Dave fans out there, I’m sure I don’t even have to describe the sound of the latest CD from the Dave Matthews Band, The Central Park Concert.
The album is another hit for DMB – but how can a band continue to make CDs that contain the same songs, only performed live at different places? Because it’s Dave, a god. And if it wasn’t for his wife and twin babies, I’d be married to him – just as soon as I get the proposal.
This CD is another triumph for the band. A three-disc set, each CD contains from six to eight tracks, songs you’ve heard before if you’ve been to any of the concerts. No matter how many times you hear the songs you’ve memorized and played when feeling down, angry, elated, sexy or sad, somehow Dave makes it all better. Whether you’re just out of a broken relationship or have found your significant other at the bar with another the other night, something about his songs speaks to you and make everything somehow better. He and his band are like Enya, not so much in style, but in how they reach the soul.
Recorded in Central Park on Sept. 24, 2003, this CD was the culmination of 12 years of concerts in New York City. If you own or like any of the multiple live DMB CDs, such as Live at Red Rocks, then you’ll have a crush on this latest compilation from the band.
Whether you listen to DMB in your car, lying on your bed or making out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, just close your eyes and picture yourself watching Dave dance in Central Park. Caution, though. I shouldn’t have to tell you not to close your eyes if you’re picturing the moment while driving.
Hearing his fans go wild in the background in Central Park makes you feel as if you’re in New York City with them. And if you loved listening to them, pick up the double DVD of the same concert. You’ll have a better seat than the fans who filled the park.
