No comparison, IMO. I think Dave Matthews Band and Bruce Hornsby and the Range would have made a better comparison. That one would be hard to decide between.
They should be named Dave Mathews Bland. Way back a friend of the wife at work got tickets so we went. All the wife and I knew was the name but couldn't name one of their songs. Been a while since we went to a show so what the hell. From the hype she and her husband were giving us we thought we were going to see the second coming of Pink Floyd.
No warm up band. The crowd is going nuts waiting for them to come out. Little did I know that I was in for the longest 2 hours of my life. I couldn't wait for this fucking show to end. All of those endless jams. We tried to get into some of it but just couldn't. I don't know what people see in them. I would walk out on my own surprise party if found out they were going to play there for me.
