whats up with Willmington?
RTOOLE@MUSIC.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Apr 6 18:50:59 1995
OK whats goin on. Is the Willmington show really canceled? or is it
going to be on the 16th. me and some friends are driving up from
Athens Georgia and really need the facts. I would actually it rather
be moved to Sunday(Easter) cause I saw them last Easter in Richmond.
2 Easters in a row, what could be better?
Thanks for any info. and see Y'all in Willmington, can't wait I haven't
been to a show since 12-30-94 in DC.
thanks again

Re: Dave Matthews Band (fwd)
KBURESH@ecrc.gmu.edu Thu Apr 6 19:50:57 1995
Well here's a more civil response from "Human Numan". Please tell me how
this man has so much time on his hands that he can reply to all of our
letters!
Anyway.....
***** I need to get in touch with the guy from California (I think Davis,
CA) who sent me blank tapes. If you see this please e-mail me and tell me
which tapes you want me to make for you. (You didn't leave a note in your
envelope.) Thanks!
Hi Kim,
I read your letter...we're not taking credit for anything. We are one of
the
only radio stations in New York playing Dave Matthews, and for that you
should be thanking us. We are giving them the exposure they so long
desired.
they would just plug in to a toaster & play for 2 people, instead of
releasing an album to a record label and selecting a cut for RADIO (that's
us), and releasing it as a single to thrust album sales. It's all
methodical...and sorry to break this to you, but the Dave Matthews Band is
part of this big machine. Believe me, they're not complaining... Why?
things...if you disagree, send them a letter requesting an account for all
of
their money, i'll bet they're not giving it away to stay the way they are.
And Z100 is an end to that means. We give them HUGE exposure, they get
rich,
we get ratings, which gets advertisers, end of story.
One last thing...why are we suddenly "onto" the Dave Matthews Band? Because
the key to success (=money) is timing. And the time was right for all
parties involved.

does dave make the choices?
McMoe@aol.com Thu Apr 6 19:51:38 1995
I would be willing to bet, although I don't know, that Dave really doesn't
choose everything his band does anymore (like promotions, singles, etc...)
regard for music or anything for that matter.
any comments? anyone know who REALLY runs the show?
peace

The project is on email, worldwide communication in seconds!!!!.
We are trying to get as many messages from different countries and
cities around the world, just by posting this to a few USENET

PEOPLE magazine, we're sorry if it might be off topic but we were
trying to get widespread general worldwide distribution of this note.

(If your primary language is other than English please write
a greeting along with an english translation)
Date and time sent!!!!

What channel will Dave pop up on next?
j280a_5@CVAX.IPFW.INDIANA.EDU Thu Apr 6 21:24:29 1995
Hey everyone? How's it going?
Well, this is kind of in response to Jeff's (Clogboy@aol.com) post. Don't
you think that it would be cool if DMB did some sort of show for PBS?
What do you think? Hmm...maybe Dave and the boys could go on
Sesame Street. ...Big Bird, Dave, and all the little kiddies...
Dave would sit on those big cement steps with his guitar, as all of the
little kiddies watch in awe.
It was just a thought.

Hey, did any of you catch the show last night sponsored by that pathetic Z100
radio station? I heard it was a hot setlist. A friend of mine went and said
it was increadible. They played So Much to Say(!) and two new songs. Wow!
wanted to get some other opinions of the show. Also, one last thing. I am
looking all over for a GOOD copy of the Dave show from 12/8/93 at FZ, both
sets. I was given the tapes of it but they were very poorly done and I am
looking for a good copy of it. It's an amazing show, their last regular
wednesday show at the FZ. Well, thanks a lot. Take it easy

i found out today (and got tix too) that the samples are playing catholic
univ. in washington, dc on april 20th at 9 pm.
i was wondering who else is going?
maybe we can meet?
maybe we can set up some trades and save some postage and aggravation over
snail mail?
does anyone know if you can tape at a samples show?

video shoot @ NYC
GRANDINETTI@MURRAY.FORDHAM.EDU Thu Apr 6 23:19:19 1995
i just got back from the video shoot for "ants marching". it was pretty cool.
i heard that song about 30 times....the director was this clark gable look-a-
like guy with a bad attitude. he kept telling us not to do "that dance thing"
but instead to "just mill around". as if we were ants or something? dave and
the band were really cool about everything though. they were laughing at the
director with me & my friends. stefan was more trashed than anyone by far
and the whole band was really cool about giving autographs. i actually got to
stand where dave stood when he sang. they needed someone about dave's height
while the band was resting to stand in his spot to adjust the cameras for
different angles and stuff, so this really anal dirctor comes up to me and
tells me to go to the other side of pier 64 and stand on this X on the ground
right in front of the microphone and pretend as if i were singing. then he
took me around to meet the whole band, who gave me all autographs and were
mock thanking me in front of the director and then made fun of him as soon
as he left. there i was--making fun of the ants marching video director
with the whole DMB!! i couldn't even make it to the concert last night. i just
showed up today and met the band, possibly even got myself into a video.
there were only about 120 people there and we all tried to do what the
director said, but he wouldn't let us have fun or dance while DMB played;
he just wanted us to converse with one another and mill around in the back
of this warehouse on pier 64. it was pretty random, but probably the only
time i'll ever meet the band.

