| Waiting to be Liberated...
|
added on 5/14/2012 |
In keeping with the tradition at the start of a tour, we have updated the list of songs that have been missing from sets for over 1000 days.
The ground rules:
1) These are full band songs only, played in full (yes, we know that can be subjective, but we try hard to be consistent). Songs that were never played full band to begin with, such as Hold Me Down, Save Me, and Dreamed I Killed God are not included. If one of these songs is later played by the full band—such as Funny How Time Slips Away—it automatically qualifies for the list.
2) Dave Solo and Dave & Tim versions do not count as returns because they are not full band. The "Last Show" dates refer to the last known full band version. This is, after all, a full band tour. Full band is three or more members of the current touring band.
3) We include only songs that have been regular features during one or more tours. Songs such as Sex Machine, Eyes of the World, Sweet Caroline, and so on are not counted.
4) Studio songs that were played live are counted no matter what. The three songs confirmed finished in the studio but never played live—Dreams of Our Fathers, Trouble With You, and Little Red Bird (the latter has been played, but not by DMB)—are not included.
5) Songs that are in the Defunct category, such as #36 and Leave Me Praying, are not included. However, if any of those songs happens to be played again, it will be moved from the Defunct category and retroactively considered a liberation.
6) Songs that have only ever been played with a particular guest, such as Love of My Life and Road, are not included.
Days since are as of May 18, 2012.

After the longest gap in Live Trax releases (between volumes 20 & 21), the next release was announced with a much faster-than-average turnaround. The previous 21 volumes were released an average of about 134 days apart. When Live Trax volume 22 is released, it will be 105 days since volume 21 came out. The show selected was performed on July 14, 2010, at Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is the fourth show released from Summer Tour 2010, the first in the Live Trax series, and the first show released from Scranton (this was the band's fifth performance there). Two songs (Pay For What You Get & Crush) from the 2008 show at this venue were released on Live Trax 2008 compilation that was given to fans who purchased tickets that tour.
There are some songs of significance on this release for those looking for some unique officially-released tracks. It is just the third release of Busted Stuff and the first non-2000 version. The next-rarest song included on this release is Cry Freedom. This will be the eighth release of the song but just the fourth full band release. The Big Whiskey songs have been released less, but of course as the most recent Live Trax show is from before the album's recording, this is the first release in the series for all five of them. As far as total time for each track through the entire series, the only movement in the top 15 was #41 moving to 3rd place from 4th (2 hours, 27 minutes & 5 seconds) and Tripping Billies up to 15th from 18th (1:04:49). From a crowd of songs released only once or twice in the series, Busted Stuff was the big gainer moving up 26 spots to 60th (0:11:57) followed by Gravedigger up 22 spots to 57th. Being the longest of the five songs new to the Live Trax series, Lying in the Hands of God debuts highest at 54th. No songs moved in or out of the top 40, so we won't be updating this Sporcle quiz at least until Live Trax v23 is announced.
Looking at Summer 2010 releases, this is the fourth full show, plus a handful of tracks on The Big Apple CitiField bonus disc and two random releases: Stand Up (For It) (partial) » Corn Bread (tease) » Recently (partial) (6.23) and Write a Song (9.3). We also (really) should make sure the Minarets (11.2) from the Fall tour gets some mention. Of the four shows, the songs unique to this release are Grace Is Gone, Cry Freedom, Busted Stuff and So Damn Lucky. Interestingly, this version of So Damn Lucky was also selected for this year's annual Warehouse fan club CD. It's even possible that the fan club CD could arrive before the Live Trax release. It joins #41 from 12.8.98 (Warehouse 5 v1, Live Trax v1) & Minarets 8.29.00 (Warehouse 5 v3, Live Trax v11) as songs with the same version released in both series. There are still 42 songs from the tour that haven't been released yet, but's likely to be the case when you have a tour as diverse as 2010 and just about the entire catalog was in play at some point. The songs that haven't been released from the tour that have been played the most are Bartender (15), Baby Blue (12 - as of yet unreleased at all) and Lie In Our Graves (11). The show that contains the most unreleased songs from the tour so far is surprisingly 7.13, the previous night at Bethel Woods. It shows the number of songs in the rotation at the time when the third show in five days would have 7 songs unreleased as of yet: Bartender, Eh Hee, JTR, Lie In Our Graves, Pig, Still Water & The Maker. The other songs besides Baby Blue played in 2010 that have yet to see a release at all are Break for It and Sleep to Dream Her.
The show's obvious stand out feature is the length of the songs and the show overall. It has the third most amount of music played (2:49:20) of any show released in the series only to v19 (2:53:35) & v15 (2:52:59). It has 7 songs that clocked in at longer than 10 minutes tied for most in the series with v19. The 21:13 version of #41 is the longest song ever released on a Live Trax release eclipsing the 20:51 version of the same song on v1. It contains the longest versions of the tour for: Grace Is Gone, One Sweet World (with intro, longest version since 12.28.94), #41 and the longest ever So Damn Lucky.
Here is the official DMB write up:
"The DMB Crew is particularly excited about the next Live Trax release. The July 14, 2010 Montage Mountain, Scranton, PA show is a true gem. The band really crushed it on stage delivering an over 3-hour performance!
The Montage Mountain show’s setlist draws from all different time frames and showcases some relatively new arrangements and jams. Grace is Gone features a country- tinged outro and You and Me has a nice Digging A Ditch tease intro. So Damn Lucky is a pretty epic jam and the horns reprise the Digging A Ditch melody again in the song. #41 is a definite highlight, clocking in at over 20 minutes with Two Step a close second at sixteen minutes. The spontaneous little jam before Pantala Naga Pampa > Rapunzel and the energetic Two Step both serve to illustrate what a great time the band members were having on stage that night. "
These sentiments are in line with the comments from the Road Page that night:
"Incredible 3+ hour set atop Montage Mountain tonight! DMB impressed throughout. They pulled out the old intro to One Sweet World for the first time in a long while. Tonight's will be a recording worth checking out, for certain. Here we come New York City. Can't wait to see you again.

