edpaffjr.comLast night we had the pleasure of taking Phil to his first DMB show. His life is now complete. I think that overall he enjoyed the show. In fact I recall him saying that the show was probably in his top three of all time. Of course this is coming from a man who’s last show out at Verizon was The Outfield.
For me the show started off to rocking with a song (JTR) that I haven’t heard live in nearly six years. There were lots of highlights including Dancing Nancies -> Warehouse, Raven (another song I haven’t heard in years) and Smooth Rider, among others. I was a little worried about the weather since it rained on my entire drive home, but it cleared up just in time for us to tailgate for an hour or so and then head in for the show.
I would probably give the show an 8.5 mainly because the encore was a little weak. I did love the solo acoustic performance of the new song Sister though. Still it was an amazing first show for Phil and Kim actually said at the end of the night that she is getting more and more into DMB. I’m glad she is because we still have three more shows to go to toward the end of the tour!
Yeah I’ve decided it was definitely in my top five. My top five are now that show, Chicago at Sandstone, and David Gilmour at Starlight in ’84. I really don’t know the other two but surely I’ve been to a few more shows I liked in the last 20 years.
RUSH…enough said
