past August at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. I'm not sure of the exact day of the show, but this was my sister's first time seeing Dave (in any form) and it led to her current Dave addiction. I'd love to be able to present that tape to her with the ticket I got her for 12/30 for x-mas if it's humanly possible. If anybody out there has a tape of it and could help me out (even if it would be after the holidays), that would be truly amazing. I've only got 10 Dave tapes to offer as trades, but I've also got about 100 hours of Phish (including Richmond from this summer, both Patriot Center shows {very HQ}, and Halloween.) I would also be willing to send blanks and return postage. Any help would be quite appreciated. ******************************************************************** * "Let's See IT, Page!!!" -Ben Boyer * Aaron Paul Baraff * * "See What?" -Page McConnell 4/23/93 * Macalester College * * * * * * 1600 Grand Avenue * * "Whoops.

I'm kind of getting tired of reading all of your messages about your disappointment in DMB making a video. What's the big deal? You people I'm not upset he made a video, I just hope its not ungodly overplayed. Eitehr way, if it gets people to like him and stay hooked, all the better. have to stop thinking that all of your music "heroes" are in the business for anything but money. DMB is no exception. Personally, I have never I dont think they started for the money, obviously because it took them so long to make it. They enjoy playing, or they wouldnt tour nonstop. Peter left because he was unhappy, not broke. bought a CD from a band other than Dave Matthew's that had an additional insert hawking merchandise with the band logo on it. Good point but...look at all the Dead merchadise they sell, people make businesses out of it. The dead dont need the ca$h, but they know the fans with think its cool shit. Like the tobaggan hat, it rocks... get popular this doesn't Sounds like he's playing the lotto or something (no whammy, no whammy) with it. No more wrong than Eddie Vedder pretending to be so upset at being popular. If he hates it so much then why doesn't he quit? I wont touch this, this could start big wars... What makes you any better than any other fan that was not lucky enough to hear the DMB when their career was just beginning? It seems that you who we're dont think we're better, just lucky, and we get reminiscent at times. I would still much rather catch dave at flood zone for five bucks every wednesday nite and get killer tapes each time. I know its never gonna happen again, I just like to reminisce. I'm happy alot of people like him, at least now when I say "Carter is the shit!" my friends know what I am talking about. are so weary of greed are guilty of it yourselves. Im not weary of greed, i admit i have it. Yes I want a DAT, yes a want a sweet car, yes I want bose speakers.... I just dont want greed to change the music...and I don't think Dave will let it... that I will not be very popular from now on. We'll forget who wrote in in a few weeks if not sooner. everyone has the right to express their opinions... *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Chris "Boofy" Buford '96 | |cbuford@liberty.wlu.edu P.O.Box 322 | |Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va. 24450 | | | |v4.2 | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*Top Permalink
On the subject of commercialization... previously familiar with the band) who had just bought the new disk. As it turns out, he was extremely turned off by the inclusion of the merchandise catalog. This made a big impact on the way he viewed their music, and is not really suprising considering it is their first big-label release. someone, but you have to admit that he did have a point... Just a thought.Top Permalink
it's 11:20. and i'm tired. i'm tired of being awake, so i should probably be asleep. but that's beside the point. what point? big egg. and i'm tired of people being tired. i'm tired of talking and told to stop talking and talk talk. discussion is the long word. open is the key word. and anastasiosososososososos is the key name. he is the keymaster, whoever he is. you know, it's a bad thing to be this tired when you plan on staying up until 6am playing dave matthews for anyone who wants to listen. granted, you have to live in harrisonburg to listen. but if you do, then listen. it should be fun. i found lots of neat dave talk. i'm not tired of dave talk. just talking. call me if you feel inclined. 568-3425. i'll be on from about 12:30 until 6am. and i'll be tired. and also, taping valentine's day won't be a problem. i've already got copies. let's tree them. maybe bush them. or just a creeping vine all over the net that holds them up. they be hot copies, too. hot potatoes. tomatoes. grottoes. grow toenails. nails. i'm tired.... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________ "and he's got a patch on his butt" \ stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.eduTop Permalink
ok----- most of you know the story. ,,,,,,,,,for those of you that don't ---- not too confusing, huh? so here's rest of the story, just in case you forgot, or didn't know in the first place, or whatever. boofy is going to do this after break, but since he already okayed a tree of it, I am going to try to get a head start on the forms, since I know there will be a lot of em. if you don't want to fuck with this now, then dont-- it will be posted a couple of times after the break. I'll do it more than once since I don't know when everyone comes back from break, and we don't want anyone to miss out on it. I don't know (at this time) how many tapes or what kind or anything else because the tape(s) is/are not in existance yet. So we'll just have to hope that he doesn't get bored over break and fill up 75 tapes, rendering all of us penniless for the semester........ as for the form, it is a basic one (well, basic enough, anyway). just cut it out or copy it, or whatever, and send it to me koliver1@ua1vm.ua.edu . Now, obviously, for a tree with all of dave's rareties, many people will be interested. So, one big thing I ask of all of you, is that you don't post the forms to minarets. That would be incredibly irritating. If you have some sort of problem with my address, then reply to this message, but I would prefer if you cut the form out. for those who offered help (dusty, kev, doug, greg, and everyone else) I will oh, and also -- indicate whether you want this tape on metal tapes or not -- or whatever you want to give him, for making this tape. As he said, he will try to cover all the bases, which will undoubtedly take a lot of effort. But So thank him in your head, or write him a nice post card, or pat him on the head, or something. dont flood his box, just because I said to say thanks. =========================================================================== if branch -- how many copies are you willing to spin?: ===================================================================== for the # of tapes willing to spin, give me a range, since we don't know how many tapes it will be, yet. I will post the results of the poll as well. any questions or whatever and all forms to koliver1@ua1vm.ua.edu ok......go "please do not change colour whileTop Permalink
there will be a minarets net gathering before the show at Bender at 7:00 at the will call, some people are bringing tapes to trade, sell, give away so do what you have to do. clare (undercover) emily may be there with a DAT deck in her strapless dress, so everyone be on the lookout for that!

