hmmm.... i guess i don't get it, not being part of "generation x motif", but i was under the impression that minarets is for folks who get off on dmb and share vaguely similar interests...............if that's so, what the hell is this asshole( a thousand pardons; i promised myself i wouldn't flame, but it' not easy) doing here? courtland, i guess you just get off on pissing on other folk's fun. if all this fun we have here pains you so much, just pack your shit and carry your monkeyass outta here!Top Permalink
Well, I hd the unfortuante experience to be away from my account for a mere two days. When I firts strated subscribing to minarets, i got 10-20 messages per day. Boy have we grown. This is my second e mail account. I took me like a month to amass over 300 messages of non discarded mail... In the past two days I received over 275 peices of mail from this group, amazing. interested in taking in the DMB/BHT show for free. Yes that is right free. Love that word. Anyway, USC alswys puts on a free conert in the spring entitled "Cockstock". yes i know its a bit corny, but that's life. Well, rumor has it that this lieup is the leading candidate. The guy who is setting it up is for this show, and is trying to work it ou I guess. Iwill keep everyone updated, and as soon as the good news gets in, we can start planning the big party down here in Columbia!!!! have a good evening.Mark Dicus USC 95 Dave Matthews 12/29/95 "If you can't find the one you love, f*** anything that moves...."Top Permalink

OK, kids, first off, this isn't very DMBesque, but if you like Ed McCain AT ALL, read on. I've only seen him do half a set, and that was when he opened for Hootie(yes, Darius broke his strings about a thousand times and said that he was just gonna shake it off and get fucked up after the show) in Memphis. I was quite impressed with what I did see, though. Anyway, I work/dj at the campus radio station here at MSU(yes, Mississippi) and we're supposed to get his CD in on Monday. Here's the interview with him in a week or two, since I obviously knew a little about him. OH, TWIST MY ARM!! So, it looks like I'll get to do that soon. So, netheads with an interest in Ed, please grace me with your knowledge and give me any suggestions as to what I should ask him. Chances are, if it's a good question, I'll be able to grace you with his answers. Of course, I would have loved to interview DMB at the House of Blues in New Orleans, too, but that sold out before I knew, and RCA ain't big on press passes.Top Permalink
Can anybody help me out with tix for DMB at the Tower in Philly? I am driving over six hours to visit two friends, one of which was supposed to get tix. I have a few High Quality Phish and some dead to trade, plus cash. Thanks. Craig WHinchclif@aol.comTop Permalink

about ed mccain, he HATES people who mosh...... i heard him say that last night to someone, actually, i know i shouldnt say this, but im going to anyway.......and, look, this doesnt need to be discussed anymore, (for all you new subscribers)....we beat this topic to death until it was extremely annoying, last month........but, anyway (and i dont want to hear it benji, and courtney and pak and whoever else this is applicable to, who is cool....i know your cool benny, dont give me shit).....but last week, in tuscaloosa, the crowd SUCKED.....they were screaming and being totally obnoxious......... last night the crowd was extremely cool....and i mean really calm, and very collected....it was an over 21 show.. tuscaloosa's wasnt.........now im not attributing this to anyone except for those who were there, but every single person who was being obnoxious in tusc., had their hand stamped for being underage..... i really dont think this is much of an issue, i was just floored at how cool the crowd was........ but anyway./......... 02.03.95.......Zydeco's in Birmingham, AL (im doing this because i got _a_lot_ of feedback after the tuscaloosa show for doing this) i was like 5 songs late, so thanks to patrick for the help with the setlist!!!!! set i honour among thieves, america is sweet, sorrry to a friend, punish me, kitchen song, 30 pieces, future love of paradice, battlefield set ii welcome to the 90's, life in the storm, ??, solitude, little wing, message to ani* prayer to st peter*, 3 am* dont bring me down, walk on the wild side, the world is running down * edwin solo scott was ON........tj was out of it a little, but ON edwin was ON ON, the horn guy was ON....yanno..... they didnt play quite as long as in tuscaloosa, but they were more tight, and they played more originals..... and the crowd was obviously more familiar with him..... and being much less irritating, thus, (or so he said) more originals.......in tusc, he played five or six covers (albeit very very good) but still covers...... we talked to them all after the show (they all say hi cooper..madden today)......and they were extremely happy the word was being spread...... and about playing aware today.....very excited... and about playing with hootie..."it'll be fun" didnt seem too thrilled about it, but he said, again, he loved getting the exposure, so he was thankful... and also he said he thought they would sound so much better on a bigger sound system....i agree and scott said they would allow taping, even if hootie didnt because that was the way they were.....a lot of people asked me about their taping policies, and im not sure if i answered all the letters......but unlike the current dmb situation, taping edwin is not going to be in jeopardy in the near future.... as long as they can help it...... so i asked edwin how much it really meant to them, yanno, was it worth not getting the kind of deal they want to hold true to their wishes for taping?....he said that not allowing people to tape their shows WAS the kind of deal they dont want.....sooooooo.............. oh.....and tj (drummer) requested that we take the tapes (patrick recorded this one) and mail copies far far away....... i guess i'll do that for the tusc show too..... all really laid back.......nice nice show..... now, ive gotta leave soon if im going to make the 3 hour drive to the aware show on time...... keithTop Permalink
Incidently, the swing thing on the cover of UTTAD kind of LOOKS like a big, round table, if you were sitting underneath it and dreaming. And I thought it was just a pretty picture when I first saw it. Now I begin to see the multiple strata contained within all of DM's work. What a genius. --Tyler Z, one of the cloud people himself. speaking of that table, i noticed last week while reading the liner notes that dave took that picture. usually when the cover is designed with the artists stuff, it's artwork. i think it's cool they actually used a picture dave took. wouldn't it be cool if you were one of the two people on the back cover? ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________ no rick....only you.... \ stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.eduTop Permalink
Beware of MR CLARKE F BROWNE USXE28B@prodigy.com I send Mr Browne a very nice copy of the Sweetbriar show and in return Clarke agrees to send me two BHT shows. Approaching two months now and no BHT tapes...Mr Browne has assured me severals that he is going to mail them...still no tapes. He willn't respond to my em-mail. pat all right, this is the second time in as many months that we've seen this sort of lynching. i don't like. as a person who tends to have problems getting tapes out, and there being a bare minimum of two months for me to actually get them out, i'd hate to see someone lynch me when i'm just trying to spread the wealth. people are busy, particularly with classes and all, and not everyone is cut out for spinning tapes day all have a different pace so let's just be a little patience. two months really isn't that long a time when you think about it (i suppose that's a bit longer. when it hits 6 months, it's time to get upset (but in fact, my record for getting back to someone is 8 months, and the guy was just ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink

