The dude that made the mistake (or whatever) found one for me. But it was kinda shady- neither of our tickets scanned at the gate. I think security took pity on us though cause we had be sitting on that frickin BLACK TAR with NO SHADE for 3 hours before they opened. They let us in.

I was one person behind the rail to Dave's right. Pretty much right in front of Tim.

I can't wait to listen to these shows again.

What were your favorite parts/songs/highlights?

[jasonfilatov]

gonna take credit for the Game of Thrones Interpolation in Watchtower...

Jason Filatov May 16
@slessard i'm thinking you use the game of thrones intro song as an intro to bartender or blackjack this summer...maybe a watchtower intro.

How was Brandi Carlile? I could back read, but I'm drunk. I love that woman and am seeing her at Red Rocks in less than a month. In fact, I almost flew to Camden just to watch her open up for DMB. Anybody see her?

[Fatoldsun]

2 d-bags and their drunken date were laughing all night, throwing popcorn at people, and falling drunk all over others in the loge section. They were obnoxious. I ripped about two dozen Taco Bell vapors in their general direction throughout the show and I hope they continually got some nice whiffs of my musk. Sorry for the dude next to me who had to tolerate that.

Great show! #16 for me, I think. Shotgun, of course, First Grace is Gone full band and a seriously awesome run from Nancies >end. Thank you DMB! Can't wait for Bethel tomorrow!!

[Drumlax15]

Did anyone get setlists?

[DMBstandUP1984]

anyone have a vid of space between?

[After_Her_36]

Have not watched it yet but I'm sure it's decent if Copperpot put it up.

Ok, maybe I did something wrong while converting, but I'm a bit disappointed in the quality of this taping.
Kinda sounds like a tunnel.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by the D&T Boone show taping which is absolutely amazing and also the last show I've grabbed..

Any advice on how to clean it up, or if that's even possible?

[JenIvy]

Ps~ I hope I didn't offend anyone by that.. I do truly appreciate the tapers!
I'm just old & picky, I guess.

[jsfoster117]

My friends let me guest write an article for their blog in which i reviewed the show the other night...check it out!

I fucking HATE OOMH. I've heard it 4 times. 4. I've heard Pig, LIOG, Crash Into Me, hell even took me 8 shows to hear Nancies. I've heard OOMH 4 times. That is not OK with me.

That's because your first show was in 2010.

[OpenUpYourHead]

anybody else think dave was playing blackbird when he started on the piano N2? i know hes played that in the past and the little intro he did before OOMH sounded very similar.

Did you notice the incident involving a couple in their 30's or so and a security guard right as the encore started? The security guard went insane and was totally inappropriate. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

[Wicked_Me]

I went to both nights, lawn the first night and seats the next. I was in 202 row H for N2 and could not have been happier. I went with my gf and friends the first night and just my gf on the second night.
I have always had crazy/weird experiences on the lawn in camden but this year was total shit. The people in the lawn are always drunk college/high school douche bags that ruin everything for everyone. I have always had trouble with drunk guys but on this very night it was drunk chicks, either squeezing in right in front of my group and stopping unaware of their surroundings or just recklessly meandering through us with their always large crowd of other drunk chicks just accompanying their other drunk friends to the bathroom. This shit needs to stop and so does the always present group of assholes that throw glow sticks. STOP THROWING GLOW STICKS!!! I have never been around so many entitled, unpleasant fuck heads in my life. I do not understand why people are not polite or why they are not aware of manners. O and an added bonus, they ladies standing next to us were older, rather chill, seemed like they have been fans for awhile, but they were also douche bags. I tried to start a friendly conversation, as I always do (I like talking to people and when I say like I mean LOVE), and they were extremely short and stuck up. So, as you can see, I have drunk girls constantly whirling by with their posses, drunk assholes to the right of me and stuck up assholes to the left and my favorite band playing as this goes on. It was bittersweet.

So the second night comes and it goes without a hitch. My gf and I get to camden, no problems. We were only worried about one thing, old people sitting around us. We wanted to burn and thought if old people were around us, they would care or tell us to stop. We get to our seats and were amazed by the view of the stage, perfect seats. We wait around and the head and the heart come on, they were very good btw. So its halfway through their set and an ugly couple come sit in front of us, about my age 21-22. They are drinking, the girl a mixed drink, the guy a beer of some shitty variety. They stay there for about 15 min, get up and go. They return around when THATH stopped playing. Now she has no drink in hand and he still has a beer. They are talking and then get into an argument. "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO DRUGS TO HAVE FUN!", she says between tears as he tries to hold back a smile, turning into a smirk. She continues to cry and then says "I want to leave. I want to leave now." They get up, leave and never came back. Thank you for the perfect view you crazy, hypocrite lady, thank you very much. I had one of the best laughs of my life too, so thank you for that as well. To the guy, break up with that crazy, hypocrite bitch because holy shit, she was insane. Overall, the second night had its gems, just like the first but i will never forget this show. It was only my 7th in all but i was elated. THANK YOU DMB!! "Rashawn on the xylophone, jeff on the xylophone, on the xylophone, tim reynolds, boyd tinsley on the xylophone and on the marimba, carter beauford!"

[crashintonickdm]

typical was great from n1. probably the best performance of the 2 shows.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Seek Up was up there also.

[jlbaseball03]

did anyone get a video of seek up?

[OoYeahTrafikJam]

anyone got pictures?..... specifically of rashawn in the vick jersey? thanks

[Matt4141]

I thought both shows were good, but I was especially excited to hear the songs from N2. You Never Know is great & so many people really value the lyrical content. Shotgun is one of my all time faves, ANY era. To see it up close and personal will be something I always remember. The run to end the show was great and So Damn Lucky is tremendous. I understand that Tim can overplay at times, but his effects towards the end of SDL and into Halloween were on target. LOVED it!

N1 had some nice moments... but people have pointed out that Mercy drags on. Could not agree more! Unless you are in the pit and can see nuance and have a good bunch of people around you, then most people just ignore the end of the song. This is what happened at my seats on N1 during Mercy - sit down, twitter, chat, etc etc etc ... I try to not let my surroundings affect me, but it's incredibly tough during the end of Mercy.

I'm sure we'll all be screaming for the Mercy outro 6 years from now, when it's rare and blah blah blah.... fans can be so fickle! Myself included, surely!

Great 2 night stand. Loved the Camden shows. Felt they did a great job of mixing in some rarely played tunes & also made sure that standards got some airtime. Wouldn't have changed much at all. Good times!

[spoot388]

i was in the pit in the 1st/2nd row both nights. night 2 was fantastic. in the past i got a stick from carter because i had a sign and night 1 i got a pick from dave with a sign, so night 2 i had a sign for jeff that said "jeff, can i have a saxophone? please?" he played along by pretending to toss me his soprano sax during satellite. we both got a laugh out of it. someone actually got it on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJh76...ailpage#t=647s


also, i met rashawn, tim, and lawlor after the show. i talked to lawlor for like a half hour, which was pretty cool.

[Dave&Tim41]

Does anyone have a pic of the N1 set? It's the only one missing on the Almanac, and I want to see if they cut/added any songs.
