You won't get much love...I have used a ton of DMB songs in the MAD countdowns, the most love I got was for covers.
It's been a while, but I'd be mildly surprised if I enjoy anything from Busted Stuff more than Lillywhite.
41 seems like an appropriate number. Not liking seeing Bartender that low. Not the same without Boyd (which can be said for a lot of their stuff), but another great live song with that long drawn out violin intro. Dave really gives it his all on the vocals for it. How long are you gonna make me wait for the full list so I can find out if I'm overreacting?
Actually my 3rd favorite album but obviously still awesome. Coin flip between crash and under the table. 41, two step and lie in our graves (almost entirely bc of boyds solo) are a hard to beat top 3 live for me but under the table I think has more depth.
And it's pretty standard live now. You should give the last few albums a listen, the current make up of the band is, IMHO, the best since the 90s. So much more energy since Boyd got bounced, and adding in Buddy and Jeff makes a world of difference, you can see how much fun they are having out there now.
All three are top notch, but I have to also give the nod to Before These Crowded Streets. I love its dark vibes and how angry it is at times.
That may be true, but I just feel like their songwriting isn't what it used to be. Come Tomorrow had a few songs I like that stuck with me, but I can't even remember much about Walk Around the Moon. Their songs were a lot better when they stretched them out a bit in the studio. I get that they still jam the short songs out live sometimes, but even with DMB, I still almost always go for the studio albums, and an album by them of 3-4 minute songs just seems a bit lazy. They are a lot better than that.
Love Jeff. RIP Leroi, but I prefer his style over leroi's and I think Rashawn is a nice secondary horn. Buddy doesn't do much for me sound wise. They already went through a piano phase and I don't think it does much aside from when Butch and Carter used to have some nice jams together. I really don't like Tim in the band. He's probably one of my favorite acoustic guitarists from his earlier shows with just him and Dave but never dug his electric sound. Really didn't like that period when it was both Tim and Boyd in the band b/c Tim's solo's just cut into Boyd's. Nothing for me will beat having Boyd in the band. That violin was such a distinct sound and really was a key element in so much of their early stuff. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a violin. I just knocked out Warehouse, Seek Up and LIOG from 2002 and brought back some memories. Gonna be seeing them next week in NJ and then the following in NH. They're still killing it but just not the same. Enjoy the Gorge. 2nd favorite outdoor venue after red rocks.
I think its just a little lacking on the top end for me. Not sure any of those cracks my top 10. Maybe crush.
The 3-song run of The Stone, Crush and The Dreaming Tree was what made me a fan thanks to my brother playing them for me after I had all but dismissed them, so those three will always stand the tallest for me. It's hard to go wrong with the good ones from the other 90s albums, for sure though. Two Step, Dancing Nancies, Warehouse, Typical Situation, 41...so many good ones!
American Baby ahead of The Stone makes me want to cry, but personal opinions, right?
**hat tip** to giving the nod to the acoustic version over studio
#36?
Love that they brought back the You Look Wonderful Tonight interpolation this tour, it is so awesome.
Great venue
ABI is a great tune, so is AB. I'd welcome an actual ABI-->AB addition to the rotation. They do ABI into a ton of things these days, similar to what they are doing with PNP this tour....no longer does PNP = Rapunzel next
Curious what year you first saw the band live? And had you been a fan for awhile before seeing them?
Hate being a debbie downer, but man I miss the days when they used to tour. No way am I dropping that type of coin to be somewhere I really don't want to be just to hear them again.Dave & Tim going back to Riviera Maya MX 1/23-26

It's an awesome place and so much fun.
I don't do all inclusive resorts. Not my thing anymore. Now if they stop by the little beach town in Costa Rica where I'll be during that time, sign me up. Saw them in New Hampshire last night. Pretty meh setlist. Liked the show they had in NJ last week a lot more. We had almost an hour delay b/c of thunder storms. The entire lawn about 20 minutes before the show start had to go back to there cars.Hate being a debbie downer, but man I miss the days when they used to tour.

while it poured. Like resorts, lawn tickets are something I'll never do anymore.
Put the 2 of them together and you got something good:I don't do all inclusive resorts. Not my thing anymore.

Wouldn't that be nice. And that's not even including Granny, Pig and CrashPut the 2 of them together and you got something good:I don't do all inclusive resorts. Not my thing anymore.

So Much To Say
. I'd throw So Damn Lucky in there in place of some of the others you listed. One of my favorite Dave and Tim songs and hearing it for the 1st time last night with the whole band, they did a nice job. PNC show started and ended really nicely. WWYS, Recently, Granny, Crash, LIOG to start and Bartender, Say Goodbye, Grace, Typical Situation, Billies, YMDT to end before encore is very good.
So the 16th or 17th. I'd agree the 17th is an average set, but the 16th was bonkers. At least on the 17th they played Break For It, been a minute since they played that.I don't do all inclusive resorts. Not my thing anymore.

Ha, I went to the 16th, but looking at the 17th, I wish that I went to that one. I think we just might have different taste. Ants, Minarets, Nancies, #41, Watchtower, Rapunzel, Crush as the closer (they did close twice with that last year at the shows I attended so not thrilling but at least I've had a year to let that settle) and those are just the bangers. I would've taken that. That's pretty solid.So the 16th or 17th. I'd agree the 17th is an average set, but the 16th was bonkers.

Sugar Will liberation makes it an easy choice IMO, add in Pig, JTR, Just Breathe, Ditch, and Stolen Away...yes please.
Curious, what's your age? I'm 47 and grew up with them from about 95 to 04 so I heavily favor the stuff from that stretch.Ha, I went to the 16th, but looking at the 17th, I wish that I went to that one.

51 and have been following since Under the table dropped. I took a pause around Busted Stuff, but have revisited it and really love all of it. I know BTCS is the "best" album, but I really love Come Tomorrow, Away From the World, Big Whiskey, Stand up...lol. I love the evolution of the band and their sound.Curious, what's your age?
