I sent the tapes!!! i sent the tapes!! I sent the tapes!! **************************obligatory waste of bandwidth********* **************************************************************** hey there...minnow-retters! I'm sittin here, reading some responses from my last post (2 or 3 questions) and I realized that no one even blinked about the show w/ Brent and Jorma. Are you guys NUTS??!! this is the show of a lifetime!!! anyway...one question that didn't get answered was about that Van Ryper's show. does anyone have it, and could they please tell me what the hell was going on on stage? I can't figure out the instrumentation...and I think this performance was without Peter, but I can't be sure. SOMEONE else is playing with them, I'm almost positive. ** something funny ** when I was at JMU two weekends ago, I was made aware of a dreadful new trend in the underground party circuit. NO2. now I don't give a shit that people are sucking down Nitrous 8 balloons at a time...hell, I've even been known to abuse the stuff for something like 56 hours straight. HOWEVER I hear that now they mix sulphur into the tank to discourage stealing and abusing the gas. Not only does it taste like stale dogshit, but it poisons you, too. cool. so I'm watching this girl...typical JMU-froshchick...sorry, no offense to any that are eavesdropping... and she's kinda melting into the couch next to the tank. And she takes hit after hit off of a big, green balloon. Only everytime she does it, her face twists into this mask of digust which smoothes out as the nitrous takes over. cool...so she's ahving fun, right? wrong...after what seems like a particularly gruesome hit, she leans over and barfs on the floor next to the sofa. AND TAKES THE NEXT HIT, IN STRIDE!!!! felt at home, toxic nitrous and all. did this make no sense? good peace roseland tree people..the check is in the mail! spdlmtTop Permalink

I would like to thank all of you out there . I have been a member of the Phish.net for quite some time, and feel this list is done in the right way. No useless crap. For starters, for those of you who don't know the phish.net, there have been multiple postings about Dave Matthew's having AIDS. This wastes my time and others. What I have seen of this net is great. It's good to know there are still cool fans out there. crap on it. Please let me know.Top Permalink

Greetings, Maryland. There is a vicious rumor going around that Mr. Matthews is diagnosed with full-blown AIDS and is dying. I've been hearing this from several unrelated people so if it is a rumor, it has been passed around. Please update me on his condition and tell me I'm dead wrong.

