Still, no one has gotten it.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with any of Kenny G's stuff.

Negative cool points for insinuating that I listen to Kenny G.

I thought they were done with concerts by the time this one came out.

I think that rooftop concert would be the only one they coulda played it.

I always thought Johnny Cash closed with A Boy Named Sue.

Ledbetter is a phenomenal concert closer

-It's a slower paced song, which I think is the key to concert closers...after 2 plus hours and a band closes with something just absolutely rocking it always feels like there should be another song after it

-It closes with a kick ### (but melodic and slow) guitar solo that allows McCready to just go off and improvise and the entire crowd can focus on that

-Pretty much the entire crowd knows the song and is singing along

Meh - I can listen to ballads on the way home. I want to walk out of the amphitheater with my face melting after a high energy song. I love it when Dave ends with Two Step (or Ants, or Warehouse, or Watchtower) and MMJ ending with Holiday is about as good as it gets. IMO there is nothing that can touch Big Red putting fools in the freezer with a

closer. 20k people jumping for 2-3 minutes before walking out of the arena is why we pay to see live music.

out the window imo

 

[ATC1]

I'll give it a try.

Pantera - Walk

 

[Tiger Fan]

Dave Matthews Band - Two Step

Shouldn't this be best concert opener?

In recent years, they hardly ever open with this.My link

hmm, interesting. I think 50% of the times I've seen them they've opened with it.

yeah, obviously it's a personal preference. A PJ concert to me just feels right when they close with Ledbetter

 

[Rayderr]

Jackson Browne - The Loadout/Stay

 

[HughHoney]

Another vote for Pennywise--Bro hymn.

Please listen to this song. A tribute to a dead friend with the entire crowd singing along with the band letting people up on stage almost every time they sing it.

Can't go wrong either place as they'll definitely jam it out with a sick Carter solo thrown in there.

You seem like a big DMB fan NB. I used to be, but had a horrible experience a couple years ago and have sworn them off. $150 for decent seats, and THIS is the setlist I get?

Funny The Way It Is Spaceman Don't Drink the Water Proudest Monkey Satellite Shake Me Like A Monkey Lying In The Hands Of God Seven Crash Into Me You Might Die Trying Why I Am Lie In Our Graves Squirm Alligator Pie You And Me Jimi Thing E: Baby Blue E: Grey Street E: Time BombBig Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (58%)

11 of the 19 songs were from the just released new album?!? 2 of the 3 encore songs, including the finale, were new? That's HORSE####.

I used to be a huge fan. 10-15 shows every tour. Flew out to see them at the Gorge and Red Rocks. Their stuff doesn't have the same feel to it as it used to. The last great album they did was the leaked one (lillywhite sessions). That eventually got released under a different title, but most of the songs lost that rawer passion they originally had and which all their stuff prior to that had. Their stuff now is still enjoyable, but I'm not nearly as excited about it. That is a pretty rough setlist. This one looks insane. You can't get much better then that start. I'm going to have to download that.

1. It's a great song by an all-time great band.2. It can't be placed anywhere in the set but at the end, ever. Under any circumstances. Maybe the only song about which you can say this so definitively.3. Theatrically, musically, and in terms of energy, it ends a show better than any song ever.

counting crows close with this, i cannot find a good video of it, but it works REALLY well

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Still swinging and missing.

 

[glumpy]

Hasn't Billy Joel used Piano Man for his closer?

 

[Evilgrin 72]

It even works perfectly lyrically as a concert ender. It's absolutely flawless.