Today is the ten year anniversary of the current version of the DMB Almanac. We started with a simple .html site in 1999 that was a sub-section of www.justdmb.com (owned and operated by Nate Tilton). It was created just because I had spare time and an obsession with stats and listening to every note of the tour. Here is an example of one of the old show pages. At the time it was hard to find a site for setlists that covered "everything." There were some sites that went up to 1994, Nancies.org that had all of the recent sets, and dmband.com that had a smattering of sets and was still where you had to go to get setlists. Sometimes they were posted days after a show. All of the setlists from 1997 still had "new song" in each encore. After one of the 2001 Gorge shows, Matias and I were sitting around a campfire just throwing ideas at each other. All of a sudden in March of the next year, he sent me a message telling me it was done and he was ready for the data that I had been keeping in spreadsheets. We pushed out a featureless site about four hours before the opener of the Spring 2002 tour. Over the years we have had friends join the team who have kept the site active and a site that we want to use as fans ourselves. The level of detail contained in this site stands on the shoulders of Andy, Dan, and Henry, who dedicated unmentionable amounts of time and effort to keep all tour information accurate, up-to-date, consistent, and all-encompassing.
We thus wanted to take advantage of this occasion to thank all of our users, supporters, and contributors. Specifically we want to thank our current hosting company Codero and our biggest supporter, Ryan. Sustaining this website over such a long time would not have been possible had it not been for the kindness and generosity of website visitors who took the time to send us submissions and feedback, donated whatever amount they could, and personally contacted us to inquire as to how they could help out the operation. We are all extremely grateful and proud to be a part of the community that helped create the most comprehensive tour archive for any band in the world. You are the reason we've been able to stay ad-free & online (especially after the Dave & Tim 2003 tour). There's a lot to be excited about this year for DMB with a new tour and a new album. We hope that the year will as exciting for the site. We'll have some details in the future.
Thanks for all the support from all of us,
- Rob |

