Dave Matthews, Trey, Widespread gig set for your house

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 at 11:28 pm in Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Medeski Martin and Wood, Modest Mouse, Phil Lesh, Phish, Rothbury, Slightly Stoopid, Thievery Corporation, Widespread Panic.
It’s a pretty dead weekend for live music around the Bay. The place to be this weekend, musically speaking, would be the Rothbury Festival.
That festival features such awesome acts as Trey Anastasio, Dave Matthews, Phill Lesh, Modest Mouse and Medeski Martin and Wood. It also features such less-than-awesome (but still pretty good) acts as Widespread Panic, Thievery Corporation, John Mayer and Slightly Stoopid. No stinkers in the bunch, though.
If you’re like me - staying by the Bay for the Fourth - you might want to check out the video web stream of the Rothbury Festival. If you only have time to watch one artist’s set, make sure it’s Trey Anastasio’s. Trey’s a true guitar champion. Indeed, those who know music call Trey “the guitar hero equivalent of the Oakland A’s.”
Tune into the festival, July 3-6, by visiting www.iclips.net.

What kind of douchebag thinks DMB is awesome and Wdiespread Panic is “not-so-awesome.” Get real and stay within the domain of your girlfriend’s sorority house. Jimmy Herring kicks the shit out of any musician in Dave’s band, and John Bell vs. Dave Matthews? Please…..

aldinyo–
what kind of douchebag are you saying the same thing only in terms of YOUR preferences? Everyones got their opinions on music. sure the guys in Panic might be (arguably) better musicians individually and display more prowess on their respective instrument, but Dave Matthews is easily a better songwriter than anyone in Panic, and DMB has a much more unique sound and style than WP does. I saw them both at Rothbury. DMB is more about what the band can do together rather than how much each person can show-off on their instruments.
