The Decision: Boyd Leaving DMB - Page 4 - Antsmarching.org Forums

chadizzy1 · 02-02-2018, 06:31 PM

I don't know much about violin players but surely Dave knows someone who can fill in.

I bet this means setlists will be more repetitive this year, so the new violin player isn't too overloaded with material, if they go that route and get a new one.

Dankguitar · 02-02-2018, 06:32 PM

I have this strong feeling that the band will not replace him and will cancel the tour

uctbcats21 · 02-02-2018, 06:32 PM

Boyd healthy enough to play with Bob Weir last weekend. Either he wanted to leave or Dave wanted him to leave

DeuceStep · 02-02-2018, 06:32 PM

The best to Boyd. End of an era.

simkow42 · 02-02-2018, 06:32 PM

Sucks Boyd was awesome but the band had to have known and guessing they have a guy to replace him? Wonder who it is

Maybe he got an unexpected medical diagnosis. Its horrible, but we have no idea what happened. I am sure Dave will discuss after first song tomorrow night.

Way too many things Boyd did in songs to just leave him out. Surely they have a replacement in mind? Violinist from ZBB?

Borat Sagdiyev · 02-02-2018, 06:34 PM

Too soon to nominate a replacement?

(I'm so sorry. Just looking for a moment of levity in what is a really depressing, and hopefully temporary, announcement.)

cry_minarets458 · 02-02-2018, 06:35 PM

probably some violinist dave met in cuba or south africa. josh bell would be cool but dmb is way under him

smokew11 · 02-02-2018, 06:35 PM

man this is tough news

joeyray34 · 02-02-2018, 06:36 PM

Do I still get my 9 copies of the album if the tour is cancelled?

They tour all summer, not going to happen.

Saw him play multiple times with a dave cover band perfect solution!

sjaltenb · 02-02-2018, 06:38 PM

Just purchased a $1550 Oasis tent at the Gorge. I hope Boyd is OK, but really bad timing. Who knows what the band will do....Sad day for DMB.

unccrombie · 02-02-2018, 06:39 PM

Chalk me up as someone not ok with the current state of the band.

smb41 · 02-02-2018, 06:39 PM

Wow, I don't know what to say. What does this mean for the future of the band? Like many have said, I can't imagine the band without a violin.

It's interesting that BT himself tweeted it out rather than the DMB page - makes me wonder whether this decision was truly just made?

I would almost prefer that the band doesn't hire another violinist - it wouldn't seem right. Maybe Bela will join the band full-time?

scrock25 · 02-02-2018, 06:40 PM

skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

joeyray34 · 02-02-2018, 06:40 PM

A business platinum ticket machine to roll this out via a Boyd tweet after the public on sale on a Friday government bad news dump style tweet is utter bullshit

notorious v.i.g · 02-02-2018, 06:40 PM

Shocked but not surprised if that makes any sense. Seems like years since we've seen the old Boyd. No doubt it leaves a big void in a lot of the material but I actually feel like they will be ok musically. If nothing else it will keep things interestiing. And I actually like what he is doing with crystal garden.

wlperie · 02-02-2018, 06:40 PM

There is no way they will cancel this tour because Boyd is leaving. It's seemed some folks on that stage have wished he'd quit for a long time now.

specialanthony · 02-02-2018, 06:40 PM

Hasn’t been in promo photos including the calendar, which was months back. Makes this all the more shady from a timing perspective.

I mean it's not DMB without a violin- and Jeff came in for Roi, so I would think they would get another player...? Right?

Ugh I don't know. This sucks.

They aren't cancelling the tour. The band has to have known tbis was coming for a while.

It wasn't Boyd's choice.

Itzhak perlmann?

jmkratt · 02-02-2018, 06:43 PM

Wow. Sad, frustrated, angry, worried all at the same time.
