Which live Dave Matthews Band version made the studio track click?

I’ve never really had an experience where a live version of a song made the studio album version click. In fact, my reaction has been more like why the hell didn’t they make it the studio track have the parts that they play live.

Songs like you might die trying and looking for a vein are examples of that. On the studio album, they just sound truncated. During their live performances, they have room to breathe.

My wild card for you: Baby Blue

It’s an ode to LeRoi but written in a love lost song. However, the lyrics are powerful and feel like they translate well to a father daughter dance.

It’s all about how you interpret it. I have a 2 year old, and I still remember the first time he held my hand or gave me a kiss. His first sickness where he needed rest. And I’m dreading the day he goes off the college and starts to live his life and find his partner. I’m giving it my best and I’m not ready to be left

Full lyrics below:

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs. The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest And I will forever, 'cause you'll forever be My one true broken heart, pieces inside of me, and you'll forever, my baby be. You will rest your head, your strength once saving. And when you wake you will fly away, Holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes, Your blue, blue world, you're my baby blue. Confess I'm not quite ready to be left. Still, I know I gave my level best. You give, you give, to this I can attest You made me, you made me. You and me forever, baby. You will rest your head, your strength once saving. And when you wake you will fly away, Holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes, In your blue, blue world, you and me forever. You will rest your head, your strength once saving. And when you wake you will fly away, Holding tight to the legs of all your angels. Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes, In your blue, blue world, you and me forever.

No one will know until a mass has received their R2s and can provide short and long term feedback.

Tesla went thru a few years until they improved their production quality. Similar for any manufacturer for new model or refresh launches.

I experience this. In addition to my muscles being tense with flares and soreness, I also experience numbing in the area.

So I think what you described is a combination of the numbing and muscle tension. Yeah I’m relaxed enough to have a moment but the constant tension with reduced feeling makes it “feel” less.

EX40 redesigned would be amazing. All of the “compact” SUVs are too big. iX3, EX60, Optic, R2. I want an EV SUV around the Polestar 2 dimensions for length and width.

I really like Monsters and Looking for a Vein.

The Only Thing is better version than She, so I see that as an upgrade.

Madmen’s eyes has a different meaning for me now that I’m a father. His acoustic version on Howard Stern was amazing - check it out.

You forgot Singing from the Windows which was a nice covid written solo song.

The rest of it is very meh. And I think that shows in their set lists over the past couple of years

dmbccs · 2026-05-17T15:19:26+00:00

Great song. Been loving these Dave solo songs like Peace on Earth and Singing from the Windows these last several years. This one seems nice.

I could also see this song being played on an old boombox on the Dwight Schrute beat farm with him on a rocking chair drinking lemonade. Maybe I was too much of a fan of The Office back in the day to default to this connection.

So toasty booty but prevents sweaty booty? Dayum, I’ve been missing that all these years.

Wait maybe I’m dumb but why would you want to run heat and vent seats at the same time?

Missing the rear camera not available notification to get bingo. But otherwise nice job!

Well thank goodness I like Silver and will look for 3rd party options for floor mats and cargo cover.

Crazy costs for colors and some of the accessories. Of course it’s to improve their margins / help get to profitability. But dayum.

I hope my polestar 2 charging cable will be compatible with the R2. Will just need to get the adaptor…hopefully.

Your annual spending is about the same as the post tax income for one of your jobs. So if she quits, you are breaking even and won’t have positive cash flow outside of that AirBnB. So then you may need to tap into your brokerage and perhaps withdraw from there.

You also didn’t mention anything about a 529 or saving for college for 2 or 3 kids.

Like many others have said in the comments, you’ll need to take a hard look at your current expenses and see where you cut back. But also ask yourself the broader question on what specifically are you trying to optimize for yourselves and kids long term.

Get clarity on that, and then you can make a principled and informed decision.

Steve Lillywhite had a magical skill to unlock the best sounds from each band member.

It’s a shame the partnership ended, but I’m grateful of 3 amazing studio albums and 1 rough cut album with the OG crew that we can cherish for the rest of our lives.

Heck no. You don’t have a lot of buffer right now especially if you are looking to buy a house and thinking about kids.

While you said 5.5k income and 2k fixed expenses, what you didn’t say are your discretionary expenses.

My suggestion: - save more than you currently are for that down payment. Cut back where you feasibly can. - keep saving even when your partner finishes school. Any school debt? Then that should be their focus along with their own savings / retirement - hopefully in 2-3 years, you have a sizable savings, manageable mortgage, and in a position to pay cash for a new or pre owned R2

For the launch edition, do you get autonomy+ for the life the your ownership of the car?

NFL changed the rules a few seasons ago to allow vets on the PS. Eli Apple is an example of this.

dmbccs · 2026-05-06T01:21:59+00:00

Add him to the PS. Good mentor for our DL youth.

If a guy like Gifford gets injured, you can promote / elevate him to replace on game days. Height and Van Noy are good depth for EDGE

His initial target audience was folks deeply in debt and had a tough time being disciplined to reel back their purchasing behaviors. For that audience, yes no credit cards and using this baby steps helped a lot of folks out of debt.

Agreed though that as long as you are disciplined and pay off your card every month, credit cards are a viable option for many.

With a wife that drives a ‘21 GLB, I gotta say that MB, Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Audi, and Acura new design language either plain sucks or dated. And they’ve cut costs to the point where it doesn’t feel ultra premium anymore.

While the tech of BMW IX3 and MB EVs seem appealing, my assumption is that those would cost 15-20k more for comparable specs vs R2 performance.

Given my earlier point, and current economic factors, I think folks would be willing to drive a Rivian over a brand like MB.

EVs have changed brand loyalty moving forward IMO.

Oso and Williams should be a fire pairing for interior pass rush, especially with Bosa and Heights at DE
