Sorry to the guy (was it Bill?) who tried to tree v-day. I really do sympathize with you and all the twigs, branches, leaves, and sprouts that wanted that tape. Unfortunately (and this is just to further inform some uninformed people) the show was illegal to tape. OK, no problem...we can be sneaky. BUT, you are not sneaky if you broadcast that you have the tape on this net (not too private here, you see???) Well, I think you all got the point. You never know who's lurking on this thing. So, to those of you who are quietly sitting on your tape of the day after V-Day show (and you know who you are 'cause I bet there's quite a few of you), keep on grinnin' and listening to your little gem all by yourself. And if you feel like sharing your secret with some select friends that's your perrogative, but is certainly not condoned (heh heh). In other words, what DMB or the Symphony doesn't know wont hurt 'em, right? Let's just try to keep our actions from reflecting badly on the band in the future. It's kinda like the dorm counselor thing...most of 'em aren't going to look for beer in your room, but if you offer them one, they're gonna have to bust you. You know what I mean?

I just heard from a friend who books for Boxing Ghandis that they have joined DMB and BHTM for the rest (?) of this tour. I am seeing them here in LA on Friday. But he said that the tour will come through here again before it ends. I wonder where they will play...do you think Dave will start dating Supermodels?Top Permalink
I just saw a wiz commercial where they played wwys the whole time and showed clips from the roseland shows. It talked about how dave and a couple other bands were alternative and how they supported dave and acouple other bands when they started out at roseland and shit. has anyone else seen this. i can't beleive my eyes. well it's about time the boys got their own commercial i always thought they desevered it.Top Permalink
DMB. It is literally the most insulting and misguided interpretation of Dave's music ever put forth. I don't mind people criticizing the band so long as the criticisms are well founded. This guy is just out to lunch. How does anyone that obnoxious get hired by a major newspaper. Neo-deadheads and drugged up audience.

Morgan's idea is a good one. I think that everyone on the list really wants that show and I'm sure the RSO would be psyched for some extra donations. If anyone knows or could get the number of the people at RSO, I will call them myself and see if some solution can be found whereby both the RSO and the people of the Minaret.Net will benefit.Top Permalink
Umm i have 11, so that's my guess.. Allright, anyone who has 0 or very few tapes, here is an offer.

I think it has been posted, but people have been asking. I saw a commercial for Dave and the boys on House of Blues _this_ weekend. House Of Blues is on TBS. The show comes on at 12:00 midnight if you live in Eastern Standard Time. It will be on both Friady and Saturday nights at that time. Also, I hate to bitch, and a couple personal messages a day don't really bother me, but this is getting out of hand. I just checked my mail, and out of about 15 messages, 12 were personal messages. I will be calm and give advice. the net. Respond to the person by his/her personal e-mail account. You can find it by reading in the intro to the message. Please for the sake of everyone, do this. Sorry, for this small request. If you fell like flaming me for this request, do so to me personally at danielt@tiger.hsc.edu, and not to the net. Nobody wants their mail box cluttered with flames and personals. Sorry to go on so long.................tomTop Permalink
Mike Powers' interview with Boyd Tinsley aired tonight. While it broke little new ground for diehard fans, the interview was well conducted and showed the musical roots of the band to new fans. The two hour show (no commercials!!) was filled with a variety of songs from R2T and UTTAD and the Recently EP. It was odd to hear Haloween on the radio. Also played was a version of Ants with Tim Reynolds, the Typical Situation from the Rutebega demo, and Warehouse from the Recently EP. A very good show for people not familiar with the band, and an excellent selection of music to show the diversity of the band. Well done.

Hello all, morning, but I can't stop listening to them. I've listened to DMB for about a year and a half now, but I've never had the good fortune to get any quality live shows on tape. Until now. I recently traded for the 7/6/93 show at Trax (Much thanks Mark!!) and I am in awe. Some of the songs that I have never heard in concert are incredible! Granny--I can't stop playing this song. I fear that I am going to ruin my tape because I keep rewinding and playing it over and over! My other two favorite songs of the moment are #36 and Say Goodbye. SG has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I heard #36 in concert in Boston on 2/4 and was blown away by it. the song after Tripping Billies in Set III? It sounds sort of like an early version of Say Goodbye. Is it? If anyone can help, please *personal* e-mail with the info. Thanks. lyric file? I would really love to get the lyrics for #36, Granny, and Say Goodbye. Again, *personal* e-mail. -JeffTop Permalink
What's up! about a year and a half now. I've been on other mailing lists lately, and want to say how awesome the attitude on this one is. Everyone is interested in helping other people get new bootlegs and learn more about DMB. PLease don't ever let this list turn into a flame war about stupib things. Everybody, stay golden and keep up the good spirits. Peace!Top Permalink
First off, Ugly Americans aren't very good. They aren't bad (the organ is a nice touch), but they aren't good, either. At least I didn't miss much by missing the first few songs they did. Secondly, Big Head Todd and the Monsters Wail!!! I saw them here last year, and they continue to impress me. I didn't know any of the songs off their new album, but I thought they were really good songs, and "Moose Song" was just sick. I have the setlist written down if anyone wants it. Thirdly, The Embassy Theatre in Ft. Wayne is awesome. It's really old, with a high ceiling and a balcony and beautifully carved walls, with plush seats and red carpet. There were all these old people acting as ushers to take you to your seat. It was great. Fourthly, Ft. Wayne, IN is home to a lot of white trash. At least, as far as I could tell by all the drunk high schoolers at the show, not to mention the many adults who looked completely out of place in cowboy boots, and who sat and looked confused for most of the show. Must've been there to see Ugly Americans, I guess. Before you flame, I live in the same mountains of VA that Dave & Co. do, so I KNOW what white trash is like. My town's full of it. Fifthly, THIS SHOW ABSOLUTELY WAS INSANE!!!! Every song was jammed to the hilt...Recently was cut off in the middle so Boyd could fix his violin....so what do they do? The "Blue Water/ Bring me Wine-GRANNY!" segue, right out of Recently...absolutely beautiful, considering I'd been screaming for Granny just before Recently started. Yes, the show started with #36...beautiful move, playing something most of the folks didn't know...Ants got the expected response, but it was actually good, at least the intro was...Rhyme and Reason was probably the most unspectacular number of the night, but that's not saying much, as True Reflection was absolutely brilliant...Boyd got into it very much....Then came WWYS, which I don't like, but Leroi played as well as he could and saved it for me...then the intro/jam (DO we have a name for this yet???) into Satellite...I told the 2 redneck girls behind me (one of whom has permanently damaged my left eardrum with her incessant high-pitched shrill screaming) that Satellite was coming up, and they seemed dumbfounded....then it started....not bad, but nothing to scream about (something the Ft. Wayners had difficulty understanding)....Boom. Dancing Nancies.....Un-fucking-believable....jam was vicious, all Boyd. Then another surprise...Minarets...I thought they'd shelved this one...it was brilliant, the band sounded very full and together....then the "hippie song"...it was about 15 or so minutes...had me dancing hard the whole time...Leroi blew the shit out his solo....the place went nuts then, rightfully so....I thought they were gonna end there, but instead, Dave played the Samples' "Nature" song for a bit, and went right into haven't heard before"....so much to say, so well-played. I was probably the only one who knew all the words...I was getting some strange looks. Oh well. #36- Ants Recently (incomplete) - Blue Water ("Bring me Wine")- Granny Rhyme & Reason True Reflection WWYS Jam- Satellite Dancing Nancies Minarets Jimithing "Nature" intro- Tripping Billies IF ANYONE TAPED THIS SHOW, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I BESEECH THEE, GET IN TOUCH WITH ME!!!!! I didn't see any mic stands there, and I was talking to Bagby afterwards (you know, "Hey, I'm from Staunton, you might have heard of it") and he said it may just not have been taped. That would suck, because this show blew the shit out of the show I saw in DC 2 months ago, and that one was good too....I also asked him about the RSO and about why they're making such a fuss about tapes, and he said he can't speak for the band, but he wouldn't mind if tapes were out there, but it's not up to him. He has no idea what's going to happen to the performances, but RSO has all rights over the officially recorded stuff. Well, that's all for now... I want to thank Joel (who's still on the road now, poor sap) for hooking me up with a 5th row seat, and I'm telling y'all, this show was a definite mindblower. Peace, and all that, Dominic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dominic J.

