Thanks for the kind words and info Bartender – it’s great to hear where that intro comes from.

55 shows – I can only dream! An email is heading your way too – I must have more Dave.

Cheers!

Daniel,

I’m really impressed w/ your article on the recent UK shows. As an adoring fan (over 55 shows in the states) I can relate to much of what you discuss. I’m the guy who’s laughing at the stories, singing all the words and (almost) hitting the pitch correctly.

I’d be happy to get you some live stuff from dave solo or the entire band. Shoot me an email and let me know.

p.s. The intro/outro to Everyday that the crowd initiated was from the dmb song #36 which Dave sings “Hani, Hani” about the late chris hani. “Everyday” was modeled after the song and instantly the songs because a part of one another. Very rarely do you hear Everyday w/out the #36 parts and even more rare (possibly never again) will you hear just a #36. Cheers.

Ouch: Sorry mate, I’d be gutted too. I heard about it because I’m on the See Tickets mailing list. It might be worth signing up.

And if it’s any consolation, it was Dave alone, not DMB. Yeah, thought not.

Maybe this will help: He’s made lots of comments at the three gigs about coming back and bringing the band. I suspect you’ll get a chance to see him again soon…
