What a great start to my tour. Seek Up as the opener, got Sister - one of my favourites - LIOG, So Right, plus Ants was fun too. A strong set list I thought. Went with my brother, and also everybody around me was grooving the whole night, it was such a fun group to be around.

My first DMB show. We went there with my wife and a great friend. It was a nice experience after years listening to them, seeing them live. The sound was great. We stood in the 2nd row right in front of the horn section. I hope they'll come back next year to Germany!

A great DMB show and not one that I was expecting. It wasn't a 'hits' set but an amazing one due to the boys being on top form and really going for it.

Really fun first show of the tour for me. Set went downhill, but I was loving every song.

The show started with the band entering onto the stage. The crowd had a brief applaud and then almost a silence as waited for Dave to say something or to play. Dave did not speak a word and opened with 20 minutes of Seek Up. The first 5 minutes had a great solo by Jeff and Rashawn. I was a little surprised that they opened without saying something. When Seek Up ended I was then anticipating Dave to speak since he did not when he came on stage. Between the first and second song there was a dead silence, to me it almost felt eerie as I could likely hear a pin drop from the back of the room. The silence between songs seemed like it lasted an eternity but was likely short, however long enough for me to contemplate about it as I did not know what to make of it.
Dave then went into playing So Right J. After the Seek up > So Right intro Dave said a few words before he started #41 in which you could hear the excitement of the crowd. Belly Belly Nice was played next and brought down the excitement a bit followed by another slow solo performance of Death on the High Seas. This was nice to hear again as I heard it for the first time played in Mansfield this year. If Only…. While I like If Only I don’t always want to hear as it brings down the energy often. However, If Only was one of the most impactful moments of the show for me. At the end of the song the small group of people I had met and was next too started singing and/or humming the course of the song for about a minute after the band had finished playing. I have never seen this before to If Only and joined in, it was a neat experience along with the eerie silence between the songs that I will remember. The rest of the show went as usual. When Dave came onto stage for the encore he had made some nice comments about spending time with someone here in the audience today and that he was playing this for her. Opened with Sister and ended with a fun Watchtower.
Thanks DMB fans for a great first time Europe show and for taping this!
14 US shows and 2 Europe for me this year. Not sure how i did it but met the best fans and enjoyed every moment.

1st show after a 5-year euro hiatus! A full tour is well deserved for us all over here.
First time for me in Düsseldorf, nice venue, low roof, so less lights on stage.
Opener \"Seek Up\" simply unbelievable with horns battle coming to peak.
2h50min of show, 3 long pieces played : Seek Up, Crush, #41.
Watchtower was a blast ! First crazy Cornbread and a "So Right" that surprised everyone!!
Amazing start for me for this tour !
