11/16/0

[Franchize41]

These GF's need to get there priority's straight

Ya its true, but shes been gone for two weeks so I was obligated to go. The whole time though I was wondering if I got the set opener lol. I didnt :(

[grandmaaggie]

Don't forget about us little people when you have the world wrapped around your little fingerwell its my night tonight I promise you will get yours :D

[yin_yang]

Stjl

[Noles20]

Haven't seen that in a while. 10/16/0

[Bartender84]

Hello Again
Sugar Will
I Did It
Too Much
Jimi Thing
Fool To Think

Bwahahaha!! Some of the hardline fans are clinching now.

11/16/0

Only low point for me would be IDI

[Franchize41]

Had it in my set but took it out for cry freedom, either or 11/16/1

[happygirl326]

dammit i missed the first two hours of the show thanks to my girlfriend. I was just about to come on here and talk and she shows up.
Hopefully she made it worth your while ;)

[Franchize41]

Only low point for me would be IDI

Same here, now if STDH was also in there instead of Hello Again then I might get pissed.

[Noles20]

We won't get another song for a while now. Soon Dave will be scatting away!

[grandmaaggie]

Stjl
:confused:

[OCMarsh]

Only low point for me would be IDI
Same here, but you know some of those gray-haired fans get uptight when every other song isn't Blue Water or Seek Up.

[Noles20]

I Did It and Too Much (among others) always get bashed in here. Both were played at Merriweather and I enjoyed each one. Too Much was really good. Lots of energy from the band and passion in Dave's voice. He was singing all these lines toward the end of TM. I couldn't understand a word, but it was cool.

[unccrombie]

Same here, but you know some of those gray-haired fans get uptight when every other song isn't Blue Water or Seek Up.
FTT sucks my nuts too

[yin_yang]

:confused:

lol, if people dont name a rare song (halloween, blue water0, people just dont get its a joke... :D

i just noticed someoneearlier on said STJL, so idecided to confuse people, if 2 people said it it would be more believable.

[reds24]

IIHIA is much better than FTT

[unccrombie]

IIHIA is much better than FTT
agreed

[dmbfan524]

just now able to check out the set. exactly as i had predicted. nothing new either. damn

[Franchize41]

IIHIA is much better than FTT

definately

[yin_yang]

hahaha not live, IIHIA sucks energy away like a vacuum.

[Bartender84]

cmon Stay

[dmbfan524]

stay for sure tonight.

[LilMango777]

im thinkin one song encore tonight....unless they save crazy-easy for the encore

-justin-

[reds24]

hahaha not live, IIHIA sucks energy away like a vacuum.
don't know what shows you have been to, but FTT doesn't exactly get the crowd jumping

[grandmaaggie]

cmon StayI'm with you on that one

[dmbfan524]

i feel really dumb. lost an easy 2 points. forgot to put grey street in my set.

[unccrombie]

set list guy is taking a nap

[Noles20]

I think Rapunzel closes the set, and Stay closes the Encore.

[Noles20]

set list guy is taking a nap

Jimi is a long song. I told you it would be a while.

[unccrombie]

I think Rapunzel closes the set, and Stay closes the Encore.
looks to be that way as of now

[Bartender84]

I think Rapunzel closes the set, and Stay closes the Encore.

Damnit, you jinxed it! I needed those points :violent

[grandmaaggie]

i feel really dumb. lost an easy 2 points. forgot to put grey street in my set.
I didn't put it in mine either

[dmbfan04]

don't know what shows you have been to, but FTT doesn't exactly get the crowd jumping

i have seen both the songs in the same show and IIHIA had much more energy

[unccrombie]

Jimi is a long song. I told you it would be a while.
they were on FTT :lol

[Noles20]

Damnit, you jinxed it! I needed those points :violent

sorry

[dmbfan524]

damn...was gonna put this in the set and didnt. oh well

[Noles20]

they were on FTT :lol

Warehouse is one song ahead :lol

[dmbfan524]

crazy easy and stay in the encore? most likely

[Noles20]

12/18/0

[LilMango777]

14/18/0....im guessin crazy-easy & stay encore

[unccrombie]

Warehouse is one song ahead :lol
dmbsetlist switches between the road page and WH, kind of hard to know :lol

[yin_yang]

i'm sorry master

[greppson]

pnp > rap.

14/18/1

but if it was smts > astb > r&r then i'm 15/19/2.

[dmbfan524]

this show is such a disapointment for night 2. wish nancies would return

[grandmaaggie]

crazy easy and stay in the encore? most likely
thats what I would guess

[yin_yang]

i kinda want C-E to close out the encore

[Franchize41]

pnp > rap.

14/18/1

but if it was smts > astb > r&r then i'm 15/19/2.

Isnt it 18 if there's astb?

[greppson]

a recently/crazy-easy encore would ROCK.

[unccrombie]

pnp > rap.

14/18/1

but if it was smts > astb > r&r then i'm 15/19/2.
there's no segue symbol, sorry amigo

[qm247]

My guess for the encore:

(#40)-->gotta happen sometime
Typical
Two Step

I know it's being overly optimistic, but YNK.

[greppson]

Isnt it 18 if there's astb?
no... 19... you must be forgetting PNP.

[yin_yang]

yeah, in 1998/2001 they werent afraid to close out shows with new songs, they should give crazy easy or joy ride a tryout.

[Franchize41]

no... 19... you must be forgetting PNP.

Actually I forgot Too Much, Im going blind :BANG

[ChadRap127]

___________________

[Sniper15]

thats what I would guess

No doubt. WYA could show it's face tonight though.

[greppson]

there's no symbol on R&R/ "good good time", ie thing... and i think it has always been segued... or segued most of the tapes i have heard.

[Bartender84]

a recently/crazy-easy encore would ROCK.

The other way around though. C-E shouldn't close shows yet.

[dmbfan524]

i kind of hope stay closes so i get points and maybe not hear it in camden. but i hope not...cause i want another debut. maybe watchtower

[Noles20]

Isnt it 18 if there's astb?

