Dave Matthews Band with Robert Randolph & The Family Band

Avg. Event Rating (3.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

The Dave Matthews Band formed in Charlottesville, Virginia, in early 1991, when vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape. Instead of simply recording himself with a guitar, he opted to bring in some instrumental help to give his musical ideas more depth. Dave found assistance in drummer Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who were both accomplished jazz musicians in the local Charlottesville music scene. Based on the recommendation of distinguished local jazz guru John D’earth, 16-year-old musical prodigy Stefan Lessard came on board to play bass. Completing the band was keyboard player Peter Griesar, who left the band after a couple of years, as well as the talented and classically trained violinist, Boyd Tinsley. The first official gig for the newly conceived Dave Matthews Band was May 11, 1991, at a private rooftop party in Charlottesville. Who knew then the huge rock sensation they would become. Come see for yourself why this band has one of the fastest growning fan bases in history, and will surely someday adorn a wall in the Rock N Roll hall of fame.

    Not the best show. Very dour. He seemed out of it
