Hey my friends-- R.E.M. is the band featured on ABC In Concert. I'm hoping that it's a miss- print. I guess we'll all find out soon enough. ---Andy Taylor Univ. Upland, INDIANATop Permalink

i have a huge favor - and anyone who could help wins my undying gratitude for life (and a tape of their choice of course) anyway - one of my best friends is graduating in a couple of weeks and i would like to get him a copy of the 12/30/94 show (in dc i think) which is the last show he attended so if anyone has a copy, PLEASE let me know and i'll mail you my list! thanks in advance cameronTop Permalink
I have found it ironic that we're finding all the good covers dave should do, yet at the same time many folks don't feel anyone can cover dave satisfactorily. i hardly think simon and garfunkel planned to have dmb (and every acoustic singer/band on god's green earth) cover me and julio... but dave does a pretty good job, right? just my $.02. keep an open mind. remember the parachute analogy... :)Top Permalink
I agree that if Dave covered the Stones, Sympathy For The Devil, that would be incredible. The "who whooos" would be crazy, how long would it take after the show to get THAT out of your head?! Peace. AliTop Permalink

someone posted not too long ago the story of Dave tripping on the Beach in South Africa (I think it was there) and being hassled by the Police ("billies") and handing over his beach towel, mistaking it for a gun. He assumed that that was why he was being harrassed and then wrote a song. 3 guesses what song it was. they sound this good???? It's no mystery that many/most musicians have done some kind of drug experimentation...yeah, yeah, so they say Zappa never even dropped LSD, but GENERALLY musicians use drugs. I think there's probably cooler stuff to discuss. GOD DAMN!!! is it just me, or do i sound whiny lately??? fre concert @ state college w/ acoustic junction this weekend (the free part is part of the rumor...have no ida about the fact of the matter as far as price of admission) WHEW! a whole minarets with NO PHISH....yeehoo sorry to hear Boof's hair is gone...I remember someone posted some kind of description of "floppy-hair" back in the day...I guess these kinds of notes are gone. I just wanted to thank various people for posting tab/chords/lytrics to Dave tunes keep it up!!! trying to fill out a decent repoirtoir (or however the f...) of Dave tunes to play. I don't BEGIN to duplicate the Matthews style or charm, but I like to sing his lyrics, and they're pretty popular (even the R2T stuff) with U of D students. Keep those posts coming...please keep us posted on the latest in cool tunes (Dave and otherwise...no phish, no dead) from across the globe! keep the big door open! spdlmtTop Permalink

I have a copy of Drive In, Drive Out that is on a collection of rarities and is listed only as from 3-93.. It is an absolutely incredible version of the song with the whole band and what sounds like Peter and also Tim. It sounds like Tim or whoever is playing the electric guitar is using some effects. There also is this siren sounding noise which I can't tell if it is an effect from the guitar or from the keys. I was wondering if anyone knows what show this is from and if anyone knows how exactly they are making those noises, or if anyone even knows what I'm talking about. It is 2 a.m. and I'm watching In Concert half awake. Brian "life is short but sweet for certain.."-Dave MatthewsTop Permalink

well.........NOT my fav dmb show, to say the least. i'm still deciding whether or not it was worth the 3 1/2 hr drive each way from st. louis. i missed the boxing ghandis, so i can't comment on them (but maybe someone else can - hi gary, bill, and peter! :) ) warehouse nancies satellite recently WWYS jimi minarets typical billies ants watchtower all in all, a pretty boring set list. the highlights were minarets w/ a funky intro, and 2 incredible jams by leroi in jimithing and watchtower. as i should've predicted, the crowd was obnoxious! crowd surfing started during BHT (who were about as energized as my dead grandmother) and continued all the way through dmb, including during soft slow ones like typical situation. :( also, at the end of watchtower, it didn't seem to have an ending - they just got fed up w/ the crowd and stopped playing mid-musical phrase. i can't explain *how* much i hated the crowd. i've seen a lot of *solutions* to the problems w/ crowd surfers, my personal favorite is to stick my hands up like everyone else, then dig my nails in and drag down on the person's (often exposed) belly. this proved to be fairly effective ;) i talked to jeff bagby (the sound guy) at the end of the show, and asked a little about the band's plans----one interesting thing to note is that i doubt dave and the boys will do *any* HORDE tour dates - bagby said "it just doesn't do anything for us" (BTW- keith, i said hi to him for ya! ;) ) he *did* mention that they probably will contiue touring this summer, maybe w/ a short break, and possibly hook up w/ desmon ferril (did i slaughter this name? i forget this part of the conversation) for a while. one more note of interest if you've gotten this far - i taped the show, w/ a walkman and a stereo mike - i was forth row on the floor, so i guess it came out ok, but since i was determined to be on the floor this time, there *is* a lot of crowd noise. however, i'd be happy to spin off 2 copies to the first 2 newbies who write to me, and also to the first 2 newbies who write me w/ the correct digest # for blanks and postage. well, that's all i can think of for now, hope future shows are more interesting and more polite. if i forgot anything, i'm sure someone else can cover up what i missed. :) shalom, pam ~ ~ I "Imagine that the sun itself I ~ is your heart and shine on Pam Jacobs ~ I infinitely without looking psjacobs@lime.wustl.edu I ~ back....." -Jenn Wertz of ~ I Rusted Root I ~ ~Top Permalink

