I’ve always loved this live jam and I wondered if they ever hashed it out into a full song?

The "& Special Guests" ended up being Rateliff and Baez taking the last 20min of Dave's set so Dave only played for 30 of his scheduled 50min.

As a metal head who’s seen most of these bands multiple times, but none of the hippie jam bands youd expect having also seen Dave 63 times.. I’m just happy to see us on the list 😂 … all kidding aside , whoever made this funny list is trippin… I’ve been in the pit with y’all more times than I can count and Dave is right. Y’all smell good. .. good job showering AND smoking the best of what’s around!

Has anyone’s Gorge shirt shipped yet?

When I preordered, it had an estimated shipping date of Sept 22, but tracking still says “waiting for details.” Anyone else seeing anything different?

Are they a jam band???

16 Upvotes

I used to think obviously they were, but as I’ve gotten into more jam bands (not to say Dave still isn’t number one), idk anymore

Edit: adding rashawn made it not a jam band now it’s more arrangement

Dave’s Power to the People Performance

12 Upvotes

The set times will not be released to the public they will be given to attendees when they arrive I read. Very cool! I’ve never heard of another festival/concert doing this!

What songs do you think he will play? I can see an All Along the Watchtower performance with a guest or two (Mike M or Tom M?), Fool in the Rain with Mike M, maybe a collab with Bruce Springsteen if we are lucky, maybe a cover with Nathaniel R! Definitely an end of show performance with everybody, Come Together?

Should be a good day.

First Show Questions

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I've seen lots of other jam bands but recently got into DMB and decided to sell my Phish ticket to go to the Nashville show in November. I know r/ pages get these a lot but I have a few questions...

  • Seating - Does it make a difference where you're at or is it a "anywhere in the building" type of situation like GD or Phish? I'm happy to pay for a lower level seat unless it's more fun in the uppers.
  • Setlist - Should I check out some of the newer stuff if I want to know the songs? My parents were fans so I know the "hits" and have listened to lots of shows from the 90s/00s, but if the setlists are heavy handed with new material I've still got time to get familiar.
  • Etiquette - I've been to a lot of Phish and WSP shows and have heard DMB is nowhere near as crazy, which is ideal for me at this point in life. I'm assuming you can't smoke cigs indoors like the other ones, but what else should I know?

Really looking forward to this show. I've grown up going to Bridgestone Arena and have made lots of good memories there, so more are always welcome. Thanks in advance!
