Dave Matthews Band

This was my first time seeing Dave Matthews Band. Every audience member knew all the words to every song and he and his bands are amazingly talented.

DMB at Jones Beach is always a great time. The energy and synergy the band has on stage is amazing! Dave is one of the most grateful performers always very thankful for the audience attendance and participation & that wicked smile of his never and soulful voice always keep me coming back for more!

Excellent show Excellent venue!! Plenty of room to walk around and get food, drinks, and merch. Good view of the stage from the lawn.

Dave Matthews is such an artist and really gives it his all. It was raining at the event and it was outside. He came on earlier and played and played straight for 3 hours to show the crowd how much he appreciated them staying around, rain or not. His playing and his band are in a class of their own. Unbeatable and with such inate talent that can not be reproduced by anyone. The whole band has such a passion for playing and performing and I will continue to see them when they come back every year.

It was the first big concert I have been to and I will never forget it. It was a great time, even with the inches of rain that poured on us. Great Band, Great Atmosphere, Great Night...

DMB NEED I SAY MORE?? CONCERT WAS GREAT, THIS WAS THE 3RD SUMMER OF WATCHING THEM, I CAN ONLY HOPE ANOTHER TOUR WILL LEAD TO 4.

Dave is simply awesome!!! I've seen him in concert about 5 times, and have never seen a bad show. This one was the best by far.... he really rocked it out!! I had a blast!

While my concert experience is admittedly limited, this was by far the best concert I'd been to,, a good 3 times better than when I saw them a few years ago at the same place. This is either in spite of, or because of the rain which invigorated the crowd. Getting to hear The Stone and Halloween and a 20 minute rendition of #41 was almost too much to bear on top of hearing the songs of a great new album.

That sums it up right there... they always put on a fantastic show!

DMB always put a great show. however, the facility at river band wasn't good. the huge poles are not convenient, you have to stand in one place and are afraid to move around or get a drink b/c you might lose the view. Also, it was storming and horrible weather, and this time DMB were not energetic and they could have encouraged the crowd more, it kinda fell apart, instead of firing people up, the band itself got tired!!!

Dave and the band came to kick some butt and they did effortlessly. I had waited many years to see them and it was well worth the wait.

It was rainy. I was glad I was in the pavilion. But these guys know how to put on a show, played there hearts out and they are on fire. So on. Go see them if you get the chance.

This may have been one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The weather was fairly calm at the beginning of the concert, but within a half hour, the skies opened up, and let all of us the general admission section have it. I wouldn't have asked for it any other way! The harder it rained, the louder we got, and the louder we got, the harder Dave played. It was an amazing experience I will never forget. I left with a cell phone that no longer worked, and soaked to the bone, but it was worth every minute! Dave, thank you for such an awesome concert!!!

DMB always puts on a great show and the Riverbend one did not disappoint. Some great new songs, some great old favorites. If you have not been to see DMB live - what's wrong with you? ALWAYS a good time.

The concert was great except for the fact that it rained the entire time.

WOW!! MUSIC, RAIN, FANS, ONE HELL OF A SHOW!! TOOK OUR 9 YEAR DAUGHTER 1ST CONCERT!! SHE LOVED IT!! ROCK ON DAVE!!

There is nothing finer in music than DMB live. The energy is amazing, the music even better. I had lawn seats and got poured on, but that only made it better!

Dave Matthews gave yet another great performance. I've been to 7 of his concerts and he never fails to deliver. It was great this year since it wasn't as hot as in the past August performances. It's an annual event - will go again next year.

Dave Matthews always puts on great concerts and this was no exception. The atmosphere is guaranteed to be fantastic and they often play a wide variety of songs from "popular' (Ants Marching) to "rare" (Halloween).

concert was unbelievable! The rain made it 10 times better. Not a question in my mind that I won't return next year.

I loved the show. The set list was amazing. Couldn't have asked for better

Amazing, even though it rained. Dave and the guys always jam out

this was my first concert and i had the time of my life

I loved every single minute of this concert. This was my 2nd Dave Concert, and it rocked!

