Dave Matthews Band

For those of you who don't know, Brad is a HUGE Dave Matthews fan. When I met him I could have cared less, but I have become hooked. Tickets for their concert in Omaha went on sale in April and of course we had to buy them! Unfortunately, after I got the initial tickets, I was greedy and tried for better ones and got HORRIBLE seats. We were still excited to go, but when we got there last night we realized just how bad the seats were. They were only about 2 sections away from the worst seats in the whole place. After listening to Ingrid Mikelson, who was awesome live by the way, I am now a fan, we decided that if there were still open seats in another section after 20 minutes into Dave we would move. The place was packed!! I am pretty sure they sold out, if not, it was pretty darn close. We ended up finding a place to stand across from the front of the stage in the lower bowl. It was SO much better. Even though we had to stand it was so much fun! I have gained a new appreciation for Dave and his band, they are so good live. I have been to the boy band concerts, don't get me wrong I love my boy bands, but this was incredible. It was so awesome to watch them play and see how much fun they were having. I really liked watching Dave dance, I could tell how much he loves his music and how much fun he has playing with his band. Brad, along with most of the older people in the joint, got really excited when they played "Sledge Hammer", a Peter Gabriel song. Tim Reynold's was there and according to Brad, that is one reason they sounded so good. If you don't know who that is, He and Dave have toured together, just the two of them and are very good friends...apparently. For those of you who are curious, we did not get high off of second hand pot smoke. We smelled it a few times, but I would just put my hand over my face and inhale as little as possible. Brad isn't as paranoid as I am so he just laughed at me, knowing we weren't going to get high just by being able to smell it. Unfortunately, we didn't attempt to sneak in a camera so we only got pictures on our phones, but they didn't turn out very good. I wish we would have tried, but they were pretty thorough with their searches, they even grabbed Brad's bum, pretty firmly according to him. I wish we could have gotten some video because they sounded so good! If you couldn't tell, we had a blast! Hopefully since the place was so packed, he will decide he wants to come to Omaha again, or wherever we end up in the next few years. Thank you Scott for watching Donovan so we could go!
