Dave singing just for us :)
Dave playing right in front of us.Every year we go to at least one Dave Mathews Band concert. Every year we are in the back and every year we look at the people standing in front of the stage and ask how did they get so close. Well this year we were lucky enough to be one of the people up front and center. Daniel and I joined the Warehouse and were able to buy tickets to the D.C. show. When our tickets were confirmed all it said was "field standing" but then it gave a seat and row assignment. For months we would ask each other "do you think we are close?" "what if we are up front!". The concert day came and we were very excited, we decided to do all we could to get as close as we could. We showed up to the venue around 2:30pm and got in line shortly there after. We were encouraged because there were only about 100 people in line in front of us. Still we never really thought we would be one of the luck people to be so close. As we were escorted into the stadium and walked down onto the field we looked and each other and started getting excited like kids in a candy store. Still in shock, we walked down to the stage and took our place in the SECOND ROW!!! This is what we had always dreamed of and it was happening. The only down side was it was the hottest day ever in D.C. and the risk of dehydration was very real. We drank our water, put our game faces on, and as soon at the music started we were in heaven!
The set list is below...it was truly a dream come true for the both of us!