If you are a Phish netter, you may notice striking similarities in the structure of this file, and you may even notice that half of it is exactly the same. That's mine and ellis's fault. If you have a question and it isn't answered here, then ask me. I may not be able to answer it, but i know people who can, and i'll be able to get it answered here.

The answer is a resounding NO. This particular question is date specific to the Oct 94 posting of the faq, and is intended to point out that the faq is still in a state of flux as the net has grown to immense proportions in the past two months. i encourage all members of the net to proofread this faq as diligently as you want, and to let me know where you think answers could use improvement, and what questions should be answered. Alex and i will be working over the next few months to make this file as overwhelmingly informative as possible, so be on the lookout around the beginning of the year for a new and improved, glittering frequently asked questions file. Information we could particularly use is detailed information on the setup of the archive site at the Phish.net computer at Brown, as well as a little detail on what World Wide Web is, because i have no clue. Seeing as i wrote to of the most important files for this net, as well as knowing all file administrators personally, i've never had a need to go galloping off across the internet to find these files. So have fun picking me to peices. I slapped this version of the file together in about two hours on a Sunday night in early October, so it's probably just full of glaring mistakes.

What is Minarets.Net and how do I subscribe? Minarets.Net was initially started by Alex Crothers with the help of Ellis of Lemuria and Eric Budke. The name of the Net comes from a song on the bands first cd, Remember Two Things, and was suggested by Ellis. Originally Sreaming from the Minarets, the band shorten the name of the song to Minarets. So the name of the Net went from Sreaming_From_The_Minarets.Net to Minarets.Net. I guess we all got lucky. This Net is somewhat different than other musical nets that you may be familiar with. To begin with it is not automatically digestified (see below) so whenever you send a message to Minarets it gets sent to all the subscribers immediately. Another aspect of this net that is different than other nets is in the way you subscribe/unsubscribe.

What files are available pertaining to this net and the band? -------------------------------------- The Warehouse is minarets.net's setlist file. The file is being put together by Blake Campbell cambp_c@cs.odu.edu, and is currently not well enough established to really be available for your perusal. i'm sure when it's done, though, he will post it, and then everyone will know. -------------------------------------- A-3: What other listservs are there?

