With the growing popularity of Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds hadn’t toured much in the previous years, but this tour celebrated their CD release of Live at Luther College, which came out the day of this show. We got a lot of Before These Crowded Streets songs, which was great.
MTV review:
As the flyer stated, “we will be doing our recording for our new live CD, please come and be heard!” I could not resist that, so we went and we’re somewhere on Earplugs 50ยข. Not all of it, as they also recorded the next night at Alley Katz in Richmond and used that too.

Plenty of good bands for my last Nutcracker at the Patriot Center. I had always enjoyed Garbage, but Cake and Soul Coughing were fun as well. Then Hole just came to rock with nearly an hour long set.

Our first show with BNL as a headliner. Plenty of time for the full nonsense we loved.

We did see Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters this night, and I think we decided we preferred them sitting in.

The only time so far Dave Matthews Band has played two shows at this venue. We hadn’t been impressed with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters at the Tibetan Freedom Concert, so we skipped them, but did enjoy them sitting in.

Me, Melanie and her roommate Shannon went to this, mostly to see Barenaked Ladies. I don’t recall why we didn’t stay to see Ben Harper or Blues Traveler.

I blew off my 20 year reunion for this (did go to the happy hour the night before), but it was a great show. Lots of new songs as usual, but a choice selection of older cuts.
The Dent review
My second Lilith Fair. I described it as the time as a “full day … watching a lot of great women perform. With the exception of Missy, the weekend was perfect”. Appa
Rebekah was a breakout and Liz Phair & Natalie Merchant were fantastic,

I had loved the last Jimmy Page & Robert Plant tour, so of course I was in. This was a different tour though – not just Led Zeppelin classics as they had new album Walking Into Clarksdale to play some songs off, plus it was Robert Plant’s band and not an orchestra supporting them. Still, I enjoyed it. I think Melanie preferred Lili Haydn.
