Ever since seeing them in Charlotte during a race week in 2003-4 I always go see them when they're in upstate NY. They delivered last night, heard 2-3 songs I'd never heard them play live, but really wanted to. Fan club seats, dead center, second row of lower balcony were awesome. Really hope they keep coming back.

I was second row balcony on the right side, what a great view that was. You feel the balcony shaking too? Really makes me mad I missed out on seeing DMB in a small theater venue.

I was literally dead center, perfect and that place was rocking.

I have most of Grey Street from 2-3 rows back, center pit. I can post to youtube, but the video would benefit from some HQ audio. Willndmb, would you be able to dub my video?
