There are some nights where Dave clearly doesn't give a flying fuck. This was one of them.

    I KNOW this has been beaten to death like Carter's snare on Ants, but would it have killed them to pull out JTR or ViTR at either Bristow or VaB?
    Agreed. You can't tell me that after 26 years on the road Dave doesn't know how to construct a setlist that'll make casual and die-hard fans happy. All he had to do was sub out Satellite/One Sweet World/Cornbread (Pick 2) for JTR and Captain/Raven and I'm immediately far happier about the set. I get that some venues are "more special" to the band, but I just felt screwed after listening to the SPAC sets a week before only for them to lay a creativity egg when I spend money and drive to the show. I know that it happens some time and I'm no more entitled to a dank set than anyone else, but it just seems like the last 3 or 4 VA beach shows have been horrendous set-wise and I'm starting to get sick of it

    I don't think it can be overlooked but they are in a stretch where they maybe are playing too many shows. 9 shows in 11 days from Canada to Virginia, it's going to lead to some heavily repeated (or uninspired setlists).

    It's not just pure rarity chasing. OSW has been extremely prevalent for the last like 3 or 4 tours and I just would personally prefer something fresh. I don't think it's madness to want to add to the songs you've heard live. One Sweet World is a good song, don't get me wrong.

    could have been worse, like what we had at burgettstown:
    https://antsmarching.org/tour/ViewShow.php?ShowID=4718

    obviously a few good ones in there, but most of the middle was slow and boring and the encore was horrid. hate sister with a passion and bayou is not a closer.

    Just catching up here...been a while. I was FLAMED on FB for posting that it was a mediocre show. Especially after watching SPAC N2 a couple of times prior to leaving.

    You're nuts. That was top 5 show (of 17) for me this summer. DIDO, Warehouse, Nancies, Too Much, SMTS, BOWA. So many gems.

    Absolutely. I would have taken a life to have that show in Bristow this year as apposed to what we got.

    yep, (and OSW, DDTW) those were the only good ones (I could do without Rapunzel, PNP, Too Much and SMTS...heard them 10+ times in my 33 shows), the rest were just OK and some like Sister, That girl is you, squirm & LIHOG sucked.

    So no one recorded this show?? I don't think I've ever seen that. Thought was always someone to record it. The band should make all shows available for download. Charge $10 and let people download it. I mean if they will allow recording then why not just sell a high quality recording?

    someone in the main DMBc boards brought up a good point -- the availability of the shows through other means, combined with the somewhat crappier setlists, combined with how much of a hassle it is to tape with a proper rig are probably all contributing factors to the lower availability of tapes this year.

    Because fans don't want recordings of these shows. They don't like the sets. They don't like the performances. They hate this tour.

    I'll gladly do a B+P to get a copy of this show unless someone is kind enough to share a link. It wasn't the best I've been to, but certainly the most recent and enjoyable. TY

    I think there were only 2-3 stands I could see at the 2016 show and I have only seen the 1 copy of it out. This year I did not see any stands at all. We may end up having to cross fingers for a live release. Hopefully I just missed someone since I didn't really look around until it was getting darker.

    So I guess it was never recorded. Would like for the song they did the Prince segment "Sexy MFer". Was awesome. Anyone know of a live show they did this with this year I could record?
