Nope. It's about the life of a friend of his I believe.

Never really noticed this as much on the famous Seek Up SPAC '01 version before, around 6:15 - 6:30 you can kind of tell Carter and Dave know they have a really good version going

LLD and Two Step from LT37 are two great tracks

Doesn't matter how many times I watch/listen to that, the goosebumps are real.

I heard Tim's second solo song last night in London, which is listed as "unknown title", is actually called "Fuck Trump"... Thank you Tim!

Stefan's tweet just made it pretty much crystal clear that Dave is the reason for the break:

Stefan Lessard Retweeted Trey Tanner
you have the quote wrong. It was a dark political forecast.

Interesting. But I really don't know how serious to take anything he say's anymore.

Dave is the point man obviously. If Carter says yo Dave my back hurts every night he might not tell everyone to say that is THE reason for a break. It was 20yrs....Stefan doesn't give a shit but there are some sad people who send nasty messages to the only band member who engages with fans on twitter (aside from Boyd but he's on Pluto.). I don't understand that at all. In person no way they'd have the balls. Unfollow him if his tweets trig you out jabroni.

Poor Stefan

To be fair though, while he does engage with fans, he kind of gets hopes up, talking about B sides and rarities and nothing ever comes of it. But I guess I'd rather that than no interaction at all. At least if he was off twitter we could think that they are just unaware of what the fans want and thats why it doesn't happen. With him being on twitter, it makes it seem more like what the fans what is being ignored.

He blames the lack of play on the lead man tho. I think he means well

He's publicly blamed Dave for the lack of variety and rare songs?

Not blatantly, but he's said things close to 'not my band, but I tried'

Yes. He's definitely talked about lobbying for playing this or that.

Once after a show when people were sending him nasty tweets about setlists being stale (think in 2014/15) he tweeted a reply at like 3am saying #itsdavesbandandheplayswhateverhewants (paraphrasing but more or less that). He's passively made it clear that he has very little control over the setlists. That said he is the one who at least tries to get Dave to do different shit. Unlike #godis or Mr trumpet who told off a chick on Twitter asking if he goes to her job and tells her what to do. At least Stefan doesn't really give a fuck (negative fans)......He doesn't really. Trumpet is off twitter.

I heard it on the internet, so it must be true!

[TheLastPig]

Just saw someone post in one of the FB groups there is a place called "Firedancer BBQ" somewhere in Arkansas and they use the DMB firedancer as a logo.

Chad I think its up to you to investigate.

http://www.firedancerbbq.com/

[bowa36]

Do it Chad.

[camptravisr]

BBQ place has the slogan Don't Burn the Day... currently watching 6.29.13 copperpot video for the first time. Help Myself is fuckin rock n roll. Amazing with DMB 3.0. Can't believe it hasn't been in heavy rotation with this lineup.

I just watched the performance of Dreamgirl from London. I have never liked the song but holy shit does it transform acoustically. One of the best performances I heard from the two nights

This was posted in another thread but I'm going to post this here.

Yeah it's incredible how many bad sets the band has had since 2005. Definitely some great sets mix in but a whole lot of bad.

Wow 04 really was the last great year.

Since then we have had some decent years

06
08
2010
2011 (the few show that we're played looked pretty solid)
2013

Agree. I thought it was awesome.

What's everyone thinking about the Europe sets so far? I'm waiting to make summer plans until I see how more of these shows pan out.

[dpduke5173]

Hope that Dodo, BOWA, Help Myself, Typical, STJL, Cry Freedom, Raven and Too Much pop back up in Europe.

Pretty tame. A couple cool moments but about 40% of each set so far are songs I dont care to hear.
