    I voted no because I'd rather not. I usually don't listen to DMB at all for like a month or so before any shows we are going to attend. I won't watch or look at set lists, either.

    What if it's a music festival, and you're planning on seeing another band in the same time slot? Hipster-style irony FTMFW.

    I'm a little bit different. I listen non-stop to DMB in the weeks leading up to the show, then listen to non-DMB music on my IPOD during the actual DMB show.

    I don't think wearing previous tour shirts is that dorky. It's wearing a shirt from that show/tour that's dorky. Krishna.

    Re: Do you listen to DMB before a DMB show?

    My general rule of thumb (for any band) is I don't listen for at least 24 hours before I see them. Ideally, I cut myself off a week ahead of the show, but that's rare, and it's usually only 24-48 hours. The only time I make an exception is if I'm taking someone to a show and they're not familiar with the band, then I'll play them some songs beforehand.

    We generally do not, but I certainly don't have anything against those that do.

    You can't help but listen to DMB before a show. If you arrive early, it's playing everywhere.

    there are not many days I go without listening to a little DMB... i typically will blast DMB on the way to the venue after going out to dinner before the show.

    I try to only listen to rare songs that we likely won't hear during the show. Blue Water, Let You Down, Crazy Easy, etc. That way, the live songs are still fresh for the day and not tainted by hearing them earlier at the tailgate.

    Re: Do you listen to DMB before a DMB show?

    I avoid it in the week before a show, so the music sounds fresh. Especially during tour season, I'm listening to DMB every day, often new shows, so I want it to sound new again when I hear it at a show. I don't mind listening during tailgate, since it's not actively listening.
    The only exception is if DMB debuts a new song, I want to hear it before I'm at the show
