I know most of you here do not like DMB, but in case any of the rest of you are closet fans I have to tell you all about this. Its about the 5th or 6th time I have seen them in the last 10 years. The first being in a tiny club. This was the best DMB show I have been to. Amazing.
We (my brother, my friend and myself) had a VIP tickets, which was unreal. Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, a few Sex in the City crew, and a bunch of other famous people where in this area. Free food, open bar, bathrooms, blankets for us to sit on before the show, a grass area backstage, a private area up front for the show. I have been to NYC many times but never to Central Park. Wow, that place is amazing. To turn around and see the midtown skyline was unreal. 100,000 people probably at the show.
The show was excellent, like I said best of the shows I have been to. Finally, got to hear their cover of watchtower in person. They played for just over 3 hours.
During the day I met two people at the empire state building who had come without tickets from Iliinios. I gave them tickets to the show and they told me I made their day. That was pretty cool to hear. I gave another person a ticket in the afternoon outside the show as well I brought some drinks to some people in the GA area just before the show. My condition was that they had to go buy an Idlewild CD this week.
I am trading for the show so if any of you secret DMB fans are interested in the recording let me know. I will send out copies once I have it. They plan to release a DVD of the show.
Here is the setlist:
