If I could pick a 3.49 I would but it is still a 3. It started out pretty nice with the #41, Warehouse, Break free, and Crush. After Don\'t Drink the wheels fall off. The DOTHS, Seven, and Jimi Thing shot this show to a 3 immediately. I\'ve never been one to hate on Jimi Thing because I usually like the outro but considering a last stop or pig or literally anything else could\'ve been in it\'s place I am getting sick of it. Gravedigger and the SMTS>Ants was really good and that\'s the reason I didn\'t leave angry but the encore was just meh. Unfortunately two of my least favorite shows have been at Oak Mountain.

70th show. Probably best experience ever on first row. Interacted with Jeff and Dave during the show, met Boyd after and caught a drumstick from Carter.

Its impossible for me to not have a good time at a DMB show but thought this one lacked the energy and enthusiasm the band normally brings. I personally like the new song Bismarck so thought the opening with it was pretty cool, but I don't think the new songs should be in the encore, and personally Bob law just shouldn't be in the concert when there are so many better songs to play.

Interesting that they opened with a new song. Didn\'t seem to be as much crowd energy as with most openers since a lot of people weren\'t familiar with the song. Great string of songs from #41 through Don\'t Drink The Water. Real downer from Death On The High Seas through Jimi Thing (way overplayed). Finished strong with Gravedigger, So Much to Say, and Ants (one of the best I\'ve seen with Boyd\'s Hoedown interpolation). Worst encore ever with Bob Law and You Might Die Trying.

Nice venue, intimate feeling, great sound! The show was as amazing a DMB show is (which is always amazing!) - I was surprised w Bismarck opener, but just because it\\\'s new and the crowd energy wasn\\\'t there since casual fans don\\\'t know it. But that\\\'s casual fans... Highlights - Kill the Preacher (people all around me had no clue what this even was!), Break Free, Jimi ~ Sexy MF, Gravedigger, Ants ~ Hoedown Jam (my name). I am not ever disappointed in a set list - I think of it as a special surprise from the band - whatever they play, that\\\'s what I came to hear! It was a good, good show!

Always a special treat to see DMB just a mile from my house. This was my 68th show - really enjoyed hearing the new stuff. Samurai Cop was incredible, goosebumps the entire song. On to Charlotte and Atlanta!

Great open and mid set run then it just fell off to me. I was spoiled with the amazing set list at Tuscaloosa last year and this just didn\\\\\\\'t come close to the Tuscaloosa show. Also encore was weak but on a high note a beautiful 41 and wonderful ants

Great setlist!I work as an usher at this venue simply to be able to see DMB each time they come to Oak Mountain.

First time at venue and it was a nice change from the big amphitheatres! Great staff, easy to get in and leave, awesome setting. A night seeing DMB is better than a night not at a show! Great offering of jam tunes...#41, Crush, Jimi, and Boyd\'s jam on Ants was the best I have heard. Solid selection of classics with all time favorite, Granny...never tire of that tune. Best new song, Bob Law, hands down. Jimi rolling into playful Sexy MF was great, The only thing holding me back from higher rating had nothing to do with show....unfortunately trashed frat and sorority attendees I was next to were a major buzz kill...backs to the band, talking, texting and stumbling the entire show.