Who is the Dave Matthews Band? of five musicians to create a uniquely compelling pop sound that combines the influences of folk, jazz, rock, world beat, and reggae. emble the players in 1991 to accompany him on a demo tape of original songs. Then a bartender at a Charlottesville, Va. jazz venue, Matthews says he aimed high, approaching the musicians he respected most. out. The trio then approached Stefan Lessard, who at 16, was already an accomplished upright bass player, about playing electric bass guitar for the band. When one of the tunes seemed to need violin, they enlisted the string expertise of Boyd Tinsley, and a band was born. who is the band's cheif songwriter. "It's pop music with a pretty posi- tive message. I hope it's accessible to everyone." strong individuals, each with his own interpretation of a given song. His band member agree. "We take a lot of different influences and and make something new out of them by playing each song the best that we can play it," LeRoi Moore says. It is this belnd of influences that creates the band's rich texture. : Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar) is a self-taught, lifelong lover of music who left his native South Africa as a young child, returning ther as a teenager after living in the United States and England. He credits and classical. Matthews draws from the folk traditions of many cultures from around the globe, finding common themes among their complex rhythms. For him, making music is about bringing people together, "lifting spirits." than separate them." : Carter Beauford (drums) was born to play music. The son of a jazz trumpet player, he is himself a renowned musician, and has appeared regu- larly on Black Entertainment Television's "BET on Jazz with Ramsey Lewis." "I was raised on jazz," says Beauford, whose jazz influence is evident in the makeup of the Dave Matthews Band. "Except for Stefan's bass guitar, we're an acoustic band," he says. "That comes from the early days of jazz, and from the classical influence too." The result is a multitextured sound that offers new challenges to Beauford and the other band members. "There are so many different elements in our music," he says. "You really can't put a lable on it, and that's why I love it so much." : Stefan Lessard (bass guitar) is a musician whose age belies his talent. An upright bass player who has played clubs since the age of 15, he was tapped by Matthews who "just had a feeling about him, his spirit, his sense but his band members say it's talent, not luck, that has brought him so far so soon. "The best thing about this band," Lessard says, "is that you get this potpourri of different styles." : LeRoi Moore (saxophone, et al) and Carter have been jazz compatriots for years, playing together at paying gigs and informal jam sessions. "Jazz is probably my main influence," admits Moore, who also has classical training. "But at this stage I don't really consider myself a jazz mu- sician." For him, the Dave Matthews Band remains a challenge because there is room to explore, to respond to the expressions of the other four players. "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas," says Moore, whom Matthews credits with arranging many of the songs he writes. "It's almost better than a jazz gig." : Boyd Tinsley (violin, vocals) finds it strange sometimes that he abandonedthe reserved precision of classical violin for the spontaneity of contemporary musical performance. "This was an area that I hadn't explored before," says Tinsley, who has been playing popular music since 1985. "When I'm really into the music, my whole body, my whole soul is into it." The band's diverse roots are a great asset, Tinsley says. "We're very Am- erican, as Dave says. Jazz, fiddle-style, rock, it's almost a melting pot of American music." The best thing, though, he says, is how much it matters to the audience, and to the players. "People are drawn to it," he says. "There's passion here." =========================================== B-2. What kind of equipment does the band use? In regards to equipment, Dave uses a Gibson SST Chet Atkins signature model. Boyd uses the Gallien-Krueger to power two 12" Mesa/Boogie speakers enclosed in one 1x12 cab with a metal grate, sometimes called RoadReady but I don't think that this is the type here (you can tell by the covering of the cab itself). Boyd also uses a Boss pedal for reverb, don't know the model number other than it is a digital reverb, grey , with blue knobs. As for the bassist, he uses a Warwick bass, very nice if you know basses, I think, for example, that I've seen his model here in a store in Nashville for $3000+. And that's only a 4-string. The more strings, the more money, but that doesn't matter because he only has 4. Anyway, As for his rack, I didn't really notice anything there important other than I know that his cabs are SWR and am guessing that his bass power amplifier and preamp are the same brand. This is also VERY high-end stuff. I think that Carter uses DW pedals, but don't know about that. Cymbal brands can be seen. Have no idea about the saxes or violin. That's all I got for that stuff. -------------------- At the cd release party for Under the Table and Dreaming on Sept 27th, Carter showed up with a new drum set. If anyone knows any specifics, please send me the info--rick. =========================================== when the Dave Matthews Band originally got together in early 1992, they had a keyboard player by the name of Peter Griesar. Peter also played harmonica on So Much to Day, What Would You Say, and some of the earliest versions of Screaming From the Minarets. nobody has asked Peter for sure as to why he decided to leave the band, but dave has informed us that it was a decision made under the most amiable circumstances. Dave also told us that peter had just gotten a little too tired of the touring schedule. i suppose asking Peter would be the best thing, but he's not very easy to find. ================================= B-4: Who is Tim Reynolds? As many of you know, Tim Reynolds is credited with playing on four songs on Remember Two Things, as well as the entirety of Under the Table and Dreaming. So who is he? He's pretty much just a freind of Dave's from Charlottesville. Tim has been playing guitar for longer than some of us on this net have been alive, and Dave really has taken a liking for Tim's ability to spice up his (Dave's, that is) music. Dave and Tim have also done acoustic shows together. There's several of them out there, and by the next time this is revised, i should have a listing of all of them. At this point, the only shows that come to my mind are 11-29-93 at James Madison University and 12-12-93 at The Movie Palace in Charlottesville. There's also the Birchmere show that is highlighted on the Recently ep, but i'm not positive of the date on that. i know it's sometime in February of 1993. Check your copy of Recently :). Also to note are a few shows where Tim plugged in his electric guitar and sat in with the band. These include the Miguel Valdez benefit show (see question #B5) and 12-8-93 and 12-9-93. Tim has a couple of cd's available, and is currently heading up the C-ville band known as TR3. Keep an eye out. ================================= B-5: Who is Miguel Valdez? The specifics to this question are a bit beyond me at this point, but i'll work on getting a definitive answer. Miguel Valdez was a percussionist from the Charlottesville area who used to make frequent stops to the Dave Matthews stage with a rather elaborate set of bongos. In early 1993, however Miguel died. This is where the specifics seem to elude me. I don't really know much else. If you do, please let me know. ================================= B-6: Who are some of these other regulars jammin with the band? it's a very unique instrument with a very unique sound. His most prominent work with the band are the touches he added to the studio recording of "Seek Up" on the cd "Remember Two Things", but he also played with the band the week of July 7th, 1993, when Stefan cut his hand and was unable to perform. He was also the guest performer between sets at TRAX on 9-7-93. He plays a bass that stands up on end (like a regular acoustic bass you'd see in a classy jazz band or an orchestra or something). However, it's much more thin and, as I recall, it had 10 strings. 4 of the strings seemed to be low strings and probably in the same arrangement as a bass (E, A, D, G). Then there were 5 strings on the other side that were an octave higher. The amazing thing is that he plays both sets of strings at the same time by fretting the strings really hard. The sound is really rich and the man can really jam by himself. Reid -SPICE@DICKINSON.EDU I was lucky enough to catch him at Trax on 9/7/93. He played for about a half hour between DMB sets and was fantastic. It was truly amazing to watch him play the Chapman Stick and I would strongly encourage anyone to check him out if you get the chance sometime. At this show he also played with a drummer, Johnny Newman, I think was his name and they meshed well. Supposedly Newman has played with DMB too. Anyone know anything about this? Anyway, after the show I bought Greg Howard's Cd which they were selling at the show. Its super and I would highly recommend it. You might have difficulty finding it in local record stores but here's the adress they give on the cd sleeve. Espresso The title of the cd is "Stick Figures" Greg also released a cd early in '94 entitled "Shapes" Brett ------------------------------------------------------ guy's flute work out. He played at TRAX, 11-2-93 and really gave Warehouse a nice touch, as well as giving some of the body which Lover Lay Down lost when Peter left the band. On the flute...Richard Harding is his name and he's a really nice guy. I saw him at my first DMB show a little over a year ago, but Tuesday was the first time I met him. He also like to play with various bands out in his residence of California, so if your on the west coast, keep an eye out. ------------------------------------------------------- sung with the Dave Matthews Band a few times, particularly known for helping out with vocals on Angel From Montgomery. She also sang for the short-lived Alma Madre, as well as Charlottesville All-Stars, which was a hodge-podge of c-ville musicians including, but not limited to, Carter, LeRoi, Boyd, Doug Wannamaker, Miguel Valdez, and many others. ------------------------------------------------ what he's doing with himself these days. He's another one of these artists who would just show up at Dave band shows with his organ and sit-in for the night. Doug was a member of Indecision, and then helped put together the now-defunct Alma Madre. ======================================================================= ======================================================================== C-1: What cd's are available by the Dave Matthews Band? the band put out it's first cd on Nov 9, 1993 entitled Remember Two Ants Marching/Tripping Billies/Recently/Satellite/One Sweet World/The Song That Jane Likes/Minarets/Seek Up/I'll Back You Up/Christmas Song. The only studio cuts on this cd were Minarets and Seek Up. The rest were recorded live at TRAX in Charlottesville, the Flood Zone in Richmond, and The Muse in Nantucket, RI. The cd was produced by John Alagia (who also has a musical act of his own called Derryberry and Alagia, and can be seen in the DC area). Tim Reynolds can be heard on Minarets, Seek Up, I'll Back You Up, and Christmas Song, and Greg Howard can be heard on Minarets. Recently (radio edit) Warehouse (acoustic, recorded live at the Birchmere) Dancing Nancies (same) All Along the Watchtower (recorded live at TRAX on 2-22-94) Halloween (same) To the best of my knowledge, this cd is still available through bama rags records. On Sep 27, 1994, the band put out its first major label release (RCA), Best of What's Around/What Would You Say/Satellite/Rhyme and Reason/ Typical Situation/Dancing Nancies/Ants Marching/Lover Lay Down/Jimithing/ Warehouse/Pay for What You Get/#34 you can hear Tim Reynolds on each and every one of these songs. The reason behind the repitition of Satellite and Ants Marching on both full length cd's remains a mystery to the entirety of Minarets.net. -If your local store doesn't know about DMB, you can order the disk and/or poster directly from Bama Rags Records at (804) 979-9695. However, it will be much appreciated (even if you order direct) if you'll tell your local stores about the band and ask them to get some copies to sell. They can call Bama Rags directly to do so. -------------------------------------------- C-2. #34 (see note) #34 is a very beautiful, very laid back ballad that seems very reminescent to Satellite. Dave wrote the song in memory of Miguel Valdez who used to jam with the band on a regular basis. Miguel, who was a member of Afrikan Drum Fest, died in the spring or early summer of 1993. (see q. B5) --------------------------------------------- C-3. #36 (see note) #36 is a total funkin' jam fest. It's about a slain South African member of the anti-apartheid movement by the name of Chris Hani. No two versions of the song are alike, and Dave seems particularly fond of the song. He also really likes to see his audience groove to this song, so be prepared to dance. ------------------------------------ Here are some of the more provacative and interesting introduction "Could I have been... the king of diarhea?" "Could I have been... mugged somewhere in Norfolk?" could i have been... parking lot attendant could i have been... a taxi driver and washing (in washing[ton]?) could i have been... lost in the big bad city could i have been... your little brother could i have been... anyone other than me? could i have been... parking lot attendant could i have been... a millionaire somewhere could i have been... lost in a crowd of a thousand could i have been... your little sister from Rich Prisinzano hey just thought i would post what i have so far in the what dave could have been category....... i know there has to be more out there.... a parking lot attendant his little brother... a policeman Va. Beach..... mugged somewhere in Norfolk (while playing in Va. Beach, Norfolk area) the president with diarrea... your little sister.... doctor, spreading good.... wating at your door step... Caught in public in my underwear??? Bartending at Millers??? Oh so embarrassed??? A millionaire in Bel Aire grease man from richmond a whore, give my your money, your money could i have been... parking lot attendant could i have been... taxi driver and washing (confusing line... could i have been... lost in the big bad city could i have been... anyone other than me "could I have been, a born-again Christian...could I have been, oh, they're all pain-in-the-asses..." at providence, RI, oct 10, 1994: could i have been, lost somewhere in providence --------------------------------------------- C-5. Halloween? The question mark is a key factor here. Everyone has a different a love song. But it also seems to be a hate song. According to Chris Tetselli of Red Light Management, the Make your own guesses....or maybe just zone into the music and enjoy. ---------------------------------------------- C-6: What's Tripping Billies all about? Dave has described during a couple of shows that Tripping Billies is about a late evening on a South Afican beach. Turns out that Dave had done a little too much of a particular substance that's controlled here in the U.S. (and in South Africa, i suppose) and was lying out on the beach on a beach towel. When a police officer (referred to as billies in some english speaking countries such as Australia and England) approached Dave, he handed the towel over to the officer with the mistaken impression that he was handing a loaded gun over to the officer. Didn't yer mom ever tell you to stay away from drugs?? :):):):) ---------------------------------------------- C-7. What songs have the band covered? This is the current list of the songs that the band has covered All Along the Watchtower Jimi Hendrix 2001/dueling banjos jam (always as an intro to Ants Marching) Angel From Montgomery John Prine The Redemption Song Bob Marley Exodus Bob Marley Nature The Samples The Eyes of the Maker Daniel Lanois (hasn't been done since Peter left) Me & Julio Paul Simon Sweet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd (also an Ants Marching intro) Sympathy for the Devil Stones Tangerine Zeppelin ============================================== C-8: how come they don't play ? anymore? this rather obscure song was written by former keyboardist Peter Griesar (q. B3), and when he left, Dave didn't feel appropriate playing the song anymore. Dave has, however, said that he would like to see the song appear on a cd someday. consensus has it that this song lost so much with Peter's exit that Dave found problems playing it, too. It had fairly extensive keys in the chorus and was usually introduced with a fairly rippin' harmonica solo by Peter. This, believe it or not, is one of Dave's favorite tunes. He's kind of saving it, as far as i know, for when he's really worked it out into a song that he's proud of. =========================================================================== =========================================================================== ***********************************NOTICE********************************** * This section was graciously donated by Ellis of Lemuria from * * the Phish FAQ.file.

