Dylan has only gotten stronger in vocals with time where the Deads vocals are going the opposite way. Dylan has strong stage pressence and has a very tight band, the Dead are tight if you define that as an old ball of string that the cat has bat around the house. Phil and Friends tight, the Dead not! Dylan is history man and history will be recorded like it or not. The only reason I am thinking of hitting some dead shows is that Dylan is opening and may come out as a guest with them. I went to shows with Steve Winwood opening and he blew the Dead away, they need to retire the act or give Joan Osborne the lead vocals on more songs and shut that egotistical maniac, BOB WEIR, up. Bob needed direction, I used to like Bob's stuff. Without Jerry he has lost his way. Tape Dylan whenever you can!! From: ISTEIN2@aol.com Subject: Re: Bob Dylan Taping! Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 10:29:47 EDT THIS IS A REPOST OF MY PREVIOUS POST THAT SOMEHOW DIDN'T COME OUT IN ANY LANGUAGE ANY OF US KNOW >>Okay guys, everyone got that? No taping Bob Dylan cuz security will be watching you!>> Personally, I really don't think Bob Dylan is ever worth taping. I've been to plenty of his shows and taped him plenty of times in the past two decades. There was a time when he played with the Dead (and/or opened for the Dead), and he never had a problem with us tapers. I never found any of those recordings to be enjoyable to listen to. Either his rock band was too loud and his vocals were too low, or the sound just sucked in general! He's been doing the same stuff for years and thinks someone will make money off his recordings in some way. Maybe he thinks it will hurt his recording sales. Or, most probably, he just thinks he's too damn great a performer, and we tapers are nothing but leaches and pieces of shit. In any case, I wouldn't even give him the consideration to listen to his performances when he opens up for the Dead. I'll just go out to the concession area and hang out till he's done doing what he thinks is so great! I wonder if Dylan will try to stop tapers from taping him when he comes out and joins the Dead for a song? He should do the same thing as was done when he make a guest appearance with the Dead back in 1994 at MSG ( believe it was the Monday show). Namely, his mic was never turned on! You saw him on stage, but no one heard him. ============================== ===== Casey __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

My liteon 52X burns flawless > discs in 2 1/2 minutes. Now I do a lot of mastering at 1x and most of you probably are striving for 600x, but I'll quote from a recent HHb Press Release: ======================= As most CD-R media manufacturers chase the large and lucrative data recording market, evidence is emerging that high record-speed discs are failing in standalone audio CD recorders. Dennis Charney of Pennsylvania pro audio service center NXT Generation reports "We're seeing an increasing number of audio CD recorders from all manufacturers with the fault reported as 'does not record'. We check them out using correctly speed-rated discs and find that they work perfectly. When we ask the users what type of discs they use, they often reply 'the same as I always use' but what they don't understand is that most manufacturers are constantly increasing the speed ratings of their media for compatibility with the latest high-speed computer drives. Unfortunately, this means they're often no longer compatible with the 1x drives used in audio CD recorders." It's a problem that New Product Development Manager Henry Edwards is also seeing at HHb Communications in London. "High-speed discs will often set-up in audio CD recorders and even appear to finalize, but won't replay. What's more, these discs put an excessive strain on the lower powered lasers of audio CD recorders which can reduce component life, making it all the more important that operators use correctly speed-rated discs." To address this problem, HHb has developed a comprehensive range of pro-audio optimized CD-R recording media, specifically developed and extensively tested for use with standalone audio CD recorders and duplicators. The HHb Professional Recording Media range includes a range of 74 minute, 80 minute, printable and bulk packaged 'silver type' discs, all rated 1x-24x, and a 'gold type' 1x-8x disc. "Users need consistently reliable performance at 1x" concludes Charney. "They should be cautious of using any CD-R disc with a specified speed rating wider than 1x-24x". ========================== End quote. Food for thought.

New York, NY 2003 - After successfully recording two solo albums, mixing influences of classic rock and blues, guitarist/singer/songwriter Joe = Bonamassa will release his first full-blooded blues album, Blues Deluxe on August 26, = 2003. The CD, a project close to the 26-year-old's heart, marks his contribution = to 2003 - The Year of the Blues. Born on May 8, 1977 (coincidentally Robert Johnson's 66th birthday), = Bonamassa caught the attention of some of the world's best blues players while not = even in his teens. BB King discovered the young prodigy at 12-years-old, sparking = the beginning of his career. Bonamassa would go on to tour with King as well as with = John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, and many, many others. So, paying homage to these legends was something Joe thought about long = and hard. Among those on Blues Deluxe are BB King's "You Upset Me Baby," Albert Collins' "Left Overs," and John Lee Hooker's = "Burning Hell." As well, Bonamassa covers songs by Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Freddie King, along with several = of his own original tracks, making this CD a must for blues lovers. Playing guitar since the age of 4, Bonamassa is a virtuosic musician = with mind-blowing dexterity who doesn't lose sight of the raw passion that makes blues music what it is. "Woke Up Dreaming," co-written by = Bonamassa and "Tears In Heaven" collaborator Will Jennings, exhibits Joe's amazing speed on acoustic guitar, all the while staying = true to the earthy style of early Delta finger-pickers. The instrumental Albert Collins' song "Left Overs," highlights Bonamassa's maturity with = instinctive flourishes that only hint of the pyrotechnics of which he's capable, while the jaw-dropping solo in the T-Bone Walker-inspired "Long = Distance Blues" provides an opportunity to let it all hang out. Buddy Guy's "Man of Many Words" finds Joe giving listeners a lesson in = country-fried funk. Bonamassa's throaty, hearty vocals and grounded guitar style show how = much he's learned from the blues masters. Among echoes of BB King, Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan are elements that are all his = own. At critical junctions, Bonamassa launches into unexpected, body-rocking new scales, riffs with finger-cramping flurry, securing his = place among fellow young guns like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks. The recording of Blues Deluxe was inspired while Bonamassa was in the = midst of a two-plus year tour in support of his 2002 release So, It's Like That (which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart multiple times = in 2002 and 2003). Fans, immersed in every bluesy note of his acclaimed live performances, often asked whether a full blues record was = in the offing. When the tour ended, Bonamassa entered the studio with producer Bob Held and engineer Gary Tole (David Bowie, Jimmy = Vaughan, Bon Jovi) and recorded a handful of blues covers to "blow off steam." The resulting masters were so compelling that Bonamassa and his label = decided to finish the record and release Blues Deluxe in time for the Year of the Blues celebrations. Joe Bonamassa and Medalist Entertainment are dedicated to supporting = Blues music. In conjunction with the release of Blues Deluxe, Joe has joined forces with the Blues Foundation (www.blues.org) to = participate in the Blues In The Schools program. In celebration of 2003 being the Year of the Blues, Joe will appear at schools across the = nation this winter to perpetuate the heritage and legacy of Blues music = to new generations of music fans. ------------------------------ From: KindTaper@aol.com Subject: A Perfect Circle Atlanta 7/30 ticket Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 20:40:50 -0400 Does anyone out there have an extra?

Oh wait, except for one thing - reviews state you can't monitor the recording level!!! How do you avoid clipping without being able to monitor the level? Do I have to get a preamp to make this do-able, and if so, wouldn't I still need to be able to monitor the levels? Any information would be appreciated. Chris Hickman ------------------------------ From: "Gary Davis" Subject: Stones on Canadian TV this Wednesday Reply-to: g@hoxnet.com Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2003 22:54:21 -0700 This message is primarily of interest to those who can receive Canadian TV, and no one else should read it.
