I think it was Portugal that Joe Lawlor told us his favorite show ever was played

Not my favorite era of the band but damn

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

That was a great show, but I think he was talking about the Portugal show from 2007 that became LT10

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

Oh yeah I agree, just thought it was a good reference point for the crowd there

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

That's a fuckin crowd right there. There for the music and the togetherness. I've never seen or heard that before, thank you for sharing!

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

Cheers man, thanks for all the uploads and remasters!!!

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

As far as the actual Sirius xm feed, are they intentionally making the guitars sound hot incase of a potential D+T release of these shows?

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

Typed this in the D&T Mexico thread already, but I'll type it again. I went to the D&T show in Mt Pleasant in 2003. People yelled and screamed and talked the entire show. Dave tried frequently to get everybody to shut up. They would not.

Anyway, point is, that was 20 years ago. Same shit.

Full band, they're loud, Dave doesn't talk nearly as much.

It sucks that people can't help themselves and talk a lot during shows. But it's also nothing new

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

Alcohol plays a huge factor.

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

Who is the new sound guy? Did not hear about him

Xcacel's Notes:
After Joe Lawlor's interview for the corner of Grey Street (great job, Bruce and Nolan), I was curious ​​to check out Cancun N2, described by Joe as one of the best recent D&T shows.
As discussed above, the show is strongly affected by the loud crowd ​who attended the show. One asshole, in particular, was so loud, close to the mics and so annoying. Now, I am trying to understand that you spend a lot of money to get to Mexico, and you are attempting to make everyone know that you are there ("I am screaming, thus I do exist"). But what you're really doing is ruining a performance. I put an extensive effort to clean the audio rip from the shouts, the screams, the whistles and the #1 asshole. I did my best, but I don't know if I succeeded completely (considering that I mainly focused on the beginning and the end of each track).
​Like last time, I created two different folders:
- Mastered: cleaned version, with some minor EQ and gain adjustment.
- Original: if you like to hear the show exactly as streamed.​

Thanks again. :thumbsup

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

Thank you!! Will be great to check out later today or tomorrow!

This is what makes me want to NOT go to Mexico to see D&T. I can't stand people talking at shows, it drives me INSANE. Especially at this venue/event when its just D&T... I mean the sets are pretty incredible, the Dave speak is top notch, but I'm not spending a few thousand to barely be able to enjoy the show because a bunch of assholes are there.

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

Thanks again for doing this. N3 hopefully next week :)

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

my one and only full D&T show was at West Point in 99...Crowd was so bad. Completely ruined my D&T experience and since that day, i do not go out of my way to get D&T tix.

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

Doesn't Rob Evans typically mix their live streams? Or is he not doing that anymore?

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

Thanks, Xcacel! Appreciate you and all the hard work you do!

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

Too many pina coladas at the pool?

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

Go listen to Luther College. It sounds like two completely different people performing.

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

We were first timers in MX this year, and we're not at all type that needs/wants to be super close. We were posted up probably 40ish yards back, dead center, from the stage each night. It was crickets during the quiet tunes all 3 nights. The people we were around were amazing. We had the most incredible experience and still talk about how quiet it was during the quiet and Tim solo songs.

I guess where you are really does make a huge difference. Feel like the closer you get to the stage is where you experience the loud, disruptive assholes which is evident when listening to the streams.

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

Thank you so much, Xcacel!!

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

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm on the fence about Mexico next year (if it occurs), and the rowdier crowd has definitely been a con.

I was also a concerned going into it, but couldn't have been proven more wrong. Was the best vacation my wife and I have ever had. Really hoping they do it again next year. If they do announce it, not even a question of not going lol.

Highly, highly recommended. We literally still talk about it every day. Magical experience.

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

Yeah, it is definitely a risk. I 'm sure I would still have an awesome time lol Hopefully I can make it there one time

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

Yeah, check out people's wildly different experiences in the D&T Mexico thread. Seems it was very dependent on where you were in the crowd. I was pretty close, but very far on Tim's side, and my experience was much more like PMUL's. Pretty chatty at the beginning of N1, but got much better as it went along, especially after Dave's Vatican story.

My rankings are

Set: N1>N2>N3
Crowd: N3>N2>N1

I got no problem with Molly Tuttle. She's obviously very talented. But we also didn't spend all that money to see D&T play a bunch of bluegrass songs. That Ants was fantastic though.

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

The good thing about those shows is it's relatively easy to move around in the crowd if you want to change your experience. It's generally not packed in like a Pit unless you're very close to the stage.

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

Thanks XCacel!

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

@ XCacel - Thank you for doing this. These sound great!

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

27 years is a hell of a drug.

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

I'm right there with you - real close. We did have a similar experience lol..

My rankings

Set: N1>N2>N3
Crowd: Honestly, it was the same awesome experience every night, so I have to base it on the people around us. N2>N3>N1
