I went with Steve on a beautiful sunny day in June. We arrived a little late to Giants Stadium plus we tailgated in the parking lot for a while which was a lot of fun. As a result, unfortunately, we missed seeing Ben Folds Five, and most of Beck, but the show was still a lot of fun. The band played a fantastic set list. Our seats were okay. We were high up and off to the side but still had a rocking time. Highlights for me included the opener of The Best of What s Around, the first song I ever heard from Dave Matthews Band. Rapunzel, Crush, and Don t Drink the Water all sounded amazing! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 2

3 A great intro to Recently with I ve seen the lights on Broadway version was fantastic. In addition, Big Voice Jack Lerole from South Africa came out and played penny whistle on his song Back to Alexandra. It definitely was different and interesting. After that, they played So Much to Say connected to a funky instrumental jam titled Anyone Seen the Bridge? which then went directly into Too Much. It sounded amazing! Big Voice Jack would come out again for the song Pig adding a neat penny whistle to this already awesome song. An excellent version of Jimi Thing really jammed and rocked which would lead into a unique performance of For the Beauty of Wynona, a Daniel Lanois cover song. Then DMB did two amazing songs with Tripping Billies and Two Step which both were excellent! The final song of the set, Stay (Wasting Time) was so catchy that I was still singing it all the way from the stadium to the parking lot, and into the next day. A great encore ended the show, as DMB played two fan favorites, Crash Into Me, which was beautiful, and their excellent and jamming rendition of All Along the Watchtower which rocked Giants Stadium! Overall, I could not ask for a better first show! Show # 2: May 22, 1999 Veterans Stadium Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Opening Band: The Roots, Santana 1. One Sweet World (Instrumental intro) 2. Tripping Billies (Nature intro) 3. Don't Drink the Water * (includes long prelude) 4. Two Step * 5. All Along the Watchtower ** (Bob Dylan cover) 6. Granny ^ 7. Crush 8.

4 SHOW NOTES: * Bela Fleck ** Carlos Santana ^ Tawatha Agee, Cindy Myzell, and Brenda White King (The Lovely Ladies) Entire show with Butch Taylor on keyboards Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: I went with Steve and Jim on a beautiful sunny day in May. I remember that the tailgating was great! We had a fun time in the Veterans Stadium parking lot prior to the show. The concert was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed One Sweet World, Tripping Billies, Don t Drink the Water, and Two Step to open up the show! A great highlight was Carlos Santana playing with them on a tremendous version of All Along the Watchtower! It really rocked! Granny, Crush, and Rapunzel all were terrific, while Warehouse was amazingly done and quite possibly my favorite song of the night. Lie in Our Graves sounded awesome and was pure magic with guest Bela Fleck and an outstanding violin solo by Boyd Tinsley. The set ended with a superb rendition of Drive in Drive Out. DMB came back out for the encore and played an excellent version of Ants Marching to end this fun day and night seeing DMB live at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia! Show # 3: July 16, 2000 Veterans Stadium Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Opening Band: Ozomatli, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals 1. Ants Marching 2. Satellite 3. Drive In, Drive Out 4. Granny + 5. Grey Street 6. Crush 7. Warehouse (stop time intro) 8. So Much to Say 9. Lover Lay Down 10. Jimi Thing 11. #36 + My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 4

5 12. JTR The Best of What's Around Two Step 15. Tripping Billies ENCORE Digging a Ditch 17. (Heartbeat Intro) Pantala Naga Pampa 18. Rapunzel SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Butch Taylor on keyboards + Brenda, Cindy & Tawatha on vocals (The Lovely Ladies) Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: This show would end up being the last music concert I would ever see at the old Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and the last time DMB would perform there. DMB kicked off the show with Ants Marching which was very surprising and amazing! A beautiful rendition of Satellite followed that, a song that seemed so appropriate for the weather conditions we had. I really enjoyed the performances of Crush, Warehouse, So Much to Say, and Jimi Thing but it was the last three songs of the set that stole the show for me, The Best of What s Around, a great version of Two Step, and an amazing rendition of Tripping Billies. I remember thinking to myself that there is no way they could top that in an encore. However, DMB came back out and played an amazing performance of Pantala Naga Pampa and Rapunzel which completely blew me away! It was a brilliant encore to end a brilliant concert.

