***Official Pilgrimage Festival 2021 (Franklin, TN)***

I can't believe an image of the poster hasn't leaked yet. I want to see it and see how early I need to get there tomorrow if it is cool looking.

Good first day - little hotter than expected but once the sun went down it felt great if not a little chilly. Lines made me nervous trying to get in. They were backed up all the way to the road but we ended up getting in less than 20 minutes. It moved fast. They actually checked our vaccine passports. Compared it to our IDs and everything.

Marcus King Band was hands down my favorite of the day. Keys kinda lost the crowd with the Delta Kream mini-set, but still a good show.

North Lot was worth the extra money to park. Stayed till the end of Keys and was out in less than 10 min. Tomorrow should be an excellent day. Morgan Wade, Khruangbin, Black Pumas, DMB. Very excited.

On the shuttle bus headed down now! Looking forward to this.

Marcus King absolutely killed it. By far my favorite show of the day

$100 for a 2-day pass. They sold out more than a month ago.

Another great day so far. Grabbed a poster and checking out the main stage

Tank and the Bangas…infectious grooves and frontwoman! Perfect festival vibes.

They were awesome. We were grooving up here on the hill. Plan on exploring their music more in the next couple of days. DMB should have them out to the Gorge IMO

They definitely grew on me as they kept playing. Great festival vibe. Really enjoyed Jamestown Revival too.

[morecornbread!!]

Dave coming out with Black Pumas was awesome. Love it!

[jets42689]

Is there an official stream for this?

[specialkd24]

I knew this was going to be radio/cover heavy ... it was what it was, but they had great energy. And after going 2 years without seeing them until August, I'm never passing up a chance to go (especially 12 miles from my house).

We took my 7-year old since he was free ... he wants to take up drum lessons and said Carter is his favorite! He said he had a good time. We got a poster that I'm going to frame for him when he gets older, and hope he appreciates it one day.

Making memories…that’s what it’s all about!

[T_Train]

Added this show last minute.

Phew that was abysmal.

[WidespreadMule3]

Set was expected. But the energy was great. Lots of fun. Glad to see them again.

[Hahninator]

Had a good time. Festival set of course but still, always good to see them. Sun was brutal during the day, really hot. DMB took the stage the sminute the sun set which was awesome.

Met up with WidespreadMule3 and taped the show. Great guy, good seeing you.

We totally avoided a Shake Me-style closer with Dave giving that speech and deciding to stay on stage for the encore break and play the longer song.

[T_Train]

Oh yeah good meeting you Mule! Let’s hit up some YEMSG asap haha

[Hahninator]

Tape is up! https://dreamingtree.org/torrents.php?id=4225

Almost afraid to ask but what was the little speech?

[clintmwells]

He said instead of going off stage and wasting time for an encore they were just going to stay up there and play another song. The crowd loved it.

Hell yeah man! We'll have to do it again. That was fun.

Great Watchtower too!

[WidespreadMule3]

I scanned through my tape last night. First take was pretty good. Will need some work in post. Hope to have it done tonight. Should have two sources for this show.

Festival review from The Tennessean newspaper: "Was this entire weekend-spanning festival, at its core, a Dave Matthews Band concert with several dozen opening acts?"

Dead. I love that

Great weekend, glad I could add this show and sleep in my own bed. 10 repeats from Railbird's also 15 song set which honestly surprised me.

Band is definitely in their midtour groove.

Till 2022.

[anklebunker]

So DMB's facebook page posted the backstage photos by Rene, and there's one of Dave writing the setlist. Not uncommon that they include a shot like this, but it's always interesting to try and decipher what could have been on the setlist. Attached is the original image, and a zoomed-in / rotated one of the setlist.

It gets a bit grainy as you zoom in, but this is what I think I see:

So Right / What You Are
Can’t Stop

So Much
Too Much
That Girl Is You
Why I Am
XXX X XXX XXX Jimi
You and Me XX Thing
XXXX XX (maybe this is Grey St also, but he re-thought it and instead moved it down to be near the end of the set?)


Grey St
Everyday
Ants

Sounds great, sir! Thanks again.

[UrsadonDMB]

Knew it was a longshot but was praying for What You Are. Nice to know it had a blip on the radar.

[wvufan2010]

That was my first time seeing DMB in a festival setting. Wasn’t planning on going to the festival but decided last minute to try and do day 2, so we just drove an hour and a half to see the second day of shows. Knew what to expect from a festival show so I had zero expectations, just hoped for more good than bad. I had an absolute blast. I loved the setup and everything was organized in such a way that I plan on attending annually now regardless of the lineup.

Also grabbed a spot on the hill towards the back, and that was my first show experience surrounded by people just chilling in lawn chairs and enjoying the music. First time I’ve ever been able to sit during an entire show and actually relax while watching a show. Being up closer in the midst of everything is fun and all, but it’s nice to just hang back and take it easy every now and then. Had a great time, and loved hearing a stop-time Warehouse intro for the first time in years. Also, more mid-set Jimi Thing, please! It’s amazing how much better that song fits in the first half of a show than as a set closer or the last 2-3 songs.
