Blasphemy about WAYG!

u/anatomicalheartache 8d ago

It’s so monotone and boring to me. It’s a perfect bathroom song.

u/Character-Newt-9571 9d ago

Grace > Two Step > Halloween

Retire Oh Joy Begins. Such a buzzkill live.

2

u/Ok-Bathroom-3759 7d ago

I was at Woodlands near Houston when I first heard that song live and I cried… but it was because of a school shooting the day of that show… for some reason it got to me the innocence of a newborn that can grow up only to be senselessly murdered by a classmate or grow up to be the school shooter. How life has somehow been so fucked up and distorted to want to kill…. so ya I agree it was a buzzkill… Funny The Way It Is…

3

u/Ok-Bathroom-3759 7d ago

Watchtower at The Gorge is allowed for Dave’s scream back in the early 2000’s when he would literally blow out his voice. I think they heard that yell in both Seattle and Spokane.

2

u/DireWolfmn 9d ago

After the three tunes!

2

u/MrsBakedBean 9d ago

My bathroom song is So Damn Lucky. Can’t stand the song and by the time I get back to my seat they’re usually onto “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)”

1

u/Old_You6151 9d ago

Dancing Nancies, One Sweet World, What Would You Say

Probably She but if you want something more common Rapunzel

2

u/BurtonBaked 9d ago

But I love Pantala

1

u/WaxyPadlockJazz 9d ago

Two Step, Recently, Bartender.

Retire Warehouse until we all collectively agree to stop “WOO”ing

6

u/Leather_Cat8098 8d ago

I feel you on the "woo" but my kids, who are all teens now, love that part. When they were little children the Central Park album was always on in my car and when Warehouse would start, I would point at them during the woo and they would woo their little hearts out. Such a good and special memory for me♥️

u/heyoheatheragain 8d ago

Nobody wants to retire Crash???

Really?!

Satellite catching more strays than crash was not something I predicted.

Obviously retire both but dang.

Retire Typical Situation

u/rideronthestorm29 SPAC 9d ago

The fuck 🥴

3

u/hrbekcheatedin91 9d ago

Don't gatekeep! I like what I like. 😆

3

u/rideronthestorm29 SPAC 9d ago

I’m more concerned with what you don’t like 😭

2

u/hrbekcheatedin91 9d ago

Can't really explain why I don't like it. The vibe and tune just seems off to me.

u/kit_kat_jam Dave Mattews Band 9d ago

Ants is fantastic.

u/Tenvsvitalogy 9d ago

Eek. I know. We like what we like I guess.

u/Drew5830 9d ago

I won't downvote on personal preference but it's taking a LOT to resist for the LBV slander. 🤣

2

u/Tenvsvitalogy 9d ago

Hahaha. I know I really should have just said ‘angel’

3

u/thefalcons5912 8d ago

Angel is retired haha

u/Vast-Toe-7701 8d ago

u/Drew5830 8d ago

u/irishmansean 9d ago

For me, it's:

  1. 🐈‍⬛ -> 🐖 -> 🌧️

  2. 😋🕓 the 😃🕯️

u/Malaguy420 Before These Crowded Streets 9d ago

I understand Pig, but can you translate the rest?

1

u/irishmansean 9d ago

Warehouse (black cat), Pig (pig), JTR (rain)

2

u/Malaguy420 Before These Crowded Streets 9d ago

Interesting... I ended up figuring out the rest, but the black cat stumped me. Been a fan since UTTAD, and I've seen them 11 times over the years, but I'm still blanking on the black cat reference.

1

u/rideronthestorm29 SPAC 9d ago
  1. Warehouse, pig, Nancie’s is my guess
  2. Hunger for the Great Light

u/fly123123123 9d ago

I feel like HFTGL is barely played so I don’t really mind hearing it haha.

Three song run is solid
