My 05 Tour Predictions

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Sun May 29, 2005 9:53 pm

Well, its less than a week till my 05 dmb concert run. Ill be hitting up both burgettstown shows, the second show in columbus, and if im lucky, darien lake.

While i know there are some threads about songs people are hoping to hear this summer, this list is of songs that will more likely than not appear this summer. While these are more or less estimations, they are somewhat solidified through information from dmbalmanac.

Here we go...

With the release of Stand Up, we can expect alot of material from this album to appear on tour. So far they have performed about half of the songs off of the album live. These songs include:
"dreamgirl"
"stand up"
"american baby"
"hello again"
"louisiana bayou"
"you might die trying"
"steady as we go"
"hunger for the great light"
These songs are most likely gonna be in heavy circulation this year, and i assume "old dirt hill" and "everybody wake up" will be played frequently as well.

Now for those of you who hate the new album (alot of you do), dont worry. Seeing trends in the previous tours, I predict these songs will be played a decent number of times this summer.

"Lover Lay Down" - While this song was only played 3 times during the 03 tour, and 5 times during the 04 tour, the band played it at 3 out of 6 shows in Australia this spring. If they played it in spring, why not summer?

"You Never Know" - This song was played extensively in 02, 9 times in 03, and 0 times in 04. There are going to need some songs this length for this tour (because drive in drive out and pig will probably not be out this year), and YKN is prime for the role. I personally feel this is one of DMBs best songs, with great lyricism and instrumentation, and hope this year.

"Minarets" - What DMB tour would be complete without some darker songs? They played it 8 times in 03 (i saw it 6.27.03, fucking awesome) but was absent in 04. With all the new songs, they probably want to give the older fans some lovin. So that is why Minarets would be prime for 05.

"Say Goodbye" - OK, this is a longshot. But after listening to the Meadows, it almost seems like it belongs on tour. It was absent in 04, but played 3 times in 02 and 03, and 4 times in 01. It took them 4 years to bring back Last Stop, so im not shunning Say Goodbye.

Alright, I'm tired of typing, but those are my predictions/hopes for this tour. Those + "kit kat jam" and "what you are."

Peace.

I'd love to see the 3 song encore where the first song is Dave solo.

That would be awesome. Especially if the solo Dave song was #40.

As long as they play Crash, Ants Marching, What Would You Say, Where Are You Going?, Crush, I Did It, and The Space Between, I'll be happy.

Although why Crush? I've never seen it live and would love to. Ants is always welcome with me, but I can understand how people are tired of it.

im tired of hearing what would you say..and i wouldn't mind jimi thing going on a little break as well

Okay, Crush is an iffy entry to that list. Of all those songs, it's the least tired I think.

Agreed. Jimi Thing seems to be in EVERY show.

Yeah, jimi thing should go into hiding, and come back in a year or two with a completely fresh jam.
