There will be fans out there that have been to some shows with these "shitty" setlists, and really enjoyed them. There may be people who love the stand up and ED albums. There are more fans out there than us. Think of all the younger fans who might just be getting into DMB and had a great time and fell in love with the band.

Lets just accept the band will play these songs, but lets just appreciate it when the rare songs come out.
i could give a fuck what the entire fanbase wants to hear, when i go to a show i want to hear the songs im interested in, it's my money and if i dont see a show i consider up to par, i have the right to complain. im not going to accept a set that is shitty IMO just because other people may enjoy it, that is just foolish.

if that were the case for everyone dmb shows would be the grumpiest place on earth.

I agree with wkpggrvn and Gianni, but that is a true statement.

not if you include the fact now it seems 75% of the people at the shows arent there for the music.

The crowds get worse and worse with each year. In '96 at SPAC the crowd was great. Everyone was just hanging out on the lawn, sitting down and listening to the music. Flash forward 10 years and its completely different. The lawn is like a war zone. Pushing and shoving, people talking on their cell phones, not paying attention to the music.

yeah at cuyahoga this year someone tried to crowdsurf during hunger in the lawn. he ended up falling on his neck and spilling his beer on some older guy. i was pissed

I agree. but that why us big boys dont mess with the lawn anymore.
you can cry all you want but it wont change a damn thing.
But buying seats will.

the pavillion is pretty shitty anymore too. especially the better the seats you get. last time i had good pavillion seats at a dmb show, the people next to me were uninterested and got the tickets because who their parents knew, or who their parents were, or even worse the middle-aged people who have gotten into the band through the radio.

yeah i know i usually do get seats, but we met up with some friends there who didnt want to drop the extra cash.

also, ive been in the lawn at star-lake a couple times and have never had any problems

i hope so. seeing Last Stop at Alpine was great, but a lot of the rare stuff doesnt tickle my pickle.

i'm dying for So Right, Pig again, FTT (i knwo it aint happening), JTR again, and everythign else i w3ant is unrelewased stuff from LWS and 04 tour.
