**Official Colorado (Englewood) 2018**

[spoot388]

i used to go to 6-8 shows a year, chasing the best set. couldn't miss a show i had the ability to get to because what if they played something i haven't seen before or in a really long time? in 7 shows, i'd see 4 or 5 sevens and shake mes in the hopes of getting that one say goodbye or typical. i would get tired of all the other stuff, even if its a song i liked, simply because i heard it too much by that point.

since moving to denver, most years i only get the 2 shows in camden that i travel home for. some years, like this one, i get 2 extra when they visit denver. because i can't go to as many shows as i used to, i don't get a lot of the same songs every time i do go. and when i get the songs that i used to hear all the time, i enjoy them a lot more now because it may have been a while since the last time i heard it, and it may be a while before i hear it again.

for example, denver was my 34th cornbread in 77 total performances (including D+T). my previous cornbreads were D+T in 2017, nothing in 2016 because it wasn't played at camden, and in the acoustic set in 2015. it had been 4 years since the last time i heard a full band electric cornbread, so ya, i really enjoyed it. last time i heard shake me was 2015. not counting the potential winter tour, its going to be 4 years since i last heard that live by the time next summer rolls around, and there's no guarantee i get it then either. but when i do, chances are im going to enjoy that 4 minute ball of energy a lot more than i did from 2009-2015.

to anyone who is tired of getting the same sets but still loves the music, do yourself a favor and go to less shows. you will end up thoroughly enjoying from start to finish the ones you do go to so much more.

I have several friends who i went to shows with in 2001 that no longer will go to shows, and thats fine, things change. But people constantly saying this show sucked or what a waste of time or whatever is just old...there are plenty of songs i would have prefered he played, sugar will would have been great but he played that quite a bit in 16' so people would have bitched about that as well haha it just blows my mind the amount of complaining (as i complain about the complainers...irony)

I was at both shows--I'm up to 25-35 shows since 2000... this was by far one of the best sets I've ever been to. One of the best Ants versions I've ever heard live or through taper/live trax. Granted, they haven't come to CO in 3 years, don't have the means to travel, and I was jonesing, but I was beyond happy with both sets. Pit N1, and lawn N2. I didn't miss Boyd once and Buddy is such a breathe of fresh air. The guys actually seem like they're having so much fun now and it's wonderful to see Rashawn blossom.

I'll admit I'm one who is disappointed when Crash or Satellite comes on (they are usually my potty-break songs) because it bumps what I deem a true fan song (BUT WE GOT TO HEAR WRITE A SONG!!!!). But I never get sick of Ants... so my Ants is someone else's Crash.

Also, CO is WEIRD when it comes to DMB shows. I'm from Chicagoland and have seen most my shows at Deer Creek and Chicago... I'll be the first to admit it's totally not the same. That being said..... I really wish we could get our hands on N2!

Absolutely agree, there are always songs that will be duds for everyone that will happen with every band, I personally could live without another satellite but when he plays it i still enjoy it. If you just enjoy the show and enjoy what they are playing instead of seeking that perfect setlist the concerts will be that much more enjoyable.

I met a guy named Andy who I was next two in the Pit both nights. I met him that weekend, as well as a ton of people, and I am glad I did cause he captured pretty much both nights. Some videos he sent to Chester from what I've read on some of the DBM Facebook groups but here are some of them including Write a Song. Such a great weekend!!

There is not NEARLY as much Oomph as the midwest. I believe that's why we don't get a show every tour anymore. 5 years ago at Dicks they couldn't even fill the stadium. First night was half full. They definitely do better at Fiddler's but the fans are not as into it as I'm used to.

I don't think it's looking good for N2 audio. I could use some decent audio to pair up with my videos from that night.

I've uploaded a few already and have a few more to go...
Song that Jane Likes
Seven
Samurai Cop
Minarets
Grey Street

Bummer to hear that news. I tried converting video from youtube to mp3 but pretty sure all I did was give myself a virus.

[ebonecapone]

still no tape for 8/25 stinks.

[daspfund22]

yeah i am hoping to get a quality recordings of superstition and write a song from that show

[lennon2324]

Soooooo guessing we are SOL for a N2 recording

[jmkratt]

Looking that way

[lennon2324]

Anybody out there ever stumble across a N2 recording?
