I can't believe no one has started a DMB thread yet! The DMB has been a huge part of my life for about 3 years. I think what draws me to them is Dave's writing. his lyrics are so true and wise, I think everyone can relate to at least one Dave song if not more. I have only been to one Dave show unfortunately, but in August i will be going twice so it's all good! Am i the only Dave fan on the boards? I sure hope not!
-
They are def a great band! I have seen them once live and it was cool. My favorite DMB song is crush! They have an amazing fan base as well!
-
D'oh I knew i forgot to post something hehe
Dave rocks!
Mike
-
i agree.... i luv dmb :D
-
they're cool. sometimes i get tired of 'em but they're cool. wait didn't i say that already? oh well. i love the guitar in Crash Into Me.
-
my fave song is "Two Step" but live, it's soooo good!
Mike
-
heheheheh any other DMB fans? lol. over 20 shows and counting ;)
Mike is right.... 2 Step is amazing live. They did a 15 minute Jam on 2 Step in Indy 3 years ago. Amazing.

wow, i only discovered them about a year ago because no-one at all has heard of them here. So far i have Crash, Before These Crowded Streets and Everyday- i love them all so much! Lately i am loving Grey Street and all of the multiple version of it! I can't even express how much i completely adore their lyrics- some of the songs feel like they were written just for me!
-

EXACTLY! That's why I love them! GreyStreet is totally my song! Two Step live rocks my socks, and so do Pig, everything off Busted Stuff and BTCS, plus the best DMB song of all time, #41.
How about y'all's favorite DMB songs?
-
Ooooh i love Pig too- one of my favourite ever songs!
-
im kinda proud of myself. I've managed to restrict myself to seeing DMB only twice this summer. Indy and cincy. I have yet to hear So Right or I Did It Live.... those are the two im hoping for. And, of course, my usual prayers for Haloween and Spoon.

I wanna see a show, probably will do the Giants Stadium thing like I do every year which rocks!!

Also the best concert EVER, better than any Bush or any Vanessa show was a Dave show where it started to rain and thunder during The space between us and then during "Two Step" all hell broke loose, the PA system went out, the stage sparked people were screaming and running fo rthe exits because of the lightening and there was this HUGE bang and then the power went out but Dave never stopped playing. I have the show on cd and everytime I listen to it I get the worst chills, it's juszt so hard to explain, but if anyone was there you know EXACTLY what i am talking about.

Satallite, Ants go Marching, what would you say, The space between.
Ants go Marching is my absolute favorite
-
The best part about Ants Marching is the VERY distinctive drum beat at the beginning. I dont know why, but that always makes me go nuts.
Oh man... im gettin the itch. I need to see dave. He misses me. I know it. I dont know if I can wait much longer. :wink:
---Andrew
-
dude, I know EXACTLY how you feel!!!!! August 27 and 28 at SPAC! It can't come soon enough!
-
*sigh*
I feel sooooooooo much better now.
Saw DMB last night in Cincy. Show was amazing. Jammed out jimmi thing, cry freedom, minatrets, closed with what you are. Only got one new song for my list, Sleep to Dream Her, but thats about all I expect these days. I was praying for So Right. Oh well. Seeing them again next week in Indy!!!!
---Andrew

My absolute favourite DMB Song is "Space Between"! It has such a great melody and it´s really easy to play on guitar! :)

Kickass show! Minarets makes a return and Sleep to Dream Her makes a surprise. Friends of mine went to Buffalo for the Darien Lake show and the set list was retro! Lots of stuff from Under the Table and Dreaming and BTCS. I'm hoping he doesn't change it up too much between now and the end of August when I see him.

Any WHY have you not told me about this show, sister? hmmmmmmmmmm? I thought you said you would take me to the next one! :evil:
juuuuuuuust kidding :lol: but i would like to go......
-
DMB again tonight! I'm praying for "So Right" and "Dreaming Tree"! Everyone cross their fingers for me!
---Andrew

dmb is the only band who could ever possibly fill the ever touring jam band throne left empty by the grateful dead... every dmb (i never say just "dave" because there's a whole band there and all of them deserve credit not just mr. mathews) show i've ever been to has been different from the one preceding it.. this is key... as far as favorite song i can't name one... too many.. but my personal favorite album where everything is at it's tightest is probably before these crowded streets...
don't burn the day ya'll
shine on

BTCS in the HOOOOOOUSE! it's prob my fav too.
I say Dave. Cause Dave is my man.
Not to diss the rest of the band... but Dave is the heart. Dave is the reason I keep going back. Without him, the others are just talented musicians with no direction.

---Andrew
-
I am definately groovin on the current set lists, I am hoping it lasts!
-
Any local or upstate NESSAholics going to SPAC to see Dave on Wednesday next week (that's 8/27)? I'll be there in the front balcony!
-
I'm going tonight, I can't wait! And the opener is gonna kickass, it's the lead singer from the Alman Brothers Band who took over when Greg Alman died. the other night boyd and leroi sat in and they played Jessica...i really hopw they do it again!

