I have not posted here in quite a while(months) but i have been reading and lurking in the shadows, and doing the tape thing..(thanks to everyone for the great tapes...ohhh the bagbys...ohhh the dats///ohhh the joy) anyhow...it seems to me the a 110 message digest is just way the hell to much, espeically when most of the content is personal...so without trying to piss anyone off(i am sure i will) use the net to post dave shit not... personal shit to others...thats what your fucking personal addresseses are for. This net has changed so very much since i subscribed a few years ago. the regulars have changed and so has the content...well it is not possible to bring back the old tape offers(of crystal quality, I might ad) and the super nice newbie offers or the frequently posted rare dave info.... but what we can do is grab the reigns and bring this net back to an informative, interactive, site to talk about the dave matthews band and trade tapes and meet fellow dave heads(i cant beleive i said that) thats it... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Top Permalink

First 4 people (2 undigestified and 2 digestified) to tell me why they want a penis in their hand.....nahhhh.....that could get way out of hand (heheh) and then I'd feel too much like a pervert, not that I don't already but.....just email me....and you can get a copy of 9-11-92.

it's poetry. it's creativity. it's better than grovels. it's better than flames. so if you don't like it, i'm gonna have to track you down and look at you like you are weird. why must there be obligatory dave content? this isn't the "dave matthews net"... it's "minarets.net" i wonder how many of you have actually seen a minaret (not including the one made by gregory.) i haven't. but i'm sure i'd cherish the moment. i'd love to scream from one. i bet the sound of a well crafted barbaric yawp from teh top of a minaret would sound incredible as it bounced across the arabian plateau. there is a newsgroup. where you can sit back and watch boring "comments" and "relative, useful information" get traded back and forth like magic cards. but why? why must you have "relative, useful shit" about damaba? is it what will make you life complete? to know what color anne's tongue was when she died? it makes no sense. obsessiveness. it won't get you anywhere. so don't subscribe to minarets if you just want to find out how to get a copy of this show or that. no matter how many grovels you make, you prolly won't get a response. don't "subscribe" to minarets. you subscribe to magazines. and social movements. like facism. just hang out and open your eyes and see the three corners. then walk around. it's a big room. don't sit in the corner and hope to god your going to get lucky enough to snag a copy of the show where peter says "boyd's got a patch on his butt." listen to what you have. if you don't have any, listen to the cd. wanna know how to get some? go tape another band, and get addicted to them. it works. it's how i discovered dave. dave isn't the end all be all of music, and to think that he is will make minarets a stifling place. that's why we're here. to open this shit wide up and have a hoedown. sorry to crash your "i gotta know every goddam little personal shit reference i can to dave matthews like how many times his name has been mentioned in any magazines with a circulation of over 500,000" study break. we're gonna drink some minarets.koochi and wait for the next time dave comes to our towns. for now, though, let's just have some fun........ ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\ __________________________________ rick thompson this space intentionally \ thompsrc@jmu.eduTop Permalink

