In The Spotlight

[Jake]

We've added in the lastest "in the spotlight" show, 2.17.93.

We're going to try and add in a show to that a week (or so), focusing mainly on older shows that some new fans might not have heard.


If you have any suggestions, post em here!

[Mark]

thanks for the heads up

[boiii]

hey jake,
what was the in the spotlight show that was listed right before.
i meant to d/l it yesterday but the .ants file never came through, so i thought id just try again today :)

cheers.
ken

[Jake]

If you click on the "view all shows that have been in the spotlight" link, right below the "spotlight" featured show box, they are all listed there.


the previous one was 3.10.94, which I highly reccommend

[boiii]

im the most oblivious person sometimes.

cheers.

3-16-93 Jake. Probably my favorite pre-95 show to listen to. The Ants is a damn solid version with a kick ass 2001 intro. The Batman twist to recently is unexpected and I can't think of Warehouse or Two Step being played solo too many times. Not to mention I love the sound Doug brings.

So yeah, there's my suggestion:)

[Jake]

8.25.95 is the latest 'in the spotlight' show.


Jamie's suggestion of 3.16.93 is a great one, and will soon be a select show. I highly recommend that one too!

[FPrefect61]

w00t, glad to see another suggestion. There's so many to choose from, it's hard to find a place to start. At work I can violate the 1991-2002 server for all it's worth. :D

[Matt]

There'll soon be a little revision to the spotlight update page - i think its getting messy.

[Jake]

Finally.... another 'in the spotlight' show added in.

again, I'm going to -try- to put a new one in more often.


key word, try.

[FPrefect61]

I'm giving 2/17/93 a listen, and the Seek Up in it is really good, different lyrics, and Carter's cymbal work is amazing.

I love this Spotlight section. :)

[StitDawg]

My suggestion:

Dave Matthews Band
August 27, 2000
Meadows Music Theatre, Hartford, CT


Dancing Nancies
Seek Up ...>
Linus And Lucy ...>
Pantala Naga Pampa ...>
Rapunzel
I'll Back You Up
Busted Stuff
Recently
Raven
The Maker
Grey Street
Grace Is Gone
Say Goodbye
Bartender
JTR
Ants Marching
Encore:
The Stone
Drive In Drive Out

Wow. One of the best setlists ever.

I just wanted to tell the hosts that I really enjoy the spotlighted show feature. I've kind of started downloading from those, and I've loved everyone of them. Thanks!

[penn darvis]

The spotlight show called Big League Chew, I have 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me out, and I hope this post isn't in the wrong area or something. Why is it called Big League Chew, were they a sponsor? Why is it "infamous"?

[lungmigo]

... life is so peachy.

edit: Ugh, I'm sorry. It's just that every time I see the title of this thread, the song goes through my head.

yep, big league chew is the sponsor. it's infamous for being peter greiser's last show with the band as well as a great set, with many great versions of songs.

it's also infamous b/c, according to legend, Jeff Bagby was drunk as, well, a drunk, and made up some goofy names of the songs when he wrote out the setlist for the show.

Any other recommendations? :)

[Jake]

[Mark]

:D

[Lcsulla]

Grab 9-3-95... listened again the other night... fucking WOW... David Ryan Harris is off the hook on half the show and Dionne Ferris adds a lot to Typical... damn solid show and the schoeps tape smokes!

[drans2]

Jake,
When downloading this show, on track 12, it finished me prematurely.
The message was unexpected token. the expected token was line 9 position 32.

I wonder if anyone else had troube, or if I should just try it again.

Thank You,

Dan :confused:

[drans2]

Holy cow, the exact message ocurred at the exact line when downloading 9/3/95. Any thoughts anyone?

[Mike]

which show, I will check the MD5's but most likely you just need to re-download the track.

[DMBMike36]

Here are a few recommendations from me of older shows:

8.4.92
Fox Theater Nov 94 Run
Opening for the Dead in Vegas 95 run
5.11.96 in Toronto
8.20.95 in Cincy
10.14.94 in Athens

[drans2]

which show, I will check the MD5's but most likely you just need to re-download the track.
It was the 90-93 demo's & then 9/3/95. Could I get "timed out" of the system somehow? Both shows gave the same message at the same time.

Thanks guys.

[Mike]

I verified the MD5s. They are fine. Redownload the tracks :bounce

I figured as much. Thank you very much for looking into it.

Dan

[drans2]

Can anyone who's downloaded the 90 - 93 demo's, tell me what track #11 is? Thanks.

[Jake]

Kind Intentions, just like the txt file says

[Mark]

:lol

[drans2]

I must be brain dead, I couldn't / can't find this list.

