Hartford Stage Bum-rushed, Jimmy Buffet Covers DMB
June 20th, 2005
 

Say Cheese Dave,

 

We didn't get a newsletter out last week. This was only the second week in a year and a half that a Davespeak hasn't been posted on the site. Whoooops.

Bonnaroo proved to be quite an event, both musically diverse and fruitful to Weekly Davespeak. DMB's lighting designer, Fenton Williams, has confirmed a second interview with us this summer. We're putting together a set of new questions for him. If you have questions you'd like to submit, please send them to submissions[at]weeklydavespeak[dot]com. Be sure to read last year's interview before sending something in.

We also did a few interesting interviews we'll be sharing in the next few weeks and made a number of important contacts. Special thanks to Brandon and his crew for showing us some southern hospitality out there.

  • DMB Bum-Rushed / Bryan's High-Res Hartford Pictures
    Get a friggin' clue.

    A couple of idiotic concert attendees, (we hesitate to call them fans), rushed the stage at Hartford last night. In the process they knocked over Roi's Sax stand and supposedly gave Stefan a knock.

    Hartford has proved to be a not so happy place for DMB, with Riots and a stank-ass land-fill.(Link goes to old Davespeak about Hartford). Some fans are pondering whether DMB will return to the venue next year. I'm sure there are some Canadians out there who would appreciate a few more dates up north.

    In other semi-related news, Bryan captured some pretty cool shots from the show, you can check them out here. I uploaded a zip with four high resolution versions, they are available in this thread.


    Jimmy Buffet Covers DMB

    For the first time ever, Jimmy Buffet covered DMB's Tripping Billies at his 6-15-05 show. He made a comment that him and Dave had been talking about working on some "things" together.

    Link goes directly to download an mp3 of the performance. See the thread of the week for discussion on the tune.


    Thread of the week: Tripping on Jimmy Buffet

    Always4036 brought us the news of Jummy Buffet's recent cover of Tripping Billies. There was a fair amount of criticism of the performance. Check out this thread for a download, and feel free to post your own review of the song.


    Davespeak: Precipitation Present

    "Thank you very much, thank you Too Much. Summertime, summertime goody good. I hope everyone's good up on the lawn over there. They said it was going to rain but there doesn't seem to be an precipitation present. Except for the water drippin' from my head. Story something went wrong a little south from here, Story something went wrong. Madapaway."


    2005 Warehouse Ticket Scans

    Erin, aka Kat71578 submitted scans of her 2005 Warehouse Tickets. We're currently collecting scans of other tickets: Box Seat tickets, any special bracelets or badges are also cool.

    If you have a lounge, crew, or meet and greet sticker--you can scan it and send it in but to protect the security of the shows we will not post these until the tour completes in September.

    Check out the tickets.
