i was just listening to a solo recording of him from 1992ish and he mentioned how he had a second guitar on stage, not for sound or tone or anything different, it's just that he can't play soft.

Thats why I love songs where he fingerpicks so much because it is such a nice quiet contrast.

Like someone said before, during Crash Into Me on 8.16.04 dave broke a string. Monk came out and got the guitar mid song. On the recordings you can hear the missing guitar part. The band keeps playing, Monk brings out a new guitar, Dave says, "Oh please forgive me" I know it is part of the song, but he was singing it a different way, apologizing for breaking the string. It was something truly special.

Yeah, I bet you felt that you and Dave made a real connection. Almost like he was singing to you. I how you feel...

Way to insult with a stupid ass sentence.

[/quote]he's always been much more casual during a D&T show. much less performance to it. He's stopped many songs with D&T, where as the band, we'ver heard those train wrecks and seen many guitar switches, I guess there's just something worse about stopping a whole band vs. just tweo guys on acoustic.[/quote]

Depends heavily on the song being played, but at a D&T show if Dave's string bust that's a huge difference as compared to a DMB show. You have up to 5 other instruments banging away and making noise. The absence of the guitar riff for a few seconds is not as noticable. At D&T, you better hope Timmy pulls something out of his arse like a third and fourth hand to play rhythm.

Just my take on it but what do I know? I'm not making millions of dollars a year by pounding on the guitar.

The grey street in 01 at the gorge where the W65 completely fell apart, theres a video of him just stopping playing after like 10 of the strings busted and he just switched it out during a lyric break second.
