Dave Matthews - Nationals Park

We have and are planning on seeing a lot of live music this summer. Dave is always a safe bet for a good show, as I like pretty much everything and he tends to improvise a bit. I saw him once before at Jazz Fest in New Orleans. This one was at Nationals Park which was my first visit there. Beautiful stadium. The biggest downer for the night was the absolutely atrocious heat. Had to be in the high Nineties even after dark. We ended up staying for a bunch of his popular hits. Highlight for me was when he brought out the lead singer from the opening act, Zac Brown, and sang with him. Anyway, we left early to beat the traffic. I was doing calculations in my head about how many trains of 8 cars each it would take to empty a stadium that was holding about 40000 people.
