Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Tickets

An evening with the music and musings of Dave Matthews and his erstwhile, but silent guitar superstar friend Tim aka Timie Reynolds. Dave shared stories of life, song, growing older, wit, reason, advice and mirth. He also was in amazing and melodic voice against arguing for at least one or two all acoustic numbers in each DMB concert. Also while I would have liked to have heard the Stream, Gravedigger and Proudest Monkey the two solos, the interludes, Dancing Nancies, Ants Marching, Corn Bread and Seven songs were amazing!!

I've always wanted to see the Dave/Tim acoustic show, ever since I bought Live at Luther College many years ago, but they rarely come to DC. What a treat! Dave was chatty and happy, and told some hilarious stories (Monistat & Monoxidil & ranting about the media). Acoustics were great, his mike levels could have been adjusted a bit. Great show.

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds really showed their guitar skills, and Dave's vocal proficiency in an unplugged mellow set. They played a lot of new stuff that I did not know, but for the devoted fans that really follow them, that was probably refreshing and I did not mind. They changed up the melodies and cut songs short of a jam, but it was consistent with the style of the show. I do not know how Tim makes his guitar sounds like that; sometimes like a violin and sometimes a harmonica. Just beautiful. And Dave has a future in stand-up comedy if he quits his day job.

I have waited countless years for Dave and Tim to play a show in my area and was beyond excited to go see them in DC. The show blew my mind! Dave and Tim were amazing! Dave kept the audience laughing between songs with funny stories and the rapport between the two of them was hysterical! They played for well over 2 hours and covered a wide variety of songs from the DMB catalog. My only disappointment, no #41. I really had my hopes up and was praying to hear it since it my favorite song but no luck. They did do many of my other favorites, so I will have to keep my fingers crossed that it will be played at one of the other 4 DMB shows I will be attending this summer. While the performance was awesome, the venue was not so great. There is NO parking anywhere near DAR Constitution Hall - all parking garages (and there were very few) closed at 8 or 9pm, so we were forced to find on-street parking in downtown DC during rush hour traffic - it ended up taking us over 1 1/2 hrs to find a legal parking space! I was pleasantly surprised that even though we literally sat in the very last row, we were still able to see very well - the place is pretty small. I did not see any security anywhere, so I was able to take some really good pictures. Towards the end of the show, people figured out that there was zero security in the place and started moving up towards the stage and filling the aisles - lucky them! I would have, too, if I wasnt sandwiched in the middle of the aisle in the nose-bleed section! LOL Also, the venue stops serving refreshments at 9pm sharp - and Im not just talking alcohol, I mean EVERYTHING. We could not even buy a bottle of water, even after practically begging them! Venue issues aside, I really enjoyed the show! If you haven't seen them yet, I highly recommend!!!