I'm surprised to check my mail today and see no posts about the "In Concert" show last night--I assume it's because everyone was as dissappointed as I. First of all, I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning to watch the dumb show-and Dave only played one song. I hate to say it--but any video (film) of dave does not come close to capturing the DMB we all know. between Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and John Denver! How could they put him on the same night as DMB. Finally, the crowd on the film--(chicago, Aragon Ballroom?) seemed pretty lame. Does anyone that was at the show agree--or does anyone that was at that show actually remember ANYTHING? Thanks--Andy T.P.Top Permalink

To all Dave fans, I was wondering if anyone had all of Dave's TV appearances on a VCR tape(Letterman, SNL, HOB, ABC in Concert) please let me know, I would like to work a trade for it. I only have audio though. I've got about 20 hours of DMB, some Samples, and FJB. By the way, although ABC aired only one song by DMB, it was a lot better than Letterman or SNL because it was a true concert setting, no blaring lights in front of their eyes, no set time limit, and hey, they didn't even show WWYS. So guys, don't complain about last night and ABC, even though Todd Snider sucked. Sorry I'm rambling, I love Freddy Jones, but I think I would fall asleep at one of their shows. Last night was evident of that. Well that's enough for now, oh yeah, by the way, does anyone out there have DMB doing Sweet Home Alabama on a boot? I would love to get a copy. Please get back to me soon if you either have the VCR tape or a copy of SHA. Thanks guys, oh yeah, Jeff Epperson, if you're reading this. I need the tapes you owe me, this is getting ridiculous, it's been a month and a half. I get out of school in 2 weeks and I want my tapes. Sorry to be rude, but when you make a deal, you should follow through.Top Permalink
I agree that if Dave covered the Stones, Sympathy For The Devil, that would be incredible. The "who whooos" would be crazy, how long would it take If he covered Sympathy for the Devil? You, and a couple people are a little late here, it's already been done, though I do not know the date right off hand. AndrewTop Permalink
Hey all! I've been with Minarets a while, and I've seen many people write about exactly what they've experienced at all kinds of concerts. Well, being in Israel doesn't mean that I'm totally out of the musical loop -- the music just happens to be in Hebrew. So, this past Wednesday night, for the low price of $20 (60 shekels) I went to a Shlomo Artzi concert. It was the last night of a musical festival over the Passover holiday, and it was totally random -- you know, a friend had tickets, etc. I went up there with another friend, this one who had actually heard of Artzi. I got there, with no idea of what to expect, and my ticket gets me on to this large open field, with about 1,500+ people lying down towards a stage. We spread our blankets and did likewise, and waited about five minutes, when he made his grand entrance. The beginning seemed boring -- just some songs, a couple dancerts up in front, and then Artzi does something that I have yet to see done anywhere else. He pulls a young girl, maybe fifteen, up on stage, and they start singing together! younger girls, and most of whom inevitably ended up upstaging him. The crowd got up, did a little dancing, and everyone started singing along with the songs. The guitar and saxophone players were wild, as were the horns that he brought out mid-concert. Sometime in the middle, I noticed a fire truck, and as we were wondering what it was for, the stage lights dimmed, and as the band kept playing, they shot of fireworks for a good ten minutes -- all through a jam session! Finally, the concert came to an end, and then, as Artzi came back for his encore, he kept going -- 45 minutes of encore music, with 7 full songs, and a few verses that he ad-libbed on the spot. It was absolutely crazy. Even though I understood only half the words to the songs, I guess this importantly, if you've got a guy who loves to perform, and the crowd is right, you don't need to know what is going on to have a good time. Amuse yourselves! DavidTop Permalink
Hey everyone, I have a little problem, and want your advice. Let's say, out of the goodness of someones heart, they just decide to spin you a show if you send them blanks and postage (I have done this many times). You send the blank, with about $4 bucks tucked inside, and a copy of the original message the person sent to you telling you it was ok. You wait about two or three weeks, and get no response. You are not even sure if the person received the blank. From over hearing other messages, you learn that the person is not going to trade the show that you wanted with anyone. A few weeks later, you are really starting to get pissed, but, when you go to look up the person's address for a gentle inquiry, you discover it lost.. never to be seen again. You then, over the next few weeks post messages asking this person to please get in contact with you over Minarets...no response.. my general impression of this individual was someone that was very trust-worthy and genuinely intersted in not only trading and spreading DMB shows, but in the band's well being. After these disappointing events over the last 2 months, I'm not so sure anymore. I am the last person in the world to make accusations that are false, but this really stinks... What would you do?? Once again, I do not have the person's name, nor address, but I do know that this person almost treed out the Feb. RSO show before recalling it. PLEASE.... if anyone knows this person, or if this person is reading this post, I would really appreciate it if you could contact me!! peace Seth Goldberg-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Goldberg@Rochgte.fidonet.org That way, nobody can capture me.....They can use the hell out of me, but there ain't too much they can do to me. They can mess me up, play the wrong note, they can play a C, but they can't really destroy a C. All it is, is a tone...So I'm gonna come back as a note. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-Top Permalink
Hi all, while I was just walking around today, I thought of a great song that I think the band should give a shot at. Peace Frog by the Doors.

