best seat's i've ever had. now i'm spoiled. great set. But they were supposed to play Rupunzel (for first time of tour) and crowd demanded two step. loudest song chant i've ever heard.

Amazing show. Great Energy. Everyone in the band tonight was absolutely on fire. Dancing Nancies was just crazy and Two Step was sweet even after all the chanting. SMTS was a good opener and the next couple of songs really had the crowd going. Bartender was one of my favorite moments of the night (first time live) The energy kept going as the banded ended the main set with Watchtower. The Stand Up songs also continued making their mark. Until next time...

Best show I've been to yet! Great kickoff with So Much To Say, crazy Boyd solo on Nancies, excellent jams on Bartender and Louisianna Bayou. Excellent mix of old stuff and new. The crowd was chanting for Two Step all night and the band didn't dissapoint. I've never seen a crowd explode like it did when Dave jumped into the first chords!

night two left a lot to be desired for some fans, myself included. maybe night one was better just cause i was in the pit row 8 and tonight i was in the lawn, but the whole atmosphere felt oddly unsettling. tonight was my 6th show of 15 this summer and so i guess between both SPAC nights and night 1 in Camden i had high hopes for tonights show. It was a solid show, but i thought #41 or Seek Up would be played tonight since neither were played in any of the PA, NJ, or NY shows thus far. Also would have liked PNP>Rapunzel since they have played it this tour many times but again not at the Northeast shows. The Dreaming Tree teases are absolutly killing me and I hope they'll just play the shit instead of repeating American Baby. I don't mind repeating the Bayou, Hunger, and maybe even Dreamgirl (which is getting old), but I definitly expected less Stand Up songs because at previous 2-night venues the second night only had about 6 from the new album. Anyway, good show. Highlight would have to be the "interlude" secment before Two Step. Hopefully it turns into something more, Dave had a cool riff goin and boyd had a sweet solo that gave me chills for some reason. Hopefully DMB spreads out Stand Up over the three nights at Gorge, which is the next time ill see em.

This was one of the most mellow nights I shared with fans at a DMB show. It left me relaxed, but wanting more of the iconic riffs from more dates songs.

I was disappointed with the stand up repeats, expected a little better setlist, but felt like there was a little more energy than last night. And rapunzel is my favorite song, and i've never heard it, so fuck all of you who chanted for two step

PIT ROW 5!!!!!!!! Absolutely AMAZING seats, me an Zig again, he was blown away by the seats, and the bombs, and after 29 shows, # 30 was a spectuclar one. Nancies is forever welcome, and one of the best the boys play live. They were really on. The new songs are getting really good, can't get enough of these guys, and as long as they tour.........I will be there.

Much better encore. Crowd was chanting Two-Step, they played it. All good. I would have been happy with Rapunzel or Two Step. Anything beats what you are from the previous night.

My third DMB show of the 2005 tour! Great show. A mellower show than the night before, but a lot of energy, and some nice surprises! Great jams!
User: crazy_easy
Review:
First, anyone who bitched about last night's closer "What You Are" is just stupid. I'd give anything to trade "Two Step" from tonight to have heard "What You Are" instead. "Two Step" is good, but it's not that great. I wonder what Dave was planning to play at the end before everyone chanted "Two Step"...
Aside from that, it was a good show. Not the best I've seen, but that was mostly due to the drunken high schoolers on the lawn. I got my "Bartender" and "Out of My Hands" so I'm happy. The new songs sound so much better in concert.

BARTENDER ROCKED MY WORLD TONIGHT....this was by far the best song of the night...they jammed for a good 15 mins...his energy was not too strong tonight...but i still enjoyed the set...the interlude to two step was really well done and caught us all by suprise....i had fun seeing dave 3 times in 5 days and hopefully he will be back in the fall/winter/spring..

