Pretty good show. I've been a fan for about 6 years but this is my first show. I was sitting 4th row center. The set list was, for the most part, pretty basic. The guys brought a good energy to the stage. Sat one row behind a really hot chick and her friends from Little Rock (If you know who you are e-mail me. I'm the one you spoke to for a while about what mall you went to that day. I want to get copies of those pics you took, if you dont mind.) Anyway, over all pretty good show. Daves facial expressions were entertaining as always.

This is the 4th time I have seen DMB play, and easily the best show I have seen. They played many songs that I have never heard them play live, namely: "Minarets and Watchtower." I am going to the San Antonio show on Saturday. I cant wait!

I have seen DMB four times and this by far was the best show!!! Dave was really into the music tonight, because if he wasn't on the mic he was dancing around the whole stage...it was really amazing. It started out nice and loud with "dont drink the water" and for a nice suprise right after went into satellite. There were two highlights of the night...the first when it went from crash to say goodbye to warehouse and the minarets into typical situation. Dave also did this awesome African chant at the end of minarets which was unbelivable. Grace is gone was also a crowd favorite...as well as one sweet world with the intro. The closer of the set was all along the watchtower with stefan doing his version of the star spangled banner. When they came back out to the crowd they played cry freedom and an awesome version of what you are. GREAT SHOW!!! Looking forward to Dallas and Atlanta!

My 5th show overall. Never forget the first was DMB opening for The Rolling Stones at Texas Motor Speedway and all of these fans singing along to every word of their short set...I thought "there must be something to this band"...and DMB has been my favorite ever since! The OKC show was great! I was hoping for an opener of DDTW! So great to hear some live that I had never heard in the past shows like "Say Goodbye", "Minarets", and an unbelievable "Typical". BEAUTIFUL! Great set list overall - hopefully we'll get "Granny" in Dallas on Friday! I understand being extremely excited at a DMB show - but I do wish the people right next to me did not scream as loud as possible during those soft moments when the band displays incredible touch and musical talent - it would be nice to hear the band. Thanks DMB!!!

Good Show - I liked the selection of music. It was great to hear Minarets live. Say Goodbye was amazing. Carter, as usual, came through with a great opening to the song, and stefan played a great Nat. Anthem tribute to Hendrix before watchtower. There was great energy throughout the show, esp during the second half. But I was disappointed with the crowd. For the most part the 300's section sat through a lot of the show. There were few of us who stood up the entire time. Maybe next time I just need better seats.

This was by far the best show I've ever seen! Hearing 4 songs I've never heard before was total greatness. DDTW is becoming a rather predictable opener. Satellite, Pig and OSW are some of my personal favorites so I really enjoyed them. I could listen to OSW all night. Now for the 3 song stop-down...If I had It All/I Did It/Crash. Ugh! At least all the chicks in the crowd got to make out with their boyfriends as soon as the first two chords of Crash were played. Whatever. After that is when this show went from "basic" to classic. I saw the tech put Roi's flute up on the amp before the show and I could only hope. Yep, Say Goodbye, the first time I've ever heard it. Outstanding! Warehouse never gets old in my book. Then, Fonz started playing one of those slide instruments (not sure what it's called) and I wasn't sure what was coming. It was the opener for Grace, which was very nice. WTWE, whatever. Grey Street is another of my faves so I loved hearing it. Then, two more I've never heard...Minarets into Typical. Both fantastic! Surprisingly a lot of energy in both songs. The jam at the end of Typical was awesome! To close things out, the first Watchtower of this tour. The highlight of this one was Fonz playing much of the Star-Spangled Banner in the intro. Very cool! Standard Watchtower followed. My fourth new song, Cry Freedom (full band), was really nice. WYA is another predictable encore but I didn't care. I had heard so many great songs that a mediocre WYA didn't bother me at all. Too bad the Ford Center is a crappy venue. Acoustics were awful. Cement walls made the sounds bounce everywhere. All in all, though, the trip from Dallas was well worth it. Racing some of the crew buses and equipment trucks back down I-35 and getting home at 3:45 was great. It's all part of the experience!

