Back in the day when you wanted to hear your favorite artist play live shows, you had to trade tapes with other people, you found through newsgroups and forums (and earlier on even magazines).
A column on Ants Marching (a DMB website) brought back some nice memories. It was a lot of hassle to copy tapes, going to the postoffice etc. But it it all paid off when the mailman delivered that low-gen tape of a show that was performed just a few months back .
My trading circles must have been a little different, Maxell XL II (and later the more expensive XL-II-S) as well as TDK-SA and some Sony (cant remember exactly what name) tapes were acceptable.
Willie has covered one of my favorite Dave Matthews songs, Gravedigger. There is a wonderful video up on YouTube. Unfortunetely embedding is disabled but you can follow the link below .
Over the past few weeks, I watched a lot of House. I have no clue why that excellent show didn’t catch my attention earlier, but I did a lot of catching up . Bought the season I & II dvds, and have season III incoming from amazon.com.
This is one of my favourite scenes. It’s from Season III that’s being broadcast at the moment on dutch tv on thursday nights. Excellent part by Dave Matthews !
While browsing through some flac and mp3 files on my drive, I came across this amazing track of the Xmas 2006 jam of Mule and Dave. And much to my surprise it’s also featured on YouTube . Enjoy !
