    Yeah I just meant that he’s always super goofy.  It’s just kinda weird to me that the music is so well crafted and beautiful and at some moments it brings me right back to the mid-late nineties as a young kid seeing them in all the craziness of adolescence.... and then he follows it up with some ridiculousness and weirdness....  I guess it’s a reality check between daydreams or something 

    He's absolutely a weird cat on stage.  I usually have no idea what he's saying.

    He’s entertaining himself and the band on stage. His quips are ‘inside jokes’ more often than not.

    Watch the expressions of the band when he says his stuff. They’re all laughing. 

    He’s kooky. But he’s awesome. He’s a humble superstar of rock in my opinion.

    Completely agree,  but I still don't understand it.  Especially when he speaks in "scat".

    A lot of times I have to ask the wife what he said. Many times she didn't understand either. I don't know if scat is meant to be understood lol.

    Outside of the classics... "Thank you very much" and the "Are y'all havin' a good time"... he blurts some pretty funny things. He says random 'dumb' things like, "This song is about a smoothie" (which it isn't, but draws a laugh from the band for some inside reason).

    I've never seen him ramble.

    I recently was in the Sixers lockerroom for something in the Wells Fargo center. The attendant also works the locker room for concerts and commented on my PJ shirt saying Ed is a nice guy. Unprompted, he then said Dave is the nicest star he has ever met, also mentioned that he isn’t even a fan of his music. 

    Cool that a totally unbiased opinion felt he was as nice they get. Nice to hear that stuff.

    Cool! I believe him 100%.  Interviews, stories, etc. all align with that story, he seems like a nice guy who enjoys his life.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I can deal with Dave's weirdness for a few seconds a lot easier then one of Ed's 5 minutes of rambling in between songs.

    Since we were talking about the C'ville show recently (and the free download), here's the highlight from that gig.  An amazing performance with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.  It was definitely the best moment of a very good show.  Nice of them to release the official footage.  This is why I love DMB.. you don't a pair of axes to jam out.

    Thank you!

    That was so much fun to watch. Carter was smiling the entire time and that trombone player is my favorite. Great version of that song!

    And it's free in FLAC format too.  That is great!  Wish that were the case with C'ville too.

    **My download failed immediately and now it can't be restarted.  It is telling me my limit has been exceeded.  Does anyone have the FLAC version they are willing to share?  I really would prefer not to deal with customer service.  Lots of people having this issue so it's going to take some time to resolve.  Thanks in advance.

    They just resolved my download issue late yesterday. Four days sounds about right, LOL. @mrussel1  PM me if you're still having issues (since that generates an email) and I can help you out later.

    Thanks.  I emailed them over the weekend. If I don't have resolution tomorrow, I'll send you a PM.  Much appreciated.

    They took care of it.  Thanks again.

    Anyone receive Rhino's Choice on vinyl yet?  I got my rose color one yesterday.  It sounds excellent.  Only got a chance to hear side one, but a really cool version of Raven, awesome intro.

    Mine was backordered. I just found it today at a Target tho. So, I cancelled my backordered one. Then, I spin it, and 75% of Here On Out has a click on the vinyl. I cleaned and still same result. 

    I immediately reordered another one online to see if I’ll get it, then I’ll return the faulty one. Unfortunately I got the last one in the store or I’d take it back. Pretty bummed.

    I have the same click.  I planned on cleaning it today in the Okki but now you're hearing the same so I doubt I will see a difference.  Did you get the rose or the black?
