DMB disappointed
Well, this was our 3rd DMB concert. Saw him in 2010 and 2012. Was pretty disappointed in some of the song selection. Some were great -- Song that Jane Likes, Sister, You Might Die Trying were highlights of some he doesn't normally do. All 3 concerts he has done Don't Drink the Water, Jimi Thing, So Much to Say, and a few others. Didn't do any from Busted Stuff. Did a lot from Stand Up, and only one from Grux -- of course, You and Me; and did a few from his new release -- those were good. Only did Jimi Thing for the encore and ended it by repeatedly singing "sexy motherf.....r" for about 4 minutes. Did not do many songs overall because he plays so much instrumental in half of them. I know many like that, but when you hear almost the same set every time you go, it would be nice to hear a few more. Venue was comfortable and good, but food selection was awful in the actual amphitheater.

Rocking Summerfest!
Played for nearly THREE hours with lots of energy! My only negative would be the extended intervals between songs as he decided the next song to perform.

Great Band! Fairly intimate venue! The setlist was on fire and the band brought a ton of energy.

Dave was great!
The video screens went out for a while and it seemed as though they were having technical difficulties. Not the greatest streamlined show but I’d see DMB anywhere.

Meh
I love Dave more than anything and it hurts my heart to say this but I was not impressed at all. I recently lost a person that I was very close with and listening to Dave was our thing. So this concert was something that was suppose to help me remember him and the amazing times we have had together. Maybe he had some personal things going on that affected his performance and if that is so than I am sorry he is going through that. I am not sure if he will ever read this but if he does I wanna say that I will continue to go to Dave concerts in fact I am going to see him play in Washington. I will do this because I love him and everything that he represents. Please Dave if you see this bring back your old shows they mean so much to me!

Dave Matthews Band
Always a great show, and great weather. The tail gaiting is always a must too.
Dave Matthews Band in Concert
With a career spanning more than 27 years, Dave Matthews Band is one of the most influential bands in rock history. In 1991, vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape and sought the assistance of drummer Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who were both accomplished jazz musicians in the local Charlottesville, VA music scene. 16-year-old bassist Stefan Lessard came on board shortly thereafter. Their infectious, distinctive sound garnered lots of early attention and a die-hard loyal fan base, catapulting the band into one of the most successful touring acts of the past three decades.
The group has since released nine studio albums and numerous live recordings, selling a collective 38 million CDs and DVDs combined since the 1994 release of its major label debut, Under the Table and Dreaming. The GRAMMY®-winning band's many hits include "What Would You Say," "Crash Into Me," "Too Much," "Everyday," "American Baby," "Funny The Way It Is," "Mercy" and "Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin)."
Founding member LeRoi Moore passed away in August of 2008 and the band paid tribute to him with 2009's Platinum-certified Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. Dave Matthews Band has since welcomed longtime collaborators/touring musicians Jeff Coffin (saxophone), Rashawn Ross (horns) and Tim Reynolds (guitar) into the lineup and - most recently - keyboardist Buddy Strong.
With 2018's Come Tomorrow, Dave Matthews Band became the first group in history to have seven consecutive studio albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In a Critic's Pick review, The New York Times observed, "willed optimism fills the songs on 'Come Tomorrow,' while cynicism and irony are nowhere within earshot... each song notes the fears and sorrows it's determined to overcome. The music does that, with consolation in its melodies and a life force in its rhythms."
Renowned for their live performances, Dave Matthews Band has sold over 24 million tickets since its inception and ranked as the biggest ticket seller worldwide of the past decade. The group's Bama Works Fund, established in 1999, has raised more than $52 million dollars for humanitarian and environmental initiatives.
