Even though the gamehenge set was orgasmic to say the least, I don't really believe it belongs on the CD. I think the point of the double CD is to chronicle the band's diverse song structures and improvisational talents by mixing songs from different dates together. I'm sure the band realizes that most fans can get a hold of almost any show, including GreatHenge. There are certain "moments" during a show where the band takes you to another level. The CDs should capture the best of these "moments", allowing the listener to feel this musical ecstacy throughout. Off the top of my head, my favorites are the jam in Foam when the music flows soooo smooth and the buiding intensity of a Maze jam. Peace. Daniel J.

Hoist has some jewels on it, but songs like Wolfman's Brother, Sample and Dwd are very derivative. There's nothing wrong with a little classic rock, mind you, but there are many better bands for that stuff than Phish. I resent "Sampleheads" not for their newness to the scene, but for their lack of appreciation for Phish stuff that's further "out there." It has been my experience that people who don't listen very deeply to music can enjoy stuff like Sample, Chalkdust, etc. They scratch their heads bemusedly during Reba, Harry, YEM, etc. And they cringe in disgust when they hear Demand, SOAMelt, a screaming chaotic Bowie jam, a vocal jam, the Asse Festival, etc...in short, the stuff that in my opinion makes Phish so unique and cool. Again, not everyone needs to be a music major. But better mainstream music can be found elsewhere, without invading our little scene. ------------------------------ From: Jessie Steimer Subject: trade possibility Reply-To: steimerj@luigistoaster.pds.charlotte.nc.us Date: Tue, 14 Feb 1995 12:59:37 GMT i'm looking for good quality tapes of shows from 2-17-93 benton convention center and 2-16-91 (not sure of the venue). if anyone's interested in setting up a trade, let me know and i'll shoot my list your way. thanks! peace, love, and spam- 8) jessie steimerj@luigistoaster.pds.charlotte.nc.us ------------------------------ From: netquest@inforamp.net Subject: *RE:***S****N****A****D Date: 13 Feb 1995 16:38:53 -0500 Dear Sur ray, It hurts when you pee from hot crust build up!This is a case that can be easily cured by having several doses of Codine.Maaaan Codine ya!

I just got some really nice tapes of 12/28/94 (thanks C.D.!) and I'd like to share 'em. I'll make tapes for the first three people who can email me by tomorrow evening _and_ get tapes to me by the weekend so I can tape them next week. This is very important as I will have no dubbing equipment after next week! Limited time offer. Also, since I will have some unexpected access to some taping equipment next week I'd really like to do some trading. I'm looking especially for anyone with HQ, preferably DAT, copies of 12/2/94 Davis and 12/3/94 San Jose (including the DMB). I have about 50 hours to trade, and a couple great '93's and '94's on DAT that I'd love to share. Also - this is my quarterly grovel - I'm still looking for 3/25/93 Santa Cruz and 12/31/91 Worcester. C'mon, it's been nearly a YEAR! Doesn't ANYONE have those Santa Cruz tapes?

Significantly smaller. > ummm....Well, just for accuracy's sake, the sampling rate is actually roughly 44kHz, which has nothing to do with the "8-bit" part. 8-bit means that the voltage range over which the signal varies is divided into 2^8=256 discrete (*not* continuous) levels. The difference between discrete and continuous voltage signals is the difference between digital and analog encoding. I 'm not really sure, but 8-bit seems too low; if someone knows for sure, please tell me. (I thought they were stored in 16-bit precision, but since I don't know, I'll shut up :-) ) The original ASCII code allowed for 128 characters (7-bit), but IBM made up their own version which has 256 characters (8-bit) which is pretty standard these days. As far as the encyclopedia goes, if we assumed that an encyclopedia set contains 100 million characters (just as an example) which could all be encoded in the original 7-bit ASCII code, the encyclopedia would require 100,000,000*128= 12,800,000,000 bits = 160MBytes. (There are 8 bits to the byte.) A 45 min CD by comparison, stored in 8-bit precision with a 44kHz sampling rate would require approximately 45min*60s/min*44,000/s*256bits = 3,801MBytes. Whether or not memory storage was the main reason for choosing the length of CD's or not, I don't know. I would be the choice had more to do with marketing though.

Date: 14 Feb 1995 08:12:21 GMT I think the question can be rephrased as: "Why are so many people afraid to like Phish?" IMHO, the reason people don't like them is that they sound like they are having too much fun. Also, I think having some psychedelic experience helps appreciate the tunes - though it is as likely nowadays to find people that actively deny their past travels. For them, the vast open avenues that phish's music represents might be threatening indeed.

My favorite Stashes are all from the same month but I haven't heard that one yet. For anyone interested in other hot Stashes check out: 5/8 Austin 5/13 Tempe 5/19 Eugene (Probably my favorite of the four) 5/21 Seattle For earlier versions, my favorites are (curiously enough) 5/8/93, and 5/8/92 Based on this information, I propose that May 8th be declared "Stash Day", although the whole month of May should be celebrated as "Stash Month". On another related note, I just heard 5/8/77 from those old guys and let me tell you, that is one hell of a show. No matter what you think of the Dead, do yourself a favor and check that one out...I've always been kinda apathetic about the Dead but 5/8/77 has really shaken my sensibilities. It's a definite Golden Hose kinda show. Does anyone else know of any other remarkable music performed on May 8th...besides the Stashes, those three Phish shows are all smokers (particularly 5/8/93) and I'd love to hear any GD that's better than 5/8/77 (I'm ready to experience a renaissance) Scott ------------------------------ From: mark-goldberg@nwu.edu (Mark L.
