The timing was awful early on and they knew it. It was kind of funny to watch and listen to. You could see the look on Dave's face. Way out of whack. They recovered half way through though. The jam was sweet. Good effort. Lol a little practice wouldnt kill this one

[Roose13]

About fucking time they played this. Another song that would crush it in the acoustic setting with Tim's acoustic work.

Or consistent play.

[cry_minarets458]

I will never understand what is going through the band members' heads.

[SpotlightEyes]

Lol good grief. Dave definitely regretted that pace when he started the first verse.

[BruceW]

Dave didn't set the pace, Carter did. He came in and ruined it. It's almost like Carter said well this song is slow and people and gonna go piss so Im gonna make it sound like Belly Belly!

[Dannyyankou]

Maybe the teleprompter was too fast and Dave was trying to keep up with it.

[BruceW]

When did the pace change? When Carter came in...he played it too fast...hopefully if they give it another go, they will have that sorted out

[DreamingStreets]

Dreaming Tree is one of their greatest pieces of studio work, in my opinion. Part of the reason it's probably not performed live is because it would be so hard to replicate such an amazing song onstage.

Yeah, the majority of BTCS, except for PNP/Rapunzel, DDTW, Stay and Crush are pretty rare. Which sucks cause, as I believe nearly all of us agree, it's their best album.

It's up there with Spoon for their greatest studio songs.

Thanks for responding...hey, I haven't been able to contact any board admins...so I still can't make topics. It's sooooooooooooooooo frustrating!!!

[boleebar]

just about the only way that song could actually be bad is to play it fast like that... if that is the new pace they should shelve it again

[yankeesdrummer]

Slow. It. The. Hell. Down.

I mean wow, I'm listening to the tape from the 8/22/14 show and my god, it's like they're racing to finish the damn song. I know they don't play it too often, but it's probably tied as my favorite DMB song along with DDTW, which too is waaaay too fast. No idea if this is gonna be a new thing for this one but I sure hope it's not. The slowly steady steady bass line from Fonz is so lost in this version. No me gusta

[crashintonickdm]

Very bad performance

[barbogast]

I wonder if Dave didn't realize quite how fast he was playing the opening riff and by the time everyone else came in it was too late. Because while everything the band plays now is played faster than it used to be, Dreaming Tree was extreme. Like unbelievably noticeable to the point where it didn't really sound good anymore. I would like to think it was more of a fuck up than what they were going for.

Either way, play the damn song more often and it won't sound so shitty when they do

[LetYouDown22]

Carter came in and kicked up the speed a couple notches.

[Funkhouser]

is there a video? not trying to download this to listen to how bad it is

Just listened to the intro of the song again, Dave sounded like usual as did Jeff. It was when Carter came in things seem to fly off the track. Surprised Dave didn't try to change the pace a little when the first verse started.

[barbogast]

Yeah, just listened again as well. It was Carter. There's a huge change of pace when he hits

Very noticeable here.

[Jordan#41]

Maybe they should have played Belly Belly Nice (24 plays) less in order to give The Dreaming Tree some attention that it so greatly deserves.

It's in the Electric Set compilation I put together - http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/sh...&postcount=910

Just find the link for Dreaming Tree and you can stream it from there.

Thanks.

Sounds awful

[dancheatham]

Shortest full-band version since 8/7/03 (because it was played so fast).

[mposey34]

sounds about right for this year

[socopithy]

Really does give the song an odd sound. If someone's skilled enough, try slowing it down and raising the pitch back to "normal" - that'd sound interesting lol

[DannoMac21]

Unlistenable at points. Everyone seems so confused