Last night (friday) at the Everything show, Ryan (Everything's soundman) told me that Gib Troll's last three shows in Harrisonburg have all been sabotaged by some prick who knows a lot about soundboards. This guy would swithch inputs, unplug monitors, flatten all the EQ's, basically just screw things up in a way that made it very difficult to find. But he would do it after soundcheck, but before the shows started, so the sound \man thinks things are cool and then all hell happens when the show starts. But it was basically isolated to Gibb Troll shows, appeared like whoever was doing had something against Gibb, but Ryan said his last show in Harrisonburg got sabotaged too. So now their's some prick in Harrisonburg that is basically just screwing with shows and they have no clue who it is. So all of you minareters in JMU land might want to look out. Seriously I guess there's nothing you can do, but I just thought you all might be interested. How do you get to Sweetbriar from Tech?

last night i spoke with ambrosia, dmb's publicist and we were talking about rumors and stuff because i'll be interviewing them monday and i told her about this lollapalooza thing and she said "oh pleeeeeease, that's so not true."so sorry if you wanted dave with courtney love, doing a rendition of "tommy" together, but it's not gonna happen. and if it did, i sort of doubt that they'd be mainstage anyway while blur was in the back but maybe i'm just out of the whole thing. tumultuous snow down below, carly cjacobs@smith.smith.eduTop Permalink
Question? just stop playing if it gets real bad until the idiots get their asses kicked to the ground because everyone will realize the music has stopped for the moment? Sorry for the long sentence. Or maybe Dave could just say something to the revelers to make fun of them or something. Just my thoughts from the attic, SteveTop Permalink
a video if he hates both so much? I love Dave and trust him but I think that he is being a little hypocritical by signing then renouncing the label. Maybe someone could help me understand what his intentions are. Also, I have yet to see the Dave video. I keep the tv on mtv hoping to see it so I can formulate my own opinions on what Dave has done. MTV has a commercial that renounces reading and supports television viewing. What a terrible message, what a terrible network.Top Permalink

Amen to Steve for his thought about crowd surfing... I caught the Trinity show last night and to my absolute horror had to deal with crowd surfers...now it is my theory that the people who were doing the crowd surfing were the people who really didn't know anything about the band and were just looking to liven up their evenings..now this is all fine and dandy except that some of us would like to enjoy the show and not have to worry about being clobbered by someone overhead... Was it me or did the Dave portion of the show seem really short? I am not sure of the exact number of songs or the order of songs that Dave played but I do know that he played The Best of What's Around, Seek Up, All Along The Watchtower,Dancing Nancies, The Song That Jane Likes, Tripping Billies, Ants Marching and another song I had never heard of..I must admit i was sort of dissappointed that he didn't play Satellite...I am a fan but I must say that Big Head Todd was sort of lame..But from talking to my RA i learned that the lead singer wasn't really feeling so well..There was also a rumor going around that Dave himself was intoxicated ..hmmm.....I wish i hadn't given up my Orpheum tickets! later on alyssa ****************************************************************************** I remember thinking Alyssa Moskos sometimes we walk Trinity college box 700852 sometimes we run away 300 Summit St. but i know Hartford, Ct no matter how fast we are running 06106-3100 some how we keep some how we keep up with each other ******************************************************************************Top Permalink