I thought Stay was a terrific opener, as well as, excellent versions of Crush, The Stone, and Don t Drink the Water. Other highlights of the show included a nice version of Bartender, Fool To Think, and a beautiful Dancing Nancies. After a great All Along The Watchtower, it was nice to hear Spoon live for the first time and thought they did a great version of it, which segued into Ants Marching which rocked to end the set. The encore included a beautiful version of The Maker and a terrific rendition of Tripping Billies, which really ended this concert on a good note.

I drove my Acura Integra. I thought "Granny" as a great opener! It was so wonderful to hear, "Hello how are you doing today?" to open up a DMB summer concert! One Sweet World, Pig, and Satellite all sounded beautiful tonight as well. DMB played five new songs tonight: Hello Again, Sugar Will, Joyride, Good Good Time, and Crazy Easy. My favorite of out of all them was Hello Again which I though really jammed and rocked with Carter on drums. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 8

9 Other highlights included an excellent Lie in Our Graves and When The World Ends, plus fantastic versions of The Song That Jane Likes, Warehouse, So Much To Say, Rhyme and Reason, and another outstanding scat outro rendition of Too Much. DMB played All Along the Watchtower for only the second time this tour and they took it to a different planet! The whole band jammed and really shined on this song and it was one of the best versions I ever witnessed. The encore provided superb versions of the classic Crash Into Me and a dancing, happy version of Everyday with the #36 outro. It was a great ending to a great concert in mid-july in Camden, New Jersey. Show # 7: July 5, 2005 (07/05/05) Tweeter Center Camden, NJ Opening Act: G Love and Special Sauce 1.

What You Are SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Butch Taylor on keyboards + Butch, Dave solo Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: Of all the DMB shows I have been to, this was one of my favorites. I went with Rob for the second summer in a row. I drove my Acura Integra. Tailgating was fun in the parking lot. The crowd was energized and rowdy, and was one of the most rocking shows I have ever seen DMB play. I thought "The Stone" was a terrific opener, and they followed that up with an awesome version of American Baby which is one of my favorites from the Stand Up album. Grey Street sounded excellent tonight as well, along with a lovely rendition of Lover Lay Down done brilliantly with LeRoi Moore on saxophone. A fantastic version of Hello Again sounded great, as did Dreamgirl which went into the classic "Ants Marching". A groovy version of Smooth Rider was a lot of fun, and good versions of Where Are You Going and Hunger for the Great Light followed. A great highlight of the night was Typical Situation with another outstanding solo by saxophone player LeRoi Moore. Then, the entire crowd stood up for a rocking version of Stand Up. A great version of Everyday followed and kept everyone dancing. Then DMB played an unbelievable version of "Louisiana Bayou which ended up being my favorite song of the night. They really jammed on that song and I could not stop dancing! The set would end with a tremendous version of Too Much which made the crowd explode with lots of dancing and singing! The encore contained a jamming rendition of another Stand Up song, You Might Die Trying which was followed by a haunting version of What You Are. DMB came to play tonight and overall, they played a fun and energetic set throughout and I loved every second of it. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 10

Ants Marching * (snare intro) SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Butch Taylor on keyboards * Rashawn Ross on trumpet ~ Dave solo Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: I went with Christine. I drove my Mom s Toyota Camry wagon. A cloudy rainy night did not stop me from enjoying the staple of the summer - seeing DMB live! The band played their hearts out. "Don't Drink the Water" was a fantastic opener along with a beautiful version of Pig, as I looked up into the cloudy Philadelphia skyline from the lawn. In addition, I enjoyed hearing Proudest Monkey and Satellite, which seemed appropriate for the weather conditions this evening. After a nice version of Crash Into Me, Boyd Tinsley played a fantastic, ripping violin solo on "Lie in our Graves. "Jimi Thing, Grey Street, and then So Much to Say into Too Much sounded amazing tonight! DMB was at the top of their game with those renditions. I also enjoyed the new song The Idea of You which was played just before the ending number of You Might Die Trying which would rock Tweeter Center in Camden! The encore included a beautiful solo performance by Dave Matthews of a sweet song named Sister. The band followed that up with an outstanding rendition of "The Dreaming Tree and an energetic "Ants Marching to end the night. Despite the cloudy, rainy weather, DMB never disappoints, and this year, once again, was no exception. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 12

