So tight! The night before they played IMPROV and then this night I got to hear PIG! I juts can't get enough of it! Only heard it live one other time. 1st time for The Maker live , so sweet! I felt so lucky! And they broke out some Cry Freedom me and my buddy were like, HUH? Thats nice! Overall 2 terrific shows! I love back to back like that it leaves a real impression!

This was my first ever DMB show and it blew me away. The best song for me that night was "What you are" as a closer...Dave's voice rang out over the ampitheatre and it gave me chills. It was in that very moment that I fell in love with them!!!

Best Dave Show I've seen...1st time I saw Watchtower live. Best PNP -> Rapunzel I've heard. And the Maker in the encore. Couldn't have been a better night.

This was an incredible show. To open with Crush, had Cry Freedom, and the Maker. The crowd was in the zone with the band that night, and made for a great vibe.

Night two here was much more energetic. Much better crowd to. I love 41 into Everyday. Wicked Watchtower with Kirk Douglas on guitar, best I have ever heard. Two nights, no repeats, what more can you ask for. Oh ya, Last Stop kicks ass.

First off, The Roots are the hip-hop version of DMB. The best live hip-hop you will probably ever see. This is my 9th show and it's the second best setlist of the bunch (the classic 5-17-98 show is still tops). The energy was very high, and even though I was waiting for a dud song, none came until the encore. What You Are isn't the best song, but I was surprised how good of a closer it was. Can't even really call it a dud. I really enjoyed the Pink Floyd intro to it. Highlight of the show: The Roots guitarist guesting on AATW. I only wish he was able to sing a little as well because he's got the chops for it. IIHIA was even good tonight. This is a great show and I can't wait until it's available for trade. The Watchtower alone makes it worth it for me because I've been a Roots fan since '94.

Stefan had a sick bass guitar solo into Watchtower. The guest guitarist from The Roots was pretty awesome too!!!

My last show of the summer, and the best yet! I was sad to see my run end, but what a way to finish. I had only one wish for this last show of the summer - #41. When those opening notes came out, I screamed at the top of my lungs before I even knew that I recognized the song. Pig, #41->Everyday, The Last Stop and Cry Freedom was an exceptional run that really made the night for me. Can't wait till next year!

I was disappointed with Fridays show, but Saturday night Dave proved to me once again why I love the band so much. The show was so great, I was in heaven. All I have to say is WATCHTOWER! WOW...WOW...WOW

DMB redeemed themselves this year. It was a great show even though I had little expectation due to my previous experience. Being in the good seat makes such a big difference. I felt for those in the lawn...
Great opening act, even though I was one of the few that was actually listening/enjoying the gig.

Another awesome show. Kirk Douglas joined the band for all along the watchtower and it was absolutely amazing. He had a total jimmy hendrix influence and it made the song spectacular.

Now tonight was what DMB is all about. They blew the awning completely into SF Bay. 1st night was mellow but tonight they just went crazy. Definitely worth the trip from indiana.

Enjoyable show, many songs not normally played, but kind of a strange energy for this show. They would pick it up then bring it down then pick it up... Hard to keep the vibe, but it's DMB so...

Been seeing Dave at least a few times a year since 1995 & this was musically far the best show I've seen yet. Last few previously hadn't been as quite as inspired as the early years but this one reinforced why I keep coming back every summer...

My first DMB concert amazingly... I'd meant to go for years but never bothered getting tickets before it sold out. My girlfriend at the time (now wife) got the tix through the fan club and I have to thank her over and over for devirginizing me to live DMB.

Friggin Hell Yeah that was awesome. Best two nights I've seen so far. Tonight the boys were feeling it like nothing else. Between last night and tonight we were only missing a Halloween to form a perfect BTCS. That was amazing can't wait till next time.

Hell of a show. Roof--gone. We had great seats, to boot. A lot of talk amid the fans of it being one of their "top 3" or "top 5" etc.

Best Show Ever! My favorite Set List. #41- Everyday - Last Stop - Pig! Amazing!!! The whole crowed was yelling so had you could not hear Dave at times. The Energy at that show to me has not been surpassed in other shows I have attended. A highlight for sure!

This was perhaps the best DMB show I have seen yet! The "come and dance with me" call and repeat literally almost brought a tear to my eye. It DEFINATELY was the best show I've ever seen at Shoreline.
