fiddler's is 18,000. just as big as any other outdoor pavilion the band regularly goes to. if N2 really is sold out, thats a huge surprise considering the shitty numbers they had at dicks in 2013. the biggest problem with AFTW was the marketing, which the band has no control over. management did absolutely nothing to get word of the album out to the public. lots of people have no idea DMB released an album in 2012. and what little they did, like release singles, they completely butchered. they picked some of the absolute worst possible choices for singles and left songs that might actually grab people's attention sitting on the bench. if the next album gets promoted the same way, there is no way there will be any interest in the band following its release. |

And it's a shame, but I have a feeling those shows will see something special. Hoping for that Colorado weekend to be what I didn't get out of Camden. Probably end up with my 3rd Be Yourself or Can't Stop of the summer, though, and still no Nancies or Warehouse

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Has anyone else been having trouble with the downloads from DMBLive lately? And by problems I don't mean the usual clunky interface or slow speed, but actual tracks being left off of downloads?
I had heard of a friend buying a show and it having a track missing, but I figured it was just user error or a fluke. However, I just bought the Oak Mountain DMBLive and it was missing a track as well once the download finished. Normally I'd just call up customer service, but they won't be there until Monday morning. Frustrated. |
Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
The Academy DMBLive show had a corrupted file, had to call twice for them to reseed the download again. The first guy I called blamed it on iTunes and told me I should call Apple. Second phone call I had to insist on the reseed after they were reluctant to do so. Good luck.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Also, the Revolver show has an unlabeled The Best Of What's Around included at the end of the Two Step file making it look like there was a missing file, but that's the only nonissue problem among the full band releases.

I'm just fucking around, it's never going to happen The band is ending this leg of the tour really strong. I hope it isn't like it was in 2013 and the setlists start to lose steam in Colorado. 2013 was such a good year but those last shows were nothing to write home about. This year seems to be trending the other way, the East Coast got the shaft and the rest of us are warming up to some good sets later in the season. So let's cap this off with some Last Stop plays |

I have a few question about the gorge sweepstakes.
1. Should you get a e mail conferming that you entered? 2. Can I also enter under my dad and moms e mail? |
Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Random thought: Whiter Shade of Pale is my least favorite cover Dave does. I like the original version, but Dave's rendition is beyond bland, and he can rarely play it correctly anyways. I have never seen a performance where he doesn't screw up and give that goofy "Whoops!" face. If he HAS to play a cover, I would gladly take Take Me To Tomorrow, Needle and The Damage Done, Rye Whiskey, etc. over Whiter Shade.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Long time lurker, finally posting.
I'll say that I've noticed Jimi Thing gets a lot of hate on this site, and I do not understand at all. I mean, it's different every time. The song itself is classic DMB, with great contributions from every member. The jam has been great in every generation, including this one. It's one of the best things dmb does today. I think if I went back in time to 2004 or something and posted a link to a Jimi Thing with Jeff Coffin and Tim Reynolds, people would call it the best Jimi of all time. But because it's the norm now, people lose interest. I just find that really weird. |
Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Also I've been listening to Big Whiskey a lot lately, and I think it's a really solid album. I absolutely love the Spaceman-Squirm-Alligator Pie-Seven run. Lying In The Hands Of God is on the same level as some of their earlier work, in my mind. Rob Cavallo did a great job. The album itself is great because it has the only versions of the songs with LeRoi. Does anyone remember the April Sessions version of Why I Am? Loved that sax before the first verse, it's a shame they omitted that.

I really do love the lyrics too. Just stirs up a lot of imagery for me. All the "love the way you ____'s" don't bother me. All the freaks are on parade is a great line, but the second verse is my favorite. "I'm not all bad, but I'm a faithful sinner. I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinne." Fucking love that line for some reason. Also, "I'd be a dog for a tail to chase" is clever. |

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
since they took the time to go back and re-record boyd's solo on LIOG from live in chicago - they should have extended the same courtesy to timmy and let him re-record his solo on LIOG while they were at it too.......

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
Texted this to Zilla and realized it's a good entry for this thread:
DMB needs to stop going to Camden early in the tour. They’ve played almost 10 songs since that weekend that I’ve never seen live that they’re busting out and it’s killing me. |
Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
It's not the placement of Camden
It's how lazy the front man is. When he wants to be comfortable with sets, that's when the tour is at its worst. Missing spoon, let you down, 40, and so many other songs now making their way into the acoustic sets makes me mad. It's a complete joke |

At least there are tapes though and I'm gonna enjoy listening to this WPB shows. They looked like a lot of fun and I like Branford. |