All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover; Stefan solo intro) SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Butch Taylor on keyboards and Rashawn Ross on trumpet + Dave solo Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: I went with Rob on a very hot, steamy, and sweaty day and night in early August. I drove my Mom s Toyota Camry wagon. This was a fantastic show! From the very old to the very new and not much in-between, DMB grooved the whole night on this hot and sweaty night in Camden, New Jersey. Two Step was an outstanding opener, as we entered the gate, hot and sweaty, along with everybody else, trying to find a good place to sit on the lawn. "Loving Wings followed, and was a pleasant and enjoyable treat. The new songs #27, Cornbread, Sweet Up and Down, and Shotgun sounded really good and tight. One of the true highlights of the evening was Boyd Tinsley's amazing violin solo in "Lie in Our Graves" which practically stole the show! It was breathtaking and I absolutely loved it! The set ended with an unbelievable selection of songs that included a fantastic "Too Much, an excellent Jimi Thing, a brilliant Warehouse and a superb version of "Ants Marching! It was amazing! The encore began with a solo performance by Dave on "Gravedigger. This was the first time I heard this song live and in person before and it was beautiful. Truly amazing versions of "American Baby Intro" and All Along the Watchtower followed and the passion and emotion of Dave's screams in both songs left me breathless! Overall, this was a very wonderful show from a very special and wonderful band and one of my favorites! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 14

Tripping Billies (Nature intro) * SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Tim Reynolds on guitar * Rashawn Ross on trumpet ~ Dave, Tim, Carter and Rashawn + No Horns Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: I was very curious to what DMB would play tonight without Butch Taylor on keyboards, but instead, with Tim Reynolds on electric guitar. I thought Dreaming Tree was a great opener and beautifully done with LeRoi More on saxophone and Rashawn Ross on trumpet. Gravedigger, Grey Street, and The Maker sounded good, but it was a wonderful version of So Damn Lucky that really got me dancing and would be one of my favorites of the night! DMB would also play a beautiful version of the classic One Sweet World. A truly wonderful surprise was the cover of Pink Floyd s Money. LeRoi Moore played an amazing saxophone and Tim Reynolds did an outstanding guitar solo that blew me away! The energy picked up again with Corn Bread, Louisiana Bayou, and You Might Die Trying, which were really jamming and rocked the house to end the set! They were three outstanding songs! The encore was one of the best, with yet another surprise, an amazing cover of Neil Young s Hey Hey, My My which was followed by a fantastic version of Tripping Billies! It was a great way to end this night on this early trip into the summer tour in Camden, New Jersey! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 16

19 ENCORE Baby Blue The Maker 19. Time Bomb SHOW NOTES: Entire show with Tim Reynolds on guitar, Jeff Coffin on saxophone, and Rashawn Ross on trumpet + Dave Solo MY REVIEW: There is nothing like seeing DMB on a Saturday night on your birthday! Robert Randolph and the Family Band were excellent as an opening band and one of the best opening bands I have ever seen for DMB. DMB was in great form, as always, and played a good set. This would be my first time seeing them without LeRoi Moore on saxophone. I really enjoyed the new album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, and I knew they would play quite a bit from that album. They actually ended up playing ten songs from that album! Funny The Way It Is, was the opener, and a very good one at that. Very good versions of Seven and one of my new favorites, Why I Am followed as the sun was setting on this beautiful day in September. The Best of What s Around followed and sounded terrific. The show really picked up, however, during You Might Die Trying which had me dancing and jamming with Tim Reynolds on guitar, Stefan Lessard on bass, Boyd Tinsley on violin, Rashawn Ross on trumpet, and Jeff Coffin on saxophone. It was breathtaking to say the least. Two songs that I was secretly hoping they would play were Shake Me Like a Monkey and Dancing Nancies, and they both were amazing! To hear those on a beautiful Saturday autumn night on my birthday was just completely awesome! Look up at the sky, its open wide I am so glad they played it. Jeff Coffin has definitely proven to be a great saxophone player. He did not miss a beat for the entire show. Jimi Thing was the set closer, and was nothing short of superb. DMB jammed and jammed all night and provided the crowd with a wonderful rendition of a DMB classic. The encore provided three more songs, two more from Big Whiskey. Dave s solo performance of Baby Blue was beautiful. The Maker and Time Bomb were good as well. It was a wonderful concert, some songs expected, some songs unexpected, but never a disappointment throughout. It was a great night for my 36th birthday!

