They have arrived. Dave & Tim blew up Hollywood Boulevard's Pantages Theatre with a stunning show playing for what seemed like two and a half hours or so, jazzing up a difficult to understand L.A. crowd. The theatre found a mix of college students, yuppies, and Hollywood locals, even catching a glimpse of some parents with their high-school cargo. All the same, they had a ton of energy with most people looking like they expected a good show. Dave & Tim rose to the occasion opening with an all-time favorite "Two Step" and a dreamy "One Sweet World." Dave seemed a bit more quirky and crazy than usual, with frequent jokes and tales, still remembering to pop-off ever so often to a rowdy L.A. crowd. After two days in California, Dave & Tim played for the first time here "Proudest Monkey" followed by a crowd sing-along to "Satellite." Everything aside, it is a great tune to hear them do live, it'll never get old done that way. My favorite parts of the show found the duo first pairing a jived-out "Too Much" and a bluff "Tangerine" intro into a powerful "Spoon" finding Tim & Dave pounding its finish. It's not everyday you get to hear those two tunes that way. But the major highlights, in my opinion, were Dave & Tim's frolicking "Say Goodbye," which appeared to be brand-spanking-new, and Dave's remarkable selection of "Beauty of Wynona," giving a real treasure to his fans in Los Angeles. Thanks Dave. He followed that with a crowd-pleasing "Christmas Song" then closed with an awesome "Dancing Nancies" jam. It is great to see them close with some variance, especially when they had kept that classic from Arlington only to light its fuse for the Pantages' closing. As always, Dave & Tim keep it real switching up the setlist as they leave out The Maker, Halloween, Seek Up, and If I Had a Boat, also saving Warehouse's "Louie Louie" from an undeserving Los Angeles audience. Here's a quick tip… when a man is on stage solo, jamming and plucking his strings like no one in the world can, it would be nice if the crowd wouldn't start buzzing with bathroom-break chatter like a bunch of gum-smacking eighth graders. It is simply rude. As for Dave and Tim's performance… wow.

Dave and Tim kicked some ass. It really seemed like Tim was more excited as he did his solos, and despite Dave being tired, he still put out a great show. I've always thought that BTCS was not up to the DMB standard, but the songs individually in concert are really quite different and more intense and in turn, they totally exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed hearing the new stuff, and the different outros. I did miss some of the earlier songs like The Maker and Granny, but the show was still stocked with classics, including Ants Marching which I thought was going to be excluded completely from the tour. Now, I've only been to a couple of these Dave and Tim shows, but it seemed like the LA audience was pretty damn rude. I despise people who are intent on saving the potty breaks for Tim's solos (which were exceptional), and whats up with the talking in the middle of the songs?! I could really do without that. A good attempt by a few of the girls in the front row to get #40 in there by spreading out signs to everybody, alas, no success. An awesome performance all the way around.
