**Dave and Tim Washington DC 5.20.10

[RiotAct]

also, Eh Hee was very good, surprisingly -- at least musically.

[JohnnyTsunami]

When you have something insightful to say feel free to quote me again, but if you are going to throw one liners out that tell us nothing then don't bother. Im sorry also were you there last night because I didn't read a review from you.

And to answer your reply, I can't say thats the reason he plays them, only Dave knows. He likes them obviously. He also loves Sweet Up and Down too, but that one came back briefly and then left the sets. But again asking for a song that he is going to play anyway is a wasted request in my opinion. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion and thats mine. And to further my point as much as we all love to think us hard core fans are the dominant portion of the fan base, the smart ones of us here know thats not the case, we just wish is were true. I can site so many example over the years of hearing people ask Dave for songs that he was playing every night that tour. This may also be part of the reason why we see the Sister, Cornbread, Too Much, released over and over on different cd's.

Ive never seen a bad show, and I will keep seeing shows as long as they play them. I will always appreciate what they give us but also will ALWAYS hope for the best possible scenario!

Great post. Exactly how I feel.

[jerrygarcia50]

I can't believe all of the complaints about last night's show. I was 12th row and I felt it was just great. So they didn't play your song. Tough! Dave was as funny as ever, both of them played extremely well and donated their time for a great cause. If you felt you were "ripped off" because it wasn't the setlist of your dreams, stay home.

It's just crazy. I don't post that much, but i've read this stuff for a long time. Some people are just spoiled. On a consistent basis, You're not going to find better music. Some dude posted a huge list of shows and bands he's either seen or is going to see, like that makes him an authority that trumps all dissenting opinion. I've been to half the shows on that list plus over 100 Grateful Dead concerts. These guys - no matter which combination of them is playing, pretty much blow everyone away.

Stop complaining.

[RiotAct]

Stop complaining.


Finally, SOMEONE in this thread has the presence of mind to tell people to stop complaining!!! Thank you man.

[crashtower]

Can we stop the complaining about people complaining already

[dreamgirl31]

i'm still on a concert high from last night... haters can't take that away.

dancing nancies blew me away as always.

Crush was awesome as well.

[couldihvbeen]

I said on the drive up, "I could go without DTTW, SDL, and Bartender," didn't think I would get all three in one night, by the way not sure if anyone hass said this but how can we have a Jane Goodall Benefit concert and not have one of the following played?: Shake Me Like a Monkey, Proudest Monkey or Song That Jane Likes.......COME ON!!!!!

I was wondering where you were when I was talking to Kayla & co. in the poster line! :lol

I figured you two would be attached at the hip

[lainied]

Crush was awesome as well.

I just posted a video of Crush from last night on YouTube. I'll have more to come under user name Rachmaninoff02.

[Maggie]

So Damn Lucky



Not sure if people appreciate when I raise up the 2010 LOVE sign :-/

We saw you! The crowd around me was a little lame...well the crowd that lined up in the aisle anyway. Our section had to stand because of all the creepers! :rolleyes

AND, in case you were curious, the couple with the same seats as us had fake tickets. Apparently there were a lot of fakes. They were told to leave.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in DC!

If that setlist was an example of what we have coming in the next few months, it's going to be a long summer.

If I had a boat, anyone??

ohhh okay... it's not your fault, I went to my seats to roll my posters up in a place where people wouldn't trample all over them, then ended up talking to Matt and Megan for a good while (basically until Dave and Jane came on).

And I would sell you my extra, but I already promised a local guy who I bought another print off of that I'd pick one up for him. Sorry! :o

Likewise! Keep in touch! Are you on facebook?

[RiotAct]

i appreciate the thought, i'm close to start whoring myself out for one haha we'll see how it goes. i'm determined.

I'd have to think you should be able to find one close to face value on the WH boards or eBay if you're willing to wait a few months.

[joshizzle3]

lol the original setlist showed up on almanac... was that a typo? double encore planned- the first was just like it was- sister, cornbread, ddtw. the second encore was a single song encore of.... gravedigger :ugh

Im thinking maybe if they did the double encore they would open with gravedigger and play another song after of dave's choosing.. probably Ants since that little boy requested it

[RiotAct]

oh yeah, Dave didn't say a word about the hiatus next year, which I found sort of surprising.

[4041]

i appreciate the thought, i'm close to start whoring myself out for one haha we'll see how it goes. i'm determined.

Well if that is the case Ali, you know I have the poster you seek, and if you are good I will throw in the 6-28-08 poster as well. ;)

[JohnnyTsunami]

Why does that surprise you? I didnt expect him to mention it at all. I highly doubt he even thought about that the entire night

[Deadman23]

I agree. I bet he doesn't mention anything until the last leg of the summer tour. There really isn't anything they need to say about it now. They announced it, and they have the next 4 months to be on tour for this year.

