Their live performances are incredible because you don't get radio edits- you get an intense musicial experience that stimulates the rock senses (Carter's increasing usage of the double-bass drum), the jazz senses ( Lessard and the two tour dudes Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross), the classical senses (Boyd Tinsley's incredible string talents), and the overall senses that are comprised to an epic 3 hour event of non-stop awesome.
Notable Moments from the show:
- Incredible Jam sessions mixed with the popular playlis
- Fantastic spread of all material Dave's material, both from solo projects and the band
- Nice fan-list of favorite songs (typically the ones jammed the hardest)
- Carter Beauford and his INCREDIBLE solos
- The touring members: Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross, sax and trumpet, res.
- TIM REYNOLDS
- Carter is always smiling (just watch the Coffin solo...)
- The fantastic energy of the band and the music
- Free high (seriously: second hand EVERYTHING)
Everyone honestly needs to see at least one Dave Matthews Band concert in their life. Even if you don't qualify yourself as a fan of Dave but are a fan of music, and I mean REAL music, then this show is for you. DMB doesn't rely on fireworks, fancy graphics, or catchy skits to hold up their tour- their music speaks for itself. Seriously, check it out- you won't be disappointed.
Here is their website. Click on it. Also, click on the names of people mentioned in the Notable Moments section for solos (from other concerts, events, etc). Party on, Wayne.

I can't add anything that you've not already said. I completely agree that you don't have to be a DMB fan to truly enjoy and RESPECT the musicality of the live show. Thus... the reason I haven't missed a live show in YEARS! I wish Matthews himself would read this blog as it epitomizes his, and the band's, showmanship. Well done Michael. Well done.