Granted, the pouring down rain made the experience surreal. But the Dave Matthews Band still blew my mind even though it was my 9th time seeing them in concert. Each concert is a new experience and each experience is memorable. Excellent.

dave was amazinggggg. I loved every second of it. I am definitely going back next year

You ve never been to a concert unless you ve seen one in the rain. At least, that was what the 14-year concert-going veteran standing next to me at the Riverbend Music Center said as the Dave Matthews Band took the stage. At first, I wasn t so sure I agreed - it was POURING and my jacket was soaked through. But as Dave and his band sang and played their way through what I m pretty sure was the entire Big Whiskey album, I realized she was right. The warm rain seemed to match the blues/acoustic rock performance perfectly and it definitely didn t cut down on the fun factor. Even when our feet started to stick in the mud, people were still jamming away. It must have been fate that yesterday I was thinking about seeing musical talent in person, because this band has it in spades. Long sections of the performance were wordless jam sessions that displayed the skill of the musicians and had the crowd moving to the beat. One of the encore songs contained a nearly 5-minute long drum solo that was INCREDIBLE to see and, more than that, fun to watch. As the big screens focused on drummer Carter Beauford, you could see his huge grin and knew he was having a great time playing. I think that s a key to any great performance - if the band looks like they re having fun, the audience will too. And this audience was having a blast. People of all types turned out for this show - cowboys, hippies, frat boys, punks, even businessmen - and not one person I saw looked upset about the pelting rain. I think that s because though the band s members may not have lived all their lives in the United States, the music of the Dave Matthews Band is clasically American. It blends the blues-rock of the bayou with the fiddling sounds of country music and lyrics that just about everyone can relate to. I left that show soaked to the bone but on a high from the great experience. If you get a chance to go to a Dave Matthews Band show, I highly recommend it. And if you can, see it in the rain.

Show was incredible. Can't wait for Deer Creek and Alpine.

The rain made this concert bad. I was on the lawn. No view. No sound.

i wish the crowd was more "in to" the show - there were a lot of people sitting in their seats - it is always more fun when the whole crowd is standing

Absolutely amazing. I've seen DMB in concert nearly 30 times and this one was pure energy. These guys continue to rock the world every year. The new album is amazing, and it's even better hearing the songs in concert. I can't wait to see them in West Palm Beach in August!

Concert was great. DMB is always entertaining. Old and new songs mixed. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the venue, unless of course you smoke and then you can join the countless millions that do it even though there are no-smoking signs everywhere.

As expected Dave and the band were amazing both nights. Great people and great venue.

From the weather to the show, nothing about that weekend could have been better. It was the best concert I've ever been to.

DMB is always incredible. Not a complaint about the band's performance AT ALL... However, the sound quality at the Amphitheater is not my favorite. The trade-off is that being at Summerfest is a whole lotta fun!

The two step was epic. Loved samurai cop!!! Best show ever

I somehow snagged pit tickets for Saturday night and couldn t have asked for a better time. Being so close to the band was great. The people around us were super friendly. The atmosphere was perfection. I m just getting into the DMB scene because of my boyfriend (who s been to 28 shows) but would love to go to more if we had pit every time. Gave the venue 4/5 though because parking was not clearly marked when leaving the venue so we got lost when security was ushering us out. (Never been to that venue before\u2014traveled from Atlanta)

This was easily one of the top 3 concerts I've seen DMB perform. No one brings it like Dave, Carter, Stefan, Tim, Jeff, and Reshawn. Buddy is a great addition on the keyboard. Like everyone else, I was curious how this was going to go down without Boyd's violin but was pleasantly surprised by the fire and energy they always bring.

Best DMB show I ve seen. Loved hearing Sledgehammer!!! Can t wait to see them Again and Again!

