    They still have concerts for the elites in the Woodlands? Sorry but as much as I like the Dave Matthews Band, I will not be going because Cynthia Woods is too far away, obviously not centrally located and outdoor concerts are something you can have in California where the weather is a hell of a lot nicer! Southeast Texas is not the place for outdoor concerts!

    Had they booked House of Blues or Verizon Wireless both centrally located in downtown Houston and indoors I would have gone.

    You don't have to be hip to listen to the awful DMB, you just have to be an idiot.

    Two years ago Dave Matthews was playing the 10,000 Lakes Music Festival. This was also the year that Widespread Panic and Wilco played. I will say that this is the first year where I got tickets at Ticketsinventory.com I requested, even the hard shows. A few of our friends left Saturday afternoon to avoid the DMB crowd, as they were there to primarily see WSP and Wilco. The crowds definitely did not mesh well.