Academy Show + DMB Taping Policy
FattyMgee@aol.com Fri Apr 7 00:25:11 1995
Well, as most of you guys have already heard, the show at the Academy was
incredible. So I won't bore you with things you've already heard.
ed to tape the show. He told me that they were recording the show tonight to
be on a future album, and that taping probably won't be allowed for a while.
about the new album, and he didn't really say much about it. I guess it
won't be out for a while. He did say that someone was cataloguing all of
Dave Matthews' songs on equipment with seperate tracks. I talked to him for
a little while, and he was a real cool guy. I asked him if he had replaced
Bagby, and I was surprised as hell when he said, "I am Bagby!" I saw that he
had a tape of the show, but then he gave it to another guy. Before I could
talk to that guy, I was kicked out of the theater by some bitchy lady. I
guess it's only her job, but those people annoy the shit out of me.
couldn't get their hands on this whole show. It's just not the same without
Davespeak. If anyone knows how I could contact Bagby, could you please let
me know? He said he used to have an E-mail account but it became impossible
to check while he was on tour. Or if anyone has access to a copy of this
show, please, please, let's set up a trade. I am dying to get a copy, and my
life will not be complete until I have one.
Mark.

First of all, I never clarified this from the beginning, our station's email
address is kind of an orphan task, that noone really want's to take care of
sometimes. A few of us pitch in extra time, and do our best at replying to
listeners questions, taking feedback, and filtering some of it to management,
and passing copies on to individuals mentioned in the letters we get. Bottom
line, it's a volunteers job.
On a particular recent day, I don't know what was in my coffee, but I got
some hot flames, and retaliated on a personal level. The opinions were no
longer official...it was me against "them". I stepped into the ring and used
ever dirty word I ever learned. The next thing I knew...I was the cyberspace
answer to Rodney King. I was pummelled by a newsgroup. This is a very
sobering thing.
We got completely sidelined away from the original intent.
The point has been lost indeed. I know it's hard for some people to let go
of the past, what's done is not done...etc. But I'd like to start over.
business why we are playing Dave Matthews...etc.
We never ever stated that we discovered the DMB. We were simply excited about
an event that DMB had agreed to do with the radio station, and it was not
intentional to slight anyone. I can remember my boss, telling me to play the
song WWYS, for the first time...he was in his car; and said "man listen to
that song! It's great!" he was right. It was uniquely fresh. I can't speak
for everyone, but the first several times I played it, I pumped the volume
really loud in the studio. When a dj really likes a new song..it's sort of
like dating. The first few dates you are so excited and you can't wait for
the next time. Then you become familiar with that person, or song, and it
still has it's moments (sometimes I pump it, sometimes it's just on), and
eventually you get used to having it around. Some, you move on.
Some you keep. The point is...DMB was one of those really hot first dates.
order slip that came with the new CD and thought...wow...self marketed. I
won't go on and on here...just want to make my point that in general we agree
that this band has something. I have especially learned, that above
everything else...it has some pretty loyal fans. Thank you all for your
time.

hi. i hate z100 as much as the next person, but mailbombing them is not a
cool idea. i hate to piss on all of your rage (and maybe mine) but the fact
of the matter is that mailbombing will only harm the sites that the mail has
to travel through. for those unfamiliar with net topo, it boils down (real
simply) to everything goes everywhere, and mailbombing only brings down
others. however, an alternative exists, which is even more fun. you could
try fax bombing them. best part???

Fwd: DMB
JThomps34@aol.com Fri Apr 7 02:39:36 1995
Hey All,
send this one. Sorry I didn't include my message to him, but it basically
said that I wanted them to just play the music and lay off the hype. I
figured that the band got where it was by people spreading the word that the
music rocked and it should continue that way. No Z100 hype, no MTV hype,
etc. I know that this stuff will go on, but I said that I didn't care
because no Dave-come-lately DJ's say anything on my bagbys, and I'll bet that
they don't talk on yours! Give it a try sometime. Instead of listening to
the radio and catching a studio WWYS, listen to a cool bagby and listen to it
live (I love the live version of WWYS) as well as all the other incredible
jams by the boys. Why put up with all the shit when you can just enjoy DMB
as it was meant to be heard -- as dictated by the band.
of returning flames? I don't know. Talk to you all later on...
PS- I have an interview today (Friday 4/7/95) for a programmer position with
America Online. Maybe I can straighten the thing up a little for everyone on
it!
---------------------
Jeff, Thanks for the note, it's a relief to see someone who is strictly
listening to the music, and not concerned with all the peripheral shit.
That's what really counts in the end doesn't it? I should hope that the band
has a lot of fans like you!

