Subject: DMB & Others @ Lake Matoaka Festival, Sun, 4/10
What an awesome day. The sun was shining, the bands were wonderful (5 of them), and the crowd was excellent. As Dave put it, a beautiful day to celebrate life. Unfortunately, Dave's celebration was cut very short by some very anal organizers I think. They probably played for about an hour, but it seemed even shorter than that. So, after 8 hours of incredible music, the plug was pulled. Best guess I've heard is that homeowner-like people complained last time they were here, so the cutoff point was 8pm. Whatever the reason, it was a horrible time to pull the plug, because the band was rocking. everything (a band) right before them got about 10-15 musicians on the stage and went into this incredible jam that went on forever that included leroi and dave. If anyone has more accurate info on the show, post it, because I didn't really pay attention, I just enjoyed it. DMB finished up with an incredible version of Recently, though, that must have gone on for 20 minutes. Oh well, next stop, (for me), Raleigh!

Having some friends who worked security, I got to run around backstage and drink free beer, which was a nice bonus.

One Set One Sweet World Two Step Ants Marching Best of What's Around What Would You Say Warehouse Recently I know Chris Buford posted that already, but the order was a little mixed up. A couple of comments on the show. At the begining of One Sweet World, someone let a giant inflatable globe loose and people batted it all of the place for awhile. I thought it was a nice touch. Groovy new intro to Two Step. Good jam at the end of Ants. BEST OF WHAT'S AROUND!!! 'nuff said...Flubbed lyrics in What would you say. Warehouse was GOOD. Doug Wannamaker played his Hammond during a stellar Recently, and the the Everything/Boy O Boy horns sat in. GREAT version. The crowd was cool, the ABC and cops were dicks. They ran out of beer during Everythings set and I was left holding a couple of beer tickets, bummer. Great crowd chant of "Bullshit" after Dave's announcement that Recently would be their last song. Oh yeah, after One Sweet World Dave sang "Bouncing Round the Room..." makes me wonder if he's listening to some Phish. Too short, but it was worth it just to see Doug sit in with them again. Blake

I don't know if anyone has a better explanation, but here's one.
A friend of mine is in SEAC, W&M's environmental club, which was
supposed to receive a portion of the proceeds from last fall's Dave
appearance here. From what she tells me, SEAC didn't see a cent of
the money. Turns out that the cost of supplying power (lights, etc.)
caused the show to break even. Perhaps they were trying to avoid
this and cut it short? Hey, Special Olympics has to get something

I don't get it. Does this mean any show in VA that's outdoors has to stop at 8pm? I know this isn't true.. Or is it within a certain radius of residential buidings? I'm pretty sure last fall when DMB was here they played well past 8pm too. Guess they'll just have to start earlier next time...

I don't know if tis has been mentioned before, but I think I figured out
the meaning behind Two Step. I think it obviously has to be about Noah's
Ark and the flood, listen to the line: "We climb on two by two,
To make sure these days continue."
Now the story behind Noah's ark, for those of you who haven't been awake
since the Old Testament was handed down, is that God told Noah to that tere
was going to be flood, because he was dismayed with the iniquity of man and
sought to destroy them w/ this flood. He also told Noah to gather a male
and female of every living species so that they may generate their species
on the earth when the flood subsided. He got all these pairs of creatures
and had them "climb on" to the ark, in order "to make sure" that those
"days continued."

Phish->Binghampton: Tela->Slave,
Toronto: Mikes->Lifeboy->Weekapaug

Subject: DMB albums
Does anyone else think that DMB does a terrible job at making albums? The
other night I was in the car with a friend when they pop in a tape; it was an
absolutely terrible, uninspired Ants Marching. It didn't surprise me when i
found out it was from R2T. The rest of the album speaks for itself.
I heard Recently CD5 for the first time (close listen) last night. The 4
minute Recently really blew me away (not really). Dave and Tim do nothing
special on Dancing Nancies; Boyd blows away Tim on the end jam, and the best
part of the song (the ending) isn't even on it. Why didn't they just take the
Dancing Nancies from 2-22? Warehouse isn't the same without Dave's intro
wailing. Also, the crowd at the Birchmere doesn't help these songs all that
much. Watchtower: the only good thing that ever happenned to a Dave
album: congratulations Dave. Halloween pretty much just sounds stupid.
Maybe Metallica can cover it now that it has electric guitar.
Also, maybe their next album will come with an in-depth catalogue of the
merchandise of all bands on the RCA label.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Gay Bee I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the gay bee. II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three gay bees. III The gay bee whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. IV A man and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a gay bee Are one. V I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The gay bee buzzing Or just after. VI Icicles filled the long window With barbaric glass. The shadow of the gay bee Crossed it, to and fro. The mood Traced in the shadow An indecipherable cause. VII O thin men of Haddam, Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the gay bee Walks around the feet Of the women about you? VIII I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the gay bee is involved In what I know. IX When the gay bee flew out of sight, It marked the edge Of one of many circles. X At the sight of gay bees Flying in a green light, Even the bawds of euphony Would cry out sharply. XI He rode over Connecticut In a glass coach. Once, a fear pierced him, In that he mistook The shadow of his equipage For gay bees. XII The river is moving. The gay bee must be flying.

