Livephish.com is *not* the competition. Truth is there *is* no competition. People who want the Dead want the Dead, not Phish. A businesslike move would be to determine what price maximizes their profit and charge that price.

Nice TOG though, as was the Kansas City version a week or 2 before. I really like the Roanoke '87 Scarlet>Fire too, especially for the FOTM, with the delay on the chorus vocals.

It definitely can't hurt.

Date: 6 Oct 2005 15:25:16 -0700 1) Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game Like most musical genres 95% of electronica is crap and 5% is interesting. Thievery Corporation falls into electronica's 5%, with The Cosmic Game their strongest effort to date. Features guest appearances by Perry Farrell and David Byrne. 2) Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - In the Heart of the Moon These two african heavyweights got together earlier this year to record one song, which went so well that they kept on going to record an entire CD. No rehearsals, fully improvised, very good. 3) Fela Kuti - Shuffering and Shmiling/No Agreement Great classic Fela. 4) Ethiopiques, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale, 1969-1974 As you can see I've been on something of an African kick of late. This is a compilation with most contributions by Ethiopean jazz musician/arranger Mulatu Astatqe. Jammin' Ethiopian funk-soul-jazz accented with Ethiopian roots music - works quite well. 5) Neil Young - Prairie Wind I just got this one and haven't fully absorbed it yet, but my initial impression is that it seems to be another great one from Neil. Damn impressive - most songwriters from the era he started in stopped creating new music of this quality decades ago. 6) Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane (the new one) An incredible find. Works for me. Ray ------------------------------ From: "mizshely" Subject: Re: Happy B'day Ace Hall Date: 6 Oct 2005 15:29:33 -0700 Bobby Weir was born October 16, 1947.
