Hey Now!
  As an on and off Midwesterner who has seen these folks for
several years now, here is my OPINION

These guys, about, oh, four years ago and earlier, used to be HOT
HOT HOT.  I really liked them a lot.  They had this great lead
guitarist by the name of Scott, who looked a lot like a young Jerry.
The whole band (except the bassist), resembled the band in many ways,
especially the Pat, the then-Weir man (when Bobby sported that ponytail
in '89, sure enough, Pat did too).
For whatever reason, Scott and a couple of the other original guys
have left over the years, but rumor has it that it is because
they couldn't get along with Pat, but these are RUMORS.
They sound okay...they aren't very original though...their originals
sound like recombinations of Dead tunes (like So Many Roads seems
to be a mix of many Jerry tunes).  I used to like their Dead covers
a lot more, but I have either burned out on them or something.
My number one fault with them is that they don't have too much originality.
If you are in a bar and they happen to be playing, then COOL, and
definately check them out, and if you want a fun bash, go on their
boat trip, but I personally am very bored with their music, and I
won't make the trip.
Don't mean to be so negative, I have lots of respect for any band that
can go off and perform anything of decent quality, and that includes
the Deadbeats.  
Later,
Joe

I remamber reading that as well. At the time I thought, "WOW, what an
interesting concept. Great (understatement!) talent, great
backgrounds, what could there be not to like?" 

I hope that it becomes a reality, at least for one show. If I couldn't
make it to the show, I know someone would have a tape.:-) 

And maybe they would start a new trend. The no material thing, ya

Regarding the postings about violence at recent Metallica and Ozzy shows:

When in Hamilton I was chatting with the kind usher durring the break who 
graciously allowed me to stand on "her" landing for the show.  I asked her if 
she would beworking the Metallica shows they were advertising on the 
scoreboard.  She said she was and was unsure what to expect.  I told her I'd
never seen them, but that she should not expect anything as easygoing as
Deadheads.  A few days later I heard the reports of an usher being dangeled by
his/her ankles (not at  Copps thankfully!) and it made me think of this 
conversation.  BTW, I'm sure many of you know that Metallica allows fans to 
tape their shows with the Dead as their model.  I can't imagine who would want 
to do it though...seems likely that you might get your equipment ripped off at
knife point or have your mike stands knocked over by falling ushers :-}.

The sad thing about the Ozzy thing is that the riot mentioned took place at a 
_benefit_ concert to buy a tomb for former Ozzy guitarist Randy Rhoudes (sp).  
The damage to the band equipment was estimated at 100,000.  Pretty fucking 
lame.

(Flameproof:  I am not stereotyping Metal fans in this post.  Just observing 
that however bad people consider seat saving, showing up w/o tickets, etc. our 
scene's problems are pretty mild compared to this.  I realize not all Metal 
concerts or fans behave this way.)

(Disclamer:  I work at a heavy-metal radio station (it pays) and this is where 
I get my info.  I am not a Metal fan and have never seen the above groups 
live)

A friend of mine, who is a buddy of Bear & his son & consequently
spends a lot of time back stage decided during spring tour to ask
Ramrod about all the rumors.  

Ramrod's answer:  it's all horsesh*t or, as he put it, "this train's
going to keep on going until it derails."  And there are no signs of
that derailment being imminent.

The moral:  rumors are sometimes fun, & sometimes interesting, but you
should *never* actually accept them as the truth.

Now, the rumor *I'm* interested in has to do with another batch of
new songs.  Anybody hear anything?

Hello folks,
Just wanted to pass this on.  I saw Tracey Chapman there a couple of years
ago.  Accoustics are good (the place has a similar design the the DeerCreek
venue), but you should be warned that the security is very anal about
allowing food and water (even in sealed containers, I believe) into the show.
This is done, of course, to insure more beer/food sales.
So I wouldn't take your favorite water bottle, but perhaps something
colapsable (somehow that doesn't look right..) to bring in, and fill at the
show.
Have a good tour/show...

I'll bet I'm the local Negativland expert around here, so here goes:

I could be wrong, but this sounds A LOT like a track by Negativland on
their _Escape From Noise_ album. The name of track escapes (heh) me at
the moment, but email me if you're interested and I'll look at the
album when I get home.

Mickey Hart and Jerry Garcia are both given performance credits on the
track (percussion and guitar, naturally). They're in the background,
and, in the foreground three teenaged LA natives are complaining that
San Francisco isn't LA. With the abovementioned homophobic slur (hmm,
misogynic, too: "It's a hot town for puss.") The voices are modified
using the usual Negativland-delay-line-cartoon-sound-effects
treatment. Even so, I would be *very* surprised to find out that the
voices are Jerry's and Mickey's.

Negativland is a Bay Area ("Negativland" actually means Contra
Costa County) industrial band that's been around for many years.
They've done many a live show on KPFA, with phone calls dynamically
mixed in. Neat stuff. 

Contact me about tapes of Negativland from the radio...

For those of you who might not have heard.  The reason that tapers
tickets have become more scarce all of a sudden is because starting
with the Cal Expo & Shoreline shows they are only selling 200 tapers
tickets per show.  My friend who is a taper, and got shut out for the
first time, called and asked the mail order hotlline why he got shut
out and they said that they had reduced the tapers section to 200 
for each show because there were so many people using the tapers
tickets to get in with their equipment and then going FOB to tape.
They feel that if they limit it to 200 people it will be easier to
keep track of that number of people.  They are going to start cracking
down on the FOB tapers instead of just ignoring them for the most part.
Apparently they are going to take a head count several times during 
the show and if there are not 200 tapers then they will be down front
looking for them.  Let's hope this isn't the first step to getting
rid of the tapers section!

Now you know,
Brad

So, today is the last day.  I'll accept any I get today, but that's

We're up to around 120 or so.  Look for the tree on Wed. or Thurs.
I have three of the 1st level people's tapes done and will get even

There seems to be endless discussion of Deadhead behavior on this group,
which is good!  It seems to me that just as I am ready to believe that
heads like myself are some of the best people on earth, someone proves me
wrong!  This is not to say police, security, and venue authorities haven't
conspired at times to make the situation worse, but I think we need
(Including myself) to keep a positive attitude in mind.

To that end, do something positive at the shows!  One thing I try to do is
before every show, go to Sam's wholesale or some other discount store, and
pick up the extra large box of garbage bags.  It costs about $10.  I then
pass them out at no charge to anyone who wants one.  Hopefully, if any of
you see me at a show, you'll use the bag...if you don't, someone else will
have to clean up after you.  

Little things like this will definitely improve our image!

Welcome to the net, buddy.  We really are a caring/sensitive group, as long
as you see things exactly the way we do.  Sure, I don't want to read about
personal habbits of the band members.  But maybe the fellow was new around
