Oakland TAPER ticket trade
--------------------------

Here's the deal:  I have 2 taper tickets for Oakland 12/16&17, but
I only have regular BASS tickets for 12/11-13.  I need to get taper
tickets for the first 3 shows.  If you have extra taper tix or taper
tix that won't be used to bring in equipment for 12/11-13, I'd like
to arrange a trade.  Said trade could be either for one taper ticket
to each of 12/16&17 (plus $) or for regular BASS tix to 12/11-13.  I
may even wind up with extra BASS tix for some of the first three shows
that I could sell (at cost, of course) as part of the deal.

Thanks,
R|C

Well, that same company which advertised in Relix also took out an ad in this 
month's Spin (December) which shows the designs in color and also has two other check designs.  One is of 3 vultures and the other is 5 skeletons dancing in 
a circle.  The designs look a little better in color (I'm considering getting t
he dancing skeletons and also the Creation design.)  My only reservation is thatyou'd be liable to a lot of hassles trying to use them...hey, if I were a 
clerk in a store (which i have been...) I might ask for a manager's approval
before accepting a check with skulls, skeletons or vultures...Anyone use 
these checks?  Ever had problems?

Hey all!
 In a previous post Tom Jacob's says:
|New Context Dead
|
|I just wanted to echo a bit of Kent Stewart's poetic post about hearing the
|dead's music Somewhere Else:
|
|Does this happen to others?  You stumble into some dead music playing on a
|radio somewhere, even in your own car, or on somebody's boombox, or a tape
|whispering out of little speakers at Kinko's, that it tends to sound
|*especially* sweet, even if it's a studio cut you've heard 10^6

I know what you mean. I was out shopping (gotta prop up that economy) one
day and I had New Speedway in my head all day, and I was thinkin' "I gotta
get home and play this". Before going home we stop in a deli for lunch,
so we're sitting there talking about this, that and the other, when I catch
a few bars of the background music that's playing, and guess what, it's
New Speedway. So I just had this sh*t-eatin' grin on my face for the
rest of the day, I was completly blown away by that, especially since 
Ottawa tends to be a kinda conserative  town (too many civil servants
I guess). Well just thought I'd share that with y'all. Now back to
jonesin' about the December shows, to everyone going - have a grate time.

    I was wondering if anybody out there could give a hand.   I need to know the
complete story about the real Casey Jones.  I know the basic facts about the
runaway train and him sacrificing himself.  What I really need to know is the
story behind Sim who was, Jones's friend and was feeding coal into the engine,
but for some reason he jumped off the train and let his good friend Casey die. 
I really need to know why?  This is part of my fraternity initiation and it's

Hey Now,

	OK, before I get back to work, I just wanted to publicly thank
the kind soul who set up the 5/2/70 Harpur's College tree some months
ago. I received the tapes late this summer, and all I can say is this 
show is FANTASTIC! Everything it was advertised to be, and more.

	What makes this show so good, IMHO, is that the songs that 
stand out are not the "usual" suspects. Real nice version of Good Lovin',
with a different jam than was typical of the Pen era. However, the
song that really stands out for me is Dancin' In the Street. I will
never, I repeat NEVER, turn down my nose again at a setlist with this
song in it. The boyz take this song and run with it in places I never
thought it could go. Real sweet. Set II also featured It's a Man's
World, and you could just feel Pigpen pulling this one out of his soul.

	Anyway, I know this tree has been history for some time, so sorry
this isn't more timely, but the show just keeps growing on me. Thanks
to all involved in setting up and running this tree.

I love Lost Sailor/Saint.  I just never cared for Passenger that much.  Of
course, the 90's Passenger may be quite different.

In any case, when they do play Passenger, I'm sure you'll find me dancing
right along (I've never been one to take a "pee break" while the boys are
on stage doing their thing).  

As a matter of fact, I'm jonesin' for a show so much at this point, that
Bobby and Vince could do a duet of "I've Got You Babe" and I'd probably
still be dancing.

(Hey maybe I should put that one down under songs I'd like to see covered!)

I think they opened with Saint at Nassau-no Sailor. I read an interview

My friend had dinner with Bobby before one of the shows this summer and
said that he is one burnt dude. I wouldn't expect anything less from him. 
I think Victor D'amato is right on when he says that Bobby should bring
back the entire Weather Report Sweet. When Black Throated came back I went
crazy. When the original words came back to Black Throated, I went crazy
again. Now we need a full WRS->Mind left body->Eyes->Drumz->World to give
and they will combine some 73-74 with some 78 and we will be psyched. Add
some of those 9-73 horns + Branford and Clarence and we will have a full
WRS horn section. Rumours have been circulating for years that Bobby was
bisexual. Wouldn't the Colorado concerts be a good time for Bobby to take a
stand for what he believes in? And more importantly, B-) there are a lot
of Lost Sailors in tthe world today and Bobby might want to musically
addresss that particular point. I always have wondered what the full
story was between Bobby and Madonna too. 
	My person idea for a good Bobby encore would be Silver Threads. I
would love to hear Heaven Help the Fool (with words) in a second set.
That would be killer. Bobby is the Burnt Sailor.

on the Wanted and Demon?  Which one is Sharon on?

Does anyone have any further info. about the relationship between
Bromberg and the Dead?  Have they ever played live (in public)
together?  I haven't come across anything in Deadbase.

Also, does anyone know of a Bromberg hotline or some way to get info.

Did the hack head quit the net ?  I can tolerate a lot
but this guy is something else.  Honestly, hackhead,

if I order it this week ?  I think my little 'pumpkin

Thanks...
