The day Phish played Stanford was a gorgeous _hot_ Saturday afternoon. Right
up front, between the stage and the crowd barrier was a Stanford Phish-head 
(or whatever you'd like to call us...) acting as a crowd controller. Well,
there wasn't really much controlling to be done. It was too nice a day and the
scene was too intimate for any problems to ensue. He was wielding an enormous
super soaker squirt gun and would occasionally douse those of us in the
audience who were within range. Trey really got a kick out of this and in the
second set (as you noticed) gave time for a few squirt gun breaks. There
probably would have been more squirt gun breaks, but our friendly security 
dude's super soaker ran out of water. Shucks.

Hope that answers your first question. 'Twas probably my favorite show.

Hi Kids -

I'm leaving the country for a while.  Most of you could give a rat's 
hindquarters, but those of you who know - you know!  I'll be back in 
January, and hope to accomplish all those trades I've promised.  Also, 
the Reverse Tape Grovel III will be extended to those PHISH DIGEST 
READERS who have little or no live Phish - watch for it!  Just wanted to 
say that, despite having to pore through tix grovels, net gathering 
notices and countless ASCII maps of the US (east of the Mississippi 
only, of course), I still look forward to getting the Digest in my 
mailbox.  You guys and gals are family in a sense that's hard to 
describe in any terms other than COMMUNITY.  Hope everyone gets what 
they want from the big fat dude in the red suit (no, not Jerry!).  Y'all 
enjoy NYE, y'hear?

Alek


ps - Primus sucks!  While I hesitate to do any comparisons of Phish, I 
must say that Primus, at least on "...Seas of Cheese" sounds exactly 
like a cross between Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Residents.

pps - Before you flame me on my (non)dissing of Primus, don't - if you

Andrew Colasanti asked about several "Unknown tapes"
Somebody already got the first one.
The second is Nightstage, Cambridge, MA 4/30/89 set I.
It should read (Ben Hunter Intro, I Didn't Know, You Enjoy Myself, 
Gamehenge Narrative, McGrupp, Lizards, Divided Sky, Wilson, 
Peaches & Regalia, Antelope, Terrapin, Possum

The second set included Dog Done Gone and Harry Hood as I recall.
Interestingly, Trey explains Harry Hood; the song is supposedly 
about the little man on the milk carton of Harry Hood milk.
"Where do you go when the lights go out?" i.e. where does the little
man go when you close the refrigerator door? does he climb out a 
hole in the back of the fridge, or what? I'm not sure about the 
"Thank you Mr. Minor" part. Anybody? Trey?

 Nope, merely editorializing. It was extendo, and it was especially

        I would first like to sat that this is a grovel,if youare fed up
with this subject, keep going.
 I do need a ticket to NYE, I had no idea that I would be on the east coast
for New Years when the tickets went on sale and now I am stuck without one.

        I would also like to comment on the current ticket/tape grovel debate
-I am obviously in favor of them being part of the net-and obviously
partially because I need a ticket. I also think that the serve a valid
purpose. Ticket grovels, because it prevents people from hanging around
outside the show, waving one finger in a deadhead-like manner, especially
in the middle of winter. This type of hanging around, parking lot scene
only hurts the bands reputation, and can make it hard for them to return
to some venues. BUT, even though I don't like a lot scene, if I find myself
ticket-less, then I will be out there ticket begging. Because I really
want to see the show. This desperation can also lead to increased scalper
bissiness(YUCK!! OOOO, HOW I LOATHE THOSE SCUMBAGS)and that is about the
worst thing that can happen to the Phish scene.
        O.K. I will make this one shorter, I also have no problems with
tape groveling, I mean let's stop and think a little bit here, WHAT ARE
WE ALL TALKING ABOUT???, music, really good music that should be shared,
and if this is a place where people can get a hold of some more tapes
then great, I welcome that exchange.

        Finally, I guess, in a perfect world everyone would simply offer
tickets and tapes and no one would go without, BUT how is anyone going to
what you need unless you ask for it. I would like to think that this is
a community where people could ask for help without having to grovel, and
where people be willing to offer help without hesitation.We all share a
love for Phish, and tickets and tapes are the 2 best ways that we can
enjoy the band together.

        Thank you for your time, please e-mail me if you
can help me out with a ticket, or if you have any comments on what I have
written, I welcome your responses.