18 w/out, 19 with it. Don't forget PNP

[grandmaaggie]

Well I think I'm 15/18/3 I sure hope they didn't play ASTB

[Franchize41]

13/19/1 if there's ASTB, 12/18/0 if there isnt.

[reds24]

Hello Again should close shows soon, maybe change up the end a little.

[yin_yang]

My guess for the encore:

(#40)-->gotta happen sometime
Typical
Two Step

I know it's being overly optimistic, but YNK.

wow, YNK but i know that wont happen, bet you 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000009000000 00000000324600000 dollars....

[greppson]

The other way around though. C-E shouldn't close shows yet.
it's got more energy than the end of recently does... that's why.

[OCMarsh]

13/18/0

My encore was SMTS>>ASTB>>PNP>>Rapunzel

Maybe we'll get Typical Situation>>ASTB>>Stay

[Noles20]

Well I think I'm 15/18/3 I sure hope they didn't play ASTB

It doesn't effect me, but for you sake, I hope not!

[Bartender84]

Hello Again should close shows soon, maybe change up the end a little.

That's only new song I think should be used as a closer this year

[unccrombie]

there's no symbol on R&R/ "good good time", ie thing... and i think it has always been segued... or segued most of the tapes i have heard.
it's not listed as a segue on either the WH or the road page. plus smts-->RR has never been done...

[Sniper15]

A one song encore of Two Step might happen also.

[Bartender84]

LIOG -> Crazy-Easy -> LIOG Reprise

[Noles20]

Hello Again should close shows soon, maybe change up the end a little.

Hello Again would be great in the first spot of the opener. They could segue the drum solo into Halloween or some other great closers!

[qm247]

wow, YNK but i know that wont happen, bet you 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000009000000 00000000324600000 dollars....


:lol
...and an extra $.02 for extra measure.

[grandmaaggie]

It doesn't effect me, but for you sake, I hope not!
Thanks for the kind words :D

[Bartender84]

Hello Again would be great in the first spot of the opener. They could segue the drum solo into Halloween or some other great closers!

Hello Again -> Say Goodbye would be a great encore

[dmbfan524]

i hate predictable sets :(

[yin_yang]

[grandmaaggie]

LIOG -> Crazy-Easy -> LIOG Reprise
That would be awsome

[unccrombie]

10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000009000000 00000000324600000.02 dollars
x 0

you get nothing

[greppson]

it's not listed as a segue on either the WH or the road page. plus smts-->RR has never been done...
you aren't reading what i am writing:

they have done r&r > thing at every show as far as i can tell. the road page has put the > in sometimes and not other times.

all i am saying is don't rule it out just because they didn't put it on the road page. you are probably right, they probably didn't do smts > astb > r&r, but with this band, nothing is certain.

heck, there were intros last night to songs, but they aren't listed on the setlist pages either... basically, there isn't too much consistency on their part, so don't rule it out yet.

[Noles20]

Hello Again -> Say Goodbye would be a great encore

You are singing my song!!!

[yin_yang]

i hate predictable sets :(

i know, everyone does, dont worry, the community will get through, wait until the second leg of the tour, things WILL get better...i hope.... :o

[grandmaaggie]

i hate predictable sets :(
Yeah the sets have been pretty easy to predict all year

[greppson]

Hello Again -> Say Goodbye would be a great encore
last night it sounded like carter was going to do: hello again > halloween. check out his drum solo on the tapes when they come out. a lot of people started cheering at that part during his solo, but then suddenly got quiet again.

[dmbfan524]

i know, everyone does, dont worry, the community will get through, wait until the second leg of the tour, things WILL get better...i hope.... :o


yeah unfortunately the last of my shows are in camden. both nights. i just want 1 more debut song. i dont care if its sleep to dream her.

[qm247]

10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000009000000 00000000324600000.02 dollars

:thumbsup

The thing is is that I've been listening to RR a lot recently, and hearing all those older songs just kinda brings out predictions like that for me.

[reds24]

Come on Pig!

[Bartender84]

Road Page Guy's late on posting the ________________

[greppson]

yeah unfortunately the last of my shows are in camden. both nights. i just want 1 more debut song. i dont care if its sleep to dream her.
:ugh:

you want it just to say, "i was there when they debuted stdh in 2004."

??

[dmbfan524]

Come on Pig!


pig would be awesome.

pig
#41 (with the flecktones)

damn i wish this could be a reality

[yin_yang]

yeah unfortunately the last of my shows are in camden. both nights. i just want 1 more debut song. i dont care if its sleep to dream her.

wow, i...i...i think this is rock bottom

[dmbfan524]

:ugh:

you want it just to say, "i was there when they debuted stdh in 2004."

??


not to say it.....just to see another song make it into rotation for the tour. get it up to about 27 different songs

[Bartender84]

I guess the set guy passed out on all the crack

[greppson]

not to say it.....just to see another song make it into rotation for the tour. get it up to about 27 different songs
you do know they've played 48 different songs this tour right?

[dmbfan524]

you do know they've played 48 different songs this tour right?


27 being sarcasm.

[bertramcheeks22]

im guessing a jammed ot ants or 2 step...one song

[greppson]

your sarcasm needs some polishing, cause... it didn't really seem like sarcasm to me.

[yin_yang]

when was the last time only 1 ED song played? i bet we will have ED song in the encore.

[reds24]

im guessing a jammed ot ants or 2 step...one song
ummm, no!

[bertramcheeks22]

oops...forgot about crazy easy

[LilMango777]

im guessing a jammed ot ants or 2 step...one song

im guessin no ants since they already played it :lol

[grandmaaggie]

im guessing a jammed ot ants or 2 step...one song
I bet its not Ants

[Bartender84]

when was the last time only 1 ED song played? i bet we will have ED song in the encore.

Encore:
Crazy-Easy
So Right

would be great

[greppson]

im guessing a jammed ot ants or 2 step...one song
so they'd play ants twice this show?

;) :lol

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Whats Good Good Time?

[greppson]

15/19/1

what will close....

[Bartender84]

Whats Good Good Time?

Thing's new name

[Noles20]

13/19/0 Just give me another song. 28 pts. would be respectable.

