as previously mentioned, there's a great interview with Robert
Hunter in the current Poetry Flash, a monthly periodical in the Bay
area (Dec 92 issue).

totally out-of-context sample:
"A cat dictated China Cat Sunflower to me.  It was just sittin on my
stomach, purring away, and sayin this stuff.  I just write it down;
I guess it's plagiarism.  I've credited the cat, right?....."

anyway, i just phoned the paper's office.  If you'd like a copy,
send a buck for postage to Poetry Flash, 1450 Fourth St. #4,
Berkeley CA 94704.
by the way, they're partially funded by the Rex Foundation.

This answers some recent questions raised by recent _rumors_ about Chapel

in response to kaufman@gmuvax2.gmu.edu-
  UNC-CH's spring break is March 5-15 (Unfortunately).

I agree with much that collins@gibbs.oit.unc.edu has to say, but hey what
forum is perfect?  I don't see a GD concert as an impossibility.

APOEHLER@ucs.indiana.edu inquires-
>>For my own info, where is this Chapel Hill, anyway? 
*this* Chapel Hill is 6hs NE HotLanta.

Personally, I think the best way to make sure you don't miss the sping
tour announcements is to read the newsgroup everyday and/or subsribe to

Reminds me of some stage banter from either 12/30 or 12/31/81.  Can't quite 
recall which.  Anyway, during the Dead's first set, something went horribly
wrong with Jerry's system.  They finished up whatever they were playing, and
stopped.  Jerry started fiddling with knobs, then gesticulating wildly to
Parish (who was still off-stage).  Jerry was clearly pissed about something.
Parish came rushing out, and started fiddling with cords knobs and connectors,
all the while, Jerry is standing there glowering at the world at large.

At this point Bob steps up to the mike and says, "Jerry's upset because he didn't
get his new fuzz-tone for Christmas."

Nice to hear he FINALLY got it,

Julie and I will be changing our location soon (maybe very soon), and
we're considering making a lifestyle change at the same time. Our
thought is why pour most of our money into monthly rent, where the
money simply disappears. Wouldn't it make more sense, we're thinking,
to spend that money on something we get to keep? But we aren't at all
ready to settle down into one place with a house or anything like that
(besides, a house would be far beyond our means). So we're kicking
around the idea of purchasing and living in some mobile living
vehicle. This brings up two problems. One, what sort of vehicle
would be appropriate? Some sort of used RV? Or a renovated bus?
We don't want a trailer home, we're looking for something we can drive
to some shows, or camping (or summer tour, or between jobs).
Second, and more importantly, where would we put it? We're not
talking about perpetual life on the road. Julie is going to be working,
and I'll be doing something (work? school?). We want to be ABLE to
move, and to travel, but on a day to day basis we want a stable
location, preferably with access to electricity and telephone
lines. But we don't think we want to be in a trailer park. Too many
rules and regulations. Besides, we don't think most would even allow an
RV or bus.

This is any idea in infancy. We haven't really worked out even the most
basic problems yet. If you have any thoughts on this, or better yet, any
experience with anything like this, please write! Specifically, it
looks like we'll be relocating to the San Francisco area (with any
luck: Julie has sights on a magazine position there). Are there any
hip communities out there where this sort of thing is happening? Does
anyone have experience living in a vehicle (as opposed to extended
traveling - we've spent three months living in a Honda Accord, but
this would be HOME, no home base somewhere else). Thoughts? Encouragement?
DIScouragement?

Looking forward to hearing from you -

Regarding that last, call me crazy, but I've always thought Jer's solo
in Help/Slipknot on One From the Vault has a distinct Jimmy Page sound
for a minute or so. Than it fades away, but I always notice it. Anyone

Hey There John!!!

I was excited to see your post on NPC, and tried, unsuccessfully,to get a hold
of you through e-mail.  I saw these guys in Porchester, New York four months
before my first show.  In fact they were the deciding factor.  I had always
wanted to go to a show, but after seeing NPC, I was exstatic.  Anyway, I'd
love to get some tapes of New Potato Caboose, and I was wondering if you might

Hoping to hear from you soon.

It would be great if the boys finally made their way to Arkansas! I lived

 they ever go to Fayetteville, I know lots of folks that will come out of
the hills and the woodwork to see them. They are building a new basketball
arena, seems Barnhill isn't big enough for the SEC, and it was financed by
Sam Walton ( of WalMart fame ) or his brother. So the Dead could christen
the new place, or play at the Walton Arts center in town. The Dead in
Fayetteville (or even Little Rock) would be great. We now have dead tapes
and hog hats in the White House. THe world is going in the right direction.

Newsgroups: rec.music.gdead

It was only the third show I've seen, not counting the Bill Graham party
at the Polo Grounds. But I've got somewhat different impressions than
others I've read in this group.

First of all, the warm-up band was a major down. If their whole set had
been like their first song, the dancers and bones and whatever aboriginal
instrument the guy in the middle was playing, it would have been fine.
But then they went into these things I'd expect to see in any Holiday Inn
lounge anywhere in the country. It was embarassing.

If they are interested in bringing out new acts, I just wish they'd select
them a little more carefully. Especially after all the stuff Mickey Hart has
done with drummers from all over the world.

As for THE sets: Jack Straw was wonderful. The whole attitude of that song
just amazes me every time. Then into Berfa. The last time I saw them, Jerry
kicked out "Test me test me" like I had never heard it before, or as it turns
out, since. Somewhere about the middle of that song was like watching a hot
air balloon settle to the ground after a long flight. And that seemed to set
the tone for the rest of the show.

In a word, subdued. The half-tempo FOTD was just right, a completely different
song than the "American Beauty" version. Bird Song was amazing. Watching the
melody get picked apart bit by bit then get sucked back together before I at
least realized what was happening.

Musically, it was amazing, but it didn't have quite the same spirit I had seen
in the other shows. Not better or worse, just different. Is this just a
perspective from my lack of experience here, or is there something else
going on?
