i think the band can do whatever the hell they want. i dont understand how this guy thinks they should have practiced on their break.

my opinion of this board is going down hill fast because of the "support" for this jared guy. It's like getting a christmas gift and then bitching because it is not the exact one you wanted. Just be glad that this band still exists and is there to play FOR YOU...... and by the way, if any of you actually work for a living, if you get a couple of days off do you practice you profession? If so than you need to unplug a little. I only get upset about this because this "new generation" of followers are generally extremely greedy and self-centered. Although you paid for a concert ticket, it is still a gift to be a part of any DMB experience. Deal with what you are given, cause it ain't going to last forever.

Seriously, well put. This band does not owe us anything. We are not ENTITLED to anything. If you don't like what the band is giving, dont buy cd's dont go to concerts. there is a TON of music out there besides the Dave Matthews Band.

I think most of the bitching is a result of people devoting all their energies into one band. If you do that, you are seeking all your fullfillment from one place and frankly that is always going to disappoint you.

For those that would argue that it is WE who made the dave matthews band famous and all the money they got is a result of our support, do you also argue that you should have some creative control over the band? Absolutely not. If this were true, many of the songs and concerts you have been to would not ever have happened. It is hard to get two fans to agree to anything let alone millions.

For purity's sake, lets leave the decisions to the band and accept what they give us, for better or worse.

Do I think that we should get creative control over the band? Jeez. Asking the band to play something other than the same songs they've been playing for the last 2 years isn't asking for creative control. It's asking for some creativity from the damn band. I'm not saying they should never play these songs. I'm glad they like the material, they should. But, yes, actually, they do owe the fans something. It's the fans that allow the band the opportunity to play music as a career. Is asking for a couple or 3 or 5 songs for one tour really that much of a demand? They have 20 slots a night to play songs that they like, a dozen or 2 dozen slots a SUMMER isn't asking a whole lot. For Christ's sake SUPRISE me! I don't think that's asking too much.

My brother saw RHCP twice in a year. Only two songs were different on the set. Two songs. Encores were even in the same order I believe.

Stop bitching.

try living in the UK or any country where seeing DMB is a financial and logistical mission, then you are happy to see just about anything.

plus setlists have been pretty damn cool on the whole this year
