Lyrics

Best of What's Around, The (Lyrics)
"BOWA" is one of those songs that has been around since the beginning, yet hasn't changed much throughout the years. In the early years, it was often played as a Dave solo feature early on in the setlist. As the years passed, its role remained strong as a great song to play early in the setlist to set the dmb mood for a show. It has one of the lowest all-time average setlist slot numbers (4.3). It also briefly served as a great 1-2 combo after the old Two Steps of 94-95. In 2000, the song served as a feature for the Lovely Ladies, who added their voices to the spirit of the song. Surprisingly, the Spring 2002 tour was the first tour in which BOWA was as a missing song. - dmbalmanac

Big Eyed Fish (Lyrics)
Also known as "One Eyed Fish" this is one of the few songs to have been teased in concert before it was fully played. Having been recorded in the Lillywhite Studio Sessions, Big Eyed Fish was released through a demo leak and became incredibly popular with fans. Known to have been soundchecked in 2000, fans knew the song had a high potential to be played in 2001 and drew up signs for it early on on the 2001 summer tour. And as the teases foreshadowed, the song made its debut in the encore of 5.14.01 as "Fish Monkey Man" on the 2001 Summer Tour. It quickly developed into the band's showpiece as classic 1-2 combo with Bartender featuring Roi on the Pennywhistle bridge. Since then, it has only been played full band a few times without preceding Bartender. When it is played into Bartender, song time ends as soon as Boyd's droning intro becomes the most prominent thing you hear. - dmbalmanac

Black Water (Doobie Brothers Covers) (Lyrics)
Black Water (Doobie Brothers Cover): Originally released by the Doobie Brothers in 1974 on the album What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits. In 2006 versions of Grace is Gone, Boyd's solo took on a lot of characteristics of Black Water. In 2007, it became more than a solo or interpolation, with Dave & Carter singing lyrics over the section. - dmbalmanac

Blackjack (Lyrics)

ong from the "Stand Up" sessions. Debuted in 2010 and has been played on various occasions since. There are no official lyrics for this song and parts have been sketchy due to Dave's scatting. The chorus has primarily stayed consistent through-out each performance.