Question? If it is agreed that Dave himself hates crowd surfers, why doesn't he just stop playing if it gets real bad until the idiots get their asses kicked to the ground because everyone will realize the music has stopped for the moment? Sorry for the long sentence. Or maybe Dave could just say something exactly... i don't understand... i don't agree with stopping a SONG because that affects EVERYONE... but at lesat between songs.... all i can think of against it is that it would seem like dave was just a complainer...... which would be no fun, but at the same time, if he truly truly madly deeply believes that crowd surfers must die, well he should openly make fun of them at shows. i don't know about you, but if i had just crowd surfed through a typical rockin' lover lay down, and dave promptly after the song went 'if you were one of the crowd surfers during that last one, i just want to let you know that you aren't welcome at our shows...' but then, it isn't really illegal to be an idiot.... if it was, a fucking lot of people would be in jail. rick could be warden!! to the revelers to make fun of them or something.

What's fellas? Thought I'd relay a story of an encounter with Dave my little brother had last Wed. Dave was playing at Lupo's in Prov, RI and my father wouldn't let my little bro, 14 years old, go because he had an exam the next day. So he take my bro instead to Lupo's in the afternoon to get a T-Shirt. As he walked in, Dave was doing his sound check and noticed his U Richmond hat I gave him for X-mas. He called him over and asked if he went to UR. Upon hearing that he did not and finding out that he wasn't going to go to the show, Dave offered to play a song instead. SO what does my bro ask for? ANTS!?!? I was like you moron! Anyway, Dave too thought that was a little lame so he asked again and my lil bro said that his big bro's fave Dave song, being me, is Two Step. So he played that for him. It always happens to the other guy eh? I say Dave for Prez. Also, the first Five newbies with NO DMB boots to e-mail me back with their address will get a boot of their own and the address of the others to trade between them. Whoever started that pattern was right on target. Good luck!Top Permalink

First, K.A. Long commented that the Allmans don't jam. Well I have to strongly disagree, and in fact few bands stretch out as much as they do. The Mpls show I saw on 11/6/94 was 18 songs that lasted 3 full hours. They did not even stop for a set break. They just kept on playing straight through. Two of the songs lasted 45 minutes. Now back when Duane was playing they would rip open a killer 45 minutes of Mountain Jam. This is a band that is not afraid to let it all out. Here is another review of UTAD which I think makes a few NEW interesting remarks. This is from the latest issue of _Unbroken Chain_ and the review is by Michael Bell (a nethead). -------------------------- (typos are mine) "My main complaint with many new bands, including some of the ones I like, is that they are lacking in color. I always find myself saying, "This band would be better if they had a keyboard or sax." With the Dave Matthews Band not only do we get LeRoi Moore on saxophone but Boyd Tinsley on violin as well. Add to that Dave Matthews himself keeps strictly to acoustic guitar, offering some wonderfully refreshing textures that are never heavy. His voice, usually soulful, can range from angelic to a raspy growl. The propulsive drumming of Carter Beauford and supple bass of Stefan Lessard provide a variety of grooves in the finest of funk, jazz and rock traditions. Over these grooves, Matthews' voice, the saxophone and violin, weave a wonderful tapestry of many colors, rhythms, and flavors. This Band is fusion music in the good sense as developed by Miles Davis and his disciples, not the fuzak we are subjected to today. This is fusion as the combination of the best aspects of jazz and rock as well as music from around the world to create something new. It would be easier to list the influences I don't hear. To be brief, Blues Traveler, Mahavishnu Orchestra, the band Oregon, and Sting from his "Dream of the Blue Turtles" days with Branford Marsalis are all present within their work. The most prominent World Music influences come from the Caribbean and South Africa, where Matthews was born. They add some American folk music for good measure. My one main criticism is that they could stretch out a little more harmonically. DMB's new album, "Under The Table and Dreaming", is their first major label release. It's a studio effort, in contrast with their earlier independent releases which were primarily live. As one might guess, the studio work lacks some of the edge and freedom of the live albums, but in exchange we get more polish and balance, which really benefits the finer details of the band. Highlights of the new album include "What Would You Say" featuring the rapid-fire blues harp of Blues Traveler's John Popper. The lilting, waltz-like "Satellite" is one of my favorites from the first album. "Typical Situation" includes a nice flute solo by Moore and "Lover Lay Down" displays Matthews's sweet folk side. "Jimi Thing" and the closing instrumental, #34, feature some very fine sax and violin solo work. Impressively (and coincidentally), "Under the Table and Dreamin" debuted at #34 on the Billboard album chart. Much of those sales are the result of the band's devoted following in the central part of the east cost. I am sure there are many others who have not heard DMB's music that could really get into it. People fascinated with the unplugged trend and many jazz fans should find them very appealing. I recommend the album to anyone looking for something new, fresh, dynamic, and innovative." ------------------------ Later, Eric Doherty "edoherty@macalstr.edu" ********************************************************************** Eric Doherty "Wake up to find out / /( - - Macalester College that you are the eyes of the world" | - | 1600 Grand Ave. -Robert Hunter - - _)/ / St. Paul, MN 55105 (__ __) **********************************************************************Top Permalink
Hello minaretters, It's been quite a while since my last post, but I experienced something last night that compelled me to share it with a host of people who might be interested. Last night here at Georgetown there was an a cappella fest, and I was amazed when I witnessed an a cappella arrangement of Satellite performed before my very eyes. It was done by a group from Columbia called the Kingsmen. I suppose it was just the realization that Dave has reached the level where he is being covered by a cappella groups that kinda shocked me. Kinda neato I guess. Good night. Jamie CogbillTop Permalink

