Here are your choices...

1. Hang out/Tailgate/Etc all day and be in seats for the first 8 songs but have to leave for an emergency after Sledgehammer... or

2. Stuck in traffic or whatever,arrive to hear all of DDTW and get to enjoy the rest of the show

Look at tour schedule.

See there is a DC show.

Look up past setlists for DC area shows.

Don't buy tickets to DC show.

Set watch/periscope watch DC show.

Go to bed satisfied about your informed decision not to attend DC show.

I mean, at least they got YNK and Christmas Song. Those are 2 songs that some people might go forever seeing DMB and never catch in this day and age. Manchester got BOWA...but that's one that I imagine if you keep going to your home venue ever year or enough shows, you'll run into it at least once or twice nowadays.

Yeah, at this point, getting YNK and Xmas was a huge deal for me. Nancies-Warehouse, Seek Up, and Rapunzel are always welcome. Even though the rest of the set was pretty bad, it's pretty much what I go into DMB shows expecting nowadays. So to hear two amazing songs like that I'll probably never catch again... well worth it.

Happened to me on 7/25/15 (Alpine N1). Ex-wife had just had surgery, but was cleared to travel. We hung out in Milwaukee that day with a buddy of mine, got to Alpine in time to get into our seats before the first song started, and then during Be Yourself, her stitches popped and we spent the night in the ER.

I missed that really awesome Captain with the break and then reprise. I was setlist watching a show I was supposed to be at while sitting in the ER.

Option 2 because I would rather deal with traffic than an emergency.
