Amazing, fantastic show. I loved every minute (well, except WAYG... I hear that every show!). I went into the night wishing for Pig or Dancing Nancies and I got both!!! The energy from the band and the crowd in my section was just awesome. The new songs were great-- I loved hearing Sister again, that song gives me the chills!

Opening of the show was a little weak... Empty seats, totally quiet fans. Was one of the shittiest crowds I've been a part of. But all that aside, JTR, Pantala-->Rapunzel,Two Step, and some others were pretty solid songs. I was so excited when they played So Right. New song Shotgun was pretty good. One of my favs was Smooth rider was G LOVE which was awesome, he came out and rapped and did some harmonica.. very cool. All in all the crowd was terrible but it was a solid show.

This might have been my favorite show I've been to. I was off by 1 for the opener. I called Pig an luckily enough it wasn't too far off from One Sweet World. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time and I am also absolutely loving "Shotgun." It has a great sound to. "So Right" was a big surprise considering the fact that Dave had been yet to play it on the tour and that I was listening to it on the car ride up. All and all best two nights of DMB this young listener has seen.

Best show I've been to, and with yesterday's show, the best weekend I've ever been to. When he started with the old school JTR lyrics two songs after Pig I knew that great things were coming... and we got Nancies->Warehouse, the first So Right in three years, and a live debut of a sweet song. The Baby Intro was unexpected but surprisingly good. My only complaint was that it all seemed to go by too fast.

Unbelievable show, definitely the best I ever attended! JTR was off the hook, insane, with the entire horn section. It was one of the best DMB performances of any song I have ever seen and definitely the best JTR I've ever heard. They added a beautiful intro to WAYG, somewhat reminiscent of the old OSW intro. THEN CAME THE HIGHLIGHT OF ALL DAVE SHOWS FOR ME...SO RIGHT! KEEPING IN MIND THAT I STARTED AN ANTSMARCHING.ORG DISCUSSION BOARD THREAD ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO ABOUT HOW DMB SHOULD PLAY SO RIGHT LIVE AGAIN, AND MY POST WAS WELL SUPPORTED BY FELLOW FANS. I HEARD THE RETURN OF MINARETS THIS PAST WINTER AND THAT DID NOT EVEN SURPRISE ME AS MUCH AS SO RIGHT! IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DMB SONGS AND WHAT A TREAT TO HEAR IT BROUGHT BACK AFTER 3 YEARS. THANK YOU DAVE MATTHEWS BAND YOU MADE MY NIGHT! Well, what's left...how about Stay, Billies, with and extended Boyd jam and Two Step with a Carter solo, all in the last six songs of the evening, it couldn't have gotten any better! Also, it was the best crowd environment I have ever been in for a Dave show, I didn't get any whifs of second hand weed or have 16 year olds who snuck into the pavillion seats pushing me like I usually do. This show was just So Right...

Went to both nights. Very awesome. Got very excited when they opened with Best of whats around. that is an amazing opener, especially in the beginning of the tour (these were my first two of the summer 06 tour). Was happy to hear dreaming tree and proudest monkey. And was even MORE happy to hear shotgun bc no one had heard it ever before. We were the first ones. Good weekend. I'm going with different people next time though, bc all we did was fight in the parking lot, and thats not what DMB is about!

My first show after finaly getting a warehouse membership. I was seventh row dead center. When Dave came on stage I lost it. It was just an awesome show. And I do forgive Dave for fogeting to say 'cause we're tripping billies. Thankfully, Carter got everyone back on track. Also, collaborating with G-Love on Smooth rider was a wonderful idea. Thank you DMB, and thankyou warehouse.

eleventh dave show and I have to rank it #2 right behind the June 20th, 2000 show. Absolutely amazing oncore-hoping for either two-step or watchtower. smooth rider has really changed since last year and sounds amazing. JTR- can't go wrong but even better in columbus because it was raining. Pig was beautiful. if you had a sister you must have called her during "sister"- i know i did. hopefully idea, and shotgun will make it on the new cd but ya never know. OVerall an amazing show- crowd was great where I was, we were dancing every chance we could.

The 6/9/06 and 6/10/06 shows had a few friends I forgot to mention. Ian Gordon on Trumpet, Reggie Watkins on Trombone, and Rashawn on Trumpet. A high light was the sheer power of the horn section on JTR, G Love on harmonica and Rapped a few verses in Smooth Rider, and the very first Shotgun in its infancy.

Freakin' third row seats - we had a blast except for this dick next to us who snagged the drumstick carter threw to my wife. he pointed to her and everything and then just executed a bad throw that went one seat left. let's just say it was a long flight back to mississippi thinking about what that dude was doing to his girlfriend with our stick. animals.

JTR, G. Love, and a really fucked up Tripping Billies, what a great show.
User: INSPIREDbyDAVE
Review:
First show in about 6 months for us. We need from the minute they walked on stage that the energy was there. Dave walked to both sides and threw both of his arms up in the air, and the crowd and band was in it from there.
Never bad with a OSW opener. Its great that theyre pulling back out JTR. Smooth Rider may have been the highlight, as they had 5 guests on stage and G Love added some sweet Harmonica and a verse. So Right was unexpected but I actually think its a great song from Everyday.
Shotgun live debut sounds great. Can't wait to see how they develop. Sick American Baby intro!