[RiotAct]

well I dunno, it's sort of the 2,000-lb. gorilla (no pun intended :p) in the room... it would be nice if he said something to ease peoples' fears that the break will be for more than 1 year.

[JohnnyTsunami]

A MESSAGE TO OUR FANS
http://images.musictoday.com/stores/images/spacer.gif
As we feel the excitement building for this summer, we wanted to let everyone know that after twenty years of consecutive touring, Dave Matthews Band will be taking 2011 off. We feel lucky that our tours are a part of so many people's lives, and wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible. We're excited to make this summer one of our best tours yet, and look forward to returning to the road in 2012.

[4041]

Any tapes popped up yet? PM me plzz


Nope. I was in section B, Row J. When I scanned the crowd, I did not see any taper stands but I am sure they were there. Anyway, remember the 2 week rule.

the taper from the soundboard should have his recording out soon once he catches up on his sleep. i know he started the conversion last night.

[DMBzilla]

Not much to say here that hasn't been said, but a couple thoughts...

I’ll start by saying that I can now understand, though don’t totally agree with, what a lot of the Vegas attendees felt when they talked about how the setlists didn’t matter because just being able to see Dave and Tim is so special in and of itself. For me, Dave and Tim shows always feel like once in a lifetime experiences, because they happen so infrequently (with just 26 North American shows since 2004, including festival appearances with short sets). This was also the first time I'd ever been up front for a D&T show, and those memories will not soon be forgotten.

All that being said, I just feel like the setlist gripes are for the most part justified. The songs were all extremely well played, but the show was seriously lacking in the classic tunes that most in attendance seemed to want to hear. Tunes like Crush, Dancing Nancies, DDTW and Ants easily got the biggest ovations from the crowd, yet songs of those caliber were few and far between. The lack of anything from Crash is simply inexcusable, especially when those songs came at the cost of yet another Sister, Corn Bread and Rye Whiskey.

At the end of the day, it was a pretty awesome experience and I'm really glad to have been there, but I think this show reflected a ton on Dave's current state of mind regarding his music and shows, and that reflection wasn't at all what I think most of us here want.

yeah, i cant stand how people get upset when folks disagree with a setlist. get with the real world.

dancing nancies blew me away as always. :thumbsup We were all very fortunate and lucky to even get into that show!

[4 Yawkey Way]

As one who has 3 sisters and is the father of 3 girls, I'll never get tired of hearing Sister. Loved it the first time I heard it, and still loved hearing it on Thursday

[dmbphan07]

I saw one up in the front section of ORCH off to the left of the stage and I heard there was another by the soundboard

I was sitting 3 seats over from this taper. i would imagine it comes out soon.

I couldn't have said it any better myself. Of course i had a great time seeing d+t especially since it was my first show but like you said those songs (crush, ants, nancies, etc) definitely had the best ovation. that should tell you something dave!

[pats4life2003]

[TBolts712]

Set was off a bit but it was my first D&T show, the venue was great, there only 3,000 or so people there, and I had a blast. Do I wish I heard other songs? Sure. However, my only expectation was to have a great time. Objective met. :thumbsup

looks like the tape will be up either later tonight or tomorrow.

[10-31]

I was disappointed with the lack of monkey jokes in between songs. The one recurrent joke, the metaphine 7 or whatever it was, was alright :-X to say the least


I hope the setlist does not foreshadow the upcoming tour. It was a good show, and even though they played alot of repeats, it was decent to hear some new songs acoustically.

Save me and needle made it though. I was really hoping for some rare tunes though . . . . like monkey man and dodo.

And whoever was at xchange that I was talking to . .. . i def called the either bartender or ddtw intro. . . .

[pats4life2003]

^not too tough to call hahaha

[4041]

lol at people backing up this setlist


The fact that Ants was not even on the actual setlist and we were supposed to get Gravedigger as the final song is disturbing. Not that I do not like Gravedigger, however I dont want to see it as a last song at a show. While I had a great time at the show being there, seeing friends before and after the show, I can only think of what could have been. I can only think how it appears Dave just mailed this one in. His voice? Perfect, him wanting to mix up the set and give us something stellar? No chance. Besides Needle and the Damage Done, the set was pretty much predictible. Again not saying it sounded like crap, just that Dave's song selection is not like the past where he would keep you guessing what was coming next. With a larger catalog to choose from now, he seems comfortable picking from a select group of core songs that the majority of his fan base are tired of. And how could not one song make it off of the Crash album? Without taking any of the BWATGGK songs off the list, if the bolded songs below were swapped for the songs played in those positions, I think there would have been very little bitching over the set list as you have a good mix between new and old songs.


