Yes, that mystery song was indeed NICU, which I don't
think they are playing anymore - a shame, since it was
one of my favorites too, Dave! By the way:

|NICU means Natal Intensive Care Unit in hospital parlance.

Actually, I think it's NEOnatal Intensive Care Unit.
But I have no idea why I'm mentioning something so
trivial... Maybe because I want to stay on the net
a bit longer because it's far too early for me to go
to bed, but I HAVE to get to sleep to pick up Shelly
tomorrow at the ungodly hour of 9:00 or so (just 
kidding Shelly! ;-))

Anyway, yeah, I liked that song too. I hope they still do
it now and again.

Well, Shelly, I wasn't going to post re: what people should/can/should not
post but you asked for opinions and here are mine. I think people should be
free to post whatever they want. I've been an BITNET/INTERNET citizen for 6 or
so years. Before that, I sat on a modem calling bulletin boards. There has
been and will always be, a lot of stuff a single individual won't find
interesting. There hasn't been a week that I've been using a computer to
communicate, that I haven't seen people complain about some type of posts. I
have always felt thatit is the price you should be willing to pay in order to
be a citizen of the ether. I currently get the digest because I like to
separate my mail while reading and I belong to a number of interest groups. I
typically don't read them for 2 or 3 days and usually sort through a load of
mail. It doesn't take me an inordinate amount of time to sift...___usually___
(sometimes it does). I often answer pleas for tapes and have made some decent
friends in the progress. I have been lucky enough to score tickets because of
personal pleas (tickets not offered publicly) and have also answered pleas
(also not public). Other interest groups have this same type of environment
and are much larger than the PHISHNET. People try to deal with it. That isn't
to say people shouldn't use a little good judgement. It is pretty ridiculous
to see 20 "me too" or "yeah!" messa ges in a digest. Tape/Tix/etc ads seem
perfectly alright to me. I read those as well as road trip accounts, set
lists, etc. Others have made better points for these posts. Also... someone
recently talked about not feeling community in a reserved seating show. To
further add to my HERETIC status I'll gain after this--I prefer reserved
seating. BLASPHEME! Well, I've REALLY done it now! I just wrote what I feel.
This wasn't meant to be a post for what I feel others should believe but
doubtless I'll hear about it.

My younger brother tuned in a radio station in Eugene OR, and caught the
DJ saying "that was from the brand new Phish disc".  Unfortunately, he
didn't hear the song, so he wasn't sure if they were referring to Junta
or if they are playing songs from promo copies of Rift.

Does anyone know if promo copies of Rift are at radio stations yet, and

It's nice not to get four digests of messages from stressed out people at 
school every day... I FINNALY just caught up with all of this. Last couple of 
digests were actually easy to read without getting bored by messages like 
"Jimi was a guy who played guitar when I was a young lad. He's gone now..." 
which really make me question how seriously people take the net.. oh well. I've 
been here but didn't really post since the fall tour started as not to add to 
the hell that became of the net over the last month or so. I have a tendancy to 
ramble a bit on pointless subjects... (! bet you couldn't figure that out) Oh 
well Phish content: A day before my 1st show a friend of mine told me the 
symbols... didn't matter cause Trey told us all anyway all of them and did LOTS 
of them. This made it possible for the ENTIRE audience to be on the ground at 
the same time. Weird sight when you popped your head up and everyone was hidden 
by the seats... the place looked empty. And other schtuff they did which I 
didn't really know about (ie I had heard something about a vacum but really had 
no idea...) just made me really ammused and liking them even more. 

Shelley: just for a little sub-count (i know the rec.m.phish people arn't 
countable) could you make a shlash on a peice of paper for everyone who 
resubscribes when school starts again.. Just wondering how big we have grown.

Everyone else: I guess I have some time now to do some work on the chords file. 
Oh goodie you say.

