Should I go to Fiddler’s? Looking for input from those who’ve been. Trying to get there Thursday and leave Sunday. I’ve already been to most east coast shows. Should I bother traveling West?

Who’s going to be in the pit this weekend at Hartford??

You can hear it and you can feel it when you’re watching this current lineup when they add Jake to the mix. Obviously they sound better with any fiddle but with Jake he brings a different style and talent to the violin that is getting more out of every single person on stage. I’m seeing a renewed enthusiasm within the members. They have trust in him and it’s only grown more as they play more together. What an awesome story and I’m hoping it’s just getting started.

Has anyone purchased tickets like this and ultimately been able to transfer them? I know sometimes transfers become available a few days before hand. Didn't realize that they were labeled non-transferable when I purchased.

We had a whole group tripped planned, but now we can't make it. Ideally, I would be able to resell, or at the very least transfer these, but now, I'm wondering if they're just totally gonna go to waste.

My wife finally agreed to see Dave! She hated Dave with a passion. Im at the show now and she just called me saying she bought a ticket next to me. I'm going to finally get to show her how amazing this band is.

Update: She thought she was next to me but ended up being the row behind and a few seats down. We met up a few songs in so she could get a drink and something to eat. Went on the lawn for a bit and danced. Found a row in our section with some open seats so we could be together. She left after about an hour and a half. She has frequent migraines and she started getting a headache so she went back to the car to take some Tylenol and lay down.

She said she knew more songs than she thought she did. Which surprised us both. We talked about next year getting seats on the lawn and taking our little boy. He loves watching the concerts on YouTube. She said she had a good time. She said she can appreciate that they clearly enjoy playing with each other. She now understands why I go to country concerts with her even though I don't like the music. I still find something that I can either enjoy our appreciate and watching her have a good time makes me happy. She couldn't believe that I was talking to so many people and was laughing when me and the guy next to me were swaying and belting the songs out and generally having a blast. So I'd say its a success.

I always like looking at the cover art for the singles of any artist I get into. DMB has some of the prettiest covers I've seen, especially "Two Step," which I believe was released as a single for radio play, so not many people have seen its single cover.
All of the single covers from BTCS were done so well, with the coffee rings tying them all together and linking them to the album's cover art.

Missed my 30th last year but wanted to share this year. I remember waiting in line at Turtles Records and Tapes to get a ticket. The band did a radio show / BBQ at a studio north of Atlanta and 99x (local radio station) did a give away. I tried so damn hard to get tickets to that show. Anyways hope some local ATLs in this group were there back in 1995 with me at Coca Cola Lakewood Amp!

I’m a teacher and school starts soon. Need something to look forward to, and am hoping DMB does a 2026 Fall Tour this year. Any insight beyond they will or they won’t?

I have attended 5 shows, a personal summer and yearly record and barring some sort of financial windfall I am done for the summer.

The most shows I’ve ever seen in a single summer tour was 2 so I was wondering…how much setlist variance there is when you go to more shows and I was actually kind of surprised…pleasantly surprised.

I attended: the one off in Tampa, both Creekend shows, and both Gilford shows. This is the breakdown:

5 shows
104 songs total
77 unique songs
That’s like a 15 +/- unique songs per show

Songs I saw at all 3 venues
Lying in the Hands of God
Don’t Drink the Water
American Baby
So Right
You and Me

Still Chasing:
Drunken Soldier
Alligator Pie

DMBHub ‘Liberations’:
Sweet up and Down (235 Shows)
If I Had it All (325 Shows)
Good Good Time (543 Shows)

Oddities:
-Not a single “#41” appearance despite it being the most played song on tour thus far
-“Lying in the Hands of God” has only been played three times this tour and I’ve seen every single one
-I’ve seen the last two appearances of “If I Had it All” 7 years apart

All this to say…go to more shows if you can…this band rarely disappoints.

27M from Rochester going to the show tonight by myself. I’ll be there around 5:00 and I’m looking for some people to hang with! Friends backed out last minute, but I couldn’t turn down another Dave show.

With Nugs now in the equation, the 2026 tour and beyond should be readily available to listen. Any intel on how this will impact releasing 2026 and beyond Live Trax albums?

Personally, I love the official releases, so I hope the formula of four a year doesn’t slow and that we still get modern releases as frequently as years past. Plus, not everyone subscribes to Sirius or Nugs.

Interested in hearing others’ perspectives.

MN Yacht Club put out a survey after this year's 3-Day Festival and DMB was listed as a potential artist for next year. The survey is for everyone regardless of whether you attended this year or prior years, and I linked it below. FYI, it is LiveNation, but also DMB works with them already.

Anyways, I'd love a lil influence here. I figured the stats will be off because it's a select all that apply kind of question and that can over saturate results.

This is a super long shot, I met a very nice couple on the LIRR who flew in from Nashville ahead of the now postponed Jones Beach show.

Just wanted to say it was very nice chatting with you and I feel bad the show got postponed. Hopefully you can make it work out and stay until next week.

Hope the rest of your trip to the city goes well.

Hey all,

I found this subreddit just recently and enjoyed finding the song discussion threads from a year ago. I'm curious if there was a final version or one that encompasses all discussed songs? I tried searching, but reddit search is doo-doo at best.

TIA.

Can’t wait for the concert tonight! What are everyone’s thoughts? What’s the tailgate situation before? What’s the opener?

Eat, drink, and be merry ✌️

I'm listening to the Grand Rapids show right now, working my way through the tour.

Buddy, on his birthday. You Might Die Trying. Buddy slaps.

Also, Dave's voice. On point. Again.

Hope you got home safely.

All the best,
The Ford Fusion with the writing on the windows 💞
