Dave Matthews Band In Des Moines (and Summer tour schedule)

~ 4 hours. There is no opening act, and DMB starts playing right around 7 in their acoustic set. Then they break set and come back as it gets dark with the full on electric set and break just before 11 after encore.

It will be dark the whole time, since this show is indoors... My only complaint.

No way. Unless you're at a premier amphitheater (not Principal Park), I'll take the arena show every time. Should be a great concert.

Dont mind indoor in the fall/winter, but in the summer, premier amp or not I will take outside 9 times out of 10.. Granted they are very limited for DM outdoor venues, and I thought Principal Park sucked. I was on the infield..
 
So there is the outdoor tailgate, and I heard Buzzard Billy's is having a pre show gathering..

What is everyone's plan? Like I said wont be getting to Hotel till around 4...
 
:)
Not sure but that BB game we played popped into my head
Found the pic I used in my sig. I just remembered all I had to do was say they're the greatest band but I went all out by adding the picture.

Also I see via setlist.fm that they are doing an acoustic then an electric set on this tour. Cool idea.

Are a few of my favorites.. Really they change often...
 
Everything up to and including The Lillywhite Sessions. Pretty much a mess afterwards IMO.

I'll be there though..

Couldnt find a favorite off of their Stand Up album.. Man that sucked!! But most of the songs are ok live!
 
I think DMB has enough people that go to multiple shows a tour that I'm sure they change up the list slightly each night.
 
Youtube has a lot of good DMB stuff to get you primed for the show......Below are some good and unique one's to check out. I'll be going to the show in St. Paul tomorrow, really looking forward to it. Been to many shows, every one is different, but always entertaining.

-Big fan of each band member, but Carter is worth the price of admission by himself.
