This thread is now open.

From the Almanac:

The Gorge Amphitheater is one of, if not the, most famous venues in dmb history. Aside from Trax and Floodzone, it is the most often visited venue by the band and has been sold out every show they've played.

DMB first played at The Gorge in 1996 as part of the HORDE Festival. The next couple of years they were on their own but only played one night stands. In 2000 DMB started their traditional three nights at the Gorge, but it was 2002 (N1, N2, N3) when they first played over a Labor Day Weekend, which also was released as their first box set. In 2004, N2 was the only show that tour that did not feature Hello Again. They covered Blackbird for the first time here in 2005, which was completely unplanned. 2006 saw the first time Seek Up wasn't played at either a single or multi night run at The Gorge. 2007, N2, had the tour debuts of Smooth Rider (which featured Robert Randolph) and The Stone, and on N3, Dave, Rashawn and Joe Lawlor guested during RR's set on Love is the Only Way.

Last year the band celebrated their 29th, 30th, and 31st shows at The Gorge. It was quite a weekend, which included chants for Roi, glowsticks, lots of emotion from the band, fans and crew that shared not only sadness but helped start the healing process from the loss of our friend LeRoi Moore, and each night the encore included a touching video tribute to Roi set to the music of #34.

I'm way jealous of all that get to go see Dave at the gorge. Especially since I am a Utahn DMB fn that has had to suffer 2 cancled shows in 2 years. The first one was totalll understandable since Leroi had passed. But what are the chances he would have strained vocal chords and be forced to cancel another SLC show the very next year? It really blows. I hope they rescedule. Or do a 2 night show in SLC next year. Buh! I am so frustrated!

The fans make you famous dave. Please come back to SLC this year.