It's Saturday, February 4,1994. I wake up ( I think) and it's snowing heavily. I recall with excitement that today is the day of the DMB show at the Orpheum. It's 2:00 p.m., my normal wake up time. After looking out of the window and laughing at all of the poor people outside struggling in the wind, I get dressed and go watch my school whip some basketball team that was supposed to be better than they were. After the game, I head down to preparty for the show at my friend Rob's house. We're right on schedule, and after we grab a bite and smoke a little of the glorious green, we're stumbling out the door. Skipping ahead a bit, we make it to the orpheum and look for the bus. Either it's not there or it's changed color. We go inside and listen to the Ugly Americans (who I didn't think were too bad) and I'm psyched when he invites us all up on stage to DANCE ( where there is a hell of a lot more dancing space than there is in the seats of the orpheum). Anyway, they go off and there is a break, where Rob and I go to check out the possibility of going backstage after the show. The guy at the back tells me after the show to come back, but that I can leave a message. I take an empty cigarette box and write a short to Leroi, who would be more likely to remember me than the rest of them, and tell them to try and pull "The Maker" ( you have to remember that this may be dream). Along come Mr. Asshole, as we will tern the bully guard who wants no one on "his Turf." We are herded out like brainless cattle. Anyway, BHT come s on and warms up as the show goes on. I can't really give a solid opinion on how they were, because I only know two or three of their songs and those are the ones everyone else knows, which were pklayed at the end. ****Tehn, the moments we've been waiting for... on comes DAMABA...opened with a blistering SEEK UP, extra long. Tehn Dancing, then Warehouse,then here's where the "dream starts to get unpleasant...the Opening chords of OSW are played, which means no intro. NO INTRO!! I had been waiting for the intro, which brought tears to my eyes the last time it was played. To make things more dismal, Satellite followed, complete with the crowd bellowing the words louder tht Dave. An uninspiring Typical and a Recently with Norweigan Wood intro followed. Then *insert new babble song* into a mini Carter jam ( I thought- Carter jam= Halloween, but I thought wrong). This went into #36, WHICH WAS BY FAR not the best one I've heard. I think one thing that took away from my enjoyment was that the crowd was clapping during this song. CLAPPING TO #36? I THINK I'D RATHER CROWD SURFING, OF WHICH THERE WAS NONE. #36 went right into Ants, and it was at this time that I really realized that I was having a nightmare. The guy next to me in my new space( I had moved up about ten rows during #36) starting hitting on me and claaping and singing as much a his body could handle( and more than mine could!!). I knew that the show was almost over because Dave kept thanking us, and also becausethese days, Ants is always played at the end. Sure enough, the band exits, come back on and plays introBillies and then exits even more quickly than the previous time. Tehn, to my absolute horror, THE LIGHTS GO ON. I think to my self that it was a joke. 9 songs? No Davetalk. NONE!! Boyd never went off. Carter never jammed. Stefan was jamming. Leroi was on, but didn't get enough time to show us what he can do. As for my Maker request and my attempt to get backstage, both were obvoiusly denied. Mr. Asshole wouldn't even let me by to talk to the guy at the door. These werre the same guys that I talked to as recently as their November 12 show in Boone(MEEEEMORIES!!). Is it just me, or would anyone else be heartbroken at this setlist? Anyone who had been listening to the band back in 92 when Peter was still around? Back when Spotlight and People,People, among others were played to a crowd of maybe thirty? Sorry, but I'm really bumming. I'm happy for the band, but i feel let down after that show. To cap off my night, I ran into a guy I had had a futile infatuation with lst year, and he said (after having attended what must have been his first show), "Hey Jen. Great concert, huh?" I looked him straight in the face and said,"No, not really. To be honest with you, it was the worst DMB show I think I've ever seen." Shocked at this, my friend said,"You really tought so? How many times have you seen them?" When I replied 25 or 30, his eyes grew big and he was speechless. I sighed and recalled the sight of his two friends in front of us , who were clapping their little hearts out. Any way, I woke up again today with a nasty hangover and the realization