Dave Matthews Band

[fryer98 30]

Where's the fans out there?Anyone hitting up this summer's tour? I was at Pittsburgh (Burgettstown), PA on 8/10. Good show, but far from the best I've seen.

DMB is one of the finer things in life.

seen em an even dozen times (6 times from first 12 rows, including 1st and 2nd). Basically, they peaked about 6 years ago. I still loves me some dave matthews band but can't bring myself to shell out for the warehouse membership after I got screwed 2 years in a row. their next studio album needs to show a significant amount of more work / creativity than the previous two. I'm also very excited for the dave and tim album about to come out.also, less you doubt my devotion as a fan, note the chet atkins sst signed on my poker room wall.

Thats a sweet poker room setup.

Dave Matthews is music you are supposed to grow out of after high school. And it is not singing if you cant understand any words; it is just moaning and yawning or something.

goulet. I actually dont mind DMB at all but my wife is a huge fan and I always tease her about it.......

That's just not true........I wore 32-34" pants in HS!

Dave Matthews Band...Crash was one of the first two albums that I ever bought, and they've been my favorite band ever since. Fortunately/unfortunately, they were quite trendy when I got to college, so then I got to feel like a poser. That said, I actually haven't liked too many of the recent albums aside from the Lillywhite Sessions as much as I like the old stuff. Sadly, I've never gotten around to seeing them in concert.

Yeah, agreed. I have the new Live @ Radio City album, it's okay but about halfway through disc 2 the guitars stop being in tune with each other and that just DRIVES ME CRAZY. Not as good as Luther College.

I'm actually a pretty big fan of "Stand Up" myself. I listened to them and went to shows in HS/college (96-02), but didn't become a huge fan until after college 02-03ish. I don't have any of the Live Trax CDs yet because I've been saying for over a year that I'm going to get them when I get my iPod. Soon...

Sadly, I've never gotten around to seeing them in concert.

That is sad.

[Ouch-8s 5]

That is sad.

Is true - everyone should see DMB live at least once...

Dave Matthews concert, a few years ago. I'm driving my GF into the city to see the concert. For some reason, her sister is taking the bus back to the city; I don't remember why I didn't drive her too.We get about halfway there, I stop for gas, fill up, and pull back out on the highway. As I am accelerating up to highway speeds, I shift into 2nd, and the clutch falls to the floor. I limp up the road to a pullout and pop the hood. Clutch cable is broken.So I call BCAA, tell them where the car is and ask them to call me and tell me where they had it towed to for repairs. We start hitchhiking to try and get to the concert on time.Eventually the bus comes along, and somehow the Queen's sister sees us on the side of the road and tells the driver to stop. They don't accept cash on this bus, you need to pre-purchase tickets. He lets us on anyways and takes us into the city for free. I am impressed, but very late.We get to the concert, and there are two couples in the seats directly in front of us. College aged, frat-boy looking jocks and their bimbo girlfriends. They are very loud and exuberant. It comes out that it's one of the frat-boys' birthday and they are there as his present. It comes out that they are all on copious amounts of ecstacy. So much that random other people are coming up to them and asking for some, and they assume a 'one for you, one for me' policy. It comes out that the ecstasy is making them all pretty lovey-dovey, and they're doing the big group hug and sway to the music thing. The group hug leads to some touchy-feely groping in the group; one of the guys has his hand up a girl's shirt. One of the girls is grabbing a frat-boy's ass. There is some grinding. My GF and I are watching them with amusement; they are infinately more entertaining than a VERY drunk Dave Matthews.One of the girls gets tired. She sits down. No one notices. The grinding continues. Before long, the two guys are grinding and groping each other, 'without realizing'. Then birthday boy clues in and jumps back. The three of them look a little uncomfortable at how much they were enjoying themselves, until the other guy manages to talk birthday boy back into the melee. There is lots of "I don't know" "I'm not gay" "What is happening?" but eventually the girls talk the two guys into kissing. They are reluctant at first but once they start there is NO stopping them.Birthday boy, boyfriend and girlfriend are all bumping and grinding. Birthday girlfriend is sitting out. Soon girlfriend is too, and it's just the guys, and they are putting on quite a show. Birthday boy is oblivious to the world around him, which isn't a big deal since no-one cares about his newfound appreciation for the male form. Except his girlfriend. She starts to get upset, at first just a mild annoyance, then gradually more, and then when she is unsuccesfull at getting his attention away from his friend, she breaks down and has a full on drug induced anxiety attack. She's alternating between sobbing and screaming, wringing her eyes and flailing away at her boyfriend's back. He finally realizes that he has upset his girlfriend. The boys break their embrace and take a literal and a figurative step back from each other. Lots of quick self-realization occurs and the group slinks out of the concert. I would have enjoyed seeing them in a few hours once their ecstacy haze wears off; I'm sure there was a lot of soul searching required. Loser frat boys. Hehe.So which of you e-gays was that anyways?

