Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Townsend on February 18, 2009, 05:02:30 pm Will they be in their travel bus and which bridges will they cross? I'd like to catch a souvenir.
Great to hear another good show's coming to town. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Gold on February 18, 2009, 05:14:10 pm There are some folks I know who said the BOK would never bring in big name events and were quite sure of themselves. I'd like to take this opportunity to LMAO at them.

Post by: Nik on February 18, 2009, 07:16:29 pm Pretty exciting. Can't wait to see who opens. The Hold Steady is opening up for them for a few shows earlier in the tour. Oh man, that would be awesome.

Dave Matthews Band in Tulsa: Fri 10/02/09 Seems to be a massive tour this year: Kansas City Little Rock Dallas Albuquerque To name the towns immediately around us. Kansas City, Little Rock and Tulsa within a week. Not that it is a problem with Dave Matthews, but it is nice to see a regional draw. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: guido911 on February 19, 2009, 08:39:51 am One of my favorite Futurama lines:
Nibblonian: You are the last hope of the universe. Fry: So I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct? Nibblonian: Yes - except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Dana431 on February 19, 2009, 10:35:01 am Finally, the BOK gets a band that lies somewhere in between Fleetwood Mac and Slipknot!
Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Nik on February 27, 2009, 07:20:04 am Willie Nelson and Family is the opener. Not excited about that at all. What a let down.
Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Hoss on February 27, 2009, 08:08:13 am quote: Since when have people let the opening act decide whether or not they attended a concert? Hell, I drove all the way to Austin TX to see NIN back in 1995 when they were opening for David Bowie. Guess what? I don't like David Bowie. We left after NIN was done, and so did about half the crowd. NIN was worth the 7.5 hr drive and the 175 dollars in tickets. Somehow I doubt fans of DM will care who the opener is. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Conan71 on February 27, 2009, 12:26:45 pm quote: I'll gladly take your seats. I saw Willie at his last show at the Cain's. I went because at his age you never know when it might be his last tour. He's not much of a stage show, but it's well worth hearing him in concert. That was a fun show. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: rwarn17588 on February 27, 2009, 01:06:56 pm quote: Don't dis a living legend who's written more memorable songs than anyone but a handful of people. And he's sung a lot of 'em, too. I was at that Cain's show with Conan. Willie's version of Kristofferson's "A Moment of Forever" made my wife cry. Besides, Matthews is a country fan. I'm sure he's thrilled at the least to, ahem, share a peace pipe with him offstage. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Nik on February 27, 2009, 01:34:02 pm I'm not criticizing Willie Nelson or any of his fans. I have a very eclectic taste in music as well. I'm just personally not a fan. I too have seen shows just for the opener and I have let the opener decide whether to go or not. When Clapton played OKC, I was probably going to go but when Robert Randolph was announced at the opener, then that sealed the deal. Twice now, I've paid to see Eric Hutchinson open for somebody and then I did not stick around for the main act.
I, personally, was just bummed at the opener given the other acts that are opening DMB's other shows this tour including Robert Randolph, Donovan Frankenreiter, Umphrey's McGee, Jason Mraz, The Roots and The Hold Steady. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: rwarn17588 on February 27, 2009, 01:36:43 pm I should add that Willie has put out more really good albums in the past year than Dave. That's not a knock against Matthews; it's just that Willie is really stretching musically.
A new album right now was recorded with Western swing outfit Asleep at the Wheel and is getting great reviews. But the best is his collaboration last year with Winton Marsalis. It sounded like a mix of blues and old New Orleans jazz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7_zPCeg0c8 Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK! Post by: Conan71 on February 27, 2009, 03:01:55 pm I guess I think of Willie being more "Americana" than country.
I think it's a cool mix having Willie open. And I'm even more excited about the show. I'm definitely going even if I have to *gasp* make some a88-raping scalper's day. One of my daugher's is a total DMB-head. She's going to be happy about this. Title: Dave Matthews Band at the BOK!

DMB was originally going to be $65. Even if it's $80 each, that's like seeing Willie again and getting to see Dave for $15 to $30. [:D] |
