Just saw DMB last night at Blossom. What a fucking sweet show. I can't believe some people here continue to diss DMB. Yes, a lot of their fans are frat boys who just go for the party. But, hell, that was an amazing show. The energy there was incredible, the band was incredibly tight. All I can say is that Boyd Tinsley is the fucking man! He went right up to the end of the stage and bent down and played his ass off during Louisiana Bayou, and went insane. Warren Haynes (!) came out during Smooth Rider, and played one hell of a jam. Jimi Thing was played, and them adding a 'For What It's Worth Tag' onto the end, that the crowd sang, was just amazing. Two Step was the encore - possibly one of my favorite songs of all time. I didn't think any concert could make me feel the way that Pearl Jam did. Now, it didn't come close, but it was an amazing experience. The crowd was so friendly, everyone was dancing and singing along, and the band was on fire. They still put on one hell of a show. Gov't Mule opened..it couldn't get much better.
Anyway, anyone else see them last night? Or this summer? And what do you think? I saw them in Pittsburgh last year, and outside of a few songs (#41, Lie In Our Graves, Watchtower, Warehouse), I didn't even enjoy it - it was all slow, boring songs off of Stand Up & Everyday. Now, though, they've found their place with their Stand Up songs - and only play the good ones. They played Smooth Rider, Hunger For The Great Light, and Lousiana Bayou from Stand Up, and all three of them were absolutely amazing - they finally found their place. They sounded 100x better than last year, and the crowd showed. If anyone doesn't think they put on a good show..just go see them. For those that have seen them, what did you think of this years shows?

Man your lucky to have got Gov't Mule as the opener!!!! Warren is the man, I'm a huge Mule and Warren fan. I'll be seeing him soon with the Allman Brothers at Darien Lake and I can't wait, he'll forsure get up there with Petty.
Have you heard DMB so Louisiana Bayou with Robert Randolph? It is sick!!! PM me and I can send it to you if not, and I think it's up on utube if u want to check it out.
8/28 - Hollywood Bowl will burn down and I will be there!!

Warren performed "Smooth Rider" with DMB during their set
wow that's like 4 mule songs that i've never heard before. awesome.
their new cd is out. aug 22 can't come soon enough.
The drunken frat boy comments are the funniest. I can't even listen to the opening chords of "Alive" with out picturing 2 douchebag's faces lighting up, then head butting each other while holding their beers in the air. But that isn't the problem. Stupid and downright ignorant don't have to be the same thing.
Of the all the times I've seen PJ, I can think of at least 7 or 8 jerks around me that needed to be seriously hurt. Of all the DMB shows I've been to, the only incident I can think of was 6/9/01 (D.C.) when a few thousand fans on the lower level rushed the field about 4 songs in. Fortunately I was in the upper deck.
.....but anyway, back to the main topic. Dave Matthews Band is really good. They aren't ceven close to Pearl Jam as far as their music goes, but they are a lot of fun.
we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
i remember that dmb incident. that was my first time seeing them and i thought everyone was insanely rude doing that, especially during satellite. it's not like it was a high-intensity part of the set. he even had to ask everyone to step back. i was afraid for people down there.
Can't wait to see the PSU show in December, and the two night stand at Pittsburgh next year (which I WON'T BE MISSING). And who knows, maybe I'll make Fenway next year. Someone needs to tell PJ to play Fenway...

The dirty south needs a fix.
Not sure, but I have a ton of random live songs. Halloween, Lie In Our Graves, So Right, Smooth Rider, Lousianana Bayou, Dancing Nancies, etc. And I have Red Rocks 95, Red Rocks 05, and Central Park.

Or on the DMB message board they have a thread called take a dwnload/leave a dwnload and they have tons of songs and shows in there.
this setlist is exactly the reason I stopped going to DMB shows 6 years ago. They don't play their good songs anymore.

Uh, that set list kicks ass. And that's been one of the worst set lists this year. The only songs I didn't like were When The World Ends & Sleep To Dream Her. Lousiana Bayou, Smooth Rider, and Hunger were all very good. The latter was eh, but the first two were dead on amazing. Grace Is Gone was breathtaking, Grey Street kicked ass...I mean, what else could I have wanted? Just look at the Fenway shows, they still play amazing sets.
