This post will likely only interest other Dave fans. We have come a long way from our first Dave Matthews concert when we were behind stage left in Denver, to front row centre in Dublin!! It was unbelievable! The venue was quite small compared to standard venues in North America. We were no more than 10 feet from Dave. The fans there were awesome, and made up in sound for the smaller size. Apparantly the band does have a good following in Europe. The Band seemed so into the concert. Perhaps they were happy to be in Europe? Honoured by their fan-base there? Stefan Lessard had a permanent smile on his face (usually quite solemn), and Dave was picking up flags & t-shirts the crowd was throwing on stage and showing them to the other band members. Very unlike other shows we've attended. We felt so fortunate to make it there! The song list was quite vintage--opened with Don't Drink the Water, and closed with Ants. Also the first time we've heard Dancing Nancies. Gilles has yet to hear his favourite--the Song that Jane Likes...guess we'll have to keep going to concerts until he does.
We're back in Italy, but justify our side-trip by Guinness and Dave. Definetely worth it!
