    Well of course any given tour will have some sub-par shows, but in general...

    I voted 94 - 97, although I didn't start seeing shows until 2000. If there was a 98 to 00, I would of voted that. 2001 was definitely start of a new era with Everyday.

    It has, but the threads I found using the search tool on Ants and on Google were locked in choices, not multiple choice - so if your favorite years were longer than 01-02 or 00-03 you couldn't really select them, that's why I made this one instead of bumping a past one. I try not to make one unless I feel that it's different in options from ones done in the past (polls).

    With regard to the Chad bashing, I think it's bullshit, childish bullying. It's sad that we tolerate and often support this kind of shit around here every day.

    The dude's just digging the band right now and likes to try to spark fun, sometimes thought-provoking conversations. What a fag, right? It's much cooler to circlejerk with other DMB fans on their computers about what bikini Kate Upton wore this week, and wax poetic about how you would SO get at that ass, bro.

    I'd imagine the good old "Ship" has a big shit to drop on me for this, but Christ almighty this place is like an elementary school.

    I always think about that when considering posting a topic, but keeping in mind it's really nice to revisit topics like this often because different events and experiences change our collective opinions on things.

    For example, I recently started a discussion about pianists in DMB and whether or not anyone missed the sound. It's been talked to death in the past, especially the "Would you want Butch back?" part, but it was nice to hear people's thoughts in the 2014-15 off season after we've had time to process another year with the rock heavy Tim stuff.

    I grouped it mainly because of the Ladies in those years.

    I did my best to split the years by sound/guests/members. Obviously by the amount of people unhappy I didn't do a very good job

    My classic DMB sound will always be 2002 - 2004. That's when I found the band, saw my first shows, and started my obsession. I also love Big Whiskey, much of the 2010 tour is really great to me (even though I didn't see any shows). Also enjoy the Caravan sets I've heard. 2012 is sort of meh.

    98-04 is probably the best years of this band. I think the only bad year is 2001 but that doesn't even look bad compared to 2014. 1998 through 2001 was when the band was most popular. So many epic stadium shows in that era.

    Surprised nobody caught this but Butch wasn't present in 2008, before or after Roi passed. To my knowledge Butch, Tim, and Rashawn never played a full show together, and Butch, Tim, Rashawn, and Jeff certainly haven't.

    Consulted the 'nac. Butch played 4.1.08. Tim wasn't on board yet. That's it for that year.

    I voted for the decade from 1998 onwards... I really enjoy the music, even through the Stand Up era. I was not party to the overdoing of it, this is just from what's available streaming online, YouTube and whatnot, so yeah 1998-2008 for me.

    With regards to the bashing of various people, please all shut up, if the mods think the thread is overdoing it they will shut it down. It seems more than half the comments are about why the thread exists rather than the actual content of the threads. If you have a problem, report it to the mods.

    Yeah I did my best with the Almanac and listing years people played. I wasn't implying they all played together. No worries.

    Butch did play that legendary Outback Steakhouse corporate show in 2008. We need that one as our next LT, dammit!