From the top of the hill, I could see the entire venue... top of the world! I ll never forget that view. Wall to wall people singing along under a beautiful sunset, fireworks in the distance... perfect night! Dave Matthews Band worked their magic with a high energy nonstop show. So motivational!

Great show, good crowd. Merch lines were ridiculous! Items were also sold out way too fast!

Weather was perfect, crowd was perfect, venue was perfect & so was Dave & Co. Seen him 15-20 times, this was 1 of the best. Setlist was old school & ridiculously good. Best Two Step I ve ever heard. Grey St, Warehouse & Ants Marching as encore were incredible. The boys sounded amazing tonight. Timeless. Please keep doing what you do for a long, LONG time!

Dave Mathews is going down for best show ever !! They just keep getting better every year!

The venue rocks and Dave Matthew was epic as always! I have seen him over 30 times here since 2001. Only complaint is beer needs to be cheaper! $14 for a big can is way too much!

We attended both shows this year, and it was so amazing. There is so much love and happiness that exudes from his shows and the crowd that attends. I wish I could go every day. I hope he's back next year because I already can't wait to see him again.

Just when we thought it'd sound different without Boyd there.. we were totally proven wrong! This was an amazing show!

Seen Dave 14 times now, and it never gets old. The feeling you get from the music and the crowd is indescribable! If you like Dave and have never seen him live, get your ass to his concert ASAP! I honestly don t know what I will do when he stops touring:(

I ve seen Dave over the years, close to a dozen times. Alpine Valley in 1999 was the best show I ve ever seen. This concert lacked the DMB essentials...no violinist, only two horns in the horn section, no lovely ladies....just long, drawn out sets with no energy and excitement...not to mention the lifetime spent in between songs. Dave, you can do better. Tim Reynolds is great though, so you got that going for ya....

Great Band! Fairly intimate venue! The setlist was on fire and the band brought a ton of energy.

Where do I even begin? After going to see DMB in concert you will have little to no interest in seeing really anyone else. I liked Dave Matthews Band in high school ok, but then a few years later a friend took me to see them in concert and I was immediately hooked. Every single band member is incredibly talented, the set lists are always fresh, and Dave really brings total fun and enjoyment to every show, You can really tell they love to perform and the energy is unlike anything you will experience anywhere else. I now use all of my savings and vacation days every summer to go to their shows because it makes me happier than anything else. Thank you Dave Matthews Band - now go get tickets people!!

Loved the concert! Great time with family and friends! Good times!

Loved it! Very good set and seats were amazing. See them every time they come to town.

No matter where you sit to see DMB it s always amazing.

We danced the night away listening to classic DMB and songs from the newest album. 25,000 Dave fans loving the music and each other. Perfect.

I have seen Dave and crew so many times since my days in college with my friends from Temple to now taking my kids.. talk about running the gamut! But that's the beauty of DMB.. I had just as much fun in my early 20s as I do now.. great crowd, great show, fun for all :-) I'm not gonna lie.. I was a little worried because I knew they were promoting their new album.. well, WORRY NOT!!! Incredible as always, and I gotta point out the Dawkins jersey sported by Rashawn was such a beautiful nod to Philly and the pride in our most glorious Super Bowl victory lol but seriously, the jam sessions were phenomenal, with even Dave joking at one point that *we got carried away there*... well Dave, we LOVE when you guys get carried away! Play on!!! Amazing experience as always, perfect blend of new songs and old jams.. don't hesitate to buy tix, you will ever be disappointed with DMB :-)

First time seeing DMB without Boyd Tinsley. It s a shame. Great concert but just not quite as good without all 4 living members. Sorry but my honest review.

Excellent show, despite the rain! Dave is always awesome... it was nice to hear some of the new songs, and also not skip over the classics.

