I mean Shake Me still closed on the written set; you could be right but Dave had this sadistic plan all along.

Still a sick weekend tho, can’t wait for next year!

Care to elaborate on what happened to the sound? This is news to us.

You talking about when the tech came out to adjust one of the splashes in front?

[kelchlsm]

Probably the best opening run I’ve seen in years tonight wow

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. One of the best SPAC weekends since I’ve been coming - two really great nights.

Premier parking had a guy on the drums playing to dmb songs which was nice. Solid 100 people or more dancing and singing for a good half hour or more after the show. A couple got engaged right in front too. Nice touch to the end of a great night. All my neighbors however were straight up a-holes you know who you are

Tonight was like going into the 9th inning pitching a perfect game, and then with two outs and two strikes you give up a hit. And in Dave’s case maybe on purpose!

[Antiramie]

Corn Bread closed the Gorge in 2018. I dunno how anyone is shocked SMLAM closed tonight.

No venue is safe anymore.

Finally trying to process that a little more. Did it not seem odd that they ended an album version of shake me and then all ran off the stage? No selfies, no stick throw, no picks. They all just ran off without a wave. Wtf?

Dave took a bunch of selfies after Watchtower, dunno if that makes a difference. But it definitely looked like they were tryna get the hell outta dodge lol

It started to sound a little muffled to a degree in section 22 during SMLAM.

I agree. It’s a very professional crew. I have a couple friends who work for the local crew at Deer Creek and they vouch for their guys when we talk about it

Crew don’t post too much on Ants, but they are here. They usually pay attention of the **Official XYZ show** posts, mostly to understand if there are sound problems.

As they wrote once:

I agree that they are doing a great job, very skilled people and hard workers (which is not such a common combination).

Let me add to DMBRoadCrew that I am missing so much the Road Notes coming at the end of every show. It would be so cool to have them back …

My friends who work on the local crew in Indy really like them - they show up on time for load in, are easy to work with and are real pros

Was at both shows!

Am I delusional? I thought before Squirm he played the Shotgun riff, then spoke to the crowd, then went into Squirm.

Not delusional, he did do that.

Ugh...my heart...Shotgun would've put it over the top for me. Such a great set!...if you ignore Shake Me

[Xcacel]

Putting together the two nights at SPAC, DMB played 7/11 of BTCS.

yeah but it's those remaining four we all want.

But I see your point - glancing at past setlists it's the best two nighter for BTCS so far.

WPB has 3/11
Chicago had 4/11
Deer Creek was 3/11
Gilford was 4/11
Irvine was 4/11

[Titotimmy]

7/11 BTCS and 5/11 Busted Stuff ain’t too shabby

And only 2 Come Tomorrow didn't suck either.

Is there a download available for last nights set that’s good quality. I’d pay for solid quality

Love it or hate it let’s not compare a classic to shit me like a monkey

[crazy joe Devola]

Ok now that I'm not drunk and stoned, I shouldn't have called him an asshole last night, he's still the man. If Shake Me is anywhere else in the set, it's still a 10/10 show. Having said that...

You're at an incredible venue with the entire place chanting for Two Step, after a MONSTER set, and even Rashawn is giving "the look" to everyone on stage. Why on earth wouldn't you want to start Two Step in that situation. Would have been absolute bedlam and people are walking out saying it's arguably the greatest weekend stop in years if not a decade.

It's the little things like that which in my opinion make them so incredibly frustrating sometimes. There is Two Step, Ants, Billies, etc still on the table. I was in section 1 and when they started Shake Me, I couldn't see one single person dancing. Everyone was just standing.

Personally, it would be a lot less annoying if Dave was doing it obliviously, but he knows what's up and has to see everyone just standing around. Like what's even the point? Just to show people he doesn't care sometimes? There was still time for a double encore too with everyone still chanting for one more song while they scurried off the stage. Ughhhhhh
