Hey everyone, just thought I'd share this with you all. Nothing too exciting except for a nice little quote from Dave.
DMB IS BACK
Lately it's been all about Dave. Last fall, the singer-songwriter released his very fine solo debut, "Some Devil," and left the Dave Matthews Band at home to set out on the Dave and Friends Tour with Tim Reynolds, Trey Anastasio and a handful of characters to explore his extra-curricular activities. But now it's summer, and that can only mean one thing: Clear Channel needs his behind in its amphitheaters - especially with Britney, Christina and now even Lollapalooza cancelling.
The Dave Matthews Band opens a two-night stand Saturday night at the Post-Gazette Pavillion, and he's excited to be on the road with his old mates.
"I can't imagine not wanting to play music with DMB," he recently told the Los Angeles Times. "We've had times when we've been at each other's throats. We lived in the van together for five years. The fact that we could live through that is witness to the commitment. ...If it had required the band to end for me to do a solo project, then that would have been - I can't imagine that world. I wouldn't want to be faced with that alternative."
One-man band Keller Williams opens at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $36 and $53.50. Call 412-323-1919.
There's a big picture of Dave on stage probably screaming the "fire" part in Watchtower. The caption under it says, "Dave Matthews brings his band to the Post-Gazette Pavillion for two shows beginning Saturday." I thought it was kind of interesting how the guy writing it called DMB "his (dave's) band". Oh well. I can't wait for the concert tomorrow night! I'll see some of you there!