So we'll just have to hope that he doesn't get bored over break and fill up 75 tapes, rendering all of us penniless for the semester........ as for the form, it is a basic one Here's my current plan. After rounding off my collection of about 50 tapes I and listend to lots of them during exams, I realized that this is gonna be more than one tape, but not 75...hehe I want to compile a rarities and best of kinda tape. So while One Sweet World might not be rare, I will put my fav old version with peter on this tape. Also I am planning to have duplicate versions of songs. The 1)drive in, drive out is so rare i feel compelled to put a solo and band version on this tape. 2)the gnarly warehouse jam from election nite and the funky intro warehouse from 7-14-93 are both one of a kind. 3)phish/dmb watchtower ...nuff said, but you have to hear 10-27-92 with dave talking and singing about dope in amsterdam 4)you get the point, i dont want to give away everything... oh yeah, there will be an Ants on this, its a beautiful version... Be forewarned. the quality will have its large variations. My 4th gen one of a kind version of #34 will not sound as clear as my master of Granny, but hey, its worth it. Some sacrifices have to be made. I plan to use Maxell XL II 's. I like em, and I can charge em home...(shh dont tell my parents) I will also use my ungodly computer talents to type up a tape cover on microsoft word, listing each date and venue and maybe a reason why I put it on the tape (in small font). I will xerox a bunch to send to keith with his tapes. I'm assuming as you all tree, you can xerox also. I dont want this to end up being labled as some random incredible show in a year or something (i also want my name to pop up in everyones tape case hehe :-)) awww i feel so good now... Money and New Year's tickets can be sent to below address hehehe Anyone wanna take me to Atlanta from Richmond on dec 26 to see DMB and my girlfriend on the 27th... :-) puuleeeeze!!! *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* |Chris "Boofy" Buford '96 | |cbuford@liberty.wlu.edu P.O.Box 322 | |Washington and Lee University Lexington, Va. 24450 | | | |v4.2 | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*Top Permalink

wants it on dat, then cool -- indicate that too. or whatever you want to give him, for making this tape. As he said, he will try to cover all the bases, which will undoubtedly take a lot of effort. But no. you must bow down in reverence, after all, he is the only net knight as of so far. therefore he is more or less queen (but he still owes defference to clare). 4:21 am and still going strong. hee hee. and a damn fun one, too.............. oooooooh, look at the pretty colors.... ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