[yin_yang]

Encore:
Crazy-Easy
So Right

would be great

stop, you're makking my mind orgasm!! :lol

[dmbfan524]

crazy easy

[Noles20]

15/19/1

what will close....

Gotta be Stay.

[AU1880]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at the setlist...and everyone was saying how great it'd be tonight

[Bartender84]

I guess it's just Crazy Easy then. No dash in the middle

[grandmaaggie]

13/19/0 Just give me another song. 28 pts. would be respectable.
Those spots just don't like you do they

[bertramcheeks22]

yaya laugh it up at my blunder

[Bartender84]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA at the setlist...and everyone was saying how great it'd be tonight

umm... it is great. There doesn't have to be numerous debuts or rare songs for a show to be great. Besides, we're not there, we can't judge the show.

[Noles20]

Watchtower. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dmbfan524]

yeah tonight might be the worst night of the tour. last night was awesome tho

[Bartender84]

Watchtower!!

[grandmaaggie]

Holy shit watchtower

[yin_yang]

good for them. tell you the truth, i cant stand watchtower closing a show, or anywhere, but yeah, a debut, good.

[phil123]

watchtower

[AU1880]

umm... it is great. There doesn't have to be numerous debuts or rare songs for a show to be great. Besides, we're not there, we can't judge the show.
three words...fool to think

[OCMarsh]

F'ing Watchtower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[dmbfan524]

Woooooooooooooooooooo

[bertramcheeks22]

what a shitty setlist...well watchtower made up for that

[Noles20]

Those spots just don't like you do they

You're noticing that too! :BANG

[Bartender84]

yeah tonight might be the worst night of the tour. last night was awesome tho

Once again, :ugh: ? I think this set looks great, even without Watchtower.

[dmbfan524]

watchtower made up for it for sure

[OCMarsh]

Oops^^^ I think I broke the thread

[happygirl326]

I think it's time for some to eat their words regarding the quality of this show....

[Bartender84]

three words...fool to think

Oh no, one song, the whole set is ruined!!1!!1

[brendangen412]

argh, this is the fucking second awesome show, my friends are at and im not, and next up is camden which i wont be at :( POOPY

[Noles20]

umm... it is great. There doesn't have to be numerous debuts or rare songs for a show to be great. Besides, we're not there, we can't judge the show.

Cut and paste what you wrote in the Merriweather page to all those bitching about the setlist who aren't even at the show. That was priceless!

[Bartender84]

Seriously though, there are ALWAYS two ED song in a set. ALWAYS. It is NOT enough for a show to have ED songs to say that it sucks.

[greppson]

watchtower?

interesting. i have the strange reason that a fan met dave and asked for that to be played... that's my thought, but we'll never know... unless you see a "WATCHTOWER WAS PLAYED FOR ME!!!" thread.

i hope it keeps taking a break, along with #41 and two step. people keep asking for these, but i'd rather hear typical. minarets, liog, blue water, raven, and ynk back in the sets more than those. ANYday.

[grandmaaggie]

Well I am assuming that will be it so I finished with 16/20/3 best I have ever done

[dmbfan524]

watchtower HOPEFULLY will come to camden. cant wait now!

[Bartender84]

You know what's gonna happen? After all the bitching, people are going to come back from the show and say it was awesome. It happens every night, and tonight will be no exception. You CANNOT judge a show unless you are there

[Noles20]

i hope it keeps taking a break, along with #41 and two step. people keep asking for these, but i'd rather hear typical. minarets, liog, blue water, raven, and ynk back in the sets more than those. ANYday.

I agree with you.

[greppson]

great set tonight. wish i had had a ticket to stay down there and go.

people who say this set sucks because IDI and FTT were played need to check out some recordings from this year. those two songs have been FULL of energy and got the crowd going at the 5 shows i've been to so far.

[dmbfan524]

i hope it keeps taking a break, along with #41 and two step. people keep asking for these, but i'd rather hear typical. minarets, liog, blue water, raven, and ynk back in the sets more than those. ANYday.


definitely to the latter part of that statement.

[yin_yang]

yeah, i agree with you ^^^ watchtower is nothing be be awed at, its no that good, i'd like dmb songs to close out shows. hope they play it sparingly.

[Noles20]

A debut last night and tonight. That makes me even more excited for Camden. I can't wait. I have decent seats night 1 and I'm in the pit for my first time night 2! How excited am I???

[Bartender84]

definitely to the latter part of that statement.

Except for Two Step, they can rest it once I get to see it

[happygirl326]

You know what's gonna happen? After all the bitching, people are going to come back from the show and say it was awesome. It happens every night, and tonight will be no exception. You CANNOT judge a show unless you are there
:thumbsup So, so, true.

You know, I like you and you're thinking. :)

[happygirl326]

A debut last night and tonight. That makes me even more excited for Camden. I can't wait. I have decent seats night 1 and I'm in the pit for my first time night 2! How excited am I???
I am really happy for you. I am sure it will be great. And now that they have named the new songs, perhaps we will start seeing some more new songs make an appearance.

[unccrombie]

glad to see it back

[unccrombie]

Seriously though, there are ALWAYS two ED song in a set. ALWAYS. It is NOT enough for a show to have ED songs to say that it sucks.
uh no, SPAC 1 & 2 only had 2 ED songs total. WTWE and Everyday. one each night

[Bartender84]

uh no, SPAC 1 & 2 only had 2 ED songs total. WTWE and Everyday. one each night

So? Out of the last three years, how many shows can you find that had less than 2 ED songs?

[ChadRap127]

Im Predicting it now...RETURN OF WATCHTOWER

WHAT DID I TELL YOU..MUHAHAHHA

[asmjm39]

interesting set tonight

[unccrombie]

So? Out of the last three years, how many shows can you find that had less than 2 ED songs?
i'll actually do the research, and report back

[Bartender84]

i'll actually do the research, and report back

The point is, there is an average of two ED songs a show. And that will likely never change. So if you're going to say a set sucks because of that, you might as well say that 95% of shows the past 3 years have sucked, and that the majority of setlists from now until the end of time will suck.

[Rdedeian]

great set tonight. wish i had had a ticket to stay down there and go.



