For a long time Dave was messing up shows because of drugs and/or alcohol, this was after the BTCS days when they were having trouble together. At Bonaroo he cut the Dave and Friends encore short because he was too messed upfrom partying with Trey. I'm not saying they get bombed before every show but to think that it hasn't been an occasional thing in the past or present is ignorant.

Exactly.

At Jazz Fest, he was straight-up-wasted, with his daughters 20 feet away.
straight-up wasted?

I watched jazz fest I dont think he was wasted. he was just acting like himself. I have a recording of jazz fest and its an In Ear Monitor and Dave is talking telling who to solo first during the jams and he showed no signs of being wasted except when he went to the mic and talked to the crowd. I think people are confused because he acts drunk when he's sober.

can this thread please die? there has been absolutely no credible evidence to support the notion that dave is a rampant drug addict. we all know that dave has used drugs and probably still uses drugs. i'm sure most other members of the band have as well.

i think it was in one of the charlie rose interviews dave did he said that he's been high while performing a few times, but that he can't play that way, and he prefers to be sober while performing. he's known to drink while he's performing, but i personally do not think it's to excess.

he's not out blasting lines, drinking 5 quarts of whiskey before each show.

/thread please.

And booze and maybe even some coke from time to time. The guy's not dead, he's a rock star. Just becasue you have kids doesn't mean you still can't party once in a while, even if it means snorting some blow and chiefing a blunt.

They've played more than one Jazz Fest. I should have said 'last year, Dave was 'straight-up wasted.' Ask around. He was very drunk during that show.

Besides, Dave arranged JTR, so I think he knows it pretty well by now. But that's pointless, because that's refering to NOJazzFest 2006.