Dude!  What can I say?  The New Year's show rocked!  Phish was playing with
*so* much *energy*!!!  Also, they went out on great jams in almost every
song.
I won't put the whole set list on because I'm sure someone else will be able
to do it more accurately than I.  Here is what stuck out for me though.
IMHO-Stash, Poor Heart, and Divided Sky were the best songs they played. 
Divided... was huge!  It must have lasted 15 minutes!  A rocking Harpua was
also to be had with a hilarious story.(complete with Fishman screaming
incoherently about golf carts)
The 3rd set started with Mike's Song.  Then, Trey did the count down.  The
New Year was brought in with a smoking Weekapaug Groove and confetti falling
from the ceiling.(BTH, I think they skipped I Am Hydrogen.  What happened to
never playing these three songs apart?)
Other highpoints-A great Gamehenge story.(Down, down, down...we're all
fossils for millions of years!)/During Mockingbird, someone was suspended
over the stage in a bird suit/ball jam during My Sweet One/new sign signals.
About that last-When you entered, you were given a paper explaining about
five new signals to be invoked by signs that Trey had.  Such as, if Trey held
up a sign that said "Mass Hysteria", everyone had to scream and, well, act
hysterical.

All in all.  A great show.  Thanks to ya'll for making it so cool.
I saw lots of tapers.(hint, hint)  I hope there will be a tape surfacing
soon.  :-)

Well, I'm going on two hours of sleep in the last two days.  (Road trips are
hell, but its worth it.) I need some sleep.

Since I haven't seen any other gathering-type-suggestions for the

spot.  

FYI, It's a restaraunt/bar, so they'll serve drinks and let in <21's.  Y'all
should have the map and directions by now (thanks, Rich, Ger!), so finding
it should be easy.  Please send me mail if you need direx and/or a map.

	Well count me here as a break net reader / poster

	Rich - If you want to make a Christmas light sign of your requested
	song, I'll power it.  2 strands of 35 lights run 36 watts, I tape
	powering my deck off a car battery into power inverter, giving
	me 100 watts ac current.  My deck draws 24 watts, so see I'll have
	spare electricity.  Recomendations: A small 2' x 4' cardboard sign.
	So they let you in, 2 songs on one board each using one strand, each
	plugged in one at a time.  Remember that I'll be in the tapers section
	so the letters will have to be 20-24" tall to be readable frim the stage	
	E mail me if you are planning on doing this, I'll check my mail at
	9:00 am thurs morn for the last time this year.

	If anyone see Shelly ask her to look for Andrew in the tapers section
	on NYe to pass along his tapes and to recieve some more photos.

	Thanks, enjoy Springfield Ya'll.

Hi, Jow...er, Joe (Sorry!)

I believe the tune you refer to from Ziggy's is none
other than NICU. It was referred to as "In an Intensive
Care Unit" by Trey at Portsmouth 3-8-92 but got another
name lart...er, later.

From memory, the Chorus goes...

Would you please/make clear to me
why nothing is the first thing that I seee
and if you do/and I see you (NICU)
then you will be the nothing left for me.

oops, that's later. the verse you refer to goes

Would you please/make clear to me
I'm peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse/Tomorrow's verse
Forgive me if I don't sing in your key.

Is it a match?

DMcC

P.S. This is one of my very favorite of the new Phish
tunes...NICU means Natal Intensive Care Unit in hospital
parlance. I think the song is written from the baby's
perspective and it is trying to figure out what is
going on...

FLUFFHEAD! ... you just can't type Trey's excitement into a file... ohwell.

	I have a theory that somehow the Phish on Junta is performed in such
a way as two suspend time!  One night last school year we were listening to
Junta in a rather mellow state and somebody noticed there was an excess amount
of smoke in one corner of the room.  Several of us quickly motivated to  find
the cause of this smoke and it turned out a blanket on my friend's bed was
burning!  Somebody had been holding a lighter near it and had been flicking the
lighter on and off without noticing it.  So, we stamped out the fire, cleared
the room of smoke, spent a long time laughing over the whole thing, there being
a large hole in the blanket, etc, etc.  All in all it seemed like an eternity.
When we finally sat down and mellowed out again we noticed that Fluffhead was
STILL on (we had turned it on when we first entered the room) and not yet quite
done.

	This activity has happened several times since- we've been in a room,
mellow, for what seems to be an eternity, a great deal of things happen, and
Fluffhead is STILL on.  I hypothesize that somehow the musicians in Phish
managed to insert some sort of time warp into the song.  Has anybody else
noticed this rather interesting phenomenom?
