I've been a fan of Dave Matthews Band since just before "Under the Table and Dreaming" was released in 1994. My brother, Simon did several gigs as Dave's opener in the early to mid 90's and so I knew of them early in their career. I got to have backstage passes when they played at Pine Knob (now the DTE energy center) courtesy of The Freddy Jones Band. Speaking of The Freddy Jones Band, they're doing a couple of gigs with Edwin McCain this summer in Atlanta at the Chastain Park Amphitheater and the Filmore in Charlotte N.C. as well as a few gigs in Colorado: Steamboat Springs, Denver and Aspen. Watch for them too in Madison, WI; Grand Rapids, MI; Chicago, IL; Birmingham, AL; and Nashville, TN. If you see them, talk to Simon and tell him you know me from the JMDL and that his sister says "hey."

I have been thru the whole thing twice now except the DVD which I am saving. We watched the whole 3 hour show the on Monday live and the sound was terrible and Dave was not in the best voice ever, but his spirit was very high. We loved it all the same. One comment about the album is I find that the vox are buried in the mix on several songs. Is this some ghastly new trend in music? I will finally be posting some new pics of the band while they were here that I did not want to post before the world got to see Danny Clinchs' pics out of respect for him. His agent has promised to send me a special collection of the foto series. I can't wait for that.

I want a full report! Did the 11-year-old boy come with his mom?? I joked with my kids that maybe I'd adopt that boy since my own kids cringe at the mere mention of Joni's name. ; ) Hope to get a report soon. And I hope you broadcast the jmdl info so we can get reports from audience members (who probably haven't recovered yet!) Unrelated, I just thought that I'm so glad to hear in your interview that people have said to you that they gave up on Joni around "Mingus" and that hearing your shows led them to go out and get her later music. That's great! Love a successful grassroots effort! I am in the process of reading "Will You Take Me As I Am" and find it a little draggy, but I'll keep going. The whole discussion of St. Augustine put me off (maybe I was feeling especially blonde that day!) and I can't believe Joni took all his history into account when writing her songs. Intellectual vs emotional. The whole picture of Joni that captured me (I started on Blue) was the huge strides she made with each album. I have no musical training whatsoever but once I heard Blue, I had to go back to the first album and start there and see how she got there. Of course Hissing was another huge step. It amazed me and still does. For some reason "Night in the City" sounds very sophisticated musically to me coming from a 20-something with little musical training. Sorry to be so scattered. Only one cup of coffee so far .
