The Numbers at the Mini 2012 Tour Break

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 6/18/12 2:32pm

The real break for the 2012 Dave Matthews Band tour is toward the middle of July, after the West Palm Beach shows. But in a rarity for DMB, the band has four days off before heading to the arena formerly known as Deer Creek to continue the 2012 tour.

So what do the stats look like so far? If you're not familiar with the stats page in Tour Central, we'll break it down. Slowly. So far, in the 19 shows, 80 different songs have been played. The only full covers have been All Along The Watchtower and A Whiter Shade of Pale, but the most memorable by far was the Brass Monkey performance from Night 2 at Jones Beach. Not surprisingly, a new song leads the way for most plays; Mercy. Eh Hee is the 'old' song with the most plays, with 10 appearances out of 19 shows. Among the notable one-shot performances, Drive In Drive Out, Pig, One Sweet World and, surprisingly, Stay all have a lone appearance.

As of this story, two shows are rated at 4.66 - the highest of the 19. Hartford night 2 and Virginia Beach share the honor (for now). And not surprisingly, Halloween is at both shows. Halloween has five plays thus far, and all the shows are rated at 4.35 or higher by you, the fan. Blossom is the lowest Halloween show so far.
