H.O.R.D.E. FESTIVAL 1996

I will never buy or pay to see Dave Matthews band. I went to H.O.R.D.E. Festival in Las Cruces,NM in 1996. I was 7 months pregnant and was hesitant to go because it was the middle of the summer with 100 degree day!! The concert did have spray tents. Everyone was enjoying the music and we were all happy because clouds built up and rain came. The crowd cheered!! The breeze and rain drops cooled everyone off. The only bad thing was the we started to have lightning. I counted the strikes and they were about 50 miles away. Dave Matthews came out and said his band was cancelling their portion of the show because of this. He left the stage and the next thing we knew was that Blues Traveler was coming out in 10 minutes and they set up the stage. Blues Traveler continued in the rain and made the rest of the show great!! Shame on you Dave Matthews for burning me when I drove 380 miles to go see you my Favorite Band (you) , and sacrificed something happening to me at 7 months pregnant .

BEEN GOING TO DAVE SHOWS SINCE 1997 AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE WORST ONE YET

The set list was terrible and they would play one decent song which got the crowd going followed by a newer song that no one liked. Boyd not being there changes a lot as they tried to fill it with the piano player and Tim Reynold's but it just wasnt the same. Back in the day the anticipation of what song was going to come next was the fun part of the show and he would just play great hit after great hit and the crowd would go nuts for 3 straight hours. Now he plays one good song and then deflates the crowd with a terrible one. We left the show early which we have never done before and I am glad we did since he ended with Why I am and Time Bomb. Beyond Disappointed. I hope these reviews somehow get in front of him because he needs to make some serious changes or he is going to lose his loyal fans that have been with him for the past 19 years

DISAPPOINTING

Unfortunately he did not play any of his hits. The musicality & band are good. WTBS, please at least play what you are known for. People were walking out early. The sad thing was he could not even speak clearly when he tried to talk. People pay money to see a show, it was just disappointing.

ALWAYS A CRAPSHOOT. BUT THAT WAS MY LAST CONCERT WITH DMB

Well. Last time pre-COVID I saw DMB (and am a huge fan) and was disappointed with the song selection. With COVID in the rear view, I decided to bite the bullet and give it another try. Man was I wrong. Song after song was a bad choice. While he played a few I longed to hear for so long, it seems I should have travelled to Indiana to see his next show as that one was rocking. I don't know why he switches it up, but seems Toronto always gets the bad set lists. I'll just stick to youtube....

NOT HAPPY

My first Dave Matthews concert. Sat mid left and could see okay. However the sound and songs were a problem. When Dave spoke you couldn’t understand him - I don’t know why this was a problem - was it him or the sound?? Didn’t play the hits so this was not good. He started the concert by saying you might not hear the songs that you know. Duh - why did I go?? I won’t return to see him again - he’s disappointed.

NOBLESVILLE JULY 1, 2023

The show was ended an hour and a half into the set over a storm that never happened. Worst show yet.
