"Atlantic City"

Thanks for that.  I generally feel that the saxaphone has as much to do with good music as the flute (explains my aversion to Bruce and Jethro Tull) - but this somehow works for me.  Have they ever done a bad song?

Their sorta cover of the Minutemen's "History Lesson Part 2" is honest, but doesn't do anything for me.  Oh, and I still loathe "Same Kooks".  Other than that, I'd say no.

Yeah True, I can't wait for that package.  Especially the DVD -- really hoping it's for the documentary that had a trailer online over a year ago (it vanished in days).

I'm more pumped for the documentary than anything. I saw that trailer a couple of times before it got pulled from Youtube.

Why the long face? DMB shows are awesome.

I just wish they were opening for them at the scranton show, which is all the way in fucking September. But in a way a september show up on the mountain will be pretty cool. I know no one cares. I do though.

I hope I don't meet anymore douchebags at the next show..

It's a DMB show in northeast PA.

What shows?  I'll gladly brave another night of people I don't like at the Ford Ampitheater (and a night at the Seminole Casino next door) for a little HS.

I was looking at the HS web site and I didn't any Dave Matthews supporting dates - the Counting Crows ones were there.  The DMB list someone else opening on August here.  Help me please.

THey are opening for 6 or so shows in the northeast starting at spac and ending in Burgettstown in early June.

A hold steady show at a dry venue should be interesting. Not saying they won't kick ass, but that is just strange.

Thanks.  I just figured out how to put Dave Matthews Band and Hold Steady into Google and I got the dates.  I'm very stupid.

I do think it will be interesting - Dave plays big houses.  I'm not sure that his crowd will quite get Lord, I'm Discouraged.  "Why's the creepy weirdo with glasses so sad?"

Dry Venue???????  Wow.  I guess I could drink hard enough for my buzz to last an hour and then leave when Dave comes on.  Or take a handfull of drugs.

I saw Dave last summer in Tampa and didn't hate it.  Realy cool lightening storm during the show and did I mention the casino?

No, the dry venue is just for a Hold Steady show, not one of the DMB shows.

I think at the end of lost they turn the wheel again and end up in a parallel universe and Hurly takes everyone to a dry hold steady show. (He has mentioned them on the show before). ;)

See what I mean?  About the stupid thing?

How can they sing about Ybor City and not come to Ybor city?  It's not fair I tell ya.