I find it highly unlikely that this post circulating about north.pole.org and SUN Microsystems has any truth to it. I checked with the InterNIC Registration Services and found that the following domain names are *not registered*: north.pole.net north.pole.com north.pole.org DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT spam this site with copies of your emails, believing that some company is going to magically aid the homeless or some other such B.S. If you cram Santa's mailbox with worthless junk, he won't be able to answer children's email, which is the purpose of the service. There's only so much time between now and Christmas, you know. Think twice before believing "too good to be true" postings. Well, it's too bad we have to doubt tidings of good news like this. Fortunately, I don't think we do. I have mailed santa@north.pole.org and elves@north.pole.org and have received automated responses from them. Also, I remember reading in the washington post (they usually have fairly true stuff..) that companies would donate $0.10 every time a ... ok, I just waded through 2 weeks of style sections (don't even ask why we have 2 weeks of papers lying around.. at least they're in a stack. :) Thursday, December 8. According to the article, them Sun Microsystems and Friedman, Billings, Ramsey, & Co of Arlington) have user accesses one of these pages, the charity receives a donation of 10 cents." It doesn't mention mailing santa@north.pole.org, but I _assume_, given the article and the automated responses I have received, that sending a message will give the same results.. so, I say cram their mailboxes and maybe they'll feed the homeless or "some other such B.S."...

For those DMB fans who will be in DC for Dave at AU but didn't get DMB NYE tickets, Blue Miracle is playing at the Bayou on NYE and I can promise you a great time, if you decide to check them out. They are an incredible band and you won't be able to stop dancing. The band is comprised of a percussion section, lead, rhythm and bass, with a horn section. klongTop Permalink
O.K., since everyone seems to think that a video, good or bad, will shoot him into the big time, I should let you know that local bands (at least one) down here are already doing covers of Dave's songs. Imagine my suprise last Friday night when I walked into a local bar (30-something crowd type place) to see a band that one of my friend's brother plays in. Whew, that's hard to get out. Any way, this cover band (Live Bait, they're actually pretty good) was playing along--little Blues Trav., little Dead, little Band, but mostly "classic rock"--and suddenly I hear the oh so familiar beginning of WWYS?. Small town, small bar, small time band, DMB cover. IMHO if a band can get covered in a small hick town in a 30-something bar, that is a bigger indicator of potential stardom than eMpTy-Vee. Please keep in mind that Farm-Vegas is not your typical college town so bands here don't play music catering to the college crowd. Anyway, exams suck and I need all the luck I can get. Luckily I have 5 new shows (thanks Che!) to get me through exams. "I haven't showered today" I'm running out of cigarettes and the bookstores closed, film at eleven.Top Permalink
Ok, well, I assumed, and one should never assume. Mailing santa@north.pole.net won't do much except get you an automated response.. And no, it won't cause companies to donate anything to anyone. If you have a web browser (lynx, mosaic, netscape), though, I would cause companies to donate some bucks. I apologize if anyone spent their time mailing santa, the elves, and even rudolph in the hopes it would do some good like I did. take care, brett --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brett Kingswell bmking@mail.wm.eduTop Permalink

small bar, small time band, DMB cover. IMHO if a band can get covered in a small hick town in a 30-something bar, that is a bigger indicator of potential stardom than eMpTy-Vee. no, i just think it proves that dmb plays good music that other people want to pay homage to. did you know that phish's ya mar isn't phish's? i didn't learn that until i'd seen them play the song 3 times. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
Hey! If anybody was at the daveshow last new year's eve....what was the name of the Johnny Clegg cover they did? And does anybody know if Dave knows and/or has ever recorded anything with this So. African performer? If you've never heard them, check out anything by Johnny Clegg and Savuca (sp?). excellent. later...steve the only cover they did last nye was watchtower (believe it or not, it was a nice surprise. they hadn't done it in about 6 months or something like that). no johnny clegg covers in that setlist. in fact, nothing really exciting at all in that setlist. if i can remember to, i'll post the setlist from last nye before i leave. you were there, cha, weren't you? they didn't do no clegg covers, did they? ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
i just got a little thingy from the guy who asked when dave's new cd was coming out. seems he's caught some sort of word that a bootleg cd might appear on the seen. regardless of whether i interpreted what he said right or not, DO NOT PAY MONEY FOR A BOOTLEG CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you do, we will see the tapers priveleges we've enjoyed so much over the past 3 years yanked faster than my wisdom teeth. we will know well ahead of time if another genuine dave cd is going to be floating our way, so if you see some strange cd of some random show DON'T PAY THE MONEY FOR IT!!!!!!! ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen. rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each. jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, theUlysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems pounds of force.

