tease... crap, that doesn't count does it?
Yes, it cost me at Hershey!

[Mickey Carson]

Shit missed Ants by 1 spot

[AnyonebutBush]

Teases should be noted NOT COUNTED....

[Strugz10]

Ants nice

[gravedigger2424]

So is that gonna be closer you think?10 30

[AnyonebutBush]

Ants 3 nights in a row ... i dont know whats cazier , them playing it again or all of you that picked it tonight

[Noles20]

10/18/2

[Mickey Carson]

11/18/1

[greppson]

well, tease counts as a spot... so that means that i am now 11/18/0

[Strugz10]

so that should be the set, right?

[AnyonebutBush]

10/18/210/18/1

[Noles20]

Teases should be noted NOT COUNTED....

I agree. Only full songs should count

[Bartender84]

Ants 3 nights in a row ... i dont know whats cazier , them playing it again or all of you that picked it tonight

Actually, it's 4 nights. And I'm not complaining, because it's Ants :thumbsup

[Mickey Carson]

So is that gonna be closer you think?10 30
Band hasn't even started playing Ants yet...still on Joy Ride.

[dmbfan524]

wonder what the tease was? ants to finish.....again

[AnyonebutBush]

Actually, it's 4 nights. And I'm not complaining, because it's Ants :thumbsup Im just shocked

[Noles20]

I have as an encore:
Everyday
Billies

What about everyone else?

[dmbfan524]

stay...need it bad

[Mickey Carson]

I have as an encore:
Everyday
Billies

What about everyone else?
WWYS
PNP-->
Rapunzel

[greppson]

wonder what the tease was? ants to finish.....again
prelude... see hershey 2004, camden 01.

[Bartender84]

I have as an encore:
Everyday
Billies

What about everyone else?

SMTS -> Rapunzel

[AnyonebutBush]

stay...need it bad:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

[gravedigger2424]

Band hasn't even started playing Ants yet...still on Joy Ride.IC....How do you know this ???:confused:

[greppson]

well, now my spots are all screwed, but if they play smts > rapunzel, i won't do too bad..

but my original guess was billies/stay.

[Bartender84]

I really hope Tease doesn't count on the Ants game. Because if it doesn't, and the encore is SMTS -> ASTB -> PNP -> Rapunzel, I get 4 spots!

[dmbfan524]

pretty long show tonight

[Mickey Carson]

IC....How do you know this ???:confused:
Well they just started...dmband road page puts up the songs shortly after they've begun playing.

And typically the WH setlist is 1 song ahead...so when DMB started playing Ants, they put up "Encore".

[greppson]

I really hope Tease doesn't count on the Ants game. Because if it doesn't, and the encore is SMTS -> ASTB -> PNP -> Rapunzel, I get 4 spots!
it does count as a spot.

[Bartender84]

pretty long show tonight

Every show recently has been long :thumbsup

[Bartender84]

it does count as a spot.

:violent :violent :violent

[AnyonebutBush]

Grace is Gone
Stay

[Noles20]

we have a line

[Mickey Carson]

Main set = 2 hrs. 10 mins. long

About average lately.

[Strugz10]

I hope it's not a SMTS->ASTB->PNP->Rapunzel encore...I feel like that's cheating out of an encore for some reason.

[AnyonebutBush]

we have a linesnort it

[gravedigger2424]

Well they just started...dmband road page puts up the songs shortly after they've begun playing.

And typically the WH setlist is 1 song ahead...so when DMB started playing Ants, they put up "Encore".alright got it :D

[Bartender84]

I hope it's not a SMTS->ASTB->PNP->Rapunzel encore...I feel like that's cheating out of an encore for some reason.

Why? It's two songs

[Strugz10]

Why? It's two songs
I don't know I just feel like they should mix it up more...as a set closer fine, but it's too predictable as an encore once they start with SMTS.

[AnyonebutBush]

Encore

#41 and thats it

[^MaLaKaS^]

Ok....I"ll be the one to say SMTS ---> LIOG for the encore :lol :lol

Someone's got to say it, but I still think one day we will get #41 --> Say Goodbye. I don't know....but it's just musical bliss.

[gravedigger2424]

Encore

#41 and thats itWe all have dreams:thumbsup

[Bartender84]

Whoa, Stay as first encore. Interesting

[Mickey Carson]

stay

[scoot_14]

Stay, could be a one song encore...or this could be epic.

[Strugz10]

Whoa, Stay as first encore. Interesting
Very interesting.

[raven rr]

1 song encore???


or stay
and
billies?

[AnyonebutBush]

11/18/2 ... that tease helped me out after all .... if they dont play another then i got my closer

[greppson]

i bet billies will close it out.

12/19/0

[Benny003]

Why exactly does Tease count when Intros don't? They are both listed on the main page, so why does one count and the other doesn't? Neither one are actual songs so why should they count as a spot?

[gravedigger2424]

Whats next yall?

[Noles20]

11/19/2 Now I don't know what to pick as an opener tomorrow night.

[greppson]

tease IS a song, played at camden in 01.

[AnyonebutBush]

11/18/2 ... that tease helped me out after all .... if they dont play another then i got my closer11/19/2

[dmbfan524]

sure hope stay isnt an only encore

[Bartender84]

Stay, could be a one song encore...or this could be epic.

It seems too early for a one song encore. It'll only be about 10:48 once they get back on stage, more than enough time for another song. I'm calling Billies

[Mickey Carson]

Why exactly does Tease count when Intros don't? They are both listed on the main page, so why does one count and the other doesn't? Neither one are actual songs so why should they count as a spot?
Just the way the setlist game here has always worked

[AnyonebutBush]

11/19/2 Now I don't know what to pick as an opener tomorrow night. we are even steven

[scoot_14]

Why exactly does Tease count when Intros don't? They are both listed on the main page, so why does one count and the other doesn't? Neither one are actual songs so why should they count as a spot?

Because intros are part of the song that follows it (and thus would not be a seperate track or anything on a cd), but teases are sepereat songs entirely.

[dmbfan524]

tease IS a song, played at camden in 01.


im guessing tease is prelude? if so..it was also played at hershey

[Noles20]

11/19/2
What was your second spot?

[AnyonebutBush]

What was your second spot? Stay

[scoot_14]

It seems too early for a one song encore. It'll only be about 10:48 once they get back on stage, more than enough time for another song. I'm calling Billies

They may have a curfew at 11

[Strugz10]

I am still feeling a chance for WYA or Watchtower.

