Sadly missed N1 of Alpine.

Just not a big fan of the song. It was a piss break though and I had to go so it worked out.

i would pick steady as we go instead of stolen away if i had to choose a song from that album in that slot


looks like a pretty good show though

Had a great time. Show #6 for me and it was the best yet. Carter just gets better everytime I see him. Perfect ending to a great summer! Can't wait for next year!!

This was a GREAT show! Perfect way to round out my DMB summer. Heard Two Step open up in St. Louis, had a blast front row in Memphis, and now a great show in Dallas ended with Two Step.

number 5 for me. pnp--rapunzel is the perfect opener if you ask me. i kinda dug stolen away honestly. the sunset thing in the back was pretty cool. i dig the guitar part. money was pretty awesome. jimi was awesome with tim's added solo at the end. water wine was greatness. the bridge is so fun now and i had a feeling we'd get halloween out of it. i feel kinda spoiled tons of DMB fans have been going for years and have never seen halloween but i saw it twice this week. two step closer was epic. carter beauford is rediculous. it gets better each show....they take my mind...blow it...and then give it back

First show of this tour (sadly) but could not have been more disappointed. Show was phenomenal from Jimi on (one of best Halloween I've heard), but the 90 minutes before that was way too low key. Actually wandered up to the lawn for a bit, only to find everyone just sitting down listening. 2 stars at best.

Funny how perspectives can be so different. I thought this was one of the best shows I've seen (it was #22 for me). Road tripped from Memphis so was so pleased it was such a good show with only a few rain drops to tease us. I loved the set start to finish and the band is just really solid this tour. It was my 3rd, and sadly last, of this summer tour. Saw them N1 in Saratoga Springs then Memphis before this show. Maybe it's an age thing, I'm 38 so I guess I enjoy the more mellow songs these days. The only thing that could have been better for me would have been a better seat - ended up in the lawn with the friends I went with which was fun. But I much prefer closer to the stage (who wouldn't?). I had a seat in 205 but it was row mm far left and really wasn't any better than the lawn. I'm definitley looking forward to this show making circulation!

this was a bottom tier show for me, that was only because my previous 19 shows have been at the Gorge, Alpine or D&T haha

I thought they played a fantastic set. Wasn't the best on paper, but they had a ton of energy and were really up for it.

The Halloween was fantastic and will have to listen to the tape to determine if it was better than Alpine, but they sounded on fire last night.

Overall, a solid show from top to bottom and was so happy to be in Dallas for it

The guys really tore it up last night. Great vocals on PNP--R. I'd always wanted to hear PM, even though it's kinda low energy. And then Satellite is not my fav, but the vocals on it were better than I'd ever heard. Dave puts so much emotion into it. I love all of the variations in melody (I guess that's what you call it) that he does. SDL was phenomenal. One of the best songs of the summer. Eh Hee and CB rock, and my wifes digs them, so that was cool!

What's up with Water/Wine? After hearing about it here, I was pretty excited to get it last night, but was kind of let down. Maybe I just couldn't hear it that well, but it seemed like it didn't really go anywhere. I'll have to check it out on the tapes.

YMDT ended awesome. Jimmy with Timmy tearing it up--great version, Bonus Track release-worthy!

ASTB--TM fake--Halloween!!! jumping up and down, screaming "HALLOWEEN" to my wife, who's like, "Oh, I know this song."

to Ants, to Stay, great energy, crowd was into it.

SH was cool, but TS was fantastic!!! This was my first TS. Phenomenal.

The downers for me were SAO55&3 and W/W. I kinda liked ODH and I really liked LLD. Sweet set. These guys get better and better.

And huge props to Jim Coffin. He tore it up! Plus he's really animated and fun to watch.

This was only my 3rd show, so I don't know if I'm worthy to rank them, but I would give it a 4 out of 5 firedancers.

I was actually thinking during this show that I missed LeRoi. Now, for sure, I miss LeRoi.

Jimi: My least favorite song... still not that bad

I'm sorry you feel this way. JT was the highlight of my night.

And I thought the covers were fantastic. But I think that's an example of how good these guys are...we have completely different highlights from the show, but we both went away with a great experience.

I have always hated Jimi.

Did like the sitting back and letting crowd sing though.

My last show with LeRoi was SPAC N1. I was fortunate enough to get 4th row orchestra for this show directly in front of LeRoi and Rashawn. Memphis was my first show w/o LeRoi and I had that exact feeling - I really missed him and it felt weird. Dallas was a great show and being the 2nd one I saw w/o LeRoi was a little more comfortable seeing Jeff fill in. But if I only knew...

I am new to posting because it feels a strangely disconnected way of communicating for me personally. But seeing everyone's posts the past few days has really hit home how this type of forum can really bring people together. My heart aches and my eyes cry for a beautiful person I will never get to meet but whose heart has deeply touched us all.

this show was the best show i've seen them since my first show (9-25-00). i think mainly because of the energy, and the number of songs they played. there were hardly any breaks like their usually are. they went straight through playing song after song. they had played 13 songs by the 1.5 hr mark. it definitely was weird without leroi and now, i'm very sad he wasn't there. jeff did a great job filling in, and tim was flipping amazing as usual.

i was a little suprised though. boyd looked bored the entire time. he only had like 1-2 solos. they knew it too cause they doubled his ants solo at the end of the set.

i loved the set. the only thing that would've made it better for me (i'm being selfish now) was to hear "idea of you" or "sugar will."

loved every second though. pure awesome-ness