E5: DCC and DAT compared and considered ================================================= abbreviations, dubbing, dolby & dbx. ================================================= For the most part, The Dave Matthews Band is very receptive to taping. The general way to go about it at this point is to walk to the front door of the venue and ask permission. Usually you will be allowed to, but it's best to arrive early to avoid being shut out by a preponderance of tapers. A member of the net was once promised by the band's soundman that there would always be a sbd feed of some sort available, but there's no telling whether or not RCA is going to override this promise. What do I need to bring and do when I want to tape a concert? Equipment 1. Tape deck (obviously) 2. RCA cables 3. Flashlight 4. Extension cord or (preferably) a 6 outlet strip 5. Pen 6. Paper for setlists and trading phone#s, addresses, etc. 7. Something to carry most of the shit in 8. Blank tapes (more than you think you'll need) 9. "Y" jacks if possible If you arrive late you can use these to split the soundboard signal so you don't get cut off by other decks. Arrive early, like really early. . . . You'll get a better feed, you can get yourself set up while the house lights are still on, and it really annoys other tapers when you run in during the first song and try to hook up. Hang around your deck. Letting your tape run out and killing someone else's signal is the rudest thing possible. Always flip when you think its neccesary. Watch out for other people's equipment, etc. If you take care of others, they'll take care of you. If you think someone needs to flip or needs a new tape, ask others around you what the best option is; most likely it'll be a joint effort to make sure that both you and the guy who forgot get good tapes. Be prepared for "Hey man, did ya tape the show, can I give you my address, phone #, etc." Write out your address/phone# a few times and just give it to these people and tell them to get in touch with you, it makes life a lot easier. And the final, NEVER TO BE BROKEN, rule of taping, you MUST listen to the show in the car on the ride home, no matter what. We call this Blake's rule [this is in reference to Chris's friend Blake Campbell]. Any other suggestions from tapers out there? Enjoy and I hope everyone gets good tapes. . . . ================================================== {In Phish.faq.file, this questions serves the purpose of } {telling what really great show are on tape, and circulating. } {With the current status of DMB tapes being very vague, this } {question is currently unanswered. If you can suggest a } {specific show to add to this list, send to Rick Thompson } {stu_rcthomps@vax1.acs.jmu.edu. } Some particular shows to keep an eye out for are van Ryper's 92, 11-17-92/TRAX, 3-23-93/TRAX, and 10-26-93/TRAX. Blake Campbell is currently working on the Warehouse, which will serve as the minarets.net's setlist file. someone also volunteered recently to put together a file specifically geered towards answering this question, something sorta like phish.net's helping phreindly book. ================================================= STU_GJCARRIE@VAX1.ACS.JMU.EDU |From Lee Silverman ST101137@brownvm.brown.edu: A Tape Tree is a way of distributing a popular tape to a large number of people. copies of a tape, everyone gets their tapes faster & there's much less work involved for the owner of the tapes. So I post to the net, saying that I'm running a tree. In that post I include a form for people to fill out & send back to me. (most of the info on these forms gets used, so always fill out the whole thing) After about a week of waiting, I compile all the replies into a "tree," where I arrange to make copies for 5 or so people. Each of those 5 people is given a list of 5 other people whom they are to make tapes for. Each of them makes copies for 5 people, & so on depending on how big the tree is. with the best taping equipment, so the tapes lose less of their sound quality. If you are on a tree you have one or two everyone). You do this by either sending blanks to, or trading with, the person above you. (Whether you send blanks or trade generally has little to do with your placement within the tree). The second responsibility you *may* have will be to copy the tapes for a certain number of other people. They may either trade with you or just send blanks. At that point your role in the tree has been fulfilled. Pandion@Brown.edu for some suggestions. {Phish specific material deleted} slackers on the net; expect that there may some problems, and that no tree will run perfectly smoothly, then be ready to patch lost branches to parents with a small burden. 2) Try to make your tree run well anyway, to preserve netiquette and tape quality, not to mention trust and credibility of and on the net process. Lee and Ellis are willing to give suggestions, at least, if not administrative help. 3) Running a tree does involve some time, not only to create the tree -- which itself could involve assimilation and organization of a hundred or more names and addresses, and being sure that those addresses and the tree links get hooked to the right people -- but to make tapes for the branches, settle any problems that arise, deal with orphaned leaves, etc. Remember, there is a difference between the person administrating, the person rooting, and the person seeding the tree. 4) The tree administrator is not the only person with responsibilities; as Lee said, everyone on the tree is responsible for his sections, and may at some point be asked to help out with stragglers, orphans, and late comers; there is no pressure, but there will be requests. 5) If you have a great tape(s) but not the experience, time, understanding, or interets to run a tree, you could ROOT your tapes to someone who IS ready to run the tree. Just post a note to the net (mail to phish@phish.net) with the subject "Need Adm for date tree". ================================================== with what you have (which assumes that you have more than a handful of boots) & to make it easier to let others see what you have (which assumes that you might one day be interested in trading for other tapes.) That is, even if you dont think one of these items is useful to have on your list, you ought to at least be able to give the relevant info on any particular tape. generation determination); Ellis tried very hard to find one. BTW, number gens how you want & be prepared to explain your standarization; there is no *right* answer. But, important info location of venue, source (FM broadcast, audience, soundboard, monitor feed, suzy-Q, studio, board remix), generation (you define!), whether the original was digital, whether your copy is on metal, whether your copy has been dolby-ized, some form of grading (try A, B, C; + or - for hiss & noise; try to be strict, it'll come to you), & any other comments (eg first {Granny}, only show with {an acoustic Tripping Billies, etc). quality and performance quality. You may want two systems, both numbered, both lettered, one letters and the other suffixes (+,-,=,*,etc) or whatever works for you. Just be sure that you know what it is and that you can decipher it for anyone who asks. {Phish specific material deleted} ================================================== You dub a tape & pay for postage; someone else does the same. (or, you might just send blanks; see D4 and D4C). The two of you discuss quality, length, choices, whatever you want beforehand, & mail to each other. This is the way that most tapes get spread out across the globe, though most tapes made are probably the dubs off of trades. One netter who currently has 160hrs, for instance, got 140 of those hours by net trade. | 1993 | What's the best way to go about setting up trades with other | net.phish heads? or respond to discussion of tapes (but see below), but you can also just talk with folks about their favorite songs and versions and shows, on email or irc or the phone or in lots at shows, and eventually you'll run into the knowledge of someone's having something you want. thats much better than just copying everything you can get your hands on. | I've arranged a half-dozen or so trades mostly by responding to | posted grovels, but how do the "old-timers" in this group go | about it? through the net and just get in contact every now and then to trade lists again. keep track of with whom you trade and check in with them again in 4, 6, or 8 months. You'll be surprised! | Do you just pick out somebody at random and send them mail | soliciting a trade?