Same here, all day at work today I was pissed cause I knew I was going to miss the show tonight. Plus I was half-asleep cause I got home at 2:30 last night and had to be at work at 8 this morning.



And I think we sat like right near to each other last night, Section 200 Row A? I was the really quite kid with the Braves hat on at the end of the aisle

[AU1880]

Oh no, one song, the whole set is ruined!!1!!1
THIS was a personal opinion

[jester29]

not crazy about tonight - hoping for better in the ghetto on tuesday... sorry :)

Yup, ED will never go away, and I don't really think thats a bad thing

haha, i was the guy with the green polo shirt/jeans standing next to girl with the sign that said, "carter i want your wood" (which he pointed at and waved a stick at her at the beginning, but then security took the sign and carter forgot i think).

i also saw carter try to give halloween 21 a stick, but the guy with the stupid "got bubbles?" shit ripped it out of his hand. and for a side note, the bubbles were ok, but you do you really think dave is going to care if your girlfriend is blowing bubbles?(he kept pointing at dave and the bubbles and the girl. weird)

[Rdedeian]

You know I thought it was you from pics I've seen in the past here, but I'm not the kind of person to like ask if I'm not sure on things.

Yah I can't believe they took her sign away.

[jguinan101]

just got in and looked at the set list what is "good good time"

[Mickey Carson]

just got in and looked at the set list what is "good good time"
Thing

[jguinan101]

are we sure of this, if so thats cool like that name

[minigunmorgan4]

are we sure of this, if so thats cool like that name
im wondering too

[Mickey Carson]

I highly doubt that there is another new song titled Good Good Time, when Thing has "Good Good Time" in its chorus.

[greppson]

tear gas and rubber bullets outside the meadows tonight. 60 people involved. my friend just called.

also: there was this really nasty smell oustide the venue last night, like trash and just... nastiness. apparently the jimi thing scat tonight was about that. :lol

[coolhotwaves]

Interesting to see that the names are now official names. I'd rather see this than new song #. Good Good Time...much better than thing or hmm?. Nice to see watchtower back if only because it's something different.

[Holla9]

Yeah , my friend called me and told me there were a ton of fights , people were throwing bottles , ect. I'm glad I didn't go . DMB should stop playing there if the crowd can't control themselves year after year .

[wagx3]

i noticed two things.

1. how long has it been since they just played So Much to Say without a segue? it just seems like there is usually a segue that follows.
2. hooray for the return of watchtower!

[Gregb486]

called it, watchtower, booyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[cmdace18]

I dont get some of you guys. How can some of you say that: crash, warehouse, (mid set) ants, cry freedom, jimi, grey street, and an unbelievable watchtower doesn't make up an great set. Tonites show was AWESOME!

[Gregb486]

was watchtower fire cp style?

[Strugz10]

According to the Warehouse Crew....

Another great show in Hartford tonight. You might have noticed, on the real-time set list, names for the new songs. Today the band decided to start listing the new songs by their working titles, although they may change with time. The set flowed well and the excitement of the crowd was noticeably appreciated by the band. We are heading into a couple days off before our shows in Camden on Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll see y'all then.

[Gregb486]

im so pumped for camden, fuckin pumped as shit, and im drunk, yayyyyyyy!

[ted1325]

The way they did Watchtower I thought was insane.......Boyd has his usual solo first.....then i was surprised to see Leroi come in for a little next.....then gave it up to Butch....then leroi and Butch kept going back and forth with the solo.....Sounded awesome, I hope they continue to play it like that

[ziggyosk]

last night it sounded like carter was going to do: hello again > halloween. check out his drum solo on the tapes when they come out. a lot of people started cheering at that part during his solo, but then suddenly got quiet again.
Yeah, I heard it too during night 1. I can see how awesome this would be. I swear he was going into it, but then I wised up and realized it could never happen to me :lol

[ziggyosk]

you do know they've played 48 different songs this tour right?
only 46. Thats counting tonights watchtower, ASTB and Heartbeat

[ziggyosk]

good for them. tell you the truth, i cant stand watchtower closing a show, or anywhere, but yeah, a debut, good.
what are you smoking? :twak :lol

[ziggyosk]

Seriously though, there are ALWAYS two ED song in a set. ALWAYS. It is NOT enough for a show to have ED songs to say that it sucks.
I wouldn't say always, both nights at SPAC only had one ED song each

[ziggyosk]

So? Out of the last three years, how many shows can you find that had less than 2 ED songs?
last year meadows night 1 only had 1 ED song too. I know that just cause i was there. I could find more if i wanted probably

[ziggyosk]

The way they did Watchtower I thought was insane.......Boyd has his usual solo first.....then i was surprised to see Leroi come in for a little next.....then gave it up to Butch....then leroi and Butch kept going back and forth with the solo.....Sounded awesome, I hope they continue to play it like that
thats cause he was having technical difficulties. He kept grabing his headset and looking over at the crew. One of the guys came out and helped him

[maks155]

who else smelled that? dave obviously did- jimi think scat, i picked up: "holy stinky funky man what the hell is that?" i talked to some woman who said she talked to a cop who said that it smelled like a dead human carcass that hadn't been found- decent show- nowhere near as good as night 1- highlights were watchtower, extended snare intro to ants, the hilarious jimi thing scat, too much was good, as was warehouse- wouldnt have minded recently, LIOG or pig- the guy sitting in front of me made my night: after i called grey street (they brought out the 12 string, duh), he kept asking me when they were gonna play what you are- i told him maybe on the encore because he was so annoying- when they started to play watchtower, he was so upset about not getting WYA that he got up and left- too funny.
all in all, a good two night run- here's to not having to go back to hartford again (msg in the winter cough cough)

[giddy]

show was good. night 1 was better. i'm surprised by how much of a positive reaction i did it gets

[MistreatedLewis]

Very good time. More details later.

Dave funked up Too Much tonight... awesome!

[MistreatedLewis]

show was good. night 1 was better. i'm surprised by how much of a positive reaction i did it gets

Hey... I'm just curious, but I only went to night 2... seemed like the better setlist... was the energy better last night or something?

