Arn't they all great shows? This one just adds to the list... I sat in seats for the first time at a summer show after being to about 5 or 6 of them. GREAT TIME! You can get so much more into the music when your sitting in seats. Even in the 400 section. The fact that I could actually see the band rather than the video screens helped a lot. Also, I loved looking back at the lawn to see all the enourmous amount of people that are at the show. good stuff. On another note... DLPAC security NEEDS to chill out. Besides the DABOCKLE getting in, During ants, and billies they were STILL bitching about people standing in the isle. Beyond that, the parking lot scene was one of the best ive been to... its such a good setup for tailgating.

Great show. My first show and boy was it a great one. After Don't Drink the Water and Pig, the rest was gravy. Of the new songs, I like Sugar Will the most.

My 4th dave show, and great ass times!! Pre-Game with best friends was great....Takin the little bro to his first dave concert was awesome...a little too much security at this one..not enough smoke in the concert for us..too bad...still cant remember actually going into the show...but can remember the rest clearly...awesome set...short encore...but dancin to billies and singin with the buds was GREAT...awesome show..cant wait till the next one

Great show. First time seeing them at Darien Lake. I agree with some of the other users about the crowd. There was alot of idiots there. Especially the guy in front of me in Sec 400, Row 14, who obviously didn't have a ticket for that row. This guy couldn't dance to save his life. I'm pretty sure his girlfriend was embarrased to be with him.

ddtw, as a opener was fun and filled with energy........
recently, sounded old school and jammed pretty nice.........
too much, had a pretty long scat outro too it, it was very very cool, and it got the crowd goin.........
crush, was awesome and it jammed out pretty nice, stefan was on for this.....
the new songs were filled with more nrg then they were aweek ago at spac, so that was great....
billies as a one song encore was good, but not the best....
ants, was great as always.....
warehouse was poppin and was the best song of the night.......
been to better, been to worse, GREAT TIME!!!!!

A wierd night to say the least. Very muggy out, lots of drinking and whatnot out front, which was fun. Saw a girl have a seizure in the parking lot, very scary. Hope that she is okay. Show had a VERY wierd flow. Up and down with the music. Good to see Recently and Pig. VERY disappointed in the encore. Stefan was ready to play another song, and Dave said let's get out of here. Had four After Show passes for friends that had never met the band, and the whole band left, leaving us standing there. That sucked, but I realize that they had a long drive. Been to better, been to worse.

i cannot belive the night... so great. Dave played his heart out and was spent by the nights end, he said it himself. I got to know afew canadians -you guys rock. And a dude from syracuse that proved music accepts all ages. WIthout a doubt the best night of my life.. from DDTW and Pig, through crush (lessard's "birdland" intro!!!"), warehouse, too much, ANTS!, and billies.. a night to never forget

2nd show of the tour for me (3rd overall). had 10th row tickets to SPAC, a great venue... going into DLPAC with sec300s, not an easy transition. energy was not as high as spac. thought DDTW would be the best possible opener, but crowd didnt seem into it. Sugar will not a bad song, cut the extended jam to it though, got to hear ants, billies, too much, wwys, warehouse, space between. quality.

All in all, a pretty good show despite it being hot and humid. I was in a pretty good section of fans and we helped induct few "dave virgins". Awesome version of joyride - better than at the toronto show- nice tease of cry freedom at the end, ants was just nuts (at least my section was going crazy)and tripping billies was cool. I think this was my first show that LeRoi wasn't wearing sunglasses for!!! The only complaints i have was that Sugar Will lasts entirely too long, there was only one encore song and the sound at darien is, as always, crap.

Review:
The Good: STJL, Recently, Warehouse, Joyride (actually growing on me), Ants, Billies, R&R, WWYS.
The Bad: Space Between (considering I've only heard one electric song this tour, I can't really complain too much). Sugar Will...just not feeling that song. The venue...Darien Lake has always sucked. This year it didn't seem anywhere near as bad as last year, but it needs more bathrooms and wider walkways. The parking is horrific.
I'm actually surprised at how many people said this show was much better than last year. While I'll agree that this was a pretty solid show, last year with The Last Stop, Dreaming Tree, Billies, Cry Freedom, The Stone...that's pretty tough to top.
All in all, good show...

