Alright.first show of mine for the year 2002. my 5th show overall. On to the show. Great Venue to see DmB. Very intimate setting with the band. The crowd was a lot more lively than that of the 2001 tour. What Would you say- Great opener got the crowd into the swing of things real quickly. Grey Street- Amazing song. unbelievable. third time hearing it live the first time being back in 2000 and it just keeps getting better. The 12 string sounds so great on this tune. cant wait for the new album. Dave put on the baritone and the high from the previous song instantly died. I called i did it and it was pretty standard not too bad. Would choose about 30 other songs over it tho. Dave started to play a new song and i hadnt a clue. simply beautiful tho. Definetly going to be the next crash/satellite with the line "dream my little darling" echoing throughout the fleet center. I feel honored to be part of the special show in which we were the first people to ever hear that song named You never know. Crush came right out of left field but when stefan hit that first note i knew that we were about to be treated to something special. Incredible version everyone singing at the top of their lungs. Raven is definetly going to be a radio hit off the new album but it is great nonetheless. Jam at the end that i dont remember being there in 2000. Ive been waiting since 99 dreaming and hoping and after Crush i screamed out "Dave surprise me!" and much to my prayers it came. PIG. PIG PIG. by far the highlight of my evening i could have left right after that. it was great to see everyone standing to this song which had vanished from setlists for over 4 years. Dave had an evil smirk on his face as he sung the line "oh its been gone for a few short years but the best is yet to come". I woulda thought Dave would have realized that people hate Sleep to Dream her when everyone left in 2001 to go to the bathroom when this song came on. Grace is Gone. Sweet song realy. Excellently played. Too Much- All i can say is Carter! it was mindboggling to watch his hands fly during this song. Boiyd ripped it up as well. Dave lowered the energy with Busted Stuff. Great slow song that i havent heard live yet. Loved it off lillywhite but was even better live. they added a nice jam at the end which added about 5 minutes to the song. Bartender was great but a little too long. Would have liked to hear Bigeye fish into Bartender but it was still great. The space between i could have done without. The girls liked it. When carter started the drum beat and each member fed off each other i recognized it as the intro to Pantala naga pampa. IT was played just like the version off of Listner Supported. Rapunzel was INSANE! People were going nuts. The energy level was amazing. The energy went straight through the encore break and The new song was great as well. I have a copy of hanover grand of dave solo so i knew it but a full band version was so much better. it lacked a lot of boiyd and Lerio but still great. I knew it was going to be Dont Drink the Water when Dave dropped down to D. I couldnt figure out why he would do this since he has only played three shows and twice has ended with it. Still a lot of energy and a great show. Highlights definetly Too much PIG PIG PIG and rapunzel. Dave has to start mixing it up tho. So many repeated songs from the nights before. Also what happened to the Jams of Yore? Jimi thing, lie in our graves, even recenetly. Also classics like ants, trippin billies, and drive in drive out were oddly left out. Oh well. Ill see you all in Philly and Hartford. Dave looked great and the band was on fire the whole nite. Thanks for a great Night.
