I'm still looking for a copy of this show. I have a friend
who said her friend taped the show so obviously somone out
there has it on tape. I'll find out if this guy taped the
show and if he did I'll repost in a couple of days and find
out who wants it. please don't send request now as I'm not
even completely sure if he taped it or not.

(1) besides the songs they cover already, what is the ideal song Dave
Matthews Band should cover. What song would you love for them to cover?
*I think They could do cool things with Crosstown Traffic... Staying
Alive, would be interesting as well.. G
(2) What song that they play moves you the most? Why?
*I absolutly love I'll Back You Up. When I first knew him, he used to
play it all the time, so I suppose that's why. I think it's a great song...
Best of What's Around moves me in a different kind of way... but I'd say
I'll Back You Up is probably the stronger of the two
(3) Is there any bands out there that you would like to see cover a DMB song?
*I don't think there are many bands that could do justice to DMB, but
maybe this groovy band from Orlando whose name I can't for the life of me
remember at the moment...damn, I was just listening to them, too....
(4) give me one positive thing about WWYS.
*It exposed a lot of people to DMB who might have been isnpired to go out
and buy the album otherwise. And now people at least have heard of the
Dave MAtthews Band so that when I start going off about it, they at least
have a point of referrence...
(5) What is yor personal interpretation of warehouse?
* I would have to go with a Gilligan's Island revisited theme ont his
one...no, honestly, I'm gonna pass on this one...I don't wanna take up
valuable bandwidth going into my personal philosophy on anything...I can
get rather longwinded at times, especially when I am procrastinating on a
project that's due tomorrow... :)
So, there ya go...your questions...I know I'm not the first, but if
anyone else wants to reward me for my hard work by sending me a tape, I
won't mind a bit... *smile*

DMB cover tape
BigReed@aol.com Wed Apr 19 00:45:27 1995
THIS IS JUST AN IDEA, as I don't have nearly the number of boots necessary to
pull it off, but I think it'd be pretty cool if someone mixed up a DMB cover
plenty of material to choose from. If anyone likes the idea and wants to
make it, e-mail me and we'll work out a trade for it. CYA

this is an excellent point. i remember the first time i saw dave at the
beacon hill with phish about this time last year the 35-40 people that were
there got a great show and i got introduced to the great music of dmb. then
at the horde at jones beach i could count on my fingers and toes the number
of people who were there as i had the thrill of my life and met dave. the
next show i was at roseland 9/30/94 saw the beginings of the teeny boppers
creeping in the show just weas not the same at roseland in febuary. i was not
here to see it but my freinds complained of crowd surfing ect. the dave we
know is gone for now but we not even as much me but many of you had the
opportunity to experience the greatness of the band in a different atmosphere
this atmosphere is what makes the band special not WWYS it is the closeness
to the band and the music combined.
hope i made some sense i am a tad woozy.

Hey everyone! I have a few questions. During the summer, does Minarets
die down a lot? Personally, I lose my school account when the semester
ends. The second question is in regard to the newsletter that you
sign up for at live shows. How often does the thing come out and what's
it like? Thanks in advace for the info.

This message is for all the people who have my list and have not sent
blanks yet. I can no longer do this offer as finals are nearing and I
originally posted this offer a long time ago and if you have my list,
you've had a long time to send blanks. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone
but I think I helped quite a few people out so I don't feel as bad.
Everybody who lives in/will be in Chicago for the summer contact me and
we'll swap tapes and keep each other informed about shows.

Modern Drummer

In case any of you out there forgot or don't know, Carter is in this month's
(June I think) issue of Modern Drummer..my neighbor subscribes so I got a
peak at the article, or should I say large paragraph. There is a section in
the magazine where they feature some new drummers, and Carter is one of these
people (p. 13) It is an allright article, but nothng new or impressive. Its
just kinda nice to see that Carter is starting to get some of the attention thatthat he rightly deserves for being the most KICK ASS drummer on the planet!!
Anyway, check it out just to check it out...

