I Know I Know but... Next Live Trax Please

[OutofDarkness]

I know we like to joke that DMB management is throwing darts when they pick shows to release, but when I look back at the whole LT catalogue, they really have done an excellent job with it. There are far more great shows than head-scratchers. Each "decade" of LTs really only has one (two at max) release where it's like, "why did they bother with this?"

Hard agree

The next release should be announced in June based on past history. So we have a while to wait.

I am extremely happy with the current one. I’ll happily wait

A handful of thoughts about a handful of interesting shows:
10.25.1996 - nice show, lowest rarity for Fall 96 with Cry Freedom, #36, IBYU and fun Dave improv on Graves, maybe superfluous to needs.

8.14.1998 - this show rules, buried in a forgotten killer month for the band. Mitch Rutman guests on Wynona, showpiece Say Bye, Last Stop, Nancies, Warehouse Stone, DDTW run

9.12.2000 & 9.13.2000 - The dream release: 9.12 - 9.20.2000 boxed with 9.4.2000 bundled with Warehouse pre-orders. Tell me you love me DMB. That said our next 2000 or Bela show is likely not coming for a few years

5.11.2001 & 5.12.2001 - I think these are interesting shows. the last two five-man shows in the history of the band and there's a lot of unique sound in these two shows - Stefan and Carter on Waste is neat. I think the announcement thread would burn. Night 1 better than night 2, but the night 1 tape was always way better and got more play. I like the fun long WTWE intro night 2. Sort of feel like "Last Five Man Show" could be a reason it gets released in the early 100s. They do that.

5.4.2002 & 5.5.2002 - DMB had a a full-tour tour debut streak coming into this weekend, debuted nothing, and the shows still ruled. Great shit. It's been a while since I listened, but I remember them being really well-balanced flowing shows like one continuous 5.5 listen. No repeats over the two nights, sort of a new thing in the DMB world at the time.

9.21.2007 - killer show top to bottom. DMB were back at their best, late Fool liberation > Dreaming Tree. I could go a while without another 2007, and I think I'd want one from the next week, but still great.

Great picks, as usual, but the bolded is stellar. They have taken your recommendations into consideration in the past…

I agree!

Now let's get that spring 02 show please!!

[dmb2much40]

Not sure they’ll do another 2002 so soon after putting SPAC out there as the warehouse release, but I agree spring 2002 is one of the few remaining holes they’ve got to fill. So many great shows to choose from as well, throw a dart, they can’t mess it up.

I’d love a D&T 2017 release.

1997 w/ Bela was a great choice for #65. Let’s go back even further into the 90s for #66, maybe we’ll get lucky and see something from ‘93-‘94

It hasn't stopped them before. They released a 2009 show on LT, an exclusive download and a sirius xm show in about 18 months all from the same week in 2009.
