It was my second show and I loved it. I was on the lawn grooving to the sweet jams they put out. Loved SMTS--> ASTB --> WWYS. Liked to #40 tease as well as AATW. My favorite Stay version, which went great as the opener. Just an amazing show.

Awesome.
The setlist may not be appreciated by most people, but I think it was great. Stay was an awesome opener, best version I have heard. Every jam was great.

My first show was at this venue last year, so it felt like a homecoming for myself. What an awesome show! Ants! Watchtower! Song that Jane likes! I have never heard these songs before live so it made my day! Can't wait for tomorrow's show.

Another amazing concert. I was ten rows back from the stage in the center. He played with great energy.

This was a good show! Not the best I have been to but very good! I heard two new songs that I haven't heard before live so that was definitely a plus! The only problem I have with Nissan shows is the parking and getting out of the venue!

show was great. ring of fire brought a tear but was a very classy tribute with a very classy reaction of a lighter visual. Granny was nice and Watchtower was unbelievable. Only took a mere 2 hrs to get out of the parking lot but still awesome show

The energy from the band this year has just been through the roof!! Another incredible performance from the best band on the planet imho.
The tribute to Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire) just made my night. Some techies came out to make some adjustments to Carter's set, and Dave just turned around and started into Ring of Fire. Could not believe it! Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for another superb performance, and I have to say, the band is just tearing it up this tour.

Not as impressive as thursday in hershey, but still a solid set list. More upbeat tunes tonight, highlights included granny, recently, ants, and cry freedom

This show and the ATL show 7 days later fight it out for the title of worst DMB shows I've ever seen. I didn't feel the setlist or the energy the band played with. Kinda wish I hadn't made the 8 hr trek for this one. Plus the company I was with that night didn't help matters either.

granny and the hurtin i put on a captain morgan handle were the highlights. great show. took 2.5 hours to get out the lot.

It was awesome. First DMB show, though I've been a fan for several years. I'd been told how amazing of an experience it would be but couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like. Definetley the first in a long line of DMB shows.
User: DaveFann4Life

Rhyme & Reason, Ring of Fire, Cry Freedom and a very powerful Watchtower tonight...

great show overall. surprising ants, help myself, and recently. nice of dave to pay tribute to the late johnny cash. probably in the top 4 shows i have seen.

Good Show. Not much jamming. 7.5 out of 10. They teased #40 before too much.
User: dmbkevspaceyfan
Review:
Ring of Fire was nice!
User: dmbrunnelson
Review:
I prefer the longer songs with lots of jams but there were several highlights; Ring of Fire (Cash tribute), OSW, Help Myself, Stay was unbelievable, Ants in the middle, the band had a lot of energy. I would have liked a different encore set, but overall the show was decent. I expected a little too much after going to Hershey 2 nights before.
User: Dr. Strangelove
Review:
I agree with the other reviews above me. VERY solid show. Every song was just "on". Also, I'm pretty sure Dave played the entire song Ring of Fire (not a tease). It's a really short song. Recordings will confirm this, of course. And there was a #40 tease before Too Much (but it was more like the band forgot the song so just didn't want to play it...read my post in the setlist discussion). Good show!

User: explorer00
Review:
Very good mix of old and new.
Rhyme & Reason and Granny really made the show.
Wasn't a big fan of What You Are as the encore. I have been seeing this past summer that he has been doing that and hoped he wouldn't do that, but oh well.
User: ferrari73087
Review:
VERYYYYY INCREDIBLE! Ants Marching and Watchtower blew me away... so did Recently and every other song they played! It was great that Ring of Fire was played too.
User: firedancer430
Review:
This show isnt at the top of my list as favorites. Yes The Ring of Fire Song, Recently w/ pretty pretty girl, and #40 tease was great, but all the rest of the songs repeats from hershey the show before and camdens. I wish they pulled some unplayed out songs (if that makes sense) last night. But it was still a great time, new venue, 8hrs total driving, and 1hr and 15 min. of getting out of the parking lot. What more can you ask for? Cant wait for central park. This show was good...but could be better
User: flash44
Review:
Great Show. It took my bother, it was his first DMB show. Want's to go again. The energy was amazing. I was turned off by the encore. I don't like Too Much. WYA is a little predictible. Especially since he closed with it last year. He could have put another song or two in. Fool to think -> Grace! I love it! Jane was a nice suprise, so was recently, which was great.

Review:
Great show . . . Sound was great (a Nissan first imho) . . . Stay opening was a pleasant surprise . . . I couldn't hear ring of fire from the back lawn, but that's awesome . . . House music after the encore started with Three's Company themesong . . . Peace to the legends of Johnny Cash & John Ritter

Good show - drove down from Pittsburgh with the guys for it. Best tour shirt Ive had until 2010, although it has mysteriously gone missing. It was found again a week before we moved home from Los Angeles, but disappeared again by the time we arrived back in the Burgh. Also, the Pitt t-shirt I was wearing at the concert has not been seen since that nice. Coincidence? Loved Ring of Fire, and my first Recently. Neat venue, but horrible lot. Took us almost two hours to get on the highway, and then all we wanted was coffee and a bathroom, and it took us almost an hour to find a place that was open!

One of the best Dave shows I've ever been to. Opened with Stay (instead of closed), Granny, OSW, Cry Freedom, Grey Street, Jane, Cash tribute of Ring of Fire, and a #40 tease!!! Great show.

Pretty decent show for the "newer" shows. Granny and the intro to One Sweet World was a pleasant suprise. THe Cash tribute was suttle, but got the point across. It was a much better than VB the next evening.

Flat out excellent. This was his best Virginia show in over 3 years (but it only lasted one night - the Va. Beach show on 9/14 was better than this one!).

Tonight's performance was great, and the setlist was even better. A Stay opener is great, perfect message for the fans... "Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay here for awhile." I really like Fool to Think->Grace is Gone. The Ring of Fire tribute was a nice surprise, good touch there. My first and only Recently, very nice. Midset Ants was good, Cry Freedom sweet, and then the STJL, SMTS->WWYS, Watchtower to close the regular set was pure energy. The encore of Too Much and What You Are was good, I've seen better, but we left the night with a hella lot of energy. Great show.

I swear Dave was not feeling good, he played songs that were not of the type that I have seen before. He didn't play crowd pleaser songs, which was nice, because the radio fans are all about that and someone who actually appreciates all of his music. The jams were the best I've ever seen. An interesting show, completely different than I have seen before.

A W E S O M E!!!! Help Myself, Cry Freedom, Song that Jane likes all in one! They could have did a different closer cause they closed with What You Are last year at Nissan, but it still ROCKED! DMB at Nissan is awesome!

Obviously, folks have heard that Dave performed a short rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." Not a bad show -- it wasn't one that "knocked me out," per se, but it was nice to attend the show. I'd never been to Nissan before -- they need to work on their facilities. Definitely a lack of bathrooms near the parking lots.
