When I hear it I think of Listener Supported. Although Denver 2000 comes to mind as well.

He literally says it all the time

Yeah but the point is a "fanatic" would know it's from Listener Supported, as opposed to someone who went to a random show and heard him say it because he says it a lot. So those who say "he says it all the time" in reference to the link, are missing the point.

[barbogast]

I took it as the "significance" meaning he can smell weed. I am aware he says it right at the beginning of LS, but I didn't think that was the "significance" the article was talking about. Since he says it all the time

Well I suppose the significance is subjective. I gave no thought to anything but LS. I've been to 66 shows and I'd say I remember him saying that maybe 4 times.

Thank you...im aware he recognizes weed in the venue but come on, thats the phrase right in front LS

[tommy mandone]

Otherwise any casual fan would get that, and its supposed to be about fanatics!!!!

[Gene Parmesan]

The answer is weed. If he said it rarely, then maybe it is in reference to LS. But he says it every other show.

[cornnuts]

This is easy to solve guys. Post a video of him saying it.

[Climb2safety]

I always thought he was talking about boyds pit sweat.

[cooke726]

I love Jimi Thing....I wouldnt mind if it took a year off, but Its still a classic DMB song for me. I despise Sexy MF

13 things for me. And I didn't know hating Jimi Thing, a staple for 20 years, made you a real fan. Dumb list.

Casual fans have probably heard one of the most popular releases. Fanatics have probably heard shows other than what is released and realize it's not at all specific to LS.

Probably not.

You know you're a diehard dmb fan when you're watching the north carolina-duke game thinking about when dave played #41 for the first time.
