Tuesday Night with DMB

December 3, 2013

In university I think I saw the Dave Matthews Band perform in Toronto at least three times. Probably more. They are a band to see live; they have a following, and every concert is different. They are musicians first, performers second, but they were made for live jam sessions, which makes for an incredible show. When I found out they were coming to Joburg, I was in. But more than that, Dave Matthews is actually South African. And this was to be his first time performing in the city where he was born. In in in...

Highlights from the show included the band sharing the stage with two world renowned South African artists: folk legend Vusi Mahlasela and jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela, as well as a phenomenal cover of Sixto Rodriguez's Sugar Man as part of the encore. All in all, this was very possibly the best DMB concert I've seen yet. You killed it in your motherland, Dave!
