Shows You Can Barely Remember

For example, for me the biggest blur are the shows I went to from 2013-2016 as most of them were at Irvine and mostly with the same person. The show I went to with someone else I remember more clearly.

As for memorable moments, after you go to 40+ shows those moments will of course come fewer and farther between because you have 'seen everything'. However, in 2018 I went to my first SPAC show (great crowd), MSG N2 (unique set, a lot of guests) and Mohegan (honestly the best of the 2018 shows I attended) and all three were memorable. Also, I went to Jones Beach and Holmdel - I hate one venue and really liked the other. This is all to say I actually remember 2018 more than any year in a long time simply because it was new venues with a revolving door of people.

Curious about which one you hated?
Certainly not Jones Beach is it? I liked that place.

I honestly hated SPAC and don't remember much about the 2-night run there in 2012.
Remember Dream Girl one night. Remember some nice guests as well.
Good shows, i had fun-- but i enjoyed Jones Beach much better.

Tales from the Crypt for sure. Miss that show.



For DMB, 2003 Columbus - I passed out on the lawn with about 5 songs remaining.

Deer Creek 2014 N1...I was in and out of the electric set. Combination of probable heat stroke and drinking too many $16 tall boys.

I missed the Shake Me encore, though, so it was pretty worth it.

And N2 more than made up for it. Great show and I was dialed in.

I smoked some super silver haze prior to my first show in Amsterdam in 2009. At the end of the show I was just happy I didn't pass out. That would've been a bummer

I can remember most of my shows and I've been drunk and stoned at all of them. There are several shows I wish I was able to forget, though!

I barely remember the Gorge shows from last year. Outside of the 3 songs with Hamilton, I've pretty much blocked them out.

8/25/2007 (and the next night too for that matter)
Alpine Valley

My first DMB shows... A 1.75 of Jameson and a Quarter Oz of Sour D and this boy was in the fog.

I remember bits.....The "king of the castle" line during Crash and Roi's black and green striped shirt, as he flew into #41.

God to be 19 years old again! Seems like a lifetime ago. In alot of ways, I guess it was....

Thought this was "Songs You Can Barely Remember" and mine are Come On x2 and Come Tomorrow. I listened to them during release week and haven't since. I'm trying my best to forget them

Sorry to say I'm not a fan of Jones Beach at all. Impossible to get to during a weekday, the venue's seats are largely not close to the stage vs. how good your ticket is, etc...Also, people say it rains there all the time - certainly rained when all the way up to showtime in 2018. It frankly reminds me of an East Coast version of the Hollywood Bowl - cool venue on paper but the reality of seeing a show there isn't so great.

The SPAC crowd I was with was phenomenal and the venue is in a cool area. The issue with SPAC is getting a good seat - not sure how it works seeing a show there from the Lawn.

We found a great spot on the lawn that was basically the same as having a back row, actually some friends of ours who had seats night one stood with us night two because of how good our lawn spot was. You definitely need to get in on the earlier side to secure a good lawn spot, but it's possible. It helps to be in a larger group too because you can hold down a larger area.

Camden '05. I was only 10, but no recollection whatsoever. I remember Camden '04 and MSG '05 though.
