Anyone else think this intro to Dreamgirl is badass?

I think it’s beautiful. This entire selection is badass and earns it’s place in the LT series. Just wish it was available as a 24-bit 96 kHz download like LT29 is despite LT45 being a more recent show.

I'm not sure anyone will get a grasp on the decisions from management on these releases.

But you're very right about the setlist and just the songs in general...Mercy is another that is fabulous.

[Roose13]

I don't like Mercy at all but I thought this was gorgeous. I don't like it live and likely sat down during the show when it started but this mix and release do it justice. Same with Dreamgirl. It's so good, and I was actually excited to get this at the show.

How is Dave’s voice?

Dave's voice is about as good as it ever has been on this release.

[Dave&Tim41]

This version of Typical Situation might be one of my favorites... Jeff is amazing on the jam.

Easily his best vocal performance in the 10 or so years his voice has had struggles in terms of releases

Agreed, Dave actually has a voice on this one . Still shocked we had to wait 5 years for easily the best show of 2013 .

My only gripe that night was that I wished Broken Things had opened over Dreamgirl , as AFTW was still kinda new.

June 2013 had some great shows . LT 29 is excellent , as it Hartford N1 , maybe a future LT ?

For me , this gig is an example when Dave actually took a moment to write a great setlist . A few new tunes with tons of classics . The end result being a fantastic show. Same goes for LT 35 . New tunes + classics = great show . Not sure why this is so hard for Dave to do .

[Fpuonpko]

I like the Dreamgirl intro. So fantastic.

Also, I never noticed that lyric change on "Drunken Soldier" - I know it hasn't been played in a few years anyway, and I haven't listened to it live much but did he always have that when its played live?


ALBUM:
Look and listen
And you decide what to believe
Shine your light while you got one

LIVE:
Look and listen
Try your best to not be confused
But sometimes shit happens
And you got it...shiiiiit

that sucks no full LIOG???

No, he just flubbed the lyrics. I think that's what the "shiiiit" was.

Was played the night before without the reprise. I wish they had a bonus disc with this release that included the reprise.

[sheldonlevene]

This is the most accurately mixed DMB 3.0 LT I've heard. Really lovely to hear no one artificially muted or bumped up.

[dobyblue]

The mastering is a little aggressive here and there but that's unfortunately expected for full band 3.0 material (WH10v3 notwithstanding) - the mix is nice and overall it's a great show.

This and Live in Atlantic City are now my favorite post-Roi + Tim shows to be released.

Jeff and Carter absolutely rip this Typical.

[dobyblue]

Wow!! Just finished listening to some of this at reference levels on the main system - how great is Carter mixed on this? This Mercy is just so fucking good!!

LOVE this flub/improv moment. The "Sheeeeeit" hits right before the turn to the chorus and is just fucking great.

Dreamgirl, Mercy and Drunken Solider are some of my favorites from this release, which is wild to type out lol. Such an incredible show/release.

[miro_eight]

This is my favorite released Joyride.

Does anyone else think that if Joyride was written post-Stand Up a lot more fans would dislike it? Maybe I should say Big Whiskey era or later with Tim’s louder guitar

To your knowledge, has the DMBLive series been discontinued?

Someone should probably tell management then, because it's been over a year since the last new DMBlive release.

Definitely. If Joyride came out today people would complain about how there's no horn solo or bitch about how crappy the lyrics are ("Bobblehead Jesus"?) and then go on to say "this band is fucked"... But because it was written in 2004 everyone loves that song!

[snow1868]

Joyride is easily the weakest of the '04 songs.

[YouNeverKnow25]

I thought they were all pretty bad but joyride was my favorite of them.

crazy easy, sugar will were bad

[YouNeverKnow25]

very much so

[YouNeverKnow25]

for my money over the years people have confused "not as bad as what came after" with "actually good"