5. Everyday (fake) » Halloween » Water Into Wine - 8.5.08
6. Sister - 6.17.06
7. So Damn Lucky - 7.14.10
8. Ants Marching - 8.31.93
Members who have been with the Warehouse for four or more years will receive all eight tracks, and newer members will receive only the first five.
Four of the tracks are noteworthy because of their rare or unusual intro songs.
The Gravedigger intro from 4.26.02 is an early precursor to what eventually became a full song for Dave's solo album. It was played in this "intro" form once more, on 5.15.02, before becoming more fully developed by 5.28.02. This is the second release of Pantala Naga Pampa » Rapunzel on a Warehouse disc.
Gas Into Fire is an incredibly rare selection, as it was only played this once, at the first stop of the Summer 2004 tour (save a few instrumental teases the following month). The name of this interlude is fan-dubbed and comes from this version's most-likely-improvised lyrics. Until this release, it never had an official name and was known variously as "Gas Into Fire," "Interlude," or "6.17.04-jam."
In 2008, the band added a new outro to Old Dirt Hill; on 4.14.09 it became apparent that this outro was in fact the new song Why I Am, and 4.18.09, the band used the ending of Old Dirt Hill as an intro to Why I Am. Old Dirt Hill has not been played by the full band since.
On 8.5.08, fans began chanting for Halloween a few songs into the set, but the band kept on playing its planned setlist, continuing with Everyday. When Carter entered, though, the band suddenly switched to Halloween, taking everyone at Riverbend by surprise and causing a mass influx from the bathrooms back to the seats. Halloween ended in a lengthy rendition of the recently-resurrected Water Into Wine (a.k.a. Water/Wine Jam), including lyrics from the short-lived Round and Round. The Everyday fake/Halloween segue was repeated on 8.7.08, but it was pre-planned that time and not quite as much of a shock. This is second release for Halloween on a Warehouse disc joining only Pantala Naga Pampa » Rapunzel, Say Goodbye, and Warehouse with multiple releases.
The Ants Marching from 8.31.93 features the first known performance of the lost jam Doobie Thing before it, but that isn't listed on the tracklist, so it's probably not on the disc; however, featuring it would certainly fit the "theme" of the disc, so it's a possiblity. Either way, only a handful of tracks from Trax have been released officially, so this is a welcome addition (Granny from the same show was released on Warehouse 8 vol. 3). This will be the fiftieth released version of Ants Marching.
The other tracks comprise what many consider the best (and just the second released) version of Crazy Easy that includes a unique improvised outro, a solo performance (i.e., no backing vocals) of Sister, and the longest-ever performance of So Damn Lucky - complete with Digging a Ditch and Thank You interpolations.
It is worth noting that all songs from Under the Table and Dreaming have now been represented on a Warehouse Fan Club disc, marking the first complete album so far.
Last year's package was announced in March and began arriving in May, so you should probably start checking your mailboxes for this one in April. If you're not a member of the Warehouse, it's too late to join and get this disc, but if you join now, you'll be able to enter the lottery for Summer 2012 tickets, and you'll get next year's memberhsip package! |