[AnyonebutBush]

What was your second spot? Stay i had it as my closer at #19

[LilMango777]

come on billies....

[AnyonebutBush]

What was your second spot? Stay , I had it as my closer at #19

[Noles20]

stay is gone..

[Mickey Carson]

stay disappears

[AnyonebutBush]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkk

[Strugz10]

now it's Billes

[scoot_14]

I am still feeling a chance for WYA or Watchtower.

My guess is if anything follows Stay it will be Watchtower.

[Noles20]

Billies, a third spot!!!!

[scoot_14]

What the hell?

[Noles20]

11/19/3 Come on 1 song encore!

[Bartender84]

They may have a curfew at 11

So? They would still have time for two

[raven rr]

fuck!!!!

if it was stay then billies i would have had the last 2 spots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnyonebutBush]

11/19/1 that fuckin crack head gave me a headache

[Bartender84]

Yep, set guy's on major crack tonight

[Mickey Carson]

They must be diverging wildly from the setlist then

[Noles20]

11/19/1 that fuckin crack head gave me a headache

I'm feeling for you. I have been there before.

[Benny003]

Because intros are part of the song that follows it (and thus would not be a seperate track or anything on a cd), but teases are sepereat songs entirely.

Fair enough, but what song is tease? It's not, if it isn't actually a song then why should it count? It could be a tease of one of a hundred songs. Sorry to be confrontational about the subject but it just doesn't make a ton of sense. I'll drop it after this, I just wanted to get some thoughts out on it.

[AnyonebutBush]

Do you get mopre points for the right spot or an encore song

[greppson]

billies now... sweet.

[Mickey Carson]

Do you get mopre points for the right spot or an encore song

6 pts. for the right spot
6 pts. for the encore closer
10 pts. for the encore closer in the right spot

[dmbfan524]

BILLIES!! if thats true...i got the closer right

[Bartender84]

If it's the same as 7/10, than it is a song, it's Prelude

[AnyonebutBush]

I better see Stay pop up

[Strugz10]

I'm all for these longer sets and I can't leave sad with a one song encore.

[AnyonebutBush]

6 pts. for the right spot
6 pts. for the encore closer
10 pts. for the encore closer in the right spotI get to get to know the rules

[greppson]

they aren't necessarily longer, because they haven't been coming on at 8:05, they've been coming on closer to 8:30.

[Bartender84]

Encore break seemed shorter tonight, they're already back on stage

[Noles20]

I'm all for these longer sets and I can't leave sad with a one song encore.

:thumbsup Especially since Billies is my closer.

[dmbfan524]

so call it a night or another encore?

[Noles20]

so call it a night or another encore?

Hard to tell right now.

[greppson]

i don't think billies is it.

[AnyonebutBush]

I think thats all

[Mickey Carson]

i don't think billies is it.
That'd be a pretty short set if that was the case...they usually don't play a 1-song encore unless they have to.

[AnyonebutBush]

i don't think billies is it. I hope not

[greppson]

it's only 10:47... there is PLENTY of time for another song. if they didn't, i'd be surprised.

[LilMango777]

come on they have plenty of time to do another....

[dmbfan524]

for once i would prefer if billies closed the show..need those 6 points

[Bartender84]

I think thats all

Why would they when they still have time for another? They've only done one song encores when they're running out of time, they have more than enough for one more

[Strugz10]

they aren't necessarily longer, because they haven't been coming on at 8:05, they've been coming on closer to 8:30.
Well at the Columbus shows they came out around 8:10-8:15 and on 6/24 they played until 11:00 so I thought that was a pretty long set, hence the 1 song encore.

[Noles20]

for once i would prefer if billies closed the show..need those 6 points

:thumbsup

[raven rr]

I'm all for these longer sets and I can't leave sad with a one song encore.

we had the 1 song encore at polaris night 2.
i don't know about you but i left a very very happy man!

[scoot_14]

Why would they when they still have time for another? They've only done one song encores when they're running out of time, they have more than enough for one more

Tommorow's also a travel day (with a show at night), they may want to get out early.

[AnyonebutBush]

Why would they when they still have time for another? They've only done one song encores when they're running out of time, they have more than enough for one more your right I didnt realize the time until after i posted ,,, im still shooked over replacing stay

[Rockyall107]

yea the shows over

[LilMango777]

as of right now is billies #19?

[Noles20]

Why would they when they still have time for another? They've only done one song encores when they're running out of time, they have more than enough for one more

Do we know for sure that they are on stage yet?

[AnyonebutBush]

:thumbsup You got enough , Let me get my Stay and then you could leave ...

[Strugz10]

we had the 1 song encore at polaris night 2.
i don't know about you but i left a very very happy man!
Yeah I was extremely happy...highlight for me probably was the Recently and Jimi back to back.

[grandmaaggie]

there will be another song and it will be STAY

[Bartender84]

Do we know for sure that they are on stage yet?

They came on stage 5 minutes ago, because that's when the Road Page posted Billies

[Mickey Carson]

They were obviously planning a Stay/Billies encore...short set but I think Scott's on the right track with the traveling thing.

[Strugz10]

and suspense sinks in....

[AnyonebutBush]

there will be another song and it will be STAY I like you

[dmbfan524]

billies looks like its it.....

[Mickey Carson]

I'm 1 song short right now...hopefully they'll break out another song so I don't lose 3 pts.

[Noles20]

I will be at the show tomorrow night. I will be wondering how I did on my picks during the night.

[Strugz10]

I wouldn't be surprized if there are a few shows this year with a one song encore.

[LilMango777]

i hope they are done...cause that would mean 10 points for me....

-justin-

[grandmaaggie]

I'm 1 song short right now...hopefully they'll break out another song so I don't lose 3 pts.
ditto

[AnyonebutBush]

I never got a one song encore,,and I dont ever want one , no matter what they play I would always expect 2 songs in the end !!!!!!!

[scoot_14]

It would be nice if they put up a "show end time" or something so we knew it was over.

[AnyonebutBush]

I will be at the show tomorrow night. I will be wondering how I did on my picks during the night. post it tonight or tommorow

[Bartender84]

If there's time for one more, they should fucking play one more

[Noles20]

I never got a one song encore,,and I dont ever want one , no matter what they play I would always expect 2 songs in the end !!!!!!!

I have had two. Herhsey the last 2 years.

[Noles20]

post it tonight or tommorow

I'll put them up before I leave.

[Strugz10]

I never got a one song encore,,and I dont ever want one , no matter what they play I would always expect 2 songs in the end !!!!!!!
What if it was IDI and WYA as opposed to just a Two Step?

