                       PEACE PEOPLE!
 
I've been reading the digest for about a week now, and I really
dig hearing what y'all have to say.  I'm glad to finally be a
part of all of this.
 
One thing I haven't seen referred to yet are the huge number of
illusions the band makes to other songs.  For example, my May 5,
1990 Pearl Street tape has a version of Bath Tub Gin on it in
which Page solos with the really cool main theme from Rhapsody in
Blue by Gershwin, you know the "De de de de dah dah dah dah de de
de de de ..." part.  Well ... it's a great line when he does it. 
Anyway, I'm noticing those kinds of references all the time. 
Other examples include:  Somerville, July 19, 1991, David Bowie,
during the middle jam part (and what a jam it is!) listen to the
line Trey plays.  It's the theme from Jeopardy.  A few songs
later in YEM you end up hearing a hook in Edgar Winter's
Frankenstein.  One last example, a brief allusion to The Odd
Couple theme in Harry Hood at the Townsend, August 26, 1989 show. 
There are lots more.  They seem quite fond of the theme to Andy
Griffith, especially in Possum.
 
I can't wait to see y'all at the shows coming up.  Less than 24
hours to go.  WOO EEEE!
 
May you live, love and prosper,
 
 
 
Dan

	According to the latest Phish Newsletter, Phish are
tentatively planning a tour of Europe between June 18th and July 4th.
The countries they might visit are:

	England
	Germany
	Denmark (probably the Copenhagen festival)
	Holland

  Is there any European fans out there or does anyone know people in Europe
where some of us U.S. fans can stay to keep the cost of the trip down?
Also, anyone else think they might be out there and want to meet up?

I just got a couple of bootlegs of Widespread Panic.  I remember someone
on the network saying they weren't that great (or that's what I misread
them as saying) anyway, I can't believe I was actually considering skipping
them.  They are really fantastic!  In fact they are so great it is 
unbelievable that there could be this much music in the world.  Isn't life
really great?  Doesn't it make you happy?  I mean people are starving
and dying and killing and all this shit that's so bad and then there's
this music and it's not a solution it's not even an attempt at a solution, 
maybe it's even an opiate of us, but it's so full and it is only thing that
makes anything worth anything.  Without it I swear to God I'd end it right
now.  That might sound fragile, and it is but it is also so deep and solid
because people are always going to be doing this, making joy making energy
for other people.  It's sort of pure imagination.  I had dinner with Ken
Kesey on thurday and we all got drunk on Mai Tai's at this chinese restaurant
and talked about God and the sixties, and he was saying the only thing that
can save us now is to accept the few miracles we have left. It all comes
from somewhere you know?  It's the opposite of boring
sunday afternoons and groggy mean monday mornings.  I haven't had this kind of
reaction to any music since Arrowhead.  God!  Damn! Boy! Shit!
I can't wait for wednesday in LA, thursday, friday, everyone come to saturday
we'll get you in, then Oregon!  Yeah! Yeah! happy! Yeah!  All those
weeks and months of waiting since New Years.  This is a simple message saying
when someone smiles at you and you're at a Phish concert, and you're happy,
you're really glad, smile back big and wise. real BIG and WISE ...

Sorry if this appears twice; I'm using a poor netnews interface
--------------------
   Hello!
   I'm not quite sure how to introduce this - It may sound
a little odd if you don't know who I am, or if you don't
understand what I'm doing.  It's a bit tough to introduce
myself in this setting, so I guess I'll leave that alone, but
I'll try to explain a bit about what I'm trying to do.
   Over the past year or so, I've volunteered or been
called on to run 'tape trees' for various groups like
rec.music.gdead and rec.music.phish.  If you don't know what
it is, a tape tree is a way of distributing tapes to a large
number of people: I have a tape that I want everyone to have,
so I make copies for 5 people, and each of them makes copies for
5 more people, and each of them makes copies for 5 more
people, and so on until everyone who's asked for them has
tapes.  (For Grateful Dead and Phish tapes, this is
completely legal, and is done with the blessing of the band.)
The whole thing is organized with two things in mind:
1)That nobody gets tapes from two people, and 2)That the
tapes lose as little of their quality as possible in the
copying.  To further the second cause, I always ask people to
tell me what kind of tape decks they'll be using to dub, and I put
the people with the best decks at the top of the list.
   Recently it has occurred to me that there are a LARGE
number of cassette tape decks out there, and I'm sure I don't
know about them all.  So what I'd like to do with this survey
is collect specs and features for a large number of tape
decks and put them together into a large list.  I think this will
benefit not only people like me who build tape trees, but also
anyone who is shopping for a new tape deck, or who is trading
tapes with someone and wants to know what kind of deck they
have.

