[mjf]

It's definitely in our interest for shows that the almanac helped pick to sell well. I'll be buying this ASAP

Goddamn they are on a friggin roll

[Bluewater34]

Yeah, I'm preordering this the second I get home from work.

I wasn't at Deer Creek in '99, but I hit night 1 of Polaris (6.18) and Riverbend (6.20) that year, and I only remember the Chet. Now, that was 16 years ago and I have a terrible memory, but those were my first and second DMB shows, so I have a better than average recollection of them.

I believe Dave didn't use (or even get) the Martin until right around the time of Listener Supported (late August / early September).

Kick ass
Def didn't havethe Martin at this point
Example, Woodstock he was using the black and natural Chet and that was a month later

I understand the shortcomings of the Chet but theres something about that sound that takes me back. Wish he'd break it out every now and then for some songs

Thanks everyone for the replies, sounds like I have had it completely wrong in my head. I really thought he used it that tour, but I probably made that incorrect conclusion based of LS. Can't seem to find any other band shows where he used it in '99/'00 after doing a quick YouTube search

Didn't some of you guys mention before it was the backup guitar in '00 and made a couple of appearances that year or am I wrong?

It makes no sense, they sound utterly horrendous yet my two favorite tours ('95/ fall '98) wouldn't be the same without it. Something about that muddy flat tone that cuts through everything gave those shows such an energetic feel, and such a unique sound

[celluloid hero]

The Chet sounds perfect on Wynona.

[Fan#41]

Nice! Very psyched for this one.

[torres]

Chet showed up on Jimi, 7/12/2000. It started the song but Dave switches during Boyd's second solo.

Yeah, I could be wrong, but I remember the Martin and that huge walnut-toned 12 string being the principle guitars in 2000, with the Chet as a backup.

As someone pointed out, for 99 I'm surprised only 3 btcs songs across 3 discs. Small gripe. Will be buying.

That's what made it a stand out show in 1999, though. You got the rarities for 1999 like Typical, Granny, Jane, Wynona, Proudest and Nancies because the sets weren't full of BTCS. Honestly more BTCS would have made the bonus disc if it wasn't for You Know Who. It is a shame that a 99 release couldn't have Pig.

All the more reason for a good '02 release with Pig soon.

The Martin got some play in August '99. Pretty sure it was used at Hartford, but not sure how much. It already got replaced by the Taylor 714 in 2000 with the Chet still getting some play.