hehehe/////////............................. ok............. here's something for you all to do............................ this is probably going to be the longest post to minarets ive ever made........................................ maybe........................... ok...this is the rare dave tree sturcture....... i am making this post on minarets only (for now) within two or three days, i expect to have several people emailing me telling me i forgot them, or their address is wrong, or something like that (which is inevitable with this size of a tree ( 345 people)) i am going to post this structure AGAIN later this week, after all the problems have been worked out........ this will include adding a few people to this structure..... but..... prepare yourself, because im gonna post it again........... the end of the week to get the finallized structure....... at the end of the week, i will post the final version to minarets AND i will send it to all branches all branches will inform their own children...... **please** considering most of the branches will (hopefully) do this for me, PLUS the fact that i'm posting it on minarets (and probably on horde net) then everyone should be informed........(plus it will probably be posted on tanen's killer dmb homepage) screw waldo first,.....i will take you through the processes.... the tape is going through chris buford has done a fantastic job in making the first tape ........as anticipated, it has a bunch of old jams that most of you probably never heard before.....including stefan's tune.. and the all elusive "heathcliff's haiku warriors" which was played three or four times, and dave jamming on a samples song and old versions of other stuff.......you get the picture..... i hope..... BUT he isnt done with tape two yet....... which isnt a problem.....it just means that you dont need to be bothering your parent on this tree next week, asking where your tape is....... because chris is sending me the masters (like i said, i have tape one) and THEN i am sending the masters to John Longmire john has volunteered to transfer the masters to DAT, then send them back to me. he is going to be taping DD, and some of his children will be taping DA (from DAT to analogue tape)..... every analogue coming off a DAT will be a first generation off DAT and all of my children will also have first generation copies (off the master) that is essentially what you need to know to figure out what generation tape you have....... i dont think there are any people with a fourth generation tape (i.e.: all are third generation or better) if there is a problem with your address (or you can't find your name on here (or whatever)) then contact me (koliver1@ua1vm.ua.edu) and i will make the necessary corrections and place them on the final tree structure which (again) will be posted toward the end of the week......... notes included with the names........ *metal* = that person weants their copy on metal analogue tapes *DAT* = obvious **from whoever ____ i realize this may be confusing, but it's better than the prose version...... (bill lakenan tapes the tapes for klong and jen f. on DAT, and will seay, brain walsh and david micelli on analogue (metal for the former two)......meanwhile, klong will tape for jeff, mike peter...........) now, while all of the above is true, it is fucking impossible to make any sense of it once i get rolling (remember, there are 350 people on the tree) so, just get into your "map-reading" phase, and go for it.... the important thing about the final structure is that it will be right............ not implying that this structure is wrong, but several branches will have one or two kids added on by ther next one....... oh well................. if you are confused, there is a tree file on the web page.......i know that brett king wrote it, and i totally revised it, but i can't really remember what it says, so if you go to it for help, and IT confuses, then just drop me a line and if you arent on the tree, and want to be, also drop me a line even though im only going to be able to accomidate a handful more this fits on two 90 minute cassettes the final structure, because that's what everyone will be reading carefully and i really dont feel like fucking with being coherent right now..... here 'tis | | | |-keith (KOLIVER1@UA1VM.UA.EDU) *DAT **from andy zaff | _____ john will send me back the masters, and from them,: me....KOLIVER1@UA1VM.UA.EDU ok................ for now.........that's it........... there's not really anything else to say about this right now............ so if you have any questions, email me KOLIVER1@UA1VM.UA.EDU KOLIVER1@UA1IX.UA.EDU but i rarely check my aol account, so it may be awhile before i get your message.......... keithTop Permalink
when is dave coming back to virginia???Top Permalink
First off, enjoyed skimming the 437 messages I got while away for spring break. I was wondering if anyone can help me with a couple of questions. Does anyone have the show from Oxford, Mississsippi from this past fall? Is anyone going to the shows in San francisco in May? If so are you taping? Love to here from you if you can answer yes to any of will be spinning soon. Is Dave playing any small shows while he is in the Bay Area? He played a smaller venue in town when he opened for Phish in December. Just curious. Thanks for your time. Later, KevinTop Permalink
point #1 - waldo is my friend. please stop being mean to my friend. you're so mean. meanies. mean type people.. mean mean mean. i mean, waldo l jaquith? sounds like he should be 85 & be talking about the depression... i mean, if he's 16, he was born in like 1979 (whoa.. I remember that year), so that means someone in this world named their child waldo in 1979. 'course, my dad said he wanted to name me 'flash'.. (go mom) if i were a girl my name would've been elizabeth. dunno if i ever told yous that beffffffffffy. point #2 - sharp point. ow. watch it! point #4 - there is no point #3. point #5 - blues traveler sent me a sticker. *are you listening DAVE?!?!* no.. of couse not, cuz this is the _old_ list that's been _replaced_ and has piece of crap faq's and homepages.. silly me. i should be subscribed to something which has more messages about people's viral status then the love. point #6 - it's 4:40am. do you know where your love is? find it. point #7 - i hate numbering so well jimithing. i don't have anything else to say 'cept saying 'well jimithing' sounds better then 'well shit' it right. could i have................................. nope. not gonna do it (he's my grad speaker don'tcha know). gotta take the die that life rolls for you you do. same words, they just come out a bit different..... i had apple pie tonight i think I'll write a letter. goodbyeTop Permalink

This is concerning the Proctor and Gamble thing. No DMB content. Sorry for the waste of space. But I had to say this. How dare you forward this private trash to our net. I find your message hateful and distasteful. I am a Christian, but I will not be told what to do or what to buy by anyone. Furthermore, I doubt the veracity of your message. Did you personally see the show? Have you personally talked to anybody who has? These P&G rumors have been around for a long time, origanally stemming from their old logo, which they dropped about six years ago. It had a moon and 13 stars on it, which to the lunitics that started this rumor, obviously meant they were tied to the occult. I have a suspicion that the address given is either false or correct, but the rumor mongers are banking on nobody actually cheacking it out. our forefathers. Many witches are very nice people. How about trying to open your mind instead of sending potentially false and definatly hateful messages to people that could care less agout your far-right sensibilities?

