      Cool to see them play something like the Foo Fighters, and they sound pretty good too. I wish more bands would do stuff like this, or do a tour comprised out of 50% covers / 50% rarities.

        Phish plays over 200 songs in a tour between originals and covers….. just saying. But I definitely haven’t seen them over 50 times or anything….. I swear.

          To each their own. I know Portnoy had some kind of formula for DT song rotations depending on what area they were in, not sure if they would’ve kept that with him gone.

          Damn, dude! DMB? What kind of pussy are you? I definitely would never see them over 30 times either….. I swear.

          But really though…. DMB has gotten really gay over the years. I’m done with them.

        • Last album was pretty good, I have high hopes for the new one, the first Steve Lillywhite produced album since Before These Crowded Streets, or the Lillywhite Sessions if you want to get technical

        • DMB and Phish?! That’s infinitely gay on both of your parts. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

          Love em or hate em, DMB is a group just stacked full of talent. Last time I saw them was the shit and I don’t give a fuck if that makes me gay. I had a pocket full of prerolleds, several microbrews and made out with this sexy little blonde stranger during the Jimi Thing jam. I wouldn’t mind attempting to repeat that night soon.

          DMB…Does that stand for Dropping Mad Bombs ? As in throwing tour bus shit over a bridge onto passing boaters.

    • I was a geek in high school. I had really short hair, I played “Dungeons and Dragons”, I had a bug collection, I ate my Boogers. My name’s not Chazz… it’s Chester.

    • I grew up in the DC area and I’d often visit my friends who were attending UVA. I gonna see them this year hopefully tickets prices aren’t too high at Ticketsinventory.com . They were awesome back then, I’d imagine they are even more so today.
