Ticket prices have crashed....

You can easily get great/good seats under $200 for most shows, probably going to dip below $100 for certain shows.

Some shows are doing exceptionally well but the vast majority are middle of the road and this isn't a middle of the road band when it comes to putting meats in the seats.

The real pain for the concert industry is next year, they just trained the entire country not to buy tix when they go on sale outside a select few acts/markets.

All of this is sad, I feel ripped off, people will be sitting next to us who paid half price in likely one of the premier DMB tour stops, WPB. The Friday show likely is dead forever come next year.

If you are a fan but was priced out, go look at all the shows within a few hours drive, you can likely snag great seats on the cheap, find a cheap motel and jam out.

Official DMB Central Park Sign

I wanted to share my official Central Park sign on here from when DMB played in 2003. I got it on Facebook marketplace along with a lot of other really incredible concert signage from someone who worked for the production company that helped put on the show.

Supposedly this was one of the entrance signs to Central Park that Mayor Bloomberg had swapped out for the show. Now it lives in the wall in my home studio.

The Wharf

Pumped for the show. Bringing my son on a little graduation road trip. I worry about the set, though. It's Memorial Day, so I figure it'll have a special energy, but it's also Monday after a big rest before the next leg of the tour and there are lots of tickets left... what y'all think?

Edwin Starr’s anthem

Would love to hear DMB cover Edwin Starr’s incredible song “War”. Made for this band. And if there was ever a time, it would be now.

Any Kurt Vonnegut Fans Here???

Eat, Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die! Discovered this quote in one of Kurt Vonnegut’s many masterpieces, Cat’s Cradle, not only a few days after hearing Tripling Billies for the 3rd or 4th time and finally having it click that time on my camping trip

Any other DMB fans into who I believe to be the greatest author of the 20th century?

Cha Cha love

I loved Cha Cha in 2023 when it debuted, and seeing it in Charlotte Saturday, man it is so good. It seems more polished than it did originally, which is great. Just loving this song, the vibe, the lyrics. I am hoping it sticks around in the rotation. I also love that Dave has said (many times) that the song is called Cha Cha but that it continues to be called Only Takes a Moment on the website. That's it, just putting love out there for this song!

Also I saw (somewhere on the internet) someone thought it was about dead grandparents but I hear more of pining and lost love and wanting to be over someone but not being over them. Interesting how different people interpret songs differently (like I'll Back You Up...but that's a different discussion entirely.)

Vinyl Release

Can anyone help me understand how DMB chooses when to release their vinyl records of Live Trax? I was at the Alpharetta show (DMB Live Trax Vol. 71: 07/25/2023 - Ameris Bank Amphitheatre) a few years ago and it was incredible so when I saw that the warehouse had the CD option I ordered it. But when will the vinyl be released and / or available on Spotify? Any ideas?

Last night in Charlotte…

Magic begins at the 24 second mark…I’ve scene SRV do it, and BB, and John…now, I’ve seen Dave do it (live) and it was seamless (and amazing)!

Fantastic show for me! #113

New Song "Paper Town"

This is fantastic. He channeled his inner John Prine, snuck in some Rye Whiskey lyrics, and had some help from Casey Driessen with some beautiful violin accompaniment. And I'm sure this is the point, but it made me aware of the Papertown documentary and now I want to watch it once it's released.
