Ray, et al:
Get a grip.
The vast majority of the sclping done, is done by the concert promoters,
the venues, and the bands themselves have a say. Most of the great
seats that go for the big bucks, like 5 to 10 times the retail price,
are the blocks of front and center tickets given to ticket brokers. I
saw 6 Clapton tickets on eBay that wee on the floor, about half way
back, go for $50 bucks each over retail. The front and center tickets
from ticket brkers wer going fr $500 or more more than retail cost. I
never checked the price of Phish or DMB tickets, or how many of their
tickets wind up at ticket brokers, but that is were the vast majority of
tickets are scalped for big bucks, not ebay, on the other hand, I don't
check the ebay concert tickets out in their entirety, because I have
other things to do, like respond to emotionally charged, not statisticly
based, posts on e-mail lists.
I know that 90% of the tickets I have bought or sold on eBay, have been
for under ticketmaster prices, so if you need tickets, and want them
cheap, check eBay. I've seen people start asking high prices for
tickets, then as the concert approaches, and the tickets don't sell, the
prices drop to under ticketmaster prices. I haven't looked at any
tickets for sale on eBay since June, but maye some of you have the time
to check, and get your self worked up. Personally, I have far bigger
concerns than $50 one way or the other. Also, eBay is a fraction of the
problem. Ticket Brokers, concert promoters that feed them prime
tickets, and bands that don't specify in their contracts about this
issue of prime tickets going to brokers are the real problem. I never
saw concert tickets on eBay advetised in the New York or Los Angeles
Times.

If anyone happens to have this in any format, I'd very much like to trade
or B & P for it. It was only released on cassette and only sold at John
& Mary shows for about six months, circa 1994.
It's a shot in the dark, but I figure "what the hey...?"
Please drop a line if you can help out.
WOB Tax:
Joe Strummer R.I.P. I'll take a couple of randomly-selected folks for
freebies of Clash 6/13/81 - I'll email you if you get in.

Greetings Dat & Phish heads
I have two extra club seats for the phish show in Denver on Feb 18, 03
I am looking to trade for two tickets to either night in vegas or even a
single for each night. I can not afford to pay what some of these people
want and will end up not going if I can not grab some tickets at face or
even near face.
Happy New Year
DAVE

Is anyone here familiar with the Nomad Jukebox?
http://www.nomadworld.com/products/Jukebox/
Its claims to have a line-in for direct stereo audio
recording in WAV format from external devices (my DAT)
and a USB for output to my PC. Seems like it might be
a decent way to get my DATs onto my PC for CD burning
without any resampling. Open to any comments.
Also curious about digital I/O cards and audio capable
DAT drives. I just need a way to get my DATs onto my
PC as purely as possible.
Thanks in advance.

I couldn't agree more with Ray!! I sent some emails recently to a person
scalping, oopps, sorry "Selling" tickets on Ebay giving him my own .02$ and
he just blasted me with all sorts of insults (quite childish and lame I
might add). Wrong thing to do to this brother...he sure go an earful to say
the least. All in all, he pulled his add!!
I FEEL ITS DEAD ASS WRONG when people or organizations out there are hogging
up many of the tickets just to turn a profit!! That is not what was intended
by the band performing or the promoters. Just because certain individuals
can benefit from "legal loop holes" doesn't mean it morally right. Come on
people get your shit together.......
I would rather stay home on NYE than contribute to the "machine".
In any account, have a safe and wonderful NYE!!
Peace,

> Is anyone here familiar with the Nomad Jukebox?
I just got one. (Jukebox 3)
Until a recent firmware version, it didn't do digital in correctly
(dropped samples). Now it does.
But I'll test it anyway, until I'm confident (play tape at it, copy
file to computer, lather rinse repeat, then compare all the files on
the computer).

Line in is D/A/D conversion, worse than resampling. Better (since it
can't have great A/D) would be to use the optical digital in. I don't
know if it takes 48 kHz, though. (I hope it does; I don't care if it
plays slow, since I'll only be doing this to copy to the computer
anyway.)

I have an external scsi audio-capable dat that (if the Nomad works) I
won't need any more.

I am not sure but to these feeble ears, it sounds like the line has been
slightly altered, to "meds, vitamin V & Rogaine...". Just a guess, we're all
gettin' up there, aren't we? Nothing is quite what it seems anymore.

Is it me or has Bobby stopped saying Cocaine while singing Truckin'? When
is the last time Bobby said "Cocaine" while singing Truckin'? (Livin' on
reds, vitamin c & cocaine)-Check your tapes with a recent Truckin' on it.

night & was hoping that someone made a good recording! I heard that the show
was incredible. Please let me know if you can help.
PEACE & BLESSINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR,

Subject: Mis-load prevention
Reply-to: gdavisloop@earthlink.net

To reduce the chance of mis-loads, after I use my studio deck
(Fostex D5) to "re-pack" the tape, I switch it to "analog" input,
44.1, and record about 1 minute of silence on the tape.
I then eject the tape *without* rewinding and pop it into my Sony
portable, and hit the "time-mode" button to display A-Time.
If everything's working correctly, the display will show the "1-
minute" A-Time. Hit "rewind" and the A-Time should go down.
If somehow the tape mis-loaded, A-Time will not display.
Yes, the tape will unload and reload before you actually start
recording (if it's not stealth, you can always look for the A-time
again), but, the fact it loaded once correctly is generally a good
sign.
And I do NOT take the batteries out on the way to the venue.
You're potentially asking for trouble by killing the power and getting
a cold re-start, rather than let the portable's "intellegent power
management" continue to handle the tape.

It's important that you record the test A-time on your home or
studio deck, and then play it back on the portable. This will assure
that the tape didn't load "flipped".
