Hey guys, Wondering if there are any dave matthews band fans on the board here, and if so, are you planning on going to the festival this summer in the Metropolitan NY area? Check out this site if you are: http://www.dmbfestival.com
My girlfriend is the BIGGEST fan it seems. I like thier stuff, but I am not really into music. I went to his show in Moutain View, SF area, two years ago
awesome. I've been to 29 shows so far - could spend that money on a an older Ferrari - However, the shows are great - hoping to see some F-Chat'ers at the shows!
Let's see, I went to 6 or 7 shows in the early 90's before they broke out, I think the highest cover was $8. Had lunch with Dave around 1994 or so (friend of a friend of a friend)
Indeed I've seen 9 shows since 6-7-97.I'd probably go to alot more if I really liked to travel around.Not to mention tix have gotten more expensive these days.Saw 3 shows last year.Did you go to Central Park?I've heard they may do the NY festival at governer's island.Here's my rather ancient trading page. http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/alley/9838/ For some entertainment my favorite messageboard. http://www.anyoneseenthebridge.com
Yeah she goes to all the shows. SHe used to go to the Gorge (sp?) every year to see him as well. LIke I said she is a fan. To me I don't waste my money on music and concerts. I am building my retirement fund, and anything I buy is money away from that. Maybe that is why our relationship didn't work. LOL. Eh well, different strokes for different folks. I liked his music, but don't feel like anyone is really worth my money, when I can watch them on TV/DVD. Though my girlfriend would give me the line about "oh well its live, and its totally diff" and all that jazz. Eh well, life goes on. Ex for a reason. Good luck, and hope you have fun at the shows By the way, girls LOVE it if you say you like DMB. I found that out after my ex. I only know like two songs. #41, and hmm..can't recall the other one now..LOL
Im going to be perfectly honest with you. Dave matthews band sucks. I'm sorry you had to hear this news over the internet, but you would have found out eventually.
Hey Tim, there are some people that don't like Ferraris either. It is no big deal, as everythign in life is relative. Enjoy it.
I went to a DM concert in SanFrancisco.........had to leave early. don't mind the albums but they sucked live. Vincent.
Opposite experience; I thought he was a bit of a flamer (sorry to offend) before I saw him in concert and now am a big fan... There's a reason why 99% of his shows sell out in the first few minutes.
I found DM interesting at first, something different but really I just like to watch and listen to their drummer.
I bought every single last one of DM's cds trying to find one song and it turns out I was looking for a Coldplay song.
Kenny, I do like him, but I like all musicians. However just because something sells out does not make it good. JLO's tours sell out too. By the way, I LOVE Jenny from the block the song..haha..you can make fun of me now
I disagree. I have been to a few DMB concerts and a lot of concerts in general. I think DMB is one of the best live bands ever. Phish is up there too.
....NOT GOING TO THE NY CONCERT....,BUT MY BATTERIES WILL FOR THEIR WIRELESS INSTRUMENTS AND GUITARS........THEY ALREADY CONTRACTED ENERGIZER TO DO THEIR SHOWS........... BTW, THE BAND IS OK....
I can't stand his Hee-Haw donkey voice. Never understood him or coldplay. Reminds me of lemmings running off the cliff. someone says they are cool and if a celeb likes them then they MUST be cool so I better buy it to be cool too.
matt, i hear phish is awesome live also. even though im not a stoner, i still want to go to a phish show at some pint in my life. I like their more recent stuff, ie. farmhouse. chili peppers are great live. thats my biased opinion. Anthony keidis is so energetic on stange and jumps around pretty good for an old man (hes like over 35!)
Bruce, I want batteries for my shows!! I have so many wireless UHF mics. HOOK a BROTHER UP. (i know you got boxes of them)
Definetly catch one of their shows. I am not a stoner either and I enjoyed the shows I've been to. I've never been to a Chili Pepper's concert, but I have heard a lot of their live music. I was not impressed by the music too much, maybe they are just really good entertainers.