At work Today I heard Jimi Thing on WBAB a local radio station on Long Island. Unlike stations like Z100 would have people on the net believe classic rock stations in NY have been playing DMB song for a while. Its almost funn that Z100 plays DMB alongside Ace of Base. In NY classic rock stations describe Daves music as almost classics already. Every time WWYS is played afterwards a DJ would come on and say some nice remark about the quality of DMB and there CD, while not saying a word about the other bands just played. Not like we didn't know he has great music, now they need to start playing some live stuff. G.CTop Permalink
hey- Well, today I was driving out in the sunny spring weather and was playing around with the stations and I caught the tail end of WWYS on one of Philly's many top 40 stations. When it ended they went right into Rusted Root's Send Me on My Way., the first RR song I have ever heard on the radio!!! I have and love their CD and have been listening to them since the summer....are they getting a lot of radio time now??? On Top 40 stations??? Or was that just a random occcurrance???? WEll, one last thing. I unsubscribed for a week b/c i went home and didn't want my mailbox to plug up so if this point has bee expressed before I APOPLOGIZE!!! Don't flame me....DMB was pretty rockin' on SNL last week. I was kinda bummed that they played WWYS BUT I thought their Warehouse intro to Ants was kickass, i wished they had just played all of Warehouse, not Ants. Oh well, just my thoughts. :-) RobynTop Permalink
Arrr, Whats up, Mateies? Not much here. I hope everyone had a wonderful Earth Day, I know I did. I got to see Pipe Dream, and they rocked! They played at the Earth day Festival at our college, and although most of the other bands blew, and the weather sucked, the boys (and girl) kicked ass! The thing that makes them pretty cool is the fact that they put their all into everyshow. I've seen them play at some really shitty gigs and they always try their hardest to kick ass and play their hearts out to whoever is listening. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with DMB so I'll digress... I was on the radio tonite from 7 till 12 and I was playing all request blocks, and about 10 people called up and requested blocks of DMB. So I played a 4 song block, that did not include Ants or WWYS. It was pretty cool. I also got two requests for FJB, and while it was playing 3 other` people called and said they really dug it and wanted more info. All in all a pretty satisfing nite. can't still answer the question. Go ahead! Tell us what you think DMB would do a kick ass cover of? Anyways kids, I will be going. I will return in a few with some more questions concerning DMB.... stay tuned..... Good nite Land lubers... peace and stuff.. Danny-BoyTop Permalink

