I love your enthusiasm for Dave! I actually always visit with my Mom who is 62. She is a HUGE DMB fan! We don't share many interests together, but this is one we will always have. I sat in the back of the pavilion with her in Tampa. I swear, I watched her sining and dancing more than the show. We both agreed this was our favorite show!

BUT, we really hated the poster in Tampa. Too creepy.

How do we get the WPB second night poster? The one with the flamingos? We live in Orlando and one of her other favorite things is to visit SeaWorld and see the flamingos!

I would gladly trade a SeaWorld or Busch Gardens ticket for a WBP second night poster!

Thanks much from us both!! Keep on rocking to the greatest band in the world!

welcome to ants! but fuck seaworld

I saw one on Friday, but my seats Saturday weren't down close enough to see any mics. I am thinking likely there was.

Also, I did not make it inside in time to grab a poster on Saturday...

99% sure I Eric (newscane) set up in Section 3 on N1, and I know that's where he was for N2.

coombse · 08-02-2015, 04:33 PM

Eric taped entire run. Set up in my seats friday and had same area yesterday.

illinifan · 08-02-2015, 04:54 PM

How was the attendance this year? Just wondering since everyone in the C are complaining about attendance levels.

Thank you. That is great to hear. Two amazing nights. Adding in Halloween on N2 was epic

N1 was definitely not sold out, or at least, it was not full. Part of that could have been the weather, but there was a big open patch of lawn on Boyd's side. N2 sure looked like a sellout.

Tampa sold a lot of tickets that week and attendance was decent on lawn. We went up there from pit during acoustic set cause pit was brutally hot.

Both nights of west Palm sold out. Tickets Friday were not available although there were holes in lawn as described.

Great to hear thanks!

Danwack · 08-02-2015, 08:18 PM

Does Dave always say "Roi" when handing off to the jam during Typical? I know he did this back when Leroi was alive, of course. It really hit me in the gut when he said "Roi" in WPB. Or was I just imagining it?

N2 sold out and N1 was packed besides one part of the lawn way back in the corner stage right.

TheAssistant · 08-02-2015, 08:57 PM

I was so, so terrified they were gong to end N2 with Rapunzel. After closing WP shows in both 12' and 13' with it and them running over on curfew, I was dreading walking away from this one with that anti-climactic "eh.. good set but weak close.." feeling. When the started on PNP, my attitude was basically any song after Rapunzel would've saved it for me, but when they ran it into Halloween I nearly lost my voice cheering. Talk about going the extra mile for the fans! What an epic end to the best FL run since 2010.

Yes it has been. I'll make it back to SPAC someday

Tomacco · 08-03-2015, 06:22 AM

I was at these shows, and loved them greatly. Given the talk about Boyd on LIOG though, listening to the tape, his solo is pretty awful-sounding. Being there it was a whole lot of fun and energy, but yeah, this one will definitely not win over anyone on tape, heh.

I had almost the EXACT same feeling and I wouldn't let myself hope for Halloween. I just started coming to terms with them ending on Rapunzel and I was kinda feeling it anyway. But even as the jam was coming to a close I just felt stumped, couldn't help but keep thinking about how the whole tone of N2 was PERFECT for Halloween. I lost my face and voice when they started playing it. Was anyone else scared Dave was going to rip a damn vocal chord or pop his neck vein?! Great run, horrible weather, but awesome time.

littlest_viking · 08-03-2015, 07:42 AM

Great weekend, now back to reality. I am doing my part to stream the torrents for the show. Make sure you do the same so everyone can download them.

ukcanes · 08-03-2015, 08:03 AM

Had a great weekend @ WPB. Even with the rain the shows were awesome. See ya'll next year

uconn99 · 08-03-2015, 11:18 AM

First time in South Florida and enjoyed my time. The rain was a bit of a bummer but the at least it cooled it down a bit. First time on the lawn in probably 15 years and I enjoyed it more than I thought. Will be back next year for sure!

Jake · 08-03-2015, 11:26 AM

What the hell are you people talking about? The rain made it the coolest in WPB ever. That's the best we've ever had it there!

I was prepared for the worst. Have heard you talk about how hot it always is there for years. It was perfect. I never once felt hot at all. It wasn't even that humid after the storms. Very comfortable

mthawk07 · 08-03-2015, 11:56 AM

Only year I've been at WPB was '12, and it was brutally hot. I think I sweated enough to end the drought in California.

jsolomon · 08-03-2015, 04:01 PM

Traveled from MA, N2 was a better show than SPAC N2, and Im a SPAC lover. Only thing, WPB crowd could afford to be a little louder.

cheftimsmith · 08-03-2015, 04:35 PM

Poster for N1 WPB just went up in Matt Fleming's Etsy store. He has 21 prints left as of now, in case anyone missed out and wanted one. $40

Also Boyd was VERY into the music this weekend. He was nodding and air bassin' all night:

Thanks for the heads up! I haven't bought a poster in years, but the colors and design on that one are nice. Had to pick one up.

Definitely agree. Saw everyone yelling and rocking out and I was left wondering if I was the only person hearing that he was repeating the same three note riff, off-tempo