Next DMB single, random questions
earoney@Princeton.EDU Fri Apr 7 02:42:28 1995
Hey all,
few substantial questions/comments to post...
-- There have been a few speculations about what the next single's going
to be... I was at the local record store and in their computer, "Jimi
Thing" was the only single listed. There was no release date, and the
people at the store knew nothing, but it looked pretty official...
-- Nice to see that our friend Human Neuman decided that having 800+
potential listeners pissed off and armed with phones and computers was
not a smart career move...
Minaretters... can you imagine it? no crowd surfing, moshing, or any of
that crap, just a lot of people who totally (or most of the people)
appreciate the music... ahhh, well, we all have dreams!
this summer? They sure as hell need some time off, but I can't wait for
them to come back east!
XLIIs? Mine are perpetually falling off, and i figured someone out
there's got to know...
of your Lafayette tapes -- they're going out tomorrow -- and they're
first gen (I forgot to tell you).
-- OK, even though I myself am just out of newbie ranks, if you've
gotten this far and you have no tapes yet, I'll spin copies of that very
sweet (thanks to Erik Tiekden) Lafayette 2/25/94 show for the first
five legit newbies who send me a bit about how they got into DMB, their
first concert, etc.
Well, hopefully there's no flammable material in here, but if there is,
just let me know -- nicely! -- so I can fix it. Oh, and if anyone knows
what's going on with the newsgroup (i.e. what the hell are they posting?)
and you have some spare time, let me know -- I still can't access it!
Later,

Viva Las Vegas
BaeuC@aol.com Fri Apr 7 02:58:35 1995
Hey Now -
Ok , according to the DaMaBa hotline they ARE opening for the DEAD in Las
Vegas May 19-21! Las Vegas has been home to some hot Dead shows over the
past few years and this could top them all.
Just imagine...
enjoy some pre-show festivities. Then 7:00 rolls around and you get to go
and see DAve and the Boys ripe it up.
This is something that we all look foward to in itself. After a show there
is always a feeling of, "I wish it werent over",.... but wait you still get
to see the Dead!!!! What a night, I can see it now the Dead put on a killer
show, then deep into the 2nd set during space Dave walks out,then LeRoi, then
Bobby & Dave alternate lead vocals and Jerry rips a fat solo, followed by
Boyd& LeRoi.
How about both bands for a Hard to Handle encore, I could see it, it would
Wow, can you imagine....
(ARe you still reading??)
By the way, how many Minaretters are really into the Dead too??, just
curious.
I have to figure out a way to get to Vegas, I have to. ;)
Viva Las Vegas-
Beau
P.S.About z100, I think that this should be brought to the attention of Bama
Rags, and hopefully the band. I dont think they would approve of their most
loyal fans being abused this way

Dave and Dead

In case you still think it is a rumor....David Gans (host of the Grateful Dead
Hour) got a confirmation of this from Steve Marcus (Grateful Dead Ticket Sales
director) that the Dave Matthews Band will open for the Grateful Dead in Las
Vegas in May.
Now this will undoubtably scare the living shit out of Dave Matthews. I mean
this will really scare them. I know that Dave has said at a few shows (with
large crowds) that he is not saying much because they are a little "scared" of
playing in front of so many people. The Silver Bowl holds like 40-50K people,
although there may only be about 20,000 in the stadium when they play. Still
this will be their first STADIUM show, and it will be very interesting to see
how they respond.
I REALLY DOUBT that they will actually play with the Grateful Dead. I've read
many interviews and articles about the Dead and those who have played with
them. The overriding comment is that it is very nerve wrecking to play with
the Dead because they are so tight together. Even musicians like Carlos
Santana and others find it a little scary to be up there with such power and
energy on the stage. It is no small matter to stand up there, fit in, find a
niche, and play with 6 other people and a band that has been playing for 30
years. Some musicians do better at it than others, like Branford Marsailis and
David Murry, but most would not find such an agressive challenge very fun at
all. Given that many of their other openning acts have not played with them, I
don't think that Dave Matthews or any of the other members will play with them.
Neither Sting nor Traffic played with them on stage during their performance.
What we can hope for at best, IMHO, is that Jerry or one of the other members
will join the Dave Matthews Band for a couple of their songs. Maybe
Watchtower as a cover they both do, or another song that they could fit in
with.
I hope that I am wrong, because I would love to see them play together. As a
highly educated opinion, I would not get my hopes up for Dave sitting in with
the Dead in Vegas.
Peace! Eric Doherty "edoherty@macalstr.edu"

50OGLESBY@CUA.EDU Fri Apr 7 04:40:01 1995
hey now!
well, does anyone know whatever happened to The Warehouse Project? for
those who don't know, it was going to be a compilation of all DMB set-
lists. it hasn't been mentioned for awhile now. i would be willing to
take this venture into my own hands. right now, i would like to start
a setlist database for 1995. if anyone out there has COMPLETE setlists
along with verified dates, and venue information for any shows played
so far in '95, please send them to me. i will then put them together and
attemp to put them in the archives. please help me out, as this is a
gigantic project. o.k.? let's get this thing rolling!!! talk to you
later...

