Last night Kim and I went to the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds concert up in Broomfield at the 1STBANK Center.  The show was the fortieth time that I’ve seen Dave Matthews perform, but this was only the second time seeing him perform with just Tim Reynolds, the first time being over seven years ago.  Knowing that the venue was relatively small, I decided to bring my taping gear along to the show.  Typically there are so many other people recording DMB shows that I rarely bother to bring along my own gear.  I’m really glad I did bring it as I’m pretty sure I was the only taper there.

We had great seats on the floor just a few rows in front of the soundboard.  Not only is this a great spot to tape from, but the view was pretty good as well.  The crowd on the floor stood the entire show, so it was a little more difficult for Kim to see.  Now that Tim Reynolds is playing with the band full time, most people are already aware of his guitar prowess.  However seeing just the two of them play allows for Tim to stand out much more.  Dave is no slouch on guitar either and it’s amazing how much sound the two of them can put out.

We were treated to a pretty sweet setlist that had songs from all spans of Dave’s career.  Highlights for the night included Grace is Gone, #41, Kundalini Bonfire (Tim Reynolds solo), and the set ending Spoon, Tripping Billies, Dancing Nancies combination.  The full setlist was:

1. Still Water
2. Don’t Drink The Water
3. Stay Or Leave
4. Squirm
5. Old Dirt Hill
6. Save Me
7. One Sweet World