[AnyonebutBush]

good night

[Strugz10]

Halloween!!!





sorry couldn't resist.

[AnyonebutBush]

What if it was IDI and WYA as opposed to just a Two Step? Its just in my brain to expect two songs , so when they come to the end of two step , i would be thinking about what they will play next , not the lights coming on

[raven rr]

<======== Bitter!

I will be at the show tomorrow night. I will be wondering how I did on my picks during the night.

i'm so jealous!
i wish my douch-wash teacher didn't reschedule my final exam for tomorrow night, or else i'd be right there with ya!

[AnyonebutBush]

stayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Strugz10]

Its just in my brain to expect two songs , so when they come to the end of two step , i would be thinking about what they will play next , not the lights coming on
I understand, but things could be a lot worse than just a Billies encore.

[AnyonebutBush]

Well it was up a little while ago :( :( :( :(

[tyler1389]

We know one thing:

SMTS..>
PNP..>
Rapunzel

will close tomorrow

[greppson]

or open....

[Noles20]

<======== Bitter!



i'm so jealous!

Sorry. If its any consolation, I missed a ton of shows during undergrad and grad school for similar reasons, or because school used all of my money.

[Mickey Carson]

that or Stay or Everyday

[Strugz10]

so the final count for tonight is 18 songs (minus the intro's and interlude)

[raven rr]

We know one thing:

i'm thinking set closer.... not encore closer.

[Noles20]

I have 19, counting the tease.

[Strugz10]

I have 19, counting the tease.
Yeah forgot to include the tease.

[Noles20]

I finished 12/19/3 with the closer as one of the spots. Good night for me!

[Strugz10]

Well I think it's safe to say that's the show.

[Bartender84]

OK, so I was a little harsh there. Just don't see why they would stop when they have time for one more. Still a great set though :thumbsup see y'all tommorow

[Strugz10]

Yep, I'm out too...nice show.

[scoot_14]

Anyone know anyone who went? I'd like some info on the tease...some confirmation of what it was would be nice to hear.

[greppson]

i'm going to guess it was the same "tease" they played at hershey, which is prelude... see the new song thread, i've got it there.

[yin_yang]

^

nice, so close to 25,000

[BustedJeff]

i'm going to guess it was the same "tease" they played at hershey, which is prelude... see the new song thread, i've got it there.

Maybe not. There were some "teases" at Mansfield too. The setlist guy has no idea what he's doing.

I'm more curious if this interlude was Heartbeat as well.

[texasdmblvr]

Anyone know anyone who went? I'd like some info on the tease...some confirmation of what it was would be nice to hear.
dobyblue, brockboi, brahmabull, halloween21 just to name a few..
:D

I'm more curious if this interlude was Heartbeat as well.
but that was consider new tune, not tease specifically on the setlist page.

[BustedJeff]

but that was consider new tune, not tease specifically on the setlist page.

We will have to wait for a report, I guess.

[WaterInTheSky]

solid show... guess we know whats coming when tripping billies pops up as first encore song

Well - I started out hot then fizzled - definitely my best picks of the tour so far but still only 36th place - not bad for me though. :D

[DMBhockey32]

wow...what an amazing show under the tent tonight...simply unbelieveable....i cant believe they played the song that jane likes....Crazy!!! well cant wait for next year..WHOOOOOOOOO

[somedevil22]

I am confused why they only played one encore song when they were walking off the stage it was still 10 to 11pm (if there was even an 11 o clock curfew). O yea by the way great show.

[somedevil22]

[Bartender84]

The 7/10 Interlude doesn't sound very much like Heartbeat to me

[dobyblue]

Wow what a shame this thread was cool for a while and then 20+ pages get hijacked by setlist freaks.
:D
j/k
Just got in the door from Darien. Sec 305 row 8 seats 9&10
Great performance, great company, great roller coasters.
will post a piccie of BrahmaBull and myself on Viper after hitting the scanner. I am back in canada. No doubt there is still people trying to get out of Darien. ha ha!

[dobyblue]

Encore tease tonight (if you can call it that) was Fonzi playing three notes of Cry Freedom, then Dave started playing Billies.

[dobyblue]

I don't care what the Warehouse has posted - that was not Heartbeat.

[brockboi]

whats up...in now as well.
i saw that it was posted as heartbeat...kinda surprised to read that!
solid show again tonight. great versions of pig, too much, joy ride, and Ants. i just wish (since this is my 4th show in 2 weeks) that they would mix up the set lists a bit more.
another great show as burkey said with great company. sorry for the other ants that we didn't get to meet. someone forgot their celly cell!!!!
and i'm still pissed i didn't get in on that pic!!! night everyone

[Joe M.]

Jake will be giving final word on what he wants to call it. Hopfully this morning.

[greels1]

Awesome show.... i had a great time... i heard that darien was a shitty place to see dave... but i didnt mind it at all... pretty good show overall... the one song encore kinda messed me up though... was expecting 2 songs... but oh well

[dmbpgh]

I just got back in Ithaca...
Got out of the parking lot @ Darien pretty fast (15 min).
I have to say after going to the majority of my shows @ Post Gazette (Starlake) Amp I was pleasantly surprised that the venue was not a complete disaster like some had made it out to be.

This being the only show of the tour that I am attending, I really enjoyed it. The improv jam / heartbeat thing was especially interesting, since I had no idea what the hell it was, but it great fun to watch and listen.

Highlights:
DDTW (even though its about the 3rd time I've seen it open)
Don't Burn the Pig - great energy
Crush - the jam at the end, which I don't think I have heard live before
STJL - never heard it before live :-)
Hello Again - incredible jams at the end
Space Between - Surprisingly powerful, showed off Dave's voice, good ED choice (people can disagree but I was surprised)
Joy Ride - the crowd was really into this one, the fireworks only helped!


Lots of Leroi solos tonight... it was great to see that he's getting a chance to work out his chops.

Also, the crowd was pretty good as well. Some people made it sound like the place would be full of hooligans on the board, and even a fellow WH member in front of me warned me about people standing up on their chairs during the show. Noone really stood up on their chairs at least in my line of sight. Honestly, the crowd was pretty respectful, and not horribly annoying... everyone was respectful of most of the slower / less familiar stuff, and I could really focus on what the band was doing. I've definetely seen worse at Starlake :-)

OK, I have class tomorrow @ noon and I'm probably incoherent. Can't wait to download the show, and until next summer when I will probably be in Boston...