To all Dave fans,
I need some help with something. I have 25 hours of Dave to trade and
some Freddy Jones with anyone who has any HQ Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley or
other classic rock stuff. Sorry for the lack of Dave content and the
waste of bandwidth but this is for a close friend of mine. By the way, I
hope someone posts something about the Memphis show and especially if
there were any tapes please let me know (that's my hometown, just had to

Re: odds and ends
Clogboy@aol.com Wed Apr 19 07:26:03 1995
questions as best I could.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
(1) besides the songs they cover already, what is the ideal song
them to cover?
Daniel's Band. It would be great to see Boyd do this song!
(2) What song that they play moves you the most? Why?
times and it just sets the whole tone for the evening. Dave introducing it
with guitar, Carter and Stefan join in followed by Leroi...well you get the
point. It brings you into the concert one instrument at a time and by the
end, everyone is just jamming away and Dave's screaming all nonsensical
ramblings and there is just a huge amount of passion and emotion that you can
sense. By the end of it, I'm just in awe and am ready for the rest of a
fantastic evening. The only downside that I can see to it is that there is
Roseland, NYC.
(3) Is there any bands out there that you would like to see cover a
DMB song?
No way. No one could do them justice.
(4) give me one positive thing about WWYS.
Personally, I don't mind WWYS too much. I know it's not one of Dave's
literary masterpieces, but I still think it's a good tune. Also, I don't
really listen to the radio (or watch MTV) so I never hear it being
overplayed.
(5) What is your personal interpretation of warehouse?
Like someone else's post, I mainly listen to this song for the music and not
the lyrics. I've tried to formulate an interpretation of the lyrics, but
there are a few parts of the song that I don't really understand. Anyway,
change around you as you progress and do different things, and trying to
remember from where you came. The Warehouse, IMO, is all of your past
experiences stored up inside your head. Dave is saying, "Remember your past
and act appropriately." "Don't throw away your playful beginnings" while
you "fumble around" trying to find your way in life.
tend to think that there are two different characters in the song. The first
person is the one who is quoted in the introduction. The middle of the song
is narrated by an elder (possibly dead) person advising the younger person
about life. Finally, the conclusion has the young person looking forward to
life, but realizing that he must remember who he is.
Warehouse frightens me. Has me tied up in knots, can't rest for a moment.
than I've got inside of here. The Warehouse slips away." At this instance,
it appears as if it is a young person trying to flee from his past and create
a new and better future. This could be likened to a person's early years
when they want to go out and try new things and see what the world is all
about.
younger person (A from now on) in the introduction "Hey reckless mind, don't
throw away your playful beginnings." As I stated earlier, B tells A to
remember his past while he fumbles around looking for a direction in life.
apparent when A questions what he is doing in his life after thinking long
while staring down at the sidewalk. ("Becoming one in a million, slip into
the crowd, this question I found in the gap in the sidewalk.) A is beginning
to lose his identity and questions what he is doing in life.
and forget who they really are. It is not explicitly stated here, but I
think that the black cats "sell out" and are not true to themselves in order
to obtain certain things, be it money, fame, prestige, etc. This thought is
supported later in the song when Dave writes, "When it's not the colors that
matter." B reminds A that those things are not important as "soon I'll fade
away, I'll fade away."
he finds the pleasure in life again. "This I admit tastes so good." But
now he is bewildered by the fact that it all must come to an end. "Hard to
believe an end to it. How could this rhythm ever quit? Bags packed on a
plane, hopefully to Heaven." He realizes the finality of his life and just
hopes that he will go to Heaven (i.e.--that he has led a good life).
disappear." It is hard to say who is talking at this time. If I wanted to
support my two person theory, I would say it is B, but it's hard to follow
exactly.
love I love to stay here..." At this point, due to the advice from B, A
realizes the importance of his past and is happy about who he is. Instead of
his thoughts at the beginning of the song ("Hoping to find something better,
the Warehouse slips away") he now questions if anything could be better than
what he already has. Is it worth it trying to change who I am, or should I
just enjoy being who I am? "A" finally gives out his own advice when he
tells, "Every man and woman get alive!" Live your life the way you want to.
"fade away."
the Warehouse bare and empty." Here it seems as if it is one last warning
against selling out. Don't overwork yourself or the Warehouse will be bare
and empty and you will forget who you are.
the lack of structure. I know there are a few instances when it's hard to
tell which person is which, but hey, I didn't say it was perfect. Also I
apologize to any females out there who got pissed off by my referring to the
two characters as males. It just made it a hell of a lot easier for me to
write.
What is the most worthless band played on the radio?
This is not a fair question. There are too many worthless bands out there
IMHO.
My$.02