Hey All, times, check out the 11-17-94 Fox Theater show. This version of 'justajam' actually has words (more than Lexington) and it is rather dark at times. I remember Dave singing something about "losing a friend up against a wall" or something along those lines. It seems to me that this thing may grow up into a cool song. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it emerge sometime as a song with an actual title... Just my opinion/comment...Top Permalink

We partied all day and the concert was at 10. You could buy tickets at the door. The place had a small upstairs balcony. There were around 300 people there, all spread out. I spent most of the concert in the first three rows of people. And we had a table. They were incredible, especially the violen player. He was trippin big time. They came on stage and a guy yelled "Amsterdam how I love amsterdam". They ended with Watchtower.Top Permalink
HI i dont mean to waste bandwidth, however this is a personal to ALEX CROTHERS i have become really good friends with an old friend of yours, who apparently used to take baths with you (when you were quite young). dhe wanted to be here when i wrote this, but i can't find her right now. i met your brother taylor, she introduced me to him at a phish show a while back(he was taking pictures, of course). anyway, her name is crystal waters, and i believe she wants to talk to you through the computer. i never put it together, that you and taylor were brothers, until we were talking about him, and she said alex. then i said that you were "dave matthews man", and she confirmed. write any time, and i'll get her in here to read. also if you want to trade tapes, i've got a lot of fatties. later -bruce bricker@acme.highpoint.edu ps. sorry again for posting here, but i didn't know your address. peaceTop Permalink

don't read the newsgroup might be interested in this person who claims to represent Bama Rags.

Dave did a GREAT version at his concert with the Richmond Orchestra on 2-14, and I really hoped that somebody was recording it! There were few dry eyes in the audience at the end of that song, I can assure you. +------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Waldo L.

From your previous posts, you seem like a newbie. You show no respect for the establishment (the minarets mailing list is NOT replaced by this group, contrary to what you have said), and you don't put much effort into correctly using a text editor or editing your posts (OK, this one isn't bad but most of the others are). I know I wouldn't have you representing my organization. But since you do seem to have some official connection, let me point out that it was the DMB management which killed the V-day tree on the minarets list. Apparently the RSO didn't want taping, so the people that recorded the show (against the band's instructions in the first place, but it appears they just said that because of the RSO) were not permitted to distribute it via a public tree. So are you saying that we have official band permission to run that tree? Or is it that you just don't have a clue as to what's actually going on? -gdTop Permalink
hello all.... boy...its been ages since i posted around here..... just wanted to inform all newbies who responded to my "i'll tape anything" offer who are still awaiting tapes (there are 4 or 5 of you left i think...) that my tapedeck has finally rebelled...it suddenly started squeaking and grinding and screaming at me for inflicting such non-stop tapage upon it.... and now the heads just will not turn.. sad. but what this really means is that i will spin all your tapes on a borrowed deck while mine is at the hospital.... i just won't be able to do it until after wednesday, 'k? so if you're waiting for tapes from beth-in-texas...... look for them soon...so soon... and send warm positive energy to ensure the recovery of my poor..sickly...tapedeck..

OK. I have posted about this before, but now it is really starting to piss me off. While reading the ever so long "tree" post, by none other then keith (all hail the tree king), I ran across a familiar name. JCDAVIS@WAM.UMD.EDU. HE IS AN EXTREMELY BAD TRADER.... ACTUALLY HE DOESN"T TRADE, HE JUST RIPS YOU OFF! He has been on a few of the last trees and I wonder if he sent tapes out. I am not the first to bash this guy. HE OWES ME 7+ TAPES.... and he is still out there, probably laughing right now. Why should someone like this have the same "rights" that everyone else on this net does that is a good trader.? Huh, Huh? I didn't think so... he replied to my last bad trader post and said "SURE, I'LL SEND YOUR TAPES OUT! Neglecting the fact that it has been over 6 MONTHS now since our trade agreement. I sent his tapes out the next day, but like I said I am still waiting for mine... Can't we all email bomb him until I get my tapes... sorry for the personal grovel, but it's true. 800+ letters a day would surely do it... I wish this could be done and it's a serious thought... I don't think he should be trading anymore, nor should he be on the net anymore... Anyone expecting tapes from him on this tree, DON'T. He does not trade... he rips people off. Reply personally if you think something can be done... or send your flames... or your moral support... This sucks though... it is the 5th time I have posted and he is still trading. When will you people get the point... later... and happy trading...Top Permalink

