The Last Stop Dave Matthews Band Philadelphia, PA 12/22/12

The Last Stop of this tour just happened to also by my 41st show! What a way to end the tour as well.  We were here in Philly in 2010 and that was easily one of the best shows I had ever been too.  The energy in Philly is almost on equal if not more than with the NYC Madison Square shows.  We got to spend a great couple days in Philly to start our holiday break and it was a great reminder of how awesome that city really is.  Dave was fired up from the start of the show and the Lumineers gave their best performance even having Rashawn sit in with them for a beautiful rendition of Charlie Boy.  I was forced into buying the poster as it had a big 41 on it and says the last stop and it being my 41st show, it is now one of the most expensive pieces of art we own!  The high energy continued throughout the show to some of the loudest concerts I have ever been to.  Dave could have just stopped singing and the crowd would have carried him.  The first three songs got everyone into it, Monkey is probably my favorite and this tour was the best I have heard it played, got my 41, BOWA, Pig and the ending run was phenomenal, So Damn Lucky blended in and out of Thank You, Warehouse with the stop start intro and louie louie outro and cornbread with Lawlor was unlike any other and much better from a week ago in CVille.  Drunken Soldier is awesome, very Floydish, but they keep getting better with that as well.  Awesome show, awesome venue, awesome place to close out 2012 touring and awesome start to the holidays! Cant wait for the new year!
