A few weeks ago I called Dionysian and asked about the possible Europe tour
hinted at in the last newsletter, and they said it probably wouldn't happen
until fall.  Now I see the new newsletter says they will be going this
summer (June 18 - July 4).  I assume this is the most recent information,
and I'm pretty psyched becuase I will be there for the last week of the
tour.  If anyone hears more details about this I'd like to know.  Shelly,
maybe you could ask if you are going to be interviewing Trey or Fish?

And no one has even mentioned Dolby HX-Pro, the best dolby of all!!!  I am
not sure of all the technical aspects (HX stands for Headroom Expansion), but
it means you can peak your tapes about 2 or 3 db higher without saturating
than you can without.  It achieves this by adjusting the bias frequency
on the fly during extremely high peaks. Or something.  But the best thing
of all is that because it adjusts the bias frequency rather than encoding
the sound in some way like dbx, Dolby B and Dolby C, it doesn't need to be
decoded.  There is no such thing as Dolby HX-Pro "playback", since its
always there, and for this reason almost every deck which has it has it
on all the time (I have never heard of an on/off switch for HX Pro before).

Apart from the obvious advantages of better tape response at all-around
higher recording levels, you also get lower tape noise since the noise
level is that much lower than the level of the sound.

Hi everyone,
  I just wanted to offer my services to get Buffalo(North Tonawanda) tickets
for anyone who wants them.  The show is May 8 at the Riviera Theater which is
a nice old style place with a balcony.  They have never had a concert like 
Phish there before, only stuff like organ concerts and mellow things so it
may be a weird scene.  Tickets are $13 at a store called Terrapin Station, I
don't know if TM is charging more (probably).  Anyway, if you want me to get
you tickets, pheel phree to email me.
  Also, how do I get Syracuse tickets?  Are they at TM as well?  I'll be passing
through Syracuse this weekend so if anyone knows where to get them please let
me know.  Thanks for any help.

Hey all you West Coast net-headers!!

	Since no one announced anything about a Warfield
  net gathering I have decided to do so. There is no way this
  will top Echo's party cuz nothing on market street can even come
  close. But this is a just a gathering INSIDE the show -- away
  from the rapist, muggers, and murders of our favorite Market
  street.

  I think a good place to have a gathering would be inside the show
  at set break on the stairs _facing_ Market street. Either on the
  stairs on at the top of them. Just be there. It would be good for
  all the people who cannot make the SC one, as well as for everyone.
  It will be good for figuring out rides and such to the other shows
  Just be ther and have a good show.

	If some one else has a better idea for a gathering for the
  Warfield show then please post it. Otherwise I suppose that this
  will stand as the official statement of the Warfield Net Gathering.
  	Have fun and _beware_ of Market Street!! That is NO joke!!

Hey everyone.
I have a favor to ask.  For the past two or three months I have been
maintaining a Phish FTP site on the Brown Mainframe.  This has proven
to be very effective for text files like the HPB and the lyrics file
and copies of all the trees and so on, but it's been HELL ON WHEELS
for anything that isn't text.
So, I'd like to ask if anyone out there has a Unix machine (preferably
in their office or reserved mostly for their own use) that I can use
to maintain a "binaries" ftp site for the Phish Files.  Currently the
binaries use about 2.5 Megs, but, as with most things, the amount
of stuff you have expands until your disks are 90% full, and then stops
growing until you get more disk space...
I'd would be willing (and I'd prefer) to do all the administration
and upkeep, make sure everything's up to date, etc, etc, etc.
What I would need from you is:
A)A (limited access) acct on a unix machine with an easy internet
 connection.  (The account is needed so I can do the actual
 maintainence.)
B)About 5 megs of disk space.  I don't think this will be a problem
for most Unix machines...

Please let me know if anyone can help me out.  All you would have to
do is set me up with the acct and some space; I'll do the rest.

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

 I just caught Phish on Mountain Stage on WBUR radio in Boston.  It was a good reward after spending this Sunday and last Sunday calling every NPR station in the area.

 For thos who missed it, it was a short four song set.  Phish took the stage and played Sparkle, All Things (RE)Considered, Foam, and finally, after shouts of Tweezer, Suzie, and Golgi by the audience, they broke into Landlady.

Since it was recorded two weeks ago, does anyone know how it was recorded (digital or analog), and if they did any other songs?  Just wondering...

   I always interpreted the Antelope lyrics as: <phonetic phun> "Marco
Esquandolas. I didn't mean to have any spite, man." Its inetersting to
note that Esquandolas, with my elemtary Spanish, can be unpacked as "?Es
quando las?" which is "When is it (fem,plur.)?" Also, at this summer's
Townshend show, Trey inorduces Marco Esquandolas (which is Fishman I
think, but I only have a tape) who procedes to repeatdly yell "?Como mi
gente?" and "?Como estas?" or "How are my people?" and "How are you all."
If any one else can correct me or help me on these interpretations, please
do, as my spanish is abut three years old.