I'm sorry, but a few years??? Come on now, If you all think you know how the net used to be then you'd be pretty psyched to see what's happening now! This IS the way the net used to be, and these ARE the people who used to be on it. You have a delete key, use it. Right when things were getting happy too. I've never posted a flame, nor will I refer to this as one. It's spring, relax, brush the snow off your shoulders and smile. Make friends. There are few inside jokes on this net. There are random ramblings, yes. But, I also saw a bunch of replies from new people who had something to say, or maybe, just maybe found something HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH hah!---that was a laugh. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Hah...I fart in your general direction! life is too short to be pissy. outa here.... KatharineTop Permalink
Hey there everybody - I wrote a post a while ago where I said I was looking for cerain songs - thanks to many of you I was able to get most of them. Redemption Song Exodus Tangerine Sympathy for the Devil (I read in an earlier post that this is just a cover that someone thought DMB should do - but I thought they already did it) and I'm always looking for any versions of So Much To Say! I have about 30 HQ hours to trade for - so mail me if you are interested. thanks, jonasTop Permalink
OK, here's a plan...a truce so to speak... You guys don't like our random ramblings, and you wnat to hear more Dave stuff (ie setlists, offers, etc.) I could care less about setlists, offers, cause I already got all my little heart wants, and well, I'd rather talk about how the abnd played rather than what songs they played. But, to each his own. I delete trade offers and setlists, and you can undigestified mail makes for easier deleting (if you have the space) When it seems like there's no Dave content being spoken, well, there is. Dave Matthews Band Now we are friends, but do not see each other as much as we may want (now that the band's out and about), but we can still talk here. No worries. Graduation June 1. I'll be off this thing for good. Enjoy. K.A.Top Permalink
fellow netters, does anyone know the venue of this show : 5-27-93, dave and tim reynolds please write me personally, much thanks s fineTop Permalink
Hey Guys, Balroom. Setlist Houston 04-27-95 Warehouse Satellite Billies (Boyd almost fell down...It was pretty funny) Best Jimi Thang Recently Drive In, Drive Out (really cool...added some jammin parts to it... I felt like Typical Situation ( good except of all things Crowd surfers ) Rhyme & Reason WWYS ( crowd went nuts) Ants (I think we will see this combo from now on.) Encores Back You Up The new song Watchtower Dave was the final act and he easily put on the best and longest show (about 2 hrs). As Dave said, "Its FUCKIN hot in here." The crowd was not bad except for the individuals that thought it would be fun to surf. It seemed like they knew most of the songs including RTT stuff. Alot has changed in five months since they came in December. I think the club days are over. BHTM was okay. You think they could play songs that aren't in the keys of C or G. I mean it was getting extremely ridiculous. But anyway, at first I thought the crowd was going to be pro-BHTM but once dave started you could see that there were more DMB fans. They just all of a sudden came out of the woodwork. It was real fun but extremely hot but I think almost everyone had a pretty good time. I was expected them to play less but I think they started to have a good time so they played longer. Later, Cliff PS Clare, just keep on talkin!!!Top Permalink
hi all i heard dave's new song in wilmington, on easter sunday. i think it sounds like a cross between 36 and 34, with more lyrics. i know there is a really familiar sax riff, but i can't quite place it. thanks gotta go now bruceTop Permalink
Hey there y'all!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Last of the big scary projects is done!! And When I finished presenting last night, I went and we swung on the swings and jumped off from way up high and twisted the chains around and let ourselves spiral ..... We're gonna do a study on pre and post stress swinging... have a theory that its immensley helpful both times! And then this morning I got to teach... and one of the two year olds had on an Elmo t-shirt (elmo is the best. but animal is way up there y'all.) And we played in the sand and hid under boxes and played disc. cool fun happy in the sunshine. That's what I want for all of you, to be happy in the sunshine. I know. Minarets like we know and love......... hair is wierd you can grow it again, but it's so hard to get it cut off. Yeppers. Try getting over a foot cut off at once. like gravity doesn't affect you for a while you feel so light. I still wake up sometimes in the morning and wonder what happened to it all. Wow. I don't even feel like I have finals coming up. They're jes gonna be cake. Like fudgy vegan chocolate cake. I think I'll cut outa work here early and go home and bake some. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm And....

i'm also court jester, and don't you forget it. When I was a freshman in college, my friends and I would always launch "I'm the court jester" "No, you're the trickster, I'm the court jester" "no, you're the trickster" etc. etc. etc. I would always end up saying I liked the sound of being the trickster, so we'd finally stop. No idea how that originated. There was no DMB then, so I can't relate it to them..... So they called me the trickster for a while, befor ethe switched to "weasel" How did I get all these weird nicknames?? Glad people call me something normal finally... -Dash :)Top Permalink

in a friends dorm room, didn't feel like staring at the ceiling), and WWYS was #6. Also, heard on the radio a intro on the band on how they came from South Africa and West Virginia. Gave me a hearty laugh. Super Grover) and those alien things with huge mouths that would see some object and repeat what its called over and over again and then say, "YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP" more quickly.

