I was kind of surprised how low key the lots kind of were. I'm not complaining, maybe since we parked on the back side of the venue (lawn) it was more chill. VERY quick to get out, which was nice. The venue was solid, nothing spectacular. Sat in section B for N1 and Section A for N2. I was surprised they didn't have screens on the sides of the stage. Friday night was fantastic and Saturday I was surprised they ended so early, as everyone else seems to be. Overall it was 2 good sets, some first time songs, some rare songs and just a fun time. I'd go back next year!

Glafd you made it. Per your comments about the venue. The original alure for first time visitors has unfortunately been cemented over, figuratively and literally. Very moderate compared to 1989-roughly 2007. But people who have been going every year, it is still the same, an amazing experience as far as what the venue offers to the experience.


So, if you noticed, to the north, there was nothing but cornfields and trees. About ten years ago, that is how that entire area was within about a 15 mile radius. It was a venue surrounded by forest, cornfields and a few winding country roads.


And so this is the original mystique of DC. This was all part of the majic that DC could offer. This is why it has been a top 5 venue in the country for years as far as the experience of DC goes.. On the other side of that coin - last summer Deer Creek was the no. 1 ampitheater in the world wide for tickets sold. That's pretty cool. So that end has held up.


So you would raodtrip from wherever. If you were coming from the south, you would circle around Indianapolis. YOu would drive through some moderate metropolitan areas and then you would take a right off of 31. After about three minutes, it was as if you entered a new world. You would be passing by little run down barns, tiny farm houses, little ponds and would be driving on a little winding road. Soon all of the campsites would become visible. And then, out of nowhere, in the middle of a cornfield, an amptheater became visible.


It was truly a concert experience out in the middle of nowhere. It was beautiful. And it still is. But its just not the same. And I feel bad for those who were not able to soak in that experience at least once. And so starting about 10-15 years ago, right across the street, they built that outdoor mall. Soon after that it was a movie theater. And soon after that were the suburbs.


So.. that's the story of DC. Come back next year.

No kidding. That Crush was wild. Carter absolutely KILLED it!

Hi All - question for the indy locals...

Coming into town this fall with my kids, my sister and her kids, and my parents to celebrate my dad's 70th bday. Looks like there's a home game that weekend...what areas other than downtown would you recommend staying in greater indy? I know we'll for sure do the children's museum, but also interested in other cool things for the kids. I've only stayed downtown or in noblesville, so unsure of what other areas would be nice. Thanks in advance!!!

[btpeters]

Keystone at the Crossing is a solid area to stay.

Thanks! That’s a far cry from people in DMBc that say they feel sorry for us attending. They say that...but somehow I’m still excited. Weird. I must not be a hardcore fan i guess

It's a great experience and anyone who says different has no clue wtf they're talking about. Warren Haynes being there will make for some good shows or at the minimum, great moments.

Have a safe and fun trip Mike!! You will enjoy hell out of it!! If this old guy can pull it off it ought to be a walk in the park for you guys.

Just be prepared to folks to lose their mind if they close with "The Breedz" night 3. I had fun watching people have melt downs.

Have a great trip, Brandon, and make sure to report back. N1 was pretty great. I'd rate it a solid ***3/4 close to a ****

Yes, last night was really good. Drunken Soldier was awesome and the encore was top tier! I want the back half of Last Stop back so bad...but seeing Last Stop is still seeing Last Stop, which still kicks ass even if it’s only one cheek. And Last Stop and I’ll Back You Up in the same show!?!? Crazy!

Band seemed to want to jam last night. A lotta longer, extended or more open songs in the set last night. They even played out and messed around with Two Step instead of just jumping into PNP, of which their transition into PNP was one of the smoothest things I’ve seen them do!

Gorge itself is as breathtaking as you’ve heard. Photos do it 10% the justice. Pit was awesome, had great people around us. And a good show to boot that blended in surprises/lesser played, staples and “got it out the way n1” tunes.

[btpeters]

Big surprise was no member of lettuce guesting last night. Rashawn came out and played w them but nobody came and played w DMB

Anyone watching the Notre Dame game, pretty sure NBC played Bartender while showing Virginia's starters.

NBC and ESPN would do that kind of stuff while cutting to a commercial break from time to time but it’s cool that they did it with UVA’s players.

Journey announced for Deer Creek June 27. So the 19th & 20th for dmb?

[camptravisr]

25 years ago today: DMB at the Vogue in Broadripple. Tickets were $7. o.O

[weller3377]

Lawn pass goes on sale Wednesday. Best deal you can get. $200 (1/2 price from $400 last summer) and access to the lawn for every show of the summer. I used it last year and saw 22 shows out there. I paid less that $20 per ticket for both DMB shows last year. Pretty awesome deal if you live anywhere close

[daveindyman]

^^^^Thanks for the heads up on this.... will keep an eye out for it. So June 19 & 20 are the only dates I've seen mentioned on the boards for Deer Creek thus far. Falls in line with some tours past. Anyone heard anything else?

Just purchased! We live 10 min away. Hoping for a good lineup of shows this summer...that was the only hesitation in purchasing.

[ramiro24]

So is that what we going for as far as dates then?