The crowd for the show got there fairly early and were extreamly loud. Don't Drink The Water was a good opener, seeing as how we're in Oklahoma. Right off of the bat there was tremendous energy. Satellite was a very pretty version, and Pig was standard. I Did It didn't really fit into the show, the rest of the songs were done with passion, and well, how much passion can I Did It have? Minarets is a welcome song any time it's played, and Dave's face was the color of a fire truck from singing/screaming at the end of it. It was nice to hear Watchtower, they haven't played it in a while, and Butch has a solo added in it from last year. Cry Freedom was very pretty coming from the whole band. All in All, a very nice night of music and fun. Just a word... people around you don't think you're funny if you're drunk.

Pretty Good show.. Glad to see WATCHTOWER RETURN. However, this was the RADIO HITS CONCERT. Sat, Grey, Crash, I DID IT.. oh well. I was glad to hear typical and say goodbye. Its like the whole band was in a mellow mood, except dave who was dancing like a mad man and screaming like one 2. Oh well.. see you in philly! :)

The show was bitter-sweet but over all fantastic. Dmb burned their incredible sound into the virgin ears of OKC. I loathed the fact that I was being asked every song title from the guy next to me. The biggest crowd pleasure, or at least got the biggest cheer, was IDI and crash, while i was having a religious experiance with minarets-->T.S. However, for it being only the second time that the band has come to OK, the first embarisment of having the play at a bar, it was a knock out show. Watchtower was stupendious w/stef's star spangled banner intro. Second show for me this year and second time i heard the encore and what you are is not the best ive heard. Thanks foe a good show dmb.....Bonnaroooo

Well, this was my first show ever! To actually see Dave live, and have him not just be a voice on my cd player was sooo awesome. We were sitting on the floor, eight rows from the stage, couldn't ask for anything better!!! Dave was right there, so close to us, so unbelievable! Anyways, about the show, Dave had so much energy all night, and Steffan was acting goofy! His facial expressions were so much fun! During Warehouse, Steffan was cheering right along with the crowd in the opening part of the song where the crowd yells after each beat. It was so cool!! Having the jam session during Typical Situations was so unexpected and so amazing. That was probably the song that they improvised the most with tonight. Hearing Watchtower live made the song come alive! All night, Boyd and LeRoi didn't really do much. They played awesome on their solos, but they just didn't really seem as excited to be there as Dave and Steffan were. It's fun to watch Carter laugh all night. It looks like he's always having so much fun on stage. What You Are is another song that really is totally better live than on the cd. One Sweet World intro. is just beautiful. Say Goodbye, with Carter's drum solo intro. was awesome. I never thought they'd play that song live here, but it was so pretty. Satellite live was kind of boring, but the whole show really was a pretty good setlist, I'd say! Can't wait to see them in Dallas!

This was probably the best Dave show i've heard. I couldnt of picked out a better set list or anything, and I was really surprised to see him play Wathctower because he hadnt played it on his summer tour so far this year. A lot of other great songs too that really made the concert too, but overall it was a great show.

AWESOME SHOW!!! This was my 8th time to see the band live. It was honestly the best show i have seen. what made it great was the setlist in my opinion. the highlights for me are when they played OSW with sweet intro. I could listen to that intro all day. Also, Say Gdbye was such a great surprise. going in i really wanted to hear that one. i knew when roi pulled out the flute that it was coming.....and as always carter had an amazing drum solo to open the song. overall the energy was great in the show. I am so glad they finally came to OKC. but of course i am still going to travel to the lone star state for a few shows. see everyone there!

