best show i've hever seen! pig opener was cool. i loved hearing warehouse...it's one of my favs. the woo's really get u goin. proudestmonkey was neat..i was especially excited singing "I AM THE PROUDEST MONKEY" cause it's my email address. before i left my campground for the show i was informed the band played my fav. faster tune stjl. i was mad. i heard it vaglly(sp?) at hershey durring the sound check last yr. but that wasn't enough. i was mad. i said i'd need a good show. by now it was gettin there. #41 my favorite dmb song ever was played and played beautifully! it was all ok! i was moved to tears when they started the tune. it was magical!loving wings is a good tune. i love the lyrics but the music still needs some work. ants was a cool closer.
the encore.
dave alone...ok it's ain't it funny. i called nancies but that was on my dreamlist for the night. it's not comming my dream tune never comes out they're all to crazy. everyone was right yet agian.......oh my god! no he isn't that can't be...can it....it is holy god its nancies! don't be a tease please! it's the whole thing the first entire nancies in how long! i was there for the return! wooooooohooooooooo!
next tune. boyd's wah comes out they're doin everyday yep that's it everyday. then the chant TWO STEP CLAP CLAP! TWO STEP CLAP CLAP!. we just changed the set! 25,000 of us changed the set. boyd's plucking away and we're in two step! yeah-hhhhhhhoooooooo! it's an awsome two step at that!
now the 50th layer of icing on the cake. as i'm leaving and walking down the street i see a bus comming i see dave's head. i now it's him cause i see the same shirt he had on durring the show. another bus comes by. OH MY GOD CARTER IS WAVING OUT THE WINDOW! i can't belive it THANK YOU DMB FOR THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!

This was the very first DMB show I attended with my friend who was a huge fan. The fan interaction was incredible; everyone was so friendly and genuinely just wanted to experience an amazing night together. I instantly fell in love with DMB on this night! It was one of the most profound concert experiences I have ever had.

#41 incredible, enough with the 2step chant, I think dave's getting tired of the crowd running the show.

Review:
Good show. I REALLY wish they had done Watchtower..(my fav) - - they started to for the encore.. then everyone was cheering for Two Step... so, they did it.. it is nice to know they care what the audience wants to hear. But isnt it true that they like to spend time and really develop a set list, and what they do and put toegether has a certain flow? Oh well. it was an OK show, not my favorite.. unless you are inside at SPAC... you really need to find a nice seat on the lawn.. tough to do!

Simply amazing show! Best I've seen! Setlist was spectacular, energy was superb, and crowd was into it. Highlights were #41, So Right, solo Dancing Nancies and a bouncy One Sweet World. Actually the whole show was a highlight (minus I Did It and Where Are You Going)

This was my first DMB show. I must admit I only went because a group of my friends were. I wasn't a fan at the time and didn't know many of their songs. However, while i was watching the incredible live show I fell in love and am now a huge fan. Being there with my friends and sharring the experience was one of the best days of my life. I will never forget it.

Absolutely an incredible show. My good friend and I made the trip to Saratoga for both nights and the second blew the first night out of the water. The band always puts on a great show for SPAC (see 7.30.01) and they did not fail to impress opening with an intensely energetic Pig and then Warehouse, setting the tone for the evening to follow. The setlist was incredible and I didn't dtop dancing the full length of the concert. Capping the night off was a beautiful, but not unexpected, Dancing Nancies Dave solo followed by a 16-minute Two Step at the request of the crowd, changing the original encore of Gravedigger and Everyday completely. I can't stop listening to the show. This was one night that I will never forget, the best DMB concert I have seen yet and a great time with my very good friends, it also helped that I was 6th and 16th row the two nights.

OMG what a show is all I can say. I will only give a quick overview. Pig was a cool opener since I have never heard the song in person. Warehouse was fun with the whole whooooo-stop time into. Grey street was awesome as always. Other show highlights in my opinion where Prodest MOnkey, DAncing Nancies (1st time played in over 14 monthes), Kit kat jam, Two step. Great show all in all this was my first time to SPAC nice place just tough to see on the lawn.

PIG is an awesome opener... i loved the long jams in #41... dave changed the closer when the crowd started chanting "2 step, 2 step..." & so he gave us a 14 min. long two step! (along with a dancing nancies solo...ahh i get chills just thinking about it...)

My first DMB show and it was awesome! Once you've heard the band in concert, CD versions of their songs are never the same. Only in concert can you feel the energy of everyone around you, be a part of it, and feel the band responding to it. It's just undescribable!
We all joined in on the lyrics for all the songs we knew and it felt like the audience was truly a part of the band. Especially at the end of the show, when the band performed the audience-requested "Two Step"! It's truly been one of my favorites, and I guess I'm not alone.

Simply amazing. What else can I say? For those of you who went the night before, on the 28th, you got robbed. Monday was the best show I've seen yet. It was awesome. Loads of energy and Dave didn't diappoint. The entire show we were all chanting TWO STEP,TWO STEP......he made us all sweat it out but played it as the closing JAM. The place just exploded. Also, to note.....I had the honor of meeting Stefan outside his Hotel. They stayed at the Sheraton right in town. Unfortunately my brother and I didn't have a maker for an autograph......Maybe next time.

So glad they opened with Pig! So Right was great, but a little slip up in One Sweet World. Finally a whole Dancing Nancies, though solo. Everyday wasn't so much of a tease as it was the crowd chanting Two Step, and the band not refusing.

Amazing show... Dave broke out Nancies acoustic in the encore after the fans were begging for it for the past few shows. Everyday was also scheduled to close the encore, but the crowd wanted Two Step so badly that the band gave in. Other highlights were Pig opener, Proudest Monkey, a nice 41 with Butch taking a solo, and the first Raven in a while. Ants closed the show with tons of energy. All in all an amazing 10 out of 10 show.

It was really hot that night and the fact that there were 40,000 people on the lawn didn't help... it seriously must have been 105 degrees where I was standing. After the audience quieted down after chanting "TWO STEP TWO STEP", I was that one guy who had to request "Watchtower." Two Step was incredible though. In all, I give it a 10 =)

Amazing Show with highlights including Pig opener, warehouse, proudest monkey, 41, a long and amazing Loving Wings, ants, full dancing nancies dave solo and two step. The guys had a different encore planned but the crowd was chanting 2step so loud there was no way they were gonna play anything else. Butch threw some flecktone sound into his solo which really lit the place up.The energy was amazing-probably 2nd best show ive seen next to 4-21-02 in montreal.
