Gorge 2004 Labor Day Thread

[marco j]

all i got to say is ...Hello Again!!! my god on sunday i thought the theatre would crumble and fall into the gorge it was so loud and powerful!!!
what a weekend. waaay too many young dumbasses but oh well. it was cool looking at everyone's faces when they cross the top of the hill and see it for the first time.......priceless!!!

[ModestMouse2003]

defintely some sweet shows. Met some cool people, and had a great time. It was worth the 22 hr drive RIGHT after the concert. I dont see how anyone could be dissapointed in the gorge shows, they were money all 3 nights.

[Holemandaddy]

wow, i just got back from traveling and class. saturday and sunday night kicked so much ass. definantly get these shows once they come out.

after not hearing fridays set, saturday was such a surprise to me. i got to hear so many songs that i had not heard yet. LIOG, BOWA, The Stone, the noobs. Outstanding shows.

imo, Saturday night was the best show. Sunday had a slower feel to it with sugar will, cry freedom, lover lay down. even then, they were outstanding songs.

[stimmerman]

Sunday night is up for download:

[mihighdavehead]

Seek Up was a fucking masterpiece

:thumbsup well put :D

I would have to say N2 was my best show this year as well :cool:

[Gonzo]

Just wanted to say I am sorry I didn't make it over to Widhorse to see everyone there.
Getty's was an interesting place, until their bus left us on saturday night. Had to hitchhike a ride back with some very nice girls. Anyway as for my first trip to the gorge what can I say but it was a hell of an experience. I though all 3 nights were great, got the Loving wings I wanted, and got plenty of tofu. I just wish I could have found some fungus. Oh well.

[Crumbo]

:thumbsup well put :D

I would have to say N2 was my best show this year as well :cool:

I was wondering if you were there, I saw your boy bouncing around up there......and throw his Iverson jersey on stage.

[Crumbo]

can't wait to hear Seek Up, TS and DDTW again :cool:

[webbah]

Yeah - I saw that - and Carter got it - that was cool.

[dmbgrl22]

I think I would rather remember the show than get stoned.
Oh i remembered the show..just need to refer back to some things to spark my memory..nice to meet all the ants that i did..and for those of you who i didn't meet..maybe next time or this weekend at GGP!!!

Hey Kim! Glad to hear you had a good time. We went to Vantage on Sunday afternoon but ended up going to a secluded beach area down past Getty's a ways. So - unfortunately didn't get to meet you. Would have loved to but there's always next year. I got a call from Sherene aka Hani Hani (sp?) on my voice mail but didn't get it until Monday morn - a little too late. Have fun at GGP this weekend! Something special is gonna happen. :D

[ModestMouse2003]

:thumbsup :D

can't wait to hear Seek Up, TS and DDTW again :cool:


that fucking DDTW was unreal, i cannot wait to hear that shit again. Fucking awesome.

I was lucky enough to be front row that night, heh. damn that was a good time

[mihighdavehead]

That's right!! Somebody threw a sign up on stage which he folded up and referred to as his "thing".
I know you ;) .......I took your group's picture on the side of the road:cool:

[rapunzelchick]

sorry we didn't get to hang out more....next year I'm hoteling it and tailgating
You were missed in the lot :( but I'm glad you had a good time. Did all of your group get onto their planes on time?

Jamon: Again, way to go on the engagement! Thanks so much for letting us use your grill. I'm glad that Kevin and I got to hang with you. :)

[mihighdavehead]

Thank you.....I had a great time with you and Kevin. Glad you made it back okay :)

[rapunzelchick]

Thank you.....I had a great time with you and Kevin. Glad you made it back okay :)
Even Kevin, who can be, how can I put this delicately, a real ass at times, said he enjoyed himself at the shows. But he said he was especially happy to get to meet you guys and hang. :D

I missed you guys to:(.....next time will be different:)

we all made it to our planes on time....the last group (Me, Stace and April) were very close because we got lost and for me the United computers weren't working :violent

[billies_41]

did anyone hear the person in the crowd during Jem's performance on sunday yell: "Your Stomach is sexy!!"?

[rapunzelchick]

did anyone hear the person in the crowd during Jem's performance on sunday yell: "Your Stomach is sexy!!"?
Nope.
But I did see the "Yes Gorge. No George" sign, which I thought was hysterical.

[Mave Datthews]

i love jem, i wish she was my girlfriend.


anyone know why the hell they're not ending with the Gorge this year and they just have 1 random show to end it at the USANA ampitheatre or whatever? just seems kinda odd - maybe it was a scheduling conflict or something. oh well.

[kas141]

I know you ;) .......I took your group's picture on the side of the road:cool:

It was so cool meeting you!! And thanks for taking our picture, it came out awesome. Hope you had a great time!

[GoldnFear]

Nope.
But I did see the "Yes Gorge. No George" sign, which I thought was hysterical.

<saw it too... but here's the thing... those "seats" are right behind the reserveds but in front og the tiered lawn right. I asked the guy who they were "reserved" for (the sign implied credential required or something along those lines)... he said "people who live within 5 mi of the Gorge"....!!!! Nice bonus for living so close to traffic hell!!

Ok... so people who live in or near George still held up a VERY creative sign!! :lol Yeah yeah I know what they meant. Just thought it was even funnier when ya thought about it that way!

[marhoochia]

Did anyone see the PINK RABBIT on Saturday. LOL.

[kas141]

Did anyone see the PINK RABBIT on Saturday. LOL.
Saw it. WTF was going on there??

[webbah]

Does anyone else have that kind of sickly feeling in their stomach right now - like I still want to be there feeling? I know it will pass but damn - guess I'm still holding out for them to play Proudest :monkey !

[webbah]

:thumbsup :lol :lol :lol

Please expand on the pink rabbit.

[dmbgrl22]

yeah for those of us in the "cheap" seats if youwill saw no rabbit..or maybe i did and don't rememebr...hmmm...anyways yes expand!

