If i wanted new music, I'd buy an album. When I go to a show, I want to SING and dance to songs I love! This was not the case last night (9-20-22). DMB played 3 songs that people knew, and the rest? People were talking, leaving, yawning. People want their FAVORITE SONGS from 30 year old bands. I saw Dave last year in Irvine and it was INCREDIBLE. This year? A waste of money and time. I left an hour early and don't regret that. Maybe he should think about pleasing his FANS instead of treating his concerts like a jam session or promotion for new music.

DAVE MATTHEWS AT THE CLIMATE PLEDGE ARENA IN SEATTLE, WA - 2022
To begin, I would not call myself a huge DMB fan, but I did see him a few times back in the day and always enjoyed the songs and energy. Friday night in Seattle was disappointing, OK at best. I am sure his faithful thought differently, but the crowd looked disinterested and really only cheered at the end of songs out of respect for this so-called legend. He played a lot of songs that clearly most of the crowd did not recognize. I expected to hear all his hits, but we only got a few at the end, along with 2 covers...Sledge Hammer (Peter Gabriel) and All Along the Watchtower (Hendrix). The Hendrix cover was clearly the bright spot of the show as Mike McCready from Pearl Jam joined him on stage and ripped it, thank goodness! In the past year I have seen Lukas Nelson, Widespread Panic, The Drive by Truckers, David Grey, John Mayer, Phil Lesh, Trey Anastasio, Markus King, The Black Crowes, etc. and the DMB would have been blown off stage by all of them, not close!!! Good luck DMB

DMB CHICAGO 7/7/23
I was really disappointed with DMB tonight. They really need a violin player. Way TOO MANY new songs, play 2-3 but the majority should be the favs. Granny, Pantala, Rapunzel, Recently, Sweet, Hello, Monsters, Lie in Our Graves (LOVED but jam sesh WAY too long) Walk Around the Moon, It Could Happen, Madman, Squirm, Idea of You, Grey St, Digging Ditch, Late in Evening, So Much to Say, Ants Marching, Funny How Time Slips Away, Virginia in Rain, So Damn Lucky. Dancing Nancy should ALWAYS make the set list! They would play an upbeat song and the crowd was happy dancing away only to follow with something slow. Buzz kill. This was my 7th show and I sat for most of it = lame. 2021 DMB at Northerly Island was a fantastic greatest hits show - that’s what fans want. It’s fine to play a song from another artist but 3 was a bit much when we really just wanted the classics. I’ll never attend DMB show again if they have a new album out. Please go back to greatest hits!!!

NOT GREAT
Flew in from Chicago to go to the show with my
sister. First Dave show of the year 8 rows back
Center. Seen them a bunch at Alpine &
northerly Island. Boyd not being there
drastically changed the entire sound of the
band and songs- especially warehouse &
nancies. I agree 100% with my guy from
Indiana. The band was flat and it was obvious
the crowd was not into the new stuff. Band
beef seems likely Dave and Carter were the
only ones interacting with one another. The
fan demographic has changed and I Think
that’s how the band wants it. Bummer

WHAT WAS THAT?
Wow....I’ve been to dozens of Dave shows and
this was by far the worst one. Awful! What was
that setlist? No energy. Crowd was basically
asleep because the songs were so bad, jams
too long, and overall boring. Really
disappointing.

DMB FAILS AND SO DOES DTE
Was really disappointed in the play list and was hoping to hear at least "Crash". Left at 10:00 because we were so bored. Dave doesn't seem to care too much about his fans...very little interaction. As for DTE: they should re-name the lawn seats section because there is barely any lawn left. It's all dirt. Dirt seats would be more accurate. There are a few patches of grass on the far right and left but not a good view of the stage. Probably not going back this year; I'd rather listen to Pandora.

SHOCKING
Worst sound quality of any concert I've ever been to. Any energy in the crowd was completely deflated 30 mins in. Complete disappointment.
