Holy Cow. I just got home from my fifth Dave Matthews Band show and my first Leroi Moore show. both of them made it the best concert i have ever been to. after last night's masterpiece, i thought it couldnt be beat, but tonight kicked the crap out of last night. last night was new songs, tonight was good old songs with lots of jams. lets run through it. I knew it was going to be a great night when i pulled into Allstate as Dave's tour bus did and i saw him enter the building. DDTW--nice long intro. TOO MUCH--i thought it would be the opener, but nice to hear. #41....yes!!! show picks up here. nice long solo session, but no everyday outro :( . CRASH--yuck. only lowpoint of the evening. crowd liked it though. WAREHOUSE--woo! SPACE BETWEEN: got it over early. i like the song though, but i was praying for not I did it. DIDO: YES!!!! make another tea party of my own! HIGHLIGHT #1: JIMI THING. holy cow. one of the best ones i have heard. really jammed out. during the first solo of boyd, dave ran up and grabbed boyd's sunglasses and put them on. it was awesome. i got a picture of it. JT was unbelievable. i dont think i have ever danced that hard in my life. Leroi was on fire. PIG: very sweet. i like Boyd's added violin that they are doing this tour. LOVER: great to hear. some girl was talking loud into her cell and asked if her friend could hear it in her cell and i replied "yeah, but we cant" haha. really jammed out. WHAT YOU ARE: my *new* favorite Everyday song. first repeat from last night and dave once again changed the lyrics at the end. it is phenomenal live. WWYS: got the crowd going with "mom its my birthday". nice jam. GIG: was thinking of abby and lisa during this one. very upset that a lot of people were sitting down though during this. whats up with that? SO RIGHT: another repeat. ANTS: great closer. expected. i heard carter do his intro and i knew it was going to be a great ending. WAYG: all i can say besides being a great song is that, Dave, you are a Superman and you have all the answers! HIGHLIGHT #2: WATCHTOWER I think DMB was trying to say thank you for the great weekend. i was shaking when i heard stefan's intro. i was so surprised they pulled it out for the first time this tour. great version with butch taking center stage. all in all, this was the better show of the 2 and the best out of 5 ive been to. the energy in chicago was unreal. security was real tight tonight b/c dave was upset with the amount of people on the floor last night. oh well. i gave the fonz a lizard....hope you liked it! Jimi thing, two step and watchtower really made this weekend even more special than it already was! See you all at Tinley Park. Rock on Boys!