that it WAS sunday and that I really had been to this severely uninspiring show. I know this may be the price of fame, but $25 to see 9 songs when having once payed five to see 15 or 20? Someone please inspire me!! I need help. I love this band so much and have for so long, but...NO JIMI THING!!! NO RHYME & REASON? NO you get the picture. My heart is broken. This was undoubtedly the worst setlist I have encountered in my 2 and 1/2+ years of listening to this band. SO... *****as a result, I am officially open for trading... Anyone woth any 92 or 91 especially, please inspire me with a good show trade or two. As for you newbies, being that A, you made it throught this post and B, I am in a bad mood and thus willing to subject myself to misery, I will copy the show of your choice from my ever expanding collection. This is for the first 15 or so people who respond, not including people who wabt to trade . THERE IS A CATCH... newbies must be newbies (i.e. don't tell me you're a newbie if you aren't and you want a show), blanks and postage as always, AND EACH NEWBIE MUST INSPIRE ME WITH AN ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING may includ e more newbies if I get some really good answers. CONGRATS TO ALL WHO MADE IT THROUGH! also, CONGRATS TO JEFF PETERS ON HIS RAVE REVIEW OF GUS, who are from my school. I highly recommend them. I went to see them on Friday, and looking back on it, it was what salvaged my weekend. Tke care everyone, and may all of those of you with future plans to see the band get a MUCH BETTER SETLIST than we at the Opheum got. Jen aka DMB road warrior(or maybe ex-road warrior)Top Permalink
i just got tickets for the 2/26 show in rochester and was wondering if a gathering was in the works. also to the people i said i would write to this past week about trades, sorry hopefully this week. and adam vann... tapes are in the mail tomorrowTop Permalink
both (I know I'm being choosy) Ants and Satellite on it. Or if you can't find that how about a tape where LeRoi jams on the drums, or Bud goes crazy on the mandolin. Can you help me out? Thanks... tallent of DMB to avoid success and commercialization and my only hope is that they pass through MTV like Phish did and still have a successful carrer...But even now they still put on great shows... The key is to make damn sure you go to the Boone NC shows that you know are going to be small and great... In DC, Boston, NY etc. you have to be prepared to suffer a bit... Well, gotta run... P.S.- Still looking for Burlington Vermont show... Someone MUST have it... PLEEEAASSSEE!!Top Permalink
Hey, I am a newbie I guess in your world. I have only been listening about a year and a half. I find it inspiring that a man that wears plaid pants can actually do the things that Dave does. I would like a copy from you of one of their early days shows. Here is my address and I will pay for postage and the tape.Top Permalink
I have spent the last few days searching catalogues and stores for a good tape deck and I can't find one that has everything!!! The JVC's seem to be the best I've found but even on those I can't find one that has dual wells and three separate heads, and the other perks like music search. If anybody has any info on good decks in the $250-350 range, contact me please. I think now I am looking for a more expensive DAT and say screw this anaogue crap. If someone could send me a phone number I can call and get a catalogue of DAT's (Crutchfield doesn't sell them, they suck), I would love you forever! Please help me!!! I think TEAC makes pretty cool DAT's anyone know how I can get some info on them? Actually any brand is ok, I just want to start comparing. is going on. I like the DMB so much because they used to just go nuts up on stage jamming. They played lot's o' music and were full of energy. They play like crazy for 3 years gaining fans and support for their unique music and just when it seem slike they're going to make it big they change their style to this everyday Spin Doctors/place any mainstream band's name here/ crappy 8 songs and off we go. And then in some doumb article Dave says he's pissing off RCA by not playing WWYS, who cares??? Does that change anything? No, he's still playing crappy set's (song and length wise). If Dave hates RCA why sign wiht them? I'm with the Roadwarrior (or maybe ex-Roadwarrior), screw this new crap, I think I'm going back to trading for old tapes! I must say the Symphony Show sounds like the last DMB show I'll be excited to see (regretfully). cry and tell Dave, "What the heck are you thinking??? You're music still kicks butt, but you seem to have turned your back on what you got you here???"

