The wife and I got to go back stage and meet Dave for the first time ever. We took pictures with Dave and he signed our event poster...wishing us a happy wedding which was coming up in August.

Just great, great show. Not much else to say about it. First warehouse, nancies and idea of you of the tour. Also, first show in 6 years.

Jessie jumped the warehouse VIP fence as they were moving it and saved us seats. We were dead center about 5 ft. into the lawn, with absolutely nothing blocking our view. It was an amazing concert.

Great setlist - Dreaming Tree was incredible. YMDT is actually a great closer. Lots of energy from the band and crowd. Best I have seen them since Red Rocks.

This show was amazing. Playing Warehouse 2nd?? And then pulling Money out of no where. Add Dancing Nancies to that, and this is easily the best DMB show of the 3 I've been to. I feel like there was not a single disappointing song played. The guys were full of energy, the crowd was into it, and Michigan's weather provided some sweet lightning.

Awesome Because They Played Hey Hey My My And No One Knew The Song Except My Buddy And I...Also They Played Tripping Billies As Their Encore Instead Of Two Step Or Warehouse Or Something Like That..

Great show with a lot of the old staples. Too Much was one of the best that I have seen. Missed Butch but Tim filled in nicely with a new, neat sound.

Unbelievable! I'm still blown away with the setlist and the energy of the band & the crowd. This could be the best show of the entire tour this year. I really hope that the guys at least pull a track for warehouse members or even better...LiveTrax Vol 13!!!

Not bad. Enjoyed Dreaming Tree, Money, So Damn Lucky, Nancies, and Two Step. Tripping Billies was awesome. I thought it was better than the '07 show. Toronto hear we come!

Awesome solid show. Lots of energy. Was lucky enough to be in the pavilion, but the lawn got rained on and there was plenty of thunder and lightning to go along with the show. Was intense and the crowd was really into it. Lots of intense songs, nothing too rare or out of the ordinary though. Nice to get to see the first Warehouse and Nancies of the season. Two Step is always good, tim rocked a great solo. You Might die trying and Too Much made my night. Tripping Billies is always good, but always hoping for something rarer as an encore. The Idea Of You was disgusting to me now having heard it 5 of my 7 shows, but oh well, can't win em all. Can't wait till Rothbury and Noblesville.

Row KK, Seat 28. Second DMB concert and the closest I have ever been to the stage in ALL the concerts I have been to. Heidi came along with me as she is a DMB fan as well. Received tickets through the warehouse but the camara man's butt was in our way. We later learned if we had arrived earlier, they could of placed us in the third row. We were both sick after hearing about this. Great show anyways and Gravedigger was awesome!

Fantastic show! Definitely in the top three of my favourites thus far.
Money and Hey Hey My My were awesome additions - very enjoyable covers - Also, hearing You Might Die Trying was a pleasure.

never a dull moment. my mouth was thirsty for a beer but the non-stop awesomeness never let me leave my dancing location. Tim has brought a new life to this band. Dave is loving DT and I was in heaven during his wailing to end the tune. (sigh)

Pretty solid show. The highlights were Warehouse, The Dreaming Tree, What You Are, Two Step, Dancing Nancies, and Tripping Billies. The band seemed to be enjoying themselves, so hopefully next year they come back for a two-night stand.

I loved the show. It's always amazing to see Dave. I was shocked when Tim walked on stage and it made the show just that much better. He played an awesome solo too. The only songs I wanted Dave to play we're Warehouse and Too Much and he rocked them both. I absolutely feel in love with Hey Hey My My. Dave really loved the rain and changed some lyrics around to make the people on the lawn laugh a little bit. The thunder and lighting really added to the show. The stage and lighting we're absolutely breath taking. I hope everyone loved this show as much as I did.

Great show! My 8th... and the best one so far. Crowd's energy was awesome throughout the night. Two step was awesome, one of the the best single song performance i've seen in the 8 shows I've been to. Great to see the full band playing some of the Some Devil stuff... and you can't beat Tim Reynolds. Can't wait for Columbus!