Reality Check #1 -
Why in the hell would Bama Rags have an Internet Consultant?!?
No reason! They don't have or need one, it's not like they're a large
corporation like Procter & Gamble ;) If they did need on they surely
would not hire a 16 year old! The information in his sig any one of you
can get from your DMB CDs. This guy is an obvious fraud and he is
obnoxious besides.
funny.......they even told me
they didnt have one..................yesterday.......
ok........so waldo is full of shit......
yep..........
and its too bad, because an internet consultant would be
interesting......if they knew their ass from a hole in their ground....
i think waldo asked me the other day what the saxaphone player's
name was...............

Academy/Ants
228133104@UCIS.VILL.EDU Fri Apr 7 04:48:58 1995
Well, I just got back from a two day excursion with my brother. As posted
before, the Academy show kicked ASS!!! THis was the first time the band had
ever done anything like this together. It was cool too, because after
waiting about an hour and a half in the FREEZING cold they finally opened the
doors and we got front row. I didn't mind sitting at all, the band was so
close. It was also cool because before the show, anyone(Yes anyone) waiting
outside was given a ticket by Mike (the road manager?)...The setlist was
amazing, and the general atmosphere was cool.
Now onto the Video shoot for Ants...5 HOURS! It was really cool though.
I really don't know how it will turn out. Anyway, the band was cool about
signing and just chillin with the 100 or so fans who were there (By the end
the number of us dwindled down to 20-30 of us). Anyway, I talked with the
A&R guy for RCA who signed Dave (Bruce something). He was surprisingly cool.
Dave seemed to get along well with him. Anyway, he said that the band will
be going back into the studio in September to record their new album. He
also said that they are taping every show to get together a live EP (like
recently) out by the end of the fall. He said they wanted to not release it
nation-wide (maybe just to fans or whatever) The new album should be out in
December or January. I was also talking to Dave about what song they were
in Our Graves...Cry Freedom...Get in Line. He and Carter also said that they
were working on a lot of new stuff, like the new song that they played at the
Academy (Great song!) Carter said that it didn't have a name yet...How cool
are the guys. They are so nice, and that Human Numan asshole can shove that
capitalist bullshit up his ass. there is no way that Daves main concern is
money...Anyway, i hate to get vulgar, but some of that dick's responses were
un called for. The real reason they played for Z100 (straight from the RCA
guy's mouth) was because Z100 begged Dave and the boys to play a show with the CCranberries and Live in about Two weeks. Dave didnt want this because they
would be only allowed to play for a half hour or whatever, and they set up
this acoustic thing. That is what the real reasoning behind it was. Anyway,
I digress................
ps- Dave was just singing some Frank Zappa while he was signing stuff..It was
cool as hell............

Re: z100
dmband@va.pubnix.com Fri Apr 7 04:52:26 1995
Numan and send it to Red Light Management via their internet consultant.
Wouldn't it be nice for this DJ, who thinks we're a small group, to get
a big ass-whipping from his station manager? His job is to play tunes,
not to insult his listeners or anyone, for that matter, in the name of
Z100.
Laugh I'm not gonna say 'no', but I won't say 'yes', either!
(Co-workers read Minarets, after all...) Hope this Z100 guy gets screwed
over somehow...

this is a typical adolescent answer, waldo.......
i said....."i *think* this guy asked....."
there is a reason people say they think something, instead of just
saying "this is true"
think about it.......

ok. let me finish my cigarette and i'll kindly respond to this
letter....... i must say, tho.. that this is a peaceful net..
and waldo, dear, as one of the founding members of this net, i will
ever-so-kindly request that you respect the love that we all show here..
and that you give us, as veteran listeners of dave and thee boys, the
same respect that you woudl give the members of the band in person if you
are ever meet them.
Reality Check #1: I've got both of you beat in time on the net. 2 and a
half years here...
let's clarify which net we are talking about.
if you mean internet, then maybe you have more time on that than soem
people. but it sill gives you no more priority over your computer and
yoru modem than it does any of us.
if you mean minarets.net
well..i've got everyoen on this net beat right now with time on this net
(minarets.net) cause i was one of the first few peoples who were sending
out test messages nearly two years ago trying to see if our good old
listserv was set up or not...
i am one of the founders of this net. but it sill gives me no more
priority than teh guy (or girl) who signed up to minarets three hours ago.
we all have equal run here.. and we all make sure that we send only good
vibes and love to our fellow dmb fans...
take note....
Reality Check #2: You've lied. My mother warned me not to do that;
didn't yours? If you had truly called Bama Rags Records, you would have
gotten a similar response to what the originator of the post got.
wanna knwo what my mom always says.....'love other people and be kind..'
course.. she also likes to eat chocolate chip cookie dough out of the
pillsbury tube, but she's got her shit together. and she's got her
priorities straight in life. nothing rocks mroe than choc chip cookie
dough...
and nothing matters more than spreading love and kindness....
maybe i'll give jane tower a call tomorrow and see what she's got to say
about the love and happiness you're 'spreading' around, waldo.. and for
yoru sake i hope it is only nothinig but kind things she's heard about
you so far... because i'd hate to find out that you are taking your
position with bama rags to elevated heights to use it for insulting other
people who are on this net for the knowledge it presents, the friendship
it offers.. the kindness it promotes, and they arent' being paid a cent
to log in to their accounts daily and spread their wealth and warm fuzzies.
Reality Check #3: You lied once again. I did not, to the best of my
knowledge, ask anybody, in times of recent, what the saxophonist's name
was. If I did, I'd appreciate it if you could quote that message.
on a personal level, i call LeRoi 'roi'. and he calls me clare.
quote this if you need to... but he'll tell you about the many glasses of
bourbon and cigarettes we've shared. no one needs to prove anythign
here.. we do not liek it when people are put in a position to have to
prove or disprove something on our net. it is not proper netiquitte.
it is also not proper courtesy, from one person to another.
waldo.. if you have any questions about the band..
their personalities, childhood stories about them... queries about how
shows were in the old days, how shows are in teh now days, songs you've
never heard of, songs you've never heard, questions about dedications to
anne, jane, ashley, etc, questions about other visitors sitting in on
past dave shows.. questioins about how many songs the band has, when they
were first played, when they changned names, how many covers the band
does, what big leage chew is, what color stefan's doc martins are, where
a certain venue is located, how to tape, what a 'bagby' is, and on and on
and on... then please get in touch with me personally.. i can answer each
and every one of these questions for you.... for our sake, i'd liek to
ensure that when you represent bama rags and the dave matthews band, you
know precise answers to questions presented to you... and i'd like for
you to be secure in you sources, and confident in the validity they
represent.
please, respond to me by personal mail. it's most respectful if we keep
our personal correspondence exactly that; personal.
love and light to all..

