#27 (Lyrics)

This song was first played on 07.28.07 at a Dave & Tim show. The meaning of the name was revealed when Stefan said in an interview on Sirius satellite radio that this is the twenty-seventh song from the latest batch of songs the band has been working on. On 08.02.07 and again on 06.07.08, Dave introduced "#27" as "I Hope You'll Be By Me Then"

#34 (Lyrics)

This song made a brief span of appearances in early 1993. It was inspired by and written for Miguel Valdez, a percussionist who sat in with the band in 1992 and who passed away in early 1993. It was finally released in 1994 on Under the Table and Dreaming (track #34) as an instrumental track. It is also co-written by Haines Fullerton, an early collaborator who took his own life in September 1996. The song made a surprising comeback on 7.9.05 after a few teases earlier in the tour. This is currently the longest comeback in DMB history, at 4491 days between performances, or a little over 12 years.

All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan Cover) (Lyrics)

"Watchtower" is one of the all time most played encore songs. The band is thought to have been covering this song since their first show ever. Dave was known to have been covering it solo since before the band came together. The song became an early favorite and many old school shows where the crowd would scream "Watchtower" throughout entire show. Watchtower is one of the most guested songs and features many popular jams. It sounds hardly anything like Bob Dylan's original or the Jimi Hendrix cover. The song even has evolved over the years, dropping a verse, gaining a Stefan Solo feature intro, and a high note during "the wind began to howl". - dmbalmanac

An Another Thing (Lyrics)

This is essentially the same song as Little Thing. The name seems to have been changed to "An' Another Thing" at the last minute before the release of Some Devil, as it was called "Little Thing" in the inital press release, and a picture in the album's booklet shows that it was referred to as such in the studio, as well.
