Hi all, hope all has been good around here. Thrilled about the D&T tour, didn't know if i'd ever get a chance to see them. Traveling to the Chicago shows with my girlfriend - 300s on the side for N1, 200s thru WH for N2!

I was apprehensive about lawn for a D&T show, especially after seeing all the negative reviews of the Northerly Island lawn. I read an article that LiveNation refunded thousands of tickets to lawn concert-goers at Jimmy Buffet a few years ago due to a large volume of complaints of how muddy it was and how bad the sound was. Happy to be pavilion, though we'll see how those 300s on the side end up.

Glad to have another year of Dave Matthews!

It gives me a big headache just thinking about Northerly Island.

[ramiro24]

ok these 3 shows are pretty damn good.

Help Myself with the big return. fuck yes, i kinda am excited now for the summer. I thought i would be burnt out honestly.

[btpeters]

I would have been extremely satisfied had I gone to this getaway. Probably would have been content to take the summer off even.

[ramiro24]

Just so expensive to have gone to this, woulda been worth every penny Im sure though.

Ill be content with my two shows and maybe adding a 3rd depending how things go.

[btpeters]

I think the key is...

Go see you some shows. Don't overdo it, but go see you some shows.

[IndyDMB]

Hope they announce a second leg, as i currently have zero tickets.

[twostepping]

I am also currently at the zero ticket mark. Bad timing and bad locations.

Pretty damn strong showing each night.

N1 looks fairly above average, a couple good runs (Minarets/Stone, Oh/Jimi/Two Step/WWYS/Ants) with a few lulls.

N2 sees Dodo, BOWA, and Fool to Think in a row, plus the first D&T Rooftop. 6 songs in and you've already got those under your belt... and the rest of the show looks pretty great, including finishing with Rapunzel

N3 the almanac has it summed up best:

First time The Song That Jane Likes has been played by Dave & Tim since 3.14.99.
First time Raven has been played by Dave & Tim since 7.15.12.
First time Dive In has been played by Dave & Tim since 11.18.11.
First time Help Myself has been played since 6.29.13 and first time by Dave & Tim since 12.9.10.
First time Tripping Billies has been played as a closer at a Dave & Tim show since 1.20.99.
First time Stay (Wasting Time) has been by Dave & Tim since 3.13.99 and first ever time in the encore at a Dave & Tim show.

Plus a new cover each night (I really like Worried Man Blues). I'd probably give the 3 night stand a solid A.

[btpeters]

The first night was rather pedestrian and I think what most people expected of the D&T (Really solid show though, given) but the next 2 nights was really an eclectic mix of dusting off some tunes, taking chances on ones they hadn't tackled before, new covers, standards, staples, classics and even a new song. The things people are begging and looking for not just Dave & Tim, but full band for that matter.

I really don't understand how people can be "meh" after N2 and N3. No wonder Dave just says fuck it and plays what he wants. Personally, I'm much more optimistic after the Mexico shows than the 2 Texas ones.

A set like this is just not going to happen

But some people seem to think so. Dude has wrote songs since 2000, he's going to/wants to/has every right to play them.

[sean52692]

If you break it down, I think at this point in time he's written more songs post 2000 anyway.

I agree, and I was at both Texas shows. Both shows were a great time, but setlist wise they didn't have the wow factor.

I have a ticket to each night in Chicago. I was thinking of only hitting one, but I think I am going to try to hit both.

Northerly Island lawn is a shithole. I would only ever go back if I had seats. Terrible venue.

[twostepping]

I would only do Northerly Island if I got free seats.

It's about time for Farm Aid to return to Deer Creek.

Good point!

[jmc419]

Deer Creek farm aid would be great

Northerly sucks donkey nuts.

I invited you to my main one. I can run a Deer Creek one also if people are interested.

[rlpi100]

What's up creek. Still ticketless for D&T, as I can't decide if I even want to go to Northerly Island.

Got decent Metallica tickets, which 16 year old Nines is pumped about. Anyone else going?

I am also ticketless as no one has offered to pay me to go to Northerly Island yet. My brother once went to see Metallica but left before they came on stage. His girlfriend was mad that Limp Bizkit had been booed off stage so she made him leave.

[btpeters]

I'll be both nights in Nashville. Just got my N1 tickets this week thanks to an awesome ant on here.

Never been to Northerly Island, don't see myself ever going.

Haven't seen Metallica before, but i've heard nothing but good things about their shows.

[sean52692]

I have DTE and Blossom tickets, but no Northerly Island tickets (yet).

[btpeters]

I want to go to Blossom really bad. But that's a complete wait and see. I'm grateful enough to be doing just the 2 nights at Nashville.

[twostepping]

I was 50/50 on Nashville.
Buying a house next week. So too much on my plate for a little bit.

I've currently got 2 mortgages and i'm getting laid off from my job on April 4th (With a severance package)...I shouldn't be going...buuuuuut...i am.

Already had my tickets, plus with Hotels.com gift cards for a health assessment from my insurance the stay is free...so its a lightened load.

There was no way I was buying a house without selling the first one.

Hopefully it works out ok for you.
