We (Alpine) didn't say anything. The DMB crew said it on behalf of the band on the road page of the official DMB site. Plus I'd say that the last 2 years, Alpine has had the best set list of the tour. We'll see what happens the rest of the tour, but as of now Alpine has the best set. I agree about Red Rocks and the Gorge, something special could come out there, but it depends on the rest of the set. If they play JTR and have a set full of I Did It, Don't Drink The Water, etc. then the set loses some credibility as being special.

Alpine night 2 had a solid set, but, they didnt actually bust anything out except a 1:17 #40. That is all. They allready debuted YNK, Say Goodbye and #34.

I think Gorge or Red Rocks will be killer
maybe #34 with lyrics...........

I just meant all the people saying "nah nah, he likes us best." Not necessarily in this thread, but all over the community.

Alpine does have some very good shows almost every time they play there. No greats yet though.

I actually agree with this. After Dave teased #40 I turned to my girlfriend and said something along the lines of "They better play that shit. Considering they say this is their favorite place to play we don't get too much in the way of shocking or special songs." And it's true. #40 was pretty special, though, and Superfreak last year was the shit, but for the most part solid sets are all we can depend on. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But I want to be shocked and awed.

dude, superfreak was just a timing thing, had nothign to do with the venue.

[charliemike]

they have a bunch of favorite places to play. i know SPAC is one of them.

Really though, how can anyone have more than one favorite?

I know that by definition, favorite is not but it really should be a superlative.

Like how girls have 19 "best friends" ... Makes no sense to me. Are they part of an anarcho-syndicalist clique? Do they take turns being best friend for the week? Do all decisions of that best friend then have to be approved at a bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the matter of purely internal affairs ... But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major ...

SHUT UP!

Duly noted, but that doesn't make it any less shocking, suprising or special.
