I Wish I Lived in Virginia
On October 26th, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds will be putting on a benefit concert in Richmond, VA to urge Virginians to vote for “the change our country needs,” in other words Barack Obama. The show will be free and open to all Virginia residents and students. Tickets are required but will be given 2 at a time on a first-come first-served basis. So if you are any sort of Virginian I urge you to hurry and go get your tickets, this is not a show you will want to miss.
Although I have been greatly disappointed by anything Matthews has done in the past decade, he still put on one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. And Live at Luther College w/ Tim Reynolds is one of the best live albums I’ve ever heard. It is just Matthews and his acoustic guitar. He is supported not by his infamous band that help him create the jam band sound that he is famous for, but only his friend and fabulous session guitarist, Tim Reynolds. Together they create, in my humble opinion, one of the best acoustic sounds to be found. I am sure that most of my readers will be annoyed by this post and will be tempted to just ignore it. But please listen to these rare and fantastic acoustic versions of the songs that made us fall in love with Dave. Let them take you back to the mid-90’s when there was still just a tiny glimmer of good music on the radio.

I went through a phase in middle school where that Luther College record was all I would listen to! I totally think that Dave Matthews Band is Dave’s crutch; with Reynolds, he makes the earthiest, trippiest soundscapes out of typically mediocre songs. Good post man!
is there any tickets still available for the free show?