[Crumbo]

Please expand on the pink rabbit.

some person was in a pink rabbit suit....apparently he was somewhere in the first 10 rows and the band was having a good laugh

the first I saw of the rabbit was during TS when it came running down the aisle between section B and C....then it started doing this crazy dance in the aisle....then security directed it towards its seat which I guess was in the middle of the row because I couldn't see it any more

I like how you refer to it as "it". Makes it even better. I did see someone wearing a mule head with it's head hanging out the window of their vehicle at the Wildhorse - was very classy. :lol :D

[jester29]

Note to self: Order costume for the gorge next year... at least for one night :)

[Bartender84]

I saw someone with a Scooby Doo costume on Saturday :lol

[dmbgrl22]

Yeah I saw that too...it was hilarious. Was that night 2 or 3??

[Rob D]

I was wondering if you were there, I saw your boy bouncing around up there......and throw his Iverson jersey on stage.
yeah, i was next to him all three nights. the iverson jersey situation topped off the best night of the weekend. did you notice daryl come down and shove a dmb crew sweatshirt into his chest so that his ungodly chest wouldn't be showing any longer?

[Mickey Carson]

Yeah I saw that too...it was hilarious. Was that night 2 or 3??
night 2

[JonTheRvelator]

Who had the "Take Off Your Pants" sign?

[stimmerman]

Did anyone see the sign that said "Poop Happens"?

I think it was night 1.

[phildo41]

just got back to alabama from the gorge.

Unfrickenbelievable. I've heard alot of people talk about the first time to see it, but no one can do it justice. 3 awesome shows, and every song just seemed better cause it was the gorge. Met so many great people, and cant wait till next year.

pictures coming

[ModestMouse2003]

i saw that rabbit dude too. He was like dead center in the front night 2. He got up oin a chair and pulled out his ears, it was a funny site.

[Strugz10]

night 2
That's what I thought...I was sitting Sec. B row 38 that night and all I could see at one point was some dude bouncing around near the front in a pink bunny suit. I lost it.

[bmtoups]

This was my first trip to the Gorge and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I'll travel to the Gorge every year from now on. My friends and I left the Gorge campground at 1:30 am after the show and arrived in SF at 2:30 pm.

I'd like to give a shout out to all my comfort station # 8 neighbors. Hello to DJ Byron & crew, girls from Castro Valley, guys from Reno/Seattle, and Travis, Carter, & Fawn from Colorado.

[dmbgrl22]

its all about the honey buckets in comfort station #1 baby!!! holden it down cali/canadian style(since it seemed that was where all the canadians were). Never met so many canadians in one weekend in my life..it was awesome!

[Thegravedigger]

FINALLY!!!! Just got back and it's nice to be home. We had an amazing weekend up there in Washington! One hell of a time!!! :multi The weather was awesome to us!!! Hope everyone made it back safe. :D :D :D :cool: :)

[snuffles]

Anyone see the girl on night one with the sign that read:

"My pussy's name is Tinsley....meow"

She held it up for Jason Mraz and they seemed to get a big laugh out of it.

[OCMarsh]

Did anyone see the PINK RABBIT on Saturday. LOL.
No, but I saw scooby doo... And I think I saw you. I was in the parking lot with a bud and we see this incredibly hot blonde chick with pig tails walking at us, on the phone. I think to myself, hmmm she looks familiar. Then I hear her say, "It's me, Marcy, I'm in the lot." And I'm like dude it's marhoochia!! I said hi, but you/you're twin was deep in conversation or ignoring me. Oh well:)

[twostepstobliss]

I like how you refer to it as "it". Makes it even better. I did see someone wearing a mule head with it's head hanging out the window of their vehicle at the Wildhorse - was very classy. :lol :D

That same person was doing backflips off a ropeswing at The Vantage Riverfront Resort on Sunday. Great laughs! :lol

[Noles20]

Where is AnyonebutBush????

Has anyone heard from him???

[Bartender84]

Where is AnyonebutBush????

Has anyone heard from him???

Yeah, I figured he'd be back by now. I was hoping to talk to him about the shows during the chat tomorrow. I hope his RV didn't break down on the way back....

I apologize if this has already been posted as this seems the appropriate thread to place it in...

Found a pic of Jason Mraz and Dave from the Gorge this weekend.

http://www.jasonmraz.com/journal.html

I am just assuming it is from this past weekend (logical assumption???). Interesting journal entry too.

Those of you who were fortunate to attend this amazing weekend I envy you. I will definitely have to make that trek to Washington some time soon ( Summer 05 ???).

[bhamm32000]

[ali815]

LoL...I was just going to post the link to that Mraz journal entry!! It's a great picture of them and I think Jason is an amazing writer!!! It was cool to see how he had similar experiences to most of us while at the Gorge...sand and water in the hair and the works.

I must admit that I went to the weekend having only heard Remedy and Sidewalk Prophet, and I had a poppy, flash-in-the-pan perception of Mraz. On Night 1 he blew my mind. On Night 2 we came earlier to take his show in better and he seemed even better (this was the jet night). By Night 3 my expectations were sky high and he still blew me away. This kid has got it.

[PhildoMurph #41]

The Gorge was SWINGING (as Fonz would hopefully say)

Had a great time and made some great memories, and I got to meet Jason Mraz! Along with Ian (DMBPromoGuy)

http://www.iownjoo.com/freeimghost/PhildoMurph/Mraz.jpg

Kick ass weekend, my highlight from all the shows has to be seeing Boyd go off in LIOG from the 7th row, section B (right in front of Dave's mic stand)

[theinstigator]

Once again, DMB at the Gorge delivers a fabulous time. I've been to many DMB shows over the years and many of them have been at the Gorge...but this year was different...it was f@#*$&# unreal!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else out there have the best time of their life???? Just curious, because those three nights just may have changed my life...for the better

[theinstigator]

By the way, I just joined because I met one of the operators of this site in the parking lot of the Gorge...I love my new Boston friends!!!! There's nothing better than cigars and beer in the H/C parking lot!!!!

