Halloween (BTCS)
Great Covers Burning Down the House
Sledgehammer
Physical Reaction/Live Show Great Lightshow (thank you Fenton), lots of bros and braas (at most shows a lot of drunk high schoolers who can’t hold alcohol), Almost everyone is pretty chill, at one dmb show I went to the lawn was covered in mud and we had mud sliding down the hill. • Personal Notes This will be my Ninth DMB show, at the end of my last show (June 16, 2009) I said that was my last Dave show. My two best friends and I are huge DMB fans we keep up with the setlists from shows on the tour leading up to ours, and we come up with our prediction for our show that we are attending. The losers have to buy the winners dinner (I always win). But the past four shows or so I was going to hear one or two songs that I haven’t heard yet, I had heard my favorite song in 07 (Dreaming Tree), and all I wanted to see was Halloween. They closed with Halloween at my last show so I felt like I didn’t have any other reason to go. But I am excited for this show. They should bring out some guests and jam out.

For those who are not familiar with Dave's music (other than Ants Marching and radio play), here is a playlist of some of my favorite live Dave music. Some of it is from Bonnaroo when they played before.
at most shows a lot of drunk high schoolers who can’t hold alcohol
haha. at first I thought you meant hold, as in "hold this beer"... but then I realized you meant "stomach"
I thought it was funny cause, my friend got arrested at a DMB show for physically holding a beer... he was drunk and in high school, so I got a good laugh when I misunderstood what you intended.
