The show started off just...okay and it was real up and down until the sick run of songs starting at Nancies. Two Step was INCREDIBLE. Carter is not a human being. Got my FIRST Halloween!!! The encore saved the set from being mediocre

I cannot think of a better show that I’ve seen to date. Every song had me captivated, I never left the seats in 104. {Planned to go to the lawn around halfway to smoke w/ Kishan and Todd. I told Ryan to go w/o me because I was so into the show. After he left, Shotgun was played. Shotgun was an absolute surprise (tour debut). Went with Ryan, Kishan, and Todd but only Ryan and I had indoor seats.

I was wondering the lawn by myself since my friends had tickets inside. Dancing was played so it was well worth it.

Very good. Shotgun came out of nowhere, and The Riff sounded wonderful. Set started off slow, but wow, look at it starting with Dancing Nancies.

Dave said it in the beginning that it was a slow start and he was not kidding. Mellow mix with some exciting bits. Great energy & solos from Nancies to the end.

No real surprises with the setlist, but the band brought it. YMDT, Nancies, Warehouse, Jimi Thing, Two Step all were as strong as they've ever been. Heard each song plenty of times now and was still great.
Predicted we'd get a Halloween/Billies encore, then figured that was out when they played So Damn Lucky for so long. Three full band song encore is awesome.
The Riff seems like it's got a lot of potential to be a fan favorite. Worth a download to check it out for yourself.

These shows in Camden were my first DMB shows (I live in Brazil), so I cannot compare them to other shows. But I loved them both. Of course I would chance the setlist here and there, like everyone else. Missed #41 and Lie in Your Grave, but I can't complaim. Hope I have other chances to see the band live in the future.

Surprised that there are any negative comments here about this show. It was my 110th show and I thought it was outstanding. Two of the first three songs were Grace Is Gone and You Never Know, two of my favorites. Shotgun was fantastic. The world premiere of The Riff (easily the best of the new songs, IMHO) Nancies>Warehouse. Great Jimi with Roots horns. Everybody Wake up sounded great. Two Step was just incredible one of the best I have heard (out of 49 total for me). An encore of So Damn Lucky, Halloween and Tripping Billies. If you weren't thrilled by this show, you should just simply stop going. Nothing the band can do will excite you.

Worst show seen in the last 13 years. ZZZZZZZZZZ for about the first five songs. Compared to the setlist the night before (which was amazing) it was a big letdown. The lone highlights were great renditions of Dancing Nancies & Jimi Thing. Never saw so many people leaving early

Went to the show with Matt Rosenberg, who did not pay for the ticket. OK show. Got the last poster off the wall cause the guys who i had tipped from the night before took care of me. Wish the selecton of songs was a little better.

This was my second birthday show (2008). Show was a disappointment to me setlist wise. The Riff's debut was incredible and it was a pretty strong finish to the show.

Extremely tough show to rate. So wanted to give it a 5, but this is why I couldn't, and whereas the previous night was a solid 4/5, this one was somewhat more complicated. The show started out with a fun vibe, and the Busted Stuff songs are always a pleasure to hear, and the crowd was loving it. Here's where it got into 4 territory, they slowed it down into standard PM->Satellite, followed by If Only, while pretty, also mellow, and when YMDT and my beloved Shotgun came on I thought, here's where they start to pick it up again. I was right, and wrong. A midset You and Me was cute, but kind of unnecessary, and kind of gave the little pickup just obtained a halt. The Riff breakout was amazing. Unfortunately the mood again shifted with Out of My Hands. Maybe the band was tired, who knows, but the mood yet again took another turn.
I'm not gonna naysay, from Nancies to the closer the band was on fire, nonstop, and I had a blast. The band was having a blast. But the last time they were in Camden (N2), the end of the setlist looked almost identical, and a band like DMB could mix it up.
Where's my LIOG? Say Goodbye? DIDO? These haven't been played in Camden in ages and made no appearance.
The band played almost 3 hours according to the almanac, and honestly I had an incredible time. It lives however in the shadow of N2 Camden 2010, and I guess between the weird up and down swings of energy and the lack of setlist variability/creativity from the band, I hadda give it a 4.

I thought it was a boring show up until dancing nancies. Hearing Shotgun and The Riff was incredible as well. Halloween into Billies was also too predicatable. I'm looking forward to Hershey on friday. That should be a kick ass show.

I didn't mind the slow start because .... Shotgun killed later. The Riff (1st play) awesome, DN > Warehouse > Jimi, best part of the show for me. Overall, really good night and a big thanks to the camera man behind section 101 who remembered me and saved a second set list - really nice guy and made the night, thanks again!!!
