Dave Matthews Concert

Despite having to work desperately to avoid the viewing of indecent exposure in the parking lot while leaving, the Dave Matthews concert was PRETTY MUCH THE BEST CONCERT EVER. Pre-concert highlights included stopping at Krispy Kreme while the light was on, getting a free Post-Gazette Pavilion t-shirt (XL-Happy Fathers Day, dad?), seeing a couple stare deeply (creepily) into each other’s eyes as we ate dinner, and getting an organic basil seed kit. G.Love and Special Sauce was an excellent opening act and added to the anticipation of the wait for Dave to come on stage. The actual concert was unbelievable, with an awe inspiring jam session in practically every song. Kara helped to provide facts about the band members and songs. An impressive rendition of Smooth Rider was aided by Ian Gordon on Trumpet, Reggie Watkins on Trombone, and G. Love. Being a fellow brass player, this was quite delightful. Kara’s favorites for the night were JTR and Pig. The encore featured a 20 minute performance of Two-Step. I think a return to another DMB concert is definitely in my future. BEST CONCERT EVER!
