I think DMB has enough songs written for a double disc. I mean, Fonzie has said the reason #27 is called as such is that it's the 27th song Dave has written in this recent burst.

Matt

[GLR87]

All new songs

A quality producer, that isn't just a name people are throwing out with no real information or insight on that producer

I want the band to put an effort into there music, I know they have so much potential in them, and i think that they were just lazy during the SU sessions

No- Butch, Baritone guitar, Piano based songs- on this album

[Swizz2007]

Can't Stop as an intro to Sugar Will? Gross.

[DMB0715]

No electric guitar, either.

[dmbistheshiznit]

Thumbs up on Lillywhite producing
in addition I second your wish to see Blue Water finally in a studio release. I'd like to see more guest appearances (in the same vane as on BTCS)...this time maybe, Roots, John Mayer, Ziggy Marley, Robert Randolph.
I'd like to see a load of new songs (at least half the album)..and I would love to hear IOY, Falling off the Roof, and Granny make the cut.

Matt

Is this true? Source?

[bibby1044]

Is this true? Source?

He said it in a radio interview and thats why it became #27 since they didnt have a name for it.

[SmoothG]

There's no way it's going to be a double disk.

[nolan8or]

There's no way it's going to be a double disk.

true, but it would be awesome if it were.

[tmorry326]

true, but it would be awesome if it were.

Would Stand Up be awesome if it was a double disc? Stand Up was the most productive (in terms of quantity, not quality) session and they had tons of tunes. A double disc probably would just be extra sucking with a one or two decent tracks, same with "disc 1."

[ShotgunDMB]

Get Daniel Lanois or Steve Lillywhite to produce it and I'm good with whatever they decide to put on it.

I don't really feel like making a whole summary right now, so I'll just say I want Get In Line to open the album. And then in the linear notes I want to see...

Produced by Steve Lillywhite and Dave Matthews Band

Special thanks to: Trey Anastasio for guesting on Sugar Will and to Butch Taylor and Rashawn Ross for not showing up.

[Joyride4136]

i think its funny that no one put boyd as "backup vocals"

im here to say that FONZ should do backup vocals as well

[tmorry326]

Not putting Tim on albums baffles me, almost as much as not wanting Lillywhite and Alagia on the boards.

Replace Butch w/ Herbie himself, and you got quite a tasty album there ;)

[DMB0715]

Am I the only one who hopes Sugar Will isn't on this sucker?

[jaymas9]

Am I the only one who hopes Sugar Will isn't on this sucker?I like Sugar Will, I think the guitar riff was awesome, and the tune had potential to be a dreaming tree, spoon esque studio track. That being said I thought the song was definitely not finished and kind of just meandered along, and needed a little more punch. I listen to it always expecting that Seek Up type of build up and it never comes. Always loved it's potential though.

[DMB0715]

Yeah, I hear that. I don't want it to be on the album if it doesn't have that punch, though. I'll take my chances with something else, in all honesty.
Although I say that, but then I get Stolen Away. Pft. Whatever.

[bubba40]

Replace Butch w/ Herbie himself, and you got quite a tasty album there ;)

Can't disagree with that! :)

[vklugf]

no. i was talking about the previous double album posts in this thread, and i think those would make for good double albums. and i guess im an optimist and think the material theyve been working on is a ton better than stand up so why wouldnt i want to see a double album?

All FIVE musicians on their respective instruments. This does not mean Steffan on guitar, and this does not mean Boyd on mandolin. As long as this is the dream album, put Tim on every song that he wants, put Lillywhite in charge of producing, and make its running time as long as it needs to be.


edit...not to hijack the thread, but to Mistreated: How are you liking the discbox, now its been about 2 months? I finally cracked Go Slowly this week. It was the last one for me to "get."

