hey Slip list,
how's it going?  just wanted to rant about one of my favorite recordings - 3/3/01 
Cicero's, St. Louis.

unfortunately, i've only found it in mp3 format, so i've been reluctant to spread it 
around.  another thing is that the recording i have doesn't quite match up with 
SlipBase - i don't have Cumulus on mine (also missing the encore, i think).  
nontheless, it's an awesome show, and i use it often to "break in" Slip newbies.

to save you the trouble of searching through SlipBase, here's SlipBase's set list:
03/03/2001: Cicero's: St. Louis, MO
Set I: Catacea > Invocation > Co-op City, Johnny's Tune, Pictures of Callisto, (Take 
A) Beetle to the Badlands
Set II: The Lucky Dragon, A Crack in the Sundial, Don't Foil the Mohel > Marc jam > 
Afro/French tune tease > Cumulus > Afro/French tune > Cumulus*, Rhythm-a-ning > Dogs 
on Bikes > native american tune tease > Dogs
Encore: Just a Closer Walk with Thee>Funky Chicken tease > Walk
Notes: *Gibson hollow body ]

the whole first set is killer - Co-op city is awesomely rhythm-driven, insane Johnny's 
tune, and a really beautiful Calysto.

i've listened to this show for years, but only recently realized a couple special 
things.  "Torque" is sandwiched inside "Don't Foil" - didn't really know Torque until 
i downloaded it off the website.  pretty awesome.

another sandwich - Jumby is sandwiched inside Dogs on Bikes (i'm guessing denoted by 
"native american tune tease" in the above setlist).  first time i realized that, it 
blew my mind!!!  according to SlipBase, the first time Jumby was played was at 8/3/02 
Bethel Farm (almost a year and a half later!).  i don't know if this one at Cicero's 
would be considered a bona fide Jumby, but damn it's been in
BAM's heads for a long time.

so, it'd be much appreciated if anyone has a FULL version in SHN/WAV format - we could 
set up a trade.  i'd spread that around like wildfire (hope that didn't offend any 
SoCal people).

i myself recently moved to the Bay Area (lucky me - got to catch BAM half a dozen 
times in the last couple months).  just got my CD burner, now i just gotta organize my 
collection.  so be on the lookout for offers to the list (with the list activity the 
way it is, i'm sure you won't have to sift through a crapload of messages).

sweet cans,
Dennis
