What a top tier show amongst tour closing nights

Tim was soooo loud in the mix in 2010.

That compilation I posted is a shredfest and I love it.

I also forget how FAST everything was in 2010.

DMB 4.0 is just so bland.

12/16/94

That's better.

A DMB Coverband at this point if we're being honest.

I noticed the sources of 5.19.01 all complemented each other sound wise and I threw together a matrix of a few of them for the Lie in Our Graves with Trey.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Sure is. Bland is a good word for them. Dave can barely sing, they play terrible songs mostly and do no keep thing interesting. They were soooo good. Big time cover band. Rashawn is the worst.

DAMN. this sounds great. Also, the performance is top notch too.

Id have to think 1997-2004 was really the peak for LIOG. there were a few in 07-08 that were good as well, but i think this song really hit its stride in the late 90s early 2000s.

I love listening to old shows and hearing people going bananas during Boyd's (or bela, whoever) solo. In the Winter 98 videos people were jumping up and down in the back row was so awesome. What a time to see the band it must have been.

Somehow had never watched 12/1/98. With the Boise show coming soon, I've been going back to '98 a lot.

I'd love some of whatever tim was on when he goes to the ground during his Crush solo ��.

Also, seek up from fall '98 is so fucking good.

Glad you like! One of the AUD sources was bass and low-mid heavy, the other was low bass but more top end clarity, and there's a low-level IEM mixed in so that Carter's drums jump through the mix like a release.

I usually listen for Carter's drums so the IEM makes sense why. on AUDs they sound muddy sometimes.

Ymdt 6/2/17

First time hearing this D&T. Love it.

Does anyone have the full Cow Palace show (11.9.96) in mp3? I'm tired of waiting for it to be a Live Trax and want to see if it's as great as 16-year old me thought it was in 1999. Much appreciated.

Seek Up - 7/30/01

Won't be released, either. drop outs in the master.

One of the best shows ever imo. Crazy energy.

bummer.

i remember it being a fav back in my peak show-listening days.

the tape is pretty solid. definitely one to get and enjoy

The Best of Spring Tour 2002 compilation!

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

There's a spoiler free 1-track in the folder, and tracked and tagged version in a separate folder.

I've gone more of a run mix tonight. Some of 10/2/07, 2/5/99, BTCS, 11/13/93, 11/26/91, 7/3/19, etc.

Your Spring 2002 mix > the Summer 2002 mix.

Haven’t been actively putting it off, and I’ve certainly sampled many times from the 2000 tour, but I think it’s time to dive in and do it. Especially after watching 12.12.00 the other day (sure, not a 2000 classic, but it got me amped). That was a fun watch for a few reasons: great performances, great crowd energy, fun flubs, technical snafus that rebounded, young weird Dave, excellent Carter, the list obviously goes on. I’m excited to finally put the time in and get the full picture :upyours

Just listened through -- they were on fire. It's too bad this one can't get the official treatment.

Dave & Tim 2/11/96
Real quiet audience
Great tape
Fantastic set
A fan yells for "After Her" and Dave sings "After Her" at the beginning of Satellite
Great "What will become of me"
Nice short story before "I'll back you up"
Highly recommended

Currently on LT 53 - really enjoying it!

Next up: Warehouse 5 Vol 1.

I would love a 3-4 disc compilation of Fall '98.

So I was fairly disinterested in anything DMB related for a few years. Haven't seen them since the Bangor, Maine show in 2014. Haven't listened to any audience recordings in ages. However, Brandon's generous act of kindness this spring was the catalyst for a renewed interest in the band. I opted for LT 47, and it did not disappoint. When I asked folks for recommendations, I remembered a few people recommending LT 37, so when I ordered LT 52 a few weeks ago, I threw 37 into my order, and I'm really glad I did.

LT 37 has completely reignited my passion for this band. I've listened to it multiple times and I've loved every minute. The band was so much fun back then. Lots of improv and exploration. And Boyd actually sounded really good back then. And I've always been a big fan of the Peter era.