that's makes a lot of sense imho. i've listened pretty carefully to those
lyrics, and though it's one of those songs where he really tends to mix
things up from show to show, some of it really fits. (although other
parts fit into the quick lay and goodbye theme). i'll might just go

Dave Matthews Band opened up with a totally smokin' hour-long set, with lots of hot jams...Boyd (the violinist) got so into the jam on Rhyme and Reason that his glasses flew off his face and he didn't even seem to notice! The crowd(except for one guy who kept yelling "bring on the Samples") recieved dmb very well (I don't imagine there were many people there who had heard of them), and Boyd even came back out to jam w/ the Samples. The Samples were hot too (the best that I've heard in three shows since October), but the crowd really wrecked it for me. I was at the edge of the stage from the beginning of the show, and things got pretty well packed in when everyone tried to squeeze into the orchestra pit area. And then...they started moshing, crowd-surfing, and stage-diving!!! I got kickedin the head so many times that I almost wanted to leave. After I gave one "surfer" a little nudge off of my head and onto the floor, another guy came up and started bitching at me for not letting people have fun. I tried to explain that by having my skull bashed in, they were ruining my fun (along with that of the rest of the great folks up front). He then proceed to tell me "This is the mosh pit. Why don't you go back to the fucking country club if you don't want to have a good time." I responded that I just wanted to watch the band without getting beat up, and then turned around to the stage, he started yelling at me "Are you having fun now?" over and over. I really just wanted to punch the guy, although I managed to hold myself back. So needless to say, I was a little bit bummed out, when low and behold, during Underwater People, Sean points at me, waves me onto stage hands me his guitar, and goes of stage. Al and Andy do the same with other people (a couple assholes who tried to come up got stopped by security :-))) Well, I know about three guitar chords, so I sounded like shit, but it was such a buzz!!!!! On stage, with the Samples, looking down at all the jerks who had been kicking me all night was just incredible...I'm still not even sure it really happened...WOW! Well, if anyone's interested I'll try to come up with a setlist as soon as I come out of this state of euphoria.. Later -Dave

Satellite Jane dancing nancies rhyme and reason true reflections II minarets typical Best of what would you say? short instrumental jam ? watchtower 2 step> ants trippin billies the show was about 2 and a half hours.....a little short IMHO....but that's just how it goes.... there was a little instrumental jam before watchtower...not sure if it has a name..? any help out there? seek up was fun, of course there were the obvious highlights: r and r, best of, wwus?, two step>ants (sorta)..... i was glad to see a mix of R2T and other material.....i was afraid since hey were playing a relatively new audience they might want to stick with the standards....

Avalon, fall 1993, the Samples. . . . There was a mosh pit, and I was in it unfortunately. This very drunk guy behind me starts yelling at me, "Dance. Why aren't you dancing? Dance, man." Dancing, as he understood it, was essentially giving people black and blue marks and broken ribs. It ruined the show for me. Plus, that time, the asshole got picked by Andy to play bass. No justice. For anyone going to the show tonight, bring full riot gear and I'll be up front and center (For Dave at least!) in a Harvard '97 hat and WSP shirt. See you there!?! --Ben p.s.: pray for best of!

Alex Crothers said the Burlington show was 2 1/2 hrs and short in his opinion
(not a direct quote). From my experience, 2 1/2 is good for DMB--it
seems like they are always under 2 hrs 15 min.
To add to the list of Dancing nancies intro sound-alikes (i.e. Wilson), how
about Help On The Way?

