I've been a casual fan for awhile but am fairly young so haven't had much opportunity to see them, but I got to see them at Hangout. They weren't unbelievable but they were pretty damn good. would definitely pay to see them again.

even though I've played it into the ground, I still think Crash is a Top 5 album of the 90s. all of his albums are fantastic really.

pro tip: abbreviate it DMB and people will think you are cool as shite.

Seen them 22 times, including three on this tour.

Saw them at Hangout, Atlanta the night after, then Charolette the night after that.

They are still good, but not as great as they used be.

Wow, I am surprised to here a couple say that. I guess the atmosphere of Alpine helped out a lot, loved being outside and to look out over the stage and just see trees for miles.

Ya im sure I was high from the smoke that was being blown around me constantly.

Saw them for free at the varsity ...... Showcase show. 1994 maybe ?

sounds about right. I was there, too. Incredibly unimpressed by them, but it was early in their career, so I'll make no judgments to their quality now.

Iveseen him a ton of times. It gets progressively more boring each time.

I have brought this up before.

They played with Lenny Kravitz who we were there to see. "Dave Matthews sucks!!!" Was pretty much my attitude as I walked up the hill (Woodlands) to buy beer. By the end of their set I was seated on the hill with my mouth shut listening.

Saw them for the 9th time this year. My favorite band of all time.

I'd really like to go to some of their shows up north. It always seems like they play their best shows up north.

I saw them very early in their career and they were incredible. House of Blues N.O........Rusted Root opened for them.

I thought DMB was great and it was a very intimate setting.
