Dave Matthews Band - Halloween - Randall's Island 9.18.2011

Is not the HOLY GRAIL of live songs by DMB = Get In Line or Blue Water is...tell me the last times you ever heard those LIVE tunes but DMB - Halloween lost this special vibe this year by being many times by DMB and D&T. It is not special any more.

@kissmusiclover Well when the entire crowd starts chanting for Get In Line or Blue Water like they do for Halloween (and Last Stop), I'll start considering those as Holy Grail songs. When the full band hasn't played them for 17-18 years and pretty much has no intention of ever doing so again, that kinda kills the Holy Grail vibe. At least they still pull Halloween and Last Stop out on occasion for the "bigger" shows.

@mthawk07 I heard crowd chant over and over for Blue Water and Get In Line and only some drunken fools yell out Halloween all the time like it was Freebird or a Skynard tune. To me it is that jock mentality that makes Dave and DMB really not what to play Halloween at times. Dave really hates when some drunken people yell out 'Halloween'. He mentioned time and time again that when people yell 'Halloween' makes him really not want to play that song. That is the reason why they DON'T play it alot