Minarets! I am hopefully going to see my first DMB concert on the 10th in Orlando. (Yes, I know that makes me that dirty word - a newbie - however, I am traveling 2 hours away to see them and I truly admire their work!!!) I am very very excited, and I would like to pick up a copy of Recently at the show. Is it usually available at the shows, or must this be ordered through the mail? allows taping of their shows, I would love to start a collection! (Incidently, I think it is fantastic the band allows fans to distribute these shows!) If anyone starts a "newbie offer," please let me know. I would be happy to provide the necessities (tapes, postage, envelopes, cash g). I do not know if it is proper netiquete to request an offer, but I figure there is no other way I can get my hands on some more music by DMB! Thanks! needed? I am seriously considering buying a DAT machine, but not sure if it will be a thing of the past. If anyone can personally e-mail me suggestions on equipment, I would appreicate it!Top Permalink
I was having a conversation with a friend of mine last night and he said that he liked DMB but, "They aren't going anywhere until they get a lead guitarist." Now I know that this statement is dumb first of all because DMB is going and going very well but I was just wondering what people think about this. I personally think that DMB is a great change from so many new bands that are too guitar centered. DMB's acoustic sounds are so original and that is part of what draws me to their music. Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks for the space! Matt (Dancnancie)Top Permalink

Hello all.. I'm from Lynchburg Va, and I've had the pleasure of see Dave many a time at UVa.. but never had the sense (or quality equipment) to record him.

Not only is dave's music showing up in clothing stores, he's actually getting some air time in the music stores. As I walked through Sam Goody a few days ago I heard satellite drifting softly out of their speakers. They were playin' uttad straight through...of course, when i started talking to the clerk about dave he said, "yeah, they're really great, oh, and i love this song." strangely, he had never heard of r2t... just a reflection, dan dans@cloud9.net Tower records has the COOLEST DMB poster I've EVER seen...it's huge, about 3' x 8', w/ full-color airbrushed pix of all the band members and an uttad logo on the far right. i think it's even autographed by dave and carter. Unfortunately, there's a big sign under it - "NOT FOR SALE." :-(Top Permalink
It has this amazing version of Minarets. They play the song and then they play this jam which is very mellow and very long. I wasn't paying attention the first few times I listened to it and I thought it was a separate song, but then I realized there wasn't a break between the music and the transition was very smooth so I figured it was some special ending I just hadn't heard before. If anyone can ID this or knows what I'm talking about let me know. As a definite ID for the show, just in case I'm off on the date there is a point where Boyd comes up to introduce Dancing Nancies and he says "this is a song about things which were or could have been or may be, if you take a look at Peter's new haircut I think you'll know what I mean...."Top Permalink

I am disgusted with z100's selfish commercialism, for without them, I, like most other dmb-loving newyorkers would be attending any dmb concert in the tri-state area. They don't deserve to play music as good as dave's. They haven't even heard of any songs other than WWYS. Another bad note - they played BT's runaround the other day, and called it dope-smoking music. Their taste in music goes up every day...ImHO they should stick to their moshing/crowd surfing music and drag away all the losers who think these things should be done at damaba shows. I also heard their email was z100radio@aol.com, or both. Either way, we should send them LOTS of mail telling them what we think about dmb, and stupid radio stations who think they've finally discovered good muusic. (ranting finished) Does anyone know if z100 (or anyone else) will be broadcastimg this show? If not, is anyone lucky enough to have tickets going to try to tape the show? Maybe if i got nynex to block all calls to 1-800-242-0100 except for mine, i could win tickets :) tftbw, dan dans@cloud9.netTop Permalink
I've got this show from TRAX it is 1/13/93 I'm almost positive. It has this amazing version of Minarets. They play the song and then they play this jam which is very mellow and very long. I wasn't paying attention the first few times I listened to it and I thought it was a separate song, but then I realized there wasn't a break between the music and the transition was very smooth so I figured it was some special ending I just hadn't heard before. If anyone can ID this or knows what I'm talking about let me know. As a definite ID for the show, just in Trying to help ID songs without the show in front of me has gotten me in trouble the last couple of days, but here goes... The song that you are thinking of is most probably 'Blue Water.' If the words are something like "walking by the river's edge, reach my hands to cup the sky," this is definitely Blue Water. Boyd often goes crazy at the end, forming a really trippy jam... Oh yeah, it always follows Minarets, I believe. What is trippy, anyway? AndrewTop Permalink