how does one get tickets for the Roanoke College show that Everything is playing Friday? And where the heck is Sweetbriar College? Everything, I just got into them this weekend when they played 2 shows for me. They rocked me hard, they funk it all up. It will make you forget about your Dave Matthews blues. They still play hard, long, energetic shows! I am an addict. That's why I need to see them at Sweetbriar and Roanoke. Does Everything have a listserve? Oh yes, and if anyone knows any chords, espescially for the "Essence of the Problem", I want to play that song, but my weak ear can't seem to pick out the chords. Thank you all and remember to floss!

Hello All- I recently received a bunch of new tapes (Thanks Mav!). As a filler on one, there is a song titled "So Happy". It's a sweet little song, but I had never heard of it before. If anyone out there in minarets land nows anything about this song (when it was played, why it isn't played anymore, why it is never mentioned, etc.) I would be much obliged. Thanks in advance...tomTop Permalink
I think having to work to get a ticket in was quite rewarding... Unfortunately, I didn't hook up with Scott or Kelly (fellow minaret'ers) but did find some *really* nice and cool people who offered me an orchestra ticket for FACE VALUE! (as opposed to the $60 and $40 dollar offers I commonly found.) These guys were cool- they bought an extra just so they could pick it up, and go back out onto the street and help someone out. We need more people like these guys in this world, eh? Seek Up Dancing Nancies Warehouse One Sweet World Satellite Typical Situation Recently - #36 Ants Marching singer got "lost" - he just took off so the guy singing for them was a roadie for the Samples!? Woah! He was funny- he brought as many as he could up on stage because, "hey, there's a lot of dancing room up here so come on up!" Security promptly took them down after the first song. long- seemed like at least an hour! DMB played what, an hour and a half? What's up with that? I wish DMB played longer... they RULED. God they were great- played with so much energy. I saw Carter out on the street before the show catching a smoke, and we told him to have a great show... and apparently, he liked the idea. :) Carter was blowing all kinds of great chops. G guys again, I'm there. Great show. I was lucky enough to get a crispy 2nd gen from DAT of the show, so the first five that email me can have the show, if you promise to make at least two copies for someone else. ---Top Permalink
I know I sound like a really sorry and pathetic soul, but I am willing to part with a part of the body for 2 tix on this date. By the time that I was aware of the concert there were only tix available for the 11th show and it is impossible for me to attend on that date. If there is anyone out there that can help a person attend their first DMB concert please respond.Top Permalink

Thanks in advance...tom this is the song that most of us stupid va. type folk (and a few beyond us stupid va type folk) refer to as heathcliff's haiku warriors. we call it that because dave never called it anything in the three times he's actually played it, but i think it was bagby or someone who said he might call it so happy. then again, if you listen to the premier version of the song (big league chew, 3-23-93), you'll find it is anything but a happy song, even if it is fun to listen to. the lyrics are really somber, but i can't remember any of them right off hand. 3-23-93 (big league chew) 7-6-93 (with greg howard sitting in for stefan) 11-9-93 (remember two things cd release party) ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\____________________________________ __________________________________ \_________________________________Top Permalink
Well kids, If Ben Tanen doesn't have any comments, I'll take it upon myself to comment. First of all, the crowd was young, very young. My friend actually got freaked out when we saw all these 14 and 15 year old kids his little sister's age at the show. It seemed like they were there to hear Ants and Satellite and that's it. There was no crowd surfing, thank God, but the fact that the Orpheum is reserved seating kind've prevented that. The show itself was really short (only about 1 hr. 10 or 20 mins.) but had it's high points. Typical Situation and One Sweet World were excellent as were Boyd's solos in Nancies (he was breaking strands off his bow). The band had crazy energy at first but seemed to lose a lot of it at the crowd's lack of response to Norwegian (sp?) Wood in the beginning of Recently and the fact that poeple actually sat down during #36. My friends and I were probably in a group of 50 or so who were dancing and grooving while the rest of the crowd sat and waited for Ants to go crazy. Well, all in all it was a good show, although a short one, even though the teeny-bopper/New England Prep School crowd kinda sucked. Bummed that I didn't hear Lover or Granny, Craig Cypher cypherc@cleo.bc.edu P.S. Please tell me that DMB at Lollapalooza is and will remain a rumor.Top Permalink
Dave sighting number 1... Over Christmas I was up in New York and I saw a commercial for the Wiz (a cross between Circuit City and Blockbuster Music). They were advertising UTTAD and showing a clip of Tripping Billies. They showed about 30 seconds of it. I was nly able to here bits and pieces of the song because of the voice over plugging the album. Has anybody seen the entire video? Dave sighting number 2... What Would You Say was the smash or trash video on Sound FX, the music consumer guide show on the new FX network. If your cable company does not offer this channel tell them to get it. This show is the hippest show on today. Anyway WWYS was on the segment where people can call up and either smash or trash the video. The three hosts are not allowed to give their opinion's, but Hootie and the Blowfish were on the show as guests and they gave the video and Dave two thumbs up. In fact the drummer (?) said that he would personally kick the snot out of anybody who trashed the video. By shows end WWYS was 80/20 smash/trash. Dave sighting number 3... Thursday 2/2. Broad daylight. 2:30pm. WWYS on MTV. The VJ (some guy with long hair) didn't hype it, but still it has finally creeped out of the midnight hour. Strawberry Banks show in Hampton last August. It was at this show that I proposed to my girlfriend and I would like to give her a tape of the show for our anniversary coming up (she said yes by the way). Also her favorite song is Lover Lay Down, does anyone have a Bagby with a nice version of this song. I am willing to trade or pay for either.Top Permalink
Hi there all, I'm mostly a lurker 'round here but I have two tickets I won't be using for the Tower Theater show on Saturday Feb. 11. The tix aren't the best, but they are inside the building, which is most important. Let me know if you want them / need them... I'm actually more interested in shows than the money... I'd be especially receptive to replies from those of you with shows that pre-date Mr. Clinton's presidency. Anyone interested, please reply soon so I can get the tix to you ASAP. Thanks.

