Finally they come to my hometown for my 8th show. amazing show, i wish that more people were into it back in section 218 where i was. i was singing "hani hani, come and dance with me" during everyday and they were all looking at me like i was weird. no complaints about the show, just glad i was there. LIOG and watchtower were insane crazy during this mellow show

Something about smaller, indoor venues. The music was so loud, but in a very good way. I seem to remember the lighting and sound to be most memorable.

This was the best indoor arena show that I have ever heard dmb play before. The set list was sick and the encore was even better. I suggest everyone to download this show...you wont be disapointed.

Decent show. All 4 of us got to sit together on the floor. Seek Up is what really stuck out to me as this was the first time I heard it and it rocked! It had to have been about 20 minutes! Solid show, but not the best I've seen.

Great Set list! LIOG and Seek Up were great! Definitely a show at the top of my list.

Review:
unbelevable......had someannoying people around me but my head didnt move from the stage once untill almost all the way through lie in our graves when i noticed about half the crowd holdng up there lighter, boyd's solo was so energized and just increadible, my friend had this song played at his funeral in 95 so it was such an amazing song. Was entertaned by dae when he wa talking about being in rochester in a winter wonderland then walked away from the mic and came back and said "this is nothing compared to winter in bosnia". Im always paranoid that im not going to like the setlist but as usual i was pleasently surprised, even though im not a huge fan of everyday(still like it better then any song any other band does) i hav to say the way the crowd got into it made it an awsome closer. just another great time.

Great set, not too sure about the encore though.

OSW into Seek Up onto Grey Street? What an awesome way to start a show. Seek Up was just fantastic. I really highly recommend this arena. Rochester was a cool city - felt really safe and the Blue Cross has no 300-500 level seats. Every seat in the place is great. Halloween tease - DOH! I still haven't seen this live. I thought maybe at Central Park but no. I really didn't think too much of this encore after such a good main set. That's just my opinion though. LIOG was fantastic, as was DIDO.

Despite a setlist that looks great on paper I thought this show lacked energy.
User: Ebuzz08
Review:
Few songs could be better for an opener than DDTW! Then with Seek Up...wow. I was so into this show. The first hour of the concert was full of jammin tunes. It was great to hear DIDO, and give my man Butch some credit for his solo in LIOG. I really loved the concert, and was into it the whole time, but to be honest, the encore of everyday just didn't seem like it did the job.

One of the greatest shows he has ever played. What a great list very rare but awsome shows it was a great time watching them actually put their hearts into the music they really got into it and showed the crowed what they were made of.

An average setlist. Dave's voice sounded like it was struggling. This was the first show I've been to in my home town, so I was kind of disapointed. I'm hoping Albany tomorrow will be better.

After thinking about it, and listening to the show on disc, it really was a great show. I coulnd't help but leave a bit disappointed though. I was expecting/hoping to hear A Christmas Song and Dancing Nancies for the encore, 2 songs I have yet to hear live, but no luck. They went with Gravedigger (solo) and Everyday, which are great, but not new to me. Seek up was jammed for a long time, and its always great to end with Watchtower. Met some cool people and warehousers at the Dinosaur before, and after the show we waited in the snow by Boyd's bus, and finally saw him! He came out and quickly shook hands with the crowd and signed a few autographs...very cool.

This was my first show. I was blown away and counldn't wait for my next DMB encounter.
User: jobo5432
Review:
It was worth the drive. My buddy got his first Watchtower, and that made his night. Seeing Boyd do that F*CKED up solo in LIOG blew my mind!!! If you didn't see it, you can't appreciate it!! You who saw the show know what I mean!!!! Small but AWESOME crowd. Good venue, and I think Dave had fun. I would never pick Everyday (#36) to close on.. but it was the fist time I saw a smile on Dave's face all night, so it was worth it. Meeting Fonzi before the show, and Boyd after the show made my night too... A little slow in the middle, but this was amplified by the crowd not being involved to hear Loving Wings (which is 2000% better now than when I heard it at Post Gazette on 8.3.2002. Good show, and it'll be tough to beat the rest of this tour anyhow :) Thanks guys for the music and "Stay up and make some memories" is my new credo for life :)

I left my math mid-term early to go to this show, and it was worth it. After camping out 4 hours (yeah, some peopel were there 24) I got great seats and once again took my Digi camera, I have pictures :) the set list was great, although Gravedigger was the only new song for me at the show.
User: jsodell
Review:
great encore.....gravedigger was awesome. a first for me live. the best song was def everyday when the crowd got dave to sing #36

Oh security was so lacking. I was able to move form nosebleed to 60 yards from the stage!!! My pictures were great and "Gravedigger" was phenominal!! SO close to Dave and all I could do was scream.

Dont Drink the Water, great opener! Seek up, amazing, LIOG-my fav, also amazing, DRIVE IN DRIVE OUT! Holy shit I never thought I would hear that song in concert, KICKED ASS! and then Watchtower just like made my night, my favorite show I have been to yet.
User: organic_chick
Review:
I thought this show was fabulous. I've read a lot of people complaining about the setlist and all the songs that he didn't play, but I think those people are overlooking what he did play. Lie in our graves, seek up, and watchtower were amazing. I know a lot of people were upset because the sets were repitious, but I wouldnt know about repition between other nights because this is the only concert on the winter tour that I was able to go see. All in all, its dave. How could the show be anything but fantastic?

Another impressive show, teased with Halloween, and a little disappointing ended with watchtower and acoustic gravedigger which was the 2nd and 3rd last he played in Buffalo this summer.

WOW what a night...never though they would have played a jamming set like that one! I have to say that was the best show this winter by far. We will have to see how Albany stacks up to it. It was also the cap of the night to shake Boyds hand....what a hell of a show

User: whatyouare3641
Review:
This was one sweet show. It all started with "Don't Drink the Water", leading into One Sweet World. Songs that stuck out in my mind before the encore included Grey Street, Seek Up, Too Much, and Where Are You Going. Before leaving for his encore, Dave played a great version of Watchtower, featuring a solo by each musician, excluding unfortunately Carter. In his encore Dave played a great solo Gravedigger, and then the band played Everything with a 36 outro, which was very well taken by the crowd. Unfortunately for me, no Two Step was played or even teased, and i'd heard this "encore song" as an ordinary song last year at darien lake. if i'd heard a nice encore of two step, which i hear was played the next night in albany, i would give this show a perfect 11/10...but since the band played from approxamately 8:30 to 11, i'd give this show a 9 or even 10/10...keep the good work up dave
