one word: SUCKED.
that's right. i though it was horrible. And being in 13th row just made it so much worse.
Yeah, of corse I'm joking. That concert took my breath away and brought a few tears to my eyes. It was amazing. I must admit, I was scared when they played Halloween... so intense just the three of them... dave's expressions....
but AMAZING overall. I can't wait for the people who weren't there to experience it on dvd.

Perfect end to a wonderful summer. We met an awesome couple who snuck us down to reserved. Ended up in Row 15. Dreaming Tree...Halloween, what more can one say? Looking forward to whatever they do with all the video footage from the weekend.

Well being that I only got to choose 1 of the Gorge shows to go to, boy was I glad to get two of my favs- LIOG was so good and Billies as the encore was amazing! This was my first and only time to the Gorge thus far...but I definitely hope to catch the whole weekend there sometime soon. Great show and I was blown away by the venue! Almost makes me want to move to WA! I had such a wonderful time.

uh...HALLOWEEN? Fonz's intro to Watchtower was unfuckingbelieveable. Watchtower was one of the best versions EVER. And of course, Dreaming Tree...which wasn't on the setlist so it's cool that they finally busted it out.

Hard to follow the Sat. show but they did very successfully. A jam night with lots of oldies. Exactly what we were all hoping for. A awsome long version of seek up. The best was the end of the show. Ending with watchtower(the best version I have seen live,) coming out and doing the first oncore was just Dave and LeRoi playing Long Black Veil. Then, the highlight of the ENTIRE weekend. Dave, Fonz, and Carter playing old school HALLOWEEN!!!!!! Dave went all out with the vocals and scared some people i think. It was amazing. Then the crowed chanted for The Last Stop and after a few teases from the band they gave us Tripping Billies. A great way to end a perfect weekend.

WOW, thats not much more to say. What an encore! the whole show was epic. If I had it All is a nice sunday evening song. Dreaming Tree was also a pleasant surprise. But all there is to say is.. HALLOWEEN!

First time at the Gorge and we had lawn seats. The drive was pretty brutal but as always well worth the 10 hours on the road. Well I am writing this a little over a year later, but I'll do my best to recall. The craziest thing was that the concert was being filmed. Not sure on the release heard it might be this fall (03). The back drop of the gorge just takes you from the modern civilization to time of the Native Americans and as always dave and the band are a great soundtrack to be in that daydream. It was the one time I wanted to hear Don't Drink the Water (Dave and Tim). But the show was great Seek Up, STJL and Dreaming Tree (short stumbling version) all make for a awesome experience in themselves. But this is set list as a whole was probably the best, flow and desire, love, sorrow, dancing and exuberance were all the feeling that just slammed into my soul song after song.

Show #8...
Simply THE best live band I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing (TOOL is a very close 2nd).
Marks my return to the reserved seating!! WooHoo!! Forgot how much more intense the experience can be when you can actually see the fellas up close and personal!!! Had the pleasure of bringing Chrystal to her very first DMB show. She loved 'em!!! Never had any doubt that she wouldn't. I recommend to all my friends who even remotely say they like DMB to catch them live. It's just a completely different band when you get to see 'em live. Studio recordings are all great, but you can't beat the live experience. Rog and Heidi have been my parnters in crime to all of my DMB concerts, except the first in '96. After I got them hooked to "Under the Table and Dreaming," they've been die-hard fans ever since. They got engaged this year (12/13/02). CONGRATS guys!! Thanks for the memories, I'm sure there'll be plenty more!!!

Great show. This was my first time at the Gorge and what a great first concert to see there! Dave is amazing every time, but I think the Gorge brings out the best in him. Loved hearing Lover Lay Down-- my all time favorite! Nothing but good things to say about this show!

Truly one of the most amazing shows ever...
This setlist is not entirely correct though:
-Dreaming Tree was FAR from a tease. It contained 1 verse and 1 chorus and was aborted/truncated due to dave fumbling.
-Long Black Veil was Dave and Roi.
-Halloween was Dave, Carter, and Fonz.
Amazing Seek Up ending. Beautiful Roi soloing. Classic Davespeak. Spectacular ending.
Never forget it.

My first DMB experience. I've been to a lot of other shows at the Gorge, but I've never experienced a vibe like that night. Everyone was into the show and actually polite to each other. I will be at the 8-08-2003 show and can hardly wait.

User: mikey_prato
Review:
I notice that almost everyone seems to be referring to Haloween as the highlight of the evening. My highlight was hearing what was quite possibly the most hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Long Black Veil" I will ever hear. Also, "Watchtower" was unbelievable and my fiance and I were able to get starry eyed over "Lover Lay Down." All in all, a phenominal show. The only letdown was the fact that we are not marijuana smokers, and the thick haze of weed smoke on the lawn was unbearable. But all is forgiven.

Well, we flew up from lake tahoe california on Thursday, took that beautiful cascade loop, too early for eagles, but hey we were dave bound. had tix 18th row for saturdays show, which was great though too many good old crowd pleaser songs for me, so we didn't have tix for sunday but got some, and parked on the ledge. now THIS was the show we came north for. wonderful, they were on! I felt a little meloncoly as they played the last song of the night for the on core knowing it was the end until next years tour. I'm at all the shows along the northern california region, but now I'll add trips to the gorge, it's as special as I had always heard. Dave is truely on loan to us here on earth by the musical gods up above!

My first show ever and what a way to start. I've since been to eight shows and this one is still the best I've ever seen. Granny, Halloween, and many others. I doubt I'll see a DMB show ever close to this one.