Pulling into the parking lot at Jiffy Lube Live for the Dave Matthews Band concert, it looked like it was going to be a beautiful night. And then the rain began. The concert wound up being delayed an hour and 45 minutes. But by the time DMB got done playing the opener Don t Drink the Water the fans forgot all about the monsoon that happened moments earlier. The energy and sophistication of the music pulled everyone in and the vibe was set. I ve been going to Dave concerts at a minimum of once a year since 2001 (skipped last Summer because the group took it off). I can even sense what song is coming next or identify songs by the very first chord that is struck. I love this group. I couldn t help but notice the glaring difference in several of the songs minus the violin. Boyd Tinsley, who s wrapped up in some serious personal issues, was missing on this night. Warehouse, You might Die Trying and Ants Marching just aren t the same songs without the violin. My suggestion is that a tryout, like the one in the hit movie Rockstar, takes place. There are several tribute bands that are familiar with the material and my guess is that one of them could fill in for now. It s needed BAD! Despite the missing instrument, a mix of selections from the new studio album and old favorites were played and enjoyed by those in attendance. The night was worth it. DMB played well past the curfew for the venue. As Dave put it, Nobody said nothin, so let s just keep playing until the drag us off. The set, when you look back on it, was cut a little short. For the first time in about 30 DMB concerts I ve attended there was no encore. Overall, I d say the concert was OK (by DMB s normal standards and something must be done about the violin being MIA.

This was the 2nd show of a 4 venue week follow! This was by far the best Show of the 4 The Band Had great Energy and the Crowd was very much into it! The Set list was amazing and kept us dancing all night long! Dave was amazing and the Night was even more amazing!

Although the parking lots were a mess with construction we got there early and had no problem getting in or out of Venue.. Very scenic venue with lots of viewing screens from the lawn. The Concert was average again the Band sounded awesome and Dave gave it his all but the set list kept the crowd from really getting into it!

Love seeing DMB when they are in town! Always an entertaining show! Love that they mix up the setlist each time so that you're not seeing the same thing every year! And loving the new keyboardist, Buddy Strong! Come back in 2019 please!

Dave always impresses with his high energy, multi-talented band. Only wish it was twice as long.

Dave never disappoints. He was feeling the crowd and the venue and his music was amazing as always. I wish he played more songs from the Crash album.

Although I loved the concert due in large part to how tight the band is, how awesome Tim Reynolds is and the awesome horn section, the playlist was weak. This was my 4th DMB show and it was by far my least favorite as far as song selection. Having said that, they played excellently, and even the plethora of songs I was unfamiliar with were great to listen to. Just wish they had done a better job deciding what to play.

Perfect concert to enjoy with my dad for his birthday! DMB did an almost 3 hour set without a break, and it was spectacular! Will definitely make it a point to try to catch another show.

This was somewhere around my 20th DMB show and they have never disappointed. However it was different because Boyd Tinsley wasnt there, a mainstay of the band his recognizable fiddle playing was missed but filled in nicely by Shaun Ross , Jeff Coffin and the keyboard player. They were all on top of their game and Dave danced the night away. Great set list which included 3 or 4 new songs. We will be back next year, still a great show!

for him not to replace the violinist, it s just not the same...bottom line. The energy he gives is world class...but there are some songs that beg for the old regime... just my opinion.

Concert just dragged on, to many solos & lost fan interest. This will be my last time.

First of 4 shows that we will be seeing DMB this week! The Band sounded great Dave had lots of energy as did the band! His voice sounded great! 3rd time seeing DMB at this venue have to admit it was different without BT and the Violin but DMB has never dissappointed! The Crowd in the Lawn was weak not really as energetic as We have experienced in the past at this venue and the numbers were down may have been the threat of storms that kept people away.

Great setlist, sound was amazing, perfect weather! Dave and the band did not disappoint, talented musicians. Not a fan of Pittsburgh fans, too many are drunk and not there for the music and talk through the entire performance. Don't see this behavior in other cities, maybe they need shut off alcohol earlier

Go see them . You will not be disappointed. They played their hearts out.

These guys played for 3 hours and definitely lived up to their well earned reputation as one of the top live bands to catch in the past 30 years. Outstanding musicianship and energy. And truly great songs.

