I have only seen four DMB shows and out of all of them, this was the best. I can not explain how much fun and how exciting it was. Our seats this year were the closest they have ever been, we were in the Orchestra 1 section and just a few rows back. It was so exciting to be that close to the band. The only downfall with being so close was that the people around us were mainly on the older side and sat through most of the show. But, that was okay-it meant that we could see better. My friends and I were going absolutely crazy. We were jumping up and down, dancing, and jsut having the best time in the world. Between songs, we were screaming "41!" and then he played it. So exciting. Then, between the next songs, we began screaming "Lover Lay Down!" and then he played it. Yes, you may say it was a coincidence, but I think he heard us. Since we were going wild. Dave kept nodding to us and playing his guitar while dancing and smiling at us. Oh, yes. It was such a wonderful time. They played all of our favorite songs-"Say Goodbye", "#41", and "The Best of What's Around". They also played a lot of songs that I've never seen them play before-like "Jimi Thing" and "Lover Lay Down". These two songs were amazing and so exciting because they are also two of my favorites. I loved the fact that they opened with "Two Step". It was awesome. "So much to Say" into "Too Much" was fantastic. They changed the "Little Baby" jam a little bit from the last time I saw it. "Ants Marching" was (as always) really exciting because the whole crowd was into it. I was happy that they played it during the beginning. Usually they play it at the end and it makes me sad because that means that the concert is over. "Drive in Drive out" was a lot of fun to dance to and a good song to finally end the concert with. I really loved the song that Dave, Stephan, and Carter first played during the encore. I am not sure what it is called. It was the best time I've ever had. I want to go on a road trip and see him again in a different city this summer.

I am absolutely the number one fan of DMB. I have only been to one other show of theirs, but I plan to attend to every other one they have. DMB is the best. They always keep the fans going and never let us down. Dave went off stage and came back to sing 2 more songs for us, because he didnt want to dissapoint his fans. Dave absolutely the sexiest guy alive and I am so glad I got to go and hear him play again. Last time I set in the lawn and could hardly see him. I had good seats in the pavilion and with a little seat hoppin' I had great seats! It was truely the best night of my life and I am so glad I got to go and see the best band in the world play.

It was cool but seemed too short. Probably just me. Also,(it's not a big deal), but why is it that I never my favorite songs (i.e. Lie in Our Graves, Blue Water, Watchtower). Oh well, no big deal.
