Where are my Dave Matthews Band fans? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

zandre · 04-05-2009, 01:32 PM

Well they are my absolute favorite band. I've seen them about 15 times in concert and to this day I've yet to find another band that can put a show on quite like they do. What I find most impressive about them is not only their unique sound but the fact that they are actually better live than they are on any of their albums. Unlike some bands who rely so much on computer enhancing that when they go on tour they sound completely different and usually worse. I'm hoping that with all this extra money I'll have saved up from not drinking that I can get some PIT seats for when they come to Cincinnati in June.

Any other DMB fans out there?

What are your favorite songs?

Ever gotten a chance to see em live or planning to see them this summer?

Well since I haven't found anyone else out there yet I'll start. If you haven't ever given them a listen try a couple of these songs out. See what you think. You may just end up loving them. Especially look for live versions.

Typical Situation (especially the acoustic version)
Don't Drink the Water
Crush
Warehouse (especially the LIVE at Central Park version)
What Would You Say
Too Much
Tripping Billies
Recently
Dancing Nancies
Big Eyed Fish
Grey Street
Crash Into Me (Yeah it's cliche for us big DMB fans but still a great song)
Seek Up (especially LIVE at Red Rocks)
All Along the Watchtower (Great version. Would make Dylan and Jimi proud)
Ants Marching
Two Step (Almost has to be LIVE. The album version can't touch it especially if you like a good jam session.)
Satellite
Where Are You Going
#41
Cornbread
Cortez the Killer (LIVE at Central Park)

Like I said if you've only heard a couple of there bigger hits like Crush or Crash Into Me and for whatever reason it wasn't your cup of tea or just haven't ever listened to them give a few of these a shot.

Lover Lay Down is a good one. I had almost forgotten about Lousiana Bayou. I don't think I've got that downloaded currently *fires up FrostWire to pirate some more music*.

Anyone else planning on seeing them this summer? I'm hoping to get tickets for each of these shows:

Burgettstown, PA (At least one of the shows)
Cincinnati, OH
West Palm Beach, FL

It's too bad the venue in Columbus closed. They normally always played two shows there but won't be doing any shows there this year. Last year they did play a concert at Columbus Crew Stadium, where the MLS team plays, which was a cool experience. My first stadium concert.

I'm a fan...been to 3 shows. Not crazy about the lat few albums though there a few jems on each. I do enjoy the new CD.

Some faves-

Best of What's Around
Warehouse
Two Step
The Dreaming Tree
Stay or Leave
Grey Street (though I like the old live bootleg versions better than the album version)
Angel
Dancing Nancies

I luv Dave, seen 'em a few times. They get better n better. On a darker note Dave's solo album 'Some Devil' Hard drinking, Leaving Los Vegas music. I wanna see him solo tour sometime. Him and Reynolds.
