Dave Matthews will perform at a charity event in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the US. According to
The Greenwich Time Dave will perform at the exclusive Belle Haven Club in Greenwich, CT on June 26.
The
$1000-a-ticket performance will benefit the
China Care Foundation, which provides provide medical care among other things to Chinese orphans. So if you want to pony up the cash, have at it. However, according to the
Greenwich Time, the goodly police of Greenwich are expecting the DMB fan to attend the event, regardless of a ticket or not. "We're going to have in excess of 40 or 50 officers down there on land. That doesn't include officers who will be on the boat monitoring boat traffic to keep trespassers from invading the beaches and the surrounding residences down there." Lt. Richard Cochran, a Greenwich police spokesman, said. So I guess the fans rep precedes them. Or something like that. You'll also find some snappy quotes in the article from yours truly to try and scare the beejeebers of of the Greenwich police (OMG! Teh DaVe Fanz r comin!)
The full-band tour continues after that performance with a show in
Camden June 30.
- UPDATE:
The latest news has 50 police officers assigned to detail security for the event (that means keep out the riff-raff), more than President George Bush's 2004 visit, or VP Joe Biden's 2008 stop in the area. Also, the show is seemingly Full-Band (as rumors have stated), and the price is $3000 a head.
