My 18th DMB show, and maybe my best. The set list never stopped being great from Rapunzel to Watchtower, everything was perfect. Billies was ridicolous and the new songs were outstanding. Dave is BACK!

really good show. a little rain to cool thing down but had pavilion seats so really didn't get soaked. warehouse gave us some pretty decent tix this time. granny was awesome. glad to hear 41 and so much to say; both also awesome. mid set billies was an excellent surprise. enjoyed the new songs. and i'm happy that the rest of the band has started getting into that stairway outro on watchtower w/ timmy. dave def. picked the best part of the song to sing the lyrics to. damn good night.

Full-band show #19 and maybe the most consistent setlist ever. I agree with bphawks24 in that it didn't let up from start to finish. It was a struggle finding a good time to get a beer or go to the bathroom!
#41 and Jimi Thing were amazing as usual, they smoked SMTS->ASTB->TM tease->Billies, and Watchtower just oozed energy.
Can't wait to see how they follow up that setlist with night two!

Strong night one performance. High energy show. First time at this venue. Nothing special about the venue, but the audience had good
energy. #41 and Jimi Thing were big highlights. The new songs sound better every time I hear them. Watchtower with the Stairway
interpolation was awesome!

Just plain nasty. Wished the crowd would have turned out a little better.
This show was definitely the most fun of the 2 nights, but Saturday's was damn near perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better 2 nights.

Great show.... big switchup in set list style from a few nights ago when i saw them in cincinnati. that show was nearly 50% new album, tonight just has a sprinkling of groogrux songs. 41 was great but not as long as the one in cincy - tripping billies exploded , people were dancing in the aisles like crazy. Left plenty of room to put on an even better show tonight! would love to see pittsburgh get Halloween as reward for winning the stanley cup!

At the end of this night I thought that this was the best DMB show I would ever be able to see... Of course, since I came back for the second one I was incorrect in assuming this.

BEST SHOW EVER!!! Impressed me far beyond anything I anticipated

Excellent Intro with PNP & Rapunzel. Sort of predictable though since his entire tour he has been playing a combo of 4-5 intro songs. Having the opportunity to hear Stay or Leave is such a rare treat that hearing it makes me think about college and drift away to the glory of drinking and college. Hearing the all too familiar Cornbread was a welcome treat. I loved his intensity on spaceman and tripping billies he was bouncing all over the stage. I def loved all the GrooGrux King album songs. Alligator Pie was a beautiful song live much better than on the album. All Along The Watchtower with a Led Zeppelin interpolation was insane. I have never heard that before and was mind blown by just having that part heard.

Good show, not great (dont get me wrong, it wasnt bad by any means...just falls a little short when compared to the following nights show). Nice build up for the show on the following night...nice smooth transition from the Phish show on 6/18 and the rager of a DMB that was to follow on 6/20.

Seemed like the set list was mellower than I'm used to, but the band seemed hot and even more energetic than usual. Loved the solos and the Carter-Jeff duet. So great to hear Granny and Stay or Leave and Tripping Billies! And I love the new stuff; In addition to the first couple of known quantities (Funny, Shake Me, and Why I Am), I really like Seven, and You and Me makes me all sentimental (especially when at the show with my beautiful bride and our 13-year-old daughter!)

Awesome show. Obviously not as good as night 2, but was great to hear Watchtower, Billies, Granny, Jimi, 41, and the new tracks. Problem was being at Toronto and Buffalo already, this set was a bit similar. Still an awesome show.

32nd Show and easily one of the top 3 i ever saw. The band was into it all night and you could just tell that nothing was going to get in their way. 41 was off the wall. Jimi was amazing with Dave's "sexy muthafucka shakin' that ass" outro interpolation and was totally into it. New songs all rocked live. NOTHING PLAYED FROM STAND UP which for me... rocked. I love Die Trying and Bayou but I can do without them. Anyway... show 33 tonight and even though there's songs out there for the band to play to top last night, it will be truly tough to top last night. See you guys tonight for show 33!

Good show as always. Opener PNP>Rapunzel and Granny were fantastic. As well as Tripping Billies and Jimi Thing. The new stuff was well done and the crowd knew every song. Watchtower was a very climactic ending. Only complaints was that the volume was lower from lawn than usual(couldn't even recognize Stay or Leave until the crowd sang) and Crash Into Me was kind of weak.

IT WAS AMAZING! Couldn't have asked for more for my 2nd show. Jimi Thing was awesome, i didn't even know it was possible to play to saxes at once. The new stuff sounds great live. I'm a die-hard Zeppelin fan who was born 2 decades too late, so I totally lost it when they went from Watchtower to Stairway.