Long Summer tour to support it (including a 3 night stand at Alpine in early August), then a long winter D&T tour with a 2 night stop at Foellinger Great Hall in the Krannert Performing Arts Center here at U of I :thumbsup :thumbsup

[jhuts612]

Why do half the people on here want Sweet Up and Down to be on the new album? That was on the Lillywhite Sessions, so there is already a studio version of it, and the album unofficially released so you must have it. It doesn't make sense to me to put it on the new album. Same with JTR.

[jhuts612]

Some older songs that haven't been mentioned yet, that I think would be cool to hear in the studio:

Hold Me Down
"Take a Minute" Jam
"Don't Wanna Be" Jam
Jam (untitled) - from Live Trax Vol. 4
People, People

Does anyone think Kenny Chesney has/had a chance at recording the album? Most reviews of Willie Nelson's latest LP has rave reviews of Kenny (includung Willie's praise). I still think that it's an odd coincidence that Dave played at the KC concert last year. It would make more sense if DAve was visiting him to talk about the album and KG talked him into playing a few tunes. Does anyone know why Dave was with him?

Man, I don't care for Kenny Chesney's style at all but if he could get a great album out of this band at this point than LONG LIVE THE CHES! I might even stop making fun of him when I see pictures or videos.

They definately have enough for 2-discs, almost all of which have been played many times on the road which means there is already a great foundation for them, and that's not even including brand new songs, which they have to have on the album. I don't think anybody really wants to see an album with nothing new on it. That would be terrible.

[elconguero]

I pray for Ryan Adams.

i would say yes because of his lyrical ability(could help dave out in times of need) and how he can pump out the QUALITY songs. but i feel he is way too much of a perfectionist sometimes and is known to freak out. may be too high strung for dmb. also, he sometimes has trouble editing his cheesiness. although even his cheesiest moments are nowhere near daves lately.

and i do remember in an interview where he said he met dave and liked him. not what he expected and very funny or something like that.

he would strip the poppiness and and lots of piano, organ and guitar i think.

I just feel like his style, could really help the band make some quality music and get them out of the like you said cheesiness and poppy stage, and we would probably get some nice darker gems that have been missing the past 3 albums.

[webbo_5]

Ryan Adams is excellent. Too bad he is a perfectionist and if DMB can't make things work with Lillywhite, they NEVER could with Ryan.

[matt noga]

I am so sick of you rookie and want to be know it all dmb fans by saying that blue water, get in line, cigerette lit, #36 should be on the new album. were you even listening to dave when these songs were played, or were you older than 12 when they were played. wouldn't you want new songs on a new album, this is why you listen to bootlegs and now live trax's.

DMB snobbery strikes again! I would hardly consider mistreated a "rookie and want to be know it all dmb fan" just because he put #36 and Blue Water on his list. Also, why does it matter if they were listening to Dave, (or older than 12 :confused ) when the songs were played? Great songs are great songs, and I think many people just want to see these tunes in a DMB live setting. Putting them on a new album would certainly increase the chances of that happening.

Holy improper grammar rant, Batman!

I would love Get In Line, obviously reworked, to open the new album.

after listening to crash and btcs completely through... and then listening to standup BLAH... What ever producer they manage to get needs to work these guys hard. One thing I loved about lillywhite was the space he gave each instrument. Tim's Guitar was here (bottom left) Dave's Guitar was here (upper right) boyd and roi were in the middle on the left and right and it just sounds so amazing to hear everything layered so perfectly... They need a producer who can do this... not make cut and paste "club" songs!!

wow. i can't even comprehend that.

i always wished that dmb would finally put all of those great songs they have tucked away on their final albums and blow people away. i think the only way that could happen is if lillywhite came back and produced because he knows the material they have. pull a ryan adams and release your artistic album(love is hell) and then your pop one(rock n roll). i even like the idea of splitting the artistic one into two shorter pieces, again like adams.

[HolyCow]

Just reading through some of these track listings reinforces my thought that this new album will be amazing. I have total confidence in this band.

There are a number of good songs in their unused catalog that they can center an album around. I feel really good about this thing.

