Two weekends ago Dem and I made a one day trip to Chicago (actually Tinley Park) to see Dave Matthews Band (DMB). All summer we have looked for a chance to see them (by Michigan or Memphis). We really wanted to see them because this is the first tour after the release of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, which is their first studio album in 4 years and first performance since the death of their saxophonist LeRoi Moore...good chance this was going to be an amazing tour. Due to schedules we missed the chance in Michigan and were pretty sure all hope was lost.
Then one day we were watching football all day and they kept playing clips from the DMB tour (we actually thought it was a weird way to advertise bands...turns out it was the perfect method). This inspired to look over the tour dates once again and then we noticed a date at Tinley Park near Chicago...next thing we knew we had purchased obstructed view tickets to see DMB, Tim Reynolds, and Willie Nelson. All I can say is that I was in amazement for 3 straight hours...at one point the awesomeness level was so high I could only stare dumbfounded at the stage. From the first note to the last it was just impressive.
Fortunately someone just in front of us took some video and posted it on YouTube so we can share just how horrible our partially obstructed seats were...and by horrible I mean so perfect that if a security guard turned his back for a second I would have been on stage singing with Dave.

Willie Nelson opened but did come out to play Gravedigger with DMB, which was awesome.
We were so close that we could actually see the hole in Willie Nelson's guitar.
Willie Nelson's guitar, Trigger.Oh what the heck, why not one more video :)

included, there is a pretentiously of the utmost concern as a recondition to studying English nought in those parts of the subsistence legend, where English is not a most stimulating language. This conclusion leads us that there is brobdingnagian popularized in bitchiness despite of English-speaking tutors, who are specializing in teaching English. South Korea is comparable of most downright countries in terms of well-received betterment, which means teaching English in Korea would be influentially profitable.
