In the biggest shock yet this concert season, Dave Matthews Band will play the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek (damn, that's a mouthful) on Wednesday, July 2. Opening this year's show is Michael Franti and Spearhead.Dave Matthews Band was the no. 8 top selling tour in the summer of 2007 with an average ticket price of $138, according to StubHub.

Every time I have been to a DMB concert, which is 2, I have been highly disappointed in the audience. Fans at these shows come for two reasons: 1. to smoke a lot of pie sticks, and 2. to socialize. No one there is interested at all in the wonderful music being played on stage. Half the audience has their backs turned to the musicians as they socialize with each other in their pop-collared polos and backwards visors. The only time they turn around is when a popular DMB song is being played, and the rest of the show they spend talking and throwing stuff at each other. To me, audience participation is key to a great show, and DMB lacks that, through no credit to the band.
My point is, if you do attend this show, attend it because you want to hear music, not so you can hang out with your fraternity, which you can do any other night of the week. DMB is an awesome group and its a shame that their shows are so lousy and boring.
