Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds – Concert Blu-ray movie review
September 4, 2008

I recently purchased DMB in Central Park and really enjoyed it. The band jammed a lot and it is similar to the 2 DMB concerts I have been to. But there seemed to be something missing about that. While I really enjoyed it, I didn't love it. I did however LOVE DM and TR at RCMH.
If there is a better Blu Ray concert out there..... or a better live performance period.... I have never seen it.
This show was recorded absolutely perfectly. Top notch production all the way around, top notch performance from Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds. I couldn't recommend this more.
As far as the content of the DVD, the music is great. There are a lot of the standard DM songs as well as a few I haven't heard him do before. Dave also talks a fair amount before some of the songs. While some of the background on the songs is nice, DM seems to be "out there" if you know what I mean when speaking. His dialogue personally makes me like him a little less but that's just my personal opinion. But once he starts to sing, he is once again amazing.
There does seem to be an oddly fatalistic quality to many of the songs, coming from a man at the peak of his career with what appears to be many good years to come. Matthews is one of the great songwriters of his generation and whether with his band or in intimate settings like this one, his songs resonate to those who have grown up listening to his music. He has amassed a strong following, as witnessed by the many live albums now available, showing that he gives as much as he receives, in allowing his listeners to experience his shows like this remarkable performance at Radio City Music Hall.
