Peter Griesar joined DMB in August 1991 (before Boyd Tinsley became an official member), but as the band's popularity grew, he realized that he did not want to devote his life to touring the country with a band, so his final show with the band was on
3.23.93, the widely-traded "Big League Chew" show.
Peter is considered a member of the band on all full-band shows from
8.21.91 to
3.13.93.
The band briefly filled Peter's absence with keyboardist
Doug Wanamaker for a few shows in March 1993, but they ultimately decided to do without keys until
Butch Taylor came on board in 1998.