Picking up specific shows seems as easy | as waiting for somebody to mention that they have it, or | posting a specific request, but what if I just want more live | {DMB} in general? it's old, very recent, rare, or good quality... actually, with just about any tape given the current size of the net, there are bound to be many others doing the same thing. If every mention of a tape gets mail responses of 30 requests for that tape, the net is going to see a HUGE loss of discussions of tapes people have. That is, if netiquette cant keep up with growth of the net, the net is going to experience some qualitative losses. than a general "can I have it" question. Send your list with a few suggestions at the top; dont just suggest something, cause if the person has it, he may ignore your request. Dont expect an answer immediately, and BY ALL MEANS dont hound for an answer; even that takes time. It may not happen the same day or week; may take two weeks, but after that you should try again or forget it. ================================================ Sometimes, it seems hard to get something from nothing, but you've got a few things going for you. First of all, the generosity of folks on the net. Watch the net for periodic "beginner tape offers" and "reverse tape grovels." Details relevant to each are usually explained with the posting. It might involve trading, but will probably just require you to send money or blanks and postage. There's also the possibility to be a leaf on a tree even if you dont have tapes; in fact, that's a great place to be on a tree! And, hey! If you have many tapes (over 50? 100!? 200!?!) post a message and offer this service to the first five, ten, or fifteen folks that respond. Have them send you blanks and tape some of your best for them! You'll be glad you did! {Phish specific material deleted} ======================================================= ======================================================= In general netiquette trading terms, the following seem unless you've agreed otherwise. Don't use dolby unless you've agreed otherwise (since it cant be undone). Write on the back of the cassette labels slip unless you've mentioned or asked about writing on the J-cards. Knock out tabs after recording. And REUSE YOUR MAILING ENVELOPES!! Them suckers take up landfill space like... well... something voluminous! ======================================================= {*****DUE to the technicality of sections E-1 through E-4 of the } { Phish.FAQ, I've decided not to include it here.