P.S.--Any constructive criticism (please no flames) on my Warehouse
interpretation are welcomed.

hello minareters,
but a long time Dave Matthews fan. This may be hard to believe but it's the
truth seeing how I just figured what century i live in and got a computer. I
was never aware of the taping policy of DMB. I brought a recorder to the dmb
concert here in milwaukee on march 15th (1995), but the dumb security guard
took it. I was wondering what I could do to get a hold of good tapes of past
shows. My mom (bless her heart) always said ask and you shall receive. i've
asked. I am an honest person with a funny name who will do almost anything to
get some good music. I hope I haven't wasted too much of your time. please
e-mail me personally if we can work anything out. Thanx in advance.

THE TANK TALK TAPES (Phish Interview Tree, Part One)
jeg5s@faraday.clas.virginia.edu Wed Apr 19 07:57:48 1995
This is the activating announcement for the Phish interviews
tapes tree, for which I have made labels titled "The Tank Talk
Tapes". This tree represents volumes one through three of the
Tank Talk Tapes; two other volume2 will follow later in a second
tree.
*NOTE*: This announcement is in two parts. The first part/post

lemme know pronto) and you'll have to turn up the volume and be
distorted. But its not the sound quality that's to get lost by;
it's the music, the answers, the giggles, the vision, the energy,
the love.

here rather than eleven. This means things are tightly packed
interview split across two tapes and i wanted them
chronologically placed. (Besides, the total of interview times
alone comes to 252 minutes and 52 seconds, so it has to be three
tapes; to squeeze it onto 3 ninety-minute tapes, you'd have to
swap tapes in the middle of someone's answer; and if you try to
keep whole chunks together, you have to use one 100 min tape. In
one case, the total interview time was *just* under 45 minutes --
i.e. one side of a ninety-minute tape -- but I didn't want to
risk the collection of small changes which might result in
much-later copies missing interview parts.

collapsed alot of them. But, I did use space between interviews

connections, may be apparent.) Filler space has been spread out
before and after each interview, so that even the beginning of

tapes tree, for which I have made labels titled "The Tank Talk

Tank Talk Tapes; two other volume2 will follow later in a second
tree.
*NOTE*: THIS ANNOUNCEMENT HAS TWO PARTS. The first part (not
this one) is an explication of what is on the tapes, how I
arranged them, and why. The second post (this one) is the actual
tree structure. I encourage you to read and save both parts.
Send any questions, comments, or complaints to Ellis, not Jeremy
or the net. There are about 150 listed here, and I'm already
running some separate branches in other net niches, for a total
of around 200 copies planned, plus spinoffs of those. So, there
should be plenty of opportunity for these tapes if you missed the
post. However, there *is* actually still room for a small number
of folks, if you missed the tree, to squeeze into some reserved
spots that were offered but not used. Therefore, the first 10
names I get that can send blanks and postage but missed the tree,
I'll give 10 of those spots.
A "d" preceding a name indicates that that person is getting a
DAT copy of the Tank Talk Tapes.
A "+" before a name indicates that that person expressed a
willingness or plan to send blanks and postage to his or her
parent; those pholks should be finding their parent's snail mail
address and mailing vehr soon.
The masters are off in Wednesday's mail to the root. Let's try to
get this one done in a month, so there are no over-the-summer
confusions.

THE TANK TALK TAPES (Phish Interview Tree, Part Two)
jeg5s@faraday.clas.virginia.edu Wed Apr 19 08:00:19 1995
This is the activating announcement for the Phish interviews
tapes tree, for which I have made labels titled "The Tank Talk
Tapes". This tree represents volumes one through three of the
Tank Talk Tapes; two other volume2 will follow later in a second
tree.
*NOTE*: THIS ANNOUNCEMENT HAS TWO PARTS. The first part (not
this one) is an explication of what is on the tapes, how I
arranged them, and why. The second post (this one) is the actual
tree structure. I encourage you to read and save both parts.
Send any questions, comments, or complaints to Ellis, not Jeremy
or the net. There are about 150 listed here, and I'm already
running some separate branches in other net niches, for a total
of around 200 copies planned, plus spinoffs of those. So, there
should be plenty of opportunity for these tapes if you missed the
post. However, there *is* actually still room for a small number
of folks, if you missed the tree, to squeeze into some reserved
spots that were offered but not used. Therefore, the first 10
names I get that can send blanks and postage but missed the tree,
I'll give 10 of those spots.
A "d" preceding a name indicates that that person is getting a
DAT copy of the Tank Talk Tapes.
A "+" before a name indicates that that person expressed a
willingness or plan to send blanks and postage to his or her
parent; those pholks should be finding their parent's snail mail
address and mailing vehr soon.
The masters are off in Wednesday's mail to the root. Let's try to
get this one done in a month, so there are no over-the-summer
confusions.