I saw Dave in Houston last night and he was insane! The music was loud and dave said it was "FUCKING HOT!!!!!!!!" The show was incredible. They played about a 15 to 20 minute version of Jimi Thing. They also played Drive In, Drive Out which I had never heard before. If anyone has a tape of this show on 4/27/95 I'd love to have a copy.Top Permalink
I like all of this stuff about sesame st. and the muppets on Minarets...kinda brings back those childhood memories (sniffle sniffle)...anyway, elmo is a little too new school for me, I liked grover too, and SUper Grover kicked some major ass...but how can we forget the Count?

rick, ricky-tiki-tavi was wondering if any of us had been to the minarets i've sorta been to one. when i was in spain three years ago we visited an old cathedral in Sevilla the cathedral is catholic, being in spain, but it was originally a mosque built when the moors were hanging out in spain and pissing off the "good" christain folk of espana. so anyway, when ferdinan and isabella kicked the moors out, they converted the mosque into a cathedral. so the minaret got turned into a bell tower which they call "la giralda" which means the spinner becuase there's a weather vane thing at the top which is in teh shape of a woman and it spins in the wind. it's actually sad to see where the beautiful moorish architecture stops two stories up to be replaced by the christian tower. i climbed to the top and climbed up on a safety rail and rang one of the bells...it was loud as shit and i nearly pooped. i din't scream from it, but i'm going back to madrid in the fall for a semester and i'm gonna go to sevilla to see kysa and we'll scream from the minaret for everyone here. i can't wait! don't go to mass anymore. i'll end this sensitively and add that i don't mean to insult any catholics or anything like that. it just makes me wonder what the hell they were thinking.....it was so beautiful. jeff sorry this is kind of a downer, but it makes me thinkTop Permalink
I'm looking to set up one final trade for the semester. I'd like to get a hold of Peter's last show, the big league chew show, whqatever it's called. I have a nice assortment of stuff to trade, including 10 very HQ Dave 2/5/93 Ritz Power Jam DSBD/2 - JOhn Popper, Noel Redding, Warren Haynes, Chuck Leavell, Bernie Worrell, and a bunch of other people jamming a bunch of blues and rock standards (inc. DMB and Trey on Watchtower) I also have tons of Phish, and some HQ VAn Morrison, Acoustic Junction, GSW, and other stuff, about 250 hours total. Write me for my full list. andyTop Permalink

I don't know if this is an original idea or not, but I'd like to subject the following rule to the "Standards of Tape Trading": Send the padded mailer inside of a regular envelope. Address only the outside envelope. Don't seal the mailer. That way we'll all spend less money on mailers. Comments? let's try this.... instead of wasting the paper of an extra envelope, just use one padded mailer. include an index card with your address, and then when the tapes are finished, all the taper has to do is affix alittle scotch tape here, affix alittle scotch tape there, swipe off the old stamps, swipe on some new stamps, and send the buckaroo on back. sort of like my one padded envelope that started at teh damaba home office with a copy of r2t, came to me, went back to the damaba home office, then back to me, then to lionel, than back to me, then off to some place like new orleans or something. i haven't seen it since then, so there's no telling where it went. reduce, reuse, recycle. ____________________________________ "it is indeed a great gift of heaven\ __________________________________ rick thompson this space intentionally \ thompsrc@jmu.eduTop Permalink
I had a dream last night. I figured out how Dave can sell out all he wants and still make us happy. It has to do with the Grateful Dead. Dave goes to Vegas and opens his own place. Call it Dave's place or soemthing cool like that. Dave and the boys build a theater for ohh 1500 and they get to set it up JUST how THEY want it. Then they can play. But they don't have to play everyday anymore, just when they want to. And I get to sell all the tickets. Oh, MTV gets all the rights to the videos that are recorded of everyshow, bue WE get the tapes. I have never seen a real maggot, but once I was eating pasta and was positive that it had turned into maggots. I still ate it and it tasted good. Is there a better way to waste your day? My paper is not done, but this is more fun. Hope whatever it is they got is spreading.Top Permalink