I realize that there are enormous demands, and far too little thanks, laid at the feet of tapers, but I also realize that many of them, at one time or another, have only been able to patch in. So... what's ok? |I'm considering the purchase of a DAT deck to tape at Phish and |other shows, now that I've realized how fun it is to have live |music around the house. What's the etiquette involved in |patching into somebody else's deck who has a better setup than |you? Or into a soundboard? Is it considered appropriate only to |patch into somebody that you know, or can you just go up to a |random taper or soundboard guy and ask him/her if you can patch |into his stuff? ========================================================= E-5: DCC and DAT, compared and considered | Hey has anybody used or bought the new digital tape | format type decks? [some text deleted...] Does this deck | sound as good as a DAT? I think it may be time for a new FAQ entry... :-) Both DCC (Digital Compact Cassette by Philips) and MD (Mini Disc by Sony) use a lossy compression method. Not all of the original signal will be retained when making copies onto DCC or MD. Whether or not it is audibly noticeable may depend on many things, such as the compression and decompression algorithms, the audio equipment, or the listener. The music is also likely to deteriorate as it goes through multiple generations. For a digital format, I believe that this is totally unacceptable. Quality of good music should not be sacrificed when not necessary. At the moment, DAT is the only format (besides PCM which is somewhat obsolete now) that allows accurate digital reproduction at a reasonable price, and I recommend DAT over DCC or MD. The prices of DAT decks and tapes are generally comparable or cheaper than DCC or MD, and either (or both) DCC or MD will probably die out soon. As Philips has recently said in a said that better myself! Go DAT!!! |Are DAT decks soon to be a thing of the past? Soon? No- DAT is entrenched in the professional and high-end consumer market. Eventually? Yes- once mass storage technology drastically improves. That should take a while though, so don't put off buying a DAT deck waiting for that...

This is not a flame to the tree admin, but this has got to be bullshit. I mean there is absolutely NO way that the RSO can keep the Dave Matthews Band accountable for an individual taping the show from the audience. The only way that DMB could get in trouble is if a SBD copy of the show started to float around. At that point I could see problems develop. I mean you could go tape the RSO any other night you felt like it and what are they going to do? They may not like the idea, but I have already provided an elaborate justification Again, the only problem for the DMB would be if it was a SBD copy which it obviously is not. It was already "not allowed" for you to tape it in the first place, and nothing more can be done about it. They are not going to go out and start arresting people for having tapes of their shows. If you are not making a profit on it then they have even less reason to do anything. This is not going to affect the DMB taping policy or anything as drastic as that. If a tree is not run I at least hope that these tapes start to filter out. If you have them let me know. Maybe we could all have them but not put them on our tape lists...that is how all the other "priv" stuff gets traded....I've gotten stuff like that. It will happen just a hell of a lot slower. I would beg the tree admin to at least trade the tapes and let it go from there.