[scoot_14]

I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

[ChrisV784]

well i got home a little while ago. birthday show tonight :) 3rd row. i had a sign that said "20th b-day, 28th DMB show, First Drumstick?" so its time for Carter to give out the sticks, he sees my sign, comes over to me points, tosses the stick, someone tries to grab it from me, it falls to the floor, the security guard picks it up, and gives it to some bitch about 10 people down. carter sees this, looks at me, shakes his head, points to me and says happy birthday. i go up to girl and ask for the stick nicely and she tells me that she doesnt believe its my birthday. she tells me to ask the security guard if i could have it and he wanted nothing to do with it. everyone standing around was telling her to give it to me. she wouldnt. i hope she dies basically. she's a bitch and everyone around said the same thing. if you're the girl who was wearing a black tank top and some khaki colored shorts, i hope you have a miserable life. other than that, the night was amazing. i dunno if any of you saw Dave when they first came on stage, he was twisting his hand....yea, that was towards me, my sign was upside down. :lol

[cmdace18]

yo chris!! i saw you .. i was 7th row, section 300 .... you had a red shirt on? that was funny when dave told you to turn your sign the other way ... haha ... good fuckup

[cmdace18]

didnt you get kicked out too????

[ChrisV784]

i didnt get kicked out. a guy in front of me did.

[cmdace18]

ahhh okay, makes sense now!!

[ChrisV784]

yea i just want my drumstick :(

[MistreatedLewis]

Here's a little rundown:
So Much To Say -- Nice opener. Cool to hear this by itself without ASTB following it for a change.
Rhyme and Reason -- Almost no break between the songs, which is a rarity for DMB. Great but standard version.
Good Good Time -- What a shitty name for a song. I like Hmmm better. Anyway, it was nice, I am curious to see where it goes...
Warehouse -- Rock. Pure rock. They did the salsa-like jam that was featured on CP which I guess they have been doing this entire year but was cool to hear anyway.
Crash Into Me -- Really wanted to hear this. Dave full-voiced the ending. Awesome song.
Joy Ride -- Aside from the lyrics factor, this is a great live song. This is the kind of stuff they needed to get back to a little bit. To all those naysayers, it definitely has the potential to be better than SUAD, if Dave can write some better lyrics.
Grey Street -- Not too bad, but I'm real bored of this one.
Help Myself -- Great song, but it seems like Carter sleeps through the drum solo now, like he did on CP.
Ants Marching -- I was shocked to hear a full snare jam intro mid-set. All kinds of awesome.
Cry Freedom -- I know they've been playing this, but was a sweet surprise for me. Always a treat.
Hello Again -- This song is so fucking good. Can't wait to hear the recording.
Sugar Will -- This is such a fantastic song but it bores the crowd. I guess people don't want to hear a slow, difficult song (i.e. not instantly catchy like Crazy Easy) that they don't know well or at all. The band may want to shelve this one until the album comes out, but I doubt they will. Which is sort of good, because even if nobody else at Hartford enjoyed it, I certainly did.
I Did It -- Well, after Sugar Will, I can honestly say that the crowd was into it.
Too Much -- Actually kind of a surprise after I Did It, and also really great version. Dave rocked the ending harder than I've ever seen.
Jimi Thing -- Holy shit. Dave freestyling. Holy shit. Amazing.
Fool To Think -- Better than WTWE or Everyday, that's all I'm gonna say.
Rapunzel -- Never saw this close a main set before -- works well.
Crazy Easy -- Tonight's performance really made me think better of this tune, but it still needs real lyrics that do not blow goats. Good live song though.
Watchtower -- I was expecting Two Step, but this was fine. No Fire screams, but Boyd's solo more than compensated. Great stuff.

Very nice show... and my only show of the summer most likely.

[Mickey Carson]

So? Out of the last three years, how many shows can you find that had less than 2 ED songs?

I don't feel like looking through the '01 or '02 sets, but since you asked and I'm bored...here are the shows from '03 and so far in '04 that have features 1 or 0 ED songs:

6/24/04
7/2/04
7/3/04
7/13/04
6/24/03
6/26/03
7/13/03
7/30/03
8/1/03
8/25/03
8/30/03
9/11/03
9/16/03
9/20/03

[jmh488]

hey i saw ur sign that was upside down i was in section 100 8th row, but i saw him, and also a lady in front of me had a sign.. "STICK ME" and carter actaully gave her a stick, so i guues he really looks at those signs. Also i thought it was sweet how he gave a lady in front row center something amybe a pick.?....at the end of repunzel

[phunky420]

Hmmm...I guess the trade for this show was having to see "I did it" for watchtower...not sure if its worth it.

The set still looks pretty much the same as the rest of the sets....

Very nice show... and my only show of the summer most likely.nice review

[Dave G]

also: there was this really nasty smell oustide the venue last night, like trash and just... nastiness. apparently the jimi thing scat tonight was about that. :lol

I'm pretty sure it was the landfill, I guess the wind was just right last night :rolleyes:

[xxhurley19xx]

lastnight was a good show. nice to hear crash, and grey street, but i was more surprised to hear watchtower then anything. what a way to end my dmb concert season though. kinda wish they woudl've jammed for alittle bit longer on it but it was still good.


heather - i tried calling u back but my phone was acting funny then my battery died cuz stupid me forgot to charge it from the night before. but thats for calling me though

[crazy_carl]

hey guys. thought you might enjoy this pic from front row on friday. enjoy.

