Re: Share your unpopular DMB opinions.

I'll never go floor reserved. You're not on an incline like you would be in the bowl so if you got someone taller than you're screwed. At least in lower bowl it's tiered so you stand a chance of seeing over someone taller than you.

    Agreed. I'll never understand the appeal of being on the floor in seats like that.


    Pit or even GA Floor, I get, but reserved floor? No deal.

    I'm not sure if this is unpopular, but Wrigley is a terrible release. The band, IMO, sounds terrible. Everything is played way too fast and Tim is beyond overpowering.

    I still think LT 15 is the worst release thus far.

    I want Boyd to come back . I think he is good more often than he is bad (playing wise ). I think someone in the crew must have a vendetta against him and that is why he's being muted . The band was being kept in the dark and when they heard audio from their shows he was always patched back in . For example listen to the Vic Firth carter Beauford bismark video on YouTube , you can clearly hear Boyd

    The band setup should be

    Dave , Tim on acoustic , buddy , Jeff , Boyd , Carter , and Stefan

    I liked BW a lot when it first came out (prob bc it was better than Stand Up) but it's fallen behind other albums in the decade since

    I do love Some Devil too. Never gets enough love. Also, I really wish this band wouldn't have ignored Bismarck like it was some song to throw in the trash. It's a shame that Bismarck doesn't get played anymore

    Re: Share your unpopular DMB opinions.

    I’m an "old" fan (following the band since 98, I was 15 years old), and I still think Everyday is a good/guilty pleasure album.
    It was a treason at the time, but I always thought they succeeded in this kind of pop-rock sound they were chasing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s miles away from The Big 3 and tLS, but it’s highly enjoyable. Much more than their last albums.
    I was thinking "They’re still making music with this Batson douchebag, Why not bring Ballard back (and burn the fanbase!), at this point". But in so many ways, sound wise, Cavallo is their new Ballard. Cavallo is a great mid point between old DMB quality (the musicianship that lacked in Everyday) and the pop-rock Ballard sound.

    Even more unpopular opinion : I like Mother Father. It’s full of energy, Santana is great, it’s very naive without being childish. English is not my first langage, so I can be very selective with the lyrics I choose to hear. The most important thing, most of the time, is the flow and the melody (most of the time, cause things like "I’m like a junkie for you baby" makes me cringe...)

    Sleep to Dream Her is an excellent song, and with a better producer it could have been a top tier studio cut.

    Doesn't mean it necessarily works live (though I enjoyed it the last time I saw it), but Roi did some great work on the track.

    Roi’s melody and Dave’s guitar work make it a beautiful and unique song. If it wasn’t for Ballard/Everyday, I think fans would be much more appreciative of that tune. It’s a gem in my book

    I didn’t say worst song ever, just overrated. My reasoning: same 5 second riff (I timed it) over and over for 4-5 minutes without set lyrics or any (known) attempt to arrange some contrasting musical section. But it is high energy and in 2000 before ATVs and dirty socks it wasn’t bad. Everything else on LWS is better and more musically interesting.

    The one time I heard it live, it was sensational. Roi and Rashawn were wonderful.

    Honestly, the studio cut is a fine track.

    I want Boyd to come back, but only as a guest on his important songs. I don't like watching him stand there on the more recent material not doing anything. Just keep him backstage, and then unleash him for the big moments like Nancies, LIOG, Crush etc. Boyd's energy/crowd taunting during those solos is something that I would say is almost essential to DMB shows.

    It's a good song, but it's also a cover. I always skip it when I'm listening to Central Park.

    As a huge Neil Young fan, I love the song. Then a favorite artist/band cover a song from any other artist/band I love is usually awesome.

    Cortez was great at MSG, but it did go on too long for my liking...not unlike the opener of Seek Up on N1. Always love Seek Up, but I don't really need a 19 minute version. Cut it to 14 and we can get another song while still enjoying a nice long jam.

    My unpopular opinion is that the jams go on too long. I'd like to hear more songs, so cutting back to 15 minutes to 10 minutes and giving us a couple of more tunes is preferable... This is an unpopular opinion in my household.
