4. Dreaming Tree
5. Typical Situation

Swap JTR with YNK and you have my top 5

There was a short clip of Bartender from this show yesterday on DMB Couch Tour which I thought was a great post, decided to see if there was a full video of this show which there is. This show 12/13/02 kicks ass:

Everyday is gonna hit 20 years before we get a 20th anniversary BTCS vinyl repressing

Putting this gripe here because I didn't wanna top a BTCS vinyl thread and get people's hopes up that there was news

Sorry if there’s a thread of its own for this, but anyone watching the texting Power Hour vote thing with Dave and Tessa? “Dave people keep telling you to text Boyd.”

Lol that was me who commented on the live chat saying “text Boyd, Dave. Bring him back!”

Dave then said “I actually texted Boyd’s son” or something similar. Haha

Yes! I heard that haha

Not that this would ever happen but I think it’d be hilarious if at one of the future shows, Buddy just stepped up from behind the keys with a violin and just started shredding on Nancies or something whole crowd would be losing it!

Who knows though? Maybe Buddy picked it up during quarantine

Might either of you fine people be recording this show to share with the rest o us?

I forgot to do this as I was regularly checking my registration directly through my country voter reg portal. This completely slipped my mind...

I wonder if the link can be shared or if it's exclusive and unique to each winner. Regardless, I hope you folks enjoy the show.

I got that too. It was in my solicitations folder so appreciate the heads up or I may have missed it.

[ToySoldier#34]

Dave seems to say "damnit" at the end of BOWA, doesn't look overly happy with something, if it's performance related I can't find what it would be

1. YNK
2. JTR
3. The Dreaming Tree
4. Warehouse
5. Grace is Gone

Cheers to hearing a few of these live next summer

Dave’s (very short) set from the Music for Meals, South African concert thing...

This is fantastic. DotHS needs to return with Buddy. Dave could play a little guitar part like he has now for VItR and it would be sublime.

Great version, I was there. Fucking love this song and Branford. Hope we hear the studio cut one day.

[ToySoldier#34]

Agree with the DotHS love

I was a lot more disappointed that Death on the High Sees wasn't on CT than I was about Bismarck

Dude, same... I do love Bismarck, but Death on the High Seas had so much studio potential. It should’ve been the last track, not When I’m Weary. Some Mark Batson piano riff. A 2 minute track. DOTHS could’ve been in its place at around 5 minutes and the length of the album would’ve still been under 60 min

Bismarck was my main disappointment but DotHS getting cut was 1a.

Would have been a perfect way to end it. That or an extended cut of Black and Blue Bird with the jam.

Lots of things wrong with 2012, but Halloween > Billies encores are one of the best things the band has ever done.

So, because we're down to the Live-Only album survivors, I was looking at the list of songs for each decade and apart from the 2000's and a couple outliers, it kinda works out that the songs that were left as only-live songs weren't put on an album. Especially from the 2010s.

Compare:

2010’s

Be Yourself
Bismarck
Blackjack
Break For It
Clown
Death on the High Seas
Kill the Preacher
The Ocean and the Butterfly
Plastic Girl
Singing from the Windows
Song for Billijo

1990’s

#36
#40
A Thing that Happens
Blue Water
Deed is Done
Doobie Thing
Dreamed I Killed God
Get in Line
Heathcliff’s Haiku Warriors
Hold Me Down
Little Thing
Me and Her
Once on a Wild Afternoon
People People
Richmond Jam
Sister (1994)
Spotlight
Toy Soldiers
Water into Wine

2000’s

#27
A Dream So Real
Break Free
Butterfly
Can’t Stop
Cornbread
Crazy Easy
Eh Hee
Falling off the Roof
Gas into Fire
Good Good Time
Idea of You
I Won’t Give It Away
Joyride
Kill the King
Light Lift Me Up
Loving Wings
Prelude to Grace
Shotgun
Sister
Sugar Will

Apart from Bismarck and DOTHS, and the new ones we're bound to get on whatever the new album ends up being, the 2010's were pretty weak on the live songs.

[crounsa810]

How is it that the band ends up repeating openers so much? The number of songs they have that can open a show is so high, they could probably get at least halfway through a tour without repeating an opener.

It's studio cut was officially released on the European Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King release, you don't call that?

Oooooo good catch. Yeah, I guess that should technically be eliminated

[mquerques92]

Copying something here that I just posted in another thread:

Jimi Thing could be a great part of the set if they switched up the outro throughout the tour instead of sticking to one thing all year. If you didn't know if it would end with FWIW, Sexy MF, Fly Like an Eagle, or some other random one-off, the suspense during that jam would be awesome.

[Speilmen230]

Or... Or... Hear me out... They gave it rest for a few years and it became more of a rarity? Or how about it's a 8-10 min song with a small jam, and then it can go into another DMB song?

[YankeesDMB41]

Carter just turned 62. How many more years of touring do we really have left for anything to become a rarity? If they enjoy playing it, play it,

I’d argue that in comparison to the list from the 90s, there isn’t much there outside of maybe Bluewater and one or two others that are really worth much interest either. Majority of those are little jams, of which Me and Her and #36 developed into album songs, and Little Thing was on Some Devil.

The list from the 2000s is most impressive, however.
