                WARNING: THIS CONTAINS NON-DEAD CONTENT.
Widespread Panic and PHISH at the Variety Arts Theater in Los Angeles 4/15/92.
Missed all of Widespread except their last number, so, no comment.
	I have never heard or seen Phish before last night. If it weren't for 
posts here that there was a phish.net formed, I would have never enjoyed this 
musical group. I would post this to the phish.net but I don't have the address.
Please send the address to me, and thanks to all the PhishHeads.
	Phish started playing at 9pm consisting of a keyboard player, lead 
and bass guitars and drums. Clear mylar with pastel paint on it was hung behind
the group and colored lights were shown on & thru for effect. They took a short
break and finished their 2nd set around 11:40
	The only way I can describe the music is rock-jazz and a little bit of
free-form-fiddlefaddle.  There were a few tunes that had some country, some 
with latin beats, most tunes had a few long instrumental jams. 
Songs I noted were named (I think):
Falling in the Well
Maybe So, Maybe No
The theme song from National Public Radio's "All Things Considered"
Bag it, Tag it (sell it to the butcher at the store)
Cracklin' Rose (a Neil Diamond tune)
Sweet Adeline (a capella - vocals only)
Encore: Rocky Top

A rather large hairy drummer dressed in a black and orange moo-moo came from
behind the drum kit with a pre 1970 Electrolux canister vacuum cleaner. He
put the hose end up to the mic and made some strange sounds with it and his
mouth.  Another interesting moment was when the lead guitarist played drums
while the moo-moo clad drummer played the cymbals and sang lead vocals on
Cracklin' Rose.  Both guitar players engaged in some antics involving tiny
trampolines and bending knees and turning round & round (PHISHersize?).
	In general, this was the most entertaining original group I have
seen in a very long time.  Their musicianship is pretty darned good 2, IMHO.

        PHISH = PHUN!                 Catch them live if you can.

in my last dead-flames (#747, v. 3), anne haycock says that she didn't really care for npc very much.
i must defend my former roomie bonnie, who sung their praises not too long ago-- between the two of 
us, we've seen npc about thirty or forty times in the last four years.  they are not a cover band any-
more-- they weren't when i first started going to see them in '89.  they have a cd out and are supposed
to have another coming out pretty soon.  anyway,  it's just my humble opinion, but i've always found 
them to be a superfun, dancey band and while some shows have been better than others, i've never been
disappointed.  

but then, i'm a serious potatohead, so i'm VERY biased.  i really like their tunes a lot.  if you 
haven't seen them since '87 , you ought to give them another try.  i think they've grown a lot
musically since then.  

                                                peace!!

Hey All,

I just got my tix for my annual May Right-coast vacation for the shoreline
run, and I had a few questions for any kind californians, to maybe (you
know) help me out with a little information.

	  1)  do the Shoreline tix go on sale on April 12th, from BASS?

	       (I ask becuase I need one more lawn seat for each of the
	       three shows for my girlfriend, :*)


	  2) Does BASS have a phone number 1-800 or otherwise (i.e. 1-415-)
	       that I may access for phone oreders, and

	  3) lastly, should I have the tix sent to my friend (and hosts)'s
house in San Francisco rather than to New York City (my address).


Any help on thee topics would be very much appreciated.  I heard a good
portion of the New Vault Release on WNEW G. Dead Hour last night
Dark Star > St. Stephen > start of the Eleven)   with a
neat phone call interview with Bob Weir and Danno (sp?), the DJ. Turns out
our boy bobby is in D.C. now (or was last night), for some

			      (get ready....)

	       LOBBYING!   wow.  I can't believe it.  No seriously, he's
working with some representatives of Greenpeace trying to get the Montana

A friend of mine has a traditional Irish version of this song, sung by her 
uncle. It's much faster and has fewer verses than Jerry's or Dylans, which is 
similar to jerry's. The chorus of "She's coming down the stairs, combing back 
her yellow hair" is repeated rather frequently throughout. I wonder if 
that's where the line in Cold Rain & Snow comes from.

I'd like to stand up and be counted at this point as one Deadhead who 
does not think it is Jerry's *responsibility* to keep the Deadhead
community alive and happy.  Talk about turning a joyous part of ones
life into a real *JOB*...it's no wonder that Jerry talks longingly at
times about the idea of the band taking a break.

