East coast trip took me to Boston for a few days and lucky for me, Dave Matthews Band just happened to be in town during my stay. Last night I attended yet another DMB show and all I can say is this was my favorite show I have seen to date. Even in the chilly weather (you could see your breath, it was that cold) couldn’t put a damper on this evening in which the band was dynamite and the energy was through the roof. Being night one of two sometimes you never know what to expect on these double-dip shows but I for one may have been the happiest person in the crowd as I finally heard “The Song That Jane Likes” live! My favorite song the band had yet to play in some 20 something shows I’ve seen (and I assume many haven’t either). In the back of my mind I knew there was an outside chance since the guys busted it out last week in Scranton (and it was fumbled a bit at that show so I had my doubts) and when Dave said “I have a sister and this is…” I was in music euphoria. Add in playing “Save Goodbye” and I heard two songs I’ve been waiting every show for in one night!! From beginning to end the show was sensational and packed a punch that makes me want to venture out on the road to catch a few more gigs this summer. A great balance of old and new, some rocking jams, Jeff Coffin continues to amaze me, and it sure looks like the boys are having a ton of fun out there this year.

Last night Allen Stone returned to Las Vegas and Book & Stage at The Cosmopolitan to perform yet another incredible set. As one of the most gifted up and coming entertainers, Stone was on-point from beginning to end and had the solid crowd grooving during his entire 90 minute set. If you are in Vegas tonight and tomorrow, don’t miss the chance to see him.
One note on the setlist below, Superstition was sandwiched between “Unaware” and “Satisfaction.”
Last night GROUPLOVE rocked The Cosmopolitan with two sets at 10 p.m. and midnight. If you make your way down to The Strip tonight, head on over to Book & Stage and catch one or both of the sets.

Here’s the set list from last night’s Foster The People show at The Cosmopolitan. Disregard “Warrant” and “Ruby” because unless I lost my hearing for a little bit, they ended up not playing them.
Any chance to see Bob Weir and Phil Lesh is a special treat and with Furthur rolling into Las Vegas, I was excited like a kid in a candy store. However the evening didn’t start off nearly as planned as it took no joke, 50 minutes to get into The Joint as the ticket/security line was not moving. After missing the first three songs (which included “China Cat Sunflower“and “Maggie’s Farm”) of set one, I made it inside. As expected, a festive crowd on hand and it was all song and dance for the next three hours. Highlights of the first set for me had to have been hearing “Welcome to the Dance” for the first time live and “Like A Rolling Stone” and “Casey Jones” back-to-back. Second set, easily “Viola Lee Blues”>”Midnight Hour”>”Viola Lee Blues”>”Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?”>”Viola Lee Blues” and a little later in the set “Scarlet Begonias”>”Fire On The Mountain” which was just icing on the cake for a great evening. I just hope I don’t have to wait another year to see the guys again.
Here is the official set list as well as fantastic images from good friend, Erik Kabik of Erik Kabik Photography.
If it really was the last time I’d be able to see a Widespread Panic show, what a night it was. Last night the legendary rockers performed the final date on the Summer Tour at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and had a capacity crowd going wild from start to finish. For me I’d have to say the highlights of the first set were easily “Climb to Safety,” and “All Along The Watchtower” followed by “All Time Low.” As for the second set, “Surprise Valley” into “Heaven” back to “Surprise Valley” into Drums and back into “Surprise Valley” was sick and a random occurrence, Carrot Top came out during “Coconut” and did a little percussion assistance. And the encore, wow, you couldn’t ask for more; “Ophelia” into “Shape I’m In” was a funky good time and if “Porch Song” is the final song I ever get to hear the boys perform live, no complaints.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Widespread Panic more than a handful of times and if after 25 years this is the final year, their live shows will surely be missed. I hope that when JB said at the end of the show “We’ll see you” and then paused before saying “sometime,” that there is a chance they won’t be saying goodnight forever.