[joey8301]

all and all a great show. got to hear the 5 new songs on top of the song that jane likes and pig. the only negative to this show was the one song encore. but i figured once i heard tripping billies as the closer that would be it.

also as a side note last year at this time i was still in the parking lot unmoved more than 3 feet. but this year i wisend up and sucked up paying the 5$ parking to get out at a reasonable hour. i live a straight drive 1 and a half hours away from darian lake. and tonight i got home before 1AM and that included t-shirt shoping. so the 5$ or divided 3 ways was money welll spent.

[danielle_dmb5]

I just got in as well... had 16th row seats tonight and I had a great time. Darien Lake usaully isn't my favorite venue of the summer but it wasn't bad at all tongiht... great setlist and everything, couldn't ahve asked for more!

[unccrombie]

Encore tease tonight (if you can call it that) was Fonzi playing three notes of Cry Freedom, then Dave started playing Billies.
there was also a tease before joy ride. a non dmb song, dave was playin on guitar. i couldnt think of it at the time, and still cant. it was really familiar though. any help?

[unccrombie]

lemme brake it down for ya'll

Intro (sounded real cool, i've never heard it before)

Don’t Drink the Water - took the crowd to such a high energy level right off the bat, i never get sick of hearing it.

Don’t Burn The Pig - woohoo! real crowd pleaser

One Sweet World - again, crowd enjoyed it, got everyone groovin

Intro - dave solo

New Song #3 - picked the energy right back up, short solo by carter, i sitll think it should go into say goodbye.

Bass Intro - saw it comming

Crush - best. crush. ive. seen. ever

Song That Jane Likes - crowd pleaser, kept the energy flowing

New Song #4 - bomb! god i hate this song. thank god for roi's solo

Too Much - i dont care what people say. this song simply dominates. there was too much energy for this song tonight. i could have lost eardrums from the energy, sweet jesus! so awesome

Recently - pretty girl outro, rockin

Interlude - didn't catch it... :lol

Rhyme & Reason - i like it, some dont. crowd enjoyed it at least in my section.

Hmm ? [New] - sitter down song for my section, better for me. nice rendition

The Space Between - we got 1 electric song in 3 shows. im glad it was this one. everyone enjoyed it, and so did i. shots of the feris wheel at the end

New Song #1 - eh, it was ok, crowd wasn't really feeling it

Warehouse - wooooooooooo! everyone was jumpin for this one. even security was dancing with the crowd

What Would You Say - keep it flowing...wow! everyone got into it, amazing energy.

[Tease] - this sounded like a non dmb song, very familiar. it was dave solo for 30 seconds or so...the song was on the tip of my tounge

New Song #2 - before joy ride people had the ants snare into "clap" going, except on the back of our chairs. they stop for a minute, talk, carter smilies and recognizes what we are doing. then they go into joyride and tear the roof off. joyride ends on a snare drum outro.

Ants Marching - can you say holy shit? crowd wanted this all night, the place errupted and continued through the encore break

Tripping Billies - there was a cry freedom tease by fonzi before this band came back on at 10:35, ended at 10:43ish. decent version, liked spac's better good ending though. i couldnt have tolerated stay or rapunzel, glad it was one song and billies. should have been cry freedom and billies though :)

also to RYAN, did yo uget the pick dave threw out? or the second one he handed down?

[BustedJeff]

The 7/10 Interlude doesn't sound very much like Heartbeat to me

Well it sounds like it to me, so nya.

[Rippy]

lemme brake it down for ya'll

Crush - best. crush. ive. seen. ever

Song That Jane Likes - crowd pleaser, kept the energy flowing

New Song #4 - bomb! god i hate this song. thank god for roi's solo

Too Much - i dont care what people say. this song simply dominates. there was too much energy for this song tonight. i could have lost eardrums from the energy, sweet jesus! so awesome

Recently - pretty girl outro, rockin

Interlude - didn't catch it... :lol

Rhyme & Reason - i like it, some dont. crowd enjoyed it at least in my section.

Hmm ? [New] - sitter down song for my section, better for me. nice rendition

The Space Between - we got 1 electric song in 3 shows. im glad it was this one. everyone enjoyed it, and so did i. shots of the feris wheel at the end

New Song #1 - eh, it was ok, crowd wasn't really feeling it

Warehouse - wooooooooooo! everyone was jumpin for this one. even security was dancing with the crowd

What Would You Say - keep it flowing...wow! everyone got into it, amazing energy.

[Tease] - this sounded like a non dmb song, very familiar. it was dave solo for 30 seconds or so...the song was on the tip of my tounge

New Song #2 - before joy ride people had the ants snare into "clap" going, except on the back of our chairs. they stop for a minute, talk, carter smilies and recognizes what we are doing. then they go into joyride and tear the roof off. joyride ends on a snare drum outro.

Ants Marching - can you say holy shit? crowd wanted this all night, the place errupted and continued through the encore break

Tripping Billies - there was a cry freedom tease by fonzi before this band came back on at 10:35, ended at 10:43ish. decent version, liked spac's better good ending though. i couldnt have tolerated stay or rapunzel, glad it was one song and billies. should have been cry freedom and billies though :)

also to RYAN, did yo uget the pick dave threw out? or the second one he handed down?

were you wearing a gray shirt and sitting in the second seat of your row?? I think I was like 8 rows behind you only on the end in 202

[unccrombie]

were you wearing a gray shirt and sitting in the second seat of your row?? I think I was like 8 rows behind you only on the end in 202
yup that was me

[Rippy]

yup that was me


ahh thought so from the pics you posted before.

[Rippy]

with the end of Darien marks the end of my 2004 DMB tour. how sad.

[chris917]

don't forget that we got the beginning of the bluegrass jam in recently. it was hot.

[unccrombie]

don't forget that we got the beginning of the bluegrass jam in recently. it was hot.
been in there all year

[chris917]

been in there all year


wasnt played at spac night 1

[chris917]

from the road page:

"They also threw in a couple parts during Recently that were reminiscent of the way they played the song ten years ago"

aka - bluegrass jam

[halloween21]

jsut got back and wow...I was totally surprised by the energy at darein tonight....I thought it was gonna be mellow like last year but man did they tear the roof off. such a good set....even spac between was killer....HIGHLIGHT-----TOO MUCH....by far the best one I have ever heard or seen....Dave scatted for like 3 mins at the end of the song...so good

[texasdmblvr]

g'morning LAKERS.. (heeheehee)
sounds like everyone had a great time :bounce
ya'll got thing (**green w/ envy):thumbsup
did dave change the words AGAIN to all the new songs??

