I attended this show with by friend Chris Harlow. I got some pretty descent seats in the lower pavilion through the Warehouse. This is the summer of Dave Matthews Band. The first two shows sold out on the first day of ticket sales. Because of this, a third show added to the beginning of their previous 2-night stint. But I didn’t make it to that one because I figured 2 was enough.

A Thursday night show and I couldn’t find anyone to use my second ticket. At the last minute, a friend from work (Nancy Enzinger) decided she was up for it. We arrived just a little before the show started but still didn’t get great near-the-exit parking. This setlist is what every current Dave Matthews Band fan wants to hear, with the exception of an encore of Long Black Veil. I know it’s a Johnny Cash tribute, but it doesn’t really fit with everything else. But the rest of the setlist is so strong, it doesn’t matter.

Surreal. To date, this is the best concert I have attended. The intimate location and the music were a perfect combination. My good friend Chris Harlow didn’t make it to buy tickets until late in the day, so our seats were toward the back. It didn’t matter because the seats were still great; there’s not a bad seat in the house. Hearing familiar songs in a different format is almost always enjoyable for me. Hearing Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds perform these songs is the best example of how great it can be. But it was the new song that really caught my attention —Read More →

I sat/stood in the lawn area with my friend Chris Harlow, who received the tickets for free from a friend who couldn’t attend. This was a much better show than the night before. The setlist was more to my liking and I enjoyed the individual song performances more in general. It’s amazing the difference between nights.

I sat/stood in the the lawn area with my brother Brandon. I wish I could remember more details but I wasn’t overly excited by the show or the songs played. Either there was not too much crowd energy, or the songs were uninspired, or both. But if I were to listen to the concert again, it would probably be better than I remember it.

I had two tickets to go see Dave Matthews Band at Deer Creek in Noblesville, IN. Unfortunately, I didn’t have anyone to go with and I wasn’t too excited about driving from Louisville to the far north side of Indianapolis. In addition, I received a call from my friend Troy Allen asking if I wanted to come over for a visit that weekend. So I did that instead of going to the concert. A weekend with friends is never a weekend wasted. Songs I would have heard had I attended the concert: Dave Matthews Band June 28, 1997 Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN TwoRead More →

This was my first DMB show. After this show, I was hooked. I attended the show with my good friend, Doug Childs. He commented that he and three of the guys on stage were the only black guys there (unfortunately, this was pretty close to the truth.) This was one of the rescheduled shows of 1996. The show was supposed to take place sometime in the summer but the tragic loss of Stefan Lessard’s infant child caused it to be rescheduled. I really wish I could find a recording of this show! Unfortunately, they are apparently non-existent. The correct setlist for this show is belowRead More →
