DMB Game

Hello all,

Me and a friend of mine (Josh) have developed a DMB game that we often play, and I thought I would share it here with all of you. Its a lot of fun, but it requires someone else who is also really into DMB.

This is how the game goes:

Using either this site or dreamingtree.org I will download a show to my computer.
After downloading the show I will write down the setlist and give it to Josh.
After looking over the setlist he will choose no more than three songs from that show to listen to (any 3 songs from the show, they don't need to be in consecutive order)
I will then send him the audio file of the songs he requested
Josh will listen to the requested songs, and based on the three songs he listened to, and the complete setlist that I gave him, Josh will try to guess what date that show was played on.

Scoring goes as follows:
1 point for correct year
3 points for correct year and month
10 points for correct year, month, and day

After he has made his guess Josh will then download a show and send me the setlist, and the process starts over.

Feel free to adjust the rules as you see fit, and I hope this helps to pass the time during the offseason

    This sounds fun. Definitely gonna do this with some friends of mine. Might alter it a tiny bit by never showing them the entire setlist, because the entire setlist could give it away based on what album songs there are.

    Yeah, the entire setlist is definitely one of the biggest hints, especially if it's a show from the 90s and is missing songs from literally 5 albums. That kinda narrows it down

    Any bonus points for guessing the venue?

    I never even thought about that, but that's a good idea. Like I said, feel free to adjust the rules as you see fit!