Hey all,
was WWYS and before they showed it, the VJ said that there had been a
rumor pervading the internet about Dave and AIDS. He then went on to say
that the band's manager had released an on-line statement denying this.
He reported that Dave and band had just returned from Europe, played on SNL,
shot a new video for their second release (called it by name) and was
continuing with a rigorous touring schedule. He then introduced the vid by
saying, "Here's a healthy Dave Matthews and his band with What Would You
Say."
anybody else need more rumor-dispelling truth?
Lottsa spoons and hugs...

I don't know how original these questions will be but it's worth a
shot...
(1) besides the songs they cover already, what is the ideal song Dave
Matthews Band should cover. What song would you love for them to cover?
Dylan's Rainy Day Women #12 & 36 (I think thats the correct name....please
no phlames if I am wrong). How much fun would Dave have singing this???????
(2) What song that they play moves you the most? Why?
Recently - the suprise lyrics at the beginging (Norwegian Wood, Dancing in
the Streets, On Broadway, Take Me to the River....) and the kick ass jam in
the middle....takes my spedometer to a place my car has never gone before.
(3) Is there any bands out there that you would like to see cover a DMB song?
Hendrix covering Tripping Billies??????
(4) give me one positive thing about WWYS.
Its been said before, but its exposed DMB to a whole new group of fans and
the video is kinda cool.
(5) What is yor personal interpretation of warehouse?
I'm not even gonna try.....
Hey Dan - i like this thread - thanks for the idea!

If there is anyone left here with real taping experience?
I am looking for information on what is required for a soundboard patch.
Indecision is having a reunion gig here on Fri. and I'd like to tape it. I
figure they won't mind, since I have an old sdbd tape of them. My question
is what I need to get a hold of to do this, especially keeping in mind the
fact that they may have someone random on the sdbd who knows little about it
as well. I know its certain wires, but I don't know which. Any other advice
would be appreciated too.

Re: odds and ends
beck74@potsdam.edu Wed Apr 19 17:06:28 1995
Danny-Boy,
I loved your post...I thrive on these kinds of questions and the
conversations they produce. so here are my answers...
1) I wouldn't mind hearing them do "Melissa" by the Allmann Brothers or
"Perfect Blue Buildings" by Counting Crows.
2) I hate to go with the obvious but, emotionally speaking, nothing
moves me as much as "I'll Back You Up". It's lyrics apply so eerily to my
life (I'm sure others as well) that it gets me every time. But what moves my
BUTT?!..."Jimi Thing"!!!!!
3) I've heard Jackopierce cover them and it's good. But what band that
I haven't heard yet?...I'd have to say REM doing "Lover Lay Down",...how's
that for left field?
4) Good thing about WWYS...the lyric, "When the morning rise , a life-
time's passed me by." (And Dave's delivery of it).
5) I'm going to use some space on this one...I've been into Warehouse
lately because the first few times I listened to the album it was my least
favorite song, but now it's one of my favorites. I think that it's message is
to enjoy the moment and not because of its future projections, because nothing
lasts...even the great things. Basically, he's in a Warehouse (a large, empty
building which represents the void left by great people and events when they
fade away) and decides that he's sick of living with empty things so instead of
holding on to the past, he is going to appreciate everything for the here and
now. Thus the line..."When it's not the colors that matter, but that they'll
all fade away." I guess I won't expound on this anymore..it's just, I think,
about the inevitable loss of things in this life and maybe that accepting and
embracing that is healthier than resisting it. (Easier said than done, I might
add).
WORST BAND ON THE RADIO...Stone Temple Pilots (by a good margin).
Thanks for providing me with these cool questions...