Johnny Clegg and Savuka is an awesome South African band that everyone should check out. Johnny Clegg has been called the "South African Bruce SPringsteen," and has used his widespread popularity in the coutnry for political goals. Many of his songs were protests against apartheid. Has dave ever covered and of his sutff? I was goignt o post one these days that it would be great to hear dmb do "cruel, crazy, beautiful world" or "one (hu)man, one vote."Top Permalink

player. I hadn't listened to it in at least a month, cause I'm busy listening to all these new bagby's I got. Anyway, does anybody else miss the jam at the end with Dave's frenetic but seemingly offbeat solo, which the rest of the band joins? I like Leroi's CD solo enough, but I wonder if we'll ever hear the old way live again... If everybody sent me an e-mail message, the university pays me a dime...

Greetings all! Considering the sheer volume of mail that has been generated regarding this 10 cent donation to children's charities for every piece of email received etc. etc. etc. I thought I would post a few other ideas which will have a much more direct and dramatic impact on some people who 1) Provide one family with a holiday meal. Package an entire meal of non-perishable goods (canned ham, veggies, dry milk, canned fruit, dessert, whatever you can think of), gift wrap it and drop it off at a local food pantry. Cost = about $25 and an hour or so of your time 2) give money to a homeless shelter or children's charity. Cost = whatever you can afford 3) give your time to a homeless shelter, particularly AFTER the holidays. Spend an evening just helping out. It costs you only one evening of your life and your time is ten times more valuable than your money to some of these groups. Ask around 4) collect old clothes and blankets from your house/dorm/neighborhood and give them to a shelter. Cost = a few hours 5) donate toys to a Toys-for-tots program (bins found in most malls nation-wide) 6) give your change to salvation army bell-ringers. & Finally, 7) talk to your family about doing something nice, as a family, for people you don't even know. In my family, at my mom's suggestion, we now only exchange stocking-stuffers and spend the money that would normally go to more expensive presents on holiday meals (see #1 above) for hungry families in our town. Consider this or some similar option. You won't believe how good this makes you feel and how much it means to the recipients of your anonymous goodwill. I have tried very hard to not sound "better-than-thou"-ish. These are all just suggestions on how to help others, since it seems a LOT of people here are interested in doing that. Do with them what you will. this has been posted to multiple net groups, so some uf you will see this more than once. I apologize for the inconvenience. Peace and a joyful season to you all, jerm \ Jeremy C. Graves [jgraves@world.std.com] Cambridge, Massachusetts /Top Permalink
Does anyone know the song "Eiko, Eiko Aye Yay." Well anyways, my friend and I have been talking about it for awhile and decided that it would be extremely cool if Dave sang that song. If you don't remeber it, it goes something like this(to spark your memory). Oh Yea, be careful because this song might get stuck in your head like it has mine for the last week or so. "My grandma and your grandma, sitting by the fire Your grandma says to my grandma, I'm gonna lite your heart on fire, talkin' bout aye now, aye now, aye now, ayenow, Eiko, Eiko Aye Yay......" I can't remember the rest and I don't even know if those are the right lyrics, but you should be able to get the point. I'd love for Dave to cover it, it's a very friendly campfire song that you all have probably had the opportunity to sing at your respective summer camps.Top Permalink

If you've ever been to a dead show, and all the fans clap ion rhythm during the set break, they're clapping the Iko rhythm(although it oculd also be NFA, actually - the two are pretty close).

I saw Johnny Clegg and Savuka in Madrid last November and they were really good. He speaks a lot of different languages and is obviously very intelligent. This semester I picked up their greatest hits album and I must say that it sucks. Some of the songs are too synthesizer-heavy. Once again, the nightmare of a talented band who try to produce their albums too much because the record company tells them to. But I would recommend checking them out live. BenTop Permalink

hey all. the Marriott...or ever...but its not like i have an omniscient view of Dave covers or anything...i am mere mortal stuck in the clothing of the gods....what??!#z4?...i tweek myself out sometimes... anyway, while i was purusing the fragments of me mind last evening i came across two things.... into the flood zone at about 8 o'clock when there was not a soul to be seen, i stumbled upon Dave on stage about to sound check his voice. i scrambled to soundboard to try and get it on tape. i plugged into the board and hark...no signal... Jeff just looked at me and smiled a green smile and seemed to say " forget it kid I'M AT WORK,you'll get your feed soon enuff..." at least thats what his eyes seemed to say. i completely understood and prepared myself to enjoy the moment to the fullest. Dave strummed a couple more chords and proceeded to play "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" by the Beatles...awwwww man, damn wish that deck was rolling...oh well...it was recorded in my mind...so if anyone wants a copy, you'll have to find me in the flesh and i'll sing it to ya'!!! outside and you know what happened...i thought some more...oh well..i first remembered the above story and then remembered this. a long time ago i watched two pine trees in my backyard swaying. they seemed to be hugging and kissing...yea that sounds strange but i've also communicated with a plant(save that story for another time)... sooo i became fascinated with these trees making love before my eyes and to the sky. i then felt a sort of weird watching feeling..an embarrrassed feeling...so i turned away and let them do their leafy stuff...sooo last nite i tried to find those trees...it was hard..then suddenly they appeared from the forrest foreground and they were still going at it...wow trees belittle human lovemaking... anyway these words streamed in my head with the help of the moon...Top Permalink