   If you have a few spare minutes, please fill out the
form below and mail it back to me.  I'll post the list of
tape decks here sometime soon, after all the replies die down
and I get the thing organized.
   Thanks very much for your time and effort!

Manufacturer's Name:
Model Number:
What year was this deck produced?
Is this a single deck or dubbing deck?

I've often wondered if Fluffhead is for what my life I sought. They do still
play it, people have just been negligent in posting setlists.  There was
one at winston-salem, and probably one or more since then... sadly they
seem to only pull it out on now and then. I dunno if they play it less
frequently now than they used to, I was spoiled since I saw it at 2 of
my first three shows!!!  But that was over more than a year so not a goot
meter.  Does anyone know why they don't play Slave to the Traffic Light,
or Tela anymore!?  Come on you west coasters!!! Let's see some set lists!

He said that there will be a show at the Riviera theatre

ticket master(I think) and Terrapin Station.  Also he
told me that there will be a show in Syracuse on the 9th.

One thing that works WELL in Double Decks is the advantage of not running it
through the AMP.. which reduces electrical interferance.  It also gives someone
the option of doing something else with the system (such as listening to a CD)
when making tons of tapes (as I made 30+ copies of the Amy's Farm tapes and got
sick of them after the 15th time).

If I Only Had a Brain

I could while away the hours,
Conversin' with the flowers,
Consultin' with the rain.
My head I'd be scratchin,
While my thoughts were busy hatchin' 
If I only had a brain.

I could solve any riddle,
For any individ'al,
In trouble, or in pain.
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
I would be another Lincoln,
If I only had a brain.

Oh, I, could tell you why, the ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I'd never thought before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.

I would not be just a nothin',
My head all full of stuffin,
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry,
Life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain.

absorption device" or something along those lines.  I always thought that
Sorbothane was a shoe insert for athletic-type stuph.   :) 
--I've got a pair of insoles in my shoes made of that stuph.....
2)It's getting close to that time of Midwestern Phish shows and I'm 
wondering what would be good gathering places in Madison and Milwaukee.
Preferably something for those of us who are slightly under 21 and have no

i just rethought something i posted a tad bit ago and would like to change what 
i said

hooking your decks directly together will let you compare source and copy, just 
by listening to the output of the recording deck and using the tape monitor 
button on the deck to switch back and forth, instead of the tape monitor switch 
on the amp; i guess by-passing the circuitry of the amp probably is a good idea

The last digest had lots of stuff about people inquiring about where to buy 
blank tapes. The best thing I have found is to buy a Sunday NYT and look at the 
add from electronic stores. East 33rd electronics always has low prices . A 
case of sa90s for about 15 bucks. The prices get lower the more you buy. But 
for shits sake I can't remeberember their toll free number.

the public!!  $10 each!  That's for Phish, Bostones, Rippopottomus (sp),
and a few others.  The rumor that Sonic Youth is headlining is NOT
true.  The tickets will go on sale next week sometime, but I will know
before hand.  (One of the UPC guys is a buddy-o-mine).  So... Here's the
deal...  you want a ticket?  Mail me $10.  A check is fine.  Or set it

Pholks who would like to gather bfore the show . . . . perhaps it
was a little late to ask for preferences about a location for a gathering.
So I vote 

                       CHEAP BEER!

Gather at the Moo-Shi Factory at say 7? earlier if someone sends me a message
saying a real live party beforehand would be good . . . .  Moo-Shi is
on Pardall about 50 meters from the cafe Roma, 200 meters from the Anaconda.
Ask anyone . . . . it'll be easier than me posting instructions.

Again . . . . 101 to 13 miles N of Santa Barbara.  Los Carneros exit (W), away
from the mountains, toward the ocean.  Go a mile or so on Los carneros to
you reach a "T" with El Colegio.  Turn left on El Colegio.  Go through the first
light and make the next right (your last chance before entering UCSB campus).
Go three blocks till you see Cafe Roma.  Park.  The Anaconda is under your nose.
Watch for brain-disconnected bikers and pededstrians.  Thay are NOT watching for
you, and vehicular manslaughter is not a great way to start out an evening.

BTW, those who are interested in "rare live import CD's" (nudge-nudge) should
check out the Rockhouse on Pardall.  It's about 2 blocks N of Cafe Roma.  
Be warned they aren't cheap.

Can I possibly contain my excitement?  If they don't play "squirming coil"
(in a beach town full of sinners at the Anaconda theater?), well . . . .
I just won't know WHAT to expect from these guys anymore, will I?

Has anyone else noticed the resemblance between these

seem to me to be nearly identical.  I was just listening
to 10/31/91 at the North Shore Surf Club in Olympia, WA

hear Bathtub Gin?  The answer, of course, was that I had,
but they were now playing It's Ice.  I don't mind, I like
both songs a lot, but it's still wierd.  (Imagine that,