My 4th DMB show. Not the best but a pretty solid show none the less. Don't Drink the Water, great opener. Satilite, kind of weird placement, but good standard version. Pig was amazing and a first time for me. One Sweet World sounds so amazing with the intro. Was disapointed to hear If I Had it All, I Did It and Crash back to back to back, but they got it going again with Say Goodbye and Warehouse. Grace is gone sounds so good with the slide guitar intro and I was very happy to hear it. When the World Ends has come along very nicely since it's Everday days, so it was a good play too. Pretty standard Grey Street, but always good to hear. Even though this was not the best show I've been to, what came next may have been the best song/combo I've ever seen; Minarets into Typical Situation was mind blowing to say the least, and this alone made this show worth my 50 bucks. They finished the set off with a full energy Watchtower, realy nice with the Star Spangeled Baner intro. I guess the wore themselves out on Watchtower because there was absolutly no energy in the encore. A mellow Cry Freedom, and a toned down What You Are. Stephon shined all night, Dave danced harder than I've seen before, but LeRoi was very out of it all night. Oh well, surprisingly good audience and a pretty solid show.

What a night! This was my third show, and it was easily the best. I'll never get tired of DDTW, and I thought it was a great way to kick things off. I loved hearing Pig and OSW with the intro. This was the first time I had heard Warehouse. Because of the great mix of music, lyrics, and intensity, it's my favorite DMB song, and it was unbelievable to hear it live. As far as what made this show unique - and I can't believe nobody has posted this - we were the first to get Watchtower so far on this tour! And it was very cool for Stefan to give a nod to Hendrix by playing the Star Spangled Banner as an intro. I don't know what made them choose Oklahoma to break it out, but it made me feel special. Beyond that, I think Cry Freedom has been rare in recent years. So has Minarets. I'm confident in saying that Minarets is the best surprise the band is giving to the fans during this tour. For those who don't know, this isn't simply the version on Remember Two Things. The live version has an amazing, intense ending that is on par with Watchtower's. I had been getting psyched about this show by listening to a live version of Minarets from '92, and I felt very lucky when they played it. I also felt very sorry for the ignorant souls who didn't recognize the intro and started heading for the concession stands. This is a great tour, and I hope all serious fans get a chance to see a show. I love the injection of seemingly lost songs and rarities. I would have loved to hear Dreaming Tree, Help Myself and Rapunzel as a closer, but I certainly can't complain about seeing an outstanding show performed by the greatest band in the world!

OH MY WORD, I've been to only 3 shows, including this one, and i've listend to quite a bit more. the set list and intensity of this show was INSANE. the best show I've ever been too. Surprisingly enough, i really enjoyed the opening band, the red west, and had the lines at the end of the show been shorter i would have bought their cd. it was a steal at 10 dollars. started the show off with DDTW. wow. intense. it was a perfect way to open a show. and then right into satallite...seriously, that isn't right. Don't burn the pig kept the laid back swing of things going, and then OSW, wow. i love this song. Then IDI, you know, i really didn't like this song before this show, but shows always have a way to make you like the songs you don't. Then crash, yeah stellar as usual. Say Goodbye with Carter going CRAZY at the beginning with the drum intro. by far the best version i've heard. Warehouse with the Passion intro. lol, this is where i lost my voice. LOVE warehouse. Grace and WTWE, both great songs. Then Dave got his 12 string and i was hoping and praying for him to do Bartender but i had to "settle" for Grey Street. oh man he mixed up the lyrics and loved it. and then, the show got crazy. CRAZY FOLKS. Minarets??????WHAT????? oh man, i went nuts, i called it from the first rift that dave played, awesome version. right into TS...who plays a show like this with such intensity and keeps it going? DAVE MATTHEWS BAND THATS WHO. and then, AATW. i didn't think he'd play it, it hasn't been in his arsenal much this summer but as soon as stefan started i knew. I KNEW IT. and it sounded like everyone took 2 full run throughs to solo. oh man, awesome. and then after screaming forever he came out and played Cry Freedom, first time i'd heard it live. wow, great. and then What you are, i think he may have toyed with Halloween at the beginning of WYA, but i'm not sure. but anyway, awesome show, awesome setlist. i can't wait to get it on cd. i've found my new favorite CD.

It was a great show, I've never seen the band play live, i could've thought of a better encore,and there were a couple of songs I was really looking forward to hearing, but didn't. (lie in our graves, stone, crush, etc. ) Nonetheless, I was very pleased with the enthusiasm of the band and crowd. All along the watchtower made up my earlier complaints.