Anyway, I've found myself listening to a whole bunch of random stuff on YouTube that I used to have on my computer a decade ago. Toy Soldiers, Light Lift Me Up, Take A Minute Jam, other random soundcheck jams from the early days, etc. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's nice to be back, and after being gone for a while, it sort of feels like falling in love all over again.

LT 37, LT 47, and random oddities like Toy Soldiers, LLMU, etc. Hard to go wrong with any of those. That's how you keep your fandom fresh. Instead of listening to a recent 2019 show.

8/7/2001

8/20/00 alpine night 2. Anyone there knows how special this one was.

For those that weren't, why was it so special? Came off a little flat on the recording to me, which isn't the most clear recording, so I haven't gone back to it in a while.

how is this LIOG?

LT2...love that Sugar Will!

Epic stuff. Great Seek Up, Jimi, Rapunzel, etc. Energy through the roof.

DMBLive @ Trax - 7.28.92

9/6/03



Wouldn't mind seeing this one get a full Live Trax release someday.

agree, love this show. really like that encore

Too Much LT1

Yeah, Carter's sound is obnoxiously mixed for this release.

One of the weirdest setlists ever (in a good way). That BTCS four-peat to start the show is particularly amazing.

I remember being at the show the night before and thinking "wow, could tomorrow be the show where they play BTCS front to back?" :lol

9/16/03 is still one that needs to be released. Excellent superduper set, except IDI of course.

Bah I saw the band on August 31st in 2003. Horrible show, still probably the worst I attended, had no interest in ever seeing them again after it.

Literally missed one of their best months ever by one show :downyours

That's such a cool and unique show.

'03 had a lot of crazy unique, random setlists and song selections, wish they would mix things up like that again more often. I saw them on 8/24, and yeah they really came together big time for that September.

I think it was in August the band found out about the upcoming winter D+F tour and they weren't particularly happy about it, but by September I think they got over it and really played with a different attitude..maybe because they wanted CP to be great and were excited building up to it or maybe they decided to play like it was gonna be their last tour for a while, who knows, but something definitley clicked in Sept '03.

Cry Freedom 7/31/04

Gorgeous version. Great to have a sbd.

How’s that two step with krasno? I’d be interested to hear that!

DMBLive 10.3.96.

His guitar tone with DMB is always great, I'm a fan of that one.

Yeah... I love that 41 with Sam kininger and kras from Arizona 2001 I think?

Dave & Tim 2.2.97 - Scranton.

Can confidently say I've never listened to this show.

Oh man that's a good one. One of the first D+T shows I got my hands on back in the day when I got into the band.

I was surprised that the tape is a solid B+ listen. Figured I knew about all the decent sounding 97s. Too bad the January tapes are generally rough. A lot of great stuff on the early shows that are so hard to get through. Some cool improv jams, etc.

If anyone wants... [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

That was just about a year and a half before I got into DMB. Would've loved to see a show there.

My love for them became officially heavy once I spent a weekend with Crowded Streets.

Two Step -> BOWA red rocks. I've totally taken this for granted for so long, but that may be my favorite part of that release! Such a great transition, and Tim's solo is really great.

Also giving LT39 a spin, oddly for the first time. I'd heard lots of mix questioning, but actually I kind of like what they've done with it, as the chapman stick is incredibly challenging to mix into that sound! On headphones a really cool listen and I LOVE this two step! Greg howard really adds to the end, and Tim's solo is very playful and unique. Also, Roi is super playful on the bari, adding all kinds of good under the radar fills throughout. May be favorite 98 two step so far. Mayyyybe. I still love the first warehouse 5 version.

...also, this dreaming tree! I remember hearing the audience, but what a great treat to have.

god that tour would make a great compilation boxset!

Hell yes my man. And yes, Two Step -> BOWA from Red Rocks '95 is about as good as it gets. Wish Tim would still fill that way. He went from complete emotion and true originality to classic rock licks. Real shame.

