I was thinking about this the other day. My DMB listening peaked about a year or two ago, when I'd listen to them everyday. Now, I rarely listen to them though I still consider them one of my favorite bands.
So, the question is, how often do you listen to DMB?

I would say weekly, now. I used to listen to DMB all day, every day. It was odd for me to listen to anything else but DMB, actually.
Now.. it's not that I don't like the band (obviously, I do) it's just that I know it all.. I know every intro, every jam, every surprise before it's sprung upon us. The community has allowed me to be knowledgeable to the point where it's predictable. This is not a bad thing, I'm just sayin'.
I'll always love DMB. But, truth be told, I go to less shows now and when I do go, it's more for the people.. for the constant gathering of all of my friends who I wouldn't normally get to see.

not that often anymore. i'll probably throw in one of their cd's if i'm in the mood, but that's usually only every couple weeks or so.

yeh it's definitely more fun seeing everyone before a show. i find that the people can make or break shows for me. people in the venue in particular, everyone's sat next to someone that really messed up their mood i'm sure.
During the spring and summer I find i listen to them at least once a week. during the fall and winter i listen to more dave and tim and some D&F. concert season's over and the mood of the year is changing.
I go through phases, some times i'll have one CD in my car for a week. sometimes i won't listen to them all month, and that's true for me with any artist no just dmb.

it comes in waves. when tour is announced i listen a lot, the week or two before show i tend to listen to the live shows from the current tour to get a feel for the way they're playing. only once in a while will i sit and listen to an album....and when that happens, it's almost always btcs. i'd say if you spread it out, it's about weekly...

At their concerts is pretty much it for me these days. Always have a blast when I'm there though...

I'm still an every <space> day listener, though probably more realistically every other or 3rd day at the least. I try to keep it varied, and I'll put one artist or album on my mp3 player, then when that's over I'll look through my artist list and see what jumps out at me. Sometimes a song pops in my head from a certain album and I'll know I wanna listen to that next.
I have a 12 cd changer in my Jeep and I usually make the first 6 cds DMB. I need to buy the latest Live Trax and stuff to get more variety, and I feel like I need more nDMB music to get into. I have about 20gb of music and 9.2gb is DMB, so it's not a bad balance, just need more variety in both areas.

I listen to them whenever they come up on my iPod shuffle. I voted "shut your damn pie-hole" alos, because ... well, it's funny. :)

I used to listen to them everyday. Actually, it's only been a couple of months now that I can relate to what most of the people in here were saying. My peak listening has probably just passed and I never imagined that I would stop listening to them everyday, but I have. My answer would still be weekly though.

It depends, I peak and slump a lot.
Phish and Umphrey's have been taking up a lot of my free time lately though.
