Floyd certainly change the expression "When pigs fly...." I caught 6 concerts, mostly in Europe and they were diffently awesome. One of my favorite concerts was Bob Dylan's only German concert, on Jul 1, 1978, at Nurnburg's Zeppenlinfeld. This is a place that Nazi propoganda video would show Hitler giving speeches from a huge concrete monolith to massive formations. It still stands and Dylan played opposite it with a laser show bouncing off it. It was an all day affair with Clapton, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Vince Weber and Lake. To hear "Masters of War" and "It's Alright Maw, I'm only bleeding" with Clapton on lead was jsut incredible. I've seen Dylan before in concert, but on this day he was in rare and top form, bellowing out those nasal lyrics crisply and succinctly. I don't think the significants of the place or the irony escape him as he specified the venue. As I recall, it was the first time a concert was held there. Then there is Canada's own....Neil Young.

Now isn't this amazing. all the buzz and chatter about the dominance of CDMA 2000 and Lucent has three standards in demo form. Tsk, tsk. Dave, better get Nortel on the stick sport, instead of posting rock n' roll favs on SI! ;-) Monday October 4, 5:31 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Lucent Technologies Lucent Completes Calls Over Wideband Radio Platform Designed to Evolve TDMA to Third-Generation (3G) Services Live Debut at World Telecom '99 MURRAY HILL, N.J., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU - news) today announced the successful completion of the first call on a prototype wideband radio platform designed to help network operators dramatically increase the call-carrying capacity and data speeds of digital wireless networks which use the Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) format. The Flexent© Wideband Radio prototype will be publicly displayed for the first time at the Lucent Technologies Stand at World Telecom '99, Oct. 10-18 in Geneva, Switzerland. (Hall 1, Stand 4021) Developed by Bell Laboratories, Lucent's research and development arm, the Wideband Radio Platform is designed to preserve investments made by TDMA operators while enabling them to gracefully evolve to third generation (3G) wireless services. The platform is both evolutionary and revolutionary because it offers operators the flexibility to use software controls for dedicating any part of their licensed spectrum for standard TDMA 30 kHz voice channels or to higher-capacity 200 kHz channels for high-speed data services. The 200 kHz channel structure is consistent with the Global Platform for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital standard. This next generation basestation will preserve service providers' current investments in the IS-136 TDMA standard technology, but also has the ability to support EDGE, an emerging standard for high speed packet data that will be common to both TDMA and GSM networks. EDGE technology, or Enhanced Data rates through Global Evolution, is envisioned as a common high bit-rate Platform that will afford GSM and TDMA users the ability to send and receive wireless data at nominal rates of at least 384 kilobits per second. ``The TDMA Flexent Wideband Radio Platform provides unprecedented voice capacity and high speed packet data capabilities in a single basestation' noted Mary Chan, Lucent's TDMA product realization vice president. ``This is consistent with our commitment to help network operators gain greater efficiencies from their investments in all of Lucent's 2G network platforms as they prepare for 3G services.' The TDMA Wideband Radio prototype will be displayed alongside other 3G systems under development by Lucent -- including prototypes which employ two formats of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) established for Global 3G CDMA networks. Lucent was first to announce projects with customers on four continents to develop 3G Platforms that are compatible with the major 2G technologies the company supplies today -- TDMA, CDMA and GSM. Lucent Technologies supplies mobile and fixed wireless communications systems that offer global service providers standards-based solutions for serving the information needs of consumers and enterprises. Headquartered in Murray Hill, N.J., Lucent designs, builds and delivers a wide range of public and private networks, communications systems and software, data networking systems, business telephone systems and microelectronic components. Bell Labs is the research and development arm for the company. For more information on Lucent Technologies, visit the company's web site at lucent.com. SOURCE: Lucent Technologies
