An Open Letter to the Dave Matthews Band (1 Viewer)

They still put on a really good live show. Okay from 715-11 each night with a 30 min set break and a 5 min encore break.

The set list variety was never as strong back in the day as people think it was. Sure when they played multiple nights at same venue they had to be varied.

Agree that the new acoustic set has some songs that are simply electric with an upright bass.

No Big deal that they can't fill stadiums anymore. Not many bands can.

Ladies are cheesy, but they're used better today than in 2001. Crowd popped for them at the one show I saw this year.

Hartford used to sell out three shows;

And in the words of my music critic friend that covered the Hartford indie beat, “Hartford deserves what Hartford gets.”

And thus no truer words were spoken

Seems like these guys have bounced back pretty good since covid. Dave's voice is toast every time I catch a mixlr unfortunately. I miss Boyd.

I reread the op's open letter. Ironically the Disco Biscuits are everything they would want according to that letter fwiw. I am lucky to have them.

No, I'm convinced I saw it posted at another forum I used to frequent and thought it was so hilariously bad I posted here as schtick.
