Quite pleased with the show. No complaints regarding the band's chemistry or the crowd, both we solid. Dave had a blast during the acoustic set and ants, he was dancing around a lot more than usual. As for the setlist - 4 stars. Highlights were raven, lucky, 41, ants, and bowa. Lowlights were mercyhands (yawn) and SMLAM (blah). Thrilled the lovely ladies invitation got lost!

This was my 19th show, but first experience in the PIT, so that may have slightly swayed my objectivity. The band, and Dave and Boyd in particular, genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves. BOWA was a particular highlight of the night.

My brother bought my son 2 pit tickets for this show! The sound was not the greatest up that close but the experience of being so close that you could see the sweat falling from Dave's hand as he played the guitar PRICELESS!

Good songs, real treat getting my first BOWA - only took 17 shows! Opening set 2 with #41 was a nice change of pace, and loved the Too Much tease into a mid-set Ants. Even with the solid performances this was still an average show. Last year with Bela Fleck was hard to top for Burgettstown this year.

Carter had a rough night. The sun was against him in the opening set, his IEM was against him in the same set, then in the main set one of his cymbals was acting up and needed attention. He had a few slip ups. But that said, Carter having a few slipups is still better than any other drummer I'm likely to ever have the pleasure of witnessing.

It wasn't my favorite show. Of course I was elated to be there, but I've been to shows that were much more dynamic and exciting.

21st show. I've never been to a show that had such a great start and fizzled out to boredom. The acoustic set was fantastic. I really enjoyed Snow Outside, especially the jam at the end. The electric set started with perfection, #41, SMTS>Bridge>Ants. That's a great run. No doubt. Then the show fell off a cliff. I was bored to tears with Mercy>OOMH, and the rest of the set was uninspiring and not well placed. Encore was ok, BOWA is always a treat and PNP>Rapunzel is nice, just don't like it as a closer. I give the show a 2. Memorable to be sure, but not for a good reason.

PITT - Between Dave and Fonz. Finally made eye contact with Dave during both encore songs. He smiled nodded my way and was laughing with me

Acoustic set was amazing, went a little south by the end of the electric set, but was still a great show

Great venue! Nice pavilion height with minimal obstruction. Set list was sub-par and seems the show before this, Cincy had more energy.

The show was good. The band was in top form, especially Boyd. The setlist, however, was lacking. I felt it didn't flow well and the energy certainly didn't hold up through the show. The acoustic setlist was great, though.

In the minority apparently, but I loved this show. We had a great crew around us in Section 6, and we all had a blast. It was somewhat of a mellow show, but I really dug the atmosphere. This was my first time at the venue and I'm hoping to make the trip again next year!

solo last minute with april. missed the first 3.5 songs due to major back-ups in security. drunken fans are a major downer. dirt cheap tix made up for the usual choppy electric set. was fun but not impressed with the band or the 2set at this time.

Back to back shows and 1 has to be a clunker. Dave can not write 2 good set lists in a row. Acoustic set was good but predictable. Beginning of electric was great and then the train wreck happened. Repeats from the night before (Dave know people follow the band right?) Mercy into Out Of My Hands can go away forever. Rooftop is overplayed. Shake Me again? Too many good songs left on the shelf. Crowd was bored during the entire middle of the electric set. Dave tries too hard to get the crowd to like bad songs.

Rainy, cold day and the show was not up to par with Burgettstown shows from the past (especially the one from the year before). There seemed to be sound problems at the beginning, which I believe was part of the reason Carter didn't throw any drumsticks. They seem to play a lot of songs that audiences are obviously sick of hearing like Mercy

The acoustic set was great! The electric was very predictable with the exception of the Pantala->Rapunzel encore which made my night!

I've never been to a show with a more palpable energy drop off than this one after 41>Ants. Just not a good show. Band didn't seem into it, very standard performances all around... highlights were Two step, Raven and BOWA

I give it a 3, but must say that I left disappointed. Accoustic set started slow but then picked up. It was amazing to see the venue wake up once "Two Step" started. Was really glad to hear "Raven".
The electric? Eh, this gets 2 stars. Such a great start, with the crowd losing it to "Ants", but then it fell off badly. "Mercyhands" can take a long break. It just seems like Dave started to write a great set list and then said never mind.
The show had the potential, but was surely a tad disappointing.

I thought the acoustic set was excellent. The second set list wasn\\\'t as strong as others, but they performed all the songs well, and the band definitely had energy. I\\\'m probably in the minority, but I really liked the show.

Nice show. First time in Burgetstown. Thought it flowed well but the wife got bored. Dave slowed down Everyday and .write a Song and also noticed that he is not trying to hit the high notes for voice preservation.

This was the worst show I've seen the band play, ever. Terrible energy, terrible song selection, Dave forgot the lyrics several times, all around bad, bad show. The crowd checked out as soon as he hit Mercy->OOMH and never came back.