[greppson]

only 46. Thats counting tonights watchtower, ASTB and Heartbeat
dmbalmanac.com... there have been a few teases or things to boost it up to 48;)

[loogs91]

I thought it was a great show, here's my review:
SMTS - Cool opener, and surprised to not hear ASTB afterwards.
R&R - Pretty Standard
Thing - I liked hearing it live, but the crowd didn't seem that into it
Warehouse - Wicked awesome. Roi rpiied this one apart during the latin jam. And he played without the shades on this song, which was odd, he kept puttign them on/off all night.
Crash - Decent version, i was a little surprised to hear it.
Joy Ride - Yeah I really don't understand why people are still 'woo'-ing in the intro. Great song live.
Grey Street - Same as every other time i've heard it
Help Myself - Nice to hear, even though we got it last year. Carter's drum solo definately wasn't as energetic last night.
Ants - So awesome to hear the snare intro, always a great song to hear.
Cry Freedom - I was surprised to hear this one, the crowd liked it alot more than last year, which was good.
Hello Again - Kickass. Carter's drum solo was wicked awesome.
Sugar Will - This song still seems really incomplete to me.
I Did It - It happens. And it's not that bad anymore, really. The band had fun with it, and it brought the energy back after Sugar Will.
Too Much - Dave went nuts with the ending, it was so awesome.
Jimi - Fucking ridiculous. Dave scatted about the smell, (which smelled like what would happen if you took a bag of trash and took a shit in it, then warmed it up), that was hilarious. But even better was the call and response with butch.
Fool To Think - Standard.
Rapunzel - Cool closer, they seem to rock out the jam more when they close with this.
Crazy-Easy - The crowd really like this one tonight. Good energy all around.
Watchtower - Wicked awesome. Stefan's bass solo was a little slower tonight, more calculated, but i liked it better that way. The crowd went nuts on this one, and boyd's solo was awesome. I also liked the improv Roi-Butch solo when Roi's earpiece fell out. After the secodn chorus, the band really rocked it out. I couldn't even hear Dave yell 'No reason to get excited"

Overall, a good show with soem great moments. And yeah, the crowd was out of hand. I've never seen so many people falling down drunk on the way to a show, just as a sidenote.

[nick997k]

This was my 16th show, and my first Hartford shows, and I must say I had a hard time getting into the show tonight, mostly because of the venue and the people I was around. It seemed like a really big teeny bopper and drunk college frat party to me. Way different atmosphere than I have ever been to at a DMB show. Looking at the setlist in retrospect I would say it was a really good show musically. The new songs are developing well after everynight of play, and it seems like the band is getting more and more into them as each night passes.

I think I will like the show better after I hear it on a CD, and this may be my one and only hartford show, unless I get shell seat next year. We'll see....

[wolfdisney]

Great show, nice set, and a terrible smell throughout the night, thought someone shit their pants in my section or that i stepped in dog crap, but when I was walking around I noticed it was everywhere. the Dave scat was a nice touch too, obviously he smelt it too :lol

He4ther I tried calling you back when I got there, but no answer, o well will have to catch up with you guys next time I guess

I agree with all of ur song assessments except:

Crash - not surprising, played it SPAC night 2
Cry Freedom - not surprising, has been playing it a lot
Hello Again - not as good as Hartford night 1, carter's drum solo was not kickass because it lasted for 7 seconds, but it was kickass at night 1
Fool to Think - standard, but also totally unnecessary, and Crazy-Easy shouldve been played in its spot

^good review IMO. I agree with just about every point. The crowd was interesting as always. On a crowd sidenote my little sister and my friends girlfriend actually saw two kids having sex on the lawn on their way back from the bathroom after Sugar Will (and they weren't kidding...details were shared). I always thought people just joked about that happening at the meadows but apparently people become really CLOSE on the lawn :lol

I'd like to add to the review that Ants was a very good jammed out version. Probably the best I've witnessed live. Many of the songs last night were standard songs but they really played them out to their potential.

[ziggyosk]

dmbalmanac.com... there have been a few teases or things to boost it up to 48;)
ur right but i was counting full songs :)

[cpolly07]

'Thing' or 'Good Good Time' was awesome, Jimi Thing was incredible. nice concert

[BustedJeff]

Just got back.

First let me say, good grief Hartford is a shithole. Between all the drunk idiots, hot dog vendors yelling inuendos at everyone (man, give your girl a weenie!), horrible traffic and the overwhelming shit aroma, I don't think I'll be going back next year. Our hotel stunk too, and came with such extras as dead bugs, cigarette burns on everything and free porn (well, I guess you need something to get the hooker in the mood). Anyway, besides being in the middle of a filthy venue, the shows were ok. They weren't the best, but they weren't horrible. I was hoping for more. I would write a review, but there really isn't a reason to.

Also, whoever was complaining about the Two Step chants at SPAC, yes, people were chanting for Two Step last night.

[BustedJeff]

By the way, what's this about a riot? I missed it.

[Mabez]

By the way, what's this about a riot? I missed it.

small fight...the cops ( :babe ) just took it to the next level and shot some tear gas. its not something you want to see at a show...very disappointing

I'd like to add to the review that Ants was a very good jammed out version. Probably the best I've witnessed live. Many of the songs last night were standard songs but they really played them out to their potential.

Ants and Too Much were both solid rock last night. Awesome times. I retract my statement from a few weeks ago about mid-set Ants maybe being better with the direct intro. Fuck the direct intro. Jammed out Ants is the way to be.

[BustedJeff]

small fight...the cops ( :babe ) just took it to the next level and shot some tear gas. its not something you want to see at a show...very disappointing

That's too bad. The crowd at the Meadows always seems to be a bunch of drunk fratboy idiots anyway.

[@WarWithTheMoon]

Who was parked in the Jai Alai lot? That was crazy, anyone see the cops busting tons of kids, and now $25 for the parking. I've never seen so much trash everywhere in my life.

[onid_41]

AMAZING SHOWWWW! i was blown away

[onid_41]

Who was parked in the Jai Alai lot? That was crazy, anyone see the cops busting tons of kids, and now $25 for the parking. I've never seen so much trash everywhere in my life.
i was parked there...after the show the lot was a disaster, people were running over beer bottles with their cars it was a messs

[Fooltothink55]

Tight show last night. Great versions of Watchtower, Warehouse, and Too Much.

[Crumbo]

7-16-04 can be found here.....go get it:)

[rickyh24]

yeah i was in section 700 the second night. Smelt like shit. Really ruined the mood. Someone must have blown chunks. It was a great show though! Night one was great too! Im glad I Went!!

[Stewie]

i think the smell was from a garbage dump. anyone hear dave improv about it during jimi? that was funny.

but someone did throw up, right next to me on the lawn. oh lawn.... never gets old.

