whitey Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 DMB? Any Dave Mathews Band fans out there? My favorite song by them are "Where are you going" on the 'Busted Stuff' CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I used to like them a lot, but their albums have been disapointing (at least to me) for years and years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colduser Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 ^^Sorry for you man. Jam bands have created some of the best live music in history. Grateful Dead, Phish, Allman Brothers, DMB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakedemon Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 yea best LIVE music maybe....but i mean, what incentive do I have to go to a show if i cant stand their studio stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I went to see them live once when I still liked them. It was shortly after Everyday came out..I think with that album it all went under. It was no longer jamming, it was too studio sounding, too fake, too radio-friendly. Anyway, they put on a good show, but I wouldn't go now since I have no interest in what they have been doing with their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Justine* Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Some bands just do not know when it is time to let it go... dmb is one example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Justine* Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 As long as the albums are good, it won't. As long as the heart is there in the art of the music, and not just love for the money, they will keep their integrity. This new record is not as strong in my opinion. The next one, I hope, will be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colduser Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 i heard from friends who are fans that both the new album and recent shows suck Different strokes for different folks I guess. Here's a review from the show I saw on Thursday and it is right on: Copyright Times Publishing Co. Jul 15, 2005 Okay, so I get it now. The Dave Matthews thing, that is. The cult. The adoration. The previous unexplainable, inexplicable, seemingly contrary-to-logic phenomenon that is the Dave Matthews fan base. "It's a special occasion. It's DMB. They don't have to (see what we do). They know. They can feel it. It's DMB. They get the love," said fan Tara Raes. Come on, Tara. They get the love? Are you kidding? Damn, do they get the love. At the amphitheater show, they got love you just don't see often, especially when at least half of the capacity crowd, 20,000 strong, trudged through a minefield of parking lot mud pits just to reach the amphitheater stage. If there is a band that prompts a more familiar groove from its fans, this reviewer has never seen it. On Thursday I realized the power of a Dave Matthews Band show. With the DMB, we're all family. We're all old school. We're all at the family reunion, we're all at girls' night out, we're all at boys' night out. We're all together, and DMB finds a way to make it so. They played songs, mind you, but the individual songs hardly mattered. You caught What Would You Say here, or Ants Marching there, and more tunes than expected off the newest disc, Stand Up, and really it didn't matter, because it's the DMB, and they play so tight. They play with such an organic syncopation that they could rip through Oops! I Did it Again and you would play along for every single second. Why? Because despite their spotty recording history, they are that incredible live. They are in their element and then some. They are a rock band, a blues band, a jazz band, a jam band. And as best a straight man can put it, they are adorable. They are the Dan Cortese to the George Costanza and his man-crush on Seinfeld. They are guys' guys, and man are they ever ladies' men. Take it from every close-up of Matthews on his acoustic guitar, of violinist Boyd Tinsley with his impressive exposed biceps, of easygoing, unflappable drummer Carter Beauford. They are expert musicians, and to DMB fans, they are idols, they are mentors, they are family. It was a reunion of sorts Thursday night, even for fans who never had seen DMB live before. It was a party, and everyone was included, everyone was invited, and one can hardly imagine a soul left unhappy. If there is a better way to enjoy oneself on a rainy summer evening, I can hardly imagine how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have to say i WAS very disippointed in their new album 'Stand up'.

SaraEve41 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Dave Matthews Band I didn't see any thread about them, so I wanted to go ahead and start one. Are there any fans? I know that they do not tour internationally on a regular basis, but for those who have seen them, they put on a great show. I am going to my 20th and 21st show in December, and I am extremely happy, especially because I have 4th row seats for them. Any other fans of their music? :guitarist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijeli_Miš Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Yeah they are good. My everlasting favourite of course is "crash into me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearAsCrystal Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I'd consider myself a pretty big fan...and another one in this message board (which surprisingly...hasn't had his dave matthews band sense hone in on this thread) is 'thebestyoucan'. I think that dave's voice is one of a kind and has a funny dance too when playing live! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