So now did Mraz camp out??? I don't know why, but to hear that he did would make me respect him to an unbelievable high. And damn you had good seats!!!! :)

Absolutely, man!! This was one of the best weekends of my life!! Forget how we didn't bring wood, a lighter, or chairs, or how our tent blew away in the crazy wind storm, or how our clothes and sleeping bags got soaked when our water cooler tipped over, or how we crammed into a car to sleep, or how we made the long drive home in the middle of the night.....it made the weekend that much funnier! I taught myself how to build a fire (do or die...we needed to cook our food!!!) and we pitched a tent for the first time (though obviously not that well since it did blow away) and of course spent our nights chillin to Jem, Jason, and DMB!!! This was really one of the best overall experiences I've ever had and here's to next year...I'm already anticipating my next trip to the Gorge!!!!

[PhildoMurph #41]

So now did Mraz camp out??? I don't know why, but to hear that he did would make me respect him to an unbelievable high. And damn you had good seats!!!! :) I'm not sure, but I know someone who I could ask (that's how I was able to meet him, I just happened to be camping with one of his groupies at the Wildhorse campgrounds and next thing I knew she was coming back after night 1 to get her stuff and Jason was there to help her out) :lol :lol

[AnyonebutBush]

Where is AnyonebutBush????

Has anyone heard from him??? HEHE HAHA HEHE HAHA ....We had some trouble but we are home again !!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is we are some lucky Fockers ! Chinatown here I come :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

[AnyonebutBush]

Yeah, I figured he'd be back by now. I was hoping to talk to him about the shows during the chat tomorrow. I hope his RV didn't break down on the way back....The second They played Two Step I said Yeah for Vince :bounce :bounce :bounce :bounce

[theinstigator]

Mraz didn't camp out...at least on Sat night...he walked past us in the disabled parking pickup/VIP walk through area.....next to all the tour busses. I gave him a hug; told him he was pretty cool; gave him some advice (which I will keep to myself) and he went right on to one of the enormous tour busses and didn't get off before it left. So if he camped with everyone he must have bailed out of the tour bus at full speed....

[dmbpromoguy]

checking in....... I just got home.......... now its time to catch up on this damn board :)

[dmbpromoguy]

ok fuck that I'm not reading pages 67 to 150 or whatever

[dmbpromoguy]

I'm not sure, but I know someone who I could ask (that's how I was able to meet him, I just happened to be camping with one of his groupies at the Wildhorse campgrounds and next thing I knew she was coming back after night 1 to get her stuff and Jason was there to help her out) :lol :lol
Howdy Phil :)

Yeah....... we were told by the ausie girl (spent friday and sat night with Mraz) that they stayed on the bus at the venue, and Jason left the Gorge a couple songs into DMB's set, Jason finished his set, the stuff came off stage and into the truck then they left right away sunday night.

[bopanic]

i just got home to, lots of stuff to do before work tomorrow. gotta catch up on this thread as well...

was nice meeting some of you, and all i can say is that this weekend was AMAZING and kicked last years gorge trip out the window!!!

WOW...

ill be back on tomorrow! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[Watchtower4207]

I can't say for sure whether Mraz stayed the night in the Gorge Campground, but on Saturday night, Jason, his drummer, and his sound-guy apparently stopped by near my campsite (right by the showers and Comfort Station #10) while I was passed out and chilled out with some of my neighbors (Just my luck!). http://users.wpi.edu/%7Erobsccr/banghead.gif

I too had pre-conceived notions on Mraz and was blown away by his ability. That guy can SCAT! And his voice... it's simply too good. He can hit any note on any range it seems.

Did anyone on these boards happen to run in to the Sober Boaters around the Gorge campsite? Fun jam band. Really friendly guys from Oklahoma - two of them from the band came out to the Gorge for the weekend and they entertained the Gorge campers during concert off-times for most of the weekend.

Also - I had just turned to the guy in front of me and was like "Man... my 2000 mile drive here would be so completely perfect if he played Dancing Nancies" about six seconds before Dave played the opening chords of the song. Absolutely mindblowing.

Can't wait til Gorge '05!

"....spend $2 for a buzz, keep it away from the fuzz, excuse us...!" Davespeak intro to Dancing Nancies@!!@!@!~

[bopanic]

Damnit, seems somebody already beat me with pictures :lol Here's some from Sunday:

THANKS SO MUCH for posting that pic, thats GREAT!!!

Out of curiousity, what did your sign say? That's so awesome though...I was chillin on the lawn then and I thought I saw something fly up there but wasn't sure, so I was a little confused with his "thing" discussion. Haha. I knew I'd get the skinny on here though...lol so great!!!!!

it was just a white poster board with

BOWA

written on it in big black letters, its been to all the shows in my sig, this tour, and ive been lucky with some sweet seats this tour, so dave has been noticing it and acknowledging it at these shows, so on friday night i was on
B-4 with the poster and dave acknowledged it again, so they played it on Saturday (which i was in the lawn) and on sunday during the day i wrote on the back on the poster where i had been making a list of the places the poster had been, i wrote a big THANKS on the back, to let him know i appreciate them bringing that GREAT song back into some rotation this tour.

he walked off with it, so i was SUPER happy, about that one... :D

[Strugz10]

Listening to 9/5 now thanks to Ice and I already can't wait for next year. Dave's poor voice is shot by the end of watchtower.

[Strugz10]

Just re-listened to the butterfly tease and it is at least a minute long for those who are curious.

Ok last post for a little while, but listening to Sugar Will makes me think how amazing Carter is. Just remembering watching him do 3 things at once effortlessly. Wow.

[dwerlin]

I'm listening to 9.5 as well, thanks Ice! I saw that 9.3 and a few 9.4's are now up as well at bt.etree.org. Gonna have to get them when I get home...stupid work!

I realized this past weekend how much I like Butch, and how much I feel he adds to the band...he's amazing.

[rapunzelchick]

FINALLY!!!! Just got back and it's nice to be home. We had an amazing weekend up there in Washington! One hell of a time!!! :multi The weather was awesome to us!!! Hope everyone made it back safe. :D :D :D :cool: :)
Hey! It was awesome to meet you. (N3 - you gave me a show and I gave your friend some tofu.) :D

[asmjm39]

Gorge is an overhyped venue


If you have never been there, that is an uninformed opinion.