I have been told that the V-Day shows was taped by the RSO and will be used as material for a CD. That is very cool. I don't think it will kill us to support a musical organization and it would be really nice to have it in PHAT quality on CD. Please don't post tape lists on the net! There are enought trade grovels as it is, a simple one of two line message seems to work well for me. And last, please don't reply an message you feel is personal to the net, unless it is a cool story that others might want to hear. I don't think may people are interested in how everyone elses trades are going... Peace BradTop Permalink
This is the TREE STRUCTURE announcement and posting for a two-tape tree of TR3 -- featuring Tim Reynolds, Warren Richardson, and Robert Jospe, plus many special Charlottesville guests -- featuring analog soundboards tape lengths are 90min and 100min, respectively. (If you are mailing blanks, postage would be $3 priority, and about $2 third class.) (Also, if you're mailing blanks and don't know what brand to get, I recommend Maxell XLII.) Setlists, bandmembers, and other info will be listed on *tape labels* which will be passed down the tree structure. Branch parents, please make sure to make copies for your leaves; leaves, please make sure to get copies from your branch parents! who will copy the show from the masters to DAT. Each of the 5 DAT leaves has four analog leaves. Each of the 20 analog parents has up to four leaves. If there is a summation sign ("+") before a name, that indicatest that, in their signup form, that person indicated that they would mail blanks and postage, rather than trade. If your name is preceeded by a summation sign, your parent will be looking for your blanks and postage to be in the mail pronto; you should get them out as soon as possible, so that they can be dubbed and returned to you as soon as your parents get their tapes. If your name is listed above, please get hopping with your parent so we can get this tree rolling. If your name has not been listed yet, find it with the similarly indented group of four (or 3) under a capitalized name below (the one not indented quite so much.) If your name has a "+" in front of it, you requested to send blanks and postage, and your parent will be looking for them within a week or so. -------------------------------------------- +TILDEN WHITE tilden@mickey.eng.gulfaero.com +MATT CARLSON carlson@prevmed.rochester.edu +CHRIS NEWHOUSE newyshack@aol.com +JOE DOHENY roh033.mah76x@rohmhaas.com +JASON SIMS jaysims@cris.com If I've missed you, get in touch with me pronto. After a series of computer errors this weekend, its possible that a few names have slipped, and you'll be taken care of, I promise. And watch for the upcoming TR3 release, coming April 2 to a store near you. (Further details will be on tape labels passed down the tree structure.)

i'm going to guess 14 keys... Umm i have 11, so that's my guess.. sarah lachance Allright, anyone who has 0 or very few tapes, here is an offer. The first person to send me an email with KEYS as the subject and guesses, correctly, the number of keys I have on my keychain, gets to select any show from my 26+ collection. Just send blanks and postage, and they are yours. SWAG, write me back and let me know what we are doing before the Greenville show. Later.....JeffTop Permalink
thanx for being so kind to us newbies... i've listened to dmb for about a year now but really have nothing to show for it. the only boot i have is the new year's show. i' appreciate it if you could include me in your newbie offer. here's my funny story (at least i think so): number of her dentist at home so she could make an appointment. the operator gave her a number to call information in her hometown, but she thought that the number the operator gave was the dentist's phone#. she must have tried calling 555-1212 like 6 times before she hung up the phone with disgust saying the operator must have been playing some kind of joke on her. I guess you had to be there*** peace, heatherTop Permalink

hey folks, lot more personal messages and misdirected postings and such. someone suggested that the new listproc was more confusing to respond to, but i'm usual "do you want to reply to all addressees [A] or just the sender [S]?" prompt, the message was just sent, and it appeared on the list soon after. tape list to the whole net. now, this sucks. first of all, it's a waste of space for all the people who aren't interested, and secondly, it's brought me about twenty grovels that i can't cope with. i don't think this happened because i was in too much of a rush when i posted, although if someone can demonstrate that it is i will concede the point. i humbly suggest that _whenever_ one tries to reply to the new list, one posts reply to everybody. to send a personal message, create a message normally in e-mail. does anyone have any comments or discussion? just my thoughts.Top Permalink

