DMB Live series
I just did a search and realized there's no thread on this. DMB is releasing a series of live shows (ala Live Phish) through their website. Just wanted to get the info out there for any fans that didn't know about it. You can order them as cd's or as downloads.
I just got the first show and it's pretty sweet. Very mellow, jazzy sound on most of the songs, plus Tim Reynolds and Bela Fleck step in for some songs. Here's the setlist for the first release (12.8.98 Centrum, Worcester, MA):
DISC 1
01 - Seek Up
02 - Linus and Lucy
03 - Pantala Naga Pampa > Rapunzel
04 - Satellite
05 - Don't Drink the Water
06 - Jimi Thing
07 - Stay (Wasting Time)
DISC 2
01 - #41
02 - So Much To Say > Anyone Seen the Bridge?
03 - Too Much
04 - Drive In, Drive Out
05 - Tripping Billies
06 - I'll Back You Up
07 - The Last Stop
I've got the 2nd show (9.12.2004 Golden Gate Park, San Francisco) on pre-order (http://stores.musictoday.com/store/d...34&band_id=623) so maybe that'll get here by Christmas.
Setlist for 2nd show:
One Sweet World
What would you Say
So Much to Say -> Rapunzel
Joy Ride
#41
Best of What's Around
Lie In Our Graves
The Stone
Drive In Drive Out
Loving Wings
Where Are You Going
Hello Again
Jimi Thing
Warehouse
Sugar Will
All Along the Watchtower
Stay
Encore:
Everyday
Too Much
Joy Ride and Sugar Will are new songs that'll be on the next album, so I'm pretty excited about hearing them.

Yeah, I thought about getting one of these. The thing is, the past couple live albums they've released have been mediocre (The Gorge, Central Park) to downright horrible (Folsom Field). I just wonder about plunking down 10-15 dollars to hear something similar to what I already have.
The Golden Gate Park show has been called pretty mediocre as well (according to the reviews that I've heard). I've heard the new songs, and they're not too bad. Again, I just wonder if the sound/performance quality will be any better than the average shn or mp3 that you can download online for free.

And yes, DMB live songs tend to run pretty long (especially songs like 41, Lie In Our Graves, Seek Up). Sometimes that's a really good thing, sometimes not so much.

As for the sound quality, the first release was incredible. The mix was outstanding and I would expect the GGP show to be just as good. Don't forget that Santana guests on a few songs so it should be pretty solid show to have.

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on the discs. I am a big fan but I rarely if ever frequent the website. So this is the first that I heard of discs, and will most likely be picking them up soon. Just a question for the die-hards out there. I came across the 6 disc version of "the Gorge" does anyone have a set list for all three nights, or know where I can find out what went down.

I found a link to where it's sold, but there wasn't any setlist info. You can try antsmarching.org. They have a forum that almost as big as dvdtalk. A search there would probably pull up an old thread about it.
Personally, I wouldn't spend my money on the set. I bought the 2 disc of The Gorge, and wasn't that impressed. It felt like there was something missing from it. LiveTrax Vol. 1 and the Central Park set are far superior to The Gorge, IMO. LiveTrax Vol. 2 is decent, but nothing spectacular.

go to www.nancies.org and, more specifically, www.nancies.org/tour for your DMB tour date/setlist needs.

They are packaged in digipack. Vol.3 looks good. I didn't get vol. 2 because I wasn't that impressed with the show. For the older shows they are really digging out some gems.
If any of you want some lossless recordings I might be able to help out. Many of the older shows are available as soundboard recordings for free(they stopped allowing soundboard recordings in 1996).

I've been tempted by these several times, I consider myself a huge DMB fan, seen them live a number of times, I'll be driving from south florida to New Orleans to see them play at the NO Jazz Fest at the end of April, however I find that I enjoy fan recordings so much more than their official releases. Practically 90%+ of their shows are available via community trading and there's so much more to hear than these few official releases they put out. You'll never see a Blue Water Baboon Farm or Hold Me Down on an official release...

Not live, but it made it certainly provided some popularity for the song, whereas if you don't have any early recordings (pre-94), you pretty much would only have had a very slight chance of hearing a tease. I'd love to see an official release with some of the older songs but I'm not sure they want to bring those songs back into the light, there's a reason for something or another why a lot of songs stopped getting played.

I'd love to hear a good recording of the show they played with the orchestra (I think it was around V'tines day 95 or 96). The copy I heard was barely audible.

The show released as Vol. 1 should be required listening for a DMB fan, regardless of whether you pay for it or find a recording of it somewhere. Butch Taylor adds so much to the band. I'd say it's the best commercially-released show out there right now. Well... tied for 1st with Central Park. Vol. 2 isn't nearly as good.
I'm stoked for Vol. 3. A lot of people over at antsmarching.org place in their top 10 for best show ever.
fliggil- you've got me curious now about those 2 songs you mentioned. I don't think I've ever heard of them. Got any recmmendations on a good show I can hunt down with those songs?