Listening to Lost Acoustics Playlist from Dave & Tim in the mid 90's

i think that's a BIT of a broad stroke, but i generally think i agree. i think, as with 12 years strait of anything, you're bound to fall into patterns. I still love Tim in any form with the band, but to focus on the common ground, 98 is so great to listen to the exploration/growth across a whole tour, while, actually, still remaining faithful to the studio recordings (Crash & BTCS). For example, Tim still generally played faithfully to his studio parts - think Crush, Two Step, Last Stop, etc. That Dreaming Tree with Howard & Tim is fucking ridiculous. That's the definitive DT, without question.

on RR95: I always have to remind myself that Tim's red rocks appearance was out of the blue - it's not like they'd played a bunch of shows together to warm up for it, which is actually kind of astounding to think of how good they all sound together on that performance! But yeah, the old arrangement of Two Step with the Tim solo & segue to BOWA is so damn good.

anyway, SO down for more 98 shows/individual song releases. 8/21 is currently VERY high on that wishlist.

I don't really agree with this, I think he's still very original, he just plays with a lot more gain/distortion and and he's cranked up louder in the mix than he used to be.

Jeff mentioned in that recent podcast that was posted that the band made a conscious choice since Big Whiskey to adapt a "wall of sound" kind of approach and have a "horn section" instead of a wandering soloist. After Roi died they made an effort to become a different band, because really, without him they are. And now especially without Boyd. But my favorite parts of the last 2 albums are Tim's contributions. He does incredible work on AFTW and CT all over the place.

He was only on a few songs for CT - samurai, again & again and Virginia are the only ones I remember him on... maybe DYR? Your point is valid, tho. I will say, even in 98 he was cranking the gain, and also mercilessly attacking the pitch shifting stuff on a few songs. People seemed to definitely split on his jimi and liog solos back in the day.

Yeah and 2 of those songs are widely considered the best on the album. He's on DYR too, but he has a much more backing role on it. Another reason CT sucks is that the entire full band are on like 4 tracks out of the entire thing. That's kind of ridiculous. It's a Dave solo album and to call it DMB is kind of cop out.

Yeah. I have no interest in ever listening to that record again, which puts it in a category with only stand up.

Same. That's why I'm so excited about these recent recordings Dave did at his house. The actual band, or most of them, (carter, dave, buddy and Tim) writing songs TOGETHER...no Alagia making up riffs, no recycling and piecing together old recordings from previous sessions, no big time producer like Cavallo or Batson or Lillywhite getting involved in the process telling them what to do. This really interests me a lot.

2.6.97 Blacksburg

"Dave Matthews fan says for the 238247234th time that these recording sessions will be different and better."

Made a playlist of all of the Summer Tour Warm Ups over the years that I ripped from You Tube...listening to them on shuffle. Most songs end up being between 2012-2016. If you care for that era, there are some interesting versions at venues that don't often get official releases.

:upyours I enjoy having those downloads. And, of course, the YouTube videos are fun to randomly shuffle around with.

Alligator Pie 9/5/09 w/ Danny Barnes. It's terrible. I looked through the Almanac to find a version of AP with a guest and this seems to be the only version played with a guest.

Yeah, that was the Gorge run where Dave’s voice was complete trash to the point where Barnes had to sing lead on two of his own songs during DMB’s set each night. On 9/5, Alligator Pie was wedged in between those songs. Woof.

SIDE OF THE ROAD!!

Do You Remember studio

Shotgun 2006 debut

Perhaps still the best version. I'm shocked the song has only been played 45 times.

Giants '98 multi-AUD matrix.

I still can’t believe they didn’t finish and officially release Shotgun. It’s right there with JTR as shockingly bad artistic and business decisions. They’re both absolute powerhouses and could have really helped the band reinvent themselves to the general public throughout the 2000’s.

Instead they release Can’t Stop.

Shotgun is by far no JTR but I agree, bad choice.

With every passing year, I dislike Shotgun more and more. It's like 4 mismatched bits of music that don't go together.

I’ve never liked it. A mish mash of music, lyrics I could care less about and a bunch of yelling. Just not for me. Lumping it in with JTR is crazy talk.

Totally agreed. It was great in '06 and just progressively got worse. When the band tried "tightening" it up and Dave put set lyrics on it, they killed it.
