Jen and i went to see the Dave Matthews Band tonight. This has become a sort of annual pilgrimage over the last few summers for us. It would appear that even at this early age, Wiggly is very much a DMB fan as Jen was getting pulverized from the inside during many of the songs. Wiggly especially enjoys the deep saxophone and bass guitar sounds apparently.
The opening act was Steven Marley (one of Bob's kids) and as you would expect he plays reggae, but luckily for his career he is not apposed to playing a healthy dose of his dad's songs to keep the crowd interested. One thing I realized tonight is that the songs by Bob Marley that are popular are popular because they actually sound quite different to other reggae songs. All the other reggae songs are essentially the exact same song, over and over, just in different keys.
After the concert we left on our little trip up to northern California. We decided to drive up to the far side of Los Angeles immediately following the concert to avoid having to tackle the morning rush hour traffic. It would have taken the best part of 3 hours to do the drive in the morning, and we managed to do it in less than 90 minutes. On the way up the 405 freeway we caught up with the fancy DMB tour buses and Jen was actually able to see through the windows and saw the boys all watching Sportcenter!