Bartender
Crush
Funny the Way It Is
Lying in the Hands of God

Old Dirt Hill (Bring That Beat Back) (Seek Up)

Put up some video's last night. I guess putting things on youtube makes them seem less clear in the audio and visual department.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaLvVw0X39I

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssSSNJXdSF4

A bit shaky at the beginning. I wasn't looking at the camera often, since I had the show right in front of me.

I'm surprised at the setlist complaints. I can't think of a single song I didn't like at the show.

If this is hated so much, is it worth putting up other videos?

So you're complaining that I Did It, Hunger for the Great Light, and Dreamgirl aren't played enough?

If they played half of those songs, the people here would scream, cry and bitch.

[Sleepr56]

I thought the show itself was incredible. The crowd I thought was pretty full of tight asses, but it is DC. I was hoping for more out of the setlist, but its a benefit, not a D&T tour.


Not sure why everyoen is bitching so much about this show. I am happy I was able to go!! :thumbsup

Not a single person in the two rows in front of me or from what I could see behind me moved, say, or seemed to be enjoying the show. Just got a pretty lame vibe from my section I guess. Sorry :shrug

is this site legit?

[Mateo2k]

Not a single person in the two rows in front of me or from what I could see behind me moved, say, or seemed to be enjoying the show. Just got a pretty lame vibe from my section I guess. Sorry :shrug

To me, that's respectful. I don't want a bunch of hooting and hollering, and jumping up and down dancing. It's a D&T acoustic show. Sit down, stay quiet and enjoy.

No. I'm gonna dance in my seat, scream and clap at the end of songs, AND enjoy myself! Half the people there didn't even blink or crack a smile! It's not like it was a library for crying out loud! :lol

Well, you're the guy I can't stand at D&T shows. I'd rather not have jerks screaming.

But to each their own.

Did anyone take a picture of Dave's glam rock face and picture face by chance?

I never said I wanted hooting and hollering. The people around me didn't even look like they cared to be there, but it was for a good cause, good for them. I just felt weird clapping after all by myself in the row, haha.

I have been to a shit ton of concerts in my day, and I have to say that crowd around tops the list of lame crowds :lol My 2 cents, whether or not you like it, or were sitting next to me.

[jas230314]

this. i had a good time, but the set was disasterous.

i cant stand people who eat up everything this band does.

I was there, and it was my first Dave and Tim show. And it was my girlfriends second Dave show (after one last summer). She said the one song she really did not like was ... cornbread. She never heard it before and said the lyrics sounded like a joke, but no one was laughing.

I found that the first 4 tunes.. bartender, crush, funny, lying in the hands... felt like a different show. It was more exciting, a good mix of tunes, and basically after that little run, it was song after song of thinking 'okay, when are the older tunes going to come out?'.

It was a great show, I cant deny that. However, the crowds applause made it clear. Ants, Crush, Nancies all got HUGE ovations. Some Devil tunes and Big Whiskey tunes really just kind of got old - though hearing them in that environment was great.

All in all, it was a good show. Set? Frankly, predictable and boring if you ask me.

Were you sitting to the right of the stage 4 rows up in section B singing off key the entire show?

[crashintonickdm]

the tape sounds good, and the good songs were good. the davespeak was just as funny now as it was then.

tagging these tracks is heartbreaking. the middle of this show is abysmal. the neil young cover is really good even though i wish he'd relax with his obsession coming out at his live show. we know you love neil, quit playing his songs every year.

[Pennstar413]

Was that the lady who had security come talk to her. She screamed the whole night . It was bad, I know I can't sing but she was brutal.......

Nope. I don't sing along to songs. I said I danced in my seat and cheered when a song began and ended. If thats annoying to people, then that's their problem.

Her husband never opened his mouth. She really thought Dave was listening to her . It was funny for sure.

nothing during this show was good enough to stand up and be obnoxious.

Matt was embarrased to be sitting next to me.

If this is hated so much, is it worth putting up other videos?

I encourage you to keep posting :) Good Stuff.

2-3 rows back but I was closer to center so my view was fine.
People to my righ. Weren't so lucky / happy tho.
Oh well.

Again my wife and I really enjoyed our third Dave and tim and I would happily pay again to see this show.

Hope everyone enjoys hearing the show!

it was my first dave and tim show too. i was once told regardless of the set, the show will rank in your top 10. this show is probably bottom 10 out of 41.

[Lparsonshq]

that is because you are an idiot. who does not appreciate good music when it hits you in the face.

[lainied]

I've been following this thread and have held back thus far but now here are some thoughts:

For those of you like myself who are dismayed by the negative comments about the show, rest assured that means that none of those complainers on this thread will buy D & T tickets again, freeing up more of those rare tickets for the rest of us.

