I'm pretty new on the list and now that I've waded through the recent digests (although I would've much preferred a ventilator...), I feel prepared to venture into the list myself. First off, my most pressing question: why doesn't he play in Germany more than he does? He toured here in '85, but back then I didn't know him; I saw my first R.E.M. show that year... The next time was early in '92, seven years later!! At that, together with that terrible group Fatima Mansions. I wonder who set up that double bill... I caught two of those shows, in Cologne and in Frankfurt. But I was lucky enough to see him on two other memorable occasions, in New York and in Brighton, UK (That's how far I go for his shows). Well, to be honest, I just happened to be there when he was, too. I've got a tape from the Brighton show (at the ZAP-Club), I'll mail the set list one of these days... He played with Morris and Chris Cox on double bass. The show is half guitar, half piano. Strange stuff, indeed. That must be 5 years ago by now. The New York show was at Tramp's, '90 or '91 maybe, a solo show. When he played in Germany, he refused to play anything but German! Polite on the one hand, but most people here understand English, and his German wasn't fluent enough for him to be able to tell his regular in-between-songs stories :-( I really wonder what his attitude towards Germany is. It pops up as a reference in several of his songs, he speaks the language. Why doesn't he play here more? I guess that's enough for now, more next time!

(it's hard to describe) I'm still hoping that A&M will re-press GOF and include the b-sides from the Balloon Man cd5, along with this one (that only appeared on vinyl). It would seem that the supplies in stock of GOF are slowly disappearing, so it wouldn't be that much of a far-fetched idea, if only a wish... (yes, woj?) > BTW this place also has Live Death. They also want you to die before you can > get it.... $40 for a fucking ep!!! Guess I should be used to this by now. Live Death could be worth it, depending on how nuts you are about the acoustic performances, and on how much you value having things on disc. The Richard Thompson and John Lennon covers are both excellent, as is the acoustic When I Was Dead. I've gotten accustomed to paying 35 DM for nearly all cds over here, which works out to something like $25, so $40 doesn't really sound like that much anymore for something rare... susan From bellahs!bellahs.com!lroberts@uunet.UU.NET Tue Jun 15 13:13:50 1993 Received: from relay1.UU.NET by wookumz.gnu.ai.mit.edu (5.65/4.0) with SMTP id ; Tue, 15 Jun 93 13:13:50 -0400 Received: from spool.uu.net (via LOCALHOST) by relay1.UU.NET with SMTP (5.61/UUNET-internet-primary) id AA10154; Tue, 15 Jun 93 13:13:45 -0400 Received: from bellahs.UUCP by spool.uu.net with UUCP/RMAIL (queueing-rmail) id 131138.25944; Tue, 15 Jun 1993 13:11:38 EDT Received: from aristotle.bellahs.com by bellahs.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA04741; Tue, 15 Jun 93 08:19:15 PDT Received: by aristotle.bellahs.com (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA16209; Tue, 15 Jun 93 08:19:14 PDT Date: Tue, 15 Jun 93 08:19:14 PDT From: lroberts@bellahs.com (Laurence Roberts PSE) Message-Id: <9306151519.AA16209@aristotle.bellahs.com> To: fegmaniax@gnu.ai.mit.edu Subject: Astronime Dominae, etc. Well, it's too early to spell Astronime Dominae, but someone was mentioning an incident with an obnoxious requester at a Hitchcock gig, and they were wondering if there was a recording. It's on Hive at the Lope. Speaking of Syd Barrett, it's kind of annoying that the EMI/Harvest Syd box claims to be "The Complete Recordings", but doesn't include Vegetable Man. It's just Madcap, Barrett, and Opel, with extra takes tacked on the end of each disc. It appears to be a UK-only thing at the moment. The lengthy Hitchcock interview was quite interesting. Thanks to the poster.

I heard the other Floydies were keeping the lid on that track. "The Complete Recordings" also does not include the Peel Session songs, either. --