[the world]

What I don't get in their haste to officially release more shows with little differences in them, why don't they release some of the studio stuff they have squirreled away? While we're waiting for an album of new material, they could put out the Lillywhite sessions and 2 or 3 EPs - making money from sales, and we'd get new-ish studio material. My proposal would go something like this:

---The Lillywhite Sessions, or "The Summer So Far..."
we all know the track list and producer. Maybe bring him back to finish the mastering or use Stephen Harris.

All times are estimated to the nearest 0 mark.
Producer for EP's: Dave Matthews Band and Stephen Harris.
They could even be available internet only, itunes, etc.

---EP 1: "Old Friends, vol. 1" (30:20)
1 - Get In Line (5:20)
2 - #40 (2:40)
3 - Blue Water (6:30)
4 - True Reflections (dmb version) (4:40)
5 - Loving Wings -> (7:30)
6 - Granny (3:40)

---EP 2: "Old Friends, vol. 2" (29:10)
1 - Butterfly (2:00)
2 - Crazy-Easy (4:40)
3 - Hello Again [extended jam edit] (5:20)
4 - Good Good Time -> (5:10)
5 - Joy Ride [alternate mix] (3:40)
6 - Sugar Will (8:20)

---EP 3: "Old Friends, vol. 3" (29:20)
1 - Can't Stop (3:40)
2 - The Idea of You (4:10)
3 - Shotgun intro (3:30)
4 - Shotgun (4:20)
5 - Kill The King (3:50)
6 - Sister (3:10)
7 - Break Free (6:40)

---EP 4: "Old Friends, vol. 4" (29:10)
1 - #27 (4:10)
2 - A Dream So Real (4:40)
3 - Falling Off The Roof (4:00)
4 - Cornbread (4:30)
5 - Eh Hee (full band mix) (4:20)
6 - All Along The Watchtower (full band studio mix) (7:30)

---NEW ALBUM
11 - 14 new songs
producer: Roger Waters
engineer: Stephen Harris
guests: Butch Taylor (90%), Rashawn Ross (90%), Tim Reynolds (1/3), Xavier Rudd (2 tracks), Bela Fleck (2 tracks), Warren Haynes (1/3), Robert Randolph (1 track)


that would put out 47 - 50 new tracks out for us in a short amount of time with a minimal amount of record time for the band. Old Friends 4 and the new album would be really all there was to truly start from scratch in recording as far as we know. everything else has studio tape of. It would just take a little bit of mastering and very little rerecording.

Plus all the excess from the stand up sessions. Granted they are probably more in the form of song ideas and riffs than fully fleshed out songs, but there would be lots to work with. I want new material as bad as most of you, but I want something. Even if it's old material. Hell, if they releases a mastered version of the Ardent sessions I'd buy that happily just for something fresh.

[Norman Smiley]

I agree with the notion that putting old songs like BWBF and #36 and #40 is ridiculous -- as bad as putting a studio Granny out.

I love these songs, but they should stay live songs.

I also think that Loving wings would be butchered in the studio.

However, I think that a reworked Get in line would be amazing for this album but I do not see it even as a remote possibility.

[AFurth]

Musicians - The original DMB plus butch and tim. Maybe Xavier Rudd or Bela (the best albums have had good collaboraters)

Producer - Anyone with a jazz background who will guide the band, but not push them in any one direction

Songs - Good ones.

I would cry

that looks pretty good, I think Id rather a new song over Cornbread though, it just doesnt seem like it fits the rest of the songs.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't want IOY or SUAD on the new album....more so IOY than SUAD.

[DMBraven41]

Someone said it earlier, but Monkey Man would be sweet to hear....I know many people "Have it" already on the Lillywhite Sessions, but why not add it in there. It would help bring the album away from poppyness at least, in my opinion anyway. Also, just wondering, anyone know why Monkey Man hasn't been played live? or has it?