Hey folks: Just got back from the DMB/Samples show, which, I might add, I left early because the Samples really sucked (this is coming from a FORMER Samples fan, by the way). Anyhow . . . The show was scheduled to start at 7:30pm. Today was a very nice, warm day up here, and seeing as how I only had one class I decided to go down to the Orpheum early-- 5pm. I got there at five (it's down this alley with the entrance to the place all the way at the end). Nothing doing. I walked around the block and killed some time in a book store. At about five-thirty, I went back to the alley and sat down in front of the theater. Then, a minute or two later I see Dave, Leroi, and Stefan walking down the alley toward the theater. So I met them half-way down the street, we talked for a bit, and started walking again. I asked them if they minded if I sat in and listened to the soundcheck. Dave said it was no problem and that I should just walk in with them, which I did. I went directly to the spot right in front of the stage and sat down there. Boyd was already fiddling around ;-) and they all got set up. Here's what they played for the soundcheck today: 1. Dave/Stefan jam-- it was just a really cool riff that they were throwing around for a couple of minutes as the sound was being balanced. Has good groovy potential, perhaps as #37? 2. Recently-- they only did part of it, and by request from the sound people who wanted to check Dave's guitar on the intro. By this point Carter had sat down at his set, and I was getting my own little concert! 3. Nature-- this is a Samples tune that DMB figured out live today. It was obvious they had NEVER played it before. Dave started with the chorus, and after doing that a few times and basically just jamming along, he and Stefan figured out the rest of the tune and ripped it up. It was really good and really funny! Of note here was that when they finally finished the tune, they all completely broke down laughing-- it was damn funny-- and then they started in about the crowd last night at Portland. The stage-diving, the rowdiness, the having people from the audience play guitar, etc. 4. Rhyme Or Reason-- funky, to be sure, with an extra added measure of Dave-scream in this dark version. Leroi and Boyd have come up with a really cool unison part to play in this tune. It looked to me like this was the first time they actually tried it out because of the surprised and extremely pleased look on Dave's face. After that, the band was being shuffled off downstairs to eat dinner, but I had the chance to talk to Dave for a minute and I introduced myself and asked if he remembered me. He said yes, which I could sense since the whole time during the soundcheck he was looking down at where I was sitting trying to figure out who the hell I was. Since every time I've seen Dave I've been front center, and in Athens I made this little "Best of What's Around" sign (which he did remember), I figured I'd introduce myself. I asked him if they'd play Best, and he said it was likely. Also one other thing-- Leroi's new alto sax. Very sweet. I grabbed dinner and was back at the theater at 7pm. Well, it was down-hill from there. Their real set was very good, but obviously it wouldn't live up to my experience during the afternoon. Here's what they played: One Sweet World Tripping Billies Rhyme Or Reason BEST OF WHAT'S AROUND!!! One note here: after they played it, and Dave had stepped back up to the microphone to say something and start the next tune, I yelled "Thank you" to him. He nodded, and said "You're welcome" into the microphone. Cool! Recently True Reflections Two-Step Ants Marching As I said, the Samples were painful to listen to. I left about 40 minutes into their set, and I passed Leroi on the way out and thanked him for a great show. And it was. I don't know how to put this any SUBTLE way, but IT IS TIME THAT THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND PLAY A FULL SHOW, NOT JUST OPENING FOR SOMEONE ELSE, IN THE BOSTON AREA. --BEN P.S. They're in top form these days folks. Really hot. --------------The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong----------------

Subject: DMB at the Orpheum
Wow! DMB really rocked last night. They opened with One Sweet World. I'm not sure of the rest of the setlist, but they played Recently, Tripping Billies, True Refelctions, and alot more. After the third song or so a few friends and I yelled "Ants Marching" and they played it last... I don't know if they heard me, but it was a great strung out version. WHEN IS DMB GOING TO PLAY A FULL SHOW IN BOSTON?!?!?!?!? Every time that they have been here they have opened for another band... ARU in the fall and now the Samples. I like DMB alot more than ARU, and the Samples are pretty good for the first half an hour, but they get boring... all their songs souns alike. --Brian Dietz

Subject: A New DMBer needs some tapes...
I hate grovelling, but I only have one show, the 6/26/93 show in D.C. that was tree'd. Anyway, what I would LOVE is if there is anyone out there is nice enough to help out a guy that loves DMB, but just doesn't have anything besides one show to go by, to email me so we could set up some type of deal. :) My tape list includes a TON of Phish (somewhere over 100 hours), as well as some Hatters, Spin Doctors, Pearl Jam, Shockra, God Street Wine, and the Authority. Thanks. :) Ben just another memo from the cellar, ************************************************************************** * "I can stand brute force, but brute reason * -- Ben Sterling -- * * is quite unbearable.