Dave Matthews was incredible, as always. The show was all music for almost three hours with no interruptions. Brandon s new amphitheater is top notch. I m looking forward to seeing many more shows there.

DMB played for three hours! Worth every penny! Show was amazing!!

MS heat and humidity is no joke yet he stood out there no complaints and put on an amazing show..

I was so glad to have been up front in the Pit in Austin. I have loved everything about this band since the early 90 s. Their comraderie onstage and off and long history makes their music so much stronger and their improvs. so natural. Dave is amazing as always... like his wine, he is better with age :). They have the most adorable and talented keyboardist Buddy Strong to fill in for the lack of Boyd s violin riffs. Carter, Stefan, Rashawn, Jeff and Tim all seem really happy to be together for the summer :). Lot of smiles and high fives and definitely inside jokes going on in those stage headsets! The new album as always has something for diehard fans, something for new fans, and some things that maybe just mean something to the band and aren t your faves!! Everything sounds good when they play it live! Definitely see them this summer- the feels will carry you through to the next tour!

So, we all know by now that Boyd isn t with the band anymore. I ve been seeing DMB in concert since 2000. I ve been across the country from TX to CO OH OK and 20+ shows. I wasn t sure what it would be like without Boyd. I feel like the band totally ROCKED IT!!! I loved the keyboards! It was an awesome show!

From the venue to the set list, the last performance of the 2016 tour and for the near future.... was EPIC!

I have been a fan for about 24 of the past 25 years. I have seen the perform at the gorge 10 times, as well as all over the country. My favorite venue to watch them play has always been the gorge! You can just feel that the band is more relaxed and happy! The jams go on a little longer, Dave is a little funnier, and the crowd is on cloud 9! The sets were all awesome (despite the tease of a 2nd encore night 3) and the flute player from Brazil was the best I've ever seen! Everything was magical (including what would you say on my actual birthday), the sound was awesome as always, and truly not a bad seat in house. Thank you DMB for giving us pieces of yourselves, sharing the music, spreading the love, and ROCKING for 25 years! Enjoy your time off guys. Your families deserve to have you back! Peace and much love!

Another great two nights in the books! This time under an awesome sunset over The Greek in Berkeley. First night definitely had a more jazzy groove going on which was incredible. Both nights had intense moments of sound like a locomotive screamin' down a mountain with the ability to stop on a dime and scream on! Beauford was blistering and got some of the best ovations on both nights.

This was my third or fourth time seeing Dave Matthews Band live, and they have rocked my socks once again. I have been seeing DMB live since my first concert ever when I was 10 years old. The show was set to start at 7 PM. My partner and I arrived around 2:30 PM to scope out the venue and check out the status of the line. The line at the Main Entrance was already pretty long, but the South Entrance line was still pretty short. Fortunately, we already had our tickets, so we didn't have to wait at the Box Office! So we hopped in line at the South Entrance and waited. Doors were supposed to open at 5:30 PM, however, they did not open until 6 PM. Once we were in, we claimed a spot in the pit, and the show started just a little after 7 PM. Looking around, there wasn't an empty seat in the house. The venue was packed. The energy was good. Our spot was just a little left of center, right up front. Waiting in line for 3 1/2 hours paid off! We had the best view of Boyd and Dave. Because I'm short, it was hard for me to see the other side of stage, despite being up front. The guys played a killer show. Between the music, the lights, the dancing, the weather, the connection between the band and their fans...I couldn't have asked for a better night. Dave even posed and smiled for me once when he caught me snapping a picture of him. I was an excited little fan girl. I love how the band is all about connecting with their fans. Boyd shook some hands. Carter signed some things and passed out drum sticks at the end. All in all, it was pretty fantastic. They truly do put on the best live show. The only thing I didn't care for, which was a venue issue, was that the venue is supposedly a smoke-free zone. This was pretty valuable to me since I'm 25 weeks pregnant (yes, I waited in line for 3 1/2 hours, and stood in the pit for another 3 hours despite how pregnant I am). But I was disappointed that people were still smoking cigarettes and weed. The cigarette smoking is mainly what bothered me. People were lighting up right in front of the venue staff, and yet they weren't doing anything to stop them.