reasons like that that make DMB such a great band...

is the most worthless band on the radio? Answer either to me or the

Has anyone out there ever heard of HECTOR? He's an amazing musician, and I
highly recommend him. I have a bootleg of him that I taped when he was up
here last week. I asked him if would be cool him I passed it out to
whoever was interested in getting a copy, and he said it was alright as

Help...
shinters@indiana.edu Wed Apr 19 18:33:19 1995
Well, I have an odd request for all you. My final paper for my mass
media class requires me to write about my favorite band. (It took my AI
about two seconds to guess who I intended to write about). The key to
this paper is to look critically at DMB and how they fit into the broad
catagory of music. I need to analyze lyrics, compare old to new DMB, read
interviews, and interview fans. I knew who I needed to talk to
immediately...
So, for anyone who is interested in helping out a lowly freshman at
Indiana University, I welcome anyone's insight on DMB's place in music.
The general outlook is to prove that DMB will never hold a place in
history as the artists of the 60s because our generation doesn't have a
crisis and Dave will never be THE hero to all. He can only be a hero to
some. I need to look at the messages in his songs to find Dave's outlook. In
addition, in light of all the recent talk about "selling out" I need to
decide if Dave has indeed given up and succumbed to the pressure of the
bandwagon audience or if he has remained loyal to his origional direction.
I value and welcome all of your opinions. You are welcome to e-mail me
personally or discuss on the board. I will be keeping track of everyone's
thoughts. So, if you are bored, drop me any of your thoughts one the
above aspects of DMB. THANKS SO MUCH for your help. Only in college would
I have the opportunity to do this....

so, are you saying just because someone is into drug use such as cocaine or
heroine that their career is going to fall apart? This whole subject
should fall into the same category as sexual preference, meaning, it is
none of your business. If the band for some reason ceases to exist soley
because of drug abuse, feel free to post a big "I told you so" but until
then, don't worry about it. The guys are mature and responsible and can do
whatever they want. Not to flame or harp on you, but that is just how i