[bohazo]

Nice to hear that about Recently, very, very nice. I would love to see that top off at around 10+ minutes especially after the job they did in Mansfield. just realized not a single BS song was played... When was the last time that happened, 1999?

[Chaykak]

"They also threw in a couple parts during Recently that were reminiscent of the way they played the song ten years ago"
Awesome :D Can't wait to hear this...

[DMBfan14567]

what a great show! I must say it was an awesome day overall, minus the heat, holy cow it was hot. But damn, I had a blast, now I'm here dying at work :( I can't wait for Alpine!

The crowd was actually great around me, high energy, very knowledgeable (except for the new songs, everyone left or sat down)

[DMBfan14567]

dobyblue, brockboi, brahmabull, halloween21 just to name a few..
:Ddon't forget about me ;)

spank you very much :multi :hug :p

[Acester25]

The 7/10 Interlude doesn't sound very much like Heartbeat to me

Yeah, that's because it wasn't Heartbeat. BustedJeff just keeps going around to every thread saying it was. BustedJeff, they called it Interlude because that's what it is, a new tune that was like an interlude for Dave going to the bathroom. It's more of an intro to Crazy-Easy than anything else.

[Pig(..)_Duff]

i thought it sounded like heartbeat when it first started up. it def wasnt, but it still had that feel in the beginning, then it vastly changed. I hardly think it is an intro to crazy easy though. it seemed very off on its own.

so did the darien have the same interlude dilly?

[KermitDFrog]

Great show, but the best part of the night had to be after the show in the $5 parking when 2 drunk kids stole the guys golf cart and slammed it top speed into a tree ejecting the passenger 10 feet from the cart. What a way to finish off a great night:)

[Bartender84]

there was also a tease before joy ride. a non dmb song, dave was playin on guitar. i couldnt think of it at the time, and still cant. it was really familiar though. any help?

It was Prelude. The only other times it's been played was as an intro to GIG in 2001, and on 7/10 at Hershey.

[Rippy]

To make a long story short, after accidently blowing my friend off at SPAC nite 1, Fenton saw my friend again last night at Darien after the show and called him over to the soundboard. He told my friend to write down his address and he let me give him mine as well. If Fenton was being sincere then my friend and I will be recieving the full bands autographs in the mail very soon. pretty sweet

[Bartender84]

Well it sounds like it to me, so nya.

The only similar thing about it is Carter's drum beat at the beginning. It's a completely different jam

[unccrombie]

It was Prelude. The only other times it's been played was as an intro to GIG in 2001, and on 7/10 at Hershey.
didnt sound the GiG prelude, didnt even sound like a dmb song

[Bartender84]

didnt sound the GiG prelude, didnt even sound like a dmb song

hmm, well that's what the front page lists... odd

[dmbluvr2178]

I thought it was a great show, but I am sick and tired of being jostled by people trying to move about. The only thing that would have made the show better was if Dave took his shirt off...I paid $50 for a ticket, I want to see Daves naked chest!!!

[unccrombie]

hmm, well that's what the front page lists... odd
i know, but they also dont list the cry freedom tease. we'll have to wait and see i guess. i could be wrong, but i swear it sounded like another song. maybe if i had some more info about the 7.10 version i could compare in my head

[dobyblue]

The only thing I didn't like were those damn seats not flipping back. The backs of my calves are bruised to shit from dancing!

Sorry to anyone who tried to reach us through my cell phone. I left it in Canada which is not like me at all. Very sorry.

We looked at the line next to us as we were coming into the park and there was Matt!, which was sooo funny! We hooked up despite the fact he had already called my phone when he was leaving South Buffalo. What are the chances?
Started off the day with Superman! Wow that will wake you up in a hurry!

[DMBfan14567]

did you have fun in the park Steve?

and I know what you mean about the seats, that did stink, but afterawhile I adapted :lol

[dobyblue]

Yes the park was terrific - rode all the rides except the boomarang thingy as we have one at Canada's Wonderland. Superman was definitely a great way to start the day. I am terrified of heights so the initial climb always makes me swear I'll never get on another ever, but then I get off and look for the next one!
Great time indeed.
Next year we'll all be more organised for Darien and SPAC!

haha you should just be glad it didn't break or someone didn't die while you were on it :lol

I remember the first time I rode it, when it first opened, my friends dad got us VIP passes somehow, so we went the first day, and as we're climbing up the hill the train STOPS like 15 feet from the top, and sat there for a good 10 minutes. Oh my God I nearly pissed myself it was so scary sitting up there almost 200 feet high not knowing what was going on.

I'm thinking of making a trip up to Toronto on the new fast ferry sometime and catch a Yankees game, and go to Canada's Wonderland (I havne't been there since I was a kid), it's just a matter of finding a free weekend :lol

[PurpleAntLeg]

Well after 10 shows, I finally heard Pig; a song I been waiting 3 years to hear. I wish it could have been at a better sounding venue. Dairan sucks

[The Sean]

ok, my review

i was 14th row, dead center. pretty sweet seats. Darien is a good venue if youre close enough

Galactic was alright. i liked it more when they just jammed and the singer wasnt out there. The Zeppelin cover of Whole Lotta Love was nice. (i also liked how the music before the opener and before DMB was the Beatles and Zeppelin)

DMB took 45 minutes after Galactic finished to get on stage. thats like a whole 'nother set in length. oh well

Intro - i totally called this. these were the exact same notes he played at Central Park when DDTW opened.

DDTW - and i was right. excellent song. second time i heard it open but its still good

Pig - awesome, i dont feel so bad about missing SPAC1 anymore. im really glad i got to hear this song. one of my favorites

One Sweet World - i miss the intro, but its still a good song

Intro > Hello Again - great, not quite as good as SPAC2 though. i called this song as well

Bass Intro > Crush - this made the two girls next to me happy :rolleyes: . i thoroughly enjoy this song as well.

STJL - saweet. im glad i finally got to hear this song live

Sugar Will - i do enjoy this song, but as far as the crowd is concerned, its too long, slow and repetative.

Too Much - excellent, great high energy song. everyone was going crazy

Recently - they soundchecked this, and i'm overjoyed that i got to hear the classic version of it. such a good song :thumbsup

Interlude - i dont remember it well

Rhyme and Reason - i think i lost my voice during this :)

Thing - my favorite of the new songs, but its a little too slow now, and he doesnt really say "its a good, good night tonight" in the way he did the first few times it was played. i wish they'd go back to that version.