YES! Isn't he amazing during that song?! The man just doesn't get tired - I think I'm one of the few that love that song but if people really watch/listen to Carter during that song - they'll appreciate it even more.

:thumbsup I agree 100%. I just totally dig Sugar Will. I love that it's so long and takes the time to highlight the individual talents of the band members. :D It's got a nice groove to dance to. The trippy blue screen and the lights are also cool. :cool:

Meanwhile, I'm still not sold on Crazy-Easy. I mildly enjoy the main verses, but the rest just really doesn't do anything for me.

:lol depends if I really have to go ;)

listening to IIHIA last night brought me back to where I was......walking to the bathroom :lol

[marhoochia]

some person was in a pink rabbit suit....apparently he was somewhere in the first 10 rows and the band was having a good laugh

the first I saw of the rabbit was during TS when it came running down the aisle between section B and C....then it started doing this crazy dance in the aisle....then security directed it towards its seat which I guess was in the middle of the row because I couldn't see it any more

There is a long story behind the pink bunyy dude - but I met him N1 and he gave me a ticket for N2 ... so when I saw him all dressed up in the outfit - I was like WTF is this guy for real? But anyways we started dancing and all then I dragged him up to the lawn to see if I could see any of my friends and we started dancing there - then I was like, lets run through the front row - and the security guard had a big laugh and at first wasn't going to let us go at first - but then the dude recognized me from the night before and let us go. We were about 3rd row when people started tugging at me and calling "JENNA" - which happened to be the people I was next to n1 and they loved me and were like stay here with us.

So ... we were all dancing and i was like, BUNNY stand on the chair and dance all crazy and we both got up there for a bit and Dave and Stefan almost lost it. It was a great time. I guess he does the merchanising for the flip flops and the frisbees and has been freidns with the band for quite some time and pops out in the bunny suit from time to time. So if you saw the bunny dude during the show - u prolly saw me dancing with him.

It was a good good time. LOL.

[marhoochia]

Anyone see the girl on night one with the sign that read:

"My pussy's name is Tinsley....meow"

She held it up for Jason Mraz and they seemed to get a big laugh out of it.

LOL - that was me!!!

LOL!!!

[marhoochia]

No, but I saw scooby doo... And I think I saw you. I was in the parking lot with a bud and we see this incredibly hot blonde chick with pig tails walking at us, on the phone. I think to myself, hmmm she looks familiar. Then I hear her say, "It's me, Marcy, I'm in the lot." And I'm like dude it's marhoochia!! I said hi, but you/you're twin was deep in conversation or ignoring me. Oh well:)

If it was Saturday - I had braided pig tails and a green long sleeved DMB shirt on.

[mattsurfs]

I just got my pix up from the Gorge...

We took a pee break there too...got some water, bought a Drumstick...... :monkey

[watchtwrwildcat]

great fuckin weekend, first time at the Gorge. Heading to Vegas, then San Fran. Hope to see some of you there.....:)

[dwerlin]

LOL - that was me!!!

LOL!!!

Heheh, I saw you! My wife and I were about 7 seats to your right on night 1...B row 4. Cool sign.

[webbah]

Damnit if I'm not still in the midst of a heavy Gorge hangover.

[rapunzelchick]

:thumbsup

:lol So did Kevin.

I try to not have to take any sort of break during a show, but if I absolutely must I usually save it for songs like Satellite, WAYG, etc.

At Gorge, though, I didn't leave my seat once during any of the three shows! My don't-drink-all-day-in-the-lot plan worked!

Hello there Ian - not sure if you remember us stopping by your campsite on Saturday - you seemed pretty busy. I was with Dan Wolf and my wife Carrie. Was glad to see your crew made it.

[Bartender84]

I'm not to the point in my fanhood yet where I take potty breaks during shows. However, I WAS thinking about during IIHIA, it being my 3rd time in 4 shows seeing it.

[dmbpromoguy]

[dmbpromoguy]

Perfect. :thumbsup
I think we had JUST pulled in from our trip to Walmart.... the picture of my friend Sean in the back of my car.......

Anyway I will be back in here on Thursday morning, I'll have a bunch of pictures uploaded (just like everyone else) and I'll also tell the full aussie girl story of how she spent the weekend on the tourbus, backstage and on stage with Mraz. Take it easy ants.

[dmbpromoguy]

Hey did anyone get the yellow gorge poster at the show? My wife wants one...if anyone's willing to part with theirs i'll pay a premium...
On Sunday we tried to buy a poster, they said they sold out on Friday, were supposed to get a supply for every show, but never got any more for eiterh Saturday or Sunday, i was pretty pissed off. I hope there are a few boxes that got left in the musictoday warehouse or something and will be up online in the main store in the coming days/weeks. I wanted my campsite crew to sign it, ah well.....

[webbah]

Did anyone happen to meet the poor kid at the Wildhorse (not LifeForce - for those of you who met him, lol) who said he'd been to every show this year? He had no tent poles for his tent - said he left them in Marysville. He would drive in after each show and ram all of his shit (tent w/o poles, toothpaste, a large brass gong, etc.) further into his campsite. I asked him on Saturday morning what he thought of the Friday night Gorge show and he said it was good but not the best of the tour. So - naturally I asked him what the best one of the tour was and he said Colorado. Now - please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they played in Colorado this summer. Correct?! He also said he was hitting the Mexico shows after SF - which by the way he said there were three in between SF and Farmaid - one in Mazatlan, one in Ixtapa, and one in Mexico City. Now, that I know is wrong. Poor kid - the lies just kept coming - I'll end with him trying to convince me that everyone in the first 10 rows automatically go backstage. I was like "gee, really - and all these shows I've gone to and sat up close - I never knew that". Anyway - I digress.............. :monkey

[sibster]

Marcy (Marhoochia),
I saw you Friday night talking with one of Mraz's band members (while he was on stage) before Jason came on (during the set up). He started pointing toward the sound booth and you ran back there and chatted with the guys in the sound booth for a while. Did they like the sign?

