Patrick Pho (NOTE: I have to preface this review with my best wishes to LeRoi Moore. I soon found out after attending this show that he was injured in an ATV accident in Charlottesville, obviously enjoying some time home before his next show in Charlotte. I wish him a speedy recovery.)

“It’s nice to be so close to home!”

Dave Matthews used those words to open his latest show in Bristow, VA- only a couple of hours from the band’s hometown of Charlottesville. The band efficiently worked their way through the night’s setlist; with an 11 PM curfew, the band could not afford to prolong a lot of their songs. Only 2 songs the entire night were over ten minutes, never the less the band did not let that take away from another well done performance.

After opening with their regularly used “Don’t Drink The Water”, Dave then entertained the crowd with “Old Dirt Hill” and “So Damn Lucky” which gave a chance for Tim Reynolds to employ his signature electric guitar licks. The extended outro then led into “Dreaming Tree” which featured a LeRoi solo channeling internet sensation Tay Zonday and his song, “Chocolate Rain.”

Things got really exciting when Dave picked up his acoustic and brought back “The Space Between” after a four year hiatus, the song makes a comeback to the tour. The song was then followed with another debut with the Peter Gabriel cover, “Sledgehammer.” The cover started with a surreal sounding horn intro and quickly excited the crowd. The performance was the walk away talk of anyone that was in attendance.

The band was running on all cylinders from that point on, going on a great end run with “Everyday”, “Ants Marching”, a tease of “Jimi Thing”, and “So Much To Say” -> “Anyone Seen The Bridge” -> “Too Much.” The show ended with the Sly and the Family Stone cover of “Thank You” where the crowd helped end the show with chants of “Thank you for letting me by myself again!” (Note: I know those aren’t that exactly lyrics but I’d be surprised if the crowd knew them.)

Dave Matthews Band once again pulled off a great show in what was not the greatest of conditions on a hot, time-restricted night in Virginia.
