Truth be told. I go to a lot of concerts - most of which are Dave Matthews Band. Below I will share some pics and stories + a show recap of some of my favorites. I am currently somewhere over 400 total DMB shows!! Yes, it’s crazy but you know what, who cares!? yolo :)
There are few places better to see any show when you compare other venues to The Gorge. There is just magic in the air - this magic creates an aura and its contagious. The bands feel it, the crowd feels it.. Friendships are made with people you would rarely talk to outside of this mecca. There is a reason why Dave and his band make a stop every year.
We made a trip across the pond for some Fado, DMB, and Portuguese lessons, and great times getting lost in a super cool city. Lisbon did not disappoint - the crowd there is just different. Engaged. Awesome.. Without a doubt the most infectious energy from any crowd in all of Europe.
Mexico is without a doubt an experience to be had if you are a Dave fan at all. Not only do Dave and Tim put on one of the best shows out there, Mexico brings a different level of energy and talent to the experience. It’s all inclusive and on a beach - literally no shoes and board shorts to the shows. Also, during the day different artists play at pool parties - this year we saw Tyler Childers, Warren Haynes, Valerie June, and flautist Carlos Malta. This year we also had an amazing surprise when Brandi Carlisle came out to sing Come Tomorrow with Dave and Tim on N3.
DMB Jones Beach 2021 - one of my favorite shows I have ever been to. After so many shows you would think that they become redundant and boring.. but they dont. This one touched my soul in more ways than one.