Lately there's been a few complaints about the "new" subscribers to our little group. I can safely say that few on this net have been here as long as I (consecutively, that is), so I figured I'd offer a little advice/meaningless rambling. 1. Clare, Rick, Jeff, Ben and Kevin are not taking over your net. They are taking over their net. They essentially created it, or at least nurtured it, with thanks to Alex, so just because it turned into something different in their absense in no reason to get all upset. If you want to unsubscribe, go ahead. But don't complain to everyone before you do it. 2. This is not meant to be a source for ticket info, tape trading and setlists only. That is why the first DMB newsletter to refer to Minarets called it "food for the mind" or some such thing, not just a source for info. If the band likes it a certain way, who are you to say it should be different. 3. There have been a huge # of messages lately. But I suppose its just our old friends expressing their excitement at being back on the net. I must ask, however, that they keep in mind that there are many new members of minarets who send messages as well, so perhaps they should limit their postings somewhat. The joy of seeing a message from clare or a memo from the cellar in the inbox is reduced somewhat when there are 7 such messages a day. OK? Good. Group spoon...... much better. First person to write a personal message to me telling me # of times Bob Marley says Jammin' in the song of the same title gets a copy of the show of their choice for blanks and postage. It's a favor for my brother- he's got a bet with someone to find the song with the title repeated the most times. Goin' to Myrtle- see all you Blue Devils there,Top Permalink

clare said that . . . minarets.net has only been around since december 93. to me, i don't think we can milk 16 months to be called "a few years," and for the first few months, the only people i could be sure of are the freaks who are freaking you out right now. *end rick quote* rick. honey.. you knwo ilove you tons.. but you are WRONG!#$% i've been on minarets since at least september or october of '93 not december.. there were only about ten of us.. greenfling gnomeboy.. remember him? ang gregg and you and me. and tanen.. were you here yetfr_.tanen? and hm.. budke and it hink rob hold atrhodes.. but it was just about 9 of us OH!@@$%% DON"T FORGET OURLEADER@!!! DR.FRANKENSTIN CROTHERS!!! First of all . . . YEAH! We're back y'all! Thanks for the recent kind words Adam, it's nice to be back. Anyway Clare, since you bring it up, Minarets was started on October 13, 1993. The first several posts were from Alex and Eric Budke, both of whom were trying to get their feet wet on Listproc at the time. Date of first post (selected people who might be curious): Ellis 10/15/93 Nebulous 10/16 Brett 10/16 Rick 10/18 Me! 10/18 Shawn Peters 10/18 Gnome Boy 10/18 Sue Deutsch 10/18 Gregg 10/18 Darren Cokin 10/18 Dave Forbis 10/18 Reid Spice 10/19 Clare 11/30 October 18th was a very busy day on the net. So busy that people were talking of maybe unsubbing and maybe digestifying. Point? Get used to the fact that we're a talkative bunch. Write-a-tive, maybe. Is that a word? Now it is. It means "tending to write verbosely." See below! Anyway, Adam went a little far in saying that this is our net (already deleted his message so I forget exactly what he said) but the fact remains that as you can see from the above very brief list at least some of us were there from the very start. Why should you care? Well, maybe you shouldn't. But I'll tell you this (and you can hear it from Rick and Clare and Keith and Neb and Jeff and Kev and Beth if you'd prefer): We DO feel a certain attachment to Minarets, having been around these parts for a while. It's like that Living Colour song . . . well you can tear a mailing list down (which some might claim some of you have done or tried to do) but you can't erase a memory. Get it? What I'm saying is that we're here to give a dose of reality. This is what it used to be stuff too. There were no flames at first. [gasp!] That's right. Can a DAY go by with out some of that shit now? No it can't. Why? DON'T ANSWER THAT question 'cuz there just ain't NO reason why we can't have a flameless day. Be nice. Keep the stupid shit to yourself. Find the good things in every post. Show respect and love for everyone else out there. When this net started people were helpful, friendly, and most of all cared about what they said to each other. Those characters whose stuff you've been reading have been doing their best to set that kind of example again. Are there personal messages? Well, yes but that's because we all used to be friends around these parts. Sigh . . . cancer. band. but blue water babboon farm has nto been played since.. i think.. march of '93 someone said it earlier . . . trincoll 931113. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enough! -BenTop Permalink
Hey y'all, Does anyone know if DMB has a mailer, so I can keep up with show dates when I am home (off the net) this summer? If you do could you please send me some info.