I know the results have already been tallied (no flames please), but while I was just walking around today, I thought of a great song that I think the band should give a shot at. Peace Frog by the Doors. Stefan would wail on the base line, and LeRoi and Boyd could give it a good flava'. Just a thought, y'all let me know what you think. started me thinking about the lesser "thought of" tunes that bands should cover. Well, it's not 'Sympathy...' or 'Devil went down' that first came to mind when this thread started, but 'Down Under' from Men at Work, a classic good tune. I could hear Boyd taking over whatever solos Greg Ham (I think) indulged in, be it flute or keyboard, and Dave on vocals would definitely grab the 1980s-esque feel of the song and put it on the shelf. with "beaucoup" shots of Dr. Jack in the veins, it sounds duper.

Hey all! I was driving through school today, picking up a friend, and the station I was listening to (WHFS for you local folk) said that Dave's first single was coming up next. When it came on, it wasn't WWYS or Ants....it was Jimi Thing. Yes, I know they sound misinformed, but it *was* the first song of Dave's that the station ever played, way back when. Not that this is really important, it's just reassuring to know that they found songs of value *other* than the ones MTV decided to play. Just MHO. =) Jen PS This is by no means anti-WWYS or anything . . . I still love that too. =)Top Permalink

I guess most poeple have seen a pretty good acoustic guitarist at one time or another. And if you enjoy that kind of thing, this guy is one of the good ones. He plays about equal portions of covers (stones, big head todd, bob dylan, etc.) and originals. Anyway, he played at the UC Cafe here at William and Mary on friday, the 21 and I taped it. The Calico Quartet and River were also on the bill. It turned out really well. I would love to share this tape with anybody who is interested. It's about an hour long set.

What did you all do for Earth Day yesterday? I really wanted to ask everyone and offer a tape to the person who did the grooviest thing for Earth Day, but seeing as I don't really have any tapes, I can't exactly do that... Maybe if someone wants to help me out and be the one to actually AWARD the prize for biggest tree-hugger...Whatever, I hope you all had a happy day! Anyway, to start it off, here were my earth day projects... I planted a buncha flowers... some in front of my new house, and then helped the little kids in the neighborhood plant some in front of their houses. I signed 2 environmental petitions, and volunteered to help organize some Arbor Day (Friday, btw) tree plantings. I turned the area inside my front door into a recycling drop off for the day, and I took the ends of the rolls of newsprint that the printers don't use to a nursery school for drawing and painting and stuff. Most of all, I spent the day making sure everyone else knew it was Earth Day, and challenged them to do one thing to help the earth. May you always have clean air to breath!

At the New Orleans show, ten minutes before DMB took stage, a huge FIREDANCER logo was raised as the backdrop. Everyone cheered. Amazing.... A lot of fans there obviously knew it was Dave's work. Is this new or have they had this backdrop for most of the shows on this tour. Also, has anyone else noticed the cool light show Dave is traveling with now? I especially liked the "Satelite" that shoots over Dave's head on the first bass note of the song.... in vitro, victorTop Permalink

Due to the fact that all my professors decided to pile up a shit load of work on me all at once, I was unable to get involved in the V-Day tree. So, I am looking for someone who wants to build their DMB tape collection. I have 10 shows (6 or 7 of which are really good qual.) to trade in return. Someone please help me out, this is the 3rd time I've asked someone to trade this show with me. Thanks, Alex amzendel@unca.eduTop Permalink
Well, I hate to do it...I never have before, but I figure I would like to get these before school is over. The first is the Richmond Symphony tape...if you have, trade me! You know you want to. The second is any high quality show with Sweet Home Alabama. I want them, I need them...help me satisfy my soul. E-mail me privately and we'll work something out! I heard some FJB on the radio this weekend which is a huge surprise, as I live in a musical wasteland!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance for anyone's help with these shows!

