Howdy -

"Rico was a nice guy"?

"Freak out on the night skies"?

And I thought I was way off when I thought Suzie's last name was Reefer!

BTW - "We don't want no nice guys."  Check the FAQ for Mike's Groove

Hi phishheads--

I'm fairly new to the entire legend that Phish has become, and I was wondering if
anyone in the New York Capital district has a copy of Lawn Boy or knows of a
record store in the area that might have it (Lawn Boy) or any other Phish
recordings. If so, please e-mail me at warrer@rpi.edu.  Thanks muchly!!!

                      Today's the Big Day!
 
At one of the Great American Music Hall shows in October of 1991
I asked a roady what the words were in YEM, and he told me the
following:
 
Wash your feet, sir, drive me to Firenze.
 
The last word is pronounced fee-ren'-dze, and is the Italian name
for the city of Florence.
 
I can't remember where I heard this -- probably from a woman I
used to know who used to know the band -- but the song was
supposed to be written while one or more of the guys was hitch
hiking in Europe.  Apparently the song title came from a non-
English-speaking person trying to pay a compliment.
 
Anyway, I'm pretty sure these are the right words and that the
response found in the April/May newsletter just out was in jest. 
If you listen to the verses it usually goes something like:
 
Hell, man,
Wash your feet sir drive me to Firenze.
 
With the back vocals echoing that last line.
 
Also, as long as I'm on the topic of lyrics.  I've always heard:
 
We don't want no nice guys.
 
in Mike's Song.  However, the boys pronounce their consonants
similar to the way Sting pronounces his, so it comes out sounding
like:
 
"We doan wan no nice guys."  or "We doan wanno nice guys."
 
They kind of chop off the ending consonants, so that it almost
sounds like:
 
"We no are no nice guys." 
 
Anyway, enjoy the shows.  I used to see these guys all the time
when I lived in Northampton, Mass, but now that I moved to San
Francisco it's been over six months since I've seen them.  I
can't wait.  Still looking for a ride to Santa Cruz, but
something tells me I'll have no problem.
 
I'm looking forward to meeting all you crazy netters!
 
May your day be filled with love and light!

Well, after much deciding and debate, we have finally come up with
a name for the little one.  At least he didn't make it till two weeks
old without a name. :-)

Here are the suggestions I received:

Ren or Stimpy, Rugrat, John, Patrick, Phineas,
David, Townsend, Travis, Spencer, Aaron, Joshua,
Trey, Waylon, Ernest, Aaron Wolfe, Cassidy, Marco, 
Alec, Ivan, Page, Poster Nutbag, Jonathan, Robert,
Seamus, Sean, Fluffhead, Colby, and Colin.

I was partial to John myself, since then he would be named after
John Connor, the guy who saved the world from the machines in
Terminator. :-)  But my wife did not like that name, and I guess
he does not look like a John anyway.  I was also considering
naming him Patrick (after myself and my father), so he would
be Patrick Connor III, then I guess we could call him Trey. 
Sorry, but Phineas and Poster Nutbag were out of the question.  :-)

The last week or so, this scrawny stray cat has been visiting us for 
free meals, and I thought the name Fluffhead seemed to fit him
pretty well.  Anyway, to get to the whole point of this, the kid's
name is...   *drum roll*

Hey Now Pholks--
                Not to be too harsh, but in digest#303 there was a posting whic
h said outright "DON'T USE DOUBLE DECKS".  The implication was that a double de
ck will automatically make sub-standard recordings, period.  This simply  ain't
 true...whereas I don't want to start up the Great Tape Deck Debate of a few mo
nths ago, suffice it to say theat there are some good double decks on the marke
t-- Harmon-Kardon, Luxman, and Sony all make excellent ones.  It all depends ho
w much money you have to spend... I maintain that you'll get a better recording
 on Sony's $300 ES-series dubbing deck than on a matched pair of $150 dollar sp
ecials, even if you can't set the record levels.  My reccomendation for aspirin
g tapers is to start with a good dubbing deck and ASAP buy a good single deck--
 then you can run from the old deck to the new one.  That's what I did, and whe
reas some of my older tapes don't sound -quite- as perfect as they might have,
they certainly sound fine.

Chucklehead is way cool.  They opened for Phish at New Year's 1990(I think).  They
are super-funky, with prominent bass and horns(note:every bandmember plays a ##
of different instruments, so the lineup on stage at any given time could consist
of just about anything).  I'm pretty sure they do only originals, except for their
hilarious cover of the Brady Bunch theme song.  I have one live tape of them from

Secondly, this might be the most random question ever heard on the net, but, since a lot of people have old Dead bootleg tapes, I'm wondering if anyone has any

I know it'

Weird that you mention that because, I just got back from Hash Bash at Michigan
(and boy are my arms tired) and on the ten hour drive back, we listened to QR's
Operation Mindcrime, and at the beginning when you hear that "Dr. Blair.."
stuff, my friend who's a huge QR fan stopped the tape and said that that paging
is in every hospital scene in any movie that has one. It sticks out in my mind
because what he said is obviously ridiculous (Ghost Dad has a hospital scene 
without that) and I also thought of Catapult. Anyway, you are correct. it is on
Operation Mindcrime.

