***Official Berkeley 2014 Thread***

[dmb41er]

I spent all three nights in the pit and it was one of the best crowds I've spent a weekend with. So many kind people coexisting in tight quarters looking after each other and moving in and out respectfully.
Photos of this venue do not do it justice I couldn't believe how intensely intimate it was. There were long moments in the Dave solo performances where it was so silent you could hear a pin drop. The band was eating up that energy and played some solid performances. I guarantee within a year we get some form of audio or DVD release for this weekend.
These songs alone were worth every penny spent:
Big Eyed Fish, Minarets, Dreaming Tree, Seek Up, One Sweet World,
Rhyme & Reason, Recently, Typical Situation, Dancing Nancies, Pig.
Great energy in the music. Great Venue. Great crowd.
Thanks for the memories see y'all next tour.

I'd have gobbled that up 6+ years ago.



The Sunday poster was really cool in an understated way. Picture of an old VW bug in a nighttime setting under the stars. And in an absolute first I've run into, is that I walked up to the apparel booth about 10 minutes before the start of the acoustic set, and they still had plenty of posters available.

Stranger still: they weren't selling any DMB stickers, because "people would stick them all over the place.".

When I left Friday night, one merchandise booth still had a good stack of the motorcycle posters. That was at 11pm. I'm guessing we'll see Fridays poster for sale soon on the DMB site.

Had to choose between The Gorge and The Greek this summer. Went with The Greek because of the smaller capacity and the probability the band won't be back next year.

Started saving for Gorge 2015 today

Does anyone know if there is/was a woman's version?

[Kat Hawaii]

First time on this forum and I just want to echo the post below. I flew in from Hawaii to see the shows Fri and Saturday as a "bucket list" dream of mine and went with my sister and brother. We're all huge fans but I've never seen a live DMB show due to proximity. WOW! Loved both nights and can't believe how kind the fans were. In pit both nights and people let me pass to the front to throw a lei up to Dave on the stage when I asked nicely. I met some great new friends and couldn't believe the stats people gave me. The most impressive from Scott was that this was his 120th show! Thanks to the band: AWESOME sets! My favorite? Hard to say but "Sister" is one of my favorites and I was there with my sister so that was pretty special. Loved it all. Please come back to the Greek again! I will go! Thanks Berkeley and all DMB fans there! You sure know how to show a Hawaii girl a good time!

I spent all three nights in the pit and it was one of the best crowds I've spent a weekend with. So many kind people coexisting in tight quarters looking after each other and moving in and out respectfully.
Photos of this venue do not do it justice I couldn't believe how intensely intimate it was. There were long moments in the Dave solo performances where it was so silent you could hear a pin drop. The band was eating up that energy and played some solid performances. I guarantee within a year we get some form of audio or DVD release for this weekend.
These songs alone were worth every penny spent:
Big Eyed Fish, Minarets, Dreaming Tree, Seek Up, One Sweet World,
Rhyme & Reason, Recently, Typical Situation, Dancing Nancies, Pig.
Great energy in the music. Great Venue. Great crowd.
Thanks for the memories see y'all next tour.[/QUOTE]

There was not a women's version. My wife asked the guy. It was just a unisex shirt.

After the fist song or perhaps a little later he mentioned the earthquake a second time. He said he was walking around his room like Ozzy Osbourne then proceeded to show us.

It's missing some key electric performances,
but at least were getting a stellar selection of acoustic performances.

Wow, you totally called it!! This was my first show and I'm so excited I'll always get to re-live this special night on DVD. It means so much to me.

Gotta say I strongly disagree with this as a choice for a LT, but I really dig the sentiment. Grats dude.

[ajc_1988]

yeah, this is an awful choice. not buying.