[scoot_14]

Who was parked in the Jai Alai lot? That was crazy, anyone see the cops busting tons of kids, and now $25 for the parking. I've never seen so much trash everywhere in my life.

I couldn't believe people paid to park there. I parked in the free lot next to the Jai Lai...there were no cops in our lot, we could do whatever we pleased, and we were closer to the venue getting in and got out of the lot before the Jai Lai. People who parked there got ripped off.

[TwoStepn]

Hey, I was at the show on Saturday. Probably the best show I have ever seen- the setlist was just amazing. The energy was insane, even the people on the lawn rarely sat down. Despite the woman in front of my passing out during the show, it was a great time.
It seemed like the guys kept on addressing some people in the front row. Dave said some stuff to them, shook their hand and did a little jig for them. Stephan even said something to them. Does anyone know who they were?

[sonicdmb41]

Awesome show last night 07/17, lots of good tunes band was really jamming out, overall a very enjoyable night. Great versions of ANTS, Jimi Thing, Watchtower, Rapunzel... . :monkey
Thanks HE4THER for coming over and hanging out in the lot with my group and hooking me up with some solid parking at the Erotic Zone..lol . I dont know the females were making alot of trips into there to " go to the bathroom " ...hahaha.
Anyway great time, look forward to next year. :thumbsup

[He4ther]

hi sonicdmb!!! glad to hear you had a good time. my boyfriend and i decided that they had hidden cameras in the erotic zone bathroom.

we smelled the awful smell over in Sec 800, it was so freakin bad....we moved to the lawn for more air...was worse.

I actually enjoyed night one better than 2 and I liked SPAC better than both. The Meadows SUCKS and DMB shouldn't play there anymore.

Met a lot of cool people...had a good time.

[Mabez]

Who was parked in the Jai Alai lot? That was crazy, anyone see the cops busting tons of kids, and now $25 for the parking. I've never seen so much trash everywhere in my life.


i got busted as soon as i pulled into jai alai....i was in the ambulance. idk if anyone saw us. they made us poor the majority of our beer out and then told us they had to search the car for nitrous...after that they we parked and everything kind of settled down after that. they were definately cracking down on lots of people this year.

[chris41]

Amazing weekend...night one was better than night two but it was great hearing crash warehouse ants and watchtower in the second night....Hello again is becoming one of my favorites, they play it was crazy intensity...

Was it just me or did anyone want to kill themselves during sugar will....it is a real downer during concerts.....also could have done without i did it and fool to think......but other than that good show

How amazing was it when dave broke two strings during night 1 and still went crazy...he was really having fun out there..

[jmh488]

i was 8th row and thse woman in the front row were screamin for him and he was just telling em to calm downt the whole night, at the end he shook her hand and might have gaven her somthing, it was really sweet

[Roi&hisbentsax]

i dunno if any of you saw Dave when they first came on stage, he was twisting his hand....yea, that was towards me, my sign was upside down. :lol

Dude...that sucks about the stick, but i did see the sign thing. That was very funny. I was in sec 300 row g. That was an awesome show. When everyone started pouring into the aisle during watchtower...man...awesome two nights at the meadows.
Jason

[Roi&hisbentsax]

yo chris!! i saw you .. i was 7th row, section 300 .... you had a red shirt on? that was funny when dave told you to turn your sign the other way ... haha ... good fuckup

Where in row g were you? I had seat 210 or something like that. I was there with my brother. I had the BYU hat on...I thought the energy down in sec 300 was awesome. Before NERD came on, Carter walked around the far right of the stage a bit, and only people in our sec could see him (don't know if you were there then). I yelled his name and he waved...it was pretty cool.
Jason

[bjp03]

just got home from sleeping all day on the beach after two days of dmb, and here's my $.02 for anyone who wants it

7/16-pretty standard show (being that the ones in hartford are the only ones i ever see). No songs showed up that I were surprised to see. The highlight for me would have to be Carter's drum solo at the end of Hello Again, eerily reminiscent of what he used to do before Halloween. Got me a little excited with that one. Always love it when they play crush and everyone starts belting out the baaaaaaaaabyyyyyyyyyyyy along with dave, so that was another positive.
7/17-A completely different story. With the threat of rain looming overhead, and lightning flashing over the roof of the pavillion the crowed was getting really pumped. The energy level was amazing right from the beginning, (despite the fact that they didnt go into ASTB after SMTS like i was hoping to hear). I can't wait for the recording of Jimi Thing not only for the scat/ramble at the end (has he been doing that this summer) but because of the pause he put in the middle of the first verse where the rest of the crowed continued singing anyways. I would have liked to see Crazy/Easy somewhere earlier in the show (not because i dont like it, but because i feel it unfortunately took a lot of energy out of the crowed because they didnt know it, and everyone was waiting for a huge encore). A sweet (although short) Watchtower made up for it though. There were a couple of bad moments supplied by crowed though, like the kid next to me who passed out during the second song and they had to get a stretcher to get him out of there. The moron couldnt have been older than 18, and had three people with him it looked like who had wristbands on, so someone has to be the responsible party there. It not only sucked 'cause the kid puked, but because they had to shine the spotlight on him from over the fence which was right in the corner of all of our eyes making it hard to see. I also so that lady who was passed out right in front of the walkway on the right side of the lawn so everyone had to step over her to get out. Effin idiot.
I'm sorry I repeated anything that has been said in here already. I havent read all the posts.
PS. If those people are in here who were standing by the bathrooms up on the lawn it was sweet getting to see Butch sitting by the busses. Thanks for helping my blind ass find him. Getting him to wave back to us was pretty damn cool too.

someone was claiming a "tears in heaven" tease before WWYS... i'm pretty sure it wasn't. it was just the "improv" riff from 6.17.

I Thought Friday Night Was Amazing. Satalite Was A Nice Surprise ! Wish I Could've Gone Both Nights!
I HOPE EVERYONE GOT TO MEET A FEW ANTS, THE PARKING THING KINDA SCREWED US UP. WE PARKED NEAR MOTEL 6. HAD SOME GREAT BURGERS AND BEER. I WAS PASSING OUT CHERRIES BUT SOME PEOPLE JUST DID'T GET IT. WHEN I PASSED BY THE REGISTER TO VOTE GUYS I SCREAMED CHERRIES FOR KERRY!
THEY ENJOYED THEM, BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME BRING THEM IN, DUMB RULES!!