As a newbie to DMB, I'd like to hear about some (well, all actually) of the
items mentioned above. I know, I could read the FAQ (I've browsed it,
actually) but that's pretty impersonal. I'd appreciate hearing some
positive stuff (like the Academy show and Ants video and hearing from
people who've met the band and such) rather than the other trash (I can get
that from the TV if I wanted).
Cool place, this internet...

Hear hear!!
I'm new to minarets, but I'd much rather see everyone getting along. I
mean, what does it take to put someone down? Nothin. It's easy and even
can be enjoyable. We all like to be important. It makes sense (but you
can't beat sense into humans) to make everyone feel important if it makes
everyone feel better. Just my feelings, but it seems more gets done this
way... Maybe we'd have a bigger effect getting what we want with Z100 if
we did something besides mail/fax/phone bomb them. They like the DMB,
maybe for the wrong reason, but maybe we could do something about changing
their reasoning....
Maybe I'm off base, and if so, I'm open to your reasoning... Maybe it's
just 'cus I don't like getting put down... Waldo's in a pretty cool
position, and if he maybe needs to learn something (don't we all) maybe we
can help teach and he can scratch our back later....
Thoughts.

PS I think it's SO cool to see people offering free tapes of their
favorites! This is what makes people like us (minarete'rs and DMB fans) so
awesome!

Blockbuster Music Store and we play UTTAD constantly. When my boss is

still up..........
DANIELT@tiger.hsc.edu Fri Apr 7 08:41:08 1995
hello all-
well, i am still up. iam having to type quietly because my roommate is asleep
so pretnd iam whispering or some shit like that. youknow that giddy stage you
hit after you've been up for almost twenty hours..............well ima there.
i can't sleep. fucking insomnia. well, i have been thinking about this net
alot lately and how its changed since i have been on here and stuff. i have
only been here 7-8 months i think, but it sure has changed. i don't know if
for better or worse. just change. you know like the change in your pocket?
that kinda change. each to you reach in you pull something different out.
each time i turn on the computer i get something different. like each time i
listen to dave i get something different out of it, especially seek up. that
song fucking rocks. each time i here that song chills go throughout my body.
nothing else speaks to me quite that way. i just got the roseland show from
february today or yesterday......recently. anyway, the first song is seek up
and i was listening and it just hit me differently. that end jam is so
powerful. everytime i hear i can see dave and co on stage playing their hearts
out doing what they love to do. you know one day i hope i am doing what i love
to do. i hope that i am able to do what i enjoy. dave and the boys are so
incredibly lucky.
wow, i just went on a major fucking tangent. where was i. oh yeah, the net.
i was thinking to day about spooning. do you know how long its been since i
have read a nice fat minarets message about spooning? months. is there anyone
out there who remembers those great spooning messages. those were the days,
but seasons change and people too. well, i am over my remembering and i am
going to go drink some warm milk or something to make me fall asleep. sorry if
am too fucking behind on taping. go read another post if you want trades. oh
shit, that will rub someone the wrong way. good night.............tom

OK, lets clear this up for y'all-
The show on the 15th has been changed to the 16th. Yes, this is Easter
Sunday.
This show is in Wilmington, North Carolina.
I'm assuming (as I always assume people are good) that if you can't make
it because of the date change, you can call up whoever you ordered tix
from and cancel your order.
I'm actually kinda psyched they moved the show, cos now I can go see

i can't believe you aren't being courted by bigtime firms who need cyber-
space public relations. i bet that you worked fo Z100 and helped them bring
DMB out out into the public eye. are you and human numan related? are you
one of those 16 year old nerds that has the mentality of a 10 year old? i
wonder if these questions are common knowledge. maybe i should have looked