Once again DMB blew my mind away. Having Tim play with them was awesome. I've never seen him play with the band so i was very excited. I didn't know what was going on with the screen over the stage, usually they all walk out maybe dave says something and they start playing. They came out and dave started playing Everyday and after boyds little solo that he does everyone eles came in and the screen came up. It was a really sweet opening. Wharehouse was awesome, i havent heard that in a long time. The Idea Of You all i can say is WOW. wasn't expecting that. I'm so glad he played So Damn Lucky. Its one of my favs. Nancies was also one i didn't expect. The best part was HEY,HEY,MY,MY. I gotta say being a huge Neil fan it was so stellar to see Them cover that. Dave did a amazing job with the vocals. Overall it was a good show. I wish he would have played Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd. it has been in the line up and i love that song, also what is it with pine knob? every year time i go see them there the crowd sucks. for everyday i think only forty people maybe were singing honey honey come and dance with me? and when they played dreaming tree everyone was talking. Whats going on Michigan? I'm glad to see so many people are supporting dave, but i was just disapointed with the crowds participation. And why is it nessasary to get so drunk that you can't even stand up. (the girl next to us was wasted and kept falling over, her boyfriend was like holding her up. it was pretty funny but sad at the same time. she missed a good show.) I hope dave comes back next year and i can't wait to see him at Rothbury!!!

An awesome season opener to say the least...money and hey hey my my covers were sick. Tim Reynolds rips up the guitar and although Butch is missed the electric guitar gives the band an almost new sound. Gravedigger was another stand out.

Ok. So I'm biased b/c So Damn Lucky is my current favorite tune ever and I had never heard the band play it, much less kick the shit out of it like they did Monday night. I loved the set list and couldn't believe that I didn't miss Butch more. 'nuff said for now.

Yeah right!!! This concert was amazing. The opening run of songs was unbelievable however Warehouse is better in the dark. Second time ive seen Dreaming Tree and it is still just as extraordinary as anything. Good mix of albums and IOY and So damn Lucky are great. Rain and storm made the lawn twice as fun. So pumped for Nobelsville....Look for the White School bus at the campground if your looking for a party....

Overall a really good show. It seemed like traffic getting to DTE was worse than normal, but what can you do? I really enjoyed the setlist. I thought the band played a great variety of favs with some different stuff thrown in. Pink Floyd? Neil Young? Kinda cool. The rain really brought some energy and excitement, even for those in the Pavillion. I loved Dancing Nancies and though Boyd had an amazing solo!!! Overall it cool to have Tim playing with the group, but I thought that the timbre of his solo (Highly distorted) didn't blend at all with the rest of the band in Two Step. Still a great show and I really enjoyed it.

It was nice to see Timmy jam with DMB, but I was hoping for a better setlist. "Money" was definately the highlight of the night, and "Sister" came in at a close 2nd. A solid performance overall.

Amazing show compared to my first one there in 2006. Solid setlist with a nice cover of Pink Floyd "Money". I thought the rain and lightning would kill the crowd energy on the lawn, but I was wrong.

Absolutely amazing. Finally got to see Dreaming Tree and it lived up to all of my personal hype...just fantastic. The lightning flashing over the stage from up on the lawn definitely added to the atmosphere. All in all just a wonderful show, definitely one of my favorites.

Tim Reynolds on electric guitar will make this an awesome tour, and this setlist contributed to a great show. Money is an awesome cover, never thought I'd hear DMB do Pink Floyd. You Might Die Trying continues to rock and I still love Cornbread. They spared me the pain of hearing Everyday end the show by opening with it instead, so that was awesome. Tim's electric guitar rocks and makes you not miss Butch. The video screen is pretty cool, especially when they have Rashawn up in XXXL on it! Looking forward to more this summer.

Awesome show thanks to my great seats. Warehouse is still alive without Butch, Tim's solo at the end of Cornbread was sweet, the old Too Much and everthing else was great. Glad to see IOY isn't dead. Sucks I don't have any more shows coming up. Hope they keep coming back here again and again.

The band definitely came through for a crowd that clearly showed up for a great show. On a normal night you look back during crash and it seems like everyone is singing. Tonight, it seemed like every time I looked all around, everyone was singing and into it, no matter what the song was. The interaction of the crowd makes or breaks a show and in this case it blew me away. I was really expecting to notice BUTCH missing, but sadly I didn't. TIM didn't overpower as I had expected him to, the cover songs were better than expected and this show did a great job of keeping it's momentum. I've seen 31 shows and this was the first one that really compelled me to write a review and thank the band. See you in Noblesville and at The Gorge.

Great first half for me, couldn't be any better. The second half trailed for me in energy and selection. It was probably because the first half was so amazing though. Great show as always. Thanks guys. --RIP Roi
