hey, i'm a 58 year old grandfather who has seen everyone in concert -- beatles, stones, dylan, allmans, skynyrd, who, eagles, jt, fleetwood mac, doobies, live, etc. BY FAR, this is the best concert I've ever been to. 1. the setlist, 2. the band's energy, 3. the quality of musicisanship, 4. the crowd's energy. If you were there or have a copy, you know what I mean. If not, GET ONE!

One of my all-time fave shows!!! Band was SMOKING!
User: bpf3535
Review:
this was my 12th show and the band was on point. The stone was a great starter. I also got to hear the maker live for the first time. The crowd was also filled with energy. The only bad part of the show was the security guards kept telling me and my friends to get out of the aisle as we were dancing all over the place. Overall great show ranks in the middle of the 12 i have been to

WOW, I said they would back up the off night from before, but I couldn't imagine it would be this SICK!!! The stone opener was nasty, and you knew it woudl nuts from there on. Bridge into Rapunzel was a sweet surprise, crowd was into the change. Jimi was great, and whe Whhhhoooosss!!! were loud!!! Love Cry Freedom, only 2nd time for that. the maker, my first, was sick, and everyone got the 2step that they wanted, always a fav live. Went with dan and Kel and deters, got pretty on... Ggreat show, couldn't wait for philly next month....

Awesome! As close to a perfect setlist as Dave will ever play. The 15+ minute versions of Watchtower, Jimi Thing, and Two Step were amazing. The light show on tripping billies was stunning and everyone in the crowd was singing at the top of their lungs. An unforgettable evening.

This was one insane show. The energy in the crowd was undescribable and I don't think the band could have put together a better setlist. Best Billies I've ever heard, best Rapunzel I've ever heard, best Two Step I've ever heard.

Most likely the best show I was ever at. They played many of there old songs and jamed like I never heard them before. I couldn't stop dancing the whole show.
User: DMBterp898
Review:
WOW. What an Amazing setlist. Lots of songs that were not expected. SO much into the bridge and then into PNP rupunzel was amazing. I was ready for Too Much and very shocked when it was not played, but happt to hear Rupunzel.
When Stefan stayed on stage to do his solo before watchtower i looked at mo watch and realized it was only 1 hr into the show. I was not expecting a mid set Watchtower. All i can say is amazing set, amazing show, great second night. Can't Wait till the Tweeter Center on the waterfront.

Great Show. Lots of energy and lots of very solid songs. Rapunzel was insane, Watchtower is awesome, and dicky betts on Jimi was awesome. Two Step was awesome. Lots of songs i never heard. All in all, very very very solid.

SIIIIIIIIIIICK show; awesome band energy, great crowd, ridiculious setlist, ended with Two Step, couldn't have asked for anything more! Dave seemed so pumped tonight. This was show number #17 for me and I've been blessed to see some amazing shows (5-29-02, 12-21-02, 3 D&T's), but I have to say that this might be number one or two on the list!!!

totally different then night before, NO overlap whatsoever.
User: Haiku Jimi
Review:
Not many rarities (no spoon, minarets, last stop, etc) but still a kickass show! Best I've been to. The floor was literally shaking during What Would You Say, Watchtower had enough energy to fix any power outage, and Billies was just the best surprise of the night. LeRoi did a little dance when Carter was cheering him on in the middle of the set. Dave's voice was great, no weaknesses.
User: hipolito1
Review:
One of the greatest setlists I've seen in years. Best part about it is that lots of my friends who have never been to a show before saw this and are hooked. Night one was nothing worth talking about, except stay and #41, and the fact that all the new crap was played to make way for a classic old school set. I have no reason to go to the two hartford shows, they can't compare. If anybody can help me get a copy of the show, or tell me where to get it, my email is hipolito1@aol.com. Thanks!

ALL TIME GREATEST SHOW EVER.
FELT A BOND AMONG THE CROWD WHO HAD SUFFERED THROUGH THE 8-24 SHOW AND CAME BACK IN HOPES OF REDEMPTION. DAVE GAVE US A NIGHT TO NEVER FORGET. THE ENERGY ON THE STAGE, THE POWERFUL SET LIST, AND THE CROWD'S REACTION WERE OVERWHELMING. TIT WAS OLD SCHOOL DAVE MIXED WITH THE BEST OF HIS CURRENT RELEASES. SATELLITE, WWYS,SMTS, RAPUNZEL. JIMI THING BROUGHT THE HOUSE TO A NEW LEVEL - FOLLOWED BY A QUIET WAYG? WHEN THE STRUMS BEGAN FOR WAREHOUSE I KNEW DAVE WAS GIVING US EVERYTHING. TRIPPIN BILLIES BROUGHT ME BACK TO THE FIRST DAVE I FELL IN LOVE WITH. TO END THE NIGHT - TWO STEP - THE LIGHTS WERE CRAZY IN SYNC TO THE MUSIC AND THE AUDIENCE WAS COMPLETELY NUTS. I FELT PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY EXHAUSTED AFTERWARDS. ONLY REGRET WAS MY BF HAD NEVER SEEN DAVE BEFORE AND HE CAME WITH ME THE FIRST NIGHT AND DID NOT WANT TO GO EVER AGAIN. IT WAS A NIGHT I WOULD HAVE PREFERED TO BE WITH MY "USUAL" DAVE CONCERT BUDDIES.

A-fucking-mazing. Second row seats. Center stage. 10 feet away from Dave. He kept on looking over right at us. The band was in such a good mood. Dave said "Ya'll are making this a very special evening." Everyone was so happy and full of energy, even Stefan. He smiled and danced (shocking). This show will never be beaten.

Review:
This was easily one of the best DMB shows I have ever been to, even though my seats were located behind the stage. It's ok -- I got to watch Carter drum all night, which was ridiculous! The energy was through the roof, and this was probably the most well put together setlist I have ever seen Dave assemble, at least post-Everyday. The evening's greatest moments included a hardcore Stone opener, a sweet mid-set Watchtower, a funky Billies closer, and the best encore I have ever heard - The Maker / Two Step. Other than a standard If I Had It All, and a hard to hear Cry Freedom, this night was just about perfect.

Absolutely incredible show the band was pumped and the crowd made the show all the better. Sat dead center floor level. Opening with the stone and satelite was incredible. But i have to say billies simply outdid everything. They jammed it like crazy and was freekin awesome. Watchotwer was also crazy, crowd was nuts. i was totally suprised by the maker, which i loved and who can ask for a better ending that 2 step. Overall unbelievable show.

Man oh Man that show was INSANE! After a long day of selling grilled cheese and quesadillas, that was exactly what I needed. Jimi Thing with Dickie Betts was amazing and who else heard that Lou Reed tease??? Tripping Billies was soooo damn good. And Two Step of Course was a great song to end the show with. The MAker....wow that a first for me, it left me speachless. I cant wait for the Camden shows...

User: SHammett13

Not a bad show, a few too many slow songs like Cry Freedom and Satellite. But the big songs were big. Tripping Billies, Warehouse, Watchtower - awesome! I really wish I was at the concert the night before though. From reading that setlist, it sounded like it was even better.

Good show. I did not care for the Venue. Parking lot scene was great, but inside, the screens are small and up in the corner. We were at the opposite end of the stage and we could barely see the band. The show did open up with The Stone, which is such a great song to open with. Wasn't the best show I was ever at, but it was pretty good.
