DAVE MATTHEWS BAND LIVE!! | WALNUT CREEK
Photo by James Benson
It was a dream come true to finally see Dave Matthews Band live! I've been a fan since middle school! And the first time I finally get to see them, I get to take photos! Anytime they came around NC, I was either stationed in another state or deployed. And as a bonus, they were the only band to be playing!
When the lights went down and DMB took the stage, the packed amphitheater went nuts. One of the loudest cheers I've heard outdoors in a while. Although the heat and humidity was insane, it didn't matter. The crowd was ready for Dave Matthews Band!!!! They started out with a Led Zeppelin cover, Fool in the Rain, which was wonderful. They played many classic songs and a few I haven't heard in a long time. From Louisiana Bayou to Crush to Ants Marching, the crowd sang along to every song. My personal favorite, which they closed with, Halloween was epic!!!! Dave Matthews Band is a must see!!!!! I know I'll be catching them again...soon hopefully!!!