Great show. Two Step at the end was incredible.I really wonder if they werent gonna play two step originally but then changed it bc the crowd was going nuts. They started like a half hour ealier than last night which was kinda wierd. The crowd here is so awesome. I don't know if it was bc I was inside the pavillion tonight or not but it was quite loud. Hershey can't shake a stick at the Tweeter Center thats for sure. Thanks to the boys for two amazing shoes. Ants from the first show was prob the best song of both nights.

good show. bartender was awesome, so was nancies. dave broke 2 strings during watchtower, thats how hard he played it. he actually opened with a dreaming tree tease, i know he teased it in the encores of the SPAC shows and night 1 in camden. hopefully he'll play it for real at randall's island.
robert randolph was actually in the crowd at one point, i didnt even know it was him. apparently he knew someone in section 104 near the front (row behind me) and got them VIP tickets. my friend talked to him briefly w/o knowing it was him (only thought he looked like him), only to later find out from randolph's friend that it really was him. interesting.

This was my first time sitting inside at a DMB show, excluding Dave and friends at Wachovia. The band seemed really pumped to play the tracks off Stand Up, and they sounded awesome. This was the first time i've ever seen Dave pull a chair out from backstage to sit down, kinda wierd, but still good. The Two Step ending was amazing, especially because everyone in the crowd was yelling for it.

Absolutely ridiculous night of DMB! The set list was on fire and it was the best energy I have ever seen in the band. I thought I was going to pass out during Nancies, Bartender, AND Two Step. Thank you for an incredible second night.

Review:
This was another solid DMB night. I think fans expected heavey pre-standup because of the night before. I thought the beginning of the show was rather slow and weak. SMTS (which I was kind of thinking they just closed with too much last night, will they do ASTB-->Too Much?), R&R, OSW, & Dreamgirl I think was a slow beginning and the band wasn't into it yet. Hunger for the great light is just plain awesome, got the showing started. Out of my hands is getting there. Than Nancies blew me away...really was Boyd & carters show. Stand Up is really growing on me with the gritty, halloween-type voice. old dirt hill is ok. Then Bartender & Bayou were off the hook!!! WWYS, just classic. Stolen is ok. American Baby is just a lul to me. Then AATW was in effect. Steady as we go " a quiet one" with dave actaully seated, even when I saw him in VA beach with a broken rib he didn't sit. Then the crowd was yelling for two step which enjoyed, but then they broke into a cool interlude, which the crowd really took away from. Then beloved two step, which was scheduled rapunzel. Started very slow, and then built up. Considering last night, we were all hoping for #41, say goodbye, tripping billies or seek up. A solid show which I enjoyed, but too many repeats. Night one was better.

A beautiful set. Tons of energy from everbody, in particular Dave & Boyd. The setlist looks common on paper, however it was an incredible show. The audio should be amazing for DL's. Highlights include an incredible Nancies & Bartender, Watchtower was outstanding and the Stand Up tracks were all tight and on point. Dave was in great voice and was sweating like a madman. The encore features a rare appearance of a "Me & Her" interlude leading into a Two Step the crowd was chanting for since the encore break. The band changed the planned PNP>Rapunzel to 2 Step to appease the chants and the crowd went absolutely nuts when Dave started playing the Dm chord that begins 2 step. Definitely worth the time to download & burn for your collection!

All in all, I thought this was a pretty good show, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first night. Probably because I finally after 10 shows got to see Lover Lay Down and Typical Situation last night. One big downer was all the people cheering for Two Step, I personally think it's a little insulting to the band, but they did rock it out. Wonder what they would have played.....
User: hope2carryon
Review:
This show was a great time. It was great to hear Bartender, I always try to guess the songs to be played based on what guitar Dave picks up (12, 6 - Acoustic, or the Baritone Ele.), and what horn Leroi has. I think Dave and the band deserve a thanks for listening to the crowd's chant of 2-Step, that will definitely be memorable. Also, I have to say, while I love everyone in the band, Carter and Butch have been doing an amazing job playing together. Butch is definitely the most under-rated member of the band by far. Overall, incredible show. Thanks Dave, Carter, Leroi, Stefan, Boyd, and Butch for a great show!!!

Well I love DMB and can't really say anything bad about such a great band. It was a good concert but I must say that I was not as hyped as I usually am during this concert. After seeing the playlist of Night 1 here at Tweeter there was such potential in the show. I expected some new songs from Stand Up but not 50% of the show (and 5 repeats from night 1)... after seeing a good number of concerts this summer the great songs that Stand Up offers are beggining to be overplayed. They started off great and had some great songs in the middle (Nancies [some serious violin playing] / Bartender / Bayou ...), as well as a solid closing (watchtower/two step).. but I was hoping for some classic older songs (seekup, warehouse, say goodbye...). There are so many dedicated fans that come to watch them that they don't need to spend half of every concert advertising the new album...(but i don't want to sound like a downer...they have new songs that need to be broken in live...and some are definately classic live songs in the making). It might be just that DMB has so many good old songs that they could play that that's the problem...or maybe they have some deal with the record label that says they have to play so many new songs per concert. But lets hope the album breakdown becomes a little more even in the future. Thanks for a great show guys...they give one hell of a performance.

