Louisiana Bayou
One of the gifts I got for Christmas was A Weekend on the Rocks -- it's a 2CD/1DVD set featuring Dave Matthews Band at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver, CO -- the band did four shows there this summer near the end of their summer '05 tour.
Anyway -- if possible, you must see the DVD version of Louisiana Bayou -- it features Robert Randolph playing steel guitar. It's a spectatuclar performance of a song that beforehand I thought mediocre. I don't know if I've ever seen a musician having such a good time playing music!
Here's what I love about DMB -- they love the music and they surround themselves by other musicians who love music in the same way they do. I don't care what it is -- art, construction -- whatever -- there is nothing better than watching people do what they love to do to the point that every note, every riff, every pause is laden with meaning and intent!
