Frig you American are lucky with your double headders and tripple headder weekend DMB shows and tour cities fairly close together. Dave only ever plays one show up here. It is a "if I win the lottery" dream of mine to follow them on a summer tour, see a full weekend set at the gorge or red rocks, see 7 or 8 shows in a row. I have seen him 6 times now up here in Toronto, and while they are always awesome, the shows up here always seem like a 70% performance compared to the other ones he plays on the tour, probably just them being tired. Solos never last as long, they just seem like they are there to play and not having as much fun as they do elsewhere. BUT This last show he had a few days off, spent the day before just relaxing up here in Canada and when it was show time they came to play! I was blown away, they had so much fun on stage and gave me that 100% performance I wanted to see. Carter had a drum solo near the end of the show that was off the charts and went on forever, Boyd did his thing and Stephan did his national anthem intor to Watchtower, except he played our national anthem that got the crowd pumped. Great show.

Drunken soldier is def the best song on the new album, I've only seen The Stone once live and it is awesome, one that I wish was a little more regular. For the summer I am going to try and convince my wife to make a road trip out of a US tour date......we will see how that goes, she is not a fan like me.