I don't think this has been posted before...this is a review of the boys in
the April issue of Musician:

	You may have heard wild rumors about Phish.  Some are true; guitarist
	Trey Anastasio and bassist Mike Gordon really do bounce on trampolines
	while playing live, and drummer Jonathan Fishman actually does a
	vacuum cleaner solo.  But if you heard they were a Deadhead band, you
	heard wrong.  Sure, the Vermont quartet's drawn a faithful tie-dyed
	crowd ever since its formation in 1983, but its music can't be 
	pigeonholed.  It's an eclectic mix of styles served up with chops
	galore and a dollop of goofy humor.

	Phish (named after Fishman; "the 'ph' sounded like an airplane taking
	off," says Anastasio) was your average two-guitar college rock band
	until the second guitarist got religion and left.  The group picked
	up keyboardist Page McConnell and, over six years and two albums,
	gathered a big cult following.  Last year, they signed with Elektra.
	Their major-label debut, A Picture of Nectar, shows off their funky
	side and dabbles in jazz- McConnell's "Magilla" sounds like a lost
	number from the Monk book.

	Though Phish jams a lot, much of its material is thoroughly composed.
	Anastasio, a former music major, often charts out his tunes before
	presenting them to the others.  "I'm a pencil-and-paper guy; pencil's
	important 'cause you've gotta erase a lot," he explains.

	This ambitious, resolutely non-commercial music found listeners despite
	the odds, and the majors came running:  an encouraging story.  But why
	the trampolines?  "I was actually the one who bought them," admits
	McConnell, "though I don't bounce onstage.  It's a great visual thing,
	and the audience gets involved.  We do it in two songs; the crowd
	knows they're the trampoline songs."  Is "Bouncing Around the Room" one
	of them?  "No," McConnell chuckles.  Leave it to these guys not to do
	the obvious.

Well, there it is...sorry it's so long.  I thought it was pretty interesting,
except that one of my roommates has been to several Phish shows and says that
"Bouncing" is one of the songs for which they use the trampolines.  Dunno.

From experience.
Dolby C has best S/N, best if used on same deck as recorded.
Dolby B is more compatable from deck to deck.

To solve the problem of dolby/no dolby, try dbx.  Get a deck with an
inboard processore or buy an external processor.  It gives vastly superior
sound compared to dolby.  

Then there is allways pcm or dat.  But if you are committed to analog, try dbx.

Hey-ho -

Don't know 'bout y'all, but I REALLY enjoyed the mini-review from the 
"PHISH = PHUN" person.  It pretty much sums up what one would expect 
from an initial experience.

Not to get defensive, but I still stand by my original comments in my 
last posting:

YEM lyrics are not as cut'n'dried as one might think;

When Jerry plays with the Dead he's not nearly as good as when he plays 
with JGB (IMHO);

And I'd MUCH rather listen to an insane Trey than an insane Jerry, 
regardless of context.

Need we continue to beat this one to death?  I suppose we all like to 
defend what we consider to be our auditory nectar, but in the words of 
my brother when he was five, "You started it!"  There is no such thing 
as "worse music", only "less favorable impressions of music" (I'm being 
altruistic here, no flames puh-LEEZE!).  I like Phish.  I like the Dead 
too, although not as much as I like Phish.  I think Trey is better than 
Jerry when Jerry plays with the Dead.  I like Jerry more when he plays 
with JGB.  It's all experiential, people, let's not spend our lives 
arguing over who's got better technique when we could be dancing our 
heinies off...

As I will be in, oh, twelve hours!

	I hope Phish will release a live CD (or even a 2CD set!) sometime in
the next year.  I think they make the jump to studio pretty well, but
somethings just require a live context to make sense.  Mike's Groove would
probably sound foolish in the studio, but a really sweet and smokin' live
version on CD would be very happy.  A CD full of live Phish might attract
more pholks to the scene (hate that word, but there isn't a better one I
can think of).
	On a related note - I recall a lot of discussion about video taping
not too long ago.  If the band is worried about the quality of bootleg
video tapes, why don't they just make one themselves.  If they don't think
it would be viable to release it it in big way, they could just sell it
through the newsletter like they have been doing with Junta and Lawn Boy.
They play lots of shows - they must know someone who could make a good
quality video tape of one or several, and put together a 1 or 2 video tape
package of live and viewable Phish.  I know I would buy it from them!
	My comrades here in school like to grab the VCR room every so
often and watch concert video tapes - Phish would be a _most_ welcome
addition!

Hey Barry S. Nichols and others,
    The first tape of Phish I heard was a Haloween. I hated it. But
slowly with no explaination A little diddy called Contact wormed it's
way into my cerebrum and soon I was searching all over for this bootleg.
   Today I'm proud to say I love Phish. So don't worry I think your on you way
to really liking the stuff.

     On another note, I performed Mike Gordon's piece on McNorton
Thickcheeks Barber Shop last Tuesday, and it was a hit. The crowd was
wrigling in their seats but the squemish all had grins on their faces.
