Despite the venue being almost half empty. The energy from the band was quite amazing. Probably in my top 5 of 21 shows.

Love this show... minus Everyday in the encore. This song should not be played as a show closer, it just doesnt have the energy. I was really hoping for Watchtower or Stay. Minarets and Two Step were out of this world.

best DMB show i've ever been too. best set list of 2005.
talk about the red rocks and gorge shows all you want. NYC doesnt even compare to what this night was. THIS should be a live traxx.

Amazing Show. Killer set list, good seats. The only thing that sucked is that annoying WE ARE...PENN STATE Chant.

Very good show. MINARETS!! Great Seek Up and Bayou...Boyd was all over the stage which is always great to see. Crowd was week on Everyday though which brought a down vibe to an otherwise great show.

great show, best set i've seen yet. rapunzel is always a great opener, seek up was amazing, the place went crazy for bayou and warehouse. i love the big man rashawn, and krasno tore it up on two step, that was the best two step i've ever seen. great encore with christmas song and everyday. i cant wait for the summer tour

Took my buddy to see his first Dave show!! Great time we had!!
User: bphawks24

Dave didn't seem to thrilled to be at Penn State but once the crowd got into it and started yelling "We Are..." Dave seemed to enjoy his time. Good set list and Soulive was a great help out to the band

The set list was absolutely incredible. It had so many of my favorite songs in it and I was up and dancing the whole time. Crash Into Me, Grey Street, and Everyday were especially good in my opinion. The lighting was spectacular and the atmosphere was so relaxed and fun! I really liked Dave leading the "WE ARE...PENN STATE!" The show was all in all just spectacular!

Loved it! Louisiana Bayou, What Would You Say, Two Step, and Hunger For the Great Light were all amazing, the others were too, but I loved those ones the most. Only disappointment was that he played Bayou and What Would You Say and then went into a slower Lover Lay Down that made the energy go down. The energy was so high to after those two and it brought it down just a tad.
We Are...Penn State
(how many times have you heard that at a Dave Concert?!)

Very good, Eric Krasno was the man, the band seemed to turn it up a notch, I believe they are better than ever despite what many people say.

This one of the best shows i've been to. Minarets was a great treat. Can't recall last time i saw Lover Lay Down either. The first eight songs were played as if he were closing with them. It was sick.

I'm glad I finally got to go to a full band DMB winter show. Pantala Naga Pampa--> Rapunzel opened up a show for me for the first time so i was psyched about that and knew the show was definitly going to be great. Minarets? Wow. I don't think I ever expected to hear that song but it was SICK! No one knew what it was. I switched tickets with my friends parents who were 3rd row by the time warehouse came on and that was crazy. The whole show was real mellow and went with PSU good. Penn State chants were sweet especially since Dave encouraged a few more right before my first Christmas song :) Everyday was good as usual with the Hani chants. The whole band got into it. I felt bad for Roi though with whatever went wrong with his equipment, he seemed pissed. Overall, it was a great time. No WAYG finally. Did i mention Minarets? ;)

Amazing to say the least. The incorporation of rawshawn ross and krasno made for some sweet additions to ODH, LB, SU, and TS. The jams on Seek Up and Two Step were amazing. Minarets had been played for the first time in years which was great... It was just a wonderful show I can't wait to get it on my computer

Review:
This show was definitely the best I have ever seen. They jammed out so much during this show. They opened with Rapunzel, which was great. I was also hoping to hear them play Warehouse and they did! More of my favs: Grey Street, Louisiana Bayou, Christmas Song, and the best had to be Two Step (my fav DMB song). Overall they rocked Penn State and raised the roof of the BJC! Such a great concert!

I was pretty amped to see this show...Winter Tour is never a bad idea. Show highlights: Seek Up (always!), Minarets, Lover Lay Down and Christmas Song. The weather in State College was very snowy and suited this winter show just right.

Best DMB show I've seen at the Jordan Center. Really made up for the previous shows at the BJC.
User: PeteGott7
Review:
Awesome show with an incredible Bayou ending, and the Two Step chants "worked" once again. 36/Everyday encore was the best i have ever seen, and Christmas song was so perfect. Dave loved the WE ARE...PENN STATE chants and it was pretty sweet. Interesting to hear Minarets. Only down side was Dave seemed sick or angry or not "feelin gooooood", his energy was lacking, but it was still a killer show. Sweet venue. Wish I could see him in Philly!

Sick as show, Soulive guitarist is great on the pedal, enjoyed Boyd's #36 little jam with pedal, the lights were terrific but the show was absoultely amazing, best seats ever for an indoor show, 4 from the front can't be beat.

Two step was amazing with krasno and Rapunzel rocked it! great opening! Dave loved the we are penn state chants. Overall the best show for 2005 IMO.

This was a classic show for me. My tickets got lost in the mail so I trecked up to PSU anyway from Baltimore, hoping for some descent seats at the box office. As I stumbled(cold and drunk) to the box office, I got section 104, unreal. PNP>Rapunzel great opener. Crash, Seek Up, Lover Lay Down, and Grey Street were well played. Then the big surprise: The return of MINARETS! UNREAL! Another show I was lucky to see that involved the return of a DMB classic.(Say Goodbye @ Nissan in June, Halloween @ Red Rocks in Sept.) What made it better is the seague into Dreamgirl, so sweet. Eric Krasno came out and added some funk to Stand Up. Then.. Two Step. This is the best Two Step I have heard in person. Krasno was nice on the electric and the fans loved it. Christmas song was great to hear for the first time in 3 years. What really made this show special was how intimate the setting was. It reminded me of the 12/31/96 show at Hampton Coloseum. Smaller crowd lots of energy and the band enjoyed it. Also, because of my seat I caught Boyd, Dave, and Stefan glancing over at me. Dave glanced over and saw how wasted I was, he then turned to stefan and probably told him to check out that wasted dude, and he glanced over. Boyd had a good laugh, he saw some dude bitch at me for lighting a cigarette. Nothing beat the crowd. [leftside]"WE ARE.." [right side] "PENN STATE!" Dave lead the chants when he came back out. GREAT Time!

Woo hoo! Best show I've been to yet! Minarets was really good, very surprised by it. My buddy heard the scat intro and pulled me out of my seat, screaming "MINARETS!" like a crazy man. Great to finally hear Rapunzel and Grey Street. The band looked like they were having a great time and it showed. Bayou was just sick!!!

Review:
Gotta say my worst show in 23 hands down. IMHO Low energy from the band and even lower energy from the crowd. I looked around several times during the show and I could count on one hand the # of people dancing in the audience. Sure my 1st Minarets was excellent but other than that it was a lack luster show, mostly due to a terrible crowd and poor song selection- my 2 cents.

Minarets can make any show good, but seek up, two step, and the best bayou i've seen, can't hurt either. Everyday was kind of lame, Dave was pretty much waiting for the crowd to start singing, but overall it was a sick show. Dave directing... WE ARE... PENN STATE - amazing

Frankly that was the best dave show ever.... the seats were incredible... like 10 feet from Dave, and Minarets, Seek up, two step and an ultra energized Bayou made the show... the christmas song was BEAUTIFUL and a great way to end it... overall a smashing perfformance!!! SOULIVE was great too and Kras and Rashawn Ross added so much to the performance!!!
