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. |
It takes 2 discs for 14 songs? How long are these songs?

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. |

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. |

I'm waiting for a show with more new songs. They played 5 new ones when I saw them in July.

I don't think they are going to release another "new" show (circa 2004) for quite a while. A show from the 2000 summer tour or 1997 tour would be awesome.
|
for those of you who've ordered the first set from DMB.com...can you post some pics of the art and packaging? i've been wondering how they'd package these. i was hoping for a digipak or even a jewel case but am expecting a gatefold cardboard sleeve. just curious.

Live Trax Vol. 3...

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. |
Thanks for the info.

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? |
Audience recordings vary greatly in quality. I've heard some that sound spectacular.
Tom, I can hook you up with those songs. Also here's my dmb list if you want a particular show. |

If it's cool with the admins I can host some non-commercial live songs on my webspace for you all.