Hey all, I was born from an abyss of black pitch. I am adamant and unyielding. I fulfill the dreams of boys in the spring. I have traveled on board the ships of greed, and touched the bottom floors of ocean sands. Bands of aurum delight in my frozen touch. Ladies adore me, gentlemen pursue me, I am Tiffany's pride, and Jack's scarlet suit. The fire in my eye is cobalt and cold. I mark 60 years of enduring faith. Who am I? Okay, for the first two people who don't have any Bagby's and correctly answer my riddle, I'll spin you one of the best shows I got for blanks plus postage. the correct answer, plus the digest # and the topic # of this message. Have fun, and peace out, Jon BTW spoons are much cooler than sporks ;)Top Permalink
Okay, several people have already responded to me with correct answers. So, I have to close this contest. The offer, however, is still open for that one digestified Bagby-less person.

Ok third try.. I am having a hard time here. First I spelled minarest wrong twice then I put request in the first line of my message and UVM didn't like that. ANYWAY. Recentlly there have been a lot of requests posted about people like myself who want to get boots of the Richmond Symphony show. some,. Since we couldn't attend the show it would be great if someone could help. Someone responded a while ago but I lost that post and it was only tenative. ANyway if anyone can help it would be GREATLY appreciated. Please HELP///Top Permalink
Although it really wasn't just Boyd, my favorite violin thing was from the RSO show. I thought that the plucking in Recently was so cool when the whole violin section did it. My favorite Boyd jam is definitely any Dancing Nancies with the wah-wah pedal. The sound is crazy. MarkTop Permalink
The V-day tree was never run. I will gladly defer to anyone more in the know on this, but as far as the story I know, it was called per DMB request, as I beleive it caused them many headaches with the RSO. Stop begging. :Top Permalink
It sucked when the V-Day tree fell through. I was one of the people on the tree. My point is that like everyone else.- I need that tape. If anyone has it, please contact me. I've got the Rutabega Session, the first show in Nashville (8-11-94), NYE 94-95, and a lot of other shows to trade. I'm graduating too so I am especially antsy about getting it before I leave in 2 weeks. Sorry for such a blatent grovel. Thanks in advance! MarkTop Permalink
Thanks to all for responding to the RSO request. I figured there may have been some legal implication/reason. Sorry to annoy people with our begging (aka the guy at UVA) but hey it most of been a kickin show.Top Permalink

*NOTE*: This announcement is in two parts. The first part/post (this one) is about what's on the tapes and why and how it's all arranged. The second part/post (not this one) is the actual tree structure. I encourage you to read and save both parts/posts. clear; some is poor quality (best there was; if you have better, 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. and Chicago, all '94) short of what I sought; there are eight 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. arranged so that they could be listened to straight through, in sequence, in one insane sitting. I added no breaks, and actually collapsed alot of them. But, I did use space between interviews (and the space left from the missing interviews) for fillers rather than packing all of the fillers solely on the *end* of each side. (Some of my reasoning, such as mood shift or topical connections, may be apparent.) Filler space has been spread out before and after each interview, so that even the beginning of Coke, stretch, get that rumor off your mind, settle in, and veg.

Hey all, Bob Dylan songs. Not too many have specified songs though. Personally, I think "Hurricane" would be a *fantastic* song for the boys to play. Nice violin throughout the song for Boyd. A very long song--great to hear in concert. Great jam possiblities at the end of the song. If I ever heard them play it I would completely lose it!

Hey all, I was wondering what is the deal with, I believe it is Keith's, rare dave tree. I am on it and received the revised tree structure and wrote my parent asking if I should go ahead and send him my blanks and postage and I haven't heard from him. That was at least week and a half ago. I was just wondering if the tapes have started to be distributed yet or what. I really would like to get a hold of the tapes before the end of school. Could someone just let me know where the rare dave tree stands right now? Thanks a lot. Brian "Celebrate, we will.." DMTop Permalink
Has anyone thought that it might be a good idea if we turned the mailing list into an echo from/to the newsgroup? I know, it may be a bad idea, but it might be a good one, too... This mailing list has gotten todamn big to read... It wasn't too bad when each article in the digest had it's subject # next to it and I could search by subject, but now it doesn't, and I rarely get a chance to read each article. If this were echoed to a newsgroup, people like me could just read the messages by subject heading, cause I don't htink many people have time to read ALL the posts that come through here. Not to mention the way my mailbox gets full all the time! It's worked for rec.music.rem and the Murmur mailing list since that one was getting too big. Of course, the Rush newsgroup and TMNS mailing list have remained separate and they both work just fine... On that one, though, the TMNS mailing list doesn't get NEARLY the traffic of this one. It's really time to think about re-organizing this. THings are getting out of control. P.S. Have a nice day. -- Have you ever gotten sick of hearing AT&T take credit for things that they didn't invent? You will.Top Permalink

