The encore of my first show (May 8, 98) was:

Typical Situation
Two Step

I’ve been hooked ever since! I just assumed Typical was a favourite for most everyone. It’s one of the originals that 4.0 (?) does justice to

I always love hearing people first show stats. So crazy what everyone ends up getting.

My first show, opener, was Dreaming Tree. What I would give to relive that. :lol

Nothing special, very tame for '96 standards.

Don’t be, I just happen to be the right age for this band. That was the summer after my senior year of high school! Was a fun show, remember a lot of it. I went to a large HS, and DMB was one of the bigger Hershey shows that year, so literally tailgated all day with like 100 of my classmates, probably the last day I saw a lot of them!

I will say that the band was pretty big by that time in that area, had listened to UTTAD and Crash many times by that point. But damn did that show, that band, that sound leave quite an impression on me!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

That Two Step, Rhyme, Typical is awesome.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Man, if I lived where DMB played bigger venues regularly when I was in HS... My first show, was NOLA Jazz Fest 98. I remember most of it like it was yesterday. Two Step opener was what immediately made them my favorite band. I was a junior in HS at this show. I remember a lot of people that were much much older dancing and singing everything so loud. I had no idea the band had such a following. Everybody we met was from out of state. It was the weekend before BTCS came out so some was very new. It was before the internet was a household requirement too. I remember the encore of Halloween. Boyd was very audible and it was played like the album, but the album wasn't even out yet. My friends and I were blown away at not just the show, but the people. Thanks for mentioning first shows. That brought back some great memories. When I was a Senior, I got to go to Mobile in 99 and then from 2000 on, the real road trips began. Good times!

My first show, two days after Christmas in 1995:

First full "Little Thing," "Typical" solo in the encore. Pretty standard looking back, but it hooked me hard.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

First show. Champaign, IL 2005. Wasn’t a fan yet, only knew Ants marching and Crash. My now wife had an extra ticket and took me.

I don’t know about you guys, but maybe because of the forced stop, I love to hear these kind of stories.
In the case of laststopdmb, I would like to hear more about those 68 shows you have been, I mean the road type of stories. And also from the others.

We could even make a separate thread out of it, what do you think?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

2003 I might have put 5,000 on my car just going to shows!

First show was actually a peach with a cool set. JTR, Grace, STDH, Break Free and the encore was on point.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

That GIG is fantastic, one of the best versions of all time.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Thanks man. Maybe I’ll reconsider...:monkey

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Oh yes! Now this is awesome

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Wow, awesome choice!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Awesome, awesome choice for Sirius. This radio channel is really knocking it out of the park lately. I listen to DMB all the time anyway and now it's even worse.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Holy shit, what a great pick.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Cant wait for this! Surely it'll be ripped :multi

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Sweet! will definitely be tuning in for that one! Love how they sounded in 04.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Ugh. I want to hear that Stone. Maybe I'll figure out how to download a rip.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I think they have 3 months free right now for the streaming app

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Not to mention a couple prior: Mohegan 2018 and the 2020 Dave and Tim MX

It honestly feels like we're getting really stellar releases once a month. It's sort of....... amazing