Tripping Billies SHOW NOTES: * Matt Cappy and Lamont Caldwell, The Roots Horns + Carter, Dave, Stefan, Dave and Tim Indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: I went by myself. I drove my Mom s Volvo. It was my first time back to a DMB concert in two years, since missing both the 2010 tour and the 2011 Caravan tour. It was a beautiful night for a concert! I almost did not go since I could not find anybody to go with me. In fact, I arrived late, and unfortunately, missed the first four songs, including the Shake Me Like A Monkey opener, the slide guitar of Tim Reynolds on Grace is Gone, and You Never Know, which was disappointing. When I arrived, they were in the middle of Satellite but I finally found my seat when they started playing a new song titled If Only which sounded enjoyable and really dug it. I loved having a seat! I loved hearing You Might Die Trying and a wonderful version of Shotgun. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 21

22 After a fine rendition of You and Me, DMB played a brand new song for the first time live this evening titled The Riff and I liked it a lot! Then Dave would dedicate the next song to the GrooGrux King and perform a fantastic version of Why I Am. The set would continue with Dave playing piano on poignant rendition of Out Of My Hands. The show really started rocking with Dancing Nancies and Warehouse. Dave would sing, Could I have been lost somewhere in Camden? and the crowd went wild. An amusing highlight came after Warehouse, when Dave accidentally introduced Rashawn Ross on the saxophone before catching his mistake. He then introduced the other band members on the xylophone, except for Carter who was on the marimba. It was a hilarious moment on stage and the audience absolutely loved it! Jimi Thing really jammed with extra horn players from The Roots plus outstanding solos by Boyd Tinsley on violin, Tim Reynolds on guitar, and the ending outro of Sexy MF mixed in with It s a Jimi thing was truly awesome! I loved it! DMB ended the set with a great version of Everybody Wake Up and an incredible jamming Two Step. The encore was one of the best ever with amazing versions of So Damn Lucky, Halloween, and Tripping Billies! It was an amazing ending to an amazing night! I was thoroughly astonished and exhilarated by their performance tonight! DMB truly has not missed a beat yet and this show was one of their best! I loved it!

I loved the opener of Dreamgirl, which was a pleasant and wonderful surprise, only to be followed by a perfect Drive In Drive Out. I am so glad they played Joyride, which I have not seen DMB do since the 2004 concert, and it was fantastic! DMB played an excellent version of What Would You Say, with Rashawn Ross and Jeff Coffin providing terrific horn solos. Truly outstanding renditions of Crush and JTR followed along with an excellent cover of Led Zeppelin s Good Times Bad Times, which I thought rocked the house! #41 sounded amazing, along with Why I Am, Help Myself, and a beautiful rendition of Mercy with Dave himself on piano on the outro. So Much to Say sounded great, as did a very impressive version of Drunken Soldier which I got to experience live for the first time. DMB played quite possibly the best version of Typical Situation I have ever experienced, and for me was one of the best moments of the night. DMB ended this terrific set with the classic Ants Marching which led into a superb and rocking Halloween! The encore was remarkable and included a terrific reprise of Lie in Our Graves, a magnificent version of Pig, and finally, a jamming, rocking version of Two Step with a Higher Ground interpolation at the end! It was an incredible and fantastic ending to this Saturday night, another superb performance by DMB, an outstanding set list, and certainly one of my favorite concerts by them of all-time!