A great concert, they really tore it up. I really like stand up, just a little much of it tonight, I'd like to see some old stuff. Recently is definately my favorite song as of this moment I'd like to get a hear of that. The band tore it up, Boyd rediculous, steffon amazing, carter godly. Thanks dave and the band

My third show, lawn was amazing, good vibe, sound was great. The opening songs from SMTS to Hunger were all incredible and i love the new outro jam in Dreamgirl. Other highlights were Nancies, Stand Up, Bayou, WWYS, and AB/Watchtower to close. Only downside was that they played 3 slower songs in the set - OOMH, Stolen Away, and ODH, which kinda brought the energy down for a little bit. Encore was pretty good, however, I learned that Rapunzel was supposed to be played, and honestly, i would have rather had that than two step, but two step was awesome nonetheless. Overall, a great show.

Show was awesome as usual. Dancing Nancies, Bartender, What Would You Say, Two Step, all songs I haven't heard live until tonight. Boyd was amazing in Nancies, Two Step was an awesome way to close the encore. Have been waiting to hear it live since I started coming, always my favorite song. This was my 7th show and I finally got a show where they didn't play Too Much. Can't wait to get this and tuesday's show downloaded.

if you put nights one and two together you would have the best dmb show ever. was not a big fan of the 9 stand up songs i heard. stolen away and old dirt hill were my low points of the night... now about two step: last night the crowd chanted it since the first song ended. on my way home last night i was saying he has to play it night two. before the band even got on stage the entire crowd was chanting for it. by the time of the encore the chant was so loud it was as if there were to be a riot had it not been played. i have never seen carter go so absolutely insane he is the best drummer in the world. i would definately agree with anyone who says that was the best two step ever. still disappointed i didnt get to see liog, rapunzel and seek up. maybe next year!

I'm not gonna lie: pit seats make everything better!! The set wasnt on fire, but the atmosphere in the pit sure as hell was. Shauna gave an usher the middle finger when the band took the stage and we were late in getting to our seats (relax Shauna, they didnt even start playing yet!) and he made us walk all the way around the center section of the lower pavilion to get to our seats...he threatened to throw her out for giving him the bird, at which point I grabbed her by the arms and said lets get the fuck to our sweet ass seats.

I absolutely went nuts when OSW started up, I love that song so much and never heard it live until tonight. The show was not bad, SMTS kicked ass as an openner, not as good as last nights Stone though. Each year i go to the shows I am steadily converting more and more friends. I went with a huge crew tonight and it really does make the show more fun. Watchtower blew my mind it was so tight. I could feel Daves emotions when he was screaming "FIRE!!!" wow, and then they come back out for an encore like no other. SAWG was just beautiful with my best friends under each arm. Then the band complied with the crowds ongoing Two Step chants throughtout the show and they played a good 20 min version...AWESOME!

Night two at the Waterfront was another good show this year. However, I believe this is the first time that Night One out-did Night Two. They did not play Billies at this venue for the first time ever during a two or three night stand. Not a big deal, they played a very good version of Two Step that got the place wild and much like last year's Billies closer, everyone on the lawn was dancing and having a good time during Two Step. Highlites include: SMTS,Nancies (at sunset), Old Dirt Hill (firsttime heard and I love it, very chill), Bayou (so much energy on this song tonight), WWYS, and of Course Interlude>Two Step. What a great two night stand at The Tweeter Center in Camden. This was my third straight year here and I have never been dissapointed. Well all my local shows are passed, now I wait for the Gorge and hopefully Red Rocks, see you guys then.

Not sure what was on the set list for last song, but they had no choice but to play Two Step, and they did. The crowd begged for it and it ended the night perfectly. Thank you again DMB for another wonderful and ENERGETIC year at Camden.