[drans2]

Kind Intentions, just like the txt file says
I found it, sometimes my weak computer skills show through. Thanks for answering anyway Jake. :o

[Jake]

latest greatest up for spotlight... the 91 demos. a must have.

[greppson]

why did this get topped, there's nothing new here???

edit: that is weird, there was no page 3 a minute a go for me...

[Lcsulla]

Jake has a poltergeist doing his mod duties lately:)

[Jake]

The Two Step on that 91 demos is wicked awesome.

[drans2]

Alriiiight, a new Spotlight. (Rubs hands and grins)

[Mark]

hey jake. care to recommend a new show?

[FPrefect61]

Absolutely, any more hidden gems?

[greppson]

11.3.92

http://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=2873

Granted there have been 2 other Novamr 1992 shows "In The Spotlight", this show really is another strong one for the band. It was the night of the Presidential Election and for some reason the boys were just on. Opening up the set with a short but sweet Halloweebn followed by a nice PFWYG would be considered unheard of by todays standards for the band. Later in the set we see Ants Marching segueing into Dancing Nancies, and just before the end of the first set, Peter does a nice jam leading the boys into a quick version of Exodus. The fun continues with probably the best version of Warehouse ever done by the band. You need to hear it before you go claiming any other version is better than this. The boys must have felt very strong that night, ending the set with Satellite.

[Jake]

I was waiting for a few of the sarah b and T Reimensnyder shows to get moved over... I'll have to check and see if they made it into the public side (we have to double check em 1st).

I thought I already did 11.3.92? it's only like my 3rd fav show..... best Warehouse ever.

Gettin it now. :)

I don't think you recommended it, Jake. I've got all the Spotlight shows so far, and I didn't have this one.

well, we do have the recent 10.7.93 coming out around and then the 2.16.94 that just surfaced...

[Jake]

just did one... with a screaming 2 year old in the background - so I should get hazard pay for it-

2.4.93. one of my all time fav's.

[Mark]

:thumbsup

thanks

10-16-96.

http://www.antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=2369

Very solid show. This was about a week or two after the ASTB jams began and the one here is toned down to a shorter one than we know today. Even with that, the whole show features a lot of dave scatting. Look at the opening of Seek Up, LIOG, #41, and then Billies. It just screams amazing. A nice Recently towards the end of the set with the Norweigan Wood verses done during the intro to the song, makes this a particularly interesting set. A great old school #36 going into Ants to close the set.:)

how's the quality on that one?

[Jake]

about that 11.3.92 show that Jason mentioned above, 1. d/l it, b/c it's great, and 2. understand that Disc 1 has 'filler' on it. it's what they used to call 'side A' filler, meaning that the analog tape had some extra time on - wait for it- side A and they threw some extra stuff on it.

the jam and Exodus are from 6.27.92. I put a note on the txt file now.


if you've already d/led it, you can add this to the bottom. put the + by the jam and exodus.


+ AM.ORG Note: This is Side A filler from the analog tape. The Jam and Exodus
are from the 6.27.92 show.

[greppson]

damn you are on top of stuff... :)

i didn't even know. haha.
oh, and the sound quality on the 10.16.96 is good. very decent for a 96.

that's why they pay me the big bucks.


give a listen to 11.10.93, Seek Up. The first 3 notes Dave plays almost sound like he's going into #41. nifty stuff... again, that's me earning my doss.

[mantra4]

'96 rocks my face

i wonder how many people read that and said "what's analog mean?"

:lol

aaahh... analog. those were the days

[Jake]

I don't know if anyone knows/cares, but usually when I do a spotlight show, I do a 'did you know' as well. there's something like 18 or 19 now. if you keep hitting 'refresh' on the main tour central page, you can cycle thru em.

[Mark]

:cool:

[Jake]

alert the authorities: a new spotlight show is up.


new old school, we're in the 2000's for this one.

I've got that show, and I love it. In fact, I'll bring it to work tomorrow.

Hopefully more people pick it up when the 2000-2004 server's back up. :)

[missycor]

I appreciate this feature so much! Thank you for the always wonderful recommendations. :)

/shameless brown-nosing

[Lcsulla]

People should check out 6-16-97, I know Jake has heard it! Rarely mentioned show that is just killer. Arguably the best Typical Situation ever with Bela just tearing it up for over 15 minutes, Minarets w/ Bela, #41 w/ Bela and Coffin, and Ants with Bela. Add in a ten minute Nancies opener, a SMTS > ASTB > TM closer, and a LMP + DIDO encore and you have one fantastic set with some great energy. One of my own favorites. Disc two of the schoeps tape is probably one of the best single discs I own. Check it out if you haven't heard it!

[Gregb486]

great recomendations, thanks

[FPrefect61]

Any new suggestions, Jake? Preferably something with "The Song That Jake Likes" on it. :p
