I remember when Pearl Jam would have done the NJ > Brazil > NY tour dates within a week way back when. 😂

That Sao Paolo festival must be paying in gold bars

Complaining about not having to get in and out of Great Woods proves that is a fanbase of sickos

Agreed.
As much as I hate Fenway, I'll take it over Mansfield... I'm so glad they stopped playing there.

Sao Paolo in between two New York dates in that time span is WILD

CantKeepmedown · January 28

Death, taxes, and DMB playing 30-40 shows nearly every summer. Good for him and his fans.

And of course this is the year my entire family of five and my sister and nephew want to go with me! I put in for my Pit/Lowers pair request, the rest of them can have fun on the lawn!

DMB fans have it good. I wish i was a fan lol

Shaindli1 · January 28

Envious of that schedule, though let's face it: if PJ did the same I'd go bankrupt.

But then your music tastes would be questionable.

I always thinks it's so bizarre when people say shit like this -- music is so deeply personal for me that I just think it's so weird to judge what someone else likes. I don't personally like DMB but I don't think my musical taste is any better than someone who does because I like PJ -- that just feels like middle school mentality to me.

Counterpoint: It's fun to make fun of bands you don't like and, knowing how tastes vary, you shouldn't take it personally if someone shits on a band you like

I agree you shouldn't take it personally, and I wouldn't. I also wouldn't wanna be around someone who does. And if it's fun for you then fucking rock on, man -- live your best life. I just think it's kid shit and when I stopped having the "only my music is cool" attitude it opened me up to soooo much shit I wasn't allowing myself to like.

I don't really care for DMB but have a lot of respect for him as a musician and for the band as a whole. And there are some bangers in there -- I always like that Two Step song...something about that shuffling bluegrass beat and the melody is really interesting. I saw a post come across my feed recently when he was talking about getting inducted in the HoF and then told a story about the first club they played in and it was really touching...makes you realize how far they've come.

Anyways...how boring would it be if we all liked the same stuff?

Its better conversation and more on topic than quoting a movie for 20+ pages

BloodMeridian80 · January 28

Shawshank is the DMB of movies.

Hoping for a late summer Canada leg. I would love to visit Montreal for the 1st time.

RatherStarved · January 28

Saw 25 new posts. Got excited. Now disappointed.

I totally agree with you. I don’t care what music anyone listens to and will never judge. Unless you like Dave Matthews. DMB is the only exception.

Shaindli1 · January 29

The DMB discussion here is not off-topic. The point is that their tour is comprehensive and includes many of the cities / venues PJ used to play.

Go Animal · January 29

Hey @LeafsJaysCubsRaptorsFan - any cities worth checking out this fall? Y'know, for sightseeing...

HailHailVitalogy · January 29

I saw Billy Strings this past weekend in Denver. At first I hated the 20 minute break, but thought it would be great for PJ to get back up to 2 hour and 40 min shows. 8pm-9:20pm first set, 20 minute break, 9:40-11pm second set. Essentially get two main sets, would be cool.

Something about not being able to pee during the Even Flow solo.

September's always a great time to travel, no matter what's going on.

I saw Sturgill Simpson a few months back -- a friend of mine had an extra ticket. A lot of overlap with that Billy Strings crowd. Talented musicians and all that but probably wouldn't go again.

Anyways his format is he plays for three hours straight no break, no encore, and very little crowd banter. And while I think there are some pros to that I just feel like a break somewhere makes the whole experience better -- go to the bathroom, grab another beer, and get ready for the finale.

CantKeepmedown · January 29

The problem with the break or encore is your dealing with everyone else that is going to the bathroom or concessions. PJ's encores are so quick you absolutely risk missing the first song of the encore. I'd much rather head out during a longer song, or a song I don't necessarily care about missing and not have to fight the crowds. But that is just me.

I've gotten pretty good at hitting the bathroom right before the lights go down and then can pretty much hold it in for the next 2.5 hours lol. I typically never go get another beer during the show.
