I'm on another list, Quicksilver, as in Messenger Service. You might
remember them if you're old enough. Thier guitarist, Gary Duncan tells us
that the problem he has with tape trading is not that there is a potential
loss of income, but that they're not "on" every night and he doesn't like to
have bad performances or sound quality out there where it can ruin a
listener's impression of them. Seems like a reasonable concern, given the
quality of some of the live tapes I've heard of everyone from Richard to
Quicksilver to the Dead.

But, she'll just pick up an acoustic, give you that innocent little girl
grin, quietly laugh and say? "Nevah!"

"On" is in the ear of the beholder. I would bet that Richard would not --
in the least -- have considered his performance at the Ark a couple of
weeks ago to be "on". But *I* happened to think that it was one of the
finest shows I've yet seen of his and I've seen him quite a few times
(though not by Greitzian standards!) despite and *because* of his
mistakes.

As far as sound quality, I collected Dylan bootleg tapes many, many years
ago and the poor quality of many of those recordings did not diminish the
power of many of his performances. [Do you think I could use the word
"many" many more times in a sentence without getting many of you to get
sick?!?] One of the finest recordings I have is an audience tape of Dylan
singing "Abandoned Love" at (I think) the Bitter End (or was it the Other
End?) just prior to the Rolling Thunder Revue tour. It is one of the most
amazing performances I've ever heard -- and I wouldn't trade it for the
studio version on the officially released "Bootleg Series" discs.

In the second-part of my "Forgotten Favorites of the Eighties Extravaganza," a
friend of mine and I are planning to see Billy Idol this April! Yeah, that's
right--I said BILLY IDOL!!!
<throws head back and laughs maniacally>

For some reason, I thought this was a bit of trivia fitting of the Richard-list.
I figured my excitement at seeing the King of the Eighties himself would amuse
some and horrify others. My goodness, I used to be so obsessed with this guy.
Have always had a special place in my heart for the over-the-top inimitable
weirdness of him and other jewelry-wearing, bottle-blonde guys of the Eighties.
At first I was really upset that those old days were coming back, but hey, if
you can't beat them, join 'em! Right?

Umm...Richard-content...er...I would pay a lot of money to see Richard perform
an evening of Billy Idol covers. Starting with "Flesh for Fantasy" and working
all the way down to "Dancing with Myself."

This is even better than seeing Vanilla Ice last spring! hehe

Peace,
Vanessa ("It's-a-nice-day-to-start-again") Wills ;-)

Well, 'cause I was a jewelry-wearing, tattoo-sporting bottle blond in the
80's.  Well, and the 90's.  And up to last year, actually.  And I've been to a
white wedding.  And am scared by the notion of eyes without a face.

Peace.
Mark
