    Yeah, I know I'm being a little hyper critical. I saw two shows last year and they were both 'meh'. By contrast, I saw both the C'ville shows on the Winter Tour and they were spectacular. But see, I get why PJ has to play some 'hits', as they have to build a set for us and the casual fan.

    By contrast, if Dave came out and played Ants, Rapunzel or Everyday to appeal to the broad audience, I'd be okay with that because I love when they play those songs. Certainly I'd rather hear Recently, One Sweet World, etc. Instead, he'll play Space Between, Stolen Away, Squirm, Shake me like a monkey, etc. These are not broad appeal songs. Look at the encore from SPAC the other night. Sucked.

    I hear you on the PHL 1/2. I was there too and was surprised that Unthought was played both nights. But I think that was Stone's call honestly. I put together the multi-cams of both shows and I can tell you that Stone had shit eating grins both nights. I really think he likes playing that tune. But I don't understand why people are down on Phl 2. I really liked that show. Hail Hail, Satans Bed, Untitled/MFC, Come Back, Leaving Here, BLOOOD! .. I really, really enjoyed that show.

    It's not that I didn't enjoy it. You mention the songs that made the show. It's a shame they were back to back shows. They have plenty of standard hits that didn't have to be repeated N2
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Fantastic show last night! We all had such a blast. The acoustic set alone was worth the price of admission. Had read that Dave and Tim alone were starting most shows but we got the full band right away. Didn't know every song but loved every second they were onstage. The crowd was so much better this year than last, I think in part to us having seats and not being stuck up on the lawn. We started looking into Hartford tickets for July from the parking lot. :-)

    That's a pretty nice set list. Seek Up, Long Black Veil, Stay (which they don't play very much at all) and a strong encore. Was it 3 1/2 hours?

    Very cool! Some songs I'm a fan of them on, some not so much. But having only started going to shows in 2009, it would definitely be cool to catch a show where they're featured. Boyd tweeted "They will be with us for a few shows. The dates, I’m not sure of, but they’ll be with us 4 awhile.” so hoping I see them on Tuesday at PNC or in a couple weeks in Michigan!

    CANNOT WAIT for PNC on Tuesday. This tour seems like a really special one.

    The Lovely Ladies were awesome. They sounded great and the crowd energy, which was already good, spiked when they appeared.

    Not exactly sure how long they played but my gut says probably less than 3 1/2 hours. Mansfield is a tough venue for curfew and I don't think they broke it.

    The Lovely Ladies onstage in Mansfield. Not the greatest pic but I was trying to get everybody in the shot.

    Yesterday was fantastic, one of the best DMB shows I've seen in a while. Crowd was on fire, singing at the top of their lungs. This tour is such a treat. Acoustic set was fun, highlights were Oh and Minarets. Even though I'm not a fan of Stolen Away or Pay For What You Get, was cool to hear as I've never heard them before. Regular set was pure fire. Pig>Granny>Grey St to open had the crowd wild. Say Goodbye>DIDO was another huge highlight. I loves me some DIDO :) Lovely Ladies were great, especially on Stay (I don't get the hate for this song at all!). Was hoping for JTR, but guess not this time. Aaaaand no Watchtower to close, so that capped off a terrific night for me! Next stop: Clarkston, MI in 2 weeks!

    I am gathering from your posts that you have bought in to the DMB experience.

    I'm glad. The band is awesome and you can count on seeing them every year.

    We go to the Gorge every labour 'Dave' weekend. It's a great way to signal the beginning of fall and a nice way to cap summer off!

    Got my DMB Remember Two Things Vinyl remaster in the mail today. Looks good! It appears there were about 10k issued, so not super limited.

    Always been a casual fan but last Saturday night in Mansfield was the show when they finally hooked me for good. The acoustic openers they are doing this time around are an awesome way to start a show. I've always kinda figured I would be a big DMB fan if I had stopped and paid closer attention to them over the years. Well, they have my attention now.

    My first post in the Warehouse Lounge resulted in a superfan calling me a Masshole. Little did they know I take that as a compliment. :-)

    Completely different vibe on the Warehouse boards.

    Not as fun for me.

    Following the set list threads on Facebook the last few weeks has been great fun. I love how varied theirs are. When I saw them last year they closed out the encore with Two Step. This year that song was what they opened with.
