Jimi thing was UNBELIEVABLE with Trey, and Granny was also great, but i think the setlist coulda used less from Stand and more from Crash or Busted Stuff

I have been to 13 DMB shows now including some with special guests as well as seeing Eric Clapton in the 6th row in 2001. This by far was the best show I have ever heard in my life!! Amazing! I recorded most of the show with my iPod, but I don't think the quality is good enough to post. I can't wait to download the show though! I think that DMB should think about releasing this one online like the Centrum Center shows and stuff. That would be awesome!

an AMAZING show! So glad to see Trey, hear .34, Say Goodbye, and Time Of The Season!!!!!
User: bwyatt1
Review:
Unbelievable!!! Say Goodbye and 34 made my night but to then have Trey come out for Jimi and LB put it over the top. Possibly the best Jimi I've ever heard. Also, all the new songs are tight especially Smooth Rider, Hunger and of course Bayou. This was only my third show but they keep getting better every time. Can't wait for Antioch next week!!!!!

This show was amazing it had it all. Nancies, Say Goodbye, #34, Time of the Season. Then the best Jimi Thing I have ever heard in my life and Lousiana Bayou was killer. I went to Bonnaroo and was impressed but tonight to hear all this my top show I have ever seen. Get This Show, and post pics and video if you got it.

This show was absolutely amazing. Dancing Nancies blew me away as well as #34. I felt special seeing #34 performed live! This show is on the top of my list for best shows that I have seen. I look forward to Dave every year and he has yet to disappoint.

The show was incredible. Dave came out on stage before the opening band to say a few words to the crowd too. Played a mix of great songs, perfect for the concert. The TWO covers were just awesome. When Trey came out it blew the concert over the top.

Hands down.. Best Atlanta Show EVER!!! Say good bye, #34, Trey!!... Dave needs to start playing two shows in Atlanta, the crowd was so pumped!!!
User: halloween4eva
Review:
Within the past two years, I have become a huge fan of Dave Matthews. I remember how I came about loving them, and it was because of the ever-popular song "Crash Into Me." I remember just singing it to myself one day just out of nowhere and I couldn't get it out of my head. So I bought the CD "Crash" and ever since then, I've been hooked. I say this to explain why I've only been to 2 shows in my life, haha. But when I go to college next year, I'll be sure to follow them around the Southeast on that leg of the tour. Can't wait. Out of the 2 shows I've been to this was the better of the 2 (last year's show being the first one I went to). I also realized the rarity of Trey coming out and playing, as well as #34 being played, which made this show even more amazing. Then Time Of The Season, what can I say? I'm still humming it. Then you had Stolen Away which Dave sat down for which made the song that much more special. American Baby had the crowd going, as well as every second of Nancies and Say Goodbye. I thought it couldn't get any better, then seeing Trey come out and shredding it on Jimi and Louisiana Bayou was the topping on the cake. Favorite moment? Trey, Dave, Boyd and Stefan all around Carter's drums jamming. Awesome. Can't wait til next summer and can only hope for a winter tour this year. Peace

This show was probably the best I've ever seen. When Trey came out and jammed during LB & Jimi I thought my head was going to explode. It was unbelievable. Of course seeing the second live performance of #34 since 1994 and then Stay just insures this show's top ranking.

TREY ANASTASIO!? Jimi Thing, Jimi Scat, and For What It's Worth were amazing. This performance also gave me a completely new respect for Smooth Rider. However, very dissappointed at the number of people who sat down for Stolen Away- I love that song. Would've liked Nancies to lead into Warehouse, but ya can't have everything. Overall, very pleased with the show. Dave never fails to knock the crowd's socks off.

Review:
UNBELIEVABLE SHOW. Louisiana Bayou jam with Trey rocked my world. I would pay hundreds to see another dave show like that. I never could have imagined how well the Stand Up tracks would translate live. Even Stolen Away, which I'm not a big fan of, sounded like sex. Zombie's cover of "Time of the Season" sent chills down everybodies spines. American Baby ROCKED, even though it is mainstream, which I think kicks ass. They jammed on that badboy forever! Dreamgirl really had the audience into it. There was such passion at the Atlanta show, and we don't usually get that. THANK YOU DMB for finally giving the real Atlanta fans what we deserve.

Awesome show, minus the two guys in front of me tryign to hook-up with the minors. Guys - have some respect for yourselves, please. The music on the other hand was "so right". OSW was a nice starter, into an excellent Dream Girl. DDTW was good, but not great. HFTGL - awesome. Nancies> Say Goodbye> #34 - it doesn't get any better than that. Time of the Season was nice - the crowd really got into it. Granny, 55th & 3rd, and American Baby were great, but Smooth Rider was over the top. I love the song on the album, but it is so short. It lent itself well to the extended jam. TREY!!!!! The best jam I have personally ever heard live. Just pure energy. The encore was good, I like YMDT and I thought WYA was better than most I've seen. See you in Nashville.

WOW! Never have i felt so much energy at a Dave cocncert....or any cocncert for that matter. OSW was perfect. DDTW was jammin, Say Goodbye...wow, probably my favorite ballad...But, Dancing Nancies was incendiary! Dave really pulled out some oldies but goodies tonite. I was not expecting to hear this many older songs, but as always Dave continues to rock! See u guys next year in ATL!

I was at the 2 shows in Boston and now this one. I didn't think Saturday night in Boston would be topped, but wow this was amazing. The people around me joked that Trey might show up but none of us really thought it would happen. When Dave said he had a guest, we started chanting for Trey! An amazing show with #34, Granny, Time of the Season and then Trey!!! A great end to my vacation. Thanks guys!!!!

