Post-Standard review: With core Dave Matthews Bandmembers Boyd Tinsley on violin, Carter Beauford on drums and Stefan Lessard on bass joined by Tim Reynolds on guitar, Rashawn Ross on trumpet and Jeff Coffin on saxophone, Matthews led the charge into a mix of old and new.

The fans, packed hip-to-hip and 8,000 or so strong standing on the covered field, danced in place, held up signs and sang along.
