Overall a great show, I was disappointed in the length. Encore was awesome! Enjoyed The Last Stop and Don't Drink the Water.

I thought the show was good. The crowd's energy was fairly low, but the band was still awesome. Set list was awesome and watchtower was electric. How could any show be bad from 3rd row front and center?

Big letdown. Way too short. No jams. Really cool to see some of the older tunes, but this show was nowhere near par as compared to other shows this season. Texas got jipped.

Not my favorite DMB show. Dave was a little too mellow. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

I know that it has been almost 3 months since this show but I just found this website not too long ago...I thought the show was freakin awesome aside from the drunk mo fo's beside me and the two girls who talked throughout the whole show. The best part for me was hearing Don't Drink the Water and The Last Stop live.

not the best of the tour, but cant complain, got to hear a few i never had before...and watchtower was very energetic

Something was wrong here - Dave played, but people didn't listen - there was a lot of mindless chatter and you could hear it between songs. They never really dimmed the house lights at the AA center, which is a usually SPECTACULAR place. Still, it was nice to hear the old stuff!

This show was bad ass for 3 reasons, first I was with a really hot girl, second I got really drunk towards the end, third I was about 8 feet away from dave. Other than that, it wasn't the best of dave matthews, the energy wasnt there, It just seemed like a job instead of a calling for them. I'm pretty sure this was right before they had their problems. TEXAS GOT FUCKED! I still love his ass, it had been a while since my last show so it was kind of a let down. Not the best show but still good. The kick ass part was that we were in like 308, really shitty seats, and we snuck down to the front, it was pretty fun. It sucked though because they wouldnt let us smoke, so i kept having to sneak a ciggie in every now and then. All hail Dave Matthews!

This was my very first concert and in my opinion it kicked ass. osw was awsome and so was watchtower at the end. but i was really pissed with all the non-fans in attendance at the concert they really brought the down the chi.

what an awesome show this was, it was my 2nd time to see dmb and they had such a different feel then last year. hearing last stop and minarets and pay for what you get was great to hear those live. this one was a better show then last year in my mind.

Definitely not the longest concert, but definitely WAS amazing. The playlist was great! Dave danced more than I have ever seen him dance along with Boyd and Stefan. All of them were going insanely crazy. It surely made the show much more enjoyable.

Show started off with tons of energy! No time to take a break...show slowed down in the middle and then rocked at the end with a brilliant and energetic watchtower

I thought this show was very good! I have been to several, and this didn't stack up against the others very well. The band was great as ususal, but the crowd sucked! Everyone that me and my girlfriend were sitting around were new fans and didn't want the band to play the old stuff. I think that the band noticed as well, because this show was much shorter than others i have been to from this area.

WE had shitty seats that I got from my boss a few days before the concert but my sister ran into her friend Jamal who let us go back to his seats and we saw the rest of the concert packed in with the rest of the ants in section 105. I didn't like the indoor concert so much. But it was still Dave so it was awesome.

Great show as usual even though they have gotten shorter the past few years. Heard Minarets for the first time - how Dave doesn't cause himself a stroke..... Nice to see Stephan venturing into other areas. Leroi was cool with the brass, Carter worked up a sweat, and Boyd can sure jam. Now the long wait for next year's show.

the dallas crowd tonight was the absolute worst crowd i have ever seen at a concert...this was my fourth dave and the typical dallas crowd showed up...go for the scene and not the music...little did they realize that a pretty good band was performing...dave came out with energy but the crowd did not reciprocate...last stop was freaking amazing...i have been waiting to see it and it did not disappoint...but of course there were probably only a handful of people out there who knew what song it was...pfwyg was equally as awesome and yet again a question mark arose from the wonderful dallas audience...loved hearing the maker (just like last stop and pfwyg, i doubt many knew what song this was)and watchtower actaully got the crowd into it...the dallas crowd as a whole did not appreciate what they were seeing and they didn't allow the concert to reach it's full potential...and if jimi thing was really on the setlist but scratched i am pissed cause i have been wanting to see that live for the past three years...dave should just skip dallas for the next couple years...the crowd didn't seem to care...so why should he...
and by the way...i am a displaced texan living in oklahoma for school and i went to the okc show...and the crowd there kicked the ass of the dallas crowd...now that's bad

The crowd wasn't super into the show at first, but by the end everyone was going crazy. Dave didn't jam much but it was still a great show!

I'm surprised to see the negative feedback in some of the other reviews, as I really enjoyed this show. I thought the crowd was pretty good (I also sat in section 120), but it did quiet down when they played the non-radio-play stuff like PFWYG and OSW. I, for one, was glad to hear those. Also enjoyed The Maker. Overall, this show was 100% better than my last show (Charlottesville) and got me excited about DMB again.

This was my first show, I drove there with a friend all the way from Las Cruces, NM and I thought it was great. I was expecting a little more but it was amazing and WELL worth the drive and what we paid for our tickets. I even had to get up there with a walking cast and crutches. THAT wasnt fun, but I still managed to get up and dance during ants marching and too much. :D

Sitting in a suite -- my group was rocking.
AAC does have too many socialites (next suite down was dead), but it didn't affect my time.
Only time I've seen DMB indoors -- great set, another A+.

Awesome show! Short but sweet. I thought the crowd was great and everyone got really fired up during Watchtower.

My first time to see them live. They were incredible. I would pay twice as much to see them live again.

Third and final show of the week that I attended. It was a little too similar to the Oklahoma City show for me, but it was Dave, so it was still really, really good. The band is incredible regardless of whether you've seen some of the songs before or not. The sound was good for such a huge arena, I thought.
