Thousands of northeast Ohio millennials took their annual pilgrimage to Blossom Music Center this past Friday to see Dave Matthews Band. “I like this building,” Matthews said about Blossom (the only venue in the country housed in a National Park). “It’s good to be back,” to which the crowd roared in agreement.
The near-constant rain couldn’t dampen fan enthusiasm as the band worked its way through highlights from its extensive catalogue. Most notably, DMB busted out “Dive In” for the first time since 2021, while also treating the crowd to a 15-minute-long “Crush,” an “All Along the Watchtower” cover with a “Stairway to Heaven” nod in the middle of it, and several additional fan favorites.
The tour continues into the fall, so there will be plenty of opportunities to catch Dave on the road in the next few months.
