Last night of the last show of the summer tour for Dave Matthews Band. It was in his home town of Charlottesville, VA at a brand new arena. And it was absolutely amazing. You could tell that they were thrilled to be home and sort of relieved that it was the last show. The band was really relaxed and goofed off during a lot of it. But their jam sessions were full of energy. And it was the longest show I've seen. They played almost 4 hours straight and we didn't walk out of the arena until midnight. When they played Dancing Nancies we just knew that was the last song before the Encore, but was pleasantly surprised when Robert Randolph came out with his steel guitar to play 3 more songs with the band. We got to hear a couple of new songs, one called Butterfly that Dave wrote for his daughters, it was beautiful.

But ... another show season down ... and I still didn't get to hear #41. Yes, I'm kind of disappointed, but that just gives me more reason to keep going to shows to hear my song. Here is the set list from last night ... even though I didn't get my song, it was an awesome list that I'm not complaining at all about.

Oh yeah, and they were selling Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream there ...