Hey there everyone- bizillion words y'all use) who I'm helping spin some tapes for a newbie offer he made. We got to talkin' and before I knew it I was on the phone to VA, to order up tix for the BIG SHOW - Yes, we're coming from Burlington, VT. This will be my first show - I've been looking forward to going for about a year and a half now(to a DMB show, of course), and we are excited about meeting all of you who can make it. If we're driving 12+ hours to the show, I'd like to see most of you there. I don't think there are too many tickets left - we're not even sitting together - but I encourage you all to make the effort, if it's feasible. See you soon and have a good day. P.S. I just hope my old (150,000 mile) Volvo makes it there. See ya!Top Permalink

I just thought I'd write and say how glad I am that everyone is so supportive of worthy causes, such as helping out with all of these charitable orginazations. Most people our age are so apathetic about the world around them. Others talk alot but fail to do anything. I just thought I'd send out a big touchy-feely kinda thank you for all the compassion this net is showing. I just hope that it's not restricted to this holiday season, let's do what we can EVERYDAY to help those in need. Oh, by the way, so this isn't totally non-DMB, I think Dave should cover "The Women are Smarter." It's the same (I believe) musical pattern as "Aiko Aiko", but I like the lyrics more. It's another Dead/JGB staple, although it isn't played half as much as "Aiko Aiko." One more thing, if ANYBODY is still out there, could you please *please, please* send me the tab files, I'm leaving tomorrow and I need them for a friend. Thanks a mucho. "It's not me, it's the people who say 'The men are leading the women astray.' I say that the women today are smarter than the man in every way." P.S.-While I'm on the JGB tangent, I'm still looking for the 11/12?/93 show from Hampton, Va. Iwant it, I want it, I want it!!!!!! That was the coolest fucking concert I've ever been to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you :) As always, smoking is the rule D'jour for my messages.Top Permalink

Just a quick one....today after driving back from Ann Arbor realty where I signed my lease for school next year my buddies and I were listening to the radio(a rarity) and I heard a lady singing"Every little thing she does is magic"---the old Police tune, and it sounded very familiar to me but I couldn't quite place the voice right away. Then, as I sipped away on my S.Pellegrino, it came to me that it had a very Nantucket like feeling to me. (Now actually...,this all went through mey head much faster than this message portrays). The coincidences were astounding, the S.Pellegrino(an Italian sparkling water) was served at the restaurant that I worked at and this song was playing!!!So afteer a little shuffling and running the lyrics "almost and angel...." through my head, it came to me that it was none other than Shannon Worrell. Edie Brickel and Margo Timmins(Cowboy Junkies) were going through my head, but it definitly had a Shannon feeling..... now, they never said it on the radio station but I am 100% sure that it was her. So, did anyone out there know that she had been singing this or is it a relatively knew tune. To say the least, it sent a chill down my spine, her voice is strikingly beautiful. Kinda like a girl that you would love to take to a log cabin out in the woods somewhere in the mountains. Hell....maybe that's just a dream. school. This net has been so dead and noone is really friendly right now. Maybe everyone went home...lookin very forward to NYE and the 30th, it should be a very good time that everyone will share stews at. Well, that should be my last post to the whole net for a long time. Possibly about 4 months, you see, overseas is calling my name out. I hope this thing doesnt' change to much, there justight be a lot of new faces. I hope that all the regulars don't get discouraged in writing as much as they used to, it's always good to read comments that you pretty much no the person from there frequency....or do you? Well, is anyone else out there going on that Semester at Seas program, through the University of Pittsburgh. It should be a FINE time, full of stews and new friendly faces. And as emily knowes, there is nothing like meeting a person and then through contact, getting to know that person, it's one of the most fulfiling things in the world. CONTACT.Top Permalink

