Since #41 is my favorite song and I've never seen it live, having them freaking open with this was just an indication of the night to come! PHENOMENAL. That is all I can say. Totally kick-ass, amazing night.

This was my first DMB concert...although I didn't know many of the songs at the time, it turned me on to the awesome musicality of this group.

Review:
I couldn't believe the enthusiasm that was at this show. The tailgating was amazing and everyones moral was high.
I was a little disappointed that they played so much of standup due to the fact that I hadn't listened to very much, and as many dmb fans have said "it hadn't grown on me yet".
Overall a good show

Everyday with the 36 outtro was great... I really like Steady as We Go and was glad to hear it. LIOG was amazing... and a 41 opener? Just awesome.

Wow! It was a great show. The new songs live are great! Better then I expected. #41, Lie in our graves and Warehouse all in one show...Not to mention Watchtower. The energy from the band was superb! I think the coolest part was walking out of the show to the car though. You could hear a hoking noise in the distance. I just thought it was an ambulance then the tour buses rolled right past everyone. Dave was in the front of one of the buses just chilin' looking at all the people walking out with a huge smile on his face. Do you think it ever gets old to think, Man all these people came to see us play music? What a life!

terrific show - the stand up material was amazing live, opening with #41 was unexpected and great to hear - lots of energy from the band tonight, saw leroi for a minute before the show and he waved to us from his little golf cart - all in all a great night

Great Show....LIOG was the highlight of the show for me. Watchtower was awesome as well. The Band had a lot of energy during this show.

Review:
#41 was great with roi taking a longer solo than late, a hint of listener supported. LIOG was the song of the night, boyd & butch were on. bayou and die trying were the best of the new ones. roi & carter tore up the end of american baby, and carter took a nice solo in the middle of stand up. warehouse to close was a nice surprise.

I was super excited that dave opened this show with #41. It is one of my favorite songs, and it only took going to 6 concerts for me to see! All of the stuff from Stand Up was really good. Overall, this was an excellent show! :)

Never been to PGP before- wanted to go to a venue similar to Alpine Valley, WI, as I'm from the Chicago area and couldn't make the Alpine show this year. PGP is a great venue as it's not super crowded; however, ambience just isn't quite the same as Alpine. Area camping is good though. Favorite song was "Lie in Our Graves"; way too much off of "Stand Up" though.

User: dmbtwostep41
Review:
Once again the DMB rolls into Burgettstown and puts on a great show! Fantastic energy from the band and from the crowd! #41 as an opener was the gem for me, Granny and Everyday were solid. Lie in Our Graves was tight. New songs sound better live than the album, solid groove for most of those songs. Warehouse was a great way to close out the night, looking forward to seeing the lights and the band up close, 6th row for tomorrow!!! I hope we get another great show!!! ~.~Turns out not where but who you're with that really matters~.~ Thanks for another memorable evening to the lovely lady who's always by my side at shows, can't imagine enjoying one without you there!!!

Perfect set list for a perfect night- big party before the show in the parking lot. Lie in our Graves was the highlight- it was so \"on\" that it brought tears to my eyes - they were so into it, trading solos through the song - just made me wish I could put that minute in a bottle and bring it out every time I needed a boost - kind of a DMB Red Bull.

Seven hour drive to the show and seven back home all in the same day/night/day (not worth it).
Granny and Watchtower were the clear highlights. "Hunger" is embarrasing and I wish the fans who like it would STOP GOING TO SHOWS.

Review:
341 was an opener was awesome. i think that LIOG was awesome and Out of My Hands was amazing. It could only have been better if they let Dave play the Guitar. SOme good Dave speak about wet jeans before the show when he was introducing Jurassic 5. He also talked about crossing lots of bridges in Pittsburgh. Great show.

#41 opener and warehouse encore, unheard of. I was afraid that this tour wasn't going to be as good as those in the past but once again the band proved me wrong. Even the songs I'm not crazy about from the new album were great live. This band amazes me.....

thought i could get a ticket in the parking lot before the show. my sister found one on the drive in and i couldn't. what did i do? listened from the parking lot and got completely smashed. passed out about 15 minutes after my sister and friends got back to the car. little over a 6 pack just during the show and 1 fatty and a bowl all by myself. from the back of the parking lot the show didn't sound too bad...my state of mind might have had something to do with it though.

Good show. The new songs are even better live, and the band really seemed to be enjoying themselves again. I think they've really pulled out of the rut they've been in for the last few years.

Excellent show, the first I have ever been to. Better than the next night. The energy was amazing, maybe better than any show I have been to since. The opener, #41, blew me away. If you have a chance to see Dave in Burgettstown, take it. The venue is great. I camped out for 3 nights with my friends at Bennet Acres, as it is a 7 hour drive from home. It was an experience without comparison.

What a great show. Nothing surprising really about it. Was great to hear #41 as an opener. Haven't heard #41 full band since my first show exactly 4 years to the day of night 1 at Star Lake. Finally heard Everyday full band and Watchtower the DMB way not the DMB with Neil Young way from VFC. A good start to a fun filled 2 weeks of DMB.

This was my 10th show, and wow it was an awesome show. #41!!!!!!!! to open (my first time hearing it), So much energy in all the new songs, Boyd jammed the shit out of LIOG, Watchtower to close was amazing and the encore with Steady As We Go and Warehouse capped a terrific show.
User: TrippingPhilies
Review:
Solid show. My Warehouse seats were not the best, and I didn't get a good view of the new lighting that I've heard is awesome. I like the new album, but I must say the new songs sound really, really good live. Some notables were AB, LB, SU (Carter was really good), YMDT (another good one for Carter). All of new songs rocked (with the exception of Out of My Hands). LIOG was unbelievable. Boyd went absolutely crazy and then it was like he was never going to stop. It was the most amazing performance I've seen by him. It was my third time getting #41 as an opener (twice in 2001) and I really like it. It's a great way to start the show. Dave was saying all kinds of shit all night long, but I couldn't understand a word of it. One time he went on this 2-3 minute rant on something. Warehouse as a closer was nice because it was something different. They did a cool change to the stop time intro where they all paused a beat after one of the woo's. Overall it was a good show, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night.

The show was amazing. I have never been as close as I was last night. it was so much fun to listen to 20,000 people singing the Everyday intro's and Out-tros'. Dave just kept on smiling all night. We were having so much fun but the band was in gear for last night. Boyd dance...Wait...Boyd Danced! It was awsome that Stefan's B-day was celebrated with him having a smile so much...the croud up close made sure he knew that we knew it was his b-day. Well anyways, today is packing day for bonnaroo...see you at the roo.
