Hello!

Can anyone confirm what time DMB started last night?

Thanks!

[jwehaeDMB]

Wow that's good to know. I would've guessed 8 at the absolute earliest.

With the Hollywood Bowl curfew during the week they have to start a little earlier. If it was the weekend they have until 11pm to play, so they can start a little later on those days.

7:45 on the nose. I took a pic right when the lights went down and just double checked the time stamp.

[Gjimmy]

Thank you sir!

[dmbetc]

If anyone was on the rail near horns, we were the ones in the LA Kings/fire dancer shirts, thanks for being great pit buddies!

Had a blast tonight, being on the rail any show is amazing. Bring on Ann!

[jimmea217]

Good friend's first show. That's how you intro someone to the band. Great album spread and show overall tonight. I love it when you bring someone new and they're blown away. Being at the front of J2 with a full unobstructed view didn't hurt either. I'll be suffering major Davepression after that show!

[Gjimmy]

Great show last night. Orchestra was fun to see again (I had seen them in 2018 as well) and the violinist killed it on Billies. I hadn't realized how much the violin is missing from this lineup til I heard it live again. Everyone was chanting "sign her up!"

[neumdogg]

I will say that was one of the more boring shows I have been to. However, the violinist for Billies was next level.

Agreed think they could have done a broader set of tunes out west and don't really understand with their large catalogue. The playing has been strong but the lack of variety and repeats make me not that excited to think of seeing more than 1 show a year. We will see what happens.

[crazypeople36]

Does anyone happen to have an extra N1 stub that they’d be willing to part with? I sold my single when my wife decided to join me last minute and had electronic TM tickets. That is the only show out of 150 that I am missing a stub for. Thanks in advance!

We got advanced disabled lot passes. Like $14. We were out to the hotel around the corner in 15 min tops both nights.

Played until 10:48.

Started the show way too mellow in my opinion. Some nice little highlights throughout. Completely botched Seek Up, wow

Felt great to be in the pit once again!

If they blew through the curfew, and had to pay a fee, it wouldn't be the first time. Several years back, at the old Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, they had a weekend show that went past the 11:00 PM curfew time.


Maybe I'm wrong about the curfew time, but I know for a fact that the nearby Greek Theater has a 10:30 weeknight curfew, so I assumed Hollywood Bowl was the same.

[mtrovato328]

Sleepy show for a sleepy crowd last night. I did enjoy N1 tho

[dmb41er]

First time at Hollywood Bowl.

N1 plenty of empty seats so we moved around to check out the crowd and sound in different sections. Lots of talking in every section.

N2 might be may favorite pit experience ever. so much fun.

Nothing like walking into pit after 7 and getting rail.

Security said curfew was 11pm but they expected them to finish by 10:30. They split the difference N2.

Sometimes DMB has posters up on their website after the fact, or the artist will sell prints through their websites/social media

N1 very well could end up in the WH store at some point. They had stacks left after the show. N2 was pretty much sold out.

WH early entry was at the field gate (top of the hill). They didn't check WH tickets and let anybody that was lined up at that gate in at about 5:30 and then seemingly let everyone else in at about 5:32 lol

Yeah, we had handicap parking and got in line about 10 back. Good times! That pit is so small and nice.

Here’s a video of Madman’s Eyes from last night for y’all.

Thank you! Definitely one of my favorite DMB live moments ever. I really hope chestercopperpot throws a crazy good edit together soon!

We ended up doing the shuttle...

N1...back in Westwood in no time.

N2...uh....not so much. Either something was wrong with the bus or the driver was impaired (or both). We were going, no joke, 15 MPH in the left lane on the highway for about 15 minutes (there was no traffic whatsoever). Driver refused to pull over. Multiple people on the bus called the cops to have them come and finally get the bus to pull over and get off the highway. Total disaster and the driver was very very unsafe...One of the crazier things I've ever been a part of.

Couldn't agree more. Her guest spots this week were literally the tour highlights for me. She's phenomenal and the band DESPERATELY needs the violin. I love what everyone brings but I would trade Buddy, Rashawn, and/or Tim for her ANY DAY. DMB needs their core 5 instruments and anything else is just extra. She was so good.

[jd1988]

Does anyone have an extra poster from Night 2?

N2 seemed plentiful, I grabbed mine walking out after the show ended.

[karczews41]

One of the least memorable shows I've seen from this band, except Billies w/ violin and its location.
