Dave Matthews Band coming is coming back to Dallas this weekend for the 21st time (their first show was in 1996)! I have personally been to two of their concerts, and this weekend will be my third time to see this incredible band live! The Dos Equis Pavilion seems to be their venue of choice in Dallas! When they first played there almost 30 years ago, it was called the Coca-Cola Starplex Amphitheatre. The Fair Park venue has since been called the Smirnoff Music Centre, the Superpages.com Center, the Gexa Energy Pavilion and the Starplex Pavilion in 2017. Dave Matthews Band is one of the all time greats, and definitely one of (if not the best) bands to see live! Formed in 1991, DMB is notoriously renowned for being a jam band. They are known for playing songs differently in each performance, and this has become a staple of their live shows. In addition to their commercial success and cult-like popularity, they also were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've produced 10 studio albums and have also released countless live albums. Among their many great songs from the last 30+ years are eleven of my absolute favorites ever!
