NEW: Unknown Dave Solo Show - 8.4.20

[greyson1289]

Was at a wedding last night and wow this show was kept under the wraps. Friend who also attended has connections in the music industry and showed us videos/ pictures of this. Also showed emails confirming event. Show does not exist on the almanac or anywhere else.

Background: Wealthy billionaire paid over $1 million for Dave solo performance.

Date: 8-4-20
Time Length: 90 minutes
Location: Pacific NW (wasn’t aloud to tell me location but pictures proved it)

Set list (partial of what I was told):

Don’t Drink the Water
Crash
Nancies
Samurai Cop
You and Me
Grace is Gone
41
Stay or Leave

Lol. Progressive activist Dave Matthews still out there taking money from billionaires and corporations for private shows. But need to keep it top secret so it doesn’t leak out to his fanbase

[BTBaboon]

$1M for an 8(ish) song solo Tuesday show with that set list?

Doubt.

[dmbolp]

There's been several of these, Dave doing birthday parties for millionaires, their kids, their kid's weddings, corporations, etc. I bet it all goes to charity

Doubt.

If it’s someone worth about $10 billion, that’s a drop in the bucket for him.

For Dave, it all goes to charity.

I wonder if, for that kind of money, the buyer can actually choose the setlist. If that's the case, it might be financially prudent to go this route to hear Crazy Easy one more time rather than shelling out concert money.

You got me bro. Solid first post after lingering here for 17 years.

You still generally gotta be financially savvy to become a billionaire. $1M for a set like that seems like financial malpractice to me!

Possibly the best long-lurked first post ever.

Has he been holding onto this question for 17 years?

I'm gonna go ahead and say this probably didn't happen, considering OP is Brenny.

Yep, and Brenny happened to have moved to San Diego like the OP. Maybe it’s a coincidence though!

Man, I've been getting those vibes. Hoping you're wrong but obviously probably correct.

"I am going to be that guy on a message board and say it's not true because I want to stir up some drama."

Do I really need to post pictures of this event? It happened; I don't really care what you think. And no I am not that person.

Well, that's just creepy for you to know that about someone. I have lived in La Jolla my entire life.

[BTBaboon]

^ Sounds like something that someone who is Brenny would say

[YouNeverKnow25]

I'm just glad the OP clarified that it was a wealthy billionaire. my neighborhood is starting to be overrun by indigent billionaires.

“I am gonna post fake info on a message board for clout so I can beat off to it later”

How many times have you been banned from here? 30+? You need to get a life man

[madhatter]

Didn't greyson1289 post some tour info before it was officially released? And had some album info that was corroborated by BruceW? I get the skepticism (I've been skeptical in the New Album Thread), but he seems fairly legit.

There are, apparently, 8 billionaires that live in Seattle (where Dave lives and which is in the Pacific NW), and 21 total in Washington State, and Dave did go back to Seattle sometime between 7/26/20 and 8/30/20 of last year, based on what's listed on dmbalmanac. So...I'd rate this "Plausible".

Thank you. I am not Brenny.

My name is James. I grew up in La Jolla and still live here. I am a software engineer. Huge DMB fan and just heard of these boards over the holidays.

Well, James...you posted this in the Tour Rumors thread a couple months ago:

"Hi Brendan - Apologies for the delay. It's been busy. It goes without saying that we will be closely following all local and state guidelines in terms of covid protocols. Health and safety for the fans/venue staff/crew and band continues to be top priority. Protocols/rules will likely continue to vary state by state so any required messaging will likely take place on a show by show basis. THX"