     Hello Pholks,
   Just wanted to add a personal experience to the "tape grovel/trading"
 over the net discussion.
   I've made some great friends over the net.  I've also been exposed to
  some **wonderfully compassionate people*** particularly Lisa Pollack
 who never met or wrote to me before, but took time out of her exam 
  schedule to console me about the death of a family member.

     I also like the net because I can exchange information with pholks, 
  be it about tapes, the HPB, song history or other topics.
     Limiting the net has its drawbacks.  If we limit one item, say ticket
  grovels, where do we draw the line next time when people are sick of
  questions about songs?

    Taping is an especially sensitive issue with me.  Anyone who knows me
 even marginally knows how SERIOUSLY I take this hobby.  Now - I have hooked
 up with two other major traders thru .....THE NET!  The net is also a terrific environment for beginner tapers to hook up with each other.  One probleem
  facing us is the difference between grovels and trades.  If we forbid grovels
  or put them in a separate file, were treating them differently then trades.
These scenarios both stand the best chance of response in the same forum,
  the net.  Perhaps Shelly's request that people be curteous and put
  "grovel" in the header is the best solution.  That way programs that
  automatically delete articles with "grovel" in the title will be deleted
  by the people who dont want them, and anyone interested can still take a quick
  glance if they're inclined.

   Now...Some business...
    I am looking for a midwest taper to trade with. (Brian S. with the 
  Neumann, if you're out there, I lost your address and phone #)
  I have most of the east tour including Montreal and 200 hrs of mostly 
  crisp boards and am looking for someone similarly situated to do some
  volume trading with that has the Midwest shows from this tour.

  Next...Shelly, Rich, Sean or Matt (or anyone) - has anyone thought of
   sending a copy of the FAQ file automatically to anyone who requests to
  be added to the digestifier list with directions to "Please read this
   in advance of posting your first messages"  Have people also been
  updating the FAQ file, I've noticed several new "frequently asked
  questions - like the Paul and Silas one.

   Last - any feedback on my Big Ball Jam suggestion - making one end of the
   audience high notes and the other low notes so that the crowd could
   control what notes get played.  Some people wrote me that they liked it,
   but I was wondering what Sean, Matt, Shell & others thought.

   BTW - Markus - I disagree with you.  I like the signals (except all fall 
          down.)
Thanx - peace.

You're right Shelly...in fact, if i could, I'd see them for a week
straight! So this might not fix the crowding, though it may impact the
number of drunk-frat types vs. true fans in the venue. Which would make
a huge impact on enjoyability, since we know that most of the people in
"the scene" are conscientious types who want to keep it fun. (Right? :-)

And if they play multiple shows in a given town (say mine) then I have a
higher probability of seeing them at least once, regardless of how many
tickets everybody buys. Besides, i know _i_ couldn't afford to buy
tickets for 3 or four straight shows, so at least one of the later shows
is more possible. Like, say the Dead play Friday, Saturday, Sunday; or
Saturday, Sunday Monday. You KNOW the Friday and Saturday shows will
sell out first, so more people who REALLY wanna go get a chance at the
Sunday/Monday shows.....

And if all the shows sell out, that's all the more reason for the band
to stick around a bit before rushing off to the next town; they're
definitely not losing money by staying still, and it's good for the soul
to kick back a bit now and then.

"Bandwidth", as people use it here, usually refers to net traffic.
I.E. -  "Stop wasting bandwidth with dumb posts that no one cares about."
They are refering to network traffic over news servers.  When you 
post an article, it gets copied to hundreds of thousands news servers
all over the world, thereby wasting an agonizingly large amount of 
disk space and network time.  I know places that actually charge you 
money depending on how much time you use their network and disk space.  
	I think the more technical definition of bandwidth has something
to do with the different frequencys that can travel through a wire, 
thereby limiting how much information can be sent, but I'm sure someone
will waste some bandwidth correcting me... ;^)

Now that rec.music.phish has gotten so huge, I would strongly suggest

FLAME, TICKETS, LONG and
maybe a few others and we attempt to encourage people to add these words
in their Subject: lines. I don't receive the digest, i have access to a
newsreader; but it's clear to me that when i log on and find 488 unread
messages, chances are the Digest subscribers are getting a lot of useless
crap.

I have been seeing more and more complaints from Digest subscribers
about the amount of useless drivel they are getting. I can just skip
this stuff; for them it may not be so easy. Whoever is in charge of the
Digestifier, is it possible to get somebody to hack on it a bit? I would
be glad to put keywords in my Subject: lines to keep certain posts out
of the Digest; most of the rest of us probably would, too.

Further suggestions?