A very fun night. The parking lot was awesome, lots of drinking, but getting into the show was a bitch. Security shut down one of the gates and no one could get in. Once the show started, it was awesome. DDTW opener, right into pig was SWEET. OSW was excellent. STJL and crush were very fun. GREAT drum solo on Hello Again. I loved the old school recently. WAREHOUSE & WWYS were awesome. Ants was a great closer. Billies was nice, i was expecting one more, but dave seemed eager to leave. Overall, great time, great setlist. Hopefully next years will be as good.

Review:
show was some good times, went with a few dave virgins, and they recognized a few songs but looked like they had no idea what was going on. So just being me I acted like dave when he goes crazy dancing and that got them going and into the show later on. Too Much was by far the best version I've ever heard, During Crazy easy, there were fireworks and a laser show, which was solid. Recently was solid, and Ants and Billies to close, it was just some good times. Awesome set mixing stuff up. Next year def. be there.... Buffalo has the best tailgating scene ever.

Review:
Great show with lots of old a new songs mixed together for a lot of energy. Security was way too tight. It'd be easier to get into a communist Russia without a visa and carrying a suitcase full of Bibles than it was to get through the gates. I have the same complaints about the venue, there is nothing good about it; we need to build an amph. I tip my hat to the light techs though, great job. Unlike others, I have no complaints about the one-song encore only because Billies rocked the roof down and becuase it was so humid and hot. If I was under those lights for a few hours jamming out with so much energy I woulda been beat too.

Killed last years show, good good time was amazing, it was my first time hearin it, hello again, crazy easy and joy ride have all evolved from their debut, they have become amazing songs, if i sugar will again, i think i will kill myself, that song is just so bad, but, billies was insane, pig!!!!!! and then gay darien lake not allowing dave to play after 11 which is such a stupid rule,but they jammed the hell out of billies

It was a long hot day, but it was all worth it...Superman at Darien Lake is the bomb! My only complaint is the fact that in the parking lot there were 2 outhouses for 10,000 people, ridiculous...we waited almost 2 hours in line for the damn bathroom, but I would do it all over again for the show that night. I had a couple first timers with me and they had such a blast, I felt like it was MY first show :)

The show was very good. I really liked the new songs hello hello was really catchy and will be a huge hit i predict. The other new one had a great rhythm. Crush was amazing as well as Tripping Billies what a dissapointment that there was only 1 encore song. I have been spoiled with 2 songs for so long.

I have to say the best thing about Darien Lake is the campground. It allows you to enter the concert through the amusement park and that makes a huge difference. I saw what was going on at the main gate and it was not cool! It really felt like a riot was about to take place. The camping at the park makes for a great show. I had great seats in the 10th row. All in all I really thought the show was solid. Hello Again and Joy Ride continue the trend of amazing live songs that DMB writes. I do wish the concert was a bit longer but what they played was great.

I can't believe you all thisnk this show was good...I was at Heshey three days earlier. That show was ten times better. The crowd was better, Dave had more energy. I was disappointed in this show, mainly because of the idiots that sat aound me. Dave did a good job on such a humid night, but it could have been better.

Typical Darien Lake Scene - Incredibly overcrowded and rowdy. A near riot trying to get in, they had to lock the gates for a while, thankfully I slipped through. Brought my parents and sister to their first DMB show. Though the pre-show festivities were quite uneasy, their spirits were lifted by an amazing show.
I honestly have to say the band was more into this show than any of the more recent Buffalo area shows. They really got into their jams and did some extended mixes. ALL 5 new '04 songs were played, and Too Much was the best I've seen. Ending with Ants and Billies is priceless.

It was an all right set list, but it could have been better. I still had an amazing night, but a two step thrown in there would have made the night. Finally hearing ants marching on my fifth show was nice tho. Wish they would have played another encore song to ease the three hour traffic jam in the parking lot, but oh well, theres always next time. Not the best i've been to, but a good night with dave and my friends.

this was a great show. they played the 5 new songs that i wanted to hear. but on top of that they played songs that i have wanted to hear for a long time such as pig and the song that jane likes. all and all this was a fun show to be at and listen too. the only negitive is that there was only one encore but the encore was a great tripping billies.