Yes yes, I love Dave Matthews, such a good band.. so innovative, so passionate, so exciting. I in no way have to be bombed out of my mind on drugs to be able to listen to them, they are good sober AND stoned. Yes yes, Dave Matthews is an A grade, Number one band..

I've seen DMB in concert half a dozen times, and I am a fan of the older stuff.I'll always be a fanboi though.

I keed, I keed, Dave Mathews band is great, really.. it's the kind of stuff i like to put on when I'm humping an old woman's leg

[Dirtydutch 9]

I'd like to mention that Dave's lyrical poetry has changed my life in many ways, and I don't think I could've made it through high school without lines like these:(Jigga', Jigga', that nigga' Jigga')R-O -- R-O-C, niggas, R-O...(Jigga', Jigga', that nigga' Jigga')Hov'! R-O-C, niggas, R-O... whoo!(Jigga', Jigga', that nigga' Jigga')It's Hov'! R-O-C, niggas)

Dave Matthews is music you are supposed to grow out of after high school.

In high school, I used to be a pretty big Dave Matthews fan. He was one of the first people that I really "got into." I never thought he was flawless, and a lot of his songs are silly or goofy or not that great, but there are a lot of his old songs that I even now think are really good. Even today, I say that "#41" is a great song.

That said, I actually haven't liked too many of the recent albums aside from the Lillywhite Sessions as much as I like the old stuff.

Really? That's probably because everything after the LWS was total crap.

Sadly, I've never gotten around to seeing them in concert.

Me either, though I'm really not that sad about it. I hear they're too much of a "jam band" in concert, a genre of music that I'm not all that turned on by. I blame their being given the stigma of a jam band on their recent suckyness.

From the article:Sometimes when people ask how I got so into music, I take the easy, less embarrassing way out and tell them it started my senior year of high school when I discovered Radiohead. But really, how many of our musical journeys started with Radiohead? Seventy-five, 80% maybe? Who wants to read another article about how discovering Radiohead changed someone’s life? I should be honest with myself and our readers; hi, my name is Nicole, and I used to like Dave Matthews. And I wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t.Eerie. Did I write this?(probably not, though, since my name isn't Nicole)

I thought the same thing after reading your post. In fact, I posted it to see it maybe you wrote it under a pen name. Guess not.

this is quite possibly the funniest story i've ever heard

"Two Step" is still my favorite.And even if they get too jammy, I think they'd be worth seeing once.Generally-speaking, I just don't go to many concerts. I think I went to my first show in a couple of years last week...and there were only about 20 people in the audience.

"Too much" is all who you ask. I love their jams. On the other hand, a girl I've been to a few shows with hates the jams. I mentioned earlier that I liked them in HS but didn't start to really "get into" them until I saw them more live and bought/heard more live CDs where they jam a ton.btw, the music that I "grew out of" from HS was punk/ska-type music. I still enjoy NOFX, Operation Ivy, etc. when it's on but I don't pull out those CDs to listen to on my own anymore.
