11/5/15

DMB in Paris, France.

Minarets opener. :rawk

I really like Where Are You Going in the 2nd slot. Sweet placement.

I've said it before, but this tour is very impressive.

Now Stay or Leave. Aw yeah. :nod

The Stone! :banana

A later set All Along the Watchtower is always welcome.

4/5/02

Haven't listened to this one in ages.

Where are you going isn't welcome in any slot. Especially after a Minarets opener. I went to three shows that tour. It was the same show every night.

I'm obviously enjoying this tour. There are few outright terrible songs, and I really think some of the song placements are excellent. But hey, I'm just listening.

Looking back, those Europe Fall 2015 sets are surprisingly interesting and good. Especially as far as Europe sets go.

7.26.98

top tier.

That Last Stop is tits.

Yes they are. Just finished 11/7/15. Enjoyed it. Crisp pull. Dave teasing Dodo is frustrating.

Fall 2015 continues in England on 11/10/15.

The Stone as an opener should happen more often. Jeff is a powerhouse on this song.

edit: looks like I was wrong about this show. :lol Dave opened it solo with Sugar Will. Forgot I had listened to that years ago and then moved on to other things. My opinion on Stone still stands.

Since they nailed it down in 2008, You Might Die Trying has never disappointed me. Great build up in this one. Love the frequent horns improvisations.

Some fools are trying to clap along with Mercy. :boohoo

The Best of What's Around. What else can be said but :rawk?

#41 (Ft. Bela Fleck & The Flecktones) 7/25/01

Can't go wrong with a #41 opener. DMB is in Glasgow, Scotland and it's 11/11/15. Penultimate show of this awesome tour.

Lovin' this early set Drunken Soldier.

Stay or Leave is one of Dave's very best songs. Shame the studio cut is overproduced.

Granny. :)

This show has a few mid-tier songs I enjoy. When the World Ends, If Only, You & Me.

I don't mind Spaceman every once in a while.

Band sounds good. I don't want this tour to end. One of my favourites.

Warehouse has been the MVP of this tour. They've nailed it every time.

A late set Typical Situation is never a bad mistake. Boyd is a bit shaky. :\

Always liked this show. Was there for it and it was a great time. Boyd a bit rough at moments, but that’s Boyd. Great set list. Would have liked this released instead on the 96 SPAC show.

Surprised at the love you’re giving ‘15. It’s one of my least favorite tours. It’s like ‘14 but more stale, less variety, and a lot of underutilized guest spots..not to mention LL. To each their own, but I’m certainly not clamoring for a ‘15 release again anytime soon.

He’s listening to the fall international tour, which I forgot happened, but the lovely ladies were not on that leg. Also it was a normal set, not the two set format.

I'd be most concerned about Boyd's presence at those shows. I haven't heard anything from that tour and Gweeps has me interested in checking out a few shows. 2015 Boyd must be brutal, though

I saw 2 summer shows in 2015 (Alpine) and they are largely forgettable. They messed up Captain which lead to a neat instrumental outro. That's about all I remember from those shows. It's a Live Trax and I never listen to it :lol

Yep, Boyd is the weakest link here on this show. Roi and Carter are just filthy which makes up for Boyd.

2011’was the last bearable year of Boyd. He had some moments on AFTW abs a couple of shows in ‘12 but it just got slowly worse. What a sad fall from Grace.

I'm glad he likes them but honestly very boring shows. Same songs every night. I went to three, there was something missing. Nothing special, very middle of the road.

Are you talking about 100% of shows? i think there were definitely times where Boyd was ok after 2011. There were also definitely a few shows where he was great all show. Im not saying it was every night, but there were definitely good boyd solos after 2011.

No I mean overall, taking the tour as a whole, he was incredibly inconsistent, more than ever, after 2011. Of course he had good shows, butt those became a super small percentage. It became normal for me to cringe when Pig started knowing he’s out of tune…and worried everytime when they played the stone of he was going to keep playing his part out of time…abd then even worse, holding your breath he’s not gonna drop his bow mid solo. Not to mention him just sitting out entirely on nearly all the new material. It became very apparent he was holding them back.
