Christin has a very good post about DMB, so you can go see that. But I am going to blog about it as well. As everyone by now knows, we saw them in Dallas on Friday night. The trip there and back was uneventful. The concert was great. Lacey and I were sitting up high as well, but in a different section from the rest of our crowd. We didn't have to deal with drunk frat guys. Anyways, back to the concert. Musically, the guys were totally on form, and that has always been what I appreciate about them the most. Boyd was kickin', Leroi was varied and brilliant, Stefan grooved, Carter rocked like nobody's business, and Dave was dancing like a fiend. I also thought the setlist was fantastic. I had never heard Crush done live, so that was a treat. And they brought out some classics that they RARELY do live, such as Pay for what you get, and Minarets. I was excited about hearing those. But it didn't get any better than Friday's particular rendition of Ants Marching...it was wonderful. They also rocked on Grey Street and Watchtower. All in all, it wasn't the best DMB concert I've ever been to, but hey, I've seen them 5 times. It was well worth it, and a great time.

The Smashing Pumpkins also played (for about 4 hours) and they sucked worse than any other comparable cacophonious dissonance I've ever heard.
