Unreal show. My first since November 1998 in Winnipeg, Canada. Loved all of the old stuff and really enjoyed the new stuff (thought the jams would be longer for the new stuff). WYA is great but should not be the last song. #41 as opener is great. I wish DMB would do a Canadian tour again.

First time seeing the DMB although I have seen Dave solo and with TM. Fantastic show! Quite possibly the best stadium show I've ever seen although the primo seat location helped a lot.

First DMB show, and it was incredible. There was not a single moment that I was not amazed at the way Dave and Co. groove. Amazingly in tune with the crowd and one another. I've been listening to them for years, but for some reason never got to see them live. I'll never let that happen again.

Great show! The band seemed to really enjoy themselves. It was great seeing Granny, Crash, & Lover Lay Down, but I'm so bummed I missed Say Goodbye, Jimmy, and Ants on Friday. I'm glad they're still sticking to the classics.

Show 30 something and it was certainly good but nothing too special, pretty consistent with the last couple years. I loved Granny, Two Step and of course The Stone but I was disappointed in not hearing Watchtower. I also must say that I was quite disappointed in my Warehouse seats. I've been a member since 2000, gone to a ton of shows and they put me in lower box, not on the field. My good friend who has been a member just as long had Section 4, row 10 on the field. I just don't understand!!!

Good show, not great. Maybe because of my seats tonight - last night was much better...

As a relatively new fan (6 shows now, in 2 years), I'd been really hoping to hear Granny and Tripping Billies, and he killed those with consecutive songs. Amazing. And the little segue from Nancies to Warehouse, just like on Red Rocks, was sweet.
A friend I went with who's been a fan much longer had her night practically ruined by the choice of What You Are for a closer, but I told her it can't be Watchtower every night. Maybe as a newer fan, I just can't quite grasp the hatred some people have for anything Everyday.

Show number 14 for me and, let me tell you, after last night's show, I really thought the band couldn't outdo themselves but wow was I wrong. An insane setlist and a great performance tonight. The guests weren't as powerful this time around (except for on Two Step which was amazing!) but the setlist was strong, the energy was great and the show, overall, was one of the best of the tour.
Can't wait for Marysville. Might not live up to either of these two but, then again, it is an odd number (Marysville shows #1 and 3 were great while Marysville shows #2 and 4 were weak sauce).
See ya'll there!

Amazing set - really on tonight to give warehouse members a show up front - great vibe all around, tight jams with some neat new licks - missing Santana or Trey or Karl Denson though...

Fantastic show - fantastic setlist all the way up to the encore (which was very slow with "steady as we go" and "what you are" - odd choices for the encore since we were ready to go into orbit and instead we eased back down to earth via "what you are" - a tune that's a bit esoteric and hard to follow) But, be that as it may, both nights were the best I've ever seen - check out how many old school songs these guys did - rare and delightful stuff here, jams that just drive on and on - Reshawn Ross on this trumpte just would NOT let go of his solo - I can't wait to hear it again to see if it holds up - DOWNLOAD THIS CONCERT - if it doesn't become a video or a CD release, you should, no you must own it!

This how was amazing. So much energy and they played a lot of the songs that i had been talking about "i hope they play" Plus it was my birthday so that made it so much more amazing.

What a great show, awesome seats in section 2. Dave's voice sounded great after having a few weeks off. A funny thing happened on the way to the show. We decided that we needed a picture next to Dave's tour bus...so as we were posing, the driver who was watching us from his camera on the back of the bus said, "this is only a tour bus, please do not take any pictures." Not sure what to do, we chickened out and left. Looking back i should have snapped that picture first.

kick-ass show... simply stunning... i LOVED the stone... #41 is always a great opener... great first hour or so, loved American Baby and Crash... WWYS kicked ass... then came a great stretch of non-Stand Up songs: #34, Granny, Billies, the stone, lover lay down, and a great nancies>warehouse... old dirt hill was a huge crowd killer.. stand up was okay, but then Two Step was out of this world! with the krasno and ross it was unbelievable, krasno is a beastly guitarist... SAWG is a good song, but by no means does it belong in a encore, and What You Are was great, i love that song... this was my 5th DMB show, and the best one yet, 7.31.05 at Randalls pulls in at a very close 2nd...

A little more chill than the first night, but still an amazing setlist and the best versions of the songs I have heard. The guests were great. And I'm so glad they played lover lay down.

barriec (wife) and I met with the antsmarching.org group before the concert. Start to finish the night was a great party. The ultimate crossover of high and music ever for me. The next morning we agreed to go to the gorge for that Friday (8-19-05).

I didn't think they jammed as much as the Friday night show (but that was just me), but either way it was just as awesome!

Possibly the best Dave show i've seen. The setlist was great and the band was kickin' it. Warehouse and Two Step with Rashawn and Eric were the highlights.

Great concert but a Ball Park isn't the right venue for DMB. We were in the lowest section of permanent seats and we could barely see anything. Next time I'll have to get my hands on some field seats. Black Eyed Peas were an interesting choice as opening act but they were still a lot of fun.

just an unbelievable show. First half of the show was fairly mellow, with hints of craziness, with dave's addition to american baby, but the last part of the show with warehouse, two step, and closing with what you are, was simply fantastic. all the solos during two step blew me away.

After the first night I thought we had lost Dave to heroin...a little reluctant and worried about what the second night would offer. But Saturday's show was by far one of the most magical concert experiences I have ever had the priviledge of attedning, and not solely because of the intensity of the band or the magnitude of the setlist. The thing that made this show were the people around me, in fact, everyone that attended...you all were insanely powerful. These were and are some of the most genuine and caring and fun-loving and truly happy people I have ever had the pleasure of being close to at a concert. A shout out to the guy behind me who helped me not to fall over from being drunk on the excitement and the splendor of Dave Matthews Band. And another shout out to the boys on the stage, doing what they love and bringing it to SF. Thank you! The stadium was full of joy!

Awesome show. Great setlist. I was a little dissapointed in the encore selection but an awsome version of Two Step, Granny, Warehouse and Dancing Nancies more than made up for it. I was sitting on the field in section 12 however I was greatly dissapointed in the crowd around me. People were sitting down, talking on their cell phones leaving their seats in the middle of songs. Nobody seemed excited to be there. My girlfriend and I felt like we were the only ones in our group that were actually into the show. Did anyone else have this problem?

Best show I've seen yet! Incredible setlist! The Two Step played here was unbelievable--I hope it goes down as the best two step ever played live.

This was show #9 for me and I have to tell you that it was, by far, the best. I know tons of people say that on this site when they review shows, but honestly, look at the setlist. In comparason to the shows earlier in this tour, this one had the most fan favorites. After the first hour I thought that it couldn't get any better, and every song afterwards proved me wrong. It was truly amazing. #41 as an opener cannot be topped, Granny was amazing, and Billies in the middle of the set really kept everyone out of their seats. I loved every minute of it and am sure everyone else did as well.