29 The acoustic set was excellent from start to finish, opening up with a great version of Dave and Tim on Bartender, followed by a surprising, wonderful cover of Paul Simon s Slip Slidin Away. The rest of the band would join in for Pay For What You Get which sounded perfect, as did another cover song; John Denver s Take Me To Tomorrow. So Damn Lucky was amazing with the crowd singing Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin at the end! In addition, Minarets sounded amazing and a mind-blowing Lie In Our Graves ended this extraordinary acoustic set! I loved it! The electric set would be spectacular! The opening with Spaceman into Cornbread was really groovy and outstanding! One of my new favorites, Save Me followed and loved every second of it. A pleasant surprise was Write a Song, a song I never heard live and in person before, but thought it was splendid and really liked it. You also cannot get too much love with Belly Belly Nice, which sounded great! I was so happy they played #41 since I was sitting in section 202, row T, seat #41 and it really sounded excellent with every band member shining on this and every song that was played tonight. I loved it! A fantastic Grey Street, with an extended, rocking jam at the end, and a beautiful rendition of Say Goodbye followed and both were marvelous! Good Good Time, which I have not heard since 2004, was another pleasant, wonderful surprise and had forgotten how good of a song it is. I really liked it. An outstanding performance of Jimi Thing, once again allowed all band members to shine tonight, including Dave Matthews himself, who improvised and provided some wild noises and lovely scat singing of his own to make this a truly epic version. The set would end with Granny, which was quite surprising, wonderful and all-together brilliant! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 29

30 The encore provided the audience with a beautiful version of the classic hit, Crash Into Me, which would only be followed by an outstanding rendition of Two Step that jammed and really rocked the house! I loved every second of it! This was an epic performance by DMB and one of their best shows ever in Camden, New Jersey! I loved both acoustic and electric sets, and the way each band member shined on every song. This easily could have been the best DMB show I have ever experienced!

Rapunzel SHOW NOTES: * Dave and Tim + The Lovely Ladies indicates segue into next song MY REVIEW: It was a beautiful day in the San Francisco bay area and a great night for a DMB concert! I went with my sister Beth (Zenya) for what was her first DMB concert. The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California is a fantastic place to see a show! I was very impressed with the venue and the scenery of the San Francisco Bay in the background. The acoustic set was good with Stay or Leave as the opener featuring just Dave and Tim. Nice versions of Satellite, One Sweet World and Sweet followed. Once again, I was able to hear Crash into Me, this time in the acoustic set, and it still sounded pleasant after all these years. One of the highlights of the night for me was an awesome bluesy acoustic version of Rhyme & Reason. Tim Reynolds did an amazing guitar solo that just blew me away and was one of the best songs of the night! DMB played Recently, which sounded great, with every band member shining and jamming on this old classic. Then another fine performance of Ants Marching concluded the acoustic set on this Saturday night in beautiful Berkeley, California. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 33

34 The electric set kicked off with #41, one of my favorite DMB songs. When the World Ends followed and it sounded excellent! It has been awhile since I have experienced that song live and it was terrific! Another highlight of the night for me was an awesome version of Rooftop! It really rocked the Greek Theatre! Digging a Ditch, sounded beautiful tonight as well. Warehouse was also a pleasant surprise by itself which sounded more like the studio version with the intro but would end with an awesome jam and a Louie, Louie interpolation which was a lot of fun! After a nice version of If Only, DMB played a magnificent rendition of Grey Street with an outstanding jam at the end featuring both Rashawn Ross on trumpet and Jeff Coffin on sax. They both really shined on that song and it really rocked! Lover Lay Down sounded beautiful, yet mellow, and was nice to hear again on this lovely night in Berkeley, California. Unexpectedly, Everyday followed and out came the Lovely Ladies! I have not seen DMB perform with them since Boyd Tinsley shined on this song, as did the Lovely Ladies on backing vocals! The song was a lot of fun for this nice night in Berkeley, CA. The Lovely Ladies stayed on stage and provided background vocals for You & Me, and an absolute awesome bluesy version of Can t Stop, which might have been my favorite song of the night, and it was actually the first time I experienced that song for the first time. The set ended finally with the Talking Heads cover Burning Down The House, which sounded great and rocked the house! The encore started with a real nice version of The Space Between, followed by a decent rendition of Granny and then ultimately ending with Pantala Naga Pampa and Rapunzel which I have not experienced since the 2000 tour. It was a good, but not a great encore, in my opinion. My sister and I had a good time at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California for her first DMB show and my first DMB experience on the west coast. DMB did rock the bay area literally. Later that night, approximately 3:30 AM pacific time, a major earthquake hit Napa Valley, and shook the whole San Francisco bay area region. I experienced my first earthquake! I guess DMB rocked so hard that they caused an earthquake! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 34

