DMB Heads Overseas After Stellar Show
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 10:55am on Sunday, Jun 21st, 2009The Dave Matthews Band is heading to Europe, in promotion for Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, but they certainly left a lasting impression on the fans in the US with their last show in the states.
The June 20 at Star Lake outside Pittsburgh, PA was certainly one for the ages. On paper, it looks like the best show in 10 years. Yes, 10 years. But concerts aren't played on paper, they're played in venues, and in front of people watching the setlist on AntsLive!. Fans at the show seem to justify the reaction by those watching the setlist as it appeared. Fan reaction from those at the show justifies it as one of the best shows in a while. Reports of the band sounding sharp, energetic, and having a lot of fun are common themes in describing the show. Our own Joe M, who has now officially seen more DMB shows than Dave Matthews himself in 2009, put it at the top of his list of shows for this year a scant few seconds after Halloween ended the show. And it's no coincidence that there were no Everyday or Stand Up songs either. If you go back to the Hartford show, Night 2, up to the June 21 show, you'll be hard pressed to find a better run by this band in over 12 years. Really.
The European tour begins in London June 25, and runs for about a fortnight (good European term). Then is back in the states for a July 18 show at Alpine.
