bobinaz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Going to the DMB concert in Phoenix at the end of August...has anyone been to a show yet of this latest tour? I see he is scheduled for Buffalo...anyone heard how good the tour is so far? This is my first one for him finally and really looking forward to it. I bought the live concert from his 2002 tour at the Gorge and have been watching the DVD part of it to death. I'm really psyched about this. Any words from the wallers?

udonkey Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 If they're playing mostly new stuff, I wouldn't be excited. I bought the new DMB and think that it is pure crap. Now, if the majority of the songs they play are from the past 3-4 albums, then it would be a solid show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I caught their show in P'burgh back in the beginning of June. It was the first time I'd seen them and I was really impressed. They played two nights at the ampitheatre; the first night was very laid back from what I heard and the second night was far more raucous. Here's a setlist from the night#2 show that I saw. One Sweet World Pantala Naga Pampa ...> Rapunzel Dream Girl Grey Street Smooth Rider Too Much Louisiana Bayou * Lover Lay Down Hello Again Jimi Thing You Might Die Trying So Much To Say Stand Up Two Step Encore: Old Dirt Hill Ants Marching I haven't been as fond of some of the stuff they've done recently and was afraid the show was going to be kind of morose like much of their recent studio work has been. On the contrary, the band was really smokin' and played hard with a lot of passion. A very good show and I'd go see them again if the opportunity comes up.

jayg Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I used to see them for $5 in Richmond before they were popular. Wasn't a big fan but there were always nice looking girls at the show. Thanks DMB! I knew they were very talented and would make it some day. I have seen DMB twice, but not since they released Don't Drink the Water.

Thanks 380533[/snapback] DMB is a love/hate band. If you like their kind of music then you'll probably like the show. I saw them in early June and didn't like the show as much as I did 3 years ago. The main saving grace was Robert Randolph sitting in for a 4 song set. If you see a show with John Butler Trio opening for them, don't miss the opening act.

JinVA Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Last time I saw DMB was about five years ago. It started pouring down rain and it turned out to be the worlds largest and youngest wet t-shirt contest, which by far outweighed the show itself. Good times.

col_forbin Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 No. Va Beach. Worst venue ever. Hot babes though. 380853[/snapback] Went to a Phish show in '99 at Va. Beach, and we were a little behind so we rushed to get into the venue without really looking where we parked. It took us an hour to find my car (outback) after the show. I can't tell you how many outbacks where at that show, but it seemed like 10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I can't tell you how many outbacks where at that show, 380863[/snapback] Exactly why I have dubbed it worse venue. You're not even allowed to cook a burger in the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I will preface this by saying that I don't like DMB's music at all. That being said, I went to the VA beach show last month with my sister. I will concur that this is one of the absolute worst venues out there. Impossible to get to, and to get out of. My sister said that most of the show was new material. Five songs in a row, as a matter of fact. I only recognized two or three, but I'm not a fan. Definitely lots of teenie-boppers there. It was definitely a different, more laid back crowd than you would find at an Ozzfest show. The band was alright. I think they need a new bass guitar player, but the drummer and the sax player were awesome. Didn't care too much for the crack-head looking dude playing the fiddle. Seemed like there was too much of that. To me, each song was like this: 1. Dave starts by playing some little riff really softly. 2. Band kicks in, plays even tempo for a while. 3. Band plays harder, louder, Dave screams louder, reaching a crescendo. 4. Repeat. Wasn't the best concert I ever saw, but it was certainly not the worst...

FluffHead Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I've seen them upwards of 15 times....twice so far this summer. Totally agree with the poster who said they are a love/hate band. If you love their music, the show will be a blast because they always play with a ton of passion and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
