Re: *Official United Center/Chicago thread!*

While it wasn't the best show I have ever seen, I still had an absolute blast. I reeeeeeally enjoyed the aftw songs and thought they kicked ass live. Loved the intro to Ants and Christmas song in the E1 spot. There were some songs I would have changed out but still enjoyed jamming out to them all! Plus it being my bday and then getting to meet Boyd after the show, truly made for a day I will never forget.

I am not a huge Cornbread guy and know it is hated by most on these boards but wow it got a strong response from the crowd when the band went into it after Spaceman. Def enjoyed Dave's dancing to it.

and like has been said before, glowsticks suck. When it is clear the boys don't like them, I have no clue why some "fan" would still bring them to a show. that really blows my mind

All in all great time and already can't wait for next summer.

    I shot the Chicago show and got permission from Boyd afterwards that I could post the pics where ever! Later tonight I'll post them on here. I have also posted them in DMB group on FB called DMB Family. Stay tuned for pics or check them out on FB.

    Dave should have replaced Shake Me instead of DDTW that was really the song I went into the show wanting to hear that had a chance of being played....

    Probably the worst show of 2012 but hey a show is a show.

    My review of the show is this. I thought it was a good show. I enjoy their shows no matter what. I spent 5 songs after the first 3 editing pics I just taken and I'd look up from time to time and think, "That's cool." or "Wow, that's a pretty solid version of that." I was more surprised they busted out Christmas Song. And Drunken Soldier is going to be a monster song for them live. My only complaint is that of the glow sticks. They should just have security take them as people walk in. This isnt Bonnaroo or a Phish, (only times to me, besides a rave, is when they're acceptable.)

    But over all I enjoyed it. I was singing along and dancing as I was editing pics, so I can't complain.

    Here is my video of the beginning of Ants Marching, shot from way up above... http://youtu.be/9GJVx879jyE

    Its was cool to see Dave having fun, chatting with Carter and dancing around for the beginning of the song. In my opinion it was one of the best performed songs of the night, which isn't saying much since they should be able to play this song in their sleep.

    Great video! Such a great solo by Boyd! All is not lost.

    Yep, for sure. But the lighting and Carter's fills ASSURED it was SG. Nope, fucking GD. Terrible. Worst concert I've been to. Especially after Louisville was so good, I thought they'd mix the set and explode in Chicago with it being only 4 or so hours apart.

    Why do people not like Gravedigger? Theres a reason it won a Grammy (even though for the most part the grammies are stupid)

    Did you guys think the #36 in Mercy was as cool as I did. Theres a DMBc thread about it and they all hated it.
    Just another reason why not to go in DMBc for me. so depressing

    I did like the #36 in Mercy. I was watching the band when they were doing that and at the end Dave looked out and clapped at the audience. I thought the whole concert was very good. I even liked it when Dave messed up Shake me. I had great seats at the side. Couldn't have been much better, you could see everything and the sound was excellent.

    I will be honest. I didn't much care for Mercy outro. I did appreciate the band's recognition though! Thought the set sucked. Awesome venue! I had higher hopes coming off of a great LVille show night before. There were 12 repeats! Not cool.

    Venue was fucking huge. My arena at home could probably fit on the floor in the UC.

    I couldn't see Jeff from our seats but I kept telling my buddy that this place is going to explode if they go into SG. I wasn't thrilled about the show either but oh well. I was happy how the new songs sounded at least.

    Yes! It was overwhelming after seeing them the night before in the Yum Center (which I thought was a decent sized venue). The UC is amazing! We have the equivelant here in STL for the Blues NHL team, and it is much smaller. However, we don't have basketball. So that could be why it's a good size bigger as well.

    Yes, I thought it was going to erupt! The set was bland and slow. My lease fav of 34(ish) shows. The new stuff is AWESOME live. Such a bummer over 2 nights of seeing them I didn't get Broken Things, Gaucho, Belly Full or If Only on AN ALBUM TOUR after they play it cover to cover in N1 of a 2 nighter....wtf? SUCH a love/hate with this band's sets.

    UC is big because of the Bulls. The Blackhawks just got lucky haha, but now the stadium fills up for them too after they won the cup

    I thought the show did exactly what it needed to at the time. I got to see some AFTW that I didnt catch this summer. I mean obviously the set wasnt glamorous and it was probably the worst Ive ever seen, but I didnt really notice at the time.

    Looking at Bostons set it hurts a little now though