The Space Between - good Everyday selection.

Crazy-Easy - this is when i finally told the girl next to me that DMB was playing new songs and that this was one of them. they were looking upset at not hearing many songs they know. what a shame.

Warehouse - WOO! i love this song, im glad i got to hear it again. i was screaming the words as loud as i could. the fireworks were a nice touch

What Would You Say - yeah, nice. good concert song. i still think the album version with John Popper is the best

[tease] - i dont remember this too well, but i knew they were going to play Joy Ride next

Joy Ride - everybody loved this song, extremely high energy. if Thing turns into a slow song this will be my number 1. the girls next to me actually stood for this song :eek:

Ants Marching - i really think that this was unplanned, (or maybe it was supposed to be during the encore) and Carter reacted to the crowd. here's my reasons: the stage totally went black; dave was taking off his guitar when the snare intro started, leroi was taking off his sax, and they were all looking at Carter like "wtf^^ mate", then Carter starts directing them to get going and play the song. it was pretty sweet. i think the crowd loved this the most. i finally got to see it live :D .

encore - so those girls sat during Pig, OSW, and all the new songs, but they stood during the whole encore break. :ugh: i dont get it. whatever.

Tripping Billies - this song is so awesome live and this was no exception. during it i was thinking, "what could possibly come after this?". unfortunately, nothing did. oh well. still a helluva show.

surprisingly Everyday and WAYG werent played. thats a first for me. i dont mind.

oh, and Ryan didnt get any picks or sticks.

[ordis]

what a show! even after 11 shows i have yet to be disappointed. our chairs flipped up in the 100's but we had ridiculous security keeping us in our rows, they just didnt quit, until we rushed the stage during billies. i was in 100 row 6 in seat 1 and met some very cool people! CarterIsGod was right near me and seemed to enjoy the security :lol but im pretty sure he got his stick.... overall a great night and thanks again to those of you who helped me out with my ticket! you guys are awesome and hopefully ill meet up with you all again sometime :)

[unccrombie]

hey guys, here's the set scan. glad the show was changed

well i guess Ants was planned after all

[The Sean]

Roi didnt wear his glasses either

[dobyblue]

Very pleased with the way it changed.
:thumbsup

[mckinb]

lemme brake it down for ya'll


[Tease] - this sounded like a non dmb song, very familiar. it was dave solo for 30 seconds or so...the song was on the tip of my tounge

New Song #2 - before joy ride people had the ants snare into "clap" going, except on the back of our chairs. they stop for a minute, talk, carter smilies and recognizes what we are doing. then they go into joyride and tear the roof off. joyride ends on a snare drum outro.



I thought it was China Cat/I know you rider from the Dead, but I'll need to get another listen, but it was on the tip of my tongue as well, and that was what popped in my head.

Just a thought.

I enjoyed the show, it was fun meeting new people!
ANd thank God, I didn't get stuck in that mess after the show!

[unccrombie]

^ thanks for the insight, we'll have to see

[twosteppn36]

i thought the tease sounded a lot like too much

[unccrombie]

from where he was on the fretboard it didn't look like too much

[2SteppingAnt41]

fonzi teased birdland by maynard ferguson in his intro... how FUCKING COOL was that

[2SteppingAnt41]

oh, and i flipped out when he went into the ants snare... oh man, no one was expecting that and carter had this grin on his face like he was pulling something out of his sleeve...

[zybergoat]

hey guys, here's the set scan. glad the show was changed

http://216.58.174.213/dmbalmanaccom/setscans/453056092.jpg

So not too much deviation really...Thing wasn't planned, but that kinda sucks that they didn't play Cry Freedom as planned... :(

However, for all the bitching about a one-song encore, thank fucking God it wasn't Stay...I'll take a Billies anyday over that overplayed song... :thumbsup

[Rochesterman]

Yet again, great show..... love the news songs, crowd.... SUCKED.

[DMBfan14567]

see I think the crowd was great compared to last year.

[twosteppn36]

Yet again, great show..... love the news songs, crowd.... SUCKED.



where were you? i thought the crowd was excellent...especially compared to last year

[valine1011]

Did anyone else get a riot out of the drama after the show in the field behind the venue.....when this girl went hysterical at her friends after misplacing her cell phone? That b**ch would have gotten LEFT.

[twosteppn36]

nope...but i did witness what was probably one of the funniest things ive ever seen...these guys next to us in the lot had a tank of nitrous and they were sellin it and shit..so after a while i look over and theres 2 cops with a dog...which it looks like they're gonna bust em...after about 15 minutes...the guys finally open their trunk and the cops make them empty the tank....so the tank is laying on the ground face up with nitrous shooting out of it....then all the guys kinda like jump on top of it and tried taking as much of it in as they could while the cops just stood there laughing at them....they did that until the whole tank was empty...when it was empty, the cops were laughing hysterically and said "thanks" and walked away...i have pictures that i have to scan of this...good stuff :lol

[chris917]

i cant see how thing wasn't planned. after R&R dave turned around and slapped that capo on right away like he normally does :lol

[SeekUp125]

ok, so I was front row for this one, the people next to us were WH upgrades. However, they had a giant camera in front of them (partially blocked us too), and couldn't even see Dave. We took a couple steps to the left and were fine (no Roi though), but security kept hassling them about being in the aisle. Leave it to Darien Lake to give people problems seeing from the front row. Overall my seats 5th row seats to Blue Cross were better, simply because you can't see half the stage at Darien from the front row because it's so high. Anyway, the show...

I was very sick throughout the whole thing (I have the beginnings of whats starting to look like pneumonia), at least security asked me if I was ok a couple times.

