So back way back in 2000, which really is forever ago when you think about it, Ol' Man Snap had the good fortune of scoring spectacular seats for the Dave Matthews show in the Meadowlands.
Ozomatli opened and brought their sh*t into the audience, which was, in a word, fantastic. Ben Harper was up next. It was the first time Ol' Man Snap heard him some "Drugs Don't Work," if he remembers correctly.
Wow. Sure it took him four more years to pick up the guitar, but Mr. Harper, and this show on the whole, was a big reason why. So blame Harper and Matthews if you ever here the OMS version of "Drugs." At this rate, that should be 'round March of '06. But the 'Ol Man digresses, as usual.
Which brings us to Dave. He opened the show by saying, "Carter and I were talking before the show. We like this room. This is a nice room to play in." The band then morphed right into #41 and proceeded to give one of those rare shows where you're all in a huge fishbowl of 60,000-plus, but you really could all be sitting in a living room together and have the same feeling of community.
Why is Ol' Man Snap reminiscing, you ask? Well, he's tired of feeling like this, so he decided to whip out the bootleg, crank it, and do him some dusting. He feels better already. Sort of.