- Rich

[DMB7588]

Note to self: Order costume for the gorge next year... at least for one night :)
Jester:

Hey I see your from NJ...I was wondering if you might have been staying at Getty's Cove with other people from NJ and staying in a rented RV of some sorts? I was there with a couple of my friends and the girls we were hanging out with said other guys from NJ were looking for us. Just thought I would see if it was you. Thanks!!!

[bopanic]

that's Marcy:)

she had another sign for Mraz but I forgot what it said

crumbo well it was nice to meet u in the beer garden before night one!

her mraz sign said
"jason you ooozzz the sex"

her boyd sign obviously said
"my pussy's name is tinsley"

and her carter sign said
"nobody beats it like carter"

she was a fun seat partner, and by the way whoever that asshole is that tried to run off with her stick carter gave her on sunday night should be beat down and shot, that was really low, trying to take a drum stick from a girl. im glad we grabbed u and put you on the ground.

i hope you post here and read this, you drunk ass! :violent

[dubbs41]

ok let me get this straight... someone met Jason Mraz and spent two nights with him??? HOW??? I'm sorry but i'm dying to know. Maybe i am confused cuz i didn't read every single page since the gorge... but I am jealous if I got it right :D

[dubbs41]

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dmblittle_thing41/detail?.dir=/7b60&.dnm=b95d.jpg

Shit. Fuck. Damn. :( That was in the parking lot of the BW. I was out there for quite some time and I knew he was sitting on that bus. Our truck was parked in the row right next to the tour bus. I go inside for literally 12 minutes to change clothes for the show and when I come out everyone is walking back toward the hotel with huge smiles and the bus is taking off. Missed Carter and Butch by literally 20 seconds. :BANG

Maybe i am confused cuz i didn't read every single page since the gorge... but I am jealous if I got it right :D This Aussie girl that Ian (dmbpromoguy) picked up in Seattle to take to The Gorge was staying at youth hostiles throughut the U.S. for about a month. Anyways, to make a long story short, she saw him perform a set in a little coffee shop in San Diego and she was able to speak with him after the show. He gave her his cell phone digits when she said she was going to be at The Gorge and told her to call him when she was there. So she called him and they spent some *quality* time together. :lol She was supposed to camp with us for all 3 nights, but she only ended up camping with us on Sunday night, lol...

:lol I don't expect that you would...I mean, the world's greatest (not to mention jolliest) drummer was separated from you merely by a flimsy bus wall! :D I do though remember meeting the girl who Carter is giving the autograph to in one of your pictures, with the patcwork tank top on. She was waiting for literally hours so I'm glad she finally got to meet him.

[dubbs41]

She was waiting for literally hours so I'm glad she finally got to meet him.

I didn't even expect to meet him actually... I was just at the hotel the day before, because i had seen Daryl at perkins earlier in the day,and he saw me carrying my picture of me and LeRoi when I met him at SPAC. So he suggested that I go to the hotel to have him sign it and he told me what time to go. I went and sure enough he was not there. Daryl kept the picture and told me he'd get Roi to sign it and to come back the next day. Well I came back and he said "are you the girl who gave me the picture?" and I said "Yeah" and he goes "He wouldn't sign it... he wouldn't sign it because you were not there" which sounded like BS to me, but whatever I wasn't going to argue with Daryl!!! So He told me he'd drop it off at the front desk in a half hour, I went back after an hour and it wasn't there. So I waited around outside and there was one bus, i guess it was Stephans bus. He would not come out though, and when he finally did he just jumped off and onto anohter car, he was being lame :confused:

So we just kept walking around and found Carter and Butch's bus and they were super nice and cool and I was so glad to meet them!! Carter was all like "aaaaaw damn!!" when i told him i came all the way from NY to see them on my birthday weekend :lol he's so cute

But I saw Daryl walking out and carrying a bag, and my pic of me and LeRoi was hanging out the top, at this point i was so sick of bugging him that i didn't bother asking for it. But he was clearly bullshitting with me, and I don't know why. I don't care that he has the picture because I have other copies... i just don't know what he wants to do with it :lol

[PhildoMurph #41]

that is amazing... why can't I ever just hang out with a favorite of mine with no problem like that!!! :oWe were pretty jealous that she got to go backstage AND she met Dave for a brief moment while she was back there...yeah, we were kind of jealous to say the least :o

EDIT: we weren't jealous about her spending the night with Mraz, we wanted none of that (as straight males)

we just wanted to be backstage :lol

Watching the sunset behind the mountains these last few days has brought back sweet, sweet memories of the Gorge-ous weekend we just had :cool:

Does anyone have a torrent link for 9/3? I read that it was up already and the bt.etree website is down right now. Thanks. I already have 9/4 and 9/5 :D

[pichtd]

So here are some brief highlights/fucked up stuff that happened this weekend:

--Friday, get to Getty's fine and set up camp. Get in to the venue and stop at the first Honey Bucket row in the venue. Almost up to the fron of the line when two girls push down the fence. One of them is trashed and gets next to the bathrooms and drops her pants right there and lets it loose while her friend holds her up. Someone asks if anyone has a camera and for some reason I pull it out and get a pic.

--After Fridays show we go to catch the bus back to Getty's. There are 40 are so people waiting for it and it is no where to be seen. Finally I start walking around yelling we need a ride to Getty's. Two people walk by, turn around, and say "aren't you camping in the site next to us? We can fit you two". Sweet, ride home.

--Saturday morning standing by the fire at Getty's we look over and some dude walks out of the water fully clothed and holding a guitar. After a few minutes standing with a dazed look he glances at us and says "Shroom swwim". He was pretty fucked up.

