Was one of my least favorite sets that I've seen...and the worst seats I've had as a Warehouse member. I could only see a sliver of the stage and the sound was muted from over there. Oh well...

Had a great time. I thought the show was great...then again, I'm just there to enjoy the show, not to bitch about the setlist. Probably the best Crush I've ever heard.

Original setlist was great. Seems time was an issue. Good energy though.

Hate curfews. Hate seeing 3 songs cut from the set list. Happens every year. Maryland Heights are really strict and it bothers me.

Awesome show! The sing-a-long for Jimi Thing was epic and that was the first time in a LONG time that the crowd got to sing on Ants in St. Louis. Stefan's Tool jam before Watchtower was sweet. Nice tease of Schism.
For those complaining about the one song encore, did you look at the time? Ants finished a couple minutes before 11pm and concerts are supposed to be done by 11pm, therefore, that's why it was a 1 song encore. They played past curfew, which is awesome that they did that. Props to the band for giving us an encore.

WOW not much good to say about this one. It was my 22 show and by far the most disappointing one! It amazes me that Dave would play Proudest Monkey and then Satellite. That killed the vibe from the DDTW opener. The crowd wasn't the greatest, but I knew that already. It just seemed like dave dogged it a bit. The band also over jammed tonight. Every song led to a jam. Boyd was great though, and so was Stefan! Song that jane likes may have been the only standout. Other than that Ants was good and typical situation was good. Of course the worst to part was the one song encore. come on people they had to be off the stage at 11? Really? You know how many shows I have seen play to 11:30?...How about Deer Creek in 2010 getting over at 1:30 due to lightning. Facts are the set list sucked, He plays the same shit every single show and saves all his good stuff for the two nighters. and PLEASSSSE RETIRE WATCHTOWER. By far most overplayed and predictable song to hear as an encore!!! This is the first show i have ever rated below a 5. Thanks STL!

Some excellent jams! Was hoping for something just a bit more, but a great night overall... One thing... Just one encore song? Bummer
Those of you ragging on StL fans must have been in a bad area. My sections sang Jimi and danced all night. The band played till nearly 11 before their encore break... Nearly unheard of here. I'm betting the venue reigned him in with the short encore...

DMB cut out three songs from the set-list; Warehouse, If Only, & Why I Am. Space Between (Dave solo) was suppose to be played the first song of the encore, instead got moved to right before.
Encore was suppose to go: Space Between > Why I Am > Watchtower
Instead, they only played Watchtower, ending the show around 11:15pm. GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!

After going to both nights at Deer Creek and Alpine this was a letdown. Dave & the band sounded good as usual and the setlist was ok, but the venue and crowd were horrible. People sitting down throughout every song--overall a bad vibe. And as far as tailgating goes-it was nonexistent. Will not be back to this venue.

I swear the shows keep getting better...but I'm thinking this one was even better because I met Dave at the top of the Gateway Arch earlier that day!

Good show, but mainly because 2012 has been nothing but. Far from a great show. 3 days after alpine makes this anti-climatic. Really wish Warehouse/Why I am weren't cut. Still always a fun time.

I was a little skeptical about how the show would turn out (not a fan of the newer music) but it was great, Song That Jane Likes, Proudest Monkey, So Damn Lucky with Digging a Ditch outro, Crush, Stefan playing Mumford & Tool, great energy... Also loved hearing Dave come out with Brandi to sing Angel from Montgomery. Worth the 6 hr drive from Nashville!

I've got to laugh at the post that said Dave dogged it. He really dogged it at the end of So Damn Lucky, and Jimi Thing. He was all over the stage tonight, Boyd was on fire. The set list was great, in my opinion. My 21st show, and definitely one of the best shows he's played in STL in a while. The crowd on the other hand, I don't know what happened with Jimi Thing, but after being at Wrigley in '10, the crowd participation last night was pretty bad. Ton of people who came to talk to each other and not listen.

Too much Big Whiskey for a 2012 show but the solo by Coffin in Lying in the Hands of God was great. Crush as usual had a great solo and Star Spangled into Watchtower was awesome 2.5 hr set list

Worst show I've seen by far. One song encore. Didn't play Warehouse like he was supposed to. Played a ton of songs the MO has seen plenty of times. A lazy set after three incredible shows nights before at Alpine and others.

Solid setlist, with great old songs like TSTJL and Typical Situation. I agree with another reviewer that it was a great sing-along show. Also disappointed that it was a one-song encore.

Thought it was a pretty decent setlist, some classics. But yea I also noticed how many songs contained significantly longer jams; more so than usual. I digged it, but I can see why some others would not. Space Between Dave-solo was unexpected and pretty sweet. Had not seen Typical in a while either, probably my highlight. From KC, so had to travel to two this year, but mightve enjoyed the Dallas show more, but only marginally. Overall, pretty fun show.

Looking back at the setlist, the show was good. Jeff and Steffan laid down an awesome jam on Lying on the Hands of God. Dave's solo performance of The Space Between was a treat. I was able to watch the last 5 songs from the Pit and that was absolutely unbelievable!!

I had great pit seats maybe that is why I enjoyed the show so much. I though the set list was decent. I enjoyed the jams and Dave seemed really into it from my perspective. Dave screaming and playing the piano was pretty boss!

The show was amazing as always, but I think they were running out of time for the encore....it seemed hurried. Best Lying in the hands of God, Crush and Jimi Thing I have seem thus far....

Fans in Missouri don't know Jimi Thing? And a one song encore? I guess if my fans were lame, I'd want to leave fast too... Bring DMB to southern Illinois where we will appreciate it!

Band played great as per usual. Love Typical Situation, and the Space Between was as first for me. Beautiful rendition. It's a shame about the cut songs...they have this problem with time limit every year they play here...so I don't know why they don't just go on a bit earlier.
I've been to 21 shows...and never complain about the sets...if you don't like them...don't go...my complaints are about the crowd that is always here. I told myself at the last concert here (after a horrible experience with the crowd) was going to be my last one at this venue...now I know it's never happening again. The fans in STL always blow...just loaded with frat douches...I can't stand it. It's amazing to me that they waste their money to stand in the pit and talk through every single song... Sorry DMB...I love your music, and tonight was no exception...but I'll be traveling anywhere but here to see you again. I actually want to hear your music. Come back to KC :)

Great show, the band was on fire. The setlist was great. Not sure why people complained. The JAMS were amazing. The band fed off each other all night! It was my fourth show of the tour, and may have been the best.

Very weak setlist. I agree with the post about how the band only plays a great setlist at the 2-3 night stands. My only concert for the year and it was a disappointment. Had a great time, but song selection blew, which is typical for STL. Also the 11 curfew SUCKS! STL gets screwed on the setlist because of it every year...

I'm not that big of a "Space Between" fan, but this version was pretty outstanding. . . honestly. . . just Dave and his Guitar, it was almost a haunting rendition, very cool.
Pretty slow concert overall, 2nd show in a row here that warehouse got cut. . .seems like time is always an issue her @ UMB, my question is, why not plan for that instead of having to kick out one of the best songs they could have played???
I know jams can go longer then expected, but it just seems like they would have this all figured out by this point. . . felt a little shafted after the reviews from Alpine and Etc. . .

Great show. Best PM I've heard and loved the Jane bust out. LIHOG could be the next 41. And my favorite part of the night was Typical friggin situation!!! The Dave solo space between was super cool. Hate warehouse got cut tho