| So Now I'm All By Myself

added on 2/6/2012 |
Last week DMB management announced that Live Trax Volume 21 will be released on February 28, 2012. This comes after the longest period of time between Live Trax releases (though due to the nature of Volume 20's release, the number of days is estimated). When Volume 21 is released, it will have been 284 days since Warehouse members began receiving their membership packets that included a copy of Volume 20. The longest previous stretch had been 266 days between Volumes 4 & 5. However, other shows were released in other ways during both stretches (see our updated table below).
DMB brought their "beach music" (a term used in the San Diego Union-Tribune's review of this show meaning good times and care free) to the August 4, 1995 show from SOMA (an amalgamation of South of Market Street) in San Diego. It was selected as the 21st release in the Live Trax series. It is the 63rd full show release from the "DMB universe," the 7th release from 1995 (breaking a tie for most with 1996) and the 4th from the 35 show U.S. Summer Tour that preceded the studio sessions for Crash. Of these four shows, there are six songs common to all four shows (Satellite, Tripping Billies, Dancing Nancies, Warehouse, Rhyme and Reason and Ants Marching). On the other side, Don't Burn the Pig and I'll Back You Up are newly represented from this tour on this show. This is only the second overall release for the former (first was on 5.10.95 DMBlive release). The next rarest song releases from this show are Lover Lay Down and I'll Back You Up with 12 releases each. It should be noted that a 6 song partial radio broadcast recording as well as a complete, though distant audience recording exist.
The show opened with Seek Up, the most common opener of that tour and closed with Ants like every show that tour except one. I'll Back You Up was still in semi-regular rotation and opened the encore followed by Drive In Drive Out, making only its second ever appearance in the encore. Songs from the tour that have yet to be released are (underline - not released from 1995 yet italics - not released at all yet): What Would You Say (played 18 times that tour), 41 Police (no versions released before a studio reworking), Say Goodbye, Minarets, The Song That Jane Likes, Granny, Help Myself, Hold Me Down, Blue Water, Halloween, Christmas Song, Raven (an early solo performance as an intro to Typical Situation), Eyes of the World (a one-off cover as a tribute to Jerry Garcia) and Any Noise (a one-off Dave solo partial at audience request).
Looking at the number of shows released from each year, the 4 years with 5+ shows are 1995 (7), 1996 (6), 2007 (5) and 2008 (5). There has only been one release thus far from 1992, 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2011. Of course there have also been zero releases from 1991. Summer 1995, 2005 and 2008 tours are the most represented tours, each having 4 shows (though 2005 Red Rocks weekend was all one release). Significant tours that still have yet to have a release are: Dave and Tim 1997 & 1999, Spring & Summer 1998, Summer 1999, Spring 2002, Summer 2003, US Spring & Summer 2009.
Here is the official management write up for the show: "The show was performed in front of an intimate crowd and broadcast via radio and Dan Healy, the Grateful Dead's longtime audio engineer, was on board as the recording engineer. Despite it being a radio broadcast, the band was comfortable performing with experimental soloing and joking with the crowd.
The 1995 San Diego show features compelling renditions of classic songs with the band exhibiting great energy throughout the set. Highlights from the early show include LeRoi's performance on Proudest Monkey, I'll Back You Up in the encore as well as an exceptional Drive In Drive Out. This version of Don't Burn the Pig is an early jam, different from the later studio release on Before These Crowded Streets.

It's also worth mentioning that a version of All Along the Watchtower from 8.29.95 was released on the "Chimes of Freedom" Bob Dylan tribute compilation released through Amnesty International (click HERE to listen). We'll be back with individual song stats once the annual Warehouse disc tracklisting has been released. Here is an updated list of full shows that have been released (updated February 6, 2012):

| Waiting to be Liberated...
|
added on 9/2/2011 |
In keeping with the tradition at the start of a tour, we have updated the list of songs that have been missing from sets for over 1000 days.
The ground rules:
1) These are full band songs only, played in full (yes, we know that can be subjective, but we try hard to be consistent). Songs that were never played full band to begin with, such as Hold Me Down, Save Me, and Dreamed I Killed God are not included. If one of these songs is later played by the full band—such as Funny How Time Slips Away—it automatically qualifies for the list.
2) Dave Solo and Dave & Tim versions do not count as returns because they are not full band. The "Last Show" dates refer to the last known full band version. This is, after all, a full band tour. Full band is three or more members of the current touring band.
3) We include only songs that have been regular features during one or more tours. Songs such as Sex Machine, Eyes of the World, Sweet Caroline, and so on are not counted.
4) Studio songs that were played live are counted no matter what. The three songs confirmed finished in the studio but never played live—Dreams of Our Fathers, Trouble With You, and Little Red Bird (the latter has been played, but not by DMB)—are not included.
5) Songs that are in the Defunct category, such as #36 and Leave Me Praying, are not included. However, if any of those songs happens to be played again, it will be moved from the Defunct category and retroactively considered a liberation.
6) Songs that have only ever been played with a particular guest, such as Love of My Life and Road, are not included.
Days since are as of September 2, 2011.

There are currently 119 qualifying songs that are not on the list. |

| Gorge Caravan to be webcast
|
added on 8/30/2011 |
| DMB announced this evening that all three Gorge Caravan shows will be webcast live. Unlike previous DMB webcasts, fans will need to purchase access to these. Individual nights cost $14.99, with the whole weekend costing $34.99. Part of the reason for the cost is that these shows will be webcast in high definition, which will be a significant upgrade over most of the other shows the band has webcast for free. |

As we'll be spending the summer with less DMB than we're all used to, we thought it would be fun and interesting to take a look back at historical "liberation lists." We'll update with a different year periodically over the summer. Here's what the list looked like at the end of 2007:
Days since are as of December 31, 2007.
There were 93 qualifying songs not on the list. |
