Dave, Dave, and did I mention Dave?

So if you are a massive Dave Matthews Band fan like I am, you know that this coming week will totally kick ass. It begins tomorrow, on Fuse (for my friends in Wilton, channel 56 on Cablevision), at 9pm (or if you prefer, I believe the broadcast will be on Hulu (why watch on Hulu when you can watch in HD?)) with a live broadcast of DMB playing a concert at the Becaon Theatre. I believe there will be a mix of Big Whiskey (for non-DMBer's or just those slow on the wave, the new CD) and some old hits. I just hope they play Dancing Nancies and Two Step. I know Two Step is one of those songs like O.A.R's Crazy Game of Poker, but it still rocks. Also on Fuse this week will be "The Road To Big Whiskey" (by the way for those who are slow, the full name is Big Whiskey and The GrooGrux King, GrooGrux being the nickname for LeRoi Moore) a feature showing the stress and redemption the band went through with the latest CD. Should be good. Then the big day, June 2nd, when Big Whiskey will be released. I've heard some songs off the CD, and you can hear the whole CD at http://www.pandora.com/davematthewsband, but I'm supposed to be writing a paper on the aftermath of world war two, and I can't multitask very well. I think my favorite song so far is Shake Me Like A Monkey, or Why I Am. I'll have a full review of the actual CD and Live Trax 15: Alpine Valley when I get 'em. I love DMB, and while I can't catch 'em this summer due to ticket costs (unemployed father=no summer shows), I'll get the torrents, and I'm sure DMB will be in heavy rotation this summer. For those of my friends who are reading my blog, and now want to get into Dave, drop me a line, I'll send some your way. For those who aren't my friends, pick up The Central Park Concert, it is probably one of the best live shows I've ever heard (and trust me I've heard a lot).