Dear Waldo,...
Kelly.Hale@uvm.edu Fri Apr 7 19:32:14 1995
Hey Y'all-
pissed a lot of people off, but he's received appropriate feedback for his
adolescent behavior. Now I think it's time to lay off and see if he's seen
the error of his ways. If he decides he wants to fight back and continues
to be a sarcastic little twit then.......MAYBE the following post will be
necessary, but I personally hate to fight a 16 year old on his turf!! Ya
know? It reminds me too much of junior high when a group of friends would
gang up on one of their old friends and write stupid little hate notes back
and forth. Rise above it!!!
Have a good weekend!!
See you in Wilmington!!
LOVE,
kelly

dear waldo,
nice people off. you're doing such a service to bama rags (like i believe
you work there!) by spreading good cheer to the .Net in the name of DMB.
i can't believe you aren't being courted by bigtime firms who need cyber-
space public relations. i bet that you worked fo Z100 and helped them bring
DMB out out into the public eye. are you and human numan related? are you
one of those 16 year old nerds that has the mentality of a 10 year old? i
wonder if these questions are common knowledge. maybe i should have looked
for a waldo FAQ (i bet you've written one!) well, here's to you losing your
e-mail account! good luck trying to find friends here!

May 19th is my Birthday, and I must see this show in Vegas!!! I was
thinking about going to see just the Dead, but now Dave and the boys are
playing I must be there. So, if any of you are planning to driving out
for this show, I need a ride!! I can compensate you with gas money, lots
of fun and other stuff. Also I have a pad in Boulder that you would be
more than welcome to crash at on the way there, back. Please, I really

Orlando tix needed!!!
murmur@grove.ufl.EDU Fri Apr 7 20:21:55 1995
I went to TicketBastard to see if there were any tickets left for
the Orlando show (the only other one in my vicinity), and they have sold
out (ack!). So, if anyone has two extra tickets to the Orlando show that
they can part with, I would very much appreciate it if you could make
them available to me. I have been given a second chance to see Dave, but
if that is taken away from me; lord knows what I will do (probably sob
uncontrollably with a bottle of tequilla in my hand while watching Dave
groove on SNL, wondering what might have been).

OK, I know this is short notice, but I have one extra ticket for the
show tonight (4-7-95) at Durham/Cameron. My roommate is sick and
just can't make it. The ticket is free, if you can call me before
5 at work. After that, I'm on the road to see Dave by myself, and
I'll try to see if anyone wants it at the show.
it's 4:30 now, so you've got 30 minutes. ( I know, but I just found out)
anyway, the number is 919-243-7808 - ask for Alvin

Las Vegas...DMB...the Dead...
This could be the greatest weekend of them all. I'm working on
getting out there for at least one night... I'll be in NY Friday
and have to be in Virginia on Sunday...
why couldn't it be another weekend!
well anyway, what I wanted to say was that Vegas is one of my
favorite cities to visit... if there are some people who need
info on hotels, etc., I can probably help you out with cheap
places to stay and phone numbers.
I'll do my best to reply if you e-mail me personally.
On the Strip (Las Vegas Blvd.) rooms about $55 weekends
Downtown (Fremont St. area) usually a little less $
There are also a few casino properties a little bit
further from the action that are pretty cheap also,
like Palace Station/Boulder Station and Gold Coast.
You can, of course, try the non-casino properties like
Days Inn, Motel 6, Comfort Inn, etc., but that's no fun.
Have fun, and good luck!
Hope to see you there!

DOOK setlist

The show tonight was incredible. Look at the setlist and you'll agree.
The highlight of the evening was definitely the 3 song encore of which
two were new songs. I can't identify them, but let me assure you that
they weren't Cry Freedom, Say Goodbye, Get In Line,Maker, Angel or any other
halfway old songs. I've never heard them at all...The acoustics were horrible
from where I was, so I couldn't catch the lyrics on the new songs.
Satellite got played, but NO WWYS!!!! Creg Bradley cgbradle@email.unc.edu

i know someone else out there had a similar question to this but with
another song...., i think it was say goodbye.
here's mine....an old-ish song, which i love b/c it always makes me smile
and gets stuck in my head for the whole day at a time.....:)
"throw my faith"
i always thought it was called granny, but throw my faith might almost be
a better name for it. does anyone know which one is the official title?
also, during the 10-21-94 show in st.louis, they introduced another new
"I'm tired of waiting hour after hour
and it's a really unique song b/c he goes so high on the "yeeeeaaahhhh...."
has anyone else got a 'leg w/ that song, and if so, do you know the
title?

The official name for this song is "Granny", and the lyrics
have been released by Dave. Check the lyrics file at netspace.org/DMB.
also, during the 10-21-94 show in st.louis, they introduced another new
"I'm tired of waiting hour after hour
I said yeeeeeeaaaaah........
I'm tired of this waiting, waiting

This is definately "Get In Line"!!!!

