9-5-10 The Gorge Amphitheatre

This was the finale of a three concert run at the Gorge Amphitheatre for the Dave Matthews Band.  Since DMB usually plays their best show during the last show of a run like this, I was pretty excited.  I had missed the Friday show due to work where the band had played many of my favorites such as The Last Stop, Crush, Write a Song, Grey Street, Loving Wings, and Dancing Nancies to name a few.

I arrived early and decided to pass the time before the gates opened by walking up to the camp ground in the distance.

Folks were already lining up to get a decent spot in the middle of the lawn or the front of the pit.

9-4-10 The Gorge Amphitheatre

I had wanted to go to the Gorge Amphitheatre for the longest time.  As a Dave Matthews Band fan since 1999, it was no secret that DMB always plays their best shows at the Gorge each year.

So, needless to say, when I finally came to the exit after an hour drive from my hotel, I was excited.

During the concert I took several videos.

Here are a few of them:

All Along the Watchtower (featuring Ben Harper)

The Stone Outro (crowd sings I Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley during outro)

Lie In Our Graves (probably my favorite song to play on guitar)

Warehouse:

Other videos I took are linked below:

Squirm (the concert opener)
Big Eyed Fish
Fool to Think (this was the first time this song had been played in three years)

Highlights of the concert for me were Lie In Our Graves, Warehouse, The Stone and All Along the Watchtower.

I made it back to my hotel around 1AM, which was 4AM eastern time, meaning I had been up for exactly 24 hours non stop.  Needless to say, I was completely exhausted, but happy.

My Dave Matthews Band Stats:

Shows Attended = 45
Different Songs Seen = 149
# Song Performances = 816
Venues Attended = 17
