At the most recent Shoreline shows I noticed that during one of the
breaks they put on the Beatles disc Revolver with a note on it saying
don't play track 14 (that is Tomorrow Never Knows) which they played
for the encore that night.

Also at Buckeye Lake this summer as all the front Railers and tapers
ran into the venue they played something like Ride of the Valkerys or
the 1812 overture or something and it was really loud and everyone
cheered as they got to their primo spot on the lawn.

This is starting to get less and less Dead-oriented, but I feel the need to
clarify my position--I do not support a complete boycott of the Dead shows in
Denver.  I just can't go with a clear conscience.  If you can, great, whatever,
fine.  I don't care what you do, and I wouldn't presume to judge that my view-
point should be everybody's viewpoint.  My opinion relates only to me, and this
is it: I will not go to Colorado or buy anything from Colorado until the 
amendmene is repealed or superceded.  I know this is a fine distinction, so let
me point it out: I am making my decision for myself.  If you think the amend-
ment is wrong but still think it's okay to go to the shows, that's fine--
you are just as 'right' as I am, and I don't think you're a horrible person or
anything.

Anyone have this information handy?  Anyone been there that could

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1992 02:30:55 GMT

After wading thru the last 2 weeks of messages (love those grovels....NOT!)
I thought I'd add a few (s)cents...

Re: Denver scene --

	I've seen a lot of grovels for tix from out-of-state. If you can get
tickets, GREAT! "Come on down," as Bob Barker would squeal. But if you don't
have tix, "Please don't come," as Phil would say. The scene is going to be 
heinous-ly crowded already, and we don't get too many shows out this way.
I'd hate to have lots of o-o-towners without tickets create a bigger hassle,
and possibly ruin the chance to have the Boyz come back again (read: "Hampton"
"Kaiser" "Frost" -- and at least there are other venues in CA and VA where
they can play). So please don't be flamed, but please stay home if you've got
no tix.

Re: Tempe seating --

	GA is the WAY!!  The reserved section is tight, crampede, and a dust 
basin...it's much easier to roam, do the beer garden, dance, etc.,  when you're
on the lawn section. And yes, it is a sloping lawn, though a little less-than-
green in some areas. Glenn R. and I had a killer time on the lawn 2 years ago
-- pretty good sound (they set extra speakers up) and much more relaxed and
generally security-free.

Re: Potential boycott due to Amendment 2 passing

	Most of you net.heads are right....it would only help the scumbag/
closeminded establishment accomplish their DavidDuke-ish goals. Write a
letter, call YOUR congressman/congresswoman so it won't happen in your
state, and only buy from businesses that openly support anti-discrimination.
Those are some ways you can help open the minds of BUTTHEADS everywhere.
The Dead boycotting would only ruin a good time for people, most of whom 
(not ALL, I know...there are a few bassackwards 'Heads out there) would
never vote for such a sleazy, silver-tongue-worded piece of legislation.

Now with that all spewed...ON WITH THE SHOWS!!!

Which gives the "God didn't mean for you to hear THAT!"
crowd a convenient way to do the censoring.  As they also
do to keep X- and R-rated movies out of their towns.

Some people do have a problem with having our movies censored
to get the right rating from the MPAA system.  Some of us
got a chance to tell Jack Valenti so when he first presented
the idea, 25 years ago.  Fat lot of good that did.

They might, if they existed.  We have an FCC that requires that
all broadcasting be appropriate for children, especially if
the broadcaster is politically out of favor.

What a great role model.

Tipper was wrong.  Zappa was right.  Censorship sucks, whatever
you call it.

Travelling heads,
     Been lurking for a couple months, but this is my first post.  I
     thought this was a cool thread and thought I'd mention the sweet
     sounds of the Boyz floating periodically out of Comedor Sara in
     Managua, Nicaragua.  Its mainly a hang-out for internationalist
     in Nica and thanks to the efforts of frostback expatriates like
     Ian M. and Nick C., as well as gringos like Tom and Bill G., the
     sound system stays up and playing with the band.  With Victoria
     brew and revamped menu which now includes Hong Kong fried rice,
     Sara's is the obvious choice for folks who want to exercize their
     English while visiting the land of Sandino.  I first stumbled on the
     spot in '86 by following the unmistakable sound of Black Peter.
                                      Later, John (an Other One)

Ok, this sounds like a great idea, just a couple questions.

What reservations are involved here?

How will this help Native Americans?

Will all fences be torn down from the Canadian border to Texas, so
that the Buffalo can regain the range necessary to foster healthy
reinstatement?

Will the BLM and BIA be involved in this?

I thought everyone who was interested already knew about the Spins New

if they are playing NEw Years.  So, here's the info for all that care:

Spin Doctors 12/31/92 at the Beacon Theatre, NYC.  Tickets $35 on sale now
at Ticketmaster/Ticketmaster phone charge.  Also, don't wait if you want to
go, because the concert is almost sold out now!!

In addition, for those interested, the Spins will be playing at least one
other show (right now, 12/29) during that week, so keep an ear open for
on sale info!

good filler! Here are a couple of the more interesting that you might want to 
check out, or you might have already heard if you've traded with me recently:


It's A Man's World    James Brown  (One of Pig's best performed tunes IMHO)

Samson and Delilah    The Blasters (Figure this out: HARD GOSPEL)

I just wanted to echo a bit of Kent Stewart's poetic post about hearing the
dead's music Somewhere Else:

Does this happen to others?  You stumble into some dead music playing on a
radio somewhere, even in your own car, or on somebody's boombox, or a tape
whispering out of little speakers at Kinko's, that it tends to sound
*especially* sweet, even if it's a studio cut you've heard 10^6 times?

This inevitably happens to me.  They always sound *different* and *special* out
of my usual listening context (walkman while running, car tape deck or home
stereo).  

The most memorable new-context dead listening event of my experience was the
*UTTER JOY* of hearing Truckin (right off AmBeaut) blaring out of the Himalayan
Curd Shop, right in the heart of downtown Kathmandu, in June of 1973.  I had
been dead-celibate for a year and boy, did that ever MAKE MY DAY (along with
the cosmic yogurt they sold and the bikes they rented)!  And the proprietor had
a pretty good tape collection too!

Anybody else have similar experiences? (Not necessarily as exotic as Nepal, of
course...this could get to be like Hobie's T-shirt premium:  Show them a
picture taken of you in a foreign country wearing one of their T-shirts and you
get a free breakfast.  Sorry, no premiums offered here, just distraction from
what you're SUPPOSED to be doing sitting at that terminal!!)