Did you think that I would publish that letter and then not make an offer? I would get flamed all over the place. OK, the first 2 newbies that e-mail me get Sewanee, TN - 3/5/94 and Dave and Tim - Charlottesville - 4/22/93. I'll even take care of the tapes and postage.Top Permalink
I've been on the minarets list for a couple of days now and I have about 15 tapes now. I'm sorry to say that it was very difficult to get these shows at first because their weren't very many newbie offers and I couldn't find anyone who would tape a few shows for me. It would be great if we could see more and more newbie offers on this board and less people that were concerned only about their own collections.Top Permalink
Hey everyone- interested in this. My friend Brian (Hi Brian) and I had the opportunity to interview Shannon Worrell for our school paper last week and if anyone wants a copy please let me know.

For anyone in the Burlington, VT area, Shannon will be opening for From Good Homes on Thursday the 27th...it's $5 and promises to be a lot of fun....Hope to see you there!Top Permalink
This has also worked on rec.music.phish... I support it wholeheartedly, but from the opposite end of the spectrum. My school, at the present, isn't carrying the newsgroup.

I would like to say a few things in regards to taping and this mainly addresses newbies. First, be careful with what you tape on. Use high bias tapes such as Maxell XL II or TDK SA, do not tape a show on a normal bias tape. These tapes are good for recording your teacher or someone else but not for recording a live concert where quality is important. Second, do not use high speed dubbing when you tape something as it will decrease the quality a little more than normal dubbing. Third, if you're taping something and you know exactly where the tape came from, write down its taping history on the tape cover (I.E.-What type of deck you recorded it on and what your copy was recorded on). Also write make a note on the tape if it was recorded with Dolby Noise Reduction and what type. Thanks for listening!Top Permalink

I have just witnessed the first BAD Dave Matthews show probably in the existance of the band. Bramlage Coliseum- A HUGE, CLEAN basketball arena. allowed. Although I don't think you have to drink or smoke to have a good time, the ambiance at this show just wasn't there. The saddest part was that Dave seemed to realize that most of the crowd had no clue who he was. And those that did heard What would you say on the radio and thought they were just the newest one-hit wonder opening up for the supergroup Big Head Todd and the Monsters and not the greatest rock and roll band of our generation. but not too much. Anyway, people didn't seem like they were having a good 1. They played a song that "We haven't played for about 4 years". It had "Dragon drag on" in the chorus. What song is this. It was pretty good. 2. They played a GREAT Lie in our graves, with a nice long jam in it. 3. LONG BOYD SOLO in Dancing Nancies. He must've went through about 10 bows. 4. Ants Marching finished the show. People seemed to like it lots, even those not there to see DMB. 1. Bramlage Coliseum is the worst place to see a concert on earth. 2. The fans didn't know any of the songs. Those that did only knew Jimi Thing and Ants Marching (They bought UTTAD because of WWYS). 3. The setlist kind of sucked (I love Dave, but. . .) 4. Jimi Thing lasted about half of their set. (I love Jimi Thing, but. . .) Anyway, if you've read this far, you deserve something, so I'm giving you they graduate to the sparkly clean confines of Basketball Stadiums.Top Permalink

Hey, thing. When you are copying tapes, do you need to worry about Dolby B or C or anything like that, or does it depend on your deck? Is there a difference between copying on a dual cassette deck and on two different decks with cords? Does copying on high speed on a dual deck affect the quality? Thanks for any information.

Okay, not only am I on Digest, but I've been on spring break for the past week. I'm only up through Digest 139, but I don't think anyone's talked about this. What was with the sound on SNL for Ants? I got in late and didn't see WWYS, but Ants seemed to be mixed really poorly. I only saw it once, but what it sounded like was that Dave's mic was turned off and that the vocals were all being picked up through the violin mic. The sax, bass, and drums seemed to be mixed well, but there was A LOT of violin (visually, too!) and not very clear/loud vocals. Just curious if anyone else noticed or if I was picking up something that was intentional. Later! Tim ..........................................................................