The DC show was probably my 8th or so time seeing Dave and Tim and I am always happy with their shows regardless of the setlist because I know that what they choose to play is what they feel passionate about at the time - or just play well together which makes for good synergy, good Davespeak, and a good show. I have seen a wide range of songs played over the years by them. Just to have the opportunity to see them live is a rarity, so focusing on them playing rare songs or certain songs that DMB play well seems a bit selfish or just ignorant of the beauty of the two acoustic guitars together, and the way they might change up the tunes and take them into different places.

I asked Dave to play "Sister" because my sister and I flew across the country to see them together and I knew that if they played it they would play it with passion. I thought about asking for Long Black Veil or a #40 tease, but leaving DC having heard that song sitting next to my sister just meant more. As a musician I think that singing or playing a song without passion is difficult, so I'm happy with whatever they choose to play and hope that they keep playing together for many years to come!

[Jigga9JayZ]

^^good post...

but i'd say you are wrong about one thing...the haters will most certainly go again and expect a "rare" show again, be let down, then come back pissed all over again....thats the way these people work :lol

Definitely good looking out!!! I stayed up all night to drive the LoVE sign from Nashville to DC only to get there minutes after they sold out. Totally thought I was gonna be stuck paying $100 or more. Awesome!!!

I couldn't find it either. Dave speak was hillarious in that show :lol

[crashintonickdm]

nice story.

you probably didnt need to ask for it to be played though....

[crashintonickdm]

that is because you are an idiot. who does not appreciate good music when it hits you in the face.

i appreciated the 5 or 6 great songs that were played. the rest i wouldnt care if they were retired forever.

[pats4life2003]

my friend said if he plays sister in the encore...............we're leaving.

we left

[JohnnyTsunami]

my friend said if he plays sister in the encore...............we're leaving.

Morons. :twak

I cant stand people that leave early or before the encore at regular shows.. but at a D&T show? :freak

I dont like sister or cornbread as much as the next person, but still.

[crashintonickdm]

my friend said if he plays sister in the encore...............we're leaving.

:lol:lol:lol

DDTW and ants were great man, you missed out if you truly did leave.

[crashintonickdm]

needle and the damage done is pretty stellar. i must say.

[pats4life2003]

i stayed til ddtw. then dipped when ants started.

with a setlist as shitty as that, damn right I'm leaving.

That's like a couple of summers ago. I left every encore when thank you for lettin me came out

Whatever man, but I really dont have respect for people that care more about leaving the lots early than the band they paid money to see

[Sleepr56]

to each their own.

I have never left a dmb show early but have left other shows early :shrug

[pats4life2003]

i don't care about leaving the lots early. I just don't want to hear sister and ants marching hahaha.

that hurts that I don't have respect from a wvu student :lol

thats right cause were all classless drunk hillbillies I forgot.

All I was saying is I'd rather have someone in the seats that are gonna stay and appreciate the whole show, especially a D&T show. There was tons of people devastated from getting fake tix and some people cant even stay that whole show, its just sad.

Not saying there isnt. But ive been there for 2 years and on my entire floor freshman year there was 1 West Virginian... my group of close friends consists of 0 west virginians and thats talking about 20+ people. The stereotype just drives me insane, even tho there is exceptions.

Theres more out of state students that go to WVU than in state... but we do like to have a good time :D

Anybody get a poster from this show? They look amazing but are going for a ton on Ebay. Disgusting. Are they full sized posters or like the ones made for the D and T Europe tour. I have Amsterdam, but its kind of boring compared to this one.

i got one off warehouse when they went on sale...i was 2 rows back in line when they sold the last one at the venue.

i have a feeling they will drop in price over time...so be patient.


i have also heard that people on expressobeans/daveposters are bidding on each others posters to drive the average resale value up so they can keep selling them for more...dunno how true this is, but would not doubt it considering the dudes who go in and get 3 posters at a time just to flip them :violent

[04calcondon]

from http://cmcondon.blogspot.com

Did you go to a Dave Matthews Band show this year? Maybe it was more then one? Well I would love to hear from you!

The idea is to put together a fan book, where every show of 2010 is covered. 200-750 words (not a strict limit, just so we can fit all the accounts in the book) about your experience. Include what you did for tailgating, or post show if you want. Let us know why the show was special to you, or maybe why it fell a little short. Funny things that happened to you, people you met, your favorite song, the biggest surprise.. etc. If you have pictures with yourself in there, or just great shots of the band, feel free to include it.

The format idea:

The chapters will be each show. The chapter will start with the show name, a picture of the venue or the band playing at the venue and a setlist. Following that will be the fan accounts and a page or three of pictures from each show.
Include your age if you would like to show the eclectic crowd DMB has. Include the amount of shows you have been to, and what show number that particular account is referring to.

If we can get this going, my goal is to get every show of 2010, bind it and send it to anybody who sent me their stories and then start spreading the word that it exist. Maybe someday it will reach the band. Thanks.
