New Fan looking for Recs
Hi all-
Apologies if this is another recommendation post among a sea of them. If so, mods can delete. I am certain you have seen this story play out many times before.
I'm a late in life DMB convert. I had only really been introduced to his studio stuff and it never struck a chord. My wife has always been a huge fan so I got her front row seats recently as a nice surprise. While she predictably had the time of her life, it turns out I'm the one who may have enjoyed it the most. DMB live is INCREDIBLE.
I am hoping that the DMB heads here can point me in the right direction for stuff I should look out for. I love the uptempo stuff (two step, watchtower, tripping billies), when Dave gets "nasty" (So Right, Don't drink the water), Boyd/Bella going ham (Lie in our graves, the stone, also two step).
I am also totally open to hearing recs of songs I've already mentioned. I've become obsessed with trying to track down the best versions of their live stuff. For instance, I thought the Gorge 02 Two Step was just about the best thing I'd heard (the transition in the beginning is incredible) but then I heard the version with the Fleckstones on live trax 47 (hartford) and THAT might be the best thing i've heard.
I don't know the history of the band like you guys do but from my understanding they've gone through different "sounds" given the change in members and natural evolution. It seems like most of the stuff I've gravitated towards is early, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love the Tim Reynolds era for example, I just don't know much about it
Below is the playlist I have now. I also have (supposedly) the full catalog of DMB/Flecktones crossovers. I am very familiar with trackers etc. so availability shouldn't be an issue.
Thank you!
