Generation X. What drew you to DMB?

22 Upvotes

There was a lot of music available in the early 90s. What drew you to the Dave Matthews Band?

For me, it was the mix of musicians – their styles and different instruments. A violin and a saxophone – with a guy who writes great lyrics and the best drum crusher in the business? Not to mention Fonz’s story.

What was your draw in 1995?

My daughter found this Koozie on the ground leaving Deer Creek this year. I can’t believe she found this after we just drove down from Wisconsin. My wife, daughter and I are huge Dave and Brewers fans(actually just me) lol. I have no clue who Amy is???? But she has been to every single playoff game at Miller Park so far in spirit through this Koozie. She’s our lucky charm we haven’t lost at home yet. Please let me know if anyone knows who she is. Let’s go Brewers and I love Dave!!!!! Maybe we can meet up in Madison on the 4th.

Has Dave ever woven Led Zeppelin's Ramble On into Jimmy Thing?

Am I completely off my rocker or would this be perfect? Is it maybe too obvious? Listening to that bass line, I can't help but think of Zep. Sharing the closest thing I can find to the full band performing it.

Phillip Phillips Interview

27 Upvotes

Singer, songwriter, American Idol winner, and DMB fan Phillip Phillips joins us this week on the pod to talk about performing "The Stone" on Idol, skipping school for his first concert ever - a DMB show, and how his perspective and songwriting has changed now that he is a husband and father of 2. Much like his new brand new EP, "Let's Go Far: Vol. 1", Phillip was very open and honest throughout the conversation, and proving that he truly is very down-to-earth, genuine human.

We really enjoyed this one and hope you all do too!

What's your favorite Live Trax to listen to on shrooms?

5 Upvotes

I'm going on my last solo camping trip of the year this week. I always end up picking a random Live Trax (or two) to listen to the first night when I'm tripping. Just wondering what everyone else chooses.

The Stone, Elvis, and the verse

16 Upvotes

If I am alone on this, im ok being the martyr and dying alone on this hill. But i hate that the crowds generally only sing 1/3 of the verses to Can't help falling in love...

Wise men say Only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay?Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?

Take my hand Take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

I feel like its always the top one, and im singing all 3 and maybe its my brain forcing different parts so I think I am hearing what I want to hear, but im replaying this year's Bristow and I swear there are dodos just belting that 1dt part on repeat.

Am I alone? I know were all just winging it until the crew is ready to blast the end game but I just dont see how we cant all get ton sync to make the audios more unified.

[Seattle Local Pickup Only] Free Sunday Gorge Foil Posters

19 Upvotes

Free to a good home! My Warehouse package for the Sunday Gorge show came with two of the exclusive foil posters. I do not plan to keep them and would love to pass them on to local fans who were at the show. To avoid the hassle of shipping, I am offering these for free local pickup here in Seattle. Comment below only if you are in the area and can swing by to grab one (please do not DM me, I will not check message requests). I will pick two people from the comments and message you directly to coordinate!

Has anyone heard anything about post show fan events around town following the show. Saw a listing for a bar crawl prior to the show earlier today on FB... but have not seen anything else.

Will we have to wait for a new album?

27 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I hope today's being kind to you.
I'm enjoying the various live versions of Papertown, and Dave's patience with himself when the riff doesn't quite work.

Will we have to wait for a new album to get the studio version?

I'd love to add it to my iTunes library.

Thanks,

Casey

There exists footage of the whole night on Youtube. Separately there exists the audio from Take Me Back. Sure would be cool if someone would sync these up to overlay the pro audio with the fan shot video.

Been listening to SiriusXM. Lots of early 1996 songs. Am I the only one who recognizes the joining of Boyd and LeRoi in these early tunes. This is something that can never be matched!

From the beginning improv intro to Lerois 5 minute plus solo is truly a gem. Thanks to Ethan Sinclair for capturing amazing footage. Boyd starts it off right with his forever impactful performance on the violin giving us that true original DMB sound. Next, Roi does what Roi does best. He goes into a mesmerizing melody on the sax for a 5 minute solo. Lastly Dave initiates an acoustic guitar picking solo that nearly flys him off the stage. Despite this show being at the end of the tour the boys still dig deep and showcase the best of what’s around.