--Saturday night we try our luck again on the Getty's bus assuming the kinks were worked out. This time they tell us just follow the ONLY paved road leading into the parking lot. The bus was scheduled to leave at 11 with another one at 12. We leave when Everyday is abou to finish to catch it and find out it left. This time we can't find anyone else trying to catch the bus so we try and see anyone we may know. Midnight is approaching so we figure we'll catch that bus but the road it was to come in on only leads out. We give up on the bus and just start walking not knowing what to do. We come across a couple having car trouble and help them out for 1/2 hour. They are going the opposite way as us but give us a ride back to Getty's. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

--Sunday we are sitting watch Mraz when a camping buddy mentions tonight's setlist is hanging from a camera in the soundboard area. I go to see what song was opening and realize it is Saturday's setlist. I ask one of Mraz's guys if I can take it, he had no idea but said sure. I scored my first setlist.

What a great weekend.

[Bartender84]

On the way there, we saw one of tour busses crossing the Columbia River right next to us. Needless to say, that caused lots of poop jokes

[kabubbies]

even though i only went sunday night, it was an unreal experince out did both of my other shows this year (nissan and merriweather) and 14 row seats did not hurt, "camped" at gorge campground and it was pretty sweet hopefully all three (four??) nights next year depending when they are, great show guys glad i went there from the big ol MD (thats maryland...other side of the country for you non-geoagraphy folks) hella of a show

[marhoochia]

Marcy (Marhoochia),
I saw you Friday night talking with one of Mraz's band members (while he was on stage) before Jason came on (during the set up). He started pointing toward the sound booth and you ran back there and chatted with the guys in the sound booth for a while. Did they like the sign?

O hey whats up ... the guy one the stage is Richie ... he was pointing to Dan ... we all go way back. As for the sign - I don't even think J looked at it - the PUNK.

The one of me and Mraz is funny, my complete lack of expression, I I was still wearing what I had slept in the night before, we were all pretty damn tired.

The yellow arm is me.... falling off my chair while "trying" to hit a balloon back into the crowd, however I missed the ballon, fell of the chair, and snap, theres the picture :)

People can stop e-mailing me to be added to the Gorge list....... I think its time to say goodbye to it

Just flew back in a couple days ago from seattle, what a great weekend!!

My second year at the gorge, best venue I have ever been to hands down. Only problem this year was I caught a cold after the first night :(

Still caught all 3 shows of course, but I think I have OD'd on halls cough drops for the rest of my life. Nothing is worse on a sore throat then singing and dancing your booty off to DMB. While you are doing it you feel fine then afterwards on the long walk back to camp you go, "Oh yeah I am still sick, CRAP!"

Next year I will bring more warm clothes and not stay up till 4 am on the first night using mainly my internal heater from boozin it up to keep warm. Oh well, still a blast :D


Whatever you do, DONT MISS THIS SHOW NEXT YEAR!!!

.....psssttt....sshhhhhh....


....tickets are hard enough to get already. let's keep the gorge as our secret....

[Gonzo]

So here are some brief highlights/fucked up stuff that happened this weekend:

--Friday, get to Getty's fine and set up camp. Get in to the venue and stop at the first Honey Bucket row in the venue. Almost up to the fron of the line when two girls push down the fence. One of them is trashed and gets next to the bathrooms and drops her pants right there and lets it loose while her friend holds her up. Someone asks if anyone has a camera and for some reason I pull it out and get a pic.

--After Fridays show we go to catch the bus back to Getty's. There are 40 are so people waiting for it and it is no where to be seen. Finally I start walking around yelling we need a ride to Getty's. Two people walk by, turn around, and say "aren't you camping in the site next to us? We can fit you two". Sweet, ride home.

--Saturday morning standing by the fire at Getty's we look over and some dude walks out of the water fully clothed and holding a guitar. After a few minutes standing with a dazed look he glances at us and says "Shroom swwim". He was pretty fucked up.

--Saturday night we try our luck again on the Getty's bus assuming the kinks were worked out. This time they tell us just follow the ONLY paved road leading into the parking lot. The bus was scheduled to leave at 11 with another one at 12. We leave when Everyday is abou to finish to catch it and find out it left. This time we can't find anyone else trying to catch the bus so we try and see anyone we may know. Midnight is approaching so we figure we'll catch that bus but the road it was to come in on only leads out. We give up on the bus and just start walking not knowing what to do. We come across a couple having car trouble and help them out for 1/2 hour. They are going the opposite way as us but give us a ride back to Getty's. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

--Sunday we are sitting watch Mraz when a camping buddy mentions tonight's setlist is hanging from a camera in the soundboard area. I go to see what song was opening and realize it is Saturday's setlist. I ask one of Mraz's guys if I can take it, he had no idea but said sure. I scored my first setlist.

What a great weekend.


Yeah screw Getty's, everyone said that was the place to be. First off they said they only reserve 50 spots and the others are first come. Well they actually reserved more like 90, leaving those of us that busted ass to get there early with shitty sites anyway. Then they upped the rates from $20 a day per car to 10 bucks a day per person no matter if it was one car. I also heard they were charging people for the whole weekend even if they got there on saturday. And to top it all off the bus they had almost left us friday night, and did leave us saturday night. Anyone I ever hear again saying Getty's is cool will get their damn head blown off. That place sucks ass.

I think I sat next to you on Sunday. Section C Row 40 Seats 5-6???? If not, the guy sitting next to me had a copy of Saturday's setlist, too!

[ali815]

Yeah Getty's was tough...we camped out on the dirt part. No grass, no picnic table, and we built our own fire pit. (Okay it wasn't rocket science but c'mon). We bolted to Getty's too...and still could not get a regular spot for our lives. And yeah, we paid 150 bucks for 5 of us...2 people only stayed 1 night and 3 of us stayed 2 nights. Plus those gawd awful bathrooms...only 1 stall worked while the other two were consistently flooded. Everyone had to roll up their pants because...well it was just disgusting. LoL...but like I've said before...for Dave, I'd do anything. Sadly, I still feel like it was worth it because looking back, we did have a rough weekend but it was pretty damn funny too. =D

[rastawolf]

Haven't posted since I've been back. Sucks being @ work again. :(
This year was amazing as always, thought I'd share some random thoughts/summary of my weekend. So many good things to remember. Hung out w/ Webbah & his wife a bit. Good people for sure & he had some great tastin cookies to boot. The shows blew my mind, the band just went off, at least in my spaced out mind. ;) Got to see 2/3 of the songs I really wanted. Got Recently & Seek Up but got the shaft on Say Goodbye. Nothing to complain about though.