Great show. Glad to hear Pig, one sweet world. New songs sounded great. Two step closer was great. Over the two nights the diverse set list was very welcome. This show was slightly lower rated than the 6/9 show just because the setlist contained more songs I like, both shows were excellent.

This was the best show I have ever attended. Mainly because I was in the front row for the first time ever, but also because the band had great energy and a tremendous setlist. Stefan made my night complete by always smiling down at us and making sure I received the Camelbak water bottle he gave at the end of the show. All I can say is Thank You DMB for one the best nights ever!!

Great show! My husband had to buy a ticket in the lot, and we were lucky he got one. We had just started dating about a month and a half earlier, and Id only gotten him an advance ticket to the first night, since I was afraid he would think my friends and I were crazy and obsessive. Luckily, he gets it. Loved Warehouse and Smooth Rider, lots of fun all around!

I went to the second night here in Pittsburgh, thinking there was no way the DMB could top last night's show, but I was immediately put in my place. The OSW opener, and Billies closer, and just plain kick-ass in the middle. This was the best DMB weekend of my life. God I hope the tapers got this one right ;)

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really could've done without half the setlist. Sorry to sound like a bitchy little fanboy, but there's a lot of songs they've been playing since the tour started that weren't played at Pittsburgh and I was waiting to hear them (Raven? LIOG?) Instead we got OSW and Pig for the umpteenth time and WAYG?!?!?!?!?! (To the bathroom to lose my lunch, where else) Bitchiness aside, the energy was incredible, DN-Warehouse kicked ass as always and Two Step was another ROCKIN version. Thankfully they did play JTR which made my entire night. But after hearing Kill the King at night one, I was let down (again) when it didn't make a re-appearance on night two. Kill the King is FUNKY and needs to be played. I was very impressed with the other new song, Shotgun, and look forward to hearing it evolve over the rest of the tour. See ya next year

Amazing, sitting in the 3rd row amde it even sweeter. Great set, G Love on Smooth Rider was nuts, the guests at the Pittsburgh shows always bring down the house. Shotgun was a great new tune and was also happy with the way sister sounded live. And two step closing the encore? Would have never gusessed, in combination with American Baby intro, it was the best encore we coudl have asked for. Can't wait to download this one! See you all in Heshey.

To be honest, it was the first DMB concert I have ever been to but I've been a Dave fan for years. I must say his show was absolutely fantastic! The band has so much energy and actually sounds better live compared to their records (something I have found to be a rare quality.) Needless to say, you can never go wrong attending a DMB concert.

Tremendous show, but disappointed in the crowd. Large crowd, but that was about it. LOVED the G Love harmonica/rap to Smooth Rider and the trombone and trumpets! Great setlist, although no Watchtower or Ants Marching, but did like the new stuff REALLY WELL! Sister was the worse of the three. Makes me consider going to the other PA concerts this year as well, and I know the Randall's Island concert will be the best this year, with David Gray and Bela Fleck.

Lots of variety in the setlist. Not much to really say (based on the setist, I think that this opinion would change if I listened to the bootleg a bit more in depth) other than the version of Smooth Rider was smokin and remains one of my favorite live recordings.

Show was absolutely amazing! One of the best setlists I could think of... got to hear "JTR" live which was amazing, and just when I thought the songs couldn't get better and I couldn't get anything more that I would beg to hear.... They started into "So Right" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was going to faint! I would have never expected that in a million years, and I didn't even dare to hope for it! Dave and the boys really gave me a wonderful show that I will always remember!!!!
And -- I got to see the first Shotgun. :)

User: TwoStepPA
Review:
Going into the show I thought it would be hard to top the energy and excitment of the first night but quickly we all knew we were in for a treat! OSW opener (I was hoping for The Stone or #41, but good all the same), followed by Pig which was simply amazing. It was at this point you could just tell the band was clickin' on all cylinders tonight. They were very tight and looked to be having a blast. By this time I was finally back with my friends (i had to wait in an extremely long line for the rest room). Crash was next and from that point on it was just like...words can't even describe it. This was probably the most fun I have ever had at a show. So Right, JTR, Warehouse, and the live debut of Shotgun (Thank You Dave)!!!! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend with friends and the best band in the world!

The song debut of Shotgun in a very raw form compared to where it is today. The first time ABI has been in the encore (Friggin Awesome). Thanks to what i believe were crowd chants the night before we saw the return of So Right. Other highlights include JTR and Dave's memory loss on Tripping Billies. The real show stopper was Smooth Rider, granted its been around for only two years, this was the best version ever played. G. Love came out and threw together an amazing improv rap, plus Ian, Reggie, Rashawn, and Roi tore shit up in the woodwind/brass section.

I went into this concert thinking no way could he top yesterdays performence, and I was proven wrong.... Smooth Rider was best I ever heard with the whole G love family comming out and I was completly taken off guard with So Right.... It was spectacular.... American Baby Intro was the best song of the night and i was kinda hopin for a non Two Step close, but once he played it I realized that in pittsburgh he couldnt have not played it... Shotgun was very very good as well, possibly the best new song, which is saying a lot.... Overall this is the best weekend of Dave that I could have ever imagined...
