Great show, awesome to see JTR and SoL, and a couple of the older ones.
I'm from the UK and more used to small venues. I liked this for a change but I would much rather be in the GA pit than seating, with way fewer people. And you get to meet the band in the UK. And catch sticks/plectrums!
Me and my mum went (i'm 21, she's a bit older!), and it was great with her there. She enjoyed herself a lot. I predicted either WYA or DDTW opener (we got DDTW), and I predicted the encore too, which was a great feeling!!

Great high energy show from start to finish. The crowd seemed to be into it all night. We were at Bethel Woods last summer. I liked the venue better at Bethel, but I think this was a better show (and Bethel was excellent). Jimi Thing was amazing.
What made this special, is that we had the whole family. Sort of nice to be able to go to a live concert and have everyone really enjoy it. Thanks to Dave and boys. Enjoy your year off and see you in 2012...if not before!

My 6th show sin 2005 - i think I'm a bit of a veteran now. Very very enjoyable. Cornbread into recently with pretty pretty girl was excellent - they should really do more of these song segues.
I went to the show by myself for the first time, and while that was fun, I missed my friends. Stay or leave was pretty - you and me is cheesy - crash outro is excellent... what else...DDTW opener is what got me into dmb, so that was nice.... you might die trying is great too... funny the way it is? the bridge is the best part..loved it. stay? i'm glad it didn't close the show, but it was a good set closer. Good old dmb.

best toronto show ever.
The encore tease of WTWE was SUCH a tease!! OMG *shakes fist* Shake Me and LIHOG were awesome. Hello again had incredible energy and I finally got JTR live. cornbread into Recently was really different and I enjoyed that too. Thank you DMB!!
It's been 2 years in a row now when I drive home from concert and the gardiner to 427 ramp is closed. wtf?

Deadly show, you could tell it's early in the tour not as tight as Sept or Aug but the Cornbread>Recently transition made me piss myself. I was a fuckin wild man and Dave ate that shit up during Hello Again.

Im a lifelong DMB fan (tattoos and all) and this was my first ever live show (in person). and the boys did not disappoint .
Kicking off the show with DDTW was great and the high energy was still visible 4 songs in. I like the mix of old and new songs, i get that it was Grux heavy, but hey they this was not a Greatest hits tour, it is a tour to support the album.
Cornbread into Recently really made my night, I love Recently and was surprised to hear it in all its glory.The live jams where mind blowing, Im not a huge fan of LITHOG but Coffin was on his game and made it worth every second. Boyd brought the house down with his solo in Jimi and I love when Dave uses his voice to scat.
I like enjoyed the encore songs (although I was hoping to hear warehouse or watchtower) and loved watching the crowd dance, sway and hug as the night came to an end
I have read many reviews that call into question the set list, but Im one happy DMB fan and cant wait till they come back in 2012, and it the set list is identicle I will still be there..

Great show! Very happy there were no covers in the encore. High energy from start to finish compared to the last couple of years.

Fourth Dave Show. Cant believe that we were this close. Just the beginning of an EPIC summer of seeing Dave and the Boys. JTR so wicked!

Pit seating was a bit challenging, but we managed to stay straight away from Dave about 20 feet back. No beer in the pit was a bummer, but the show made up for it. Good energy through out. Could have done without DDTW as the opener, as that's becoming too common. Cornbread into Recently was phenomenal, and Jimi Thing with the Sexy Motha * outra was great.

I got a stick from Carter! I had it framed and gave it to my son, Carter, for his 7th birthday. :)

First time ever seeing Dave Matthews Band live and it greatly exceeded my expectations. c'mon 2012. I thought I was a big fan; and I am...but if this were a competition I would be losing lol. However, I take solace in the fact that for the time I have the fresh memory of my first DMB experience; which I will never forget.

Great set. The BW songs that were played were all favorites. That's expected when the band comes to Toronto. Recently is listed as a tease for some odd reason but it was the full fledged song. Dave seemed a little sick but the band had crazy energy all night.

WELL, I had a great start to the show. I had tickets from the Warehouse in the 300s, and a guy got off the subway and said would you like to trade for tickets in the pit. Obviously we thought he was messin with us, but after a hug or two we were 15 feet from the stage.
Show 16 for me and if I had to use one word, it would be solid. DDTW always a great opener and YMDT 2nd is a nice spot. Cornbread -> Recently and Jimi were great. Shake Me is tough live but the boys did OK with it. Stay is always fantastic to close the set and the encore was pretty good. I liked the spot of Funny to open the encore and obviously Ants is Ants which we all love to groove to. JTR was a nice surprise.
Overall a solid show, but I'll be hoping for something nicer tonight at Darien.

Not the best set, but the band had some good energy and I personally had a great time with the friends I went with. Would like to make it through a Toronto show without having to hear a Crash though.