ants marching paper
Matthew_McClure@brown.edu Wed Apr 19 20:10:58 1995
About a month ago, I posted the first draft of this paper. I received
several great responses, but the draft was torn to shreds by my teacher. I
decided to completely change it using as the central element a comment made
by Keith. Thanks for all the input. And now for the long awaited analysis
of "Ants Marching".
Dave Matthews' song "Ants Marching" follows a young man through his
regimented routine of weeks, months, or even years. Each morning he rises,
and each night he returns to bed for a rejuvenating slumber. The pattern
continues for what is eternity to the young man. In all that he does, the
young man conforms to society's norm. He never breaks his routine or takes
a chance, and for this the speaker of the poem condemns him. However, he
does not believe that the young man is beyond hope. He urges him to take
chances, lest he should leave his living death and enter the realm of those
who breathe no longer. The young man, exemplifying the conformist
lifestyle, represents the numerous obsessive fans with whom rock stars must
deal; the speaker of the poem stresses that unless these fans want to
become the brain-dead idiots they seem to be, they should take a moment to
examine their condition.
"Ants Marching" begins as an upbeat mixture of drums, fiddle, and
saxophone, but the listener should not be confused by the music. Dave
Matthews does not support the lifestyle of the conformist fans portrayed by
the young man. He once said during a concert in Providence, RI, in
October, 1994, that he often sings "a really happy, groovy song. . . about
depressing things." One should, therefore, not mistake "Ants Marching" for
a celebration of the lifestyle of the young man. It cries to the obsessive
fan, screaming at him to live his own life and to learn to detest the
conformity that he now exemplifies.
The song's title alone leaves no doubt that the speaker abhors conformity.
A marching ant epitomizes conformity, yet, at the same time, it condemns it
for a human. What self-respecting man, woman or child desires to resemble
an ant in any way? Feeling the size of an ant insults one's very
integrity. Before the first note is played, the audience knows that the
speaker of "Ants Marching" does not support conformist behavior.
Dave Matthews portrays his main character, the conformist young man, in a
very unflattering manner. The lack of a name renders the young man without
identity. He is just another male human. One might see him anywhere, in
any city or suburb, at any time of day. His daily routine is regimented,
whether by choice or not. He rises, eats, brushes his teeth, and "he's
rolling". This pattern continues for countless numbers of weeks, but the
young man displays no desire to break it.
His girlfriend, the epitome of the conformist female, and the symbol of the
obsessive female fan, ponders their relationship, but she, too, takes no
action.
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper
The young woman cannot break her own personal mold and take a chance. She
finds herself incapable of expressing herself to the young man, yet she
blames him for his reciprocated silence. The speaker of the poem alludes
here to the lack of personal expression given by obsessive rock fans.
Every one of them is the same.
The third verse of "Ants Marching" depicts a scene from the home of the
young man's mother. The young man, paying a visit to her, cannot help
thinking about the past. He "remembers being small/ Playing under the
table and dreaming" about his future plans. He had great aspirations as a
child, but then, as now, he hid from his opportunities. The symbolism
created by the child "playing under the table" makes clear his true
feelings of fear and bewilderment. The shy fear he exhibits even forces
him to refer to his mom as "mommy". The obsessive rock fan is still afraid
and bewildered. As a defense mechanism, he resorts to imitating those
around him, rather than gaining respect through originality.
The young man's habit of imitation renders him one of many, "driving along
this highway" called life. He is but one of millions of cars on the road.
"All these cars and upon the sidewalk/ People in every direction" fail to
communicate with each other. When reading the poem, it is these people who
are on the sidewalk, but the song allows Dave Matthews to provide a
double-meaning for this couplet. When sung, the first line becomes "All
these cars end up on the sidewalk". The speaker, with this line, warns
obsessive fans not to hide behind the veil of conformity, for if they
continues to do so, they will be thrust rudely from the highway of life and
find themselves on the outside. To evade this cruel fate they must break
their silence for it renders them nothing more than ants marching. The
extended metaphor dictates that they differ in no way from the billions of
little red and black insects which inhabit this world. This parallels the
opinion of the speaker and of Dave Matthews concerning obsessive fans. One
source says, "I was having lunch with [Dave Matthews] once and he made his
french fries dance and started singing. . . and he said, 'at least these
have more identity than crowd surfers and pseudo-deadheads.'"
The final verse finds hope for the chronic conformist and even gives
meaning to the upbeat harmony of "Ants Marching" in spite of Dave Matthews'
comment about his habit of singing happy songs about tragic events.
Keeping the spirit of change, it ceases to speak about the young man, and
rather, speaks to him, and to the audience. Even the rhythm of the lyrics
changes, becoming much more rapid and symbolizing a greater vitality.
It depicts two separate scenarios. The first is that of someone trapped in
a weight loss program which tortures them. The speaker of the poem finds
unhappy. He or she is being forced to withstand horrible pressure in order
to lose weight and therefore please others. The speaker urges this person
to "cut the corners" of this program, to leave a "loose end", if only for
his or her own happiness and sanity.
The second scenario is quite similar. The issue is unclear, but the
concerned party is "on the fence, not to offend". The speaker finds fault
in this person's judgment. Why should he or she worry about offending
others? His or her opinion should be known. The speaker tells him or her
to take chances, to "cut cut cut cut". If the chances are "placed in a box
until a quieter time", all is lost. The result, with allusion to the
his or her life.
It is extreme to say that conformity kills, but in a way this screams a
symbolic truth. The conformist obsessive fan may as well be dead, for he
contributes nothing new to life. The world needs only one of them. When
Dave Matthews wrote "Ants Marching" he evidently felt anger and sorrow for
those who lack the originality necessary to reject the conformist
lifestyle. The speaker of his song hopes that obsessive fans will realize
their fault and take strides toward change.

as. i just was asking if anyone besides me has heard the same things.
jesus h. christ, maybe you people ought to concern yourselves a little
more with the fact that the guys are killing themselves with heroin
rather than what song was played first at their latest show. what a
waste of time and mailbox space this list has been. hope you all get