Cameron Indoor Stadium (4/7/95)
swallis@acpub.duke.edu Sat Apr 8 07:01:11 1995
and a half and I would have to say that it was probably the band's worst
performance. They did not seem into really playing like they used to,
probably because they are constantly touring. The band appeared to be
out of touch with its audience. They did not connect with enthusiasm
that many people had going into the show. Yet, I must say thay I was happy
to see that WWYS was not played, since it would have sent all the junior high
schoolers in attendance into hysterics. As my roommate so eloquently said
it, he had not seen so many people with braces since high school. I long for
the days of DMB's last appearance at Duke-- on the Quad in September of 1993.
I guess this constant touring and RCA requirements have taken their toll
on the band, because they are not the same as when they were the biggest
attraction at Southeast colleges. Such is the price of fame.

what i think

excuse me for being a drunken bastard, but thats what i am right now.
dave and the guys just plain kick ass. dont let anyone ever tell you
otherwise. we're the true fans...i dont care what kind of cracks a
stupid radio station makes on us. that human numan guy can blow me.
maybe if he played other songs off UTTAD besides "WWYS", DMB would get
the kind of respect they deserve from all the people who just like the
single. hey, maybe he'd could even go out on a limb and play "seek
up"...of course, he probably doesnt even know about the existence of
"recently" or "R2T". im sorry, i just have some pent up anger with all
this work ive had lately and i felt like saying something. please
forgive me :)

Duke Show
briggdl9@wfu.edu Sat Apr 8 07:32:38 1995
I just got back from the show and I though it rocked. Some of my
thoughts from the show.
1. Before the show, we were walking by Dave's bus and Carter stuck his
head out and said HI. We hung out with him for about 40 minutes and just
shot the shit. It was cool. He is really a great guy, not to mention an
incredible drummer but that goes without saying. He said they are going
into the studio in Sept. He also said there were no plans for an live ep
which was posted here a while back. Anyway, it was a very cool experience.
2. There were way too many high schooler's there and that mostly
sucked. The five rows directly behind me were all young as hell and sat
during everything except ants and satellite. Thank god no WWYS. Anyway,
I heard one of these teenie-boppers, asked the other what song was Dave
playing now. (It was Warehouse). The other chick said I don't know, I
must be new and unreleased. What the shazz is this?
3. Boyd was on fire tonight. Dancing Nancies rocked hard. Also, it was
nice to hear Lie in our Graves, So much to Say, and two step. Of course,
these little high schoolers had no clue what was going on. They thought
I was mostly weird because I was singing all of the words.
4. I will probably remember more stuff later but I am at a loss here. I
think the fifth of Cuervo had something to do with it.
Oh yeah, does anyone know anything about the two new songs? I thought
the first one sounded familiar. Also, did anyone tape the show?
Sorry for the long message and sorry if it is not coherent, again it is
the cuervo thing. Rock on.

Duke Show!!!!!!
tpl@acpub.duke.edu Sat Apr 8 07:37:40 1995
ago...incredible! That's about all I can say! The whole band was
jamming, and Boyd went absolutely CRAZY!!! It seemed like they were
really excited about being back in the Southeast. Great setlist too,
with a lot of non-album cuts (Lie In Our Graves, So Much To Say, Say
Goodbye, Two-Step) and an encore with TWO NEW SONGS and an incredible
Watchtower. I won't bother posting the setlist, I'm sure it's already
been done, but I'll add some highlights...Boyd's solo on Dancing Nancies
was absolutely AMAZING, he seemed to get more energy the longer he
played...Leroi had his bright spots too, with two solos during a
Watchtower jam...Stephan solo too!!! I've never heard a bass solo from
DMB like that one...jamming! Carter was on as always too. Smiles were
flashed throughout the night, as the band seemed to live off of the
audience's energy. Of course there were the obligatory screams during
the first few chords of Satellite and Ants, but besides that the crowd
seemed to be just really having a great time, and the band seemed to love
every minute of it!
*------- If ANYONE happens to have taped that show, please contact
me...I've got a lot of great shows that would make a great trade...Thanx!

in my book.