I forget the name of the artist, but Iko Iko was recorded originally by one of those black all girl bands in the late 50s or maybe early 60s. Here in Santa Cruz every summer we have weekly free concerts on the beach where washed up bands from the 50s and 60s come and play. Davey Jones from the Monkees, Martha Vandrel, The Shirels, Flo and Eddie from the Beach Boys/Zappa, bands like that. The girls that wrote Iko Iko came and played it for us at one of these free shows. -Tom -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Wallace - Director, Distribution Sales 108 Whispering Pines Dr. JSB Corporation Scotts Valley, CA 95066 408-438-8300 ext 209; (in U.S. & Canada) 800-359-3408 FAX 408-438-8360 tomwa@jsbus.comTop Permalink
Hi folks! Interesting to hear Johnny Clegg come up here! I know it does make sense, but so few people in the states have ever heard of Savuka. When I first saw them live in South Africa back in 1987, they were still Jaluka. Yes...they have gotten much more produced and more western influences in their sound...but the soul and ryhthm is *quite* african. Anyway...doubt DMB would cover their stuff because of differing styles. But, who knows? a traditional version of Siyayilanda would be cool, or Asimbonanga even :) -Suzi@teleport.comTop Permalink
can anyone help me obtain the setlist from the power jam? guests included? thanks alot.... just got them in a trade but no setlist was included.... joshTop Permalink
Wow! Just got home (after running like a maniac through the pelting rain) from the band's appearance at Tower Records in Austin. Dave, Boyd, and Stefan played a sweet little set for about 100 people. It was hot and cramped, but the crowd was very respectful (actually, sometimes almost too quiet I think). Dave was baked -- lots of great Davetalk as he babbled on and on about partying with Everything and Little Sister (a really good Austin band). Most of the crowd seemed only to know UTTAD, but were appreciative even when they weren't familiar with a tune. They played without a setlist, doing pretty much whatever the crowd yelled for (but suprisingly, no Ants or Satelite!). so on a whim I shout out, "Drive In, Drive Out"! He kinda smiles and says, "Oh, that one" and without skipping a beat launches into it!! I think I was one of the few in the store who knew it, but it was amazing to hear it. (I talked to him after the show and he said they were definetly bringing it back, but they haven't had a break to work it back up again...we shall see). Nancies, Granny, Two-step, Jimithing, Say Goodbye, Drive In Drive Out, Recently (with the Take me to the River, Norweigian Wood, Some People do/don't intro). It was great to see them after so many months. Even though it wasn't the full band I think they're sounding great. My semester is over and I'm looking forwrd to my three-day roadtrip!!! Gotta go dry off now and get ready for the show tonight. Good luck to those who haven't finished yet. Brett -- I miss you, are you alive?? BethTop Permalink
Hi all! Just returned from tonight's show in Austin. Very solid show, if a little uninspired (with a few flashes of absolute brilliance I think). The crowd wasn't too bad -- most seemed to be UT students, and everyone was pretty well behaved. It was pretty obvious that the band tailored the setlist to appeal to those who only know the CDs -- but everything they played sounded really good, and I talked to a few people who had never even heard of Seek Up Nancies Warehouse Jane Help Myself (good to hear this!) Satelite (with a long teaser intro) Billies Pay For What You Get Rhyme & Reason Jimithing (really long, extended jam -- very cool.) Lover True Reflections (nicely done) Recently -- #36 Ants Christmas Song (very beautiful, but almost ruined by rude crowd noise) Watchtower So the setlist was pretty standard, but even now I still can't get over what a tremendous band they are. Even their most basic show still blows me over! Gotta go sleep now. . .see some of you in Houston tomorrow?? (yawn) BethTop Permalink

not going to rehash this again, and my memory is far from perfect, but I am more inclined to remember music related occurances than what I had for breakfast this morning. Dave not only played a Johnny Clegg song last nye but he even announced it from the stage before he started!! I swear!! The next week I acquired some of his stuff and have been enjoying it ever since. Can anyone out there back me up on this one??Top Permalink
I am very sad to announce that I still have not recieved my seed for the 11/11/94 Wait Chapel show. What does that mean to you? Well in a few hours (5:00am) I will be leaving for a nice fun 30 hour drive home. Since I did not get the tapes yet I don't think I will be able to get them out to you before X-Mass like I said. Sorry 8-(. But I will try to get my mail fowarded and get the tapes out to you ASAP. If you set up a trade with me I promise that I will get your tapes out to you as soon as I can. Sorry about all of this, but things are out of my hands. So I hope everyone enjoys their break and I will have those tapes out to you as soon as I get my hands on them. Peace & Out... Japhy Listen to Phish, walk around and sleep alot.Top Permalink
