Good show from what I remember of it! Lawn was a little rough because of the rain. Solid set!

Great show in the rain. Met a dude from Wall and toked with him all night in the lawn. Fun time, drunk friends. Flat tires.

What started as a mist in the early afternoon turned into a light rain just before the show. By the time the show started, the heavens opened. Even in a poncho I managed to get soaking wet, but I'll tell you this...hearing "Don't Drink the Water" in the pouring rain was humorous and wildly exciting. "#41" was wonderful and "So Right" fit perfectly within the encore.

Added this show last minute and just chilled on the lawn solo. The run from Recently until the end was great. Finally caught Captain, and Cry Freedom was beautiful. Was so into that second half, I barely noticed the rain. Good to hear DIDO again too.

Decent show kind of pedestrian after a few days off by the band. Solid but not exactly unique.

Not the best one I've ever seen, but it was awesome to hear some of the old stuff they haven't done in a while!

It was a great show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. It was nice to see DMB somewhere else rather than Camden, NJ for a change.
Opening up with “Tripping Billies” and ending the night with “Ants Marching” pretty much says it all. It was a great show and a great set list. Other highlights for me included “Save Me”, “The Idea of You”, “#41”, and “Corn Bread” was a lot of fun. Probably the best version of “Recently” that I have ever heard was another high spot for me personally. A fantastic rendition of “Belly Belly Nice” was excellent and a couple of surprises of “Crash Into Me” and “Drive In Drive Out” were also cool to hear again. An excellent, jamming “Jimi Thing” ended the set.
A nice encore of songs “So Right” and “Ants Marching” ended this really fun night in north Jersey. Overall, it was another solid performance by DMB and enjoyed every minute of it.

Loved Recently, Captain, Drive In Drive Out. Sickest Jimmy Thing I've seen in a long time... maybe ever.

Nothing out of this world. Crowd sucked (Jersey). Weak start, strong finish from the boys. Was 7 rows back and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. Lots of dancing out of Dave, big smiles out of Stefan, Boyd getting involved with the crowd. Fun night dancing by myself.

Show No. 52 for me, and first one in a long time that I didn’t go with any Ants. I was able to go with 3 really close friends and 2 of our girls and all of us had a blast last night. We were in 405, Row B and had a great view of the stage, although the sound was a bit muddy at times. Thankfully we didn’t get a drop of rain on us until the show was over and we walked back to the cars.
I would have to say that this was a solid 4-4.5 star concert. I’m really glad there were so many older songs in the setlist and only 1 song from BW, although I am a bit disappointed that there was no Snow Outside or Drunken Soldier… the start of the show was really weak, and we used the time to get posters and booze and hit up the bathrooms. It was one of the very few DMB shows that I actually missed the opening song, and I have to admit I wasn’t annoyed at all this time. We were seated at the end of Rooftop and from there I thought it was a solid show.
I was stoked to hear #41, my favourite concert song plus I wore my 41 Mets jersey for the first time. Recently was a real treat, especially with the “pretty, pretty girl” outro. Carter’s solo into Spaceman threw us off, but after some Cornbread funkiness we went nuts for Grey Street and Captain. DIDO into Jimi Thing to close out the first set was insane (that… was some baaad isht). The encore of So Right into Ants was a great way to end the night, although not the same level of energy as what ended the first set. Maybe if so many people didn’t leave early we could have had one of those longer encores.

Phenomenal show. The band was super tight tonight. My 41st show and the played #41. Maybe I should just hang it up now. Sick run from DDTW to DIDO. And a 2:30 Blue Water! Only complaint is Jimi Thing. I would prefer two more shorter songs there than another 18 minute version of Jimi. Seems like I get that every show.

A very white bread or vanilla show - almost the same set list as Scranton last week... I can\'t say I was disappointed ... but it wasn\'t my favorite show I\'ve been to... All in all, it\'s always a pleasure to see the fellas play. I was VERY let down by the sound in our section 403 - awful sound up there... however, toward the end of the night we moved down a section and it was night and day... perhaps that would have changed my overall opinion on the show...