And this is how the best night of my life went down:
1) driving to Saratoga with JT-stuck on the Northway for 45 minutes!
2) get to SPAC and find a sweet parking spot
3) go in, find our seats in the balcony
4) the Warehouse people come by and exchange our tickets for FRONT ROW SEATS!
5) setlist includes: warehouse, stone, everyday, what would you say, fool to think and watchtower
6) encore goes retro with Best of what's around and Tripping Billies
7) the camera guy turns around and gives me the set list as an apology for being in my way the whole time
full setlist:everyday, rhyme or reason(a pleasant surprise), warehouse, when the world ends, what would you say, help myself, where are you going, loving wings, seek up (awesome jam!), Too much, Fool to think, Grace is gone, the stone, digging a ditch, watchtower(with a 7 Nation Army tease by stefan!)
encore: best, billies
Deep Southern was awesome too, the did all Alman tunes, ending with Jessica but no boyd or leroi :(
-
i'm going tonight! i cant wait, hopefully i'll have as much fun as you did, i'll be in the second row w/ my best friend alexa (her dad got us the seats) and all my friends will be on the lawn haha, i'll visit with them some time
last year the night i wasnt there (of course) it started pouring and storming and the show went on--it was awesome i heard, just hearing like "satellite" to that situation, lol i'm so excited for tonite
glad u had fun niki--i'm so upset we missed each other, but oh well we'll see each other again :)
<3 mells <3

Awwwww.... I miss Seek Up. I used to love that song. Loving wings is always good times.
They do Rhyme and Reason a LOT. It's never been one of my favorites, but I think Dave feels obligated to do atleast one angry song every show ;)

Actually I have never been to a Dave show where he's done Rhyme so I was excited even if no one else was, lol.

Dave Matthews new Solo Album, Some Devil, came out on tuesday. I'm still forming an opinion, but I really like the accoustic version of Gravedigger.
---Andrew
-
the only song that i really like so far is Dodo. An' Another Thing is ok too, but it's basically Little Thing in sheep's clothing. I don't usually like it when artists re-write already great songs. I agree with you on acoustic Gravedigger though! the DVD and CD releases of Central Park could come out as soon as November, and a 6 disk Gorge release is slated for next year. Plus rumors of a full band Winter tour, and Dave and Friends in the Spring....there goes my bank account!

No kidding! Busy winter ;)
I'm not diggin the new Little Thing so much. It just kinda drifts around and never seems to make a real point.
Nothing on the album has really jumped out at me yet.... i'm hoping this one kinda grows on me though. But mostly, it reminds me too much of Everyday. As in, overproduced.

yeah, that seems to be the general consensus from a lot of people i've discussed Some Devil with. I am not against artists growing and changing and trying something different, but i've said it before and i'll say it again: why re-invent the wheel?
On a side note, because you mentioned Everyday it reminded me, that my good friend from home just got into DMB. And all she listens to is Everyday. Which is ok, there are a few nice tunes there, but her favorite song is...Angel. Good Lord. I am so schooling her in BTCS 101 when I get home for Thanksgiving!

check out Dave on Saturday Night Live this weekend! And when I say Dave I mean just Dave Matthews, no band.
Andrew, are you planning on going to any solo shows this winter? I haven't made up my mind yet but it looks like the only show near me is on a day I can't go.
Central Park DVD/CD comes out November 18!
-
**let's hear it for the triple post**
Last night on SNL, was it just me, or did Dave look like a hobo that lives in a cardboard box down the street? He just looked awful, the beard annoys me, and his teeth were all yellow.....gross! Save Me was kinda good though, I'm not a fan of So Damn Lucky either.....why didn't he go with accoustic Gravedigger? oh well....

Not right now I'm not..... Im trying to save cash right now. I am doing a lot of home improvement and it is draining my cash fast.
BUT, I did order the central park CD and DVD. Im stoked. Both Pearl Jam and DMB are releasing live stuff this month!!

Dave has been lookin like a hobo for years now ;)
And I like lucky..... :?

Well satuday night he was extremely hobo-ish. I mean, I was ready to see him put a cooking pot on his head and carrying a stick with a bandana pouch tied on the end of it.
Lucky is a good song, but it's not on my top ten. Overall it was a good time, it looked like him and Trey were having a blast.

what do you all think of dave's solo stuff? i'm sad that the band is somewhat dismembered at this point.. i love the violinist..
they had the "dave and friends" concert in hartford a few months ago and one person who went said it was awesome, and another told me it was awful and didn't live up to their expectations. what do you think? i like "gravedigger", personally, but we'll have to wait and see when it comes to other music

I am not going to a Dave and Friends show, so I really can't say. I love the energy and heart that pours from the band when they play live. Dave has definately got everything to make it on his own in a solo career, but I don't think that the other band members can. Case in point: Boyd Tinsley. Do NOT get me wrong, Boyd is one of the sweetest and most talented guys ever, and he was classically trained on the violin to begin with, but his solo record was bland, to say the least. I think that any other of the band members would have the same turnout except for Dave. For the most part, I like Dave's solo stuff. It's got a different feel to it, and a lot of it has grown on me. I love "Gravedigger" the video is spectacular.
-
Yeah Dave! He won the Grammy for "gravedigger" in the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance category! He beat out David Bowie and Bob Dylan I believe. Can't wait to see him perform!

Big bump for DMB! Tongiht VH1 premiered the video for the first single, "American Baby" off of the new album Stand Up. The album comes out in less than a month!
