brought my homie from canada to the show and he lost his dave virginity! congrats!! best show of the weekend! start off with props to Jason Mraz for a great opening show. now DMB.. of all my shows this was the best demostration of every band members' skill, including butch. i could rave about every song played in detail but the highlights were def BOWA cause it just rocks, SMTS was good but def weird without ASTB, SEEK UP, i am loving JOY RIDE (4 times now), always good to hear STLJ, CRASH, LIOG *best song of the weekend*, bangin version of TOO MUCHH (download it), and a solid encore... lastly, my buddy was the dude who tossed that green glowing frisbee just before the show started.. OH YEAH!!!

Hey,
Well this was my first DMB concert ever and i had some what of an idea of what to expect. All I knew was run to get a good seat. Once Jason got done i was freaking out. just to hear the stone live was awsome for me then BOWA. LIOG rocked, Too Much was almost too much. DDTW is probably one of the most incredible songs live. i thought the recording from CP was awsome it just doesn't compare to live. Highlight of the night of the night for me was talking to my girlfriend on the phone and then hearing the first 4 chords of crash. even better was she showed up the next night. great show i'm never going to forget it.

BOWA... was GREAT! i was so pumped to get it this weekend, although i wish it woulda been on sunday night, cause i was back in (B4) 4th row center, but anyways it was still great! tonight i sat lawn with all the DMB FREAKS! had a good good time, it was really chilly though! mraz rocked a GREAT set as well. i got a dmb setlist tonight as well, cause someone in the lawn gave me there 20th row ticket stub to go down for the encore. the views from this lawn are amazing! you have to see my pics!
we spent the day in the park playing kickball, volleyball, swimming, and drinking beer. was a lot of fun to hang out with 30 something people that all loved DMB! and the sand/wind storm that blew through all day was a crazy it really got the tent dirty, but who cares they played BOWA! (ha)

An absolutely awesome show. Even though night one's set may look better, this show was way better. Highlights were the LIOG Boyd solo that blew me away, the amazing Seek Up and of course, and extended prelude to DDTW (w/Butterfly teases througout the show) and a new DDTW outro with lyrics that could be classified as a new song.

Finally got to here BOWA. This show was plain sick. It was boyd's night tonight, seek up and grave were crazy. I'm not sure if I like sugar will or not. Weak encore, I have to mention seek up again because it was the best version I've heard out of god knows how many. Sold out crowd definently had more energy tonight. Popped two dave cherries one of which was the hottest chick in the world who for some strange reason is dating me. too much was awesome but overall I liked friday better.

I lost my Dave Virginity that night, I'm still so pumped. wow. I was the guy who had the champ throw with the green glowing frizbee. from the lawn to almost the stage. what a wicked time, I liked the sat show more, probly cause it was my first, but I can can say definetly not the last, Golden. oh and the U.S military plane over head was tight too. This last weekend will keep me going for a while, or at least till my next show.

My first Gorge show, and 2nd DMB show (1st for my girlfriend). First, the Gorge is jawdroppingly beautiful. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to camp or spend much time there. The people where we were sitting were lame - lotsa pot and no crowd energy. I was longing to be down closer where people actually got into it. The setlist could have been better - but I was happy to hear the best Seek Up ever (that I've heard!). Awesome Stone, too! However, the DMB should play what they want when they want - this I think they did. Overall, a wonderful experience! As Dave put it: "George's gorgeous Gorge!"

I didn't have a ticket for this show when I showed up Friday but am glad I made it. The Stone was amazing, but when is it not. BOWA always good as well, Seek Up rocked, and LIOG another winner. The new songs had their moments of greatness but I thought they were overplayed for the three day show. No real complaints, I just love being at the Gorge for a Dave show.

Highlight of the night was a 21 minute Seek Up. This show was the most relaxed of the three but still great; 22,000 DMB fans strong. It was awesome to see the C5 Air Force Jet do a fly by no less than 1,000 feet above the crowd. The party at the campsite tonight was off the hook, if anyone went to the four kegger that got busted up by 20 Grant County Sheriffs and Security knows what I am talking about.

the best day of the three. The closer was the best ever just because 36 intro to Everyday back to #36 had awesome crowd participation we all in reserved were so loud i could not even hear my self singing.. "Honey, honey come and dance with me." So cool. Speechless night.

Well, actually a long day of sun and alcohol at the gorge campground kept me from remembering to much of this one, altough I do remember waking up to the encore of everyday, with the entire crowd singing and it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I have liked the song a lot more ever since.

Review:
Well, this night was a downer for me and I'm pretty sure it was because we were on the lawn, far right. I think the sound must have been distorted because of this, either that or the boys sounded worse than a high school battle of the bands. Not all that great of a set list, very few surprises. I figured the boys were saving up for a strong Sunday. My friend Kim finally got to see her first Dave show on this night, but I don't think it was as good for her as Sunday was.

Unbelievable. This was my first show and it was much better than expected. I have all the live dvds and, as good as they are, they really don't compare to the real deal. Best songs: 'Stone', 'SMTS', 'Seek Up', 'Crash', 'Stay', and 'DDTW'. Another big highlight was the crowd singing #36 at the first sign that Everyday was going to be played. I hope to make the 10 hour drive from Canada again next year!

2nd DMB Show.

Review:
This was Boyd's show. He was "rompin' and stompin'" and playing the hell out of that fiddle. I felt the band kicked the energy level up a notch from the first show, which I loved but seemed more mellow. I think when they have 3 shows back-to-back they have to pace themselves a little more. I thought the shows had more energy each successive night. This is the 3rd year in a row that I've flown out from Connecticut, and I've yet to be disappointed.

Night Two at the Gorge boasted more extended jams than Night One, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. EXCELLENT rendition of my favorite DMB song, Seek Up. Other highlights include The Stone; Joy Ride; STJL; LIOG; TS; Too Much; and DDTW. All was good, though. Beautiful venue!!!

Only went to this show, so can't compare to others at the Gorge this year...
Show was awesome. Boyd really kicked some butt up there. Sat, stood, and danced on the terrace and enjoyed the awesome view. Under the stars and the moon and getting rocked all night long - couldn't have been better.
Lie in Our Graves was the best of the night, thanks to the Boyd / Dave interaction.
Sweet!

Great crowd tonight. The songs were very radio friendly, but still fun. An Air Force C130 buzzed the crowd while Mraz was playing. He said that that was his mom, flying by to say hi. I loved the DDTW ED encore.

Finally made it to the Gorge after all these years!!!!! I have been to toooo many DMB concerts to count yet I have to say the shows at the Gorge out did just about all of them. What a wonderful weekend! I'll be back next year WITH an RV! Didn't much like driving back and forth from Yakima each night... :( Dave always makes me smile!!! Hugs~Oneswtworld

After a good day of drinking, we made our way to the line. I must've blacked out for a short while because the next thing I knew was I had lost my ticket and was at the front of the line. Luckily a kind gentleman found my ticket and gave it back to me. Unfortunately, once we actually got into the Gorge, we found that we had also lost two of the spliffs we were going to bring in. Concert was still awesome, of course. I mean, it's Dave.

My first Dave show. Cherry, consider yourself popped.
Liked Sunday's setlist better, but only because the guy next to me handed me a joint halfway through Saturday's show. From what I remember, everything looking like a beautiful movie, playing out on a gigantic screen. Whoa. Great show.

This show almost topped the night before. The Stone is a great opener, and it was the last time i heard Seek Up live, it was incredible. The Don't Drink the Water in the encore was the best i have ever heard. This show ranks second on my all-time list, and that was a weekend that i would never forget.
