From: Delano <eagle-winged-palace@home.com> Subject: FT: Herbie Hancock 9/26/01 Knoxville (FOB - i just taped) - 2 Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 23:17:02 -0400 OK, I don't know the setlist, but if you like Miles Davis or John Coltrane, you definitely want to catch Herbie Hancock's 'Directions In Music.' The songs are re-arranged but true to the spirit of their music. The second song has the bass line from 'So What' while the melody was from a John Coltrane song - wild. Herbie spoke a little bit aobut the recent events and how music has come to mean more to him. All-in-all not your typical Herbie show, and that's exactly why you will want this one. Each of the musicians in this band is a technical genius - check it out to see what you think. I didn't have ANY problem stealthing although the tickets made no mention of 'no unauthorized taping.' I am pleased with the results although the beginning of the first tune is cut due to a whacky deck problem. Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Brian Blade, Ron Hargove and ... (I forget the bass players name) 9/26/01 Knoxville, TN - Tennessee Theatre (2 discs) source: Af:D,CD (taped from the balcony rail, technically a FOB because the rail is in front of the soundboard.) rig info: MTG SMS2000/M210> SX-M2>SBM1>D8 (Yes, I taped this one too) conversion: (Tascam DA20mkii (44k)-> Tascam CDRW700 (44k)) For those interested in a trade, please send your link or list and I will get back with you. If you don't hear back, you didn't make this round. P.S. For those thinking about going and taping, DO SO, and don't be afraid to crank your levels up, their music is dynamic but max volume is rather low. Good luck. Take Care, Delano http://www.geocities.com/digitaldelano/
From: "Gary Davis" <gdavis@loop.com> Subject: Re: DAT > PC > DAT Reply-to: gdavis@loop.com Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 21:38:14 -0700 People ask about this every few weeks. With Windows 98-type system, getting the output to be flawless is tricky. For this and other reasons, DAT>PC>DAT copying has never been accepted by DAT-Heads as a good way to copy tapes (to the best of my knowledge). If you can get the music into your PC, just make CDRs for trading. These are more universally accepted, easier to copy, easier to play, and cheaper. The only drawback is the 80-minute cuts. I admit DAT was better in this respect. But as a distribution medium, CDR is really where it's at right now. One more thing - as far as longevity and possible errors/digi-noise, I think both DAT and CDR are suspect but in different ways. In a few more years we'll know which was more of a disaster to archive music on :-) --Gary

They allow FOB taping. You can use your stand. They don't allow soundboard patches. If you tape, please send a copy of your tape to the band's archivist, Candace Horgan. I don't have her email handy, but I think she's posted recently to the list, so you can find it in the DAT-heads archives. HTH. :) /nm BWT: CD-R B&P to the first two who ask.

From: "Gary Davis" <gdavis@loop.com> Subject: NASA SVCD Tree 2nd and final announcement Reply-to: gdavis@loop.com Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 03:41:07 -0700 Enough time has passed since the tragedy, that I think we can again look up into the skies and watch one of mankind's greatest achievements, the International Space Station - ISS, also known as Space Station Alpha. I prepared an 8-CD set (now 10) in SVCD format Video Discs, documenting Space Shuttle mission STS-104 to travel to the space station and install a new docking compartment, which allows space station residents to step outside anytime without the need for a shuttle. These discs are art, science, and adventure all in one. SVCD discs are video discs recorded on regular CDRs. They are like VCDs only better in quality, but, for the most part, only Chinese-built DVD players like the Apex will play them. However, these discs also have a "PC-Autorun" feature which will let you play them on any recent PC with a CD drive, Windows or Linux. Sorry, I haven't been able to locate any Mac playback software, though I'm sure it must exist. There is also a database at www.vcdhelper.com which can help you tell if your brand DVD player will play these discs (click on "DVD Players"; look in the chart for SVCD *without* a line through it). You can read the original announcement with more description of the discs in the Dat-Head's digest #982. If you already signed up for the tree, don't worry, I still have your info. Here's a little about the two new discs. I'm most excited about a music plus Earth views disc I made, tentatively titled "Apocalypse NASA". It's a trilogy of Earth, Sky, and Sun, featuring Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" (from the 1970 BBC recording), Yes's "Starship Troopers," and "Silvery Rain" by British singer Cliff Richards. The 10th disc will probably be one I made tonight: the latest footage from the International Space Station, including great footage of the automatic docking of an unmanned Russian spacecraft, and then a floating DV-camcorder tour inside the newly delivered module and other nooks and crannies of the space station. And on the audio side, for the first time we get some idea of the noise inside the station, as a mic was left open for narration during the playback of this tour DV. (Yes, space craft are noisy on the inside). Here's a little inside information: Guess what the "bridge" of a real space station looks like? Two laptop computers. Here's another. One astronaut said tonight, "I haven't sat down in 7 weeks". Anyway, if you want to get involved in this informal tree, please send a message to gdavis@loop.com with the subject NASA Branch n - where "n" is the number of sets you are willing to make, or NASA Leaf - if you can't copy. These discs can be copied on EZCDcreator 4 or above or Nero 4 or above, but not CDRWIN. They are 80 minute discs and I recommend "Fuji Film," Sony, or other high-quality discs. It's reality TV that's out of this world! --Gary
From: "Gary Davis" <gdavis@loop.com> Subject: P.s. on NASA SVCD tree Reply-to: gdavis@loop.com Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 03:46:25 -0700 If you are outside the U.S., please also put your country in the subject of the message. In the body of the message, you can tell me what DVD player you have, and I'll tell you if I know if it will play SVCDs. Also, SVCDs can generally be played back on PAL (European) as well as NTSC (US/Japan) systems. No conversion needed! --Gary

