DMBlive Vol. 5

A near-flawless setlist meets near-flawless performances. Dave and Tim are near their best both individually and as a duo; I love in particular how Tim seamlessly shifts between playing lead at a higher register and bass-like accompaniments at the low end. The dialogue is very good, although not at the level of DL4. It's hard to pick favorites from this show, but if limited to five I would say STAY OR LEAVE, GRAVEDIGGER, LIE IN, CRUSH, and NANCIES. Also of note is Tim's cover of AFTER THE GOLD RUSH, one of my favorite Neil Young songs and properly done justice here. The only downside to this release is the audio quality, although a friend was able to clean it up to a much higher standard.
