The first time you were frustrated

[TheLastPig]

What is the first moment you distinctly remember being frustrated at a show about something that was being played?

For me it was my 4th show, Blossom 2008.

I also attended the show the night before at Columbus Crew stadium, a mere 2 to 2.5 hours away.
They repeated 11! songs and both shows had the exact same encore of:

Little thing (tease)
Gravedigger
Ants Marching


It's honestly funny to look back on it now, I would've left that show fuming today.

My third show, hearing Thank You close ten days after seeing it in Pittsburgh in 2008. The Thank You dance is only cool to see once. I never, ever need to see Thank You again, in any setting with Dave.

Side of the road...side of the road...side of the road...

This might be the cherry on top of all that was 2009.

7.4.08. My first show without Roi. I went into the show disappointed that my favorite member was on medical leave. Little did anyone know the severity. I remember being happy about BOWA being played, but the whole night was a real downer for me.

Those gorge shows may have been the absolute lowest point in their playing careers

Yea, the whole weekend, show wise, was pretty awful. I sure know how to pick my years. My first (and only) time at Spac was 2010. Woof.

[prdstmnky36]

I forget the exact details, but at some point before or early in the '02 tour, Dave had said (at a show, an interview, i forget), that Last Stop would be played that tour. Well, get thru the whole tour, last shows are the 3 nights at the Gorge...its GOTTA happen! I remember people were so looking forward to it, chants throughout the weekend...and nothing. But in true Dave fashion, what does he do? Liberates it at the tour opener in '03, in Columbus Ohio, lol. I ended up being at that show too, so I got some redemption, but that is the first time I was ever frustrated with something that was played (or not).

[Firedancer627]

One that stands out for me was 6/30/10...Camden

Literally the worst run I can think of in shows I have seen...You and Me, Jimi, Meh Hee, Can't Stop, Corn Bread.

With that said...the next night was freaking awesome.

Yeah I was at 7/1. I've always had good luck with going to n2 shows in Camden...been there three times: 8/8/07, 9/20/09, 7/1/10.

That's all I go to now are night 2's at Camden. 8/8/07 should be released as a LT...great show from start to finish.

[spoot388]

6.4.08 encore

------------
Hey Hey My My (which was played E1 during N1 as well)
Bitch


nobody knew what the hell was going on and couldn't believe they would end a show with an encore of two covers they've never really played before.



other than that, camden N2 is typically one of the best shows of the tour. 2006, 07, 09, 10, 12, and 13 are all great for their respective years.

That was the first trip to the Gorge for my wife and I as well. We left night 1 saying "so this is what everyone makes such a big deal about?!?". And then after being warned about how damn hot it gets there, there is a damn monsoon the next day.

[whyiam34]

Ive always atleast enjoyed my time at shows. Nothing has made me feel wtf so far...time bomb--> cornbread was the closest but that was a night 1. and the other part of the set was good. I have the feeling this summer may be my first disappointment with the whole Be Yourself shit

Dont get me wrong those are all great songs but he could have switched it up a little from the night before. Id think Dave would assume that some people were at the show the previous night.