When the tour came here last week, (1/27) after the show the lead singer of the Ugly Americans hung out and smoked a few bowls with me and my friends, he was very cool... anyway if anyone hears what happened to him, i'd be psyched if you could let me know 3rd - shit--- i know i had a third question, but i have had a severe case of insomnia, 10 hours of sleep since last sunday night and i have had trouble thinking lately (lack of sleep and alot of weed are good for that)... it really sucks, but i have had all the more time to listen to Dave Peace, love, and DAVEband forever tomorrow morning!!!

well well well... small little clare tidbit for ya'll. this is rusted root related. so.. no dmbc. i am a major (did i emphasize 'major') fan of teh tv show (my dad and i bond by watching all teh beat-em-up-kill-em-blood-and-guts movies togetherr) and he got me hooked on this show last year. anyway.. it's, like.. the only tv i watch at all. and my dad and i still bond by watching 'homicide' together every friday, even tough he's over 3 hrs away from me.. i always know he'll be watchin it same time as i am.. (usually.. he likes to call later that weekend to chat about homicide... man.. you should see my dad.. two-war veteeran, retired army aviator, 'cussin and hackin and chewin and spittin' type) oh my.. i'm ddigressing muchly.. anyway... this show playes kickass music. REALLY kickass music! and the pieces they use, fit with the plot, or action sequence of what's happaning at that minute... and theyr'e playing a rusted root song during this very intense stakeout and capture of this suspect. they were playing 'drum trip', the first song off the 'when i woke' cd. go listen to this song. amazing. then inmagine it in the scen i mentioned. kickass. make sure you watch 'homicide' i will one day carry a gun. beware. on another note.... talking about evil automible police officer ticket chafes.... boofy wrote this..... 'I was listened to my fresh copy of Wait from the night before, was in the middle of ants.....' yet another reason why this song is evil. heee heee... i'm jsut joking all.. its' nice to see that dave will still play a two-step for a 14 yr old who cant' make his show. think about this next tiem you think the band is selling out. love and light firewater and snowangels... cec ******************************************************************************* clare emily clifford molecular genetics dpt of biology virginia tech & state u *******************************************************************************Top Permalink

Sorry pholks, this is a personal note to a few people and I didn't want to write it out several hundred times. If you are Joe (in CA), Justin Haveman, Beth (from TX), Lee Kallman, Mike Kimberling, Clarke (in NC) or anyone else trading/expecting tapes from me let me apologize for my situation. I've gotten way over my head. In the past three weeks I've spent $112 on blanks alone. I've kinda run out of money and to boot, for those of you who's tapes I've already made (Joe) our bookstore has run out of the right size padded envelopes and I've used up my private hord of said envelopes. ***********************But NOT to worry************************************** I will have money by this coming saturday, and will spend the better part of Saturday afternoon spinning tapes. If I cannot get the proper padded envelopes by then (our post office is pretty sad and doesn't carry them) I'll get ahold of some bubble wrap and send your tapes two-day priority mail. I know all of this fuss may seem strange considering that none of you has been expecting tapes from me for more than a week (some of these trades aren't 4 days old yet) but some of you have already put your tapes in the mail and I know the anxiety of waiting for tapes, so I just thought I'd keep you updates. mind waiting 'till I can get Maxell's, I can have your tape to you by next Tues.(?) all over my tapes and I have to sit and edit it myself, not to mention the filler. I will get this to you though. keep my status as a good trader, not to mention that I pride myself on prompt and courtious service. :) pre-Vday gathering at 3rd st., let me know and I can deliver your tapes personally. Thanks for your patience!Top Permalink
the subject says it all...... just got home from dmb show #2, where can i start???? sold out show- ugly americans-well, lets just say that was the part of the show where i got my cup o' beer (worst sound mix i ever heard) big head-pretty much bored the shit out of me, with the exception of a surprising catchy james brown medley-type thing. go figure. then, the show began. got to be one of the best concert experiences i've had so far. the crowd was great-no crowd surfers, no moshing-just a bunch of really cool people who were appreciating the show. crowd was LOUD-but quieted down nice for the softer moments. and the band was receptive-it was not hard to tell. they were incredibly intense, much better than at the horde this year. i was going to take down a setlist, but i couldn't stop movin long enough to get out my pad. here's what i remember, in no order- satellite recently- (some great song that i forgot the name of) rhyme lover lay down dancing nancies jimi ants one sweet world billies i think there was more, but i forget....... jeez, i'm gonna have this smile on my face for a long time.... fuck rca, fuck buzz clips, fuck selling out-i don't care what anyone says, dmb will remain-this can't be stopped, because it is a vibe, it is something that won't be there when you listen to it in your car, or your living room, or on mtv, but it will be floating around when you see them playing in front of you-it enters your soul( if you let it) and moves you, physically and emotionally. no band that "sells out" plays the way that they did tonight. i hope this isn't all nonsense, it's just what is going through my head......this isn't drunk mail either, i'm completley straight tonight, i couldn't have appreciated it any other way..well, maybe not :) lets just stop worrying about the band and enjoy them, enjoy this net, enjoy our boots-i trust that the band will stay true to it's TRUE fans, those who really appreciate the tunes. i think we're ok. if you haven't deleted yet, thanks for reading my thingy here. goodnight, maybe i'll see y'all at the next show :) lets try this sig again, sorry it got so messed up last time....... +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+What your SPIRIT is is what you are, what you breathe upon your fellows.