It hasnt been played live. It could possibly be a cool idea but as far as we know it could have evolved and be something different than what we previously heard...someday we'll find out.

why do people put old tracks on their prediction album tracklistings? everyone knows the pre-2004 songs won't make it (with the exception of loving wings & sweet up and down), i'm talkin old songs aka blue water baboon farm, #36, spotlight, etc...it doesnt make sense

[CapnHani06]

I've done this several times now, but I would absolutely love this:

Crazy-Easy: great opener "BOWA/BS" feel
Sugar Will: great 2nd song "Two Step" feel
Idea of You: No Crash, but I still feel it as a good 3rd song/single spot
#27: I just like this positioning...flows well
Cornbread: Another single? But 5th is great as it begins the second half of the album
Eh Hee: 6th is money. I'd really like it if this had a DDTW-feel to it in the studio, when in which case a #4 would be acceptable
JTR: Please? 7th just grabs me for this tune...bari-heavy.
New Song: Good place for it...perhaps a slow, unique one like ADSR, just not ADSR, maybe even on the new soprano 12?
Sweet Up and Down: HUGE single potential. 8th also jumps out at me for SUAD, not quite sure why. Once again...please?
New Song: Dark Bartender/Warehouse Intro from this past year...remember this? I would like to it become real and be made into a song. Or maybe "Gas into Fire"?
Shotgun: Ohhhh man, second to last to just about cap off a brillant album...powerful, thoughtful, refreshing.
Loving Wings: Next Proudest Monkey...lots of Roi soprano-action, sweet jam (total song time right around 8 minutes)

thoughts? concerns? i'm sure i'd a mix the order a bit or sub a few out for newer, better songs, but as long as it opened with CE and closed with LW i'd be more than happy.

[zachyd]

You know better that this. Stop dreaming and be realistic

:lol

I know, I know, but the thread title is "ideal" album. So thats just what I did.

One can dream...

[Bartender84]

I could be realistic here, but fuck it, I'm going all out :bounce

[Malaguy]

well we all know that Dave, Carter, Fonz, LeRoi, & Boyd will be playing on it, that's a given.

Special Guests (on SOME tracks):
Tim (i love Tim, but even he wasn't on all BTCS tracks)
Butch
Rashawn
Bela
Robert Randolph

Producer: Jon Brion (we all know Lillywhite is a pipedream)

I'm not making a track listing, but you can bet it will have a mixture of old and new songs. The songs we already know:

Shotgun
Idea of You
Cornbread
#27
& the rest all new songs.

we all know Loving Wings is never going to be on an album (thankfully), and Blue Water/#36/Granny/#40 hopes may be well intended, but they will never make it. (Nevermind the fact that #36 is defunct).

if i was gonna make my "no-chance-in-hell-but-a-man-can-hope-can't-he?" picks, I'd go with Good Good Time, JTR, Sweet Up & Down, Crazy-Easy. ALLTHOUGH, with the recent re-introduction of JTR and SUAD into the setlists, it may not be completely hopeless.

which brings me back to the beginning:

Shotgun
#27
Idea of You
Cornbread - will all make it, but expect all the rest to be new songs.

[boogienights]

I see alot of people putting up alot of unreleased gems, no HELP MYSELF. GET IN LINE. I too would like to see sugar will, suad, JTR. Im not a big fan of IDEA OF YOU, probably because of live trax "Fenway" when they piped in the aud applause. The lines to the leaker where mobbed, but then the place went apeshit shit when the yplayed Caroline, which is unnoticeable on recording.

[VanHorneDog]

all of you are picky bastard... well almost all of you. :lol

[webbo_5]

If Eh Hee is on this album it better not sound anything like that shitty single that was released.

Tim Reynolds on all tracks would be excellent.

The band taking their time and actually working hard would also be great.

[CapnHani06]

tonight, no joke, i finished listening to the studio proudest monkey and i went to go turn on the studio loving wings next when i realized...well, you know what's wrong with the picture.

my point here is i want one, and badly...that's really my only real request from this album (apart from it being good and worth the wait).

[fallbackagain40]

^^ yeah that would be huge. Although, I think I want a studio Sugar Will even more.
