Dave and the Band Blew the Crowd Away

Featured Review

Starting off with "Proudest Monkey" and playing hard for a solid two and a half hours, DMB played most of their newest album, "Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King" to a sold-out audience at the DTE.

The entire band was in rare form, with Boyd stealing the show with his amazing fiddling at least four times. Not to be outdone, the newest member, Jeff Coffin, the sax player, blew us all away with an impressive solo on two saxes at once! The man sounded like a train.

Rashawn's trumpet was hot too, and together with Jeff they did a great set together.

But don't forget the ultimate support of Stefan and Carter, who are as rock solid as they come.

Dave himself even took his own solo with an impressive and long scat session. The band came back for a great encore, doing two more songs from the new album, which has to be pointed out, is back to the magic of the first two albums.

The show, the crowd, and the atmosphere, even in a sold out venue, was great: mellow, friendly, happy, and enjoying the moment. I don't think the crowd sat down once; they were too busy dancing and singing along. I can't wait for DMB's next show! We will certainly be there...

It sounded like Dave was sick! You couldn't understand him at all.
And from Ticketmaster, I thought it was Dave opening for Jason Mraz. Talk about disappointed! Especially when I paid and thought I was going to a JM concert.

Loved this event, even with the cold temps and the rain. Can't wait till next year's showing. I'd recommend this event to any DMB fan.

I drove all the way from TN to see the weekend event, and would do it all over again.

I have always had an interest in DMB until I saw them live on FUSE this year '09. I was hooked after that and knew I just had to see them in concert.

I live in GA and drove to AR to see them. OMG, it was more than I could have ever imagined. I got there at 12:00 and waited until 5:oo for the gates to open. Was 5 rows back from the stage,had GA tickets.

They are the best band in the world......their performace was unbelievable. The different sounds in their music is awesome!

Dave makes you laugh,love his dancing.....

I would travel far away again to see them....best experience ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As always a great set from the band. We came early enough and had an opp to hear sound check it was the first time. The crowd on the lawn was a little wild for us mostly college students but the band never disappoints so the evening was great. Rain held off until the show was over :)
DMB is always a five star night for me!!!!

This was a GREAT! concert. Love Dave Matthews Band. They are such great artists. Dave Matthews himself is sooo entertaining. Also Love the outdoor concert. This was an awesome venue for this time of year, and for DMB. It suited them well. Can't believe it wasn't actually a sellout, although it looked like it was. He has to come back.

It really was an amazing show, I just wish they had played some of the older songs that made me love the band in the first place instead of the more obscure songs they played. Greg Allmon was amazing - especially his Sweet Melissa rendition with Dave.

This was the 4th Dave Matthews Band concert I have attended. The others were outside. This was by far the best concert of the four, They didn't play my favorite song but it didn't matter. I was absolutely thrilled with the entire concert. The Sprint Center is a fabulous venue. Our seats were great. Not too high up and directly facing the stage. Can't wait for concert #5!!

The show was great and the music was fabulous. The weather was perfect for an outdoor show and the facilities were o.k. The only problem were the tickets I bought on-line. I thought I was getting the best possible seats but instead what I got were general admission tickets that left me standing. Luckily I got there early enough to find seats in the beer garden area. Wasn't so bad. ha.

This was my 11th DMB concert. While it was really sad to see my first show since LeRoi passed, the show was incredible. Dave was a little hoarse, but he still sounded great. I also think he'd had a bunch of cough syrup, because he was even goofier than usual (REALLY funny!). They performed all my favorites (except for #36, which I've given up on hearing again except as an intro to "Everyday"), covered the Talking Heads, and turned "Jimi Thing" into "Sexy MF" by Prince. Plus, Tim Reynolds was there. I've been wanting to see him live for more than a decade, and he was every bit the badass I expected.

Gregg Allman and Friends were also amazing.

I was not thrilled with the standing room only area. I was shoved several times; people just dropped their trash everywhere like children. I was eventually surrounded so closely on all sides that I had to turn sideways and watch the show by turning my head. I felt a lot better when I went to the back and sat down in the open air. I could even see better, because I didn't have any giant, drunken heads directly in front of me. So I wouldn't do that again, but the concert itself was incredible. Amazing. Phenomenal.

Dave Matthews and his band did not disappoint at all. There was so much passion in their performances. They played mostly songs off their new album "Big Whiskey...", and everything was so well done. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to them. I would see them again!

I've seen the Dave Matthews Band five times now. The first time was in 1998, right after Before These Crowded Streets was released. That concert was amazing.

This concert was the best one since then. Even though some of their albums following 1998 had some good concert songs (some of which were played in this concert), the band went through a period where it lacked the same energy.

The energy was back! May Leroi Moore R.I.P. But Jeff Coffin was great and added a new dynamic that was missing before.

I wish Shake Me Like a Monkey would hit the airwaves because the song is amazing. They played that in concert! They also played Alligator Pie and it was very good.