Hooked up 5th row tix for N1, the day before we left, which turned out to be front row in the end. Absolutely freaking amazing is all I can say. Free-throw shot away from Dave, Leroi, & Stefan. I'll never forget being closer than 19,000+ other fans to one of the greatest bands around. Saw a hilarious sign up front, "Hey Carter, I'm not gay but I really want your stick!" :lol Wound up selling my orig tix for the night to some Canucks for $50 & a beer bong. One of the guys who bought it actually lives about a 1/2 mile from me when he's in school. One of the many absolutely crazy coincidences of the weekend.

Sat in the lawn N2 for a change of pace & it was excellent. From the $8 Coors light grande can I bought in the beer garden to the end of the night hearing 20,000 singing Hani, Hani, it was an excellent day/night. I hope somebody snapped a good pic of that jet coming in b/c it was badass! We were in the beer garden & saw it coming. Just amazing how smoothly it turned b/c it was a huge mother of a jet. It came straight at us, banked one way, flew right overhead & banked the other way over the lawn. I doubt many people even saw it approaching from the lawn/seats. My best friend decided to be "that guy" and actually took a leak right next to me as I was dancing in the lawn(he's not invited back) although it was hilarious to me at the time(prob not the people in front of him).

Back to row 22 for the finale. Great seats & had some hilarious people by us. There was a 7-month pregnant woman in front of us. She left @ one point to go to the bathroom & never returned to her waiting husband. The damn lines were so long I think by the time she got to go, she had to turn around & get in line again. Had a couple of seat jumpers pop up next to us & immediately turn to me w/ offers of the weed. The guy was in such a great mood, he was tryin to share it all night with anyone who wanted some, literally turning to every single person around with a pipe in hand. The 2 guys in front of him were the nerdy type, trying to record songs on their voicemail, & they didn't smoke but he sure as hell tried. Blew smoke right past em all night long & at one point yelled out, "If you can't beat us, join us!" with this huge grin on his face. It was all in fun & it was nice to have a couple people next to us who were just dancin like madmen all night, not to mention free goods all night.

Just a blast, hope everyone had a sick, sick time. Can't wait to hear the recordings & really hope we get to see some DVDs of these shows b/c they were all taped.

Well, off to Frisco tommorrow to see the boys one last time this year, ya'll take care. And if you go back to the Gorge again, remember 2 things: 1) Leave all expectations at home & you'll be greatly rewarded. 2) Don't ever spend $7 on a cup of Pabst in the beer garden, no matter how drunk you are.

That was me, were you to my right in seat 4?

[pichtd]

Oh, and I was lucky at Getty's. We paid $100 for the weekend with our reserved spot. Had a prime spot near the entry in the grass. A huge spot with a great view of the water and great people all around us. We walked down below to "compton" and that scared the shit out of me.

[Thegravedigger]

Jesus!!!!.......... looking back.......what a hell of a time!!! :D :D :) Never saw a Motel 6 so full of music lovers in my life!!! :cool: It's awesome to see that just about everyone had a great time out there this year. Alot of great stories, alot of new friends. Sounds like good stuff to me. :D :thumbsup

[phunky420]

Did you all get the songs you wanted? Just curious what songs some fans wanted to hear or didn't hear?

If I had gone to the 3 day run I would of wanted them to play:
Dreaming Tree
Minarets
Spoon
Last Stop
Halloween
Say Goodbye
You Never Know
So Right
Proudest Monkey
Busted Stuff
Raven

Ohh wow...this looks like my dream set :)

However, they did play some great songs during the gorge run. Its just that they played the same songs they have been playing this whole tour.

[pichtd]

Do you have a copy of the setlist? If so, could you scan it for me and sent it... bakemm1 (at) yahoo (dot) com Thanks!
Will do. I'll get it done Monday if I rememer. Hit me up with a PM to remind me.

[Metallinut]

I think my highlight of all the concerts was on Friday...anyone else see this?

First off, it was my first time trying shrooms [thanks to the dude at Getty's and his excellent chocolate!]

Anyway, the "security" guy on the right side of the stage...heavyset wearing mirrored orange sunglasses fell asleep in his chair. Stefan was even eying him and laughing about it. At some point Dave's bodyguard [can't remember his name now]...big black dude ushers him off, and takes his place. Now this guy DIGS DMB's music. He's over there, bobbin' his head in time, and every once in a while raising his hand to the beat. I kept looking over to him, seeing him getting down and dirty to the tunes. I looked over to him and pointed in a "yeah, this music's awesome" way. He looked back and gave me a thumbs up. Although he may have been looking at someone else [I know Marhoochia was nearby], but it totally made the show that much better for me.

Did anyone else see this guy? He was totally awesome!!!

Every night rocked, but I do think my favorite was Friday. But in the future, PLEASE don't clap with the beat on Loving Wings! This is too beautiful and emotional a song to be clapping too.

'Nuff said.

<was wondering if that was the bodyguard on the side of the stage... and why we was there. I saw him JAMMING (really just head bobbing/smiling/etc) to Jimi Thing's scat!!! I was like YEAH!!! :thumbsup

And I agree... no clapping during Loving Wings! :twak

That would be Daryl - I was checking him out from my row 10 seats on Friday night myself. If you've seen the Gorge DVD - he's on there.

And Dan the Man Rastawolf - thanks for the good times!

Reminds me of two years ago when people clapped during Proudest Monkey. Even worse I have to hear it again on the release. I'm not sure if clapping or the Joyride woo's are worse?

Yeah, Daryl talks on the DVD about how much he LOVES their music...it's a pretty cool clip

I met you for a brief second at Wildhorse, btw Webbah...don't know if you remember me, I was with Ian:)

Ok, first off im not trying to come across as an "ass"...k, now that thats outta the way. As far as im concerned your one lucky fan (as your pictures/stories show.) :)
But you know the whole "Daryl incident YOU had" you said something like "he didnt come through with a promised Autograph"...and all that jazz. Doesnt mean he's a 'badguy' He has a job. I know most would agree some pretty imporatant 'obligations' to meet.
So I guess in conclusion "Promises are meant to be broken"?. dont hate him though, he's just doing what he knows how to do. YES, even though he didnt come through. something must have come up. People cant tend to just one individual...and forget about the 'rest'.