Don't get me wrong - I hope to see the Dead continue to perform for 
many years to come.  However, if they announced their retirement
(temporary or permanent) tomorrow, I'd hope that the shouts of "how
could they do this to ME?" would be accompanied by many other voices
thanking each member of the band for all that they've given us through
the years, and wishing them all the fulfillment and inner peace they 
so richly deserve for the rest of their lives.

	Rumors of the demise of Solar Circus are greatly exaggerated!

	They have gone through a lineup change in the past month, but
	they are still alive and kickin'. I say them twice last week,
	once in NJ and then in DC. They have just released a live
	album on Relix Records called "Twilight Dance" and are

	They play %95 originals with a few covers (dead/dylan/jgb/etc).

	I'll post the tour dates for april later, check them out
	of you get a chance!

	If anyone is interested in tapes of Solar, drop me a line,

Phone: 588-6771
I just read the post of someone (sorry didn't save the name) who said they'd
boycot the classical Indian performance because they wouldn't let in children
under 10. While on one hand it seems unfortunate I'd like to also present what
some of the reasoning behind the ban may be. I have frequently been in small
performances where people brought children, even babies. It seems to me that I
am seeing more parents lately that are unwilling to control the outbursts of
their children or even remove themselves from an auditorium when their
screaming babies become a distraction to others in the audience as well. I
realize not ALL parents are irresponsible. The most recent episode for me was
at a Tibetan Monk performance of dance and chants. A woman four rows in front
of us had a baby that couldn't have been a year old. The baby's caterwauling
really started to annoy many people including our party. Even the monks in
front of the baby were distracted. When it did scream, her attempt to quiet
the baby was to bounce it up and down. This was even more distracting as it
created a sort of staccato effect. At the intermission I wrote a small note
(paraphrased here): "I don't wish to be forward but I have a suggestion. Your
baby is becoming a distraction. It is very loud and, as the monks are not, it
is disconcerting at best. If you find that you are unable to prevent the
disruption, might I suggest that you remove your baby from the auditorium
until the crying subsides? We would really appreciate it..." and so on. I
watched the lady get up at intermission to go to the restroom and the line was
long so she was still just barely in the hallway when she got in line. I
walked up beside her and smiled and held out the note. She took it and I left,
not wanting a confrontation. When she came back, she was fit to be tied. She
angrily thrust the note at her husband and was shaking her head. She loudly
proclaimed that she couldn't believe that someone could be so RUDE! She was
actually in shock! Her husband also seemed unhappy. They were looking around
but I guess she really didn't get a good look at me because they didn't focus
on me. They went on about it for the last 20 mins of the intermission. HOW
COULD I HAVE BEEN SO UNTHINKINGLY RUDE! I should have realized that the rights
of people to enjoy a performance ARE ALWAYS superceeded by an irresponsible
parent with a wailing child. I have many friends with children and they would
NEVER let this happen. However, this behavior has been exhibited at the Opera,
the Orchestra, Actors Theater, Movies (including small children at "R"
movies), etc. I just wanted to point out that the restrictions may have *some*
reasoning. I hope I haven't raised the ire of the net...it wasn't intended.
I'll just go and put on my asbestos suit now...

	Generally, any order sent in on the first day for these huge
stadium shows gets filled.  But I'm beginning to think that these may
actually be hard tickets this year, if only because everyone on Earth
seems to be mailordering...

	I had to skip Buffalo, which is the show I really wanted to see, 
because I'm a delegate to the Texas Democratic convention and since I have
to go see Jerry Brown on June 6,7,8 I miss Jerry Garcia on the 6th.. :-(
And now I'm having bad dreams about actually getting *bounced* (Ghu forbid!)

eveyone else that might remember me and 
I just want to say i wish i could get on this thing more often,
and not to just push my fledging sticker enterprise ( that may
break even one day...yes I still have :-) :-) :-) for anyone that
is interested) but to actually post something worth reading.

anyway, hope to see some of you in Vegas...my next shows for
sure.  For anyone going I highly recommend the Valley of Fire
State Park for camping....its about 40 minutes from the show
and its AWESOME  and beats the hell out of the casinos.  Its
just off the 15 about 40 minutes north of Vegas.

Anyways,  peace and love and all that cosmic jive

a raving deadhead, 

joe