Subject: Dubbing Decks
Date: 9 Apr 92 04:47:54 GMT
Reply-To: ST101137@brownvm.brown.edu
Organization: The Internet

Ok.  Let me clarify the dubbing decks issue.

First, a few of the reasons why dubbing decks are not ideal:
1)Dolby N/R is tough to deal with.  If you have a tape done in dolby
B, for example, and you want a copy in dolby B, you copy it with NO
NR.  Why?  Because the dubber makes an exact copy of the original, with
the same record levels, so the dolby nr still applies to the copy.  However,
the dub also has some hiss added to it in the copy, so when dolby B goes
to decode it, the signal that it's decoding isn't the same as the original.
Try it over a few generations; almost anyone can hear the difference.
2)record levels are unchangeable when you dub.  In one sense, this is
good because dubbers make nearly exact copies.  But on a general level,
this is bad.  Here's why: Say you have a Metal tape with levels that
hit +6 db (rather low for metals, actually).  Now, you want to dub to a
CrO2 tape.  The dubber will try to put +6 on the Type II.  Type II's
CANNOT take 6db, no matter what kind of deck you have.  So your copy
sounds terrible, to say the least.

BUT, don't automatically discount dubbing decks.  If you tape using the
same tape type, with no n/r, you can get nearly exact copies, especially
on a deck with HX Pro and Amorphous heads.  I've been perfectly
satisfied with many of the copies I've gotten from dubbers.  Others
have gone in the blanks pile.  THE SAME IS TRUE OF TWO SINGLE DECKS.
In my judgement, the intelligence of the person doing the dubs is
what makes the difference.  If someone knows about this problem, s/he
will always use type II tapes, or always use type IV, or at least
tell people that it's a potential problem.

On a related note: If you're copying using dolby, particularly dolby C,
you should cut your record levels by 1 or 2 db.  Why?  Well, the way
dolby works is that it boosts the signal that goes onto the tape
in certain ranges.  In the proccess of boosting, if the levels are
already high, you may pass the saturation point of the tape, and
you'll get distortion.  When dolby decodes this, it sounds BAD, even
to the untrained ear (not that I have a trained ear or anything...)

If you have ANY questions about taping and suchnot, please don't
hesitate to email me; I may not be able to answer them all and I certainly
don't claim to be an expert, but I've picked up a fair amount of know-
how over the past few years, and I'm quite willing to share it.  To
paraphrase Simm's, "An educated taper is our best customer."

I have to admit, I had ALWAYS thought it was "We don't want no nice guys", but 
listening closely to my 11/21/91 Somerville Theatre tape this morning (which, 
might I had, has the most incredible Weekapaug Groove that I've ever 
experienced), I can just as easily see how it could be "Me, no I'm no nice guy." 
 (Although "Freak out on the night skies" is definitely an interesting 
interpretation, whoever suggested it.)

I have seen many posters around the stanford campus and around
palo alto advertising the free Phish show at wilbur field and none
of them mention anything about it being restricted.  It is being
sponsored by stanford and a whole bunch of local merchants
so I'd be surprised if they tried to keep out locals just because
they don't go to stanford.

I've also talked to some students who know about the show and never
heard anything about it being restricted.  They also said it would be
pretty tough to fence in wilbur field.  More hassle than it's worth.
My guess is that these rumors were started on the net to keep the traffic
down.  I'd encourage anybody within range to make the trip.

Remember to respect the town, the school and the people in charge and
they will respect you.  Stanford is a beautiful campus, please leave it

a 6 hour drive) and I was left high and dry with what-could-have-been burning
in my mind. So- PLEASE- (Chris Vaughn, are you out there?) post whatever
you can remember- or e-mail me if you want- about the show, and put my mind at

Hello Phish Phans,

Ok, What I could figure out from the CD, the "unknown" lyric goes like this

" And I lied ?????, Marco Esquandosa(sp?) He didn't have any spike, man"

This is what I could gather.  Could not for the life of me figure out what

Trey says before Marco.  Just a thought.

Unrelated- when was the last time they played slave to the traffic light?

Even more unrelated, are there any phish phans in southern New Mexico?

If so please e-mail me at V130pa4c@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu

I am very strongly opposed to flame wars, especially on a great group
like r.m.phish.  So I'll be polite and say: Gus, you are simply very wrong!!  

Dolby has some problems that are most noticable when playing tapes
on a different deck than the record deck (can you say tape trading!).
But without dolby, cassettes are not a high fidelity medium.

With a quality deck and quality tape, dolby works great!  When dolby
works correctly, it does not affect the signal, it only increases the
S/N ratio and reduces the added tape hiss that is inherent in magnetic
tape recording.

Take a quality 3 head deck and monitor the tape as it is being recording.
Switch dolby from out to B to C.  You should not hear any difference
in the sound of the music.  If you do, your deck is not calibrated correctly
or something else is wrong.  It is not a fault of the dolby.  I do this
test on my Nak Dragon and believe me, tapes made with dolby C sound great!
I also use dolby C on my Nak CR-1A and it makes beautiful sounding tapes
as well.

Don't blame dolby for the problems of poor quality tape decks!!