Hey all, clip, why don't you do what I do when MTV latches on to a group and/or song that I like--stop watching. I have found that this works well, as I tend not to get tired of a song that I would otherwise love. Of course, in the case of bands like Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana, this strategy doesn't always work, but since I have yet to see the new video (I usually only flip to MTV during commercials) I assume that this little trick is still working as far as DMB is concerned. Later, ChrisTop Permalink
end of some sort of interview thing with the director of WWYS. He was mumbling about the videos that he had directed, and they were showing cuts of the Dave video and cutting out to this director guy, the only things I caught were something about Dave wanted the video be left open so the viewer could conjure his own idea of the song while seeing them live because thats what they do best... The director guy also talked about Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge(SP) videos that he had done. It was severly random and sort of strange, nonetheless intriging...Top Permalink

Just trying again to some how obtain tix for that date. I know I sound pathetic but I desperately need two tix so that I can go. I learned about the concert too late to buy tix for the 10th, and I can not go on the 11th.Top Permalink

Hey all, Forgive me for askin, but if y'all don't like DMB being a buzz clip, why don't you do what I do when MTV latches on to a group and/or song that I like--stop watching. I have found that this works well Of course, in the case of bands like Green Day, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana, this strategy doesn't always work sometimes it works well, but sometimes it doesnt work??? no, dont answer that.......it doesnt matter because it's not about how many times we hear the song, and how fast we're going to tire of it....... we cant just turn it off and it's not a matter of how it changes the band and that's a damn good thing...... it's a matter of a) how the fan base spreads and b) how their record co. treats them... the fans turn from people who truely love their music and more and more people claim themselves as fans if they loooove one song........ I have to reach waaayyy back for this one, so sorry, but how do you think dexy's midnight runners became pegged as one-hit wonders?.....easy....mtv played 'come on eileen' all the time, and people loved it, and the runners basked in stardom for 3 months.,.. now, during those 3 months, their fan base changed from college alternative, into a LOT of pre-teens and younger people who only liked one song......eileen.. meanwhile the old fans of the runners, were irritated that these people would only like that song, and not listen to anything else even though these teens claimed to be fans....ya see? only now, it's not just the fans that don't like this attitude, but the band, too......dave said once that if he hears one more girl screaming sattelites sattelites sattelites during watchtower then he would scream......and i know that was happening before mtv ran wwys, but i have a feeling it's worse now...... and as for part b......look at the current tour......read some of the posts about the shorter shows, and the bands discouragement at people in the crowd, and their actions..... and i wish you all could have heard him talk about rca and todd.....he wasnt that thrilled, but he kinda felt he had to i think........ i dont know....i just see the progression of bands in the same situation mother love bone pearl jam green day phish it's not wholly mtv im worried about, that's not what happened to phish.... it's just the whole popularity, and the role mtv plays in it.......and if the band wanted to be zillionaires, then id be happier, but they really dont (or at least it doesnt seem so) i, for one, will be happy with any good music dmb puts out......but i wont go see them on the 193rd row, with sattelite screaming girls all around me because they have the #1 vidoe AND a new buzzclip yet, i love dmb live./......i just dont want the scene to turn into that my two cents keithTop Permalink

Overnight Dave has not only been elevated to Buzz Clip status but has received Buzz Clip "Honorable Mention" in MTV's new commercials. When I heard about DaMaBa becoming a Buzz Clip, I feared it would soon be incorporated into a "Plug Into MTV" commercial. This morning about nine o'clock I actually relieved to see a new MTV commercial with Portishead and others but no Dave. However, by noon they had added a introductory sound byte of WWYS. Whether you applaud this widespread attention or not, be assured that every hour on MTV whether you are watching Sandblast or The Real World, you can receive your daily dose of Dave on MTV.
