After seeing one of the absolute best DMB shows I’ve been to in 20 years.. I knew we were in for it to pay for our sins on N2… I honestly went into the shoe thinking they could play whatever they want and I’ll be ok tonight… Hell they could play you and everyday ddtw cornbread sledgehammer and I’ll be ok.. but really I wasn’t ok.. it was the worst..

#40, Two Step, and Halloween didn't do it for ya? Not to mention Pig, Rye Whiskey, and LIOG...

as i've said a few times in this thread and others - the issue with N2 went beyond the setlist, which had an abysmal middle stretch in and of itself. it was the playing/performance.



and do people really love or "chase" rye whiskey?

[jmkratt]

Rye Whiskey is awesome

[Speilmen230]

I have seen Rye Whiskey three times. I'm good.

[ExistenceNow]

Rye Whiskey is just a really uninteresting cover. So instead of having three cover songs in a set, if you want to toss in a slow quiet song mid-set, how about Pay for What You Get? or Cry Freedom? or Baby Blue? or Christmas Song? or Let You Down?

Honestly, and I'll probably get dragged for this, I'd rather hear Out of My Hands than Rye Whiskey.

Why play one of your own songs when you can cover a Pete Seeger song that almost no one knows?

or, as we've seen from the gorge, dave has the ability to play tons of his own songs that the band normally plays. if he needed to add a solo song so someone could take a leak, how about ants, BOWA, or YNK, like from the gorge, or any of the dozens of other songs he could play on his own?

and idk about OOMH over rye whiskey. i think i'd rather just not hear either of them. dave could just tell a story for 5 minutes like he does during D+T shows if the band needs a breather for whatever reason.

[jmkratt]

Would definitely prefer Rye Whiskey over OOMH, that song has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I'm sure someone will start a 2022 Denver thread. I'm planning on Denver this summer, never been before, assuming they do Fiddler's again of course.

In recent years Denver typically seems to be an every other year stop. Don't be shocked if you don't see a Denver stop this summer.

I would be shocked if it was skipped. They sell those shows out.

They've come to Denver every tour since 2018. I would be more surprised if they didn't come back this year.

Weren't they technically on tap to be skipped in 2020?

You are correct. We were going to be skipped on the 2020 summer tour, but obviously that didn't happen at all, so we haven't actually been skipped since 2018. It's my understanding that some promoter in town wants to keep them "special" by not bringing them back every year. Not sure if there is any truth to this, but I seem to remember reading it somewhere.

[credin]

I looked back a bit. Denver has actually been sporadic rather then every other year that I thought.

2010- yes. 2011 - no. 2012 - no. 2013 - yes. 2014 - no. 2015 - yes. 2016 & 2017 - no. 2018 & 2019 - yes. 2020 - no (if there were shows played in 2020, Denver would have been a no. 2021 - yes.

So I guess with that mess...could be a show could not be. Lol.

You are correct. Can't remember the name of the promoter. It was in a Denver Post article after the dicks sporting good shows. Said something along the lines that he knows Colorado loves DMB and that they sell out but he did not want to bring them back every year to keep it "special". Complete nonsense. I will search for the article but the Denver post is rather hard to find things and/or have to have paid for a subscription to read certain articles.

[TypicalBilly14]

DMB covered a Phish song in Denver.

Interesting, however 2011 and 2017 were no's for different reasons.

Also interesting to learn about that promoter from you and Jesse- thanks for that. I'll be cheering for them to return to Denver this summer.

Throw on Salt Lake City again too, please.

[spoot388]

being an album tour and a history of good selling shows the last few times they've played at fiddlers, i'd be very surprised if denver gets skipped this year, regardless of what past trends say about how often they play here.

[Speilmen230]

Fiddler's calendar is essentially empty this year too. Only 6 shows booked total for the year. The weekend before Labor Day is available as well. If we go by 2018 and 2019, Denver was the "warm up" weekend before the Gorge, first shows back after the regular "break".

Fingers crossed my fellow Fiddler friends.

[Typical_Ant]

I believe the big promoter in Denver is Chuck Morris. Or was, I think he handed over the reigns pre covid and is now teaching music business at CSU. Fingers crossed that means maybe DMB could become and every year act again. Maybe they alternate between 1 and 2 night stands every other year. But Fiddlers has been hot the last 2 tours. Great crowd. Great sets and performances. Band seems to really enjoy it there for one reason or another.

I hated that post 2006 DMB became an every other year act, likely because they didn't sell out the Pepsi Center on a 2 night stand that tour. Tix were available very cheap day of. It's not really fair because they had just played 4 nights at Red Rocks a year prior and 2006 was a pretty flat year for the band in terms of excitement. Stand Up had fallen short of every fan hard core and casual. It was likely the middle of the falling out the band talks about so often.

-2007 was the first year they hadn't played in Colorado since 2004. 2004 was the first year they ever skipped since their first show here in 93.

-They headlined the Mile High Music Fest in 08.

-Skipped an album year in 2009 which makes no sense.
That tour was huge.

-2010 Once again tried to revive the MHMF, but the promoter of that realized that the fans were only coming for DMB and cancelled it the next year.

-2011 Break

-2012 because they had started a new tour, I assume they didn't count 2011 as a "skipped" year

- 2013 Dicks 2 night stand. N1 was 50% capacity, N2 sold out

- 2014 skip

-2015 new venue stop at Fiddlers for 2 sets. Great turn out and sellouts both nights. Really good shows. Likely the best shows the band had done in CO in some time.

2016- SKIP?? I never understood this one. Another tour before the break, and CO was skipped. Seemed like a missed oppty. I do wonder if the timing of there mid tour month break, and the day labor day falls effects this at all. If Labor Day is the first or the 7th. Does this make a difference in if they do CO and UT shows?

2017 - D&T tour. Nowhere west of the Mississippi

2018,2019, 2021 Fiddlers. 2020 would have been a skip for who knows why. All Sell outs. I think they could easily do 3 nights at Fiddlers. Tix were very hard to come by in 2019/21 and it seemed to be a destination spot for a lot of the crowd.

All signs point to a skip in 2022 minus the assumption that Chuck Morris is no longer running the show and who I believe is the reason they were on the "special" schedule.

Hahahahaha.

[kevinmavs]

More likely Denver is weekend of the 9th or weekend of the 16th?

[credin]

Sounds like it. Typically a nice time of year.

[spoot388]

rumor thread says "early sept" which would mean sept 9-10 as gorge would be the previous weekend
