every show is unique. from different set lists, to how each song isn't quite played the same each time/tour. my favorite are the extended #41 jams. and the rare treats when #40 or pig resurface at a show or two.
Jorge-
Pig is no longer a "rare" occurance. #40 most certainly still is, as are many of the little tidbits found within songs ("Fools Rush In" in Crush; Norwegian Wood within Pay For What You Get; Specific intros into Two Step are among my favorites)
A very rare occurance now is to hear a duet on I'll Back You Up.
A neat thing that sets DMB apart is how they play their songs. Within my top 5 of their songs is Dancing Nancies and I've had the pleasure of hearing it played in different keys, with different intros, as different Genres (Imagine Flamanco!). The only other band I've had the pleasure to witness this with is Counting Crows who will play Mr Jones as either a slow, depressing song like it was truly written, or the upbeat fun recording as on the albumn.
My current favorite DMB song to witness this within is #41 when comparing his current method of playing it to how it was recorded at Luther College for the albumn in '95. The D&T version is very mystical and illusion filled while the current manner is incredibly musical and complex. WOW! I love their music!
