Customer Reviews of Dave Matthews Band - The Central Park Concert

Hey Bartender, let me get them boys a drink...
It is with great honor that I am allowed to review the latest and greatest installment from Dave Matthews Band. Having been a fan for the better part of 5 years and having been to like number of concerts, I can say that this DVD is damn near as good as the concert I was at in Phoenix 2 months prior. Dave and the boys have a lot more energy and are a little more animated in this show - but why not? Look at the gigundus crowd they're playing to!!! The setlist is fantastic and the sound and editing are near perfect. I was totally blown away to see/hear 'Cortez, The Killer', 'Dancing Nancies', 'Where Are You Going' and 'Grey Street', and it threw me back, making me feel like I was at the concert all over again. I caught myself standing in my living room dancin' and bouncin' around in the middle of the night while watchin ths DVD. The only thing missing was a couple thousand more people and that certain 'smell' in the air that always comes with concerts. I don't know what FREDs trip was, but majority rules, and pretty much everyone agrees that this is by far the best DMB DVD ever. Folsum was a disappointment and Listener Supported was my favorite - til now. It comes a close second of course. So Just go buy it. If you're a DMB fan you'll buy it anyway. If you're just curious, this is one helluva place to start.

Almost got arrested on an airplane.
I'm a 40 year old guy who's not afraid of getting older, mostly because I've rocked just as hard as anyone else along the way.

I popped the DMB central park concert into my laptop on a plane last night and almost jumped out of my seat screaming, dancing and smashing things cause it was so f-ing good! I'm glad I used some self control because I'm sure I would have been arrested.

I lived in NYC for over a decade and saw just about every major concert on the great lawn. None of them compared to this concert. The sound, the musicianship, the lighting, the videography, the crowd, the interaction between band members; absolutely brilliant!

Every song was stretched into a jazzy/funky, vivid jam that bubbled up the whole gamut of emotions. For example, "All Along the Watchtower" started with Stephan's very mello, psychedelic rendition of the star spangled banner but turned into this powerhouse song where Dave is screaming "FIRE" like he's standing on a wall somwhere, in the heat of battle, commanding his men to fight. Made me think of the troops that fight or have fought for this country.

The whole band played very well, especially Carter. I've never seen an octopus play the drums before. Beautiful to watch.

If you like live music, you absolutely have to have this in your collection. You will definitely be taken on a ride ... and it's an awesome, passionate ride.

Dave said it best on the Great Lawn: "My mind is blown..."
ESSENTIAL DMB...in fact, anyone who appreciates their fine musicianship should see and hear this DVD. The Central Park DVD won the Jammy Award for DVD of the year. Be sure to check out Dave's crazy scatting on the second disk; right after Jimi Thing with the great Warren Hayes (Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers Band). These guys are TOO MUCH...my husband and I just saw them in Chicago; they played for nearly 3 hours! We didn't make it to NYC, but this is almost like being there... without the insane parking and portapotties.
