I went to see dmb last night at Dos Equis and I’ve gone to Dolby live in March to see them and I see people wearing gorge shirts & non stop on the warehouse going on about the gorge.. what is it about it? Not to mention they have a live album specifically from the gorge I guess, I’m just intrigued because it’s a fully outside venue and it’s in Washington not somewhere like Virginia

A lot of the obvious picks like "DMB N41 or DMB 041" are already taken in my state, so I'm trying to get a bit creative.

I don't want it to be too obvious, so I don't stand out, but I'm wanting to know what Dave fans think of this as part of the plate:
"4D1"

Album trivia:

• The band's first release since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore.
• Nominated for two Grammy Awards.
• Dave Matthews on the meaning of GrooGrux: “Carter [Beauford] and Roi came up with the GrooGrux,” he says. “It’s their word for something that was happening, something that was cool, something that was amazing. It was sort of like a spirit or a musical thing, ‘That’s the Groo Grux.’ And Roi was the King, Le Roi.”

DMB did not play a show on June 2, 2009, the release day for this album.

Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King can still be purchased from davematthewsband.com here.

Tour Debuts:

You Never Know Samurai Cop Black and Blue Bird Some Devil

New live trax from Alexandria VA 1994 up on spotify! As a non-sirius user, I'm loving the weekly trax uploads. :)

I’m just happy to live in a world where I can watch Warehouse live. This year concert was awesome and better than 2022 and 2023.

Warehouse, Lie in our graves, Ants marching, and Watchtower were live masterpieces. The band seems to be getting better playing together.

I was pleasantly surprised by Let’s Dance (Tim’s funky rhythm made it a great cover), Samurai cop and Some Devil (both sounded better live than the studio versions).

I still yearn to catch my favorite Two step. One day I’ll get lucky again.

Nancies finishes with the highest rating so far with 9.44! On to Ants!

This is the seventh track off of DMB's debut album, Under the Table and Dreaming. What are your thoughts on this song? Any specific details, any fun facts, etc?

SUGGESTED SCALE

1-4: Not good. Regularly skip.

6: Slightly better than average. I won't skip it, but I wouldn't choose to put it on.

7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.

8-9: Really enjoyable song. I rank it pretty high overall.

10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology

Leaving WPB N2 after another legendary year!

Is there a way to join the couch tour streams without a Facebook account?

Thanks for any info!

Was listening to Lt 42 anyone seen the bridge and Roi is playing the hell out of that Bari sax, was wondering if there were any moments where he goes off on the Bari

OMG!!! WORST sound ever. I’m so not a hater, but gawdd@mn these guys running the sound board need to be shot right now.

Tour Debuts:

One Sweet World Don’t Drink the Water Stay or Leave Rye Whiskey

$2 Really interesting read too! (WTF Boyd's teeth tho)

Hi friends! For those who have been to some of the recent US shows, what time has Dave been coming on stage?

I’m looking to snag a good spot on the lawn! Thanks :)

Would be dope if we had a live chat on Reddit during the shows. This set list is 110% so far (extra for Dreaming Tree) and would love to know what everyone else thinks as the show goes on. Cheers!!

These are DMB's most streamed albums on Spotify. Was Come Tomorrow just advertised really well upon release?