Ello, Just wanted to express my gratitude to all those who have sent me their tapes. My collection is slowly, but surely, growing. On the same note, everyone who is supposed to send me tapes and have not yet, or just sent me tapes within the last week, please write to me personally and let me know where I stand. This is not because I'm trying to be a pain in the ass (although I sure I am) but it's because there has been some problems with people working in the mailrooms stealing things, so I just want to make sure nothing has been stolen. So please write and let me know whats up... Thanks alot, in advance... Ok, sorry if that doesn't apply to you. A little piece of uplifting news. I am a DJ at WAIH 90.3 FM SUNY Potsdam, and I have a show where I play songs from artists that don't normally get played. Anyways, last year before it was the big hit its become now, I played WWYS for a couple weeks, then I did an unofficial pole, to get audience response. Well overwellingly, people loved it. The last few weeks I started playing Warehouse, and again, a large number of people called in and said they loved it! This time I asked why, and I recieved answers like "It's a nice change" and "it's not Seattle" and alot of "really beautiful sounding". I asked quite a few callers if this was because it was another DMB song, and alot of them hadn't even known it was... That makes me feel like there might be hope for the human race after all...

I just got my 30 free tapes, in only about 3 weeks time!!!! 30 free tapes!! Maxell sends all the tapes in individual packages, and this time they are not even reusable!!! Very bad, 30 large hunks of useless cardboard! Anyone know a way I can get in touch with Maxell to complain about this horrible and stupid waste? An e-mail address would be great, but probably to much to ask for. If this concerns anyone else (and it should) get in touch with me and we can get some serious complaining in!

I would love to talk on IRC... if I only could figure out how. Don't ask me to ask my my computer people here at uncg...that would definitely be a lost cause. Anybody care to do a little teaching?? -Dash :) Hey out there, Anyone interested in talking on irc? Telenet? If so, it would be cool and beneficial for people to "/join #minaret"and talk/answer questions or whatever. It may be something like #phish, but with DMB at the discussion table. Any questions/comments/mor info. e-mail me personally. This is my first post and hope it is appropriate. "What I need, Is all around me" Jon :)Top Permalink

This is the first Dave Matthews tape I've gotten (and one I'm really psyched about) but the good friend of mine who gave it to me lost the setlist, the place and the date. However, it shouldn't be that hard for you all to identify. It's the tape with Trey and John Popper when they play Watchtower together. Thanks for the help. And by the way. . .I'm open to trades.

just listeneing to killer 4th gen. sbd. tape from landover, md.(3/20/91)--first off, this is what a 4th gen. tape should sound like, unlike the vast majority of dave tapes i get; also, during the break before "rooster", you can hear one of the roadies say "you're perfect...your hair's perfect, bobby"!! as he's getting ready to tear one and all's ass up..which they do...i'd be happy to provide a copy of this show to all interested, both because it sounds WONDERFUL!, and to maybe heighten folks taping consciousness a bit, and therefore preserve all the great shit dave and others are laying down presently--it's a crying shame to have ecstatic sbd. tapes ruined by dirty or partially functioning equipment, or simple lack of knowledge.. i'm happy to help out--enjoy the jams!!Top Permalink
To all Dave fans, Here's one for you. I had ten free hours of America Online to waste and my screen name is DaveMathws, I got an email from some guy in TN who thought I was Dave, it's a good read and I was pretty amused. Just goes to show you what kind of gullible people we have in the world. Thanks guys and enjoy! P.S. Anoyone think this guy's been smokin' the pipe. Thank you very much for your band. Out of all the cd's and bands I follow to see yours is on the top 4. I travel constently to see the Dead, Phish, You guys, and now because of you , Rusted Root. Don't let go of those guys Rusted Root and you are a perfect cmbo. The only thing beter would be you and Phish together on a tour. All four of the bans I mentioned, including you, have an energy that us heads are addicted to. No uther drug in the world can compare to the excitmeny and the tingling feeling I get when I am at one of your shows. Kepp up the good work, and try to get around the Knoxville, TN area as much as you can. I have many people here who are absolutly jonesing for your healing music. THANKS, WitheldTop Permalink
this is my first time posting and i hope to broaden my tape collection here. I've got really good recordings of Dave and Tim Reynolds at the Birchmere, Movie Palace, Wetlands, and a good recording of both sets of new years '94 and '95.