Intro - obviously going into DDTW
Don’t Drink the Water - good version, Dave's wailing gets the crowd going.
Don’t Burn The Pig - surprised to see this, love the song, however, have to say, until the last verse, it bored me a bit.
One Sweet World - seen it a few times, nothing special
Intro - why does the Road Page list everytime Dave noodles a guitar
New Song #3 - Hello Again, good, not as good as SPAC2
Bass Intro - about 15 seconds long, Fonzi can't solo for shit
Crush - best version of Crush I've ever heard. If I wasn't fighting back vomit, could have been a highlight.
Song That Jane Likes - I've never seen this one before, it was nice.
New Song #4 - Gave me a chance to sit down without looking like jackass. This did freak me out though...for a good 15 seconds during this song, Dave absolutely just STARED at me..not sure why (I was standing at this point), if he was trying to gage a reaction or just needed somewhere to put his eyes, but man, it's an odd feeling.
Too Much - good version, but I have seen it 6452 times.
Recently - New "old" jam..I like it better.
Interlude - new song?
Rhyme & Reason - plain version.
Hmm ? [New] - really enjoyed this alot. Needs to be shortened a little, and get a little more definition, but it has a lot of potential. Lyrics about an old friend calling Dave and saying goodbye because he was dying.
The Space Between - it wasn't IDI. I'll take it.
New Song #1 - Ok, needs to be condensed.
Warehouse - Great version, really wish they'd expand the salsa jam a little.
What Would You Say - yeah....I thought I was dying at this point, so I took a short break
[Tease]
New Song #2 - good stuff, right length, good chorus...needs verses
Ants Marching - awesome, awesome, best way to close a show.
__________________

Tripping Billies - if you're going to get a 1 song encore, you want it to be two step or billies. I'll take it and not complain.

Overall, a good show, probably in the middle of the pack as far as my shows go. Of course the seats make everything better, and the illness makes everything worse, so who really knows.

[zybergoat]

Yet again, great show..... love the news songs, crowd.... SUCKED.

I've got to agree...although I've never had the bad luck to get stuck with lawn seats (the very reason my sister-in-law will NEVER go see DMB at Darien ever again), I just get aggravated with the fact that much of the crowd (that I end up near, anyway) is a bunch of drunk, obnoxious idiots. I had a guy smacking me in the back repeatedly last night because he couldn't manage to stand up straight while trying to talk to one of his fellow idiots down the row.

I think one of the problems is that by selling alcohol inside the venue, it lets drunk idiots *STAY* drunk idiots. Mind you, I drank prior to the show, and a good amount at that, but once inside, I was perfectly content to be sober and enjoy the show.

Sadly, DL is probably the worst venue I've ever been to, in terms of both sound quality and crowds. In the future, if I can avoid it and instead go to SPAC or TO, I will.

This is one reason I likes SPAC so much. No drunken fools

[valine1011]

lol. describe the girl, i think I may know who its is..
She was a heavier set girl, not to discriminate, with brown hair, the driver was blond and extremely PATIENT, I mean this girl was going ape-shit crazy....my brother had gotten out of work in the park and met us in the lot, we were going to have him go up to her, flash his id and say he was security but he was half her size!

[crushnancy]

The backs of my calves are SOOOOO BRUISED too! My right one has 7 bright red and green and purple bruises on it and my left one has 4....it hurts to walk! But it was sooooo worth it..

We just got back today. We decided that we couldn't face the 3 hour drive home after the 2 hour wait in the parking lot. We hooked up with some guys, drank and listened to a kid play his guitar and sing....he was awesome!

I was in section 406 and most of the time when older songs, slower songs or the new ones were played, EVERYONE sat down or left.....MORONS! We had a great time dancing up a storm....it was so DARN hot though!

Hope y'all had a good time....

So sad....my last show of this tour and it's not even half over....

[halloween21]

yea those pot heads were pissing me off as well....I felt really bad for this person who was in a wheelchair trying to watch a show but these asshole kids who were high kept dancing in the aisle in front of him and actually hit his chair which was not cool. Then on of their GFs tryed to pull him back but he was like no im staying where I want to..you could see how upset the handicapped person was....Why are people assholes.

[AudreyM]

Yet again, great show..... love the news songs, crowd.... SUCKED.

Definitely agree. We were near the front of 201 and had 6 people with All Access passes sitting next to us. They sat for most of the show, didn't know a single song, and left early. Painful to witness. The girls in front of us continuously snuck their friends (tall friends) from the lawns into their row, so I spent half the night trying to get security's attention to move each new group out, just so I could have a decent view of the stage. :BANG

On another note, the bathrooms weren't flooded!!! :bounce

[Rippy]

one of the highlights from last night: The band pointing and watching as the fireworks went off and the crowd went ape shit. pretty sweet

[crushnancy]

The bathrooms weren't flooded because that staff were frantically mopping the floors all night!

[Rochesterman]

Face it, Darien is a pretty bad venue ALL AROUND. Mixing alcohol or whatever substance is your fancy and underagers or even unresponsible people together will NEVER work. There's just a new generation of KIDS growing up with dmb now and the older generations of dmb fans can see it. Like it or not get used to what's happening because it's only gonna get worse. Its a pretty sad thing but sooner or later, DMB is going to get the same reputation as a popular band in the late 90's got, but hey clear channel will do ANYTHING for a buck, right? I mean do what you want to do but, common respect for others is definately something alot of people need to learn. I guess my point is.... the days of going to a show and enjoying YOURSELF are gone, way gone.

[brockboi]

Yes the park was terrific - rode all the rides except the boomarang thingy as we have one at Canada's Wonderland. Superman was definitely a great way to start the day. I am terrified of heights so the initial climb always makes me swear I'll never get on another ever, but then I get off and look for the next one!
Great time indeed.
Next year we'll all be more organised for Darien and SPAC!
we won't talk about what happened with Matt on superman!!!! ;)


I'm thinking of making a trip up to Toronto on the new fast ferry sometime and catch a Yankees game, and go to Canada's Wonderland (I havne't been there since I was a kid), it's just a matter of finding a free weekend :lol
Canada's Wonderland is great. i love it there. i used to live about 3.5 hours away and had a seasons pass every year!


also...for the most part the venue and the night was a great one. here were my issues:
1. sound was way too low. there were many parts of the show where i couldn't even hear dave's voice.
2. drunkeness was at a low...but i had one girl in front of me that jumped the railing and tried to beat up a 300+ lbs security guard! this girl would be lucky if she was 110 lbs!
3. people were chuckin water bottles all night! uncool.
4. some guy who had a midget girlfriend and found that it was his place to push everyone outta the way so she could be at the front of the lawn. well i'm sorry, but if you weren't there first...too bad. he was throwing people outta the way to get up there. well i finally put a stop to that. the guys was like 6'3 so even though his girl could now see, nobody behind him could see. then the guy proceeded to talk about how he was screwed on tickets and that he SHOULD be in the front (i guess that gives him the right to push everyone outta the way) and talk about how he knows some guy who "plays" in the NFL, even tho this guy was just drafted this year! that doesn't mean you're singed or playing dude!!!

anyways...all in all the darien crowd and concert was the best i've ever seen it! good times!

[DMBfan14567]

The bathrooms weren't flooded because that staff were frantically mopping the floors all night!
that and I noticed a ton of port a potties...it was so convienent, no lines, and just on the other side of the fence from where I was sitting (sec. 203).

sure beats wading around in 3 inches of human waste like last year.

