Dave Matthews Band Concert
Current Song: Dave Matthews Band – “Don’t Drink The Water” –Yesterday I saw Dave Matthews Band in concert for the first time ever and it was great! I went with Amanda, Jeremy, and Katie to the Palace of Auburn Hills early Sunday evening (about 6:30 PM). On the bill besides DMB was, Jurassic 5, and Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. Amanda and I had upper level seats but in the 3rd row, they were pretty decent and Katie and Jeremy had back floor seats. We came in just as Ben Harper started and he played a great set. Sometime around 8:30 the Palace went dark and the crowd began to cheer. Finally, dim purple and blue lights came on as the band came out onto the stage. Dave opened with a great version of “One Sweet World” followed by “Granny”. One of the things I liked the best was the really creepy extended intro to “Don’t Drink The Water” they played. Towards the end of the set Dave announced that they were going to bring out “a friend” to play with them. Next thing you know, freakin Neil Young comes out and jams with Dave for 3 songs! They played “Watchtower”, and then two of Neil’s songs, “Cortez, The Killer” a DMB favorite, and “Rockin’ in the Free World” with Neil Young’s wife, Peggy Young singing backup vocals. For the most part I greatly enjoyed the show, I was a little dissapointed that they didn’t play “Two Step” or “Warehouse” but what can you do? Dave definetely met my expectations for how well the band performed, they sounded amazing even inside the Palace I can’t wait to see them again.
Today I had my first Psych Statistics test, it wasn’t super hard so I think I did good, plus we get bonus points on the exam for doing makeup questions so I’m not too worried about it. This week shouldn’t be too bad, I have my first spanish test on Friday and then after that I’m going home to see Laura at AHS’s Homecoming because she is on court! We all know Laura is the baller in our family haha. Anyway, have a great week.
