    Fuck yeah. Not even talking about Dave's vocals either. Boyd like you said and the whole band with Carter taking over is so good.

    I haven't seen it live, but i dont see why Blue Water is held to such high regards. I think it's a pretty basic song.

    Stay is the only song on the Big 3 that I genuinely do not like. Every other song but that one from the Big 3 is good to great imo.

    From what I understand, there's a finished studio cut sitting around, probably in a vault somewhere. Herbie Hancock/DMB needs to release it to us.

    I don't like Stay, but it wouldn't be as bad on a different album. Just doesn't fit on BTCS.

    Stay is great. It doesn't fit well on BTCS, but other than that, it's a great song. Roi did some really cool stuff in that song

    It's the perfect set closer music wise, but I just can't get into the chorus.

    I'm not sure this is an unpopular opinion... lots of people don't like it / would prefer it not to have been on BTCS.

    I am gonna share my (&what I perceive to be an) unpopular opinion - I really like it and think it actually works on BTCS. I prefer listening to Stay studio than a few other tracks on the album D:

    Me too, namely DDTW and Crush. Both of which are great studio versions - especially Crush, but I've just heard them both so much.

    That being said, I've always thought Stay has always seemed out of place on BTCS. Pretty dark album and Stay is just a happy, up beat tune.

    BTCS is near perfection, that includes Stay with LL and what not on BTCS.

    Crush is an upbeat love song, Pig is upbeat as well. I love how there is a wide spectrum of emotions on BYCS.

    Yeah, that's a good point. Pig is so amazing. Crush is upbeat too, just longer.

    I 100% agree that BTCS is perfection. It's my favorite album easily. Could and have listened to the whole thing beginning to end (no skips) A LOT. But I think it's the general consensus here, lol.

    I'm listening to Wrigley Field. I like You Might Die Trying. I like the scatting and the frenzy at the end.

    Stay is a nice pallet cleanser between DDTW and Halloween. I wouldn't be surprised if there was talk of "You HAVE to put Stay on this album. Otherwise it's too dark."

    Really? I like Stay, but I have a hard time with the Chicago version. The outro is so long and repetitive it's unbearable. Other versions with Dave's improv scatting outros are much better IMO

    Totally. I think Dave's pitch is perfect. Between him, Carter and Roi, I love the outro.

    Here's one... I miss the two sets very very badly. My wife and I usually stand in the PIT for our DMB shows so after getting there around 6 it was awesome to have music at 7:15 versus 8:20. Plus the set break made it perfect for taking a piss and grabbing another beer. Everyone dogged on the setlist variety in the acoustic sets but they played some absolutely amazing versions of Two Step, typical, the stone etc etc. Plus the acoustic set gave a very intimate vibe while in the PIT.

    I really liked the acoustic sets. Got to see D&T Dancing Nancies at Riverbend, acoustic Cry Freedom at Alpine, Dave solo Spoon at Deer Creek... enjoyed the variety.

    It didn't work so well for some of the "bigger" songs but it was cool seeing some songs stripped down. Agree with the piss/beer break, too.