This was a great show. Understandably heavy on Stand Up as he is touring in support, but a good mix of the old stuff as well. Really enjoyed the jams with Trey, although I'm an old geezer and had to be told who he was...still talent shines and the jams were out of sight. Just when you think this band can't get any tighter they just pour it on. Show had a bit of pace problem early on but that was solved with jimi thing and bayou.

This was I think my 6th show and man what a great show. First thanks to Jimmy who works at Star94 for getting me a free ticket so I didn't have to pay some scalper 100 bucks. Also, thanks to Dave for putting on one hell of a show. #34, Say Goodbye, and What You Are Id never heard before and Nancies, DDTW, and Jimi with Trey were all awesome. Especially Jimi. I saw Warren on it at Bonnaroo and Trey here and Trey was just as good if not better. The encore was very suprising and fresh for me. You might Die Trying is my second favorite song off Stand Up and WHat You Are is my favorite song off Everyday. I hope I can see them in Starwood again but if not Bonnaroo and Lakewood were badass this year.

The simple words that I write on this meager review cannot adequately describe what transpired tonight in Atlanta. This was my 17th show and up until tonight the best I had seen was 7/16/00 (check set list to see what I mean) at Veterans Stadium. This show blew that one out of the water. OSW amazing opener then into an awesome Dreamgirl jam (I saw them at Hershey on 6/25 and the song was only like 3 minutes) then without stopping right into DDTW. Unreal. Hunger was great then the BIG 5. Nancies was unreal...it was amazing to watch Boyd walk around and call out Dave then Stephan, then Carter, and then to see all 3 of them huddled round Carter jumping up and down as they played. Best Nancies ever. Then Say Goodbye a great classic, then...Oh My God...#34 for only the second time in 12 years. then TOTS and right into Granny...unreal. Then 4 good Stand Up songs which were much better in the ATL than in Hershey. Wow, then Trey comes out and they do a 25 minute Jimi thing with an awesome solo by Trey and then Dave goes into, "Stop, hey whats that sound everybody look whats goin down." It was unbelievable. Then an insane Louisiana Bayou...the last 5 minutes were nothing but the entire band and Trey going apeshit. Modest encore but all in all the best show I have ever seen. They need to take 3 days off between shows more often because the energy of this was unreal. I might retire after this one so I can go out on top.

This was another good show. I really like the Stand Up album so all the songs they played from that album really made my day. Had some friends come down from VA to party with me and that made it even more enjoyable. And to top it all off seeing Trey with Dave was like I fell into a heavenly dream. They were incredible together. Wonderful!

the show was fuckin awsome. time of the season was my favorite of the night. #34 was great too. this was in my opinion the best show of the tour. when dave said we are gonna have a friend join us i went crazy cause i could see that it was trey. jimi thing and bayou were incredible. boyd had great energy all night in nancies and bayou. the encore was nothin special but still overall a great show. the only one i didnt like was stolen on 27th and 33rd whatever the hell it is.

Great show - Loved it when I heard "Dancing Nancies" and especially "#34" !!!!!! I was hoping for some more classics like "Bartender" or even "Dreaming Tree" (wishful thinking), since I am not a huge fan of the new album. Despite that though, I say great show.
**On a side note - I wish more people could enjoy Dave without having to get stumbling drunk. I drink all the time but I think those who get retarded at these shows and probably black out are just plain tools. What's the fun in going if you are going to get so wasted you can see or walk. Just my 2 cents ;).....

TOO MUCH TALKING IN THE LAWN. I would like for people to enjoy the show more and not talk. But for the show...WOW! Great Opener with OSW! Dream Girl was awesome. DDTW...eh 3rd year in a row. Love HFTGL! Nancies was absolutely Amazing. Say Goodbye was great! Love to hear that one. When #34 came on, just as the poll says, I loved every minute of it. It was a pleasure to hear the 2nd one ever!! I can't stop singing time of the season, LOVE IT. Granny Good. 55th and 3rd good! American Baby great! Smooth Rider and Stand Up were awesome. Then Trey came on. Oh My Freakin Geez. It was an awesome Jimi Thing and then Louisiana Bayou. The last 5 minutes was the best jam with Boyd, Dave, Stefan, Carter, Trey and Butch going to town! What you are was good but I was really wanting a Tripping Billies or an Ants. Would have been great with that! But I can't complain at all. GREAT SHOW!!!!

This was a great show with A LOT of energy. The band was totally on time with everything and then the unthinkable happens, Trey Anastasio comes out and shreds like a maniac during Jimi Thing and LB. This was my 18th show and it was one of the best I have seen if not the best! Oh, and they played #34. How could I have forgot that! I really can't think of anything that could have made this show any better!! I give it a 10 out of 10!! Looking foward to Nashville!!

Review:
INCREADIBLE SHOW last night !!! By far the best Atlanta show since the ' 98 show with Tim on electric for the full show. Only 2nd time since 1993 that they played #34... And then Trey Anastasio on guitar for Jimi with the and my favorite of the new songs Louisana Bayou... The entire song but especially the last 5+ minutes or jamming was powerfull. Trey A kept pushing them farther and harder into the jam and it was great. sick!!!! Loved the old school triple threat of Dancing Nancies, Say Goodbye #34.... Before #34 Dave says they are going to play a slow one. Granny is one of my all time favs as well. Time of the Season was a fun cover... Dave sat down on a chair for Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd. Encore was less energetic than the powerful set ending stuff with Trey but it was a nice cap to a great evening. Thank you Trey, Thank you boys!