Re: Peace - I couldn't agree ...
sseremet@emba.uvm.edu Sat Apr 8 18:03:22 1995
Hey everyone-
air, what they can play, etc. It's sorta lame that they can't just play
what they want, but hey, that's marketing for you...I hate to do it, but
despite a few vicious flames this guy sent out, it seems to me he's just
doin' his job, and I think we should take it easy on him...treat others
as they would y....well, you get the idea - I don't mean to preach, but
we should probably show people how friendly we can be, rather than
nasty...it's not like it was his idea to give all the academy tickets
away on his station...sorry for the lecture - Peace-
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Steve,
I've gotten a few "hell no, we won't forget" messages, but i'm looking
forward to this kind of dialogue. The station uses a system which has worked
for mass targeting for over 2 decades now.
Here are the steps.
A band is signed to a major label. The major label produces an album and
instantly presses up "promo" copies of a single for radio. The record
promotion person meets with the music directors in his local area, and tries
to get airplay based on some statistical data like influential station "A"
or "B" has added the song and is supporting it; sales are strong in your
area, shows sales figures, articles written in local press, reviews of
concerts, college radio support, etc. All this and a strong sales pitch are
brought to the table every Tuesday (known as record add day across America)
at radio stations everywhere. The more influential, the more pressure to get
it added on that station. Certain stations such as Z100 carry tremendous
weight when it comes to factoring a record position on the charts, because of
the number of potential buyers the song gets exposed to.
Well anyway, the music director then proceeds to the Program Directors
office, and they discuss all of the possibilities. He has meanwhile
networked with other influential stations and higher ups in the record
company by phone, and already has an idea which songs he has to take a strong
look at. 3 or so songs make the cut. They get added to the playlist. Most
new songs get moderate airplay at first (1x every 6 hours, or 4 plays per
day), then as they begin to sell, move into hotter rotations, all the way to
the hottest rotation 2 hours & 15 minutes). Theres no time to go playing cuts
all over the album because you lose focus, and the audience becomes too
unfamiliar with the artist. You only have so many slots to fill, and if you
play a different cut each time, you end up losing the audience because they
are tuning in for a favorite cut and you're giving them something totally
different than they're expecting. They like cut 2 but you're on cut 7. The
cut 2, so just wait an hour or two and you'll get it.
The average listener only listens to a radio for a maximum of 3 hours in one
period. In mornings it's so short, literally 15-45 minutes in a car...The
good music it works very well. You win by playing to those numbers,
statistics, etc. It's very methodical. A computer is constantly keeping the
seperation on these songs and giving them their proper rotation. So who
decides? Not me...it's the Band (what single), The Record Company (how hard
they push), the Program Director on our end, then Music Director who
operates the computer.
The rest is all statistical data, compared to call out research (we play
snippets of songs over the phone to thousands of random calls each week and
ask people if it's familiar, unfamiliar, love, hate, or indifferent-each song
is studied), then quarterly we check out the oldies in focus studies,
auditorium tests...it's very mathamatical and calculated)...that's the way
radio (all formats) does it, regardless of what they tell you [with the
exception of college radio]. It's been done that way and I don't know if it
will ever change. Research plays a key role in the decisions...which is
ultimately the people's opinion anyway.
Hope i've helped...

MTV
aricha@freenet.scri.fsu.edu Sat Apr 8 18:25:28 1995
Last night at my friend's house (I don't have a TV) I saw the What
Would You Say video for the first time and I
was all excited! I know y'all don't think the fact that they are on MTV is
necessarily a good thing, but, ya know, I want every chance to see the
boys that I can get. You remember the 1st time you heard DMB on the
radio? You remember how you got really excited and wouldn't let anyone
talk until the last sounds of the song had ended and the next song had
long since begun. You remember how you smiled the whole time it was
playing and kept smiling everytime you thought of it for the rest of the
day? Well, that's how I felt when I saw the video, so you won't see me
trashing MTV. If they give him some exposure, that's what counts,
right? People get a little silly about it all if they don't stop to
think (I know I do)... You get jealous if someone else seems to threaten
your "hugest fan in the universe" status. But you gotta admit, DMB is on
it's way to great things, and if being overplayerd on the radio, adored
by pre-pubescent kiddies, and putting a video on MTV is a step on the way
to that, you won't see me complaining. I trust my boys enough to let
them do what they need to do to get where they want to be.If that means
compromising and playing a special concert for Z100, I may get a bit
nervous, but I'll try to just sit back and wait until they get back to
doing what makes them happy... I could go on and on and on, but I think
I've taken up enough time here... If you wanna know what else I had to
say, drop me an email. Hell, if you DON'T wanna know what else I had to
say, drop me an email. My mailbox has been getting pretty empty lately....

all over the album because you lose focus, and the audience becomes too
unfamiliar with the artist. You only have so many slots to fill, and if you
play a different cut each time, you end up losing the audience because they
are tuning in for a favorite cut and you're giving them something totally
different than they're expecting. They like cut 2 but you're on cut 7. The
cut 2, so just wait an hour or two and you'll get it. It's very methodical. A computer is constantly keeping the
seperation on t...it's very mathamatical and calculated)...that's the way
radio (all formats) does it, regardless of what they tell you [with the
exception of college radio]. It's been done that way and I don't know if it
will ever change. Research plays a key role in the decisions...which is
ultimately the people's opinion anyway.
Hope i've helped...

I don't know if I buy this... the fact that it's a 20 year old research
system, and the fact that most people I know can't stand commercial radio
makes me think there could be another way to do it.
But I guess there is, actually. College radio. Ol' Human said it himself.
Listen to icollege stations, call in and request Granny, or whatever
else you want to hear. BE on college radio. I loved being a dj cos I
knew that for at least 2 hours a week, people could turn on the radio
and _not_ have to hear the same old thing.
So now that we know all about mass media marketing, let's stop bugging
this guy. I think he's redeemed himself.
