The concert that longtime fans waited since the first visit over two dozen songs, delivery and full availability of the band, recoveries of the first disc in a long journey that began shortly after 20:00 and only just beyond midnight.
In the mid-90s when they came in the first echoes of the songs from Dave Matthews Band seemed that eye contact with the group in the near future would be a utopia. As aprofundávamos knowledge of the work of North American, grew the desire to witness one of those intense concerts, unpredictable alignment and worry over time. The album ‘Crash’ in 1996 had an impact around here but little thing a few more ears to what was produced on the other side of the Atlantic. Therefore, the double recorded live at Red Rocks edited in 1997 served to get closer to fans around here.
Ten years later, Dave Matthews and his companions arrived in Lisbon to as exciting as intense concert that had to editing honors in special album to be considered by the band. It was not late for fans of the first hour fulfill their dream and vitality of the band took their music becoming more public.
Then came the second visit in the middle of Alive in Algés festival. Necessarily a shorter format and direct euphorically received. Was born a love story between the Portuguese public and a typically North American band that spends very little time in Europe.
was missing one night of consecration, a concert with no strings attached or conditioning. A visit in which the band could parade their classic early albums, improvise at will in the famous instrumental solos that end up in extensive jams and even to experience new songs.
Tonight arrived . 11 October is to the history of MEO Arena as one in which Dave Matthews Band was four hours on stage, with a half-hour break.
The marathon was only surprise to those not familiar with the genesis of the group or did not read the letter of intent in presenting the concert. The idea was to have two sets in the same night. If a normal concert usually already be well fed in alignment, as we saw in 2007, two alignments with room for more acoustic and simple moments, let guess a great night.
Easily, we can identify the most dedicated fans in packed audience that never yielded and still managed to start an epic encore after hours with the classic “Ants Marching”!
It was for them, and a few thousand scattered throughout the stands, the band gave heart this startup European tour.
The surprise of the night, for those who watched more coolly the event, was the amount of couples and groups who bought ticket inspired only by the latest songs that have come to have honors air play the most heard radio. We found that the 19th song of the night when the euphoric reaction to the first chords of “If Only” took many hundreds of spectators to finally stand up mobile phone in hand to record those minutes they were really happy.
Slow stampede we were watching the counters 1 and 2 accused the lack of identification of many viewers with the band we were seeing. It may seem strange that pay to see Dave Matthews Band and the concert where the group closest to the performances that we have come to envy by distant reports to see so many people come to your life, indifferent to the parade of songs that most absorbed greedily. Signs of time easy and immediate consumption.
25 songs have been divided into two parts. It started with “Wharehouse” and the new “Black and the Blue Bird», passed by “Dancing Nancies”, “Crush” and “Satellite”, for example. Only this first parade of nine themes already gave to satiate much of the present.
But the expectation was huge and only charged a second part of the most classic could blow up the stamina of the audience faithful.
This is what happened after the break came 16 more issues that began in intimate and acoustic tone, only Dave Matthews at the piano a couple of times. Reynolds to present “Bartender,” very well received.
He was given the tone for the final sonic assault. “Seek Up” gave way to a brutally interrupted silence with a very strong version of “Don’t Drink The Water”.
Dave Matthews seemed right with the rest of the band the following alignment at each interval. It was with great pleasure that the public saw all the 1994 drive to visits “Under The Table and Dreaming,” as well as “Before These Crowded Streets” of 1998 and, of course, “Crash.”
Served for all leave the MEO Arena filled? No. On the way out we heard laments the lack of “Crash Into Me” or “Two Steps”. People who would have stayed another hour willingly, in contrast to the many who did not hold the marathon and turned back. Sacrilegious. You never know what is the maximum energy of a band of excellence to attack “What Would You Say”.
It was the night that lacked the Dave Matthews Band in Portugal