Yet another DMB cover suggestion
rush2112@unm.edu Wed Apr 19 20:40:49 1995
What about the Talking Heads "(Nothing but) Flowers ? It is sort an
anti-ecological song but when you really think about it dave (byrne in
this case) is just saying that perhaps we shouldn't have ripped up the
trees fifty years ago to replant them today.
Another suggestion Bob Marley's "One Drop" my friend Andrew and I were
listening to it the other day a simultaniously we said "Dave should cover
this!"Just some suggestions.-Jeremy

EVERY one of these bands is unbelieveable in thier own right. Check it out.
By the way, in the past week, I've been to Tom Petty, which was pretty cool,
kinda campy though; Widespread Panic, where I worked security, and hung out
with the boys. Cool Cool guys. And in Wilmington, I saw Dave and Big Head
Guy with the Ugly American Ghandis or somethin... Dave rocked, seemed a
little unenthused. Big Head looked really tired... Boxing Ugly Buddhists
weren't really my bag... Good show though. Tonight I'm seein Emmett

Crazy!
DANIELT@tiger.hsc.edu Wed Apr 19 23:04:35 1995
I find it kinda crazy when people are so stereotypical, like, for instance,
when someone posts something, someone responds with a negative post and then
all 800+ on this net are evil. I don't understand. I also don't understand
the deal with no setlist posting. Everyone wants a copy of the show, but no
one posts the show. I guess this heat is getting to my mind; I must be crazy.
crazy....crazy.......crazy......my head is spinning while I dream of
spooning..............i must be crazy............As for what song moves me most
of the greatest musical experiences I can think of. Cry Freedom is also an
incredibly moving song. How about People? That song does it for me. Also,
the Blue Water w/ Warren Haynes from 8/19/93 is.........wow!
Enough of that shit............anybody think that Edwin McCain's cover of Romeo
and Juliet is incredible? Pretty damn good.
Well, I am off to see Widespread for the first time. I hope its good. I've
got my smokes, my drinks, and my dreams of spoons (he he he).

I would have to agree with the person who expressed disappointment with
Spotlight. Although I've only heard one recording of it, my impression
was just what he said, kinda one dimensional. Not that it's a bad song,
but it's just so simple compared to much DMB's other music, which is so
complex, ya know. I even wondered if it was a DMB tune, as it doesn't
seem to resemble their other music. Anyway, just thought I'd agree!

Hey there all you party people...
THere was a post concering several differnt questions by the guy from
potsdam. I erased it but Iwant to answer several questions....
MOST MOVING SONGLike the rest back you up tops my list. I played it
for my girlfriend on Valentines day and it tottlay knocked her off gher
feet which is a good thing. I also really like seek up. It is a
mellow tune that still has the capabilites of jammin. AS somone else
said best tune for gettin down....JIMI or watchtower...
BAND THAT COULD COVER DMBThat is a hard one but I think it might be
possible by a group called the Bare Naked LAides from Canada. They rip
and might actually do a decent job...
GOOD THINGS ABOUT WWYS Personally Ithink the song rips.
That's about it though.
Does the crreator of these questions go to Potsdam U??? If so I live
right down the road at SLU....Write me if sooo...
Any word on Boots of The Richmond Symphony show or the Show at Club
Soda in Montreal last fall?????
P.S I also wanna know what a spoon is.

PVXD93C@prodigy.com Thu Apr 20 01:26:30 1995
Please don't believe any rumors you hear. It could be true,
but just remember how the whole HIV thing spread, and it
turned out to be a buch of bullshit.
that the band never drinks before they play, and Dave said
he was going to stop drinking period. I was talking to
Carter last weekend and he was telling me about their old
conga player, Miguel, who died from hepatitus he contracted
through IV drug use. Carter said that the band had no idea
he was doing that shit, and it seemed that it was a shocker
and really disappointing. Also, Carter said that they got
rid of the Ugly Americans because they were assholes, and
because they were doing some "pretty weird shit." So I
really don't think that DMB is using heroine, but who knows.
Just trying to prevent more lame rumors.

