I don't know where this attitude of "make DMB great again" comes from.

    If you feel this way, then don't follow the sets for every single show you don't attend. Easy fix.

    But that wouldnt have fixed it. I went to 6 shows. 3 of them were great, but they still carried more overlap than any of the previous 9 years Ive seen this band.

    I can get onboard with the bolded above.

    My unpopular opinion is my strong hatred/dislike for #41. Next song please...

    I like the tune, but I've been getting it at pretty much every show I've been to since about 2010. I'm at the point now where as soon as it starts, I take it as an opportunity to use the can and catch the jam towards the end.

    I've never been a big fan of Too Much. It hits a little too close to home for me, personally.

    Yes! If I need to use the bathroom even in the slightest, I go right at the beginning of #41. The crowds are usually rushing back to their seats and you can stroll right in to a bathroom.

    Agree with the dislike for #41. I've tired many times to get into it but it just does nothing for me.

    I've always thought #41, Dreaming Tree and Two Step were overrated, but still above average songs. Here's some other songs I feel are overrated: Fool To Think, So Right, Sugar Will, You & Me

    Underrated List: Busted Stuff, YMDT, Raven, BEF.

    Re: Share your unpopular DMB opinions.

    I was just having a convo with a friend who is a very casual fan, has seen them once in concert and DDTW came on and i said.

    "you know i wouldnt mind if they didnt play that for a while just cause ive heard it so much"

    his response was amazing,

    " you know there will be a day when they are done touring, and you will wish you could go back and here DDTW again..."

    I thought about that and it makes a ton of sense, is every song my favorite...no, but there is going to be a day where i wish i didnt get mad he didnt play dodo, or last stop, and wish i could hear DDTW or Jimi one more time...point being i think we should just all enjoy the band we love and whatever they play be thankful we were there...just sayin...

    I have that same mantra with Phish because, well they did quit, and now that they've been back I treasure every show I get to go to. Aside from song repeats (not that it's anything new) DMB has too many songs people consider either "duds" or "setlist" killers. I just go to enjoy the show and don't compare them to anything other than shows I've seen before. I don't go to more than say, 2 shows a year, so I don't care what they've been playing all tour because I'm not seeing every show or downloading every show.

    If you be at a show you love then love the one you're at...?

    I'm in the same boat, I wouldn't be sad if I never heard DDTW again live. It is SOOOOO overplayed, but I also agree with your second point. I've been seeing DMB live for 22 years, and there is hardly a day that goes by that I don't listen to something of theirs. But I will definitely be sad when the whole thing comes to an end. They definitely aren't the same band that they used to be; you don't go to shows anymore and think that it's going to be something totally different than any other show that you've seen. But they are by far my favorite band of all time and knowing that one day we will never get to see them again is a huge bummer. **price is right losing horn**

    lol! It's true, though. I watched the Cream: Live at Royal Albert Hall DVD from 2005 and thought, "wow - never again." No Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker can't play anymore and Eric Clapton's voice is shot. There will come a day..

    I have loved seeing Death on The High Seas this year. Also I was happy to knock Out of My Hands off my list of unheard songs.

    I've thought about that with Pink Floyd. I was lucky enough to see them in 93, but man I was bummed that they never got back together and toured again.

    Yep, different strokes for different folks. I used to enjoy #41 a lot, but it's just not the same anymore. Hard for me to explain. It's just bland in my opinion.

    It's my favorite DMB song. However, I just listened to the album version the other day, and the current version is missing that plucky acoustic line that I feel so deeply in love with.

    I do like it wedged between Say Goodbye and Billies like it was mid-set tonight. If I have to have #41, there's a way.

    I'd change my name to DSims3 to match my Twitter if I could, but Ants won't allow it
    You and me both I grew up with season tickets living in East Aurora and now live in Raleigh, NC. My two passions, DMB and the Sabres, gotta love it
