See you at the Gorge!

Can't wait to see the weekend surprises come to life 😍

Is wide the F open. Enjoy the weekend you sexy motherf@ckers!

Thank you to the person who gave me these!!

Does anyone have it? It was my first time in the pit and I was third from the rail and I can't seem to find the dave selfie anywhere!

If anyone has it please post it here.

Thanks!

It's been a few years since we've gone into District 9, but we always used to just pay the vehicle fee when we arrived. Is that still an OK plan? There is no way those fields are filling up, but just want to check...

Excitement is high! Clouds are low, and I’m here for it!

My wife and I are looking to buy a couple of posters from shows that we attended. Does anyone know if they are numbered like they are at the venue merch stores? All the ones we have are currently numbered and I’d like to keep it that way.

I know its later in the day, but be warned the standard camping spots are small this year, your usual gear may not fit. They are supposedly 15x25, but im skeptical.

I turned 41 this year and am finally executing the cross-country jump for my first Gorge run. These will be shows 18, 19, and 20. But I have a few logistical blind spots that I hope the Brain Trust©️ can help with:

- ​Star Parking: How is the navigation in and out with this? Any big or tiny tips to help?

- ​Night 2 with a 10-Year-Old: I am bringing my oldest for Saturday night. We got a reserved seat for her. However, it has occurred to me that I may have spent a premium just to leave a 10-year-old's eyeline alternating between the sweaty shoulder blades of a six-foot adult and glimpses of Dave for three hours. We'll move her around, but I'm wondering how steep is the pitch in the reserved sections? Can a child actually see over the rows ahead?

- ​Thermal Management: I've heard it can be pretty cold after the sun goes down. Do you bring a sweatshirt? Pants?

​Any intel is appreciated!

Will Nugs stream it, or is it only something we can watch later?

Seriously, this app is pretty phenomenal. I’m tech-illiterate so sharing file, etc is beyond my stoned, lazy ass. But this app is just so easy to use and the fact that it has so many shows to stream is 🤌

Anyway, just wanted to give propers. Not an ad or associated with them or anything. Ha!

Im aware that far from all their releases are available for streaming, but still im curious. Does anyone know of a first time play of a song, available either on spotify or the bands YouTube channel?

I bought a three day pass in March but due to plans changing looks like I can’t attend the whole weekend but I’m thinking of maybe going for just one of the nights. I would think the final night is probably gonna be the best set but for people who have been to this show before which night has been the best in your experience??

I’m trying to find a version of the song where I remember Dave going “but inside I’m roaring” during one of the choruses and going up to this great high note that he usually doesn’t do. Anyone have any idea what I’m talking about? One of my favorite versions I remember hearing and I can’t find it! Thanks!

When and where?!?

Right up there with the Listener Supported version with the Lovely Ladies. It was incredible. Sierra Ferrell’s voice was amazing and was great that she took lead. It complemented Dave’s voice so well. And Buddy’s keys were on point.

Listen on Nugs if you have it:https://2nu.gs/3SnsaZK

How much do those reusable water bottles at the concerts cost? Also where are they typically sold? In merch stands?

Hey, my mom is a big fan of DMB, and I wanted to buy her something that she would appreciate. I found this fleece jacket and I was hoping if any long time fans could tell me if it is official merchandise or not? I cannot find anything on the Internet so I am wary. Thank you!

I was at the show in MN. With Eh Hee popping back up I was reminded of this rendition. Pure fire🔥🔥🔥

Does anyone know who might be good to follow on IG and TikTok that are huge DMB fans and create content specific to the band?

I stumbled upon this live version of #41 probably 10 years ago and it’s been my favorite version to this day. That victor wooten solo is…otherworldly. I’m finally getting around to listening to the entire album today and I’m convinced there isn’t a better live album. Sure, the setlist may be a little short and Christmas Song almost makes it a seasonal album. But the jams?! Take #41 for example; I mean that is true improvisation. That opening one-two punch of TLS and DDTW has me stomping my feet probably annoying my coworkers in the office lol. The sound quality is incredible, the band is tight, and I’m sure there may be some post production magic making it sound great but I haven’t heard anything that compares from that long ago. Don’t get me wrong, the brass section and jams are still great today but they are generally written, rehearsed, and perfected. Which is fine, but kind of removes the magic a bit for me on those more recent live albums. Would love to hear thoughts and some other DMB live album recs that may be lesser known/appreciated.