Two good shows, I enjoyed the weekend. Didn't even have to deal with any of the police/riot issue because we had a room, ended up relaxing watching sportscenter in the hotel bar after the shows! All in all I thought both shows were pretty solid and on a whole this weekend was one of the most fun DMB stands I have done it years. And I realized this was the tenth summer of DMB at the Meadows for me... ten years, I was actually a bit taken back with that... I'm getting old!!

We had 200 B for night one (plus the two girls in the front row were sitting down the whole show so we had a front row view pretty much... too much to drink?) unfortunetly the mess they refer to as 'Will Call' was just a big sick joke this year. I missed like five songs and when I got in line they hadn't even hit the stage yet. What was the problem there, shit took me over 45 minutes in line! There's gotta be a better way....

What was up with these shows being such a tough ticket? I've never seen it thsi bad in Hartford. The couple next to us had paid $1120 for the pair on night one, lawns were going for $80-$100 outside, at least the scalpers union guys were charging that anyhow! and night two was even worse... three people I went up with didn't even end up getting in!

[bjp03]

since i dont check the bridge that often can someone let me know if there is video from any of the past hartford shows out there? did you see anyone getting either of the shows from this weekend?

oh man that was you!?! HAHAHA ... i said no to you and then prolly gave you a funny look! I doubt you remember but i was wearing a bright green John Dear shirt. Sorry for saying no but mommy told me never to take candy (or cherries) from a stranger!

[rickyh24]

did anyone get a camera into the meadows and sneek some good pics? id like to take a look email me rickyh24@yahoo.com two great shows!! now i have to get back to reality and go back to work tommorow.... :BANG

[firedwarftj]

being one of the lucky ones this weekend, we learned from previous years the best and safest places to park ... we ran into no police or riot troubles either night ... now onto the shows ... one word ... AMAZING, my 3 and 4 shows of the summer. I liked breaking out of two songs on the tour during the stop in hartford. when i left hartford on sat night i was so thrilled to be ending me dmb summer tour on a good note ... watchtower ... but i'm now debating tickets for carson ca.

[MistreatedLewis]

I am going to say it. Crash Into Me is one of their best live songs. Top 20. I'm standing by that. It was awesome at Meadows.

It may not be Two Step but it's fucking good.

[minigunmorgan4]

wait for the explosion...

[cmdace18]

Where in row g were you? I had seat 210 or something like that. I was there with my brother. I had the BYU hat on...I thought the energy down in sec 300 was awesome. Before NERD came on, Carter walked around the far right of the stage a bit, and only people in our sec could see him (don't know if you were there then). I yelled his name and he waved...it was pretty cool.

did anyone like sugar will?? of all the new songs this one im not getting used to yet...Hello again on both nights blew me away and im starting to love it a lot, and crazy/easy and joy ride are amazing already...any thoughts about sugar will?

[saxman1083]

2 Great Shows!! It was all capped off with getting to see the buses leave on night 2. I was screaming at them by the Mercedes dealership and saw Carter smile and wave at me from the window of his bus. That was sweet!

Oh by the way....who was the guy that stole my avatar saying and put it on a poster on night 1?? Saw it on the screen and everyone seemed to like it due to the applause. At least that guy now belongs to MY church :lol

I like sugar will alot. It isn't complete and i dont think we can totally judge the song either way yet. They all are still a work in progress. Hello Again is my fav now, but i like all of them, they grow on me more and more, which is great.

just in case anyone doesnt know the medows is an old land fill and the grass area and the slope of the venue is all because of the land fill so when you get lawn tickets its like paying 45 bucks to sit on a pile of garbage and watch a concert you can barely see

[Guitardude95]

anyone know what the fuck that smell was that kept seeping into the meadows every ten minutes night two? I think Dave noticed it too cuz he started scatting about "that smell" in jimi thing. The whole fucking city stunk for some reason like ten year old garbage/shit.

[bbrianblaze]

Aight my Meadows peeps... a few quick words before work does this--> :twak to me today!!!

Enjoyed both Fri and Sat a ton! Met Jason (greppson) and Heather (He4ther) on Friday (pic attached). :thumbsup

Sat had a poor start to the evening. I finished up at the family picnic-type thing in time to possibly tailgate... but on the way there my car starting crapping out (like it was gonna stall and the dash instruments went dead... battery/alternator issues I'm guessing). Long story short, it died as I was 100 ft from the lot (right next to a cop). He helped me push it out of the way then was a bit "moody" about getting the thing out of there or else it would be towed. So, no beers before the show on Sat as I worked through all of the logistics to get it gone. Still... 9th row center made up for all of that!!!!!!!!!!!
:bounce

ps Got a ride home from a friend (the one I went with to the concert on Fri).



Edit: That's (l to r) Jason, Heather and me. And I discovered that shirt makes me look about 30 lbs heavier... :freak

[greppson]

brian is good peoples.:)

[bbrianblaze]

hi sonicdmb!!! glad to hear you had a good time. my boyfriend and i decided that they had hidden cameras in the erotic zone bathroom.

we smelled the awful smell over in Sec 800, it was so freakin bad....we moved to the lawn for more air...was worse.

I actually enjoyed night one better than 2 and I liked SPAC better than both. The Meadows SUCKS and DMB shouldn't play there anymore.

Met a lot of cool people...had a good time.


Awwww... :(

Honestly, from my seats (sorry if that sounds like I'm bragging... but anyway) I couldn't really smell anything too "strong". And I love the Meadows!!! I'm sure everyone has their favorite venues for various reasons, but I like my "hometown" concert destination.


ps I did "see" Julia21 driving by and wave but I wasn't really counting that as I "met" her. Then my phone went dead. Then He4ther dropped our crew like 8am Quantum Physics class when the better offer *coughJuliacough* phoned her.

:lol