1. They played a song that "We haven't played for about 4 years". It had "Dragon drag on" in the chorus. What song is this. It was pretty good. It's BAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKK!!! Could my phoenetics be failing me - or does this sound like the full fledged return of Drive In Drive Out - it has popped up in soundchecks, and record store shows, but could this be the concert debut. If so, why waste it on a crowd that didn't seem to be very into DMB? Here's hoping for a repeat performance next sunday in CO. take care, JasonTop Permalink
I just read the review of the Kansas show. Sorry to those of you who went, and did not enjoy it, but I wish I could have been there. The guy who posted that they sang a song that they had not played in four years or something and had "Dragon Drag on" in the chorus. Do you think this was "Drive In, Drive out" rather than "Dragon, Drag on"? If so, I am pumped. I would really like to hear a good new version of "Drive In, Drive OUt." That is one of my faves. I have never heard it live, and have always wanted to. Oh please let it be so! Once again, sorry if you went and didn't like the show, but be glad because you may have heard one of my faves live.

I know that minarets can get bad sometimes but....I just checked out the newsgroup for the fist time and whoaaa mama is it bad...i won't even waste anyones time telling you guys about some of the threads going on over there but if you ever have the intense need to lose your lunch just check out alt.music.dave-matthews and that will most likely do the trick... I know there was some talk about cross posting, I would have to say that would be a big negative...lets keep minarets, minarets and the newsgroup the newsgroup.

hey i've been viewing the posts lately. this is actually the second time i've been subscribed - the first time, i signed off because there is very little going on here but tape trading and childish gossip (ok, i guess even that stuff can be interesting :). well, i'd like to stick this semester out with the group, but it would be nice to know that there are some other serious musicians out there. i noticed someone the other day saying '(in a fawning-style post)oh! dave is so creative. i just wish i was creative!' uh, hello? JUST TRY IT, PLEASE! we're all awesome people, some show it better than others. just because dave has already climbed the stairs a little...you don't have to quit trying to be creative. not that i'm equal with DMB, but i'm sure as hell not trying to either compare/limit myself to them. i get kinda irritated with the tunnel-vision DMBDMBDMBDMB i keep seeing here. i know, this is flame-bait. i know, this is the DMB list. but come on, look around and appreciate what's going on next to you. does anybody else ever think this way? it's painful to see my generation denying themselves just because someone else happened to be really cool before they ever could. look, this is winding on. i feel better, typing this out. i guess it's one of those pet peeve/angst things. :) i play chapman stick (look up greg howard in the FAQ) and some insane bass, and sing. contact me if we're on the same wavelength. i could care less if you flame me in front of the group. i'd probably never see it anyhow, in the mass of posts. if you do want to argue, email me. otherwise i won't see it (and, as we all know, to be an effective flame, i gots ta see it. :) just trying to spark some INTERESTING conversation. take care!

Hi all, I know the results have already been tallied (no flames please), but while I was just walking around today, I thought of a great song that I think the band should give a shot at. Peace Frog by the Doors. Stefan would wail on the base line, and LeRoi and Boyd could give it a good flava'. Just a thought, y'all let me know what you think. Dancing out with the moonlit Knight, -Mofo That is my all time favorite Doors song-- and I think Dave would do an *EXCELLENT* job on it. Wow... just imagining it-- it's giving me goose bumps! :) KatrineTop Permalink
I've been listening to this tape quite a bit. I have to say my favorite (right now) part of it is Jimi Thing Seek Up. It's just incredible. I'd like to thank the seed for this tree, whoever they are. Can any of the collectors/historians tell me if Jimi Seek Up is the usual way? I have one tape from 93 and it's not played that way-I think it's Jimi Recently or Recently Seek Up. I can't remember but I checked yesterday and it's definitely not a Jimi Seek Up. klongTop Permalink
Someone posted last week that you could tell when Boyd was REALLY in a good solo because he was breaking his bow hair. Breaking bow hair could sloppy playing. Just because he might be playing HARD, with lots of (or too much) bow pressure doesn't mean it sounds better or he's more inspired; the HARDER you play the more you lose control of the fiddle. It's a little like saying you can tell how good a cake is going to be by how much flour the cook spills on the counter when they're making it. It MIGHT actually be a good cake, just as it might be a good solo, but you can't make a judgement just by looking. Any fiddlers have comments? -StewartTop Permalink
