[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Cool stuff. I haven't been to a Dave concert in years. Does anyone know if his newer stuff is any good? I loved his first two albums and the other stuff I've heard I didn't care for.

[dall-assblows]

boooooooooooooooooooooooo

[TheMalcolmConnection]

College stereotypes across American rejoice!

JK, seriously I agree with SGG.

I've seen Dave a couple of times and realized one thing:

If your not crazy insane about DMB, then don't see him more than once.

The first show I went to was DMB with Robert Randolph and the family, and man was it awesome. I had a blast, and never realized how awesome they were live.

I went back again the next year and was bored. He played all of these songs I have never heard of, and played like 15 minute jam sessions. It was just obnoxious. I wanted to go home early.

I really liked their last two, Busted Stuff and Stand Up, but of course it's all better live.

Ya know, I can't stand it when artists refuse to play their biggest hits because they are tired of playing them and choose, instead, to play obscure crappy songs that no one knows or likes. If I go to a DMB concert, I want to hear Satellite, Crash, Song #41 (or whatever # it is), etc.

I agree, I'm not as into them as I was 10 years ago, but I still hit a couple of shows per summer. I think I've seen them 21 times now. I'm also going to see Dave and Tim at UMass next month.

They usually do play a wide selection of stuff including their hits, but they do rotate some of them in and out depending on the tour.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I saw them a little less than a year ago. It was one of the best shows I've seen. They played many of their most popular songs, as well as some new ones.

I would definitely recommend anyone to see them.

[RobH4413]

I'm still pissed that 311 isn't touring this year.

"we need a break"... pffff. Yeah, living the tough life. Making millions of money by doing what you like. Must really suck.

I'm just playing... they've been touring non stop for like 15 years. They deserve the break, but a 311 concert is usually my high point of the summer. Plus hopefully they have time to put out an album with more than 11 tracks.

Another double album like Transistor would be nice, or how about another live album?

Red Rocks is a great one.

Douchebags and morons who care nothing about lyrics rejoice! I wish this man would have sold his bar, followed his musical calling, and fallen flat on his face only to be getting pea soup in a homeless shelter right now.

Maybe that's a bit over the top, but I can't find the appeal to Dave Matthews.

Funny because most find him to be a strong song writer.
