The "hoax" thing is a bad joke that originated on the rec.music.gdead usenet group a few years ago. The reason there's no notation about this joke is probably that most people don't consider it to be even worth commenting on. As more & more folks seem to actually be falling for the joke, it may be a good idea to add something in the comments section debunking the rumors.   ----Scott   ----- Original Message ----- From: Ciciora/Cahill To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2003 12:28 PM Subject: 5/8/77 Hi you probably get a lot of mail like this but I'm forced to ask this by a skeptical friend. What's the scoop on the hoax chatter surrounding this show? Is it purely generated by the combo of being label 'greatest show ever' and the oddities in the recording?  I found it interesting that my friend seems to be locked into what sounds like an urban legend yet you have nothing odd to say in you comments - clinical as usual. I took that as a good sign.