Somebody posted a few days ago, asking about the hidden stuff after Christmas Song on R2T. The music is extracted from the Seek Up jam, I think. As for the nature sounds, as they were recording in the studio in northern VA, they put a microphone/recorder outside and taped both the crickets and the thunder storm. Oh well, hope this helped some.........tomTop Permalink
Geez, This is getting pretty fun, everyone i got your requests to have my list, more day just in case. I will send all of you my list and i hope to get one in return. Those of you who have sent it already, thanks. Anyway, Just found about 12 more shows in a shoebox in my closet- they are all from a couple of years ago. It is kind of funny though- back then i didin't write the dates or anything on the tapes except songs. Well, for you die hards out there - what do you do with your unidentifiable shows. ( i am up to about 20 now) - i am positive most of them come from trax etc. do i list these as unknown. You see, i have them in a database and reference them and the notes on each show whenever someone wants something. Any suggestions would help me- i am a little crazy about stuff like this. Does anyone have the georgia set litsts? All of them. I have about four shows from there...... LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!! Whoever that guy was who got on and told us that we were ruining it for the old timers or whatever- they were leaving, about and we don't appreciate the meaning of his music. Geez man- how much more of a fascist can you be? Do you honestly expect the thousands of fans to think the same way about dave as you do? Everyone is different. His music means something different to every one who listens to it . When a newbie or someone shows up who has never heard some of the more incredible dave jams- like with greg howard or even with carter on bongos instead of trap, i will sit with him as long as he (or she) wants and just play incredible jams- it doesn't bother me that that person didn't have the opportunity to see hime live at trax, or have the friends to trade with. It makes me happy that they want to take the time to learn more about dave and formulate their own opinions. Everyone has to start somewhere - if you aren't going to let them in to this warehouse where we all can change colors, then you are the problem. Of course, Dave's music has changed. But, remember he is no longer playing to the generally same group of people every week. He is trying to sell something incredible at a very rapid pace! Right now he only has time for so much. I predict there will be a return to the styles of the past- and hope that one day we will hear a jam again that is longer than 1 3/4 hrs. Don't be a fascist whoever you are - and dont be an asshole. Just sit back and enjoy the ride! My Two Cents, T ps. that was not a flame just an opinion!Top Permalink
hi, i have a few questions/comments maybe some of you can help me with. 1. i have a tape from the trax, on 1/19/93 and in the second set a woman named kristen comes out and sings a little bit of angel w/ dave. the guy who i got the tape from says kristen used to be in the band. who is this mystery woman? Kristin Asbury occasionally would perform with the band... she is from Charlottesville and is still in the musci scene there. 2. i was wondering if i was the only one who noticed this, but i think that steffan never really shows off his talent to much. i've been a fan for pretty long time, and i have some tapes, and i've been to a few shows and i've never heard/seen steffan really go off. granted there are a lot of songs that they do w/ a lot of phat jams. (say goodbye, recently, #36) but he never really has his time to shine, like boyd, leroi, and carter do. If you listen to some old I'll Back You Ups, you will here SDStefan take the solo which Tim plays on in R2T. Also the other day I was listening to a show where you could here Stefan slapping his bass, pretty much getting into it. I must make a confession now, I believe that instead of replying to people, I have been sending to the net requests for people to yuse personal mail instead of forcing the entire net to read it. So for that, I am sorry, but I plea to people to PLEASE use personal mail unless it is important to the whole net. Also,I don't think people will have much luck by posting to the net that you want tapes. I would recommend waiting and getting on a tree, or if people post their lists, personally maiil to them and tell them that you are interested in a show or two, and see if you can trade for it, or if you don't have any tapes, ask them if they will make copies for you if you send blanks and return postage. I would like to help out those with out tapes, but honestly, I pay no attention to the requests made to the net at large. And finally, get the FAQ. There's so much information in there that many questions would not need to be asked. If you need help getting it, mail me personally and I'll make sure you get it. ANdrewTop Permalink
i saw it too. here in new york city they show it all the time. not only is it better than seeing joe namath get older and older, but it promotes the band, not that wwys doesn't get enough promotion already. jimTop Permalink
Allright, the contest is closed for guessing the number of keys I have. If you replyied and I haven't sent you mail on wether your right or wrong, you were either wrong or too late. The winner already knows who he is and has allready been in touch with me. Thanks for playing, bye, bye.

I am sure you have already had a reply to this, but if not it's now called Say Goodbye and is played at every show I go to for some reason(not that I am complaining). The words are usually different e every time they play it, but is basically about two freinds who are trapped together for the night because of a snow storm and one of the them wants to get romantic for the night and is trying to convince the other one that it will not mess up their frienship.

I know someone has probably already told you this but if not the name of it is Say Goodbye, used to be Quick Lay and Goodbye. Later, CliffTop Permalink
geez, didn't y'alls parents bring you up listening to the beatles? Norwegian Wood is the song about the girl who brings a man home to her flat, has her way with him, and then leaves him so that she can go off to work. He then lights a fire. Whether this is a nice friendly fireplace fire or fire to burn down her nice norwegian wood decor (which in the 60's was big in england with all the liberated women) is debatable. i once had a girl or should i say she once had me we talked until two and then she said it's time for bed etc etc...listen to the original sometime.Top Permalink
Thanx to everyone that let me know this, I'm now making tapes for the first few newbies that got back to me. I apoligize to those of you who didn't get thru in time. If I had the time I'd make tapes for the world but right now I don't. Stay tuned for more offers. peace, Dan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------Top Permalink
There is no DMB content in this at all. Mary Karlzen came to Columbia Sunday night and played at Rockafellas. She is from Miami as far as I know and she has a C.D. called Yelling At Mary. Her voice is pretty amazing and the band that backs her up was not bad. There were only about 15 people at the show and I do not think that the band was very happy about playing there. I think the only reason they came is because they are going to be touring with Hootie this summer and Rockafellas is basically where they got there start. If you get a chance to see them you should definitely go, I am willing to sit through one more Hootie show just to see them again. Cliff Moore, University of South Carolina : Dept. of Chem.

The miracle has occured! Dave & Co., as well as Mr. Big Head (Rocko's Modern Life reference for Nicktoon fans) are playing at the Sunrise Musical Theatre on April 11th. It's about half sold out. Anyone else attending? Adam G. Could you please tell me -- where in Florida is the Sunrise Musical Theatre? Also, you do know that DMB will be at the Edge in Orlando on April 10th, don't you? The last I checked there were still tickets available. Thanks! -KibblesTop Permalink

Hey there fellow minarets and Newbies!! to the list I posted. Well, to tell you the truth, that list wasn't really supposed to be posted. It was personal mail, and I must have been under the influence and mailed it to the wrong address. I appreciate all the responses, but I have way too many people mailing me right now. Unless I have PERSONALLY contacted you as of Thursday, I will not be able to do anymore trades for about two weeks (after my spring break), but please try again later. That list was supposed to have been personal mail to KARYME@aol.com, and not to the rest of the world, because as we all know, minarets is not for persoal mail, so I appologize, my mistake. Please do not feel rejected, or like i am dicking you over if you have written me and I have not responded, it is just that i have way to many to respond to. Thanks so much for understanding.

Yes the encore sdid begin with the first line from the Samples song "Nature". My question for the net is... was this Dave mocking/belittling the Samples or a tribute to them?? Does anyone know the relationship the two bands have with each other...if they have one at all? tracy Were my ears decieving me in Detroit or did the Tripping encore open with the Samples song "Nature"?
