Re: *** Official Dave and Tim Europe 2017 ***
My notes from Berlin:
You Might Die Trying
Save Me
Dreamgirl
Don't Drink The Water
Crush
Black and Blue Bird
Good start to the show. YMDT is much better as an opener than a closer / encore. I like all of these, including Save Me, Dreamgirl and B&BB, so I thought we were in store for a really good night. Then came this:
Corn Bread
If Only
Worried Man Blues
Courante
Out of My Hands
The Space Between
What an energy drain! By the time they played Space Between, it was not looking too good at that point. But they rebounded in a big way:
Halloween
Warehouse
#41
Muros y Puertas
Two Step
Virginia In The Rain
Halloween was a great surprise. What a great format for that song. Muros y Puertas was also one the highlights for me, and I like VITR, although the mix was bad (much better the night before in Copenhagen). Next up was this, which wasn't bad but not great either:
Manfood
Crash Into Me
Jimi Thing
Grey Street
The encore was a major boost:
Some Devil
Dancing Nancies
Bartender
I haven't been a big fan of Some Devil in the past, but I thought it was excellent last night. Hearing it in a small club was fantastic. Ending with Nancies and Bartender was one of the best encores I have seen from either full band or Dave + Tim.
The songs that got the biggest reaction from the locals were Crash, Crush and Grey St. I'm skipping Vienna and wrapping up with Prague. I wish I could see more of these shows! Nice variety, placement and the shorter format make it fun to see what the sets will look like.
