Live Trax Vol. 62: Blossom Music Center 6.25.2010

[haiku.warrior]

buying the vinyl and the pennant just to have them but yikes. terrible choice with even worse merch options. unbelievable

[Xcacel]

So disappointing

[Whiteyxc514]

What a lame release. I think I’m honestly starting to get sick of this band. They don’t even try to do interesting things.

[blumathu]

Strange pick, but I actually got a meet and greet with Dave at this show so it's special to me. I will be getting some of this merch for that reason.

I can understand why others wouldn't be into it though. Certainly an odd choice.

I guess they went for the Ohio state theme even though blossom is much closer to Cleveland than Columbus. They’ve never played any stadiums in Ohio.

Ordered the foil poster, CD, and black shirt. This show holds a special place in my heart (first show on the rail), so it was an instant pre-order for me, but I can see why a lot of people would pass. This show does have the best extended So Damn Lucky encore closer.

[RSSR]

If Alligator Pie was played at this show, that would be a starting point for me. Otherwise Little Red Bird is all I have to get excited about. I don't know if I want this, might still buy to complete my LT collection.

it's actually 7/14/10 but okay

[Fpuonpko]

Why are people complaining about the merch? A lot of them look pretty cool? The vinyl is even nice looking. the show itself is another story, nothing special lol But the posters, merch, etc. all seem pretty sweet.

[Fpuonpko]

The show night before in 2010 would have even been nicer and still midwest - Michigan >>>> Ohio

I've heard that one. I prefer this one.

[TSTJL40]

Pumped for this Can’t Stop

[Dannyyankou]

They say in the show description that they picked this because of the segues. I couldn't care less about segues, we want good songs.

[mquerques92]

Really seems like they're just going out of their way to make the cover art a fuck you to Boyd at this point. How many wide angles with just the one end of the stage missing have there been now?

In 2009, after a solid year of touring in support of Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, DMB had no intention of slowing down. The band traversed both Europe and the US in 2010. This setlist from the band’s eleventh visit to Blossom Music Center stands apart from all other 2010 releases with its segues, teases and reprises. It is anything but straightforward and definitely a fun listen from top to bottom.

The only teases being Cornbread stuck between a Stand Up partial and a Recently partial, and a three-second Eh Hee tease.

And I'm not seeing a single reprise, unless I'm blind...

Who writes these?

They did Cornbread again later.

Not liking the show is one thing, but the merch options are fantastic.

If you count the old Crew Stadium and Huntington Park, they’ve played stadiums in Ohio.

[Hilly]

Pretty excited for this one! Can't wait for the vinyl to show up!

[DMBlunts]

So this is their holiday 2022 release and this is what we get? Wow, just stunning on so many (bad) levels.

I guess if you live in Ohio or are from Ohio this would be remotely appealing to you, otherwise who cares. Poster is garbage btw.

I have just about everything DMB has put out on vinyl sans for 2 things...and this is looking more and more like a pass to me.

DMB Europe 2009 is much better from the same era. Hell, LT 35 is far better than this.

I just perused the 2010 tour lineup on almanac and saw 5 shows in 2 minutes that blow flush this turd straight to hell.

[LetYouDown22]

My wait for a Winter 2000 show continues. I support a lot of releases but have to pass on this one….and I love vinyl LTs.

[crashintonickdm]

2023 is coming so does this mean CP remastered?

[crashintonickdm]

That said, I’ll order for vinyl and I’ll listen but there’s just no reason for such a show.

[BTBaboon]

The Merch options are cool if you live in Ohio I guess. For everyone else, I'm not sure people want to have some other state plastered on my chest.

Show is okay. Really wasn't something anyone was clamoring for. And real weird pick for the holiday release and for a vinyl release.

[ToySoldier#34]

I'm sure it's probably fine if you reaaaaaally like Tim with terrible tone

I really hope the poor sales don’t deter them from future vinyl releases

[somuchtoplay]

I wish they would just make every show they have recorded available digitally and then make the Live Trax designation for shows that they want to physically release on Vinyl/CD etc.

[jssmith6]

I might get the shirt and the shirt only; the LT is not worth the additional $4.99. At least the shirts don't have the date of the show.

It'll probably still sell out, but might take awhile

[jarguitar86]

This shit is so frustrating. DMB has put on some great shows and sets, this is unnecessary. Just the writeup of it alone is their way of saying "Here's another vinyl to shut you up. We'll save the good shows for, oh I dunno, never."
