Now it is time for the second part of the Dave Matthews Band concert at Alpine Valley on Saturday, August 9. Simply put, the show was awesome. The best concert I have ever been to. Just kidding. Nothing will ever surpass Radiohead. Unless Radiohead decides to be the house band at our wedding. Speaking of wedding, I forgot to mention that the Radiohead concert was on Aug. 1, exactly one year before our wedding, so how could it have been bad. Did I mention that the Radiohaed concert was the best show I have ever been to? Well, in case I didn't, it was great. The show was in Grant Park during the first night of Lollapalooza and they played a sparkling two hour set. But alas, this story is about the Dave show.
A rather unfortunate incident happened to me during the first song, which I detailed in my previous post. The first song was a "Dancing Nancies", a personal favorite. The next song was "Seek Up", which I mostly missed as I was washing off my foot. Unlike previous shows in the last few years, the Band seemed to dig deep in their catalog and played old jam after old jam. This set included "Crush", "Halloween", "Ants Marching" and covers of Pink Floyd's "Money" and the Talking Heads "Burning Down the House." The personal highlight for me was "Spoon", a rare deep cut from Before These Crowded Streets. It really was a great show and here is a link to the set list if you are interested.
