Tailgating essentials

As the tour is starting up I have been getting my tailgating necessities ready. Originally it seemed every year we thought of something we wished we had brought, but the past few years we have gotten it right.

I did a quick search and did not see any threads on this, just curious of some of everyone's tailgating must haves.

Personally, the cooler and music is most important. However recent trips we have put an emphasis on the tailgating menu and grill.

    Might wanna switch this out of the DMB Past Tour Discussion, I don't think many people look in here.

    Gonna move this to DMBc. As mentioned above, there's not much traffic in the Past Tour sub-forum.

    This should be in everyone's car always.

    I'm shocked when people don't have them.

    Any variety of Sam Adams is acceptable . . .

    I have a cornhole board that I put a couple brackets on the side of and used some PVC pipe for legs so now it doubles as a table. Perfect for my little camping grill and all the other tailgate type food and when you're done grubbin you just pop the legs off and it's cornhole time . . . It's cats ass.

    Cooler
    Ice
    Bottle Opener
    Beer
    Liquor
    Wine
    Mixers
    Water
    Soda
    Cups
    Plates
    Forks
    Knives
    Napkins/Paper Towels
    Garbage Bags
    Condiments
    Grill
    Food
    Snacks
    Spatula Set
    Table
    Chairs
    Canopy
    Ponchos
    Yard Games
    TICKETS

    I'm gonna put together a menu for each tailgate at Hartford, just haven't decided yet. Probably something simple Friday, then do it up right on Saturday when there's more time. I'll have everything ready for the weekend on Thursday, so I don't have to rush day of.

    This thing is one of the best investments I've ever made.

    Edit: the best part is telling the 100 people who ask you to use it sorry, but no.

    Re: Tailgating essentials

    on the way to the show or when tailgating, whats everyones go to DMB music? The newer shows? or the older shows? Studio maybe?

    9/13/00 is going to get blasted during the day cuz its probably one of my favorite all time shows. Then ill pull a older show from the venue and jam to that for a bit. For example on the way to 5/24/16 (oak mountain) I jammed to 8/18/98 (also an oak mountain show). I Love the anticipation of a dmb show!

    I’ve always likened that to scarfing down some Ho-Hos before going out for a fine steak dinner.

    No DMB to pre-game a DMB show. Increasingly almost no music the day of a show period, im getting older and my ears fatigue out faster. Gotta stay fresh for the show.

    Have always disagreed with this. As well as the don't wear the band you're seeing's shirt. Both are just really "get off my lawn" outlooks.
