On Thursday night, Dave Matthews Band kicked off his first of two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City. On just the second night of tour, the band continues to ride a wave of momentum behind their 2018 release, Come Tomorrow, which marked the band’s record-breaking 7th-straight record to hit #1 on the Billboard charts.
Dave Matthews Band kept the audience captivated for a 15+ song set, featuring an exciting mix of newer material (“Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin)” and “Again and Again”) and a heaping portion of old-school Dave, including favorites “#41”, “Satellite”, and “That Girl Is You”, as well as a cover of Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion”. Toward the middle of the extended set, Lettuce/Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno joined the band on stage for “Lie In Our Graves” from 1996’s Crash. For the encore, Dave Matthews and his amazing Band returned for “What You Are” and “Ants Marching”.