hey now! speaking of hearing DMB in strange places, i was in a CompUSA store in baltimore one sunday, and what did i hear as i entered the place but.... TYPICAL SITUATION!!! I heard this during christams time on the blues/classic rock channel on Digital Cable Radio (which is satellite fed). Very cool. When I was a senior in high school, I worked at a "hip" resaturant in Tulsa that served New Orleans style food. We usta always play Blues Traveler's first disk. At the restaurant I work at now, I kept R2T in the tape deck until I broke the damn thing. People would always ask---- who is this? It's great! victor (procrastinating chem...)Top Permalink
I've got this show from TRAX it is 1/13/93 I'm almost positive. It has this amazing version of Minarets. They play the song and then they play this jam which is very mellow and very long. I wasn't paying attention the first few times I listened to it and I thought it was a separate song, but then I realized there wasn't a break between the music and the transition was very smooth so I figured it was some special ending I just hadn't heard before. If anyone can ID this or knows what I don't know the specific show you are refering to, but it sounds like a Minarets - Blue Water. I have a number of other shows where they play this jam, and it is very mellow and very long, like you said. A fantastic jam. Does anyone know if they ever do this anymore? Or is this a jam which ended once Peter left?Top Permalink

Hey I pulled this off the newsgroup. victor ------------------ Hi Last thursday the DMB played for the second time in one year in Amsterdam (he will return to this country in may for The Pinkpop Festival) We - Veronica Radio, which you can compare with the US NPR - recorded his first show (11-94) and together with the interview I made, we broadcasted that concert last friday. I talked with him for 40 minutes and this is maybe interesting for you **"Cry freedom" will appear on the new DMB-album. (A song inspired by the book & film of that South African journalist) The recording of their new album will start in august or september '95. The band wil take a rest after the end of this tour. **He noticed the existence of this DMB-newsgroup and he likes to thank everyone who contributes to this newsgroup.. **He's aware of the AIDS-rumours and (without asking him because I consider them more than disgusting) he told me that it's all f**** bullshit... Because the DMB is quit unknown in Holland we talked a lot about the early days of this band (how they met and all those cliches). Amsterdam is his favo city...and I believed him. Before he formed the DMB he was in Amsterdam, played on the streets and (together with a friend) he sold African stuff (well stuff...).. I hope I helped the DMB-fans with this information !! And you're all Best Jan Hoogesteijn janh@euronet.nlTop Permalink
Joseph, Everyone on the net has heard the rumors, so saying it again won't solidify anything at this point. I'm not trying to be rude, but I guess we're all in denial - even if the damn rumor is true. It is obvious how much everyone on this net loves Dave, the band, and most of all, the awesome music that they have given us; therefore, no one wants to see a tragic ending to any of the above. In an effort to find-out the truth about all these rumors, I called Coran Capshaw (DMB's manager) and John Alagia, the band's producer and close friend of David's. I have been an friend of Dave, Carter, and John Alagia for about two and one half years, and everyone I have spoken with has assured me that Dave is fine. As for MTV and CNN, I don't know where the hell they got their information, but it has caused much pain and anger to Dave, the band, their management, and of course, all of us - the fans and friends of the band. I'm sure that Dave will do something to address this after they return tonight, but until then, let's all (on the net - the truly informed) do what we can to hush these stupid rumors, and let the band and David handle the rest. We owe it to them. Respectfully, Eric EricsonTop Permalink

Hey fellow minareters, We're a radio station in New York City, and the first to play this band's music...exposing them to millions of new people, and for that they will make millions of dollars in sales, and for that we rightfully say helped their success. People like you are important for a bands career in the beginning, but resent it when they become successful. The bottom line is you resent us making them rich, admit it. Ummmmmm...... hard to argue with that kind of logic now isn't it? I happen to be a fan of DMB's, but I don't want them to succeed....that's quite an amazing way of looking at things. I don't see why these people don't realize that we just don't want DMB to end up a victim to this type of bullshit. ************************************************************************* * "So maybe I could be a fly, and feed arachnid as I die." * * -Trey * ************************************************************************* *Chad Heald (ch5m@andrew.cmu.edu)*"Great spirits have always encountered* *Box#702 Donner Hall * violent opposition from mediocre * *Carnegie Mellon Univ. * minds." * *Pittsburgh, PA 15213 * Albert Einstein * *************************************************************************Top Permalink