This whole Dave net thing
phillipj@unm.edu Thu Apr 20 02:34:17 1995
wait to subscribe. I live out here in the middle of New Mexico and am an
absolute fan of good talent. The Dave Matthews Band has that talent. I
don't care what the members of this band choose to do sexually or
otherwise(i.e. drugs), it aint' none of my damn business or anyone else's
for that matter I ENJOY the music that they play immensly and I thank
god everyday for bringing the members of DMB together. As individuals
they are talented musicians, but as a group, they become one. They
behold every emmotion that I have ever felt in my life within ever one of
their songs and for god's sake----THEY MAKE ME @##%%^^$ GROOVE!!!!!!!
Stop bitchin' about what might be and take the band for what they are,
they are only humans. BUT THEY REALLY GROOVE!
Why must so many of you try to interpret what Dave's lyrics are tring to
say, only he knows why he has written what he has. Spend some time
trying to figure out what the music does for you, not why they play it.
DMB moves so many people in so many ways who is to say what is correct
and incorrect. I think so many of you are missing the point of DMB, and
probably the point of PHISH and even possibly BLUES TRAVELER. Maybe even
all music for that matter. Musicians don't play because they want to
impress or because they want to be rich and famous, they play because
they have an inner drive to make beautiful music, they do it for
themselves first and if it becomes something that other people enjoy,
well, all the better. We talk of these people as if they are immortal,
as if what they are doing they are doing only for us. Believe me, they
are not.
Youi all complain of how WWYS is so "commercial" and a "sellout", I don't
think that dave had this in mind when ghe wrote it or when it was put on
UTTAD. It was the record company that decided that it might be a good
promo. track to get people to listen to DMB. I have to admit that I
myself am getting a little tired of the song, but ONLY BECAUSE it is the
only DMB they play out here. I am a struggling guitarist and I hope that
one day I may play an instrument half as well and with half as much
feeling as the guysd in DMB.

Re: Nashville show
dmband@va.pubnix.com Thu Apr 20 03:17:25 1995
For all of the retters in the Charlottesville/central Virginia
area, the radio station WWWV (97.5 FM) will be broadcasting the
DMB show in Nashville. It will be broadcast on Sunday at
11:00 pm. They broadcasted the show in the UVA Amphitheater
and the sound came through fairly well. I taped the show off the
radio and it also came out pretty well; the only tricky thing
was editing out the comercials.
If I have time, I will go to the station and do a board tape. (I work
there part-time.) If I manage to muster the energy to do this, I'll make
it available here.

The Georgia Theater is in Athens, Georgia. It rocks. Some cool bands
got their start there including REM and Widespread Panic.
The GA Theater has a special meaning to me because they tossed my sorry

lono@brahms.udel.edu Thu Apr 20 05:02:11 1995
why are people posting entire trees for phish trades on the minarets?
maybe it's obvious, maybe I'm an idiot (many of you deadheads seem to
think so)
but I thought this was the one place I could get away from the phishermen too
*wince*
GOD I enjoy that!
okaaaaaay...you can all flame me again...

georgia theatre
cschwart@email.unc.edu Thu Apr 20 05:50:29 1995
The georgia theatre does exist. It's in Athens, home of the University
of Georgia. It's one of Dave's favorite places to play, or so I've
heard. And I think part of the WWYS video was filmed there...or it may
have been something elsse for MTV. Anyway, the answer to your question
is yes.

cool bands around here
cschwart@email.unc.edu Thu Apr 20 06:27:28 1995
Since the school year is almost over, here is a list of my favorite bands
that I have seen (and remember seeing) at bars and fraternity parties
Also, if you're in the Chapel Hill area on Thursday, come over to HE's
NOT HERE. Tri-delt is having their annual spring fling there with the
Winebottles. It costs $6 at the door and the money goes to charity.
(A friend asked me to post that, but it should be fun. It always is.)
Also, has anyone heard Pete Droge's album. I bought it after hearing him
on House of Blues a few weeks ago and it's pretty good. Sounds a little
too much like Tom Petty at times though.

typical situation.
"everybody's happy...everybody's freeeeeeee
keep the big door open, and everyone'll come around!"
god, that's a cool chorus!
upbeat and the chorus starts out so cool, and then it turns all sinister
without you really noticing it.

Spooning....
toddb@udel.edu Thu Apr 20 08:36:15 1995
Hi all, most of you don't know me, but I've been here a while (pre-UTTAD,
but not by much) And I've seen some newbie posts regarding spooning...
All I'm going to say here is.... well, If you haven't figured it out by
this stage of the game, I'm not going to tell you. I will, however give
the lights, do what comes naturally. Wow, that even rhymed. Bye-
