  1. DBT on the CMT program " American Revolutions: Southern Rock" Jan. 29 11PM http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/drive_by_truckers/oncmt.jhtml Also, a featured artist... http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/drive_by_truckers/artist.jhtml
  2. Yeah, I checked with the online deadbase as well, but I meant from the actual book which gives you a lot more information, like cancelled shows.
  3. Right on. Cold rain and snow opener and then the Brown Eyed Women line "snowed so hard..." made the place explode. If memory serves me well I recall looking at a copy of Deadbase a couple years after 93 and the cancelled show never even appeared in the "cancelled show list". Always found that sorta cool, especially when I had the ticket.. Anybody have a more recent edition that could check to see if the show ever appeared listed as cancelled?

    Ron Sexsmith

    Go, Ron puts on a fantastic show in my opinion. You'll probally enjoy it.
  5. Fortunately for us, we took a bus package (not Vic's from rock express) to those show(s), and our bus driver was a crusty 60+ yr old French Canadian guy who kept saying "I've driven through worse" ...lol But yeah, that was a serious amount of snow, I still have the unused ticket for the first night.
  6. Tell em its for Mr. LaForge! I know it's old, but I still love it. Hope your doing well MoMack, been awhile.
  7. Although, not really a great GD story, it is a story I remember because we made some great friends and scored a ride to Auburn Hills because of this... I was hanging out with my native friend Wade in the lot before the second show in 92, we were wandering the lot being social and drinking beers when a couple of American heads asked what time it was and Wader looks up at the sky, takes a drink of beer and says "ahhh, it's about 5:30", the heads laughed and a few seconds later some guy with a watch walked by and was asked for "real" the time, the guy says "5:35" or something close to what Wade said. One the Americans looked at Wade in surprise and asks how he was able to get so close by looking at the cloud covered sky, Wader looks at them and says with a drunken smirk on his face "Well, I'm native, we just know that shit" - after some laughter one of the American's ask, "what do you do at night?" - Wader promptly answers "I drink". Sealed the deal, we all made friends right there and then, partied together until the show, met up with afterwards and they gave us a ride to the next shows and we kept in touch for the next year afterwards even, crossing paths one last time in Richfield, march 93 during th snow storm. Simple but awesome things happened at GD shows, man what a great time.
  8. William Elliott Whitmore (Folk / Soul / Other) 'The Chariot' is a great song. http://www.myspace.com/whitmorewilliamelliott www.williamelliottwhitmore.com
  9. Although, not 8mm figure I may as well throw this out there. I have a ton of VHS-Cs with my cannabis cup footage (including Rita Marley's performace at the Melkweg on awards night) from 1997, but my camera has stopped working. I have a DVD recorder but just need the VHS adapater or camera to be able to convert. I know I can pay to have them converted but in all honesty, a lot of the footage I'd rather not have some stranger watching. I've looked around for the adapter but couldn't find one. Anyone have the cassette adapter for VHS-C tapes or know where to get one? And buying online isn't an option.
  10. I think your pretty bang on there Marc0 - Personally, I had seen the Dead twice, years earlier (84 and 86) and did some touring in 1987, which was the year I officially became a "deadhead" I guess. I even knew some heads (a couple from grade school) previous to the 90 shows, but as for a 'scene', there certianly wasn't one when compared to what grew in this area after the first shows.
  11. Thats it, I'm selling my stock in google and becoming a scientologist...because I really want to help.
  12. I know man, I was just having some fun. But, I can think of a few songs without repeating an artist *cough*Jason Isbell Linda Thompson Randy Newman*cough* that would finish this off, but until today I hadn't opened this thread since my post in the last topic..
  13. Yeah, life's full of disappointments...
  14. All 'round stand up guy. Glad that we have met. :thumbup:
  15. I guess BR figures it was worth a shot, since crying about difficulty of a theme worked (to make it easier) for folks right after labour day...
  16. Both years (90 and 92) I took time off work to camp out and party waiting for tickets to go on sale..1990 there was about 40 of us, in 92 it seemed there were well over a hundred. Camping in Chedoke golf course in 92 with some folks from Boston we met, and having a fire to boot. All the cops asked was everyone keep the fire to a single spot since it was the golf course. Unbelievable cool. I still have all the newspaper articles, one from 92 which includes a picture of snow covered tents in Chedoke..
  17. For anyone interested, there are new AUD sources for The Grateful Dead - Copps Coliseum '92 recently added to archive. In my opinion they sound better then the other AUDs. 1992-03-20 http://www.archive.org/details/gd1992-03-20.fob.schoeps.gems.76478.sbeok.flac16 1992-03-21 http://www.archive.org/details/gd1992-03-21.fob.schoeps.evens.gems.76484.sbefail.flac16

    I Hate Snow

    With the couple days where it was above +10 and rained there isn't any snow around here. The plowed piles not included.
  19. I've only used it remotely via winamp player at a friends house. Only issues I've had in the past is that it has trouble streaming data files (FLAC/SHN), but other then that it seems to stream my mp3s fine.
  20. Uploaded this for KanadaKev and figured I should post this here for anyone else who might be interested. FLAC with text and CD art. http://www.sendspace.com/file/telj0b