The concert was good but I really expected more. The solos on guitar and violin are just to long.

This venue was amazing. Of the 16 years, I've seen dmb, this was hands down the best! Also meeting Carter was top notch. Still in awe.

Throughout the decades, Dave Matthews Band has graced South Florida with 2 nights of incredible music. For most, it would seem that the setlist or performance would struggle to maintain the same level, but for this band the quality and diversity has only increased. Having last seen him at this venue in 2002, I watched Saturday night with a crowd just shy of 20,000 for the 2nd night. The comradery was intense interleaving not only the musicianship of a stage full of superb string and horn players, but also a perfect combination of the old and the new, the rare and the popular, with the crowd participation at a level of an army.

dave came out promptly 8:25 it started there progressly expand your mind and soul from there . Boyd was in a different world with his violin, playing clean concise runs that help you get where you going Stephan's Bass was truly the sweet spot Buford's drums and he horns were as usual fantastic Dave lead them thru a magician tour we just were luckie enough to witness it

I have been to several shows over the years, but this was the first indoor one. I sometimes felt that the band was too big for the venue...sound wise. They are soooo great and were great this night as well, but it was often hard to hear the vocals...hardly ever heard Boyd...the mix was good at first but then seemed to go too basey. Seats were outstanding and we were able to walk from our hotel which was great....loved hearing Pig again. Great Dave crowd...into the songs... but again...acoustics were tough. All in all....a great night of Dave music....this band continues to rock it out...amazing musicians they are!

I got to see a great and amazing show this past Saturday with my niece Mya. It was her first outdoor concert and she was sucked in from the start!

Time after time, DMB will always put on an amazing show, with an unpredictable setlist.

Beautiful view, amazing set list, great time. This is a new venue (Lakeview Ampitheater), so they had a few kinks to work out, but overall we got a great first impression of the Ampitheater. DMB never disappoints- full of energy and talented musicians that put on an awesome show. Their stage presence and lighting effects are excellent.

Great show. 3 hour song set with no stopping. Dave did a trip down memory lane , playing old songs like; two step, Don't drink the water, crash and my personal fav #41.

Best show ever!! Celebrating my best friends 40th birthday and she spins the Reverb wheel and wins upgrade to the Pitt!

Awesome show Awesome set list Closest we've been to Dave in 15 years

Once again DMB has played a long and energetic show. They jammed from start to finish. Such talented musicians. Dave as always cracks me up. His play on the venue "Daaarlings" was hilarious.

Oak Mountain was a beautiful venue with an even more beautiful entertainer Tuesday night. Dave's set list was stellar and the band NEVER disappoints. Thank you DMB and Oak Mountain for another great night in the books!!

My first time at Riverbend. It was a constant light rain throughout the whole show, but it wasn't an issue with the astroturf instead of grass. That was great!

Excellent venue and concert, sang like a little diva, loved the newer songs too...nothing beats DMB for their sound and originality!! Could have listened for hours...

Wonderful concert w/DMB! I cannot believe the energy put out by all of these talented musicians....Simply incredible! Could have used a few more video monitors, as our view was blocked often by people on the stairs, but the band was AMAZING. I will go out of my way to see them every time they are anywhere near OKC. <3

This was just a REALLY great show, first time he's played one song since 2011. Dave just puts on a fantastic show. Definitely recommend

Great show, true musicians . If you've never seen DMB you owe it to yourself to see these guys. No opening act over 3 hours non stop of DMB.

Awesome new venue, Project Nightclub within Pier 70. Sound was great and the band, Dave Matthews Band, was amazing as always. The crowd was excited and happy to be there. The only negatives were logistics for entry lines and crowd direction once inside and the lack of bottles of water to purchase. But those things happen with a new venue. Otherwise, great venue, awesome band and good, good times with friends.