i just got back from seeing Harry Conick, Jr. and since you all seem to like my random little stories, I will share this super-groovy one with you.... I was walking home from class today, when I see my security guard friend by the R.D. Auditorium on campus... so I go over and start talking to him. From inside, I can hear this amazing funk and I ask...who's that? and he tells me it's Harry Connick. I'm thinking,no, Harry C. is the guy with the piano and the mellow voice.. this guy is FUNKY. But, no, it really was Harry, doing his soundcheck. Well, I have never paid a LOT of attention to Harry C., so I didn't really think much about it. I start talking to the techies who come out to smoke their ciggies and they are all totally cool. I'm talking to these 2 guys who i thought were tech and suddenly realize they are in the band! Woa! so anyway, they were all so groovy. This one guy, who's name, coincidentally, is Harry, also toured with DMB and BHT... he told me that dave et al are the coolest band he has ever toured with (like I didn't know that!) and we spent about 45 minutes talking about DMB... Okay, anyway, it's show time and I'm thinking if i sit out on the loading dock, it'll make nice background music for my homework. Harry (the tech guy) says "Man, I wish I could let you in...sucks to be stuck out here.." and the house manager pipes up "Aw, let her in man...it's cool." I hadn't even considered actually SEEING the show... wow! So, I walk in during his first song and sit by Mr. Sound Man for the most AMAZING concert... It's the first on his tour, so they are all totally fresh and pumped. They were jumping around and dancing everywhere. Jonathan (guitarist) and Harry were just having a great time together! If anyonme has a chance, I TOTALLY recommend this show. It is pure funk new orleans jazz....INCREDIBLE stuff...and of course, I didn't get an autograph.... can someone repost the address for that stupid radio station that thinks they have some sort of claim on Dave?? They need a good talking to. G Are there many bands that will let you tape and distribute their shows? Just curious.... I forgot what else I wanted to say..... SHUT UP ALREADY!

Hey...to all who replied about my search for the last Peter show, thank you very much. I think I found a good trade though. Anyway, I'm now looking for a new tape, and I hope someone can help me. Does anybody out there have the American University show from 12/30/94? It was the first show for a friend of mine and her birthday is coming up. I thought it would be a good present. To those who care, I have a friend who has the RSO show and he is dubbing it for me right now. I haven't heard it but my friend said there was some background noise on it. It's still worth having though. Anyone who wants it, send me private mail with what you think is a fair trade from your collection and I'll definitely get back to you. But my first priority is to find the A.U. show. By the way, if anyone wrote me in the past week (?Tommy?), I didn't get my mail because my server was down. So if you wrote me please write again. Sorry. I'll give out my address by private mail only so if you want to trade, send me private mail. Thank you. P.S. I also got a 2 CD boot of DMB at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem if anyone is interested in copies. The same offer applies as above. Thanks.Top Permalink
Hola , I was just sitting home last night listening to the 12/30/94 show and channel surfing when I came upon the Millionth? MTV Rock and Jock Celebrity Show how little athletic ability we have show. I had a very shuddering thought. What if Dave becomes so big that he actually participates in one of these degrading things?? I get ill just thinking of the ramifications of such an event. I really hope something like this never, never happens. BTW I AM SO SICK OF THESE HIV RUMORS!!!!!!!! LEAVE DAVE ALONE!!!! Just my 2 cents.........

If any of your boots have Dave alone, you can really hear how great his guitar playing is. Just a thought. Peace Charles Fact is, Dave is not technically that good. Compared to Santana or Trey at least, I think that he comes yp short. So not that good, I suppose is not the right term. Maybe, not the best would bebetter.

Guys.... back. Wow. Please respond to them and let them know how you feel. I think it's kinda important, considering they think we're assholes. Cheri, The only thing I have to say, and you can pass this on to your little The Dave Matthews Band has been waiting for this for a long time. Success. And you people don't like it. You don't like the truth, that the band is on a promotional bandwagon, just like any other band, and they want to make money just like any other band, and they're releasing singles for RADIO (that's us), to thrust album sales, and we're the first radio station in New York City to give them massive exposure (and you assholes resent it), and we're helping the band to their means and they give us a concert in appreciation, and you people are just bitter angry little grannys who don't want it that way, you want them to remain the anonymous underground DMB, that noone else has heard of but your 'cool' friends. Well you SUCK. We don't want plankton like you listening to our radio station. You elitist bastards. You think you own something just because you found it first? Well fuck you for not sharing. We did discover the DMB...to MILLIONS of new fans in New York City, and you didn't want that, did you? You lost easy access to your band (can't get into the show now huh?) and you resent it...you don't want to blame your heros (DMB) for joining the mainstream so you find an easy target...Z100...well keep sending the hate mail...we LOVE deleting it.

I'm a newbie to the newsgroup so excuse the more than likely stupid question. Is there a digest for the Dave Matthews Band or just the newsgroup? Just wondering because I've been getting 40-60 messages a day. It would be nice to get them all together like the +Live+ or Toad digest. Right now I don't mind wading and saving, but I see it getting tiresome in the near future. Thanks for any help.

