Later we discover that the father is dead. ** with Deni Bonet *** electric I had a good time, despite the chattery people who hooted and hoisted their beers when Robyn started "Balloon Man." The show was roughly 70 minutes long--not bad, all things considered. I enjoyed the last tour's MN stop more; a more comfortable venue and a less restricting time schedule. Robyn wore a purple shirt with a black vest throughout the show. He was reasonably talkative between songs, though at the moment I can't remember anything he said. :-P Must be all those hardcore drugs I'm into. Hmmm...a lot of people shouting for "Clean Steve." And Deni's mic stand tried to crush her violin. I have no idea if anyone taped this show. Not having any good way to end the message, I left suddenly. -- Charles ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Nov 1996 14:35:01 -0700 From: rgodfrey@swlink.net (Ryan Godfrey) Subject: The voting thus far... The number of voters is, so far, eleven If I've any pull, they'll get arms, legs, and heaven. The unvoting Fegs stand at three hundred ten-- They're still trying to think of faves other than Men Without Hats (sorry, ten's hard to rhyme Well, it isn't, but doggerel takes to much time). Uh, anyway... my point is, thanks to those of you who have voted. Those who haven't, please do so. The results are already very interesting, but the sample size is so small that I'm worried it's not a very good indicator of the tastes of Fegs in general. For those who may not have seen the rules or who have forgotten, here is the text of the original post: >I got a lot of favorable responses to the idea of a "favorite artists >other than >Robyn" poll.

Do you have a hi-fi VCR?.. you can copy a DAT tape onto a HI-FI video tape at sp speed and not loose any of the quality of the DAT. Just hook your Dat into the stereo , along with your VCR... I got a lot of digital recordings that way from the 94 Pink Floyd tour. You can even make an analog tape from the video tape after you are done...
