DMB SBC Soundcheck 8.11.05

[letsgopsu2001]

I have listened to this song for the past few years....and in all honesty, I have no idea what it could be. Absolutely beautiful. Could be an outro for Bartender, but the bass Stefan is playing at the end proves differently. Just a priceless piece of music I hope develops into something during their year 'off'. Thanks for the upload.

[GreyStreet46]

Im pretty sure this derived from dreaming tree

[dmbandgroove]

Even soundchecks should be considered songs

[Packers40]

pretty sure they didnt play on the 11th in '05

[Packers40]

ok, chances are that DMB didnt play on the 11th, but more like the 12th and 13th

[SolSedano1]

It reminds me of a "Bartender" outro, with the way Dave is wailing like that and I think its in a key of D.

[Trendall]

@SolSedano1 It's in E

[wes2340]

This sound check is what started an obsession on finding rare/unheard dave stuff. the melody and dave's wailing in this is just amazing. I wish there was some way of knowing what happened to this little jam. it could be an unheard song, but truly its probably just a made up little jam that they came up with during this sound check.

[JTR1414]

It's just like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? The world may never know.

[americanemu25]

dreaming tree is uaually around 160 bpm, and this is around 140 bpm...but its possible it could be a slower dreaming tree i guess...and yes i tested it

[dmb0091]

def not dreaming tree outro..

[dmbluewater]

its in 7/8 time signature...so is dreaming tree and the end sounds a lot like the dreaming tree outro after the jam

[Trendall]

No, it's not The Dreaming Tree. That's in the key of D. This is in the key of E. Two totally unrelated keys.

[pciochetto]

huge fan lots a shows all the livetrax/bnps you could ask for and....this is new to me......what else do these guys have hidden? They haven,t even peaked yet......

[jamie69247]

i think it is machead, y they dont play ii is beyond me?

[LightMast]

It sure does sound like something from the BTCS era.

[JTR1414]

I never thought of that before

[tmacdrew]

I definitely hear some "Raven" from Boyd around the 50 sec mark

[fergusonat]

Sounds a lot like Squirm... ;-)

[rcktownonlockdown]

thesse guys have so much great stuff they dont ever or rarely play it drives me nuts....I wish they would take more chances.......

[McD4You]

This gives me chills every single time...

I don't care what it's called, but this needs to be released...it's an unreal piece of music.

[dmb0091]

boyds violin sounds similar to the studio song that surfaced last week.. Pretty similar in all..

[stratinthehat0414]

i can not stop listening to this song. simply a joy. love dmb, please be on next album.

[StewMuz]

This needs to be released. This could be an instant DMB classic. So much better than anything on Stand Up or Everyday.

[harrisc42]

This is a hidden gem by DMB. The mystery song. Not even dmbalmanac knows what it is. But it sounds awesome. I pray...it will find the light of day.

[twostep03]

machead...?

[harrisc42]

I've heard that also. I guess since machead isn't even proven to exist, dmbalmanac can't say it.  I can't stop watching this. The groove in this song is amazing.

[TannerDMB41]

god damn it sounds so gooood

[DancingNanc]

The drums sound similar but as stated below it is completely different then DT.

[Seanyboy52692]

sounds like the end of Dreaming Tree

[pelle209]

carters beat is similar to, but norhing more

[DancingNanc]

I F***ING LOVE THIS SONG!!! Please be on the next album. I would probably cry.

[bilo0718]

simply great harmony...

[z71ncsu]

If it were Machead, How would one know what that sounded like? I didn't think that any recordings of the song existed. I could be wrong though and I really hope I am.

[Sodamlucky27]

Is it..Could it be?? YES, it is! Machead!!!

[eeixen]

Where is this now?

[pkbball10]

What is this?? I have goosebumps...this sounds amazing

[philberz]

DAMN.......DMB classic in the making

[TannerDMB41]

Don't EVER delete this video..

Please be on the new album.. Goosebumps everytime..

[douglaskg]

The song goes back and forth from E to A ala Minarets, but its obviously not Minarets... but that also rules Dreaming Tree out

[dd783]

Well we've started another tour and still no sign of what this is/turned out to be. Anyone know?

[opr8n]

sounds like the end of dreaming tree alla 2007, interesting, i like it, i dont think its a song, but rather a jam ending something??

[jordanxxx]

Machead??

[JayBTV]

Hey doucebag stop spamming all the DMB videos.

[critttter]

they sound checked the day before

[dANc1nGd3viL]

they played at sbc park on 8.12.05 and 8.13.05, but they didn't play on the 11th...

[hudmeister]

usually when the band plays a two night stand, they get there the day before and do the soundcheck then...it doesn't mean they played a show that day.

[proppenator]

too bad there is virtually NO chance of this showing up on the next album...this is the best thing I've heard from them in years.

[JayBTV]

Why would you say that? Stefan put this on his Facebook (and it's still there) - so he definitely knows about it.

I wouldn't say it's probable but at least we know someone from the band remembers it....

[Seanyboy52692]

Wow, this is really haunting, who knows, this jam might turn up.

[dvalukis]

such a cool song. this needs to come back and develop into something.

[L0stReveries]

The drumming is very similar to the end of The Dreaming Tree..

[leaveonlyfootprints]

wow good call, it's almost identical.

[ncstfan123]

this needs to be a song!

[maherhar102502]

someones playing harmonica

[trmbone13]

Thats a combination of the violin and guitar. Its gets distorted because of the distance from the stage and the poor audio recording.

[focus2aus]

Well it's been two years now since that day so who knows whatever happened to it or if that little jam will resurface in a new song

[dmbsnowboarder8]

dude this is sick man i wonder if it will ever be released  and yes soooo much potential

[Trendall]

Damn, this sounds amazing. Anyone know if there are any other versions of this song floating around?

[celebi23]

bunke, yeah, I know. It's kinda sad actually

[alexbunke]

So much potential.

[colossaldonut]

whatever this is, random jam or the idea for a new song, i like it. i like it a lot!

[sndman40]

It's how they get written...
