   Well, would you like the solo from Philly 3/17/92?  Or would you like the
solo from Giants 6/17/91?  Or would you like the solo from MSG 9/14/90?  Or
would you like the solo from Shoreline 6/21/89?  Or would you like the solo

I would have posted this eariler, but I jhust figured out how...

The best show of '92 that I saw was the 3rd night Philly Spectrum.  I
caught 11 shows that tour (all but Atlanta & Nassau), and there isn't
even a question in my mind.  I'd list highlights, but the entire show
was a highlight...  O.K. O.K., the best parts prob. were It's All Over
Now (with the Stones' studio intro to begin and end the show), Picasso
Moon (sorry I love the song nowadays.  OOOO-EEEE), the China Doll jam
before drumZ and Billy (?) bringing out the train during drumZ.
Of course the fact that I got miracled during the 1st verse of Touch
didn't hurt matters either. :@)  Have fun y'all

[Not this song again!  Whatever happened to the FAQ?]

This song has been collected in Britain & the US by folk music 
ethnographers.  It's also known in Ireland.   The likeliest means
by which this song managed to appear in both areas is, it was
carried there by immigrants in the 19th century or earlier.
It's not unlike "Banks of the Nile" & the "Trooper & the Maid",
Child's ballads.  It could've come on broadsheets or
some other means.  But the name of the real composer is probably lost
to us, long gone, & many versions of the song exist -- who knows
which is the "correct" or canonical one.

Fennario is a 4-syllable word that stands for Nowhere.
I think Bob Dylan said that once somewhere about his version
of Peggy-O.  I always thot that if any place is Fennario,
it's Minnesota, not because it's Nowhere, but because it's
Dire Wolf country.  There may be others.

This post is part question - part info:  mostly the former.

First the question:  does anyone manage to get the Grateful Dead 
Hour regularly in Pittsburghx?  THe FAQ lists 3 PA possibilities:  
broadcasts from Philly, Scraton and Reading.  I'm not having any 
luck with any of these.  I'm using a tuner without a good antenna -
no cable.  Any info. is appreciated.

Next, the (noisy) information.   I'm sitting here listening to the 
regular WDUK jazz show (90.5 - NPR in the daytime), just
beginning to compose this post, when I hear the DJ say that they just
got their transmitter fixed / upgraded and are celebrating etc. etc..
He then mentions that beginning this weekend they will begin 
"broadcasting the Grateful Dead" - followed by a comment I just 
*barely* heard moments later about the "#%^*@@ Hour"!!  Fairly neat -
ocurred right in mid-post-query.  Anyway, could it be true?

Sorry to provide such flaky details.  I'll re-post if & when I get more
substantive info.  E-mail regarding GDH:  much appreciated.  Also, 
any locals interested in some trading, let me know and I'll send a 
list of what I've got.

I'm wondering if your plans including echoing two additional nets,
namely RIME and MIDI-NET. The Rime net includes a grateful dead
conference I follow, and has a bunch of other interesting conferences.
Midi-Net (if that's the right names) comes out of the Chicago area and
includes about 9 conferences of various Midi topics, mostly for IBM and
MAC electronic musicians. There's also support conferences for various
Midi software sequencing packages and stuff on recording, equipment,
etc. Let me know if you'd like more details. I believe TASTE bbs echoes
it locally. MoonDog and others echo RIME. I'd like to have one board
that has it all in the metro-NYC area. And I'd like that board to be IF.
Thanks.

I recently bought Infrared Roses and I'm curious if anyone has
determined which shows contributed to which of the tracks.  I did
read the liner notes and realize that some of the tracks are not
from a single show, but certain tracks - like the one which includes
Branford - should be easily traceable.  Knowing how this group likes
details and statistics, I'd expect someone to have a list.  If you do, 
please post/repost it.

PS - Listening to Infrared Roses inspired me to dig out 9/16/90 Set II
to hear a good choc-full-o-space second set.  Any recommendations on
other spacey sets for those in the mood?

I couldn't agree w/ you more.  In the early '80's I was one of those
college wannbes (althought I never littered, my mama taught me better
than that)  but I was smart enough to know from the look of bliss on so
many faces that something special was happening here (maybe Lehigh Univ.
Fall 82 being my first show helped!)  so I asked some stupid questions,
payed attention,  stopped eating at McDonalds, experimented (!) and got
on the bus.  If we really vaule what we have here for what it is, and not
just cause its ours, we need to help birth the Dead experince to the
populace at large.  Everybody knows the best way to stop a kid from
acting up is to ignore him.  Every good parent knows that you don't let a
child suck you into his or her  antics.  It's the bough that bends that
survies the gale.

YES! I posed this question to the net a couple of years ago and got no response
so I starting wondering...

Anyway, what I've got is filler on 7/21/84. It's about 15-20 minutes I think
and is labeled like so:

Bob & Phil in the studio - 2/24/89
----------------------------------
Throwin' Stones
Bro Essau
Hell in a Bucket

And that's that. No one can confirm the date or the event or anything. My ears
tell me that it is for sure a studio recording and there are two musicians.
Bob and Phil are unmistakable.

But I don't know about the date or place. DeadBase never helped. Kicks butt.
Took me 10 minutes to hunt that tape down just now...

I've only seen this performed twice, once by the Boys & once by Robert

this weird little Eagles hall (or something like that) in 79 or 80
right around the same timeframe as Jack 'o Roses was released.
Played a great set, but didn't talk to the audience at all until
the end of the evening, where he says something like:
"Ya know, people keep asking me about this Grateful Dead thing...
[lots of cheers] ...and If I still do that any more. Well, to
those people I've got just one thing to say..."
and then goes right into Day Job starting w/ the lyric
"Keep your day job until your night job pays"

I'm a horn player.  I can also play trumpet and baritone, but not
as well.  The baritone mouthpiece took some getting used to
because of its larger size.  If I could get the hang of working a
slide, I'd say I can play trombone.  I tried to play a Sousaphone
once, but could'nt produce a sound because of the size of the
mouthpiece.

By the way, Maynard Ferguson also plays 'bone without sounding
like sick whale.
