Seeing just the five of these guys, pure and undistracted by the lovely ladies or Butch, is the DMB experience at its best.Įxcellent Show! First DMB concert indoors since Worcester '98 and I was looking forward to the show. Dave stayed on stage a couple minutes longer and actually fell face down and venerated the crowd. Finished the set with WWYS and extra jam time for LeRoi. The lyrics fashioned themselves "Everyday I love you, Everyday. Dave introduced it as a "kind of country tune." When they started playing #41, I waited with great anticipation for the Everyday outro. True Reflections was standard, and Grace Is Gone was at its melancholy, bittersweet best. Cortez the Killer was a serious highlight for me. Gave those kids with lousy views a thrill. During the jam in Rapunzel Dave danced his way all over the stage. After Jimi, Dave cast a finger towards the sound booth, gave props to Fenton, the original sound man for the band. Carter and Boyd seemed to enjoy watching Dave's portion. That's really really developed and evolved into something wonderful. It was standard until Dave's solo at the end. Mentally I had asked Santa Matthews for neither Satellite nor Jimi Thing tonight. Belted out "spring sweet rhythm" where "together share this smile" usually goes. Dave was struggling with the lyrics for the first half of the song. Then the boys slowed the pace with Lover Lay Down. SMTS to ASTB to Too Much- I've seen this trilogy a bunch of times in concert, and it never gets old. Can I say that? Well, it gets better each time I hear it. BOWA kept the energy up, and the jam at the end of JTR practically got me aroused. Went straight into DIDO, reminiscent of Hartford over the summer. The Stone opening was terrific, although Dave had to try starting it three times because of the noise from this Boston crowd. Now onto the show, quite satisfactory as it was. This is the IceMan signing off.P-Out.įoremost, let me thank the middle-aged, moderately intoxicated woman sitting in front on me for the superfluous amusement she offered as she danced something like Elaine from 'Seinfield' throughout the night. Sorry the review is so long, but there is "so much to say." Ok, that was stupid. Give me Great Woods or the Meadows in Hartford with a lawn so I can dance like an idiot and I'm a happy man. Crowd was definetly not involved, which is sometimes the case in the arena shows. On my scale of 1-10, I would give it a solid 8. Finally, after a ripper Stefan solo, Watchtower closed the show. Christmas Song, for the holidays, of course, with the Beatles outro, which I also thought was awesome. Without Popper, What Would you Say sounds different, but not bad. The outro had Dave singing ".everyday." which led me to believe that this may be in reference to a cut on the new CD, titled Everyday. I blew my lid off when I heard #41, and I almost lost my voice singing backup. Grace has to be one of my faves of the "new ones," and this made me miss my girl.but enough about me. It was awesome, and I hope it makes it onto the new disc. I didn't know what came next, but thanks to the big save by my boy Flyin' Chris, I now know that this stunner was Cortez. I was happy, and it made the fans happy too. ![]() Pantala into Rapunzel is standard arena-concert fare, yet it went off like it was the first time I had ever heard it. He turned and laughed to his bandmates, while continuing with the song. Lover Lay Down was plagued by Dave screw ups, as he blatantly messed up the lyrics. The Little Baby Jam was the best part, when it segued into Too Much, which in itself kicked tail. So Much to Say is always a good one, but the Beantown crowd was not dancing in the aisles, as they should have been. JTR wasn't bad at all, especially with that cool outro, but I like John the Revelator better, probably b/c it has that damn chorus that I scream to myself while sitting in traffic. I was psyched for such a good opener, but secretly wanted to hear Blue Water for once in my pathetic life, but it didn't happen. Much of the crowd, espcially in the upper decks was seated for most of the show, and kicking up the chronic. Show was good, very chilled out and mellow, and the crowd felt it too. Nothing but unobstructed views, even in the nosebleeds. First off, gotta say that there is no bad seat in the Fleet.