Regards to camping, cool if you do, but rooms run only around 17bills, so you can keep your stuff there.

T thank you luv that was very well said. you too adam. you're both right y'know....about no one owning minarets 'cause its such a nebulous (that's for you benny :) ) entity.......... i guess dr. frankenalex crothers comes closest but that's just because he has THE POWER. but all of our frolicking of late came about not because we think we have some claim over the 1000-plus folk on minarets...... ....but because we all at one point really loved it. yes.... this is most certainly a viable forum for stuff like setlists and trades and the most trivial of dave trivia..... but many many folk have hung around these parts loooong past the time when most of that stuff was interesting...... or new or necessary. .....remember 3rd street??? (hee hee like the alamo keith!) that's why people stick around.... hell.....i flew from texas to virginia.... and keith and bridget survived a two-day trek in a borrowed car.... and some came from new jersey and florida (right?) and almost boston and vermont........ simply because dave was playing down the block and we wanted to experience it with our FRIENDS. and it was special. and this had a point. i know it did somewhere. ha! everybody go hear scratching jones tonight..... ....they're playin'....right?? i think........ chardy......? oh i don't know. bethTop Permalink

it seems to me that there is some confusion here about great traders. i'm sure beth and the other person mentioned are great traders, but the reason isn't because they included extra tapes with their trades. tweaking one's decks for head azimuth, record eq, bias, and shit like that regularly does, as does getting tapes out to folks on schedule, passing on whatever taping wisdom i've gained over the years, and doing tape offers to newcomers, something i haven't done in a couple months(i was w/o dmb tapes not too long ago myself; brad, andy, keith, kim, steve, kelly et al were very reference the digest # in which this appears-- newcomers who can tell me what the body of the message to listproc should read to undigestify your minarets mail, will get, for blanks and postage, copies of either the wait chapel received this info...Top Permalink
the net has killed me... therefore, i hereby withdraw myself from the minarets net, this is my last will and testament, nebulous ben and lord thompson, rejoice, you have succeeded in kicking me off shaft : why the hostility towards me. eat a fat dick good fun, i rick your head is a chicken shovel/Lord thompson - you now control the net keith...........................never mind fred house i miss your 87 posts a day about the time you sneezed at a show brett - why have i incurred your wrath, vindictive man boofy !!! clare eats bombpops :) jen fogelson and dash kick ass -- they are the queens of the net will flame the hell out of you. it is okay for certain people to write each other personal messages, but most of us can't. the rules of the net are made to be broken by the old timers, you can't crack the inner minarets circle. don't ever disagree with the net gods, for they will retake the net, as you have all witnessed. beware of them-- they will goon you if they have the chance. i believe mr. vann said it was "their net because they created it". just delete it and move on with your life. don't flame them, just read the shit you want to read. everyone has a right to write what they want and when they want, so please respect others opinions. if getting a huge digest annoys you, then read the newsgroups. minarets net should be more than setlists and tape trading, it should be a family of dedicated fans of a fantastic band. use your delete key freely if you don't like the direction the net is heading. but if you are not an insider, stay within your bounds - don't step out of line. and then listen to dave some more, and everything will be fine. sooooooo, after eight fun months, i leave the net thanks for all the good times, and hearty laughs i got from the flames. i am sure "shovel head" will miss me, but perhaps in another time and another place, our paths will cross again. remember that i offered the olive branch to you. it's been great... i am outta here i am unsubbing, let the celebrations begin, nebulous and keith and shaft i leave the net forever s fineTop Permalink

content.....if Dave were a muppet, what muppet would he be. And this should be opened to the entire band; Stefan, Boyd, Leroi, Carter. And if you feel constricted by just Muppets, any Jim Henson character is game (Muppet Show, Sesame Street, etc....). It'd be cool to see the responses. -peAce -Jared Medina -Man w/o a .sig fileTop Permalink

too. in fact, he's kookier than minarets has become, so DEAL WITH IT!!!! WOW, YOU have met dave matthews. I have met him ten times over and yes he is a bit weird, but not as weird is this minarets has become. I do not know but do you people have any pubic hair. I think that the Romper Room has just opened up their own mailing list---please join. DMB is a band (did you know that) it would be nice to get at least one message a day with some relevant information rather than some ridiculous inside jokes that are very pointless to 90% of the people on this list. See how tall you are and jump in the middle of the river! dave matthews has unwittingly sold his soul and billy pilgrim has come unstuck in time. you're welcome. just another memo from the cellar, *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* | ..ben sterling..

