    when i go to shows, im plugging my ears for all songs. even old ones. listening to DMB could really ruin a DMB album for me. i might not even listen to the album. i hope the cover art is awesome.

    As it is I download the majority of shows from each tour, so yes I absolutely will be listening to all of the new material played. How can anybody on here not listen to it? It seems like everybodys wanting a taste of the new sessions.

    As cool as it would be to rip open the finished CD and hear 90% new material, I doubt I'll be able to resist listening to the tapes

    I'll def. give the new songs a listen. It's always nice to see how a song grows and develops through a tour (i.e. 04 songs, Cornbread, Shotgun, etc).

    It's sad, though, when the good songs (Crazy Easy, Sugar Will) are cut from the album.

    Camden's the second stop of the tour, so I'm gonna stay clear of Ants until after the show where I'll be writing my annual reviews of the shows

    I'm not sure if anybody else does that, but I find it to be one my more exciting posts to write.

    Not sure what I'll do after Camden. I've got Nissan later that month, so maybe i'll just check the set lists and stay away from the tapes.

    I would like to be surprised by the new album, but I think the sole fact that tour announcements have verified that the band will be playing new songs this summer means I will hear a few new songs throughout my three shows. I just hope they don't play a majority of new songs like it seems they did in '05.

    how is hearing the song at the concert or listening to a taper pull later not being surprised by a song?

    I'm going to try to avoid looking at the setlists before Busch, it's an early show so it shouldn't be too hard

    I'm gonna look at set lists, but I will not listen to any songs from the tour... I think I will keep looking at the forums and if there is a chow with some good new songs I will download them, but I am determined not to listen to them until after the release of the album. I can't get to any shows anyway this year so I won't be hearing any new songs live at a venue.

    Of course I'll listen to the tapes.

    I want to be able to sing along to the new songs when DMB comes to Deer Creek and Riverbend.

    The excitement is in the tour--I vote listening to all the material. I won't, however, listen to the album before I get it in the mail. That, I can wait for.

    DMB is a band that does a lot of road testing. Why would you avoid what this band does? No one is going to be able to hear all new songs the first time. Stuff like Shotgun and Cornbread will be on the album. I'm also sure all the songs they try out this summer won't be on the new album.

    But all in all DMB is a band that shines its best live. With Tim on tour this is going to a special time. Tim + New songs and seeing how they evolve. That's not something you can get back. This tour is something we can experiance as a community. But after that first listen, will it really matter if you've heard it before? Not listening to something before it's on a CD, doesn't make a song any better. Just means it's new. I'd rather hear a new DMB song live first, where most DMB songs start.