User: joshuatrees18
Review:
I was a little dissapointed in their set list since I was a fairly new DMB fan and had only purchased there 3 most recent releases to that point. Busted Stuff, Everyday and Before These Crowded Streets and they played litte to none of these albumns, so I was very unfamilier with the songs played. I have since picked up Crash and Under the Table and Dreaming and realize these may be their best albums of the bunch.
I still think Dave Matthews may have had an off night, but that's okay.

Review:
I decided to attend this show last minute. I didnt have tickets until I arrived, and I was depending on a guy I met on nancies to pull through for me in the clutch. And so he did. While other crazy fools were selling lawn seats for 90 bucks each, I got great tickets for only 30 bucks a piece. It was very HOT and the lack of shade in the parking lot made for some sweaty tailgaters. After a few...or ten...beers the fact that my forehead glistened in the sun really didnt bother me at all, and we actually jimmied up a tarp which hung off the back of our Wrangler to be able to escape the sun. We wound up hanging out with the cool dudes that hooked us up with the tickets, so we had a massive tailgating team. And thanks to the random boys who hooked me up with lighter fluid. And can I also say that I just love my dear friend Stacee who also ganked tickets at the last minute and was able to enjoy the fruits of tailgating and seeing dave with me after I haven't seen her in so long!!! And sorry to all the kids whom I hoaxed into thinking I was a photographer for the dmband website...I can just imagine all their super thrilled faces when they signed onto the internet the next morning expecting to see their drunken mugs on dave matthews website. It is funny the games you will play in the parking lot after you have been drinking all afternoon.
The show was good. Probably one of the more "ok" ones I have seen this summer. I think that ambiance and your surroundings has a lot to do with how much you enjoy a concert, and darien center is certainly a weird venue. Unfortunately we had lawn seats, which always means a struggle to see, but here the lawn is so uneven and weird shaped that we didnt even bother to struggle to get up close. We just chilled in the back and enjoyed our buzz, our beers and the music. We knew another show was right around the corner on our agenda.

Great concert. DDTW was a great opener. Pig was a surprise to me, didn't see it coming. Really like how the new songs are coming along. Warehouse was intense, and Ants was a really big surprise as a closer, as it was also in the last two concerts. Too Much was just plain sick. Liked the new song tease. Billies was a great encore, sad to see only one song but according to the original set, it was going to be just Stay and I'd take a one song encore of Billies over Stay any day. Had a great time, as did my friend who was a Dave virgin. Oh yeah, and only fifteen minute wait for Superman was nuts.

Completely different setlist from last years show in Darien Lake, with the exception of Billies (i love that song). The bad: Waaay too many radio hits, and where were the busted stuff? I hope the band isn't over their head though, dave played a little mellow. It was good times.

Amazing energy at this one. Everyone wanted to bang their chairs toward the end (towards Joy Ride and through the encore). I was 20th row once again. The set wasn't as good as SPAC's but any DMB is good.

Good Show, the encore was a good song, yet weak for only having one song

I've said it before...awesome setlists at Darien, but awful crowd more than often...DL should seriously not sell alcohol concessions inside the venue - itlets drunk idiots *stay drunk*. Anyway...
DDTW as an opener seems kind of old, but it was still great. Pig, OSW, and Crush were also excellent, though the latter was much longer than I would have liked. The new tunes were great - Hello Again and Joyride are definitely gonna be great as studio tracks, but I seriously hope they cut Sugar Will down - IT WAS SO LONG! And I couldn't understand half the lyrics to Thing, but I blame DL's terrible sound system.
Surprises: TSJL! The first time I've ever heard that live - 'twas great. Lots from BTCS, but no Busted Stuff songs? What the hell? Not a Grey Street, Bartender, or even a WAYG? Very unusual. Ants as a closer? Wow. The crowd and the band were both going crazy. And a one song encore? I know, it was a long, powerful show, and a Billies closer was awesome still, but it just surprised me - a lot.
All in all, an awesome show with a not-so-awesome crowd. Here's hoping he heads back to the Ralph or HSBC next year. Or maybe I'll just do SPAC instead of DL.
