"Butterfly" by Dave Matthews

Sorry, but the blog had to go on hiatus for a few days. When DMB comes to town, everything in Lindsey-land shuts down. The show Friday night was pretty good. But Saturday in Chula Vista just blew Irvine out of the water. So many highlights: “Jimi Thing” (the band said it was their best performance of the song ever, and Dave did this awesome scat about talking to a girl at a bar), “Two Step” (The first time Robert Randolph has ever guested on it… and made it SO refreshing), “Little Thing” tease (wow), “Tripping Billies” encore, and of course this little gem: “Butterfly.” When I saw Dave come out solo to start the encore, I was a little surprised b/c he had played “Sister” the night before (the usual Dave solo song of this tour). When he busted out “Butterfly,” I think my jaw hit the ground. This song has been played six… times… EVER. And it’s beautiful. Definitely in my top ten shows (out of 23 :) so far…), maybe even top five. Wow. And now we continue with the Hollywood Bowl show tonight… Think they’ll bust out a little “Halloween”? Me either, but a girl can dream… Oh, and b/c they’re saving it for The Gorge this weekend ;)
