I wonder if she's the one that was on the rail at the Gorge in 2016 and shit herself but refused to leave.

[Bmwm3oz]

Likely..

It's really a shame they dont take more risks and explore more of the catalog...because they sound fucking amazing.

Couldn't agree more. That sounded pretty f'ing good. A few hiccups maybe, but otherwise good.

This, so much this. The band is better than it's been in over a decade sonically. It's a shame they are risk averse.

it sounds okay, but i've never been a fan of the rockbridge 12 string. sounds flat and empty compared to the w65. that being said, buddy adds nothing to the song, actually takes away from it, IMO.

thanks for sharing, though. haven't paid much of any attention to the sets in detail

Sure hope sledgehammer gets shelved forever after Europe. Such a terrible song to play with their category of songs mia.

I can't believe...

If any of you vomit or shit yourself in my section, your show is over.

[SeeMoreDMB]

I can get down with a Too Much opener

Maybe she figured she smells Dave's farts every nite so she was just trying to return the favor.

Yep. It’s so bad

[YankeesDMB41]

Dave's voice is as good as its been since the early 00's

Wonder if it’s the people holding up the Portugal flag in all of Jeff’s IG pics.

There’s a couple on the rail holding up a Portugal and Italy flag in Jeff’s pics of the crowd each night. All I can think about is how annoyed I’d be if I was behind them and they blocked me out of the pic with that dumb flag.

It's cute that you think they would care lol. Seriously, when Dave speaks of entitlement, these are the folks he's referring to.

That copperpot JTR is fantastic, from how they sound to the video quality.

Phone cameras are only getting better too lol

Can’t get enough! Really hoping to see tunes like Anyone Seen The Bridge and Sugar Will come back with fresh arrangements with Buddy in mind this summer.

[Speilmen230]

A few minor tweaks to yesterday's set could have made it a really special show. Instead it's a run of the mill +4 for me.

Bayou for Seek Up
Stand Up for Warehouse
Funny for Granny
Jimi for #41

Those 4 song changes take this from a +4 to a +12

These sets aren't far off from being so much better, but in that same line of thinking, we are miles away from actually getting sets that looks like this one with the switched out songs:

Too Much
Seek Up
Satellite
Samurai Cop
Crush
Recently
Warehouse
What Would You Say
Granny
Say Goodbye
Sledgehammer
Here On Out
#41
She
Crash Into Me
Don't Drink The Water
Everyday ->
Ants Marching
------------------
Save Me
Pantala Naga Pampa ->
Rapunzel

I would be thrilled to get a set like that in 2019 - nothing out of the ordinary either.

[Antiramie]

Rapunzel as a show closer is quickly getting to AATW closer level of annoying.

I always thought Sugar Will has been missing the keys that Butch played in 04 that helped amplify that riff. I would love to hear it again with Buddy on it.

[Antiramie]

Would really love to see If I Had It All come back with Buddy. He would add a lot of depth to that song live. Plus it's just a great song that has been massively underplayed.

They need to slow it down, and Buddy needs to play some keys at the ends. None of that organ crap. Try to play it the way it was in 2000.

Completely agree. That with the holding back the years needs to come back.

I feel that way about Ants Marching right now. I feel like it's closing every single show

I agree, though Ants is a way better live song, and I've sort of accepted the role it has...even though I don't necessarily like it in that slot.

They have a billion songs that are strong enough to be closers, yet they still stick to the same ones every single show. I don't get it.

What a difference four songs can make and it's not like the four you inserted are uber rarities or anything. Nobody leaves that show disappointed.

Two Much into Seek Up would be bad ass BTW.

I love the way they currently sound, still think Buddy should play more piano and less organ though

Agreed. He could also play a little less in certain parts, but overall they sound great.

I love how full they sound, Dave's acoustic is loud in the mix and Tim isn't doubling everything Dave's playing like he used to, plenty of softer playing and dynamic, Dave is killing it vocally on some stuff like Say Goodbye. The setlists are redundant and a lot of their great songs are missing but in terms of pure sound I like this version of the band way more than where they had been for a while.

Such a great song, and they do a great job on the cover. But put it to bed for a while... gets old when it’s played every night.

Also, why is this band obsessed with covers?

This. And lately they’re just covers of overplayed classic songs without any real groundbreaking interpretations.
