Good show. Not the best of set but the tour was just starting off. Great Ants closer

WOW! this show made up for the lackluster nights at the Fleet Center...3 tour debuts in Ants, Two Step and of course One Sweet World. I love OSW w/ Lover Lay Down back to back. Pig sounded much better than Boston where it came off as unrehearsed. The crowd was amazing, possibly the best I've seen in my 30 or so DMB shows! DIDO was great, Crush was great......I wish we didn't get I Did It and The Space Between but hey no show is perfect. I really wasn't expecting much after Boston, but this show was a blast!

This is definitely the best DMB show I have ever been to. They could have just played the last eight songs of the set and I would have been in my glory. But instead they added ten more in the front that made it even better. For starters, Grey Street was fantastic. My first time for IIHIA. I Did It, blah. This was my third time hearing You Never Know in it's first week out. At this show I actually remembered a few of the words from the Boston shows so it was sweet. The crowd went while during the first few notes of Crush. Drive In Drive Out was so upbeat and the band didn't lay down for a second on that one. OSW was a pleasant surprise, but I should have known with all the OSW Ben and Jerry's being advertised all over the entrance of the DD Center. :) Lover Lay Down was so slow and incredible. So Much to Say was a good way to bring the crowd back in after two mellow tunes. And then it began.....Grace Is Gone was soooo touching. Followed by a venue shattering Pig. I thought the show was great up to this point. TSB provided a much needed breather for me as I had heard the song enough on the radio to want to hear it again. BEF with Leroi on the penniwhistle into Bartender was sick. What's interesting is that the band never stopped playing from BEF to Two Step. While the others were fading out of Bartender, you could oh so faintly hear Boyd plucking the first few notes of Two Step. And then it got louder, and after that I have never heard an indoor venue get as loud as that place got at that point when Two Step was noticed. Do I need to mention the encore? Or was the 1st set not enough? Where Are You Going was growing on me at this point. And of course Ants is one of the classic closers. I've always told my friends that I couldn't have drawn up a better setlist myself. But beyond the setlist, the band played so well and so enthusiastically it made it all the more enjoyable.

It was a great all around show. New stuff and old stuff. Closing with Ants made my night. I had seen the band 5 times before and always missed out on Ants, so I was psyched

Wicked pumped to hear Pig. Seeing Dave indoors was weird though. Outdoor shows work better w/DMB. Was kinda tough to breath/see thru the smoke being in the last rows and all.

The boys really made up for the sorta bad shows @ the Fleet. I was sitting behind the stage, but the view was not obstructed (despite what my ticket said) dave and the boys made sure to turn around every now and again to make sure we were all into it...which we were. I have to say this was one of the best crowds i have had the pleasure to be a part of, along with one of the best setlists i've had the pleasure of hearing. Besides the Tweeter Center i think Providence is my favorite place to see a dmb show...great night!

Excellent Show! 1000 times better than the 4-7 show at the Fleet Center. I will never see a show at the Fleet Center again. Horrible Acoustics!

Hellz yeah...I was here. This show kicked ass. A lot of new stuff off the Busted Stuff album, but played a lot of good shit other than that. Halloween wasn't played tho...I was hoping for my favorite song, tho I knew it wouldn't be played. This show was awesome, nonetheless

how did they possibly come up with such a beautiful intro to one sweet world?
it boggles the mind...
we missed about 6 songs, whoops, i drink ok?
walked in to the intro to the above mentioned. flipped out..
decided to try to get down to the floor, imagined a security guard manhandling me and telling me to beat it, no such thing happened..
we got sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo close.. about 11th row. now i have dreams about the dmb so this was surreal.. they closed with two step, bellisima.. and then a wicked awesome ants marching.. god bless 'em.

Nice to see a show up north for a change. Nice to have the distinction of being some of the first to hear Two Step and Ants this tour. Great show, great new songs, and great versions of new old favorites (grey street)!

This show made me feel good. An amazing set list, capped off with great seats (15 rows out, center stage...once again we didn't have tickets for these seats, but no one complained). Two step was a welcome addition to my song collection.

My first Dave show. Incredible. I was with my boyfriend, and my best friend; their first shows as well. It was great to hear Big Eyed Fish, one of my favorites, Two Step, my boyfriend's favorite, and Ants Marching, my best friend's favorite.

Amazing show...I finally heard Pig. YNK is an awesome song. First Ants and Two Step of the tour. Lots of energy and the Dunkin Donuts center is very very small...

Excellent show. The DD Center was crazy and very loud. Lots of energy through the first few songs. OSW and LLD were very mellow. The end of the show was great. BEF-->Bartender was great and they were followed up by the first Two Step of 2002. Butch was amazing on Two Step, the best I've seen him. Ants was a great closer as always.