Shake Me Like A Monkey SHOW NOTES: * Dave Solo + Carter, Dave, Stefan and Tim ~ The Lovely Ladies indicates a segue into next song MY REVIEW: It was a crappy, cloudy, rainy, and stormy day. It rained the whole time. I went with Dan, Carol, and Wendy. I drove my nautical blue 2012 Toyota Corolla S. The acoustic set included excellent versions of The Needle and the Damage Done, The Stone, plus an outstanding Typical Situation, and Stay or Leave. The electric set featured the opener of Don t Drink the Water, an excellent version of Crush, Rapunzel, and The Best of What s Around. Songs Rooftop, Can t Stop, and Stay were just okay. I did not care for the encore too much with was I thought a lackluster performance of The Space Between and Shake Me Like a Monkey. Sadly, this was definitely not one of my favorite concerts from DMB. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 38

I met some fellow DMB fans on the train and they offered me a beer from their cooler. I then met up with my DMB friends Elaine along with her friends and Dan and Carol were in the same parking lot too. It was a lot of fun tailgating and the weather was perfect! I hung out in the lawn with Elaine and her friends just prior to the show starting where I went down to my seat in section 203. I then met another DMB friend from Facebook in Peggy Anne! My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 40

41 The show kicked off with an awesome version of Squirm as the weekend opener! It would be followed by the most unbelievable and amazing version of Seek Up. All band members including Boyd Tinsley, Jeff Coffin, and Rashawn Ross really shined and it was the best version I had ever heard. That song flat out blew me away tonight. Seven sounded great, as was Fool To Think which I have not heard in a long while sounded cool. #41 sounded beautiful tonight as did the song debut of Plastic Girl. I thought it was very good. When The World Ends and The Best of What s Around sounded terrific tonight as well, as did Dancing Nancies, which did not segue into Warehouse even though it was played after but with the usual intro. Jeff Coffin played another great solo for Lover Lay Down. A new song DMB debuted on this tour that I was able to hear tonight was Samurai Cop which I also liked a lot. Grey Street, You and Me, and an awesome Pantala Naga Pampa into Rapunzel ended the set. The encore provided terrific versions of Pig and All Along The Watchtower! It was an insane set list and an awesome time! Show # 18: June BB&T Pavilion Camden, NJ My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 41

We stopped at Boyd s Pharmacy in Bordentown, NJ to pick up tailgating supplies (see pictures below). Luckily, we met up with Elaine and her friends again in the parking lot to tailgate. It was a terrific time. My DMB TOUR SET LISTS & CONCERT REVIEWS by Glen Moon Page 42

43 I saw another terrific show, this time with Wendy and Beth next to me. We sang and danced all night! Overall, it was not quite as good as Friday night 1 but it was still awesome! Highlights for me included One Sweet World, Belly Belly Nice, and an amazing rendition of Crush. The Song That Jane Likes, and a great version of Why I Am rocked the house as I thought about how great LeRoi Moore was and I m sure he was there in spirit. In addition, I loved You Might Die Trying and Don t Drink The Water tonight as well. I saw almost all of Jimi Thing when Wendy wasn t feeling good so unfortunately we had to leave and ended up missing Sexy M.F., as well as the encore of "Granny," "Ants Marching," and "Halloween." I was definitely disappointed. Nevertheless, I am very grateful I was able to spend two nights in Camden seeing my favorite band and hanging out with all of my DMB friends!