4. some guy who had a midget girlfriend and found that it was his place to push everyone outta the way so she could be at the front of the lawn. well i'm sorry, but if you weren't there first...too bad. he was throwing people outta the way to get up there. well i finally put a stop to that. the guys was like 6'3 so even though his girl could now see, nobody behind him could see. then the guy proceeded to talk about how he was screwed on tickets and that he SHOULD be in the front (i guess that gives him the right to push everyone outta the way) and talk about how he knows some guy who "plays" in the NFL, even tho this guy was just drafted this year! that doesn't mean you're singed or playing dude!!!

anyways...all in all the darien crowd and concert was the best i've ever seen it! good times!
yeah I remember the park used to be really cool...they had a Smurf thing if I'm thinking of the right place...I loved that :lol

now you gotta tell us what happened to Matt, inquiring minds want to know!

Dont care what anyone says this show was awesome!!

Hightlights:

Dont Drink the water: sick opener, the boys were really into it

Pig- The crowd screamed up a storm when they played this.

Hello Again- Easy to tell that Dave loves this song

Crush- Nice bass opener, Nice long jam at the end

Warehouse- Stefan had everyone on thier feet with the hooos

Ants- Dave must have broke a string on the guitar but he kepts
singing the lyrics until a guy from side stage brang him a new one.

Tripping Billies- Best encore song there is. IMO

Downers:

The new songs> everyone got up and left during the new songs. Pretty depressing.


I was hoping for: Lie in our graves, #41, The Stone

Ants- Dave must have broke a string on the guitar but he kepts
singing the lyrics until a guy from side stage brang him a new one.

I may be wrong, but I coulda sworn it was during Joy Ride. Either way, he definitely broke a string. They showed his guitar with the string hanging on the big screen.

The Space Between - it wasn't IDI. I'll take it.
Pleasantly surprised at how good this song was.

One Sweet World - seen it a few times, nothing special
Nothing special unless you like to dance at a DMB show, then it's got perfect rhythm.

Too Much - good version, but I have seen it 6452 times.
Wow! That's 5931 more times than it has been played by the band.

Some random thoughts...

DDTW - Central Park intro...you knew it was coming. With so much energy in this song, you can't ask for a better opener. Carter was a little reserved, but it was still a great way to open.

Pig - Energy stays high. Carter is again reserved, but Roi steps in to help him out. After this song (except for a few subtle reservations), you wouldn't have known that Carter's wrist was injured.

OSW - The intro was much better than it was at SPAC. The scat outro was good.

Hello Again - They keep rocking this song. I wish they'd bring its fragments together more, but you can't deny the energy it has. The Carter drum solo is defintely different...he intentionally remains reserved, making for an interesting interlude.

Crush - Veeerryy jazzy. Nice Stefan intro and nice Boyd jam. Carter did not hold back with the end jam.

Sugar Will - I've seen 3 shows this tour, and this song kills the crowd every time. They've got to shorten it up until it matures more. The only "disappointment" (you knew it was coming) of the night.

Too Much - I can't stand this song because I've heard it so much, but it was definitely one of the highlights of the night. During the soundcheck, they tried the extended/scat jam for it, and Dave was singing the lyrics to Loveshack (pretty funny). Anyway, this song rocked, and everyone was into it.

Recently - Nice performance considering Carter's injury...short bluegrass outro with Pretty Girl.

Rhyme - Rocked as usual, especially the final chorus. Dave seemed to be really feeling Hmm...he was ranging the vocals quite a bit.

Space - Good song...if we're getting an Everyday one, I'm glad its this...Dave had a lyric sheet on stage and still messed up the lyrics.

Crazy-Easy - Rocked...I think they added a mini-Roi jam in the middle (I don't remember it at SPAC), and Dave really put force into the vocals throughout the chorus and the end (fireworks begin here).

Warehouse - Salsa jam...very nice.

WWYS - Like Too Much, it had an extended jam...something that made this show great was that it was clear that Dave knew which songs would rock either way (i.e. Rhyme), but for the ones that are often described as "standard" (WWYS, Too Much), it was clear that they put forth extra effort.

Joy Ride - Again, very passionate on the vocals...Dave was really feeling the new songs tonight.

Ants: During the snare intro, Dave was pointing to Carter on each hit...great moment. Dave broke a string in the middle, and Monk ran out to replace the guitar which he did as Dave kept singing...awesome sight. By the time the fireworks were in full swing at the end of this song, I felt like I did at my first few shows - completely blown away. Incredible end to an incredible set.

Billies - Jammed out as is to be expected...in my opnion, you can't complain about an encore that is rocked out like that even if its one song, especially after a show like that. Dave broke another string.

Other Notes:
Carter's bandage was shot to hell by the end of the night. I remember several people from previous shows mentioning that when he first had the bandage, they didn't shoot him much with the cameras. Well, he was by far the most covered tonight by the cameramen, and there was no sign of pain. He seemed to step it up as night went on, and Roi seemed to step in for him too throughout the night (Roi had a good night). I've seen 18 shows, and this one definitely ranks in the top 2.

yea those pot heads were pissing me off as well....I felt really bad for this person who was in a wheelchair trying to watch a show but these asshole kids who were high kept dancing in the aisle in front of him and actually hit his chair which was not cool. Then on of their GFs tryed to pull him back but he was like no im staying where I want to..you could see how upset the handicapped person was....Why are people assholes.
I am so glad I didn't see that shit going on because I would have grabbed them by their fucking throat and made them apologise then get out of the fucking way. WTF is wrong with people? Sorry if I seem like raging bull but my blood is boiling having read that. Stupid cunt.

[somedevil22]

Hey halloween21, I will be right behind you in row G for Hartford night 1. My last show of the tour:( . Hopefully it will be just as good as last nights.

[dobyblue]

now you gotta tell us what happened to Matt, inquiring minds want to know!
:lol

We have to let Matt tell that story in his own words - if he remembers!!

[rochny89]

Did anyone hear the Cry Freedom tease because I sure didn't...

[mxz440fan]

anyone know why dave kept changing guitars after each of the first 5 or 6 songs? does he always do that? they were all 6 strings, and i wasn't aware of him using different 6 strings for different songs. maybe i'm just uninformed? it didn't look like he was breaking strings or anything either.

[hearmorphish]

i like stay last year and this year. in my op, its fresh now w/out the ladies.

[unccrombie]
