Mean Girls Pittsburgh reviews
Dave Matthews was not what expected!!
Overall, the band was great, Dave and his singing was okay but the playlist was horrible! The biggest issue that we had was the playlist. But we did not have issues with that. Okay so the show was totally not what we expected!! The audience never really had a chance to get into the concert. On a positive note, the band was AMAZING. We know that he has a new CD out and of course wants to promote that but to not play anything from the past was a disappointment to the audience. When he sang a capella, you could really tell that he was struggling. Dave was hoarse when he was talking to the audience but sang okay. If you want to hear the new stuff go to this concert! If you want to hear anything from the past that you could sing to and enjoy, this concert might not be for you!! Overall the location was great, the band was great, the playlist was horrible!
