Hey, me too. I don't have a mouse pad and my mouse has just been

Is someone actually counting? If so, could you pick me up a

Joe,
  There is a percussion mailing list.  I just dropped myself off the list
because the volume was overwhelming.  I do remember seeing posts deciding
whether or note they should get their own news group.  

To join the list, send requests to:
	drum-request@elof.iit.edu

Maybe, though it wasn't exactly 10 years. For those counting, K&D's last
show was 2/17/79 at Oakland Coliseum. That 2/12/89 show was just wierd
enough (after Spencer Davis sitting in, Dylan sitting in, and Monkey and
the Engineer) for anything to happen, so I wasn't too suprised that Alabama
Getaway was played.

Wow, The SPIRTLES are still around!  I caught their first show in West
Lafayette when they played the now defunct Locomotives back in 88.  We
were just blown away by how they sounded.  Here's some trivia---SPIRTLES
spelled backwards is SELTRIPS...  They do have (or did have) a mailing
list which they sent all booked gigs to.  If anyone knows the address
could you please e-mail to me?  Thanks.

Being a young head (of age 22), I have to say that I've seen a lot of jerks
when at my local venues.  But, I was introduced to the scene with a
preconception.  Instead of going with that preconception, I developed my own
ideas about the scene and went with that instead.  I'm the type that will walk
around and just be diggin' everything that's goin' on and talkin' with whoever
wants to talk...that is if I'm on my own.  When with friends, I don't talk as
much to other people, but I don't exclude other types of stimulus that go on
around me.

My mother has said, "If you were your age back in the 60's, you would've been a
hippy...wouldn't you?"  To which I'd say, "Yes, you're right....I would've been
a hippy."  Why?  'Cause it's true.

I remember an incident at my first show that made me feel similarly about
younger persons at Dead concerts.

I was standing in the taper section.  There was a group of teenagers (all
drunk) standing next to me being very loud.  People politely asked them to be
quiet and they persisted on making noise.  I discovered they had been drinking
"Purple Passion" or whatever that ever-clear mix is when one of the girls
vomited in purple (wow....the colours....).  It certainly made it an
interesting show....but I feel sorry for the tapers that had these "kids" (I
use the term loosely) all over their tapes.

Anyhow, I don't think conditions will improve unless people will take a group
of these "youngsters" under their wing and just offer friendly suggestions.
It is a possibility...

Peace and Happiness,

  Well, John, I consider editing or fading out a piece of the original

  and passing it off as live.  I would bet that Branford was faded
  out and his goof covered up.  In fact, I noticed a few places in
  "Eyes" where the CD mix favors the main soloist, as opposed to the

	Really.  I mean, the man does "Misty" for gods sake.  
	Back a few summers ago at Darien Lake, Bob scared the children
with his version of "Misty", and at the high point(?) this guy two
rows back breaks into a rousing chorus of "New York New York".  I lost

Yes, you can send tapes using the "Special Fourth Class Rate"
for sound recordings.  I believe it is part 724.1e of the 
USPostal Regs which describes what qualifies under that rate.
"Special Fourth Class Rate" does take longer than First Class,
Red Star, or Priority Mail.

Vince DelGado, besides playing with Jazayer, also played on the
Mickey Hart solo album "Diga".

Vince has been involved with drumming for a number of years, and
appears on Mickey Hart's "Diga" release of 1976.  Soon after, Vince
formed the group Jazayer.  The group performs mostly Middle Eastern
classical and dance music (as in belly dancing music).  They released
their first album, called "Jazayer", which was recorded by Mickey Hart.
Unfortunately, this album is long out of print.  Recently, they
released a second album, called "Jazayer Plus Ali Jihad Racy" on the
EarthBeat! label (EarthBeat EB D-2549).  This album features Ali Jihad
Racy, a well known Lebanese musician, who plays nay (a cane flute),
buzuq (six string longnecked lute) and 'ud (ten string fretless lute).
On this album, Vince Delgado plays the darbukka (clay drum) and tar (a
large frame drum).  Mickey Hart and Dan Healy recorded this live album.

Jazayer plays mostly at private parties.  

Their current release, "Jazayer Plus Ali Jihad Racy" is available on the
EarthBeat! label (EarthBeat EB D-2549), which is a division of Music For
Little People.  Music For Little People, if you are not aware of them,
specializes in music for children.  Call them at 800-346-4445, and tell

Hey all out there I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about the
New Years shows. I heard Metallica had booked Oakland so I was wondering if the
dead were planning to play at all or maybe in a different location , or if they
are even planning any shows in the near future???? just wondering????

What a songwriter and storyteller, agreed agreed agreed... also of
interest is that music was not her occupation until she was encouraged
to pursue it by Charles Seeger (Pete & Mike's pop), in whose kitchen she
worked. Pete mentions (in his sorta autobiography "The Incomplete
Folksinger") memories of her showin' him songs in the kitchen while
Charlie entertained the mucky-mucks in the living room.  Any Pete heads
out there?

i had an experience similar to matt's about dead misconceptions.  

back on the spring tour when the dead first played albany(90?) i had the
opportunity to see a majority of the hartford and albany shows. upon returning
home my parents had to sit me down and talk to me as they were getting very
worried about me.  it seems that my mom had told one of our employees that i
was on tour.  he then told them that the dead were a bunch of freaks that told
kids to go home and kill their parents and families.  after a few minutes of
discussion i finally convinced them that he was wrong (hallucinating, maybe?). 
and proceeded to put american beauty on the stereo, and mom still asks to hear
it when i am home.

later
