"What?! You have a crush on him? Me too!!"


Watching Dave put on his glasses and do a little dance around the stage was probably the highlight of the concert. After serious disappointment last year due to a canceled show; Dave and his Matthews Band may have made us wait longer than we'd have liked to but they more than made up for it.


The show last night was incredible.


After almost 7 years together, Jenny finally fessed-up to having feelings for another man. Luckily, I was also crushing pretty hard myself. Not falling in love with Dave Matthews is like not falling in love with a puppy in a pair of sunglasses.


In all seriousness, the level of musicality brought to table by each member of the band is astonishing. And yet, despite all of the individual talent, they manage to mesh perfectly without any one showboater trying to put himself above the music. Seeing them play live is something everyone should do at least once. I mean it. Even if you aren't a big fan of their music on the radio or not much of a concert person. You will still enjoy it.
I also wanted to toss in a couple of videos. The first one is just to give you an idea of the energy the band brings to live shows. Plus it is a "fun" song they only play live - as far as I know. It is an "adults only" theme, so heads up there! Oh, and be sure you are paying attention to the little dance at about 3:45 minutes in:
The second one is such a beautiful example of the voice and lyrical genius that took Dave from waiting tables and acting part time to forming one of the most influential bands of our generation:
