Hello DMB Summer Tour!

The Dave Matthews Band kicked off their summer tour of 2005 last night with an excellent set. I won't be going to a DMB show this summer, for the first time in several years. I'll probably regret it later, but for now I'm content on not going. Last night's show included several songs from their new album, Stand Up. Here is the setlist:

UMB Bank Pavilion, St. Louis

Best of Whats Around
The Stone
Dream Girl
Hello Again
American Baby
Too Much
Louisiana Bayou
What Would You Say

For you bit torrent users, you can download this show, along with many others, from Dreaming Tree. You have to register to download, however.

Call me a DMB freak if you want, but I'm anxious to play the DMB Game for this tour. Because the band switches up their setlists for each night, and never plays the same set twice, it's really fun to try and predict the setlist before each show. For last night's show, I picked 9 of 17 songs correctly. You get more points for picking the show opener, closer, and encore closer, and for picking songs in the correct place in the setlist. It's very much a fantasy setlist game.
