2000-06-23 ::

2000-08-02 ::

Dave Solo ::

2002-07-26 :: 2 legitimate teases durning the show including the opening verse and one chorus

Characterized by unique intros and high energy solos from Boyd. This was a staple for many years, but since 1999, it had only been played a few times in summer 2000 and finally made its return to the setlists in late July, 2002 after almost 2 years off. In the mid '90s, Nancies often segued into Warehouse, a segue that also made a comeback in 2002.

2002-05-28 :: Reworked and somewhat "finished" version debuts

2002-07-23 :: Performed on a Boston radio interview, great performance

Grey Street ::

Grey Street (2000-2001) ::

2000-06-26 :: Opened the song like he never has and probably never will. "Oh, little jimmy's been a bad boy again, he says never walk this way."

2000-07-12 :: "She just listens to the same old thing, running out onto Grey Street." "Heaviness flows out of her and she sings to sign of her sunlight." "Although lonileness she dreams of this, she only says things of her life." More? Sure. "The hole in her tightens and the wings can make her fly, out of bright light she falls to blackness, out of colors no black and white." What else...."Then the rolling rage is over and anger comes laughing out, though anger turns into loving, out of nighttime her soul is found. Why can't flowers bloom in the desert? Only hope can come from God." Wow.

2000-07-19 :: Easily Dave's best performance when it comes to lyrics on the spot. The whole song is full of references to rain and Noah's Ark.

2000-09-04 :: Bela Fleck guests

2000-12-13 :: "It's as if the wrongs in her heart fall, she's no longer sore, and black and white."

2001-07-07 :: "But then the fog rolled heavy on her, and all the brightness fades away."

2001-08-03 :: One word: Roi. Clocking in at 8:25, this is the longest version that the boys have played thus far. Roi is absolutely mesmorizing and they let him go for a good 3 minutes. Lyrical standouts: "As if the fog rolled up in inside her, and she sees the fading light."

Grey Street (2002-Present) :: After being recorded for Busted Stuff, the song was shorted a bit losing some of the chorus towards the end of the song

2002-04-07 ::

This song, orginally recorded during the Lillywhite Sessions has been heavily played since its debut in June, 2000. The first 2 years featured an array of lyrical improvisations giving the song its most defining characteristics before becoming more standardized in 2002.

Halloween ::

Early Halloween (1992-1993) :: Though this song is generally known as an angry song, early versions were almost quiet.

1992-10-31 :: Debut; Techno Intro

1992-11-18 :: Much more developed

1993-01-20 ::

1993-07-06 :: Greg Howard guests in place of Stefan

1998-04-21 :: First performance of new version; Dave moans at the end

1998-12-07 :: Tim Reynolds guests; Incredible performance

2002-08-27 :: Very small tease from Dave & Stefan

2002-09-08 :: What a way to close out the tour! First full band (minus Boyd) performance in years!

2002-12-21 :: Completely unexpected following James Brown and Sex Machine!

Dave & Carter ::

1993-04-09 ::

2000-12-04 :: Insane performance completely on a whim to start the encore.

2000-12-08 :: Last performance of the song.

Jimi Thing (1993-1997) :: Song took a new direction after Peter left the mix. Jam took on a new energy with Roi in the driver's seat.

1993-03-27 :: Doug Wannamaker guests; Alternate ending - possibly a mistake - sort of an extention of the last bridge.

1993-11-13 :: Jimi Thing > Seek Up

1993-11-27 :: Jimi Thing > Seek Up

1994-07-28 ::

1994-10-08 ::

1995-01-31 :: Roi adds some funk to the jam

1995-12-31 ::

1996-10-15 :: Truncated Jimi Thing > What Would You Say Encore

Jimi Thing (1997-1998) :: In my opinion, the weakest period for the song. The band just didn't seem to be on the same page the last 10 minutes of the song, lacking a general cohesiveness present in earlier versions.

1997-06-08 :: Angel Intro

Jimi Thing (1998-2000) :: In late 1998, possibly as a result of Tim Reynolds joining the band on stage, the jam took a whole new direction that stuck for several years.

1998-12-19 :: Tim Reynolds owns this performance, definately my favorite live DMB moment.

1999-09-11 :: Great performance. Dave nails his solo (sometimes difficult for him to pull off).

Jimi Thing (2000-Present) :: While the structure of the jam still resembles that of the 1998 jam, there has recently been some more experimentation with the energy of the jam, mainly due to Carter's drum work.

2000-09-02 ::

2000-09-13 :: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones guest in an epic 25 minute performance.

2001-05-15 :: Soulive guests; 'Get Your Soulive' Outro

2002-04-04 :: Pig makes its triumphant full band return in the tour opener to kick off the encore, and carried by a fantastic performance by Boyd, who in the past has struggled with the song at times, and Carter who displays unparralled energy to close the song.

Route Two/Evolution :: This jam pretty much always acted as an intro to Satellite, as did Proudest Monkey in later years.

1993-12-11 :: Proudest Monkey music debuts

1994-12-03 ::

1995-02-25 ::

This tune originated as a brief intro to a solo Typical Situation in 1995, only discovered after it was recorded for The Lillywhite Sessions and played in the Summer of 2000 Themes and lyrics changed night to night as it was played on and off that summer. It dissappeared in 2001, but much to everyone's liking, it returned in 2002 being played much faster, with set lryics, and some reworked structure.

Consistant presence often playing the role of the closer in many sets from 1991-Present. The song can either be made or broken by Boyd, though let downs are few and far between. The Nature Intro is very common, at least up until 2001, so we'll highlight really unique versions of the Nature Intro only.

One of the most consistantly played songs through the years, and offers the greatest variation among different versions. . Also, in 1997, along with a new intro giving Stefan the spotlight, a new opening verse was added, which has generally changed each night its been played.

Another staple in the early years who's light burned out in 2000 with only 7 perfermances that summer. The song hasn't been played since. However, this is one tune that will make a triumphant return at some point in the future.

The band's first official single. Fantastic experimental early versions before it was recorded for UTT&D where performances became more standard with a few notable exceptions and guest appearances. Played consistantly through 1996 then played less than 10 times through 1998. Strong comback in 1999 with a consistant presence in setlists since.