It'd be a nice gesture of the old- timers to make a newbie offer of their own :) ---------- geez adam...way to steal my thunder! :) i was gettin' around to this ...i was i was.... so...yeah...ok. a newbie offer......... i can do that. lets play name that tune........ if you have no tapes and you can complete the lyric running circles 'round my brain (hint...hint....see the sub line silly) AND if you can tell me why the person who sings it is cool...... then you can have the cream of my crop so to speak. i mean....ummm....your pick...2 shows from me. yeah. i'll take a few digestified and a few not. tell me the digest number and all that jazz blah blah blah but be quick! go! go go! (and be sensible....basically if you're not just sittin' at your computer and this thing pops up...if you...like check your mail and this has been sittin' in your inbox...... please don't flood me box......) y'know.....i have had virginia on my mind.... i guess 'cause brett's grad-y-ating and he must have rung the wren bell today...... and 'cause really dave matthews just isn't the same outside the state...... and 'cause nags head nc is about to be flooded with virginia college students and the tulips have probably just finished blooming and van ripers was last week and too many of my college friends are getting married. .....but sometimes i like texas too. :) gee.....i wonder how many people deleted this message because it didn't say "newbie offer" in the sub....hmmmmm..... and believe me eric.....i haven't forgotten about you! i splished and splashed in a bubble bath tonight ....come up through my toes to my ankles and all that..... and you know what that does to me............... well....shit. i'd better send this and spread some love around........ay? bethTop Permalink
i just have to second this opinion. tom has hooked me up with incredible sounding copies of the roseland and new year's shows and is really dedicated to preserving sound quality and acuracy of the music. he's even met me here at school when he was on his way to work so that i wouldn't have to deal with postage or waiting long. anything tom trades or offers you will definitely top your list of shows in terms of tape quality. if anyone has any questions about taping and how to keep the sound as true as possible, either in dubbing or recording live shows, he's the one to ask. many thanks tom. later y'all.Top Permalink

It is unpatriotic to say that anyone but Sam Eagle is the coolest Muppet. I dig him mucho and I'm not your Dad. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is also way funny. Post what you like. You guys are fuuuuuny. Anyone have any boots of Spywagon? Brett sent me a song by them as filler on a dave tape and I'm itchin' to hear more. performing African folktales on Sesame Street fri.may5th. Their names are Mike and Maduka. I've seen them do this act before and it's a good time. Check local listings . . . . . Anixiously awaiting a videotape of Phish halloween '94. See you all at Red Rocks! Peace,Top Permalink
I just finished a paper and wanted to throw in my .02 about the Muppets. The Muppet Show is still one of my favorite shows. It sucks that it Animal kicks Ass. The funniest people on the show are the old dudes in the balcony. Hecklers are pretty cool. I can't remember there names right now, probably because it is 6 am and I have been working on this damn paper for 8 straight hours. Thanks to whoever started the muppet trend because reminescing about all of that stuff is really relaxing. You know, Sesame Street, Electric Company and all of the other childhood shows. Any Ultraman fans? I used to love that too. OBDC-How can anyone get tired of Dave? I don't understand it, but I get shit from my suitemates for playing too much Dave?? Yeah right, like it is possible to hear to much Dave, especially from bagbys. Whatever. Since, I owe much of my collection to this net, I though I would post by first NEWBIE OFFER. The first person to correctly this quote from my favorite movie,(actor and character) "It looks like a mirac, it's in the hole, it's in the hole. The crowd going wild at Augusta......"
