This is so cool 😎 Would have loved to have been at this show 😌 Before These Crowded Streets is the first DMB CD I owned. Received as a gift from a college friend - probably because I kept "borrowing" her Under The Table And Dreaming 🤣

Ok but now tour the full album 😈

It was amazing. Two sets next year? 1 of BTCS, 1 of a random mix. Flecktones open all summer. Bring the music to the people who can’t make it to the gorge

Wish I could have been there! Would love to hear more about how it came to be from who suggested it through to the execution - what a night!

This rules

Dude I was in the crowd having a great time. Got back to my spot and was like “they did what” I totally didn’t catch it until after. We were in a dancing frenzy ☮️ 💜

Bravo man. You made so many people so happy. Flecktones too?! Goose tonight!!!? I think we need a blu ray of this entire weekend. Hats off to yall! Enjoy the victory lap tonight

Wow so cool! Sorry I missed it

I'm so sad I missed it. Would you release a live album of that night?

Greatest album of all time, IMO. You guys, to my untrained ear, were firing on all cylinders recording it. No track missed. No note seemed to miss. Just all around musical perfection.

It was absolutely magical 🤯 I'm grateful to have been there to experience it all. It also marked our 20th anniversary of making the annual pilgrimage to the Gorge! What a weekend and 1 more night to go!!

@slessard.bsky.social how does an idea like that brew? Such an incredible experience. I always appreciate the thought that goes into the order songs are on an album. I give them at least one listen all the way through and am always happy when an album is a “no skips” for me. BTCS is a one of those!

I need allll the details about how this was decided! Best. Night. Evah!

how did that idea come about and was it hard to pull off?

Incredible!

I didn't catch on until Stay and no one around me believed me and then Halloween happened...Again thank you guys for an amazing night. Not sure how you top that tonight. lol

SAME. Was overjoyed to have Bela on Last Stop/DDTW and then I went, wait, if they play Stay next... Then after Stay I thought, if they play Halloween, this place is going to come undone. I have never heard a crowd roar like that. I just stared with tears in my eyes for half the song, stunned.

I had a fleeting thought mid last stop, became very aware during DDTW and said to my partner if they play Stay next they are running through the album front to back, then it just soared from there.

So epic, wish I could’ve been there. Cheers to everyone that got to experience it in person!

Still can't find my face, and I'm in Ohio

Have to make it a Live Trax immediately. ❤️

Amazing

Only 12 songs needed to finish off UTTAD and Crash 😉

It was incredible!

This is my 1st Gorge weekend and I’ve been a fan for 30+ years. My sincerest and deepest thanks!!!!!

That was amazing! Thank you!

Epic night. Thank you. Thank you for being.

Also - please add Jake Simpson permanently to the band!! Insane talent and the crowd is LOVING it!!!

The last two nights have been absolutely epic!!! So incredibly blessed to have witnessed these shows, best we’ve ever seen!

The Monday Labor Dave blues is real. American Baby and Grace breakouts last night…most epic weekend ever! Heading back home to Oregon.

Holy freaking crap I can't wait to listen to this! Thank you!!

I can’t wait to listen to a recording of this!! Amazing surprise for those in attendance!

Absolutely need more details on this. What an insane way to do it. With bela and Jake there too to fill out the sound. Not to mention the flecktones 41?!! Insane! All time show last night. Wish I had been there.

That makes it even better. I wish I could have seen your faces when you found out. He had to have been planning it before he wrote Friday's list, so he just sat quietly on that all day? 🤣 Tremendous. Thank you. Truly. This whole weekend has been staggeringly transcendent. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏💚

Excellent point that wouldn’t occur to most people. I figured we’d get a lot of BTCS bc of Bela being there… but what transpired Sat night was beyond next level

Absolutely epic run this weekend at the Gorge ☺️🙏 THANK YOU

Was amazing in the venue. Curious how much having Bela there AND a talented violin player who clearly knows the songs played into making this happen? What a magical evening! Thank you!

🔥🔥🔥

Yall just keep rocking my face off, even after 17 years of coming to the Gorge 🤘❤️ @slessard.bsky.social

Last night might have been my favorite DMB show in 28 years. 🙏🏽🙌🏽

Loved the decision, Fonz. DMB’s quintessential album. I chose my son’s first game in the CU Golden Buffalo Marching Band on Friday over a trek to the Gorge. Would love to see you tour this idea… similar to U2 Joshua Tree / Sphere. Enjoy N3!

how does this come up? Did he tell ya before/when you saw it written out.... did he just wait for you to connect the dots... had it been talked about before??

Who decided this? How was it decided?

That was AMAZING and Jake was such a great addition! What a freaking good night!!

FanFntastic! Jerry (me) Jake and Jeff… really great guy. He was telling us how mind blowing it was standing on the side of the stage (when he wasn’t out there) witnessing that album being played in full

EPIC!

Truly insane I’m bummed I missed it! But show #47 in LA was pretty great too!

Wished I could have been there. Truly love you all. The music to the causes you support -sometimes it’s the only light in these dark days. Thanks for being you.

And it was incredible!! Can’t wait for night 3

What?! Absolutely phenomenal!!! Been coming to the Gorge since 2001 and you still surprise us. Thank you!!!

I was so busy dancing and singing to all the songs, because that album is my fave DMB album, that I didn't realize what was happening until Spoon 🤣🤣🤣

Our only question is (REALLY) how are you guys going to top N2?! Sending our love from NH!

I love that energy 😆

Wish I was there ☹️. Somebody I'll get to the Gorge.

It was the best surprise

And what a joyful experience it was! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