You should've came back though, we had plenty of cold ones waiting for ya...the more the merrier, as they say :cool:

[uofmjess]

My weekend was absolutely the best weekend of my life. The first people we met were from Atlanta! I couldn't believe we go to the other side of the country and the first folks camping next to us are southerners too! Then some Canadians were thrown into the middle of us..three incredible shows...I'm going to the Gorge every year from now on..no questions asked!!!

[AudreyM]

Pretty and tall. How did I miss you?

Well she had no pen so they both got on the bus ! she said it smelled like really good incense !

[jenniferlee]

Hey Ya'll...Had a sweet weekend at The Gorge myself...Met lots of cool people in tent city between comfort stations 7 and 8 (my husband was the roaming guitar player with dreadlocks!!).All Ya'll from Boston, New York and of course Canada rock!! I'm so happy I live so close to the Gorge and will always be back....
PS..met some new cool Oregonions that were Gorge virgins and are now DMB fans forever!!!!:bounce :bounce

[jessamyne]

Quick question...

Looking forward to Gorge '05 and I was wondering if some of you "Gorge Experts" out there could tell me approximately how much it costs to spend the entire weekend there, including camping and just lawn tickets? Any estimate would be great. Gotta know how much to start saving!

[dmbpromoguy]

camping = $30 a night = $90
Lawn tix = ~50 a night = $150
A tank of gas to and from Seattle = $30

[jessamyne]

Thank you! Thank you!

Better start saving now!

-peace :cool:
no you don't sound like an ass at all. But its not that i'm mad that he didn't come through and was busy, its the fact that he didn't tell me that, he just came up with a bunch of bullshit and kept me hanging. Thats what pissed me off. I don't care that he didn't give me my picture back or that he had stuff come up, i have extra pictures and I don't care if he keeps it, but he could have just said "look i'm a busy guy i didn't get a chance, sorry" i woulda had no problem with that.

[OCMarsh]

camping = $30 a night = $90
Lawn tix = ~50 a night = $150
A tank of gas to and from Seattle = $30Holy smokes!! That's frugal.

As I am an old timer I hoteled it, $330 with tax. ($100 a night at a Super 8!!! They raised there price because of some lame rodeo and the holiday) All said and done reserved seats for 3 nights for wife and I cost $520. Food and gas ran about $200. And then the misc. crap. We did not really splurge, but the weekend ran us over $1000. Worth every cent of course, but it can get expensive if you don't watch your wallet.

Edit: Oh, I see the original question was for camping and lawn tix. Word of advice, buy your lawn tix in the lot. You'll pay about $20 for them. And if you're a chick you can probably camp for free!!:D Just find some horny guys and tease them all weekend. You could do the Gorge for $100.

Gotta know how much to start saving!Always plan on spending more money than you think..We live in Oregon and with tickets, camping in tent city, gas and misc. we spent about 1000. Not to bad for 2 people and we are a little loose with our funds so you could probably do it for a little less...

Mraz's show from Saturday is up!!

http://bt.etree.org/index.php?cat=85

[teemu]

Was anyone out there sitting in Section C between rows 12-16 on the final night??

[dmbpromoguy]

Was anyone out there sitting in Section C between rows 12-16 on the final night??I was C 26 seats 1 and 2 on the inside end, not 12-16, but I had a great view of 12-16. Also had a great view of the security guards foot catching on fire around row 20 when the guys with the sparklers were taken down at the beginning of the encore set :)

[dmbpromoguy]

Here was my run down for costs.............

$90 camping split 5 ways = $18

3X reserved 'decent' seats at the end of the day only cost me = $120ish

I cant count gas because I drove about an extra 15 hours out of my way in order to pick up and drop people off at the airport in seattle and 4 people each paid $32 to cover the 'out of the way' fee. But I'd say in the end I was out of pocket, $60 in gas myself.

Campsite food (walmart trip) cost us $10 each for the whole weekend

Bought one 'meal' at the Gorge, was $12

Alcohol set me back $35

DMB sweatshirt was $60

US health insurance was $15

Total cost for the long weekend was $330 USD

Will I do it annualy...... yes

It cost more than a week long trip air and hotel and food at a hotel on the Vegas Strip, but well worth it.

[mihighdavehead]

I was in C - 15...... wearing my Hershey's t-shirt.....sharing joints with my neighbors :D

What was with the obnoxious group of people about 10-15 rows in from the end that were yelling, screaming and shouting the loudest conversations back and forth with one another while DMB was playing "Lover Lay Down"????

:twak :twak

Actually....they were pretty much doing that the entire show.

I'm all about dancin', jammin and havin' a good good time, but not even the herb I was smokin' was enough to help me zone them out while I tried to listen to the tunes DMB was serving up on stage that night.

I saw them Saturday night on the left side...which was also my first time shrooming...I pointed them out to my girlfriend (not knowing who they were) and was like, "Are they groupies?" She apparantly didn't quite hear the question, and was like "What are you talking about." That left me quite a few minutes to contimplate the possibility that I was 'imagining' them. A little worrisome until someone else pointed them out as well. Quite a relieving revelation. They definately seem to dig daddy's music though. Very cool

[Metallinut]

Hey, so did that guy propose during Loving Wings? I heard the "Here Comes the Bride" intro to Roi's solo...that was neat.

[watchtwrwildcat]

first time at the Gorge--damn, what a view. I was not expecting that but it was definetly a pleasant surprise. This venue was way different than any show I've experienced on the East Coast. This was the most mellow crowd I've ever seen...

Night 1 was my favorite, btw.

[GoldnFear]

Some (Bean/Evan, I think) made a joke that we should've all had sticker/name tags on with our avatars or usernames... there were sooo many ants there that I would've liked to have met.