From: jopeter1 <jopeter1@vt.edu> Subject: Attention SCI tapers Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 11:25:38 -0400 In today's edition of the VA Tech newspaper they made a reference to taping the upcoming SCI show. They said that taping IS allowed; however, you will be asked to empty out any BIG bags and will not be allowed to bring these big bags in. Although the paper said that they would be strict about it, here is my story from the Trey show at Burrus last February. I did not get searched and the security guy that was suppose to search me(who wasn't a college aged student) said, "pot's okay to bring in, but nothing else." Not to mention the fact that a nitrous tank was on the front lawn. So, we'll see how the handle things in recent light of events. Also, anybody that plans on taping this show please get in touch with me. Thanks, John Peters jopeter1@vt.edu or bonzohoh@aol.com
From: John Flannery <jflannery@excite.com> Subject: Any Stevie Nicks Tapers? Looking for Chicago, others HQ tapes Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 08:43:07 -0700 (PDT) Have been meaning to post about finding a copy of the Chicago performance from her newest tour for my Mother and Sister and was curious if anyone out there has taped the Chicago show or as a second resort-any shows from the tour (since the setlist has stayed pretty much the same except when Sheryl Crow isn't there). If anyone has a sweet in-house fm or nice audience they could share, I have taped on HI-FI VHS every appearance she has made for this album and I'll work from memory real quick what I have on tape for trade... Tape I Much More Music Speakeasy (Documentary and Interview) 52 minutes 5/3/01 Rosie O Donnell 5/06/01 early about 30 minutes (interview and 2 songs) David Letterman 5/06/01 late 15 minutes (1 song and interview) VH1 Rock across America 7-20-01 PNC Banks Center (15 minutes interview and clips from show) Jay Leno with Sheryl Crow 8/??/01 (have date but can't remember) 1 song with interview Sorcerer video with Sheryl Crow (8/??/01) 5 minutes My Tape II has Entertainment Tonight clips from the ABC Downtown feature on her recently followed by the Downtown feature. Downtown was around 15 minutes long. All commercials were edited out and are all masters. I could run a 1st gen for whomever can help me out so I can turn on my Mom and Sis. Any takers?

From: "Otto, Michael" <Michael_Otto@tvratings.com> Subject: Re: DAT > PC > DAT Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 16:01:01 -0400 Cliff On my system, I have to switch the soundcard from internal clock to external sp/dif clock when recording in order to get a signal into the PC. When going back to sp/dif out, you need to change the clocking back to internal. Then you can hear the wav file via the PC, and also output it to the sp/dif output of the soundcard. May not be the same for your setup, but it may be a clue. michael ___________________ Michael Otto Nielsen Media Research Dunedin Florida 727/738-3000 ext 2352
From: -bob <bp@gti.net> Subject: Detectors and security Reply-To: bp@gti.net Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 17:39:53 -0400 >>also, if anyone has any good methods they use to get past metal detectors, >>please email me and let me know.. i'd hate to see these new security measures >>stop me from taping shows. WHOA ! Let's see: You get by the metal detector and are pegged by an undercover security person, who sees a suspicious square electronic device being set-up. He calls on his radio for an evacuation of the show, jumps over 20 people, and tackles you, smashing the deck in the process. Everyone is running out of the door, the band is pissed, and you end up deckless and in jail because IT AIN'T NO JOKE. 6 THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE DEAD. Don't assume that you would get a slap on the wrist for violating the venue's security in times like these. There may very well be serious penalties for doing it. It is wrong to seek ways which make the larger population less safe so that we can tape. Only bring in what they allow and be upfront about it. Taping bands will make provisions for gear inspection. Non-taping bands deserve to have their rights respected. People who "just want to see the show" deserve to be safe in doing so. Just My $0.02, but give it some thought. It's easy to be focused on one thing that's important to us and miss the bigger picture sometimes. -Bob (from NYC)
