They play it well. No one can take that from them. It is just played WAY too much.

[zrroot]

Still not over them playing Sledgehammer instead of bowa to open the encore n2 at spac last year

[Matt83]

Riff that bitch up, Timmy!

[haiku.warrior]

Sledgehammer makes a nice E1 imo

Yeah, it's one of those situations that really sucks but also I can't really be upset either.

Thanks. Back around Christmas he told me he had a few little mini seizures sporadically but he was getting them checked out. I never heard more so I just kinda forgot about them/figured they subsided/nothing to worry about but then yesterday my sister texted me that she had to grab the steering wheel while they were doing 55 and now I'm concerned. He and I have never really had the best relationship (nothing bad, but not super close like I wish we were either). When he divorced my mom a few years back it really strained things and now over the past week+ he's been making a huge effort to see me and on Father's Day he said he feels bad, he doesn't feel like he's part of my life. So now I'm worried if he knows something that I don't RE: his health and he's trying to right things while he can.

That got a little rambly and deep/personal there. Onto the Yanks.

Shit dude, from the fall? Or from the sickness? Keep me posted, I hope things get better for you soon. But I'm real relieved to hear at least you're up and moving around. That's great news.

It was fun. I just wish he didn't mumble his improv lyrics all the damn time.

At least it never ended up closing a plethora of shows like Thank You did.

"oh, come on. That things gotta be better than first impression."

Big heaping scoops of nope there.

This is true! Though, singing Thank You while walking back to the Boardwalk in Atlantic City from Bader Field after night three of the caravan is a cherished memory.



I could have structured that sentence better but you get the point.

[haiku.warrior]

its called



sssshhhheeeee

[Matt83]

That was certainly an intro. Da fuck.

[haiku.warrior]

She is a top 5 CT song

fair enough .... we'll be in touch about the other stuff, hope everything with your dad goes well!



We're getting drinks next time we're at the same show

[haiku.warrior]

everything they say the word "ju-ju" i lose a brain cell

cringiest thing ever to hear grownass men saying a slang term that hasnt been used seriously for a decade

[ToySoldier#34]

I really dig this song instrumentally and where Dave's voice sits in it, second half of the chorus is rough lyrically

[daveshookme]

In no order

Stone
Halloween
Last Stop

Dreaming Tree
Toy Soldiers
ABC
She
Typical
#34
SMLAM

Probably my top 10 right now?

Just went back to my top 10 list from 2014 (this list is ordered). Not much of a difference? But I forgot about Pig dammit

Dreaming Tree
Stone
Pig
Warehouse
Halloween
Last Stop
Crush
#34
Gaucho
Die Trying

[karczews41]

She is a song along with Satellite that if they never play again I'd be completely fine with.

[haiku.warrior]

Tim is great on this one
Again with the point I brought up early with Buddy, stop using these unnecessary special effects
this is a DMB concert, not a rave. there shouldnt be synthesizer

That was a fantastic memory. it seemed like it would never end.

And then I got lost in one of the casinos trying to find our car

Agreed with your first point. It just sounds great. Lyrically, it could use some work, but the lyrics just aren't the focal point of the song to me. I can overlook it.

I'm hoping for SPAC and Gorge, pretty sure it's more difficult to get good SPAC tickets than to conceive a child but I'll be trying

[daveshookme]

I always, always, always want an Ants intro fake to Halloween.

Ideally

Ants [fake]>>
Halloween [fake]>>
Tripping Billies>>
Halloween>>
Ants

I just lucked out, somebody posted in SPAC thread tonight they were selling their single pavs, one each night. I scooped them up as soon as I got the notification there was a new post

[haiku.warrior]

My ideal set closer run

Exodus ->
Anyone Seen The Bridge? ->
Halloween ->
Billies (fake) ->
Ants (first verse) ->
Billies

or alternatively

Proudest ->
Big Eyed Fish ->
Blue Water ->
Nancies ->
Little Thing ->
Warehouse

Very difficult to argue against that.

#40
Granny >>
Watchtower>>
Halloween was solid though

Also, your sig