I sent this based on Silly Rabbit's forward from obnoxious man. You may not agree but it lowers the hostility level. Just a thought. Human Newman-- G'head. Keep playing Dave Matthews all of the time. I think it is a good idea--honestly. Nobody owns the music--not our little newsgroup, which you so kindly lumped into one erroneous perspective (not mine), not even wondering if someone else had a different opinion. Not you, even with your damn singles and the other crap that your station plays when the good DJs aren't on. Not Dave, he sold it to the record company, at least some of it. Besides he plays it and it's out there to be taped by people at concerts or recorded by a label. Not the record company, they didn't create it, and they probably don't even listen to it. But maybe you could play different songs once in a while. Please. (What's the rule on singles, anyway? Do all radio stations have to play songs to death before they move to the next one? Can you only play "singles" or can you play whatever the hell you like off an album?) I have nothing against any band going for money. That's what everyone in the music business does to some extent, no matter how far they blow sunshine up your butt about the integrity of the music. That's why concerts are in stadiums. I doubt you're a DJ because you just love music; judging by your nickname, many a mall appearance has padded your bank account. There's no such thing as the mainstream when your radio station plays Dave Matthews Band. There's no such thing as alternative anymore--not when Nirvana does unplugged. People shouldn't be pissed off at you--you can't help it. The problem is, mainstream and alternative are so mixed up that you can't hear good music without hearing crap anymore, no matter who you are, because if you like the pop sound you can't get it without the harder-edged stuff interspersed. Mariah Carey and Springsteen and Hootie and the Blowfish and the notorious BIG and Salt n Pepa are all together singing happily on "mainstream" stations. Good segues on ANY radio station are hard to find. Market share, or something like that. Sure, we worry about Dave Matthews going mental and turning into the Spin Doctors and sucking. But what helped precipitate that most unfortunate decision to go vanilla was the fact that radio stations played two princes into the ground. So do your part. Don't play just one song to death. (Play 'em all.) We'll count on Dave not to turn into crap. Molly P.S. I'm not plankton.Top Permalink
gosh, this seems to come up on all discussions concerning up and coming bands... "We found them first, we don't want them to go mainstream..." blah blah blah... fighting over ownership or what have you... please... I hope that's not what i'm actually reading here... I left the Rusted Root listserv for reasons just like this.. it just got ugly and out of hand and at first I thought this listserv was different... I'm still hopeful that people won't bicker about the bands success and going mainstream, that's how groups get on top... and that's how bands continue to be around. Direct your own life I guess, cuz you certainly can talk til you're blue in the face here about "your" band and they're still gonna do what's best for them. I guess that's good advice for everyone in the long run. :-) geeze, not a very nice first post huh? sorry about that, I've just been enjoying the banter back and forth and saw alittle ugliness... anyone have some crispy crispy sbd's of DMB for trade? I have tons of high quality Dead to trade in return. Seems like a lot of tape trading going on... anyone have news on the recent tour schedule? please re-post or email it to me... thanks in advance. ppps and kindness Barb blewis@atcc.orgTop Permalink

you had BETTER believe that this assfuck is going to hear a thing or two from me. there are bands that are out there to only make money, and there are bands that are out there to play but make a living doing it.

Hi all! I'm here in Israel now, a country where WWYS is more like "What did you say? By whom?" and where Phish is still best served with Tartar sauce, but I did want to share a little humorous bit of DMB with you. I happened to have my walkman and bagbys with me, so it was only natural for me, after a nice salty dip in the Dead Sea, to start to listen. The song "Jimi Thing" came on, and, as the words "...if you could keep me floating, just for a while" came on, I started laughing really loudly, much to the dismay of my friends. You see, in the Dead Sea, the high can do is...FLOAT! So after I had been floating, I heard Dave asking to float. Maybe a concert in Israel :-) DavidTop Permalink
I was cruising home yesterday down a winding road that people drive way to fast on... had my 3/5/94 DMB tape playing loudly... forget which song it was too, and forget the saxophone players name but anyways, just as I passed the car that was pulled over these high school kids were walking by and laughing and exactly at that time the sax player pulled off some sort of "yack yack yack" laughing at you sound... it told the story perfectly... all in the fleeting matter of seconds... well, sometimes the day is alittle more in tune than others... I'd like to think that this was an "in tune" day. :-) on a small scale of course. ;-) ppps and kindness BarbTop Permalink
