                A: the religious zealot copped it
                B: or it's a "Traditional"

or perhaps it just happens to have a similar chord progression; there are
many songs which exist as completely different musical pieces, yet they
have musical similarities; not having heard this "Mystery Train", i really
can't comment on whether that's the case

Another advantage the D5 has over the D6 is you can adjust the balance

Netfolk,
   After reading Matt Laurence's review of the Boston Omar Saeed performance,
I walked out of the computer cluster I was using and immediately saw a sign
posted on the door of the cluster: "Omar Saeed Thursday Night 10PM-1AM."
When fate hands you an opportunity like that, you run with it.
   The band played at a little Providence club/bar called the Brook Street
Cafe ($2 cover).  When I arrived at 11PM, the band was jamming and the place
was alive -- there are only about 10 tables that have a decent view of the
band at Brook St, so many people stood in the back near the bar watching them
play.  Low ceilings and a crowded house made for a very intimate atmosphere,
which seemed to suit the band fine.  By 12:30AM, people had cleared away most
of the tables near the front of the "stage" so they could dance, and the
band finished playing at about 12:45.  I didn't manage to catch any of the
song names -- too much noise to understand clearly what the band members were
saying between songs . . . but their music sounded great.  They used lyrics
very sparingly, opting instead for long jams that reminded me (and others with
me) of Phish.  A very friendly night.
   I have to admit, the name of the group almost scared me off.  I mean, when
you hear a name like the "Omar Saeed Quartet," you get the idea that their
music must have some Middle Eastern bend to it or something.  That made it
all the better when someone at the club told me that they simply named their
group after a guy in their Freshman dorm who they thought had a really cool
name.  My next step will be to pick up  their albulm.
   A very friendly (phriendly?) show.

Morning, folks!  (Well, at least it's morning here - if TicketMaster
opens at 9 am Eastern time, that's 6 am here in California...).

I called TM in Philadelphia this morning looking for Keswick tickets,
which were to go on sale today.  However, both operators with whom I
spoke could find no listing for the show.  So I called John Paluska 
to find out what was up - he said that despite all their best intentions,
sometimes TM doesn't get the tickets on the system by the date that was
arranged.  (I don't find this terribly surprising, I'm sure.)

Anyway, he's going to do a little research, figure out which ones went and
which ones are on hold, and get back to me so it can be posted here for
everyone's benefit (this will probably take a few hours).

He did mention that the on-sale date for St. Michael's tickets (Colchester)
has been delayed, but didn't mention a new date.

Keswick is apparently not yet on sale (according to the Philadelphia TM number,
(215) 336-2000).

Port Chester and Binghamton *are* on sale; you can call (212) 307-7171
to get yours. 

I'll post anything new as soon as I find out; if anyone would like to
independently verify that they got tickets (post or email), then I can
change the appropriate entries in the Fall Tour listing from "on sale 10/16"
to "on sale now!" 

time to have a cup of coffee and...catch my breath? no, get ready for work,
Shelly

Hellooooo, folks.
    At last, I'm at college and thus able to access the elusive Phishnet.
My plight is a familiar one ... I would like to increase my bootleg
collection (currently numbering 12) but obviously do not have much to
trade.  I'm looking for anyone in the Rhode Island area (I'm at Brown) who
has a bootleg collection I might be able to dub.
    Of course, if anyone outside of Rhode Island would like to help out
a struggling Phish fan, your efforts would not only be welcome, they would be
lauded.  Please drop a line: st001058@brownvm.brown.edu (catchy, isn't it?).
    How can Phish be avoiding almost all of New England on their fall tour?
Aaaaaaaaaaa!  Looks like Port Chester over Thanksgiving will be the only
possible choice.  Anyone planning on attending?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer! Hi, Steve!!

Well Portchester is on sale, though not on time... called at 12 and they
were about to sell me tickets when all these problems happened. They said
sorry, on sale at 12:30.  Called back a little before 12:30, and the lady
says "I don't think those are in the system yet, let me check... you're
lucky! They just went in." Cool, what I can't figure out though is if
I bought tickets right after they went in the system how come I'm in
row W? Were all those seats reserved by the Capitol Theater for box
office sales or something? Not that it really matters at Portchester
but its kind of strange.  Anyway I am getting pumped for the first Phish

This is a message of interest to all you Bay Area Unit Heads. 
While searching through the new listings at work today, I noticed  
that my second favorite HORDE band, Colonel Bruce Hampton and
the Aquarium Rescue Unit are playing at Slim's in San Francisco on
November 2 at 9:00 PM. Yes, I admit it. I work for that evil BASS
monopoly. Sorry guys. I hope you all don't consider me a traitor. :-)
Get this: Tickets are only $3. Of course there's a $1.50 service
charge, but I have to get paid, don't you know! You could bu
the tix at Slim's Box Office, but they have a buck surcharge so either
way you're screwed. I highly recommend this show. I've only seen
ARU once, and that was opening for Phish at my first show last April
at the Capitol Theatre. I was very impressed. Their bass player is
out of this world! Check out their album if you want an example
of what they sound like. It's pretty cool. Hope to see some of
you there, perhaps...

Ok, on the possum nonsense I posted about Marsupials and Placentals
and all that: according to R. Cowen's text "History of Life" and Lawlor's
"Living Mammals" I am dead wrong.  Sorry for the confusion.  Whomever
posted that possum is a corruption of opposum was completely correct.
I guess I need more sleep.

Now that I've gotten past that OPC, I have a recommendation to make to
everyone: I listen to Phish, the Dead, GSW, and various other bands
because I love the way they play their music live; I collect tapes of their
concerts because I like to listen to them again and again.  I have recently
run into a recording of a live show SO incredible that I had to share it
with everyone.  If you don't already own it, go out and buy yourself a
copy of
                PAUL SIMON LIVE IN CENTRAL PARK, 1991
preferably on CD.
  Not only is the concert absolutely AMAZING, not only are the performances
of each song original and interesting takes on great but somewhat tired,
but the recording of the concert is TOP NOTCH.  The engineer who did this
really cared about capturing the atmosphere of the show, capturing all the
music, even capturing the sound stage.  I took a study break earlier this
afternoon, and turned on "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and I am now in the
Computer Center to avoid going back home and listening to the whole album
(I have work to do, doncha know).
So anyway, go get this CD.  Listen to it.  It's amazing.  I wish all
my Phish tapes sounded this good...

Jeez, these guys are amazing musicians. I am just constantly overjoyed and

Lizards." This is such a slinky, kickin' tune! It was the first phish song
that I heard live and I was blown away. I actually learned the story of it
through a lizards skit that a group of campers at the camp that I work at
(Camp Celo) did. One of my fellow counselors directed, and then gave me
last years Halloween Armstrong bootleg. When it went from Squirming into
Lizards, I was, well...WOWED! Amazing shit.
Anyhow, now for the grovel part: I am begging for bootlegs. I have very few
phish 'legs and a few more dead, so I don't have much to trade for. But, if
someone is feeling particularly generous and lovin', I'd like to get some

I have the same song list of roughly the same vintage ('89).  It was
from a promo package that I got a hold of after Phish played Dartmouth
that spring.  It included some clippings, a photo (not the same one you
describe; I've seen that one and mine's much more normal!), and the song
list.  I transcribed the entire list long ago, so someone could probably
dig it up in the archives.  Although way out of date now, it has in the
past provided several gems of information, such as who wrote Ya Mar, how
you spell Suzy Greenburg (unfortunately, I never can remember!), and, in
this case, the "official" title of "Oh, Possum".
