So Joey called me up the other day at work. Turns out that he has a first row ticket to the Dave Matthews show up here in Boulder. Long story short, GS conducted a little e-mail interview today with "man about town" Joey. Word is born.

(GS Note: I sent the questions, Joey replied with answers. This interview was left "as is" as it came from Joey's mouth. I can't edit the man's words.)

 Joey Tells All

GS: It seems that you have a tendency to show up at Dave shows…usually front row or something of the like. How do you manage to pull this off the day before the show?

J: Well D you see there are 2 kinds of people in life, those that don’t get to sit in the front row and well those that do.  I have chosen to step up for myself and get into the front row, and don’t believe the hype, just because I walk around wearing knee pads does not mean anything. 

GS: How many Dave shows have you been to?

J: I think 8

GS: What is the greatest distance that you've ever traveled to see a Dave show?
 

J: Saw dave & tim in albequeraue

GS: You went to the show in Boulder last night, how did that go? 

J: Fantastic my friend, and the opening act was Wyclef and he was off the “heezy” for “sheezy”

GS: Highlights?

J: A few for you: 

There was apparently 2 lesbians standing next to me, how do I know that you ask? Well I asked.  But they would not pose for a photo. 

They had the “lovely ladies” backing them up on several songs, for those that do not know DMB has 3 bodacious black women along for the ride this tour just as last tour and they sing back up on a few songa, anyway I am pretty sure one of them was down with joey.  She kept on looking at me and then she would mouth “I love you so much, you are the hottest person I have seen in my life and I want to be with you for eternity, and I also like anal”

The set list was pretty tight, they played a bunch off the new disc which was, how do I say “eh, not so much”.  But they ended the set with Stay-which is rock solid live, then the encore was 2 step and ants, personally I could not ask for a better encore.

The “bouncer” were all CU football players, and they were hitting on every chick there, but they did let me snap a few picts of the boys. (GS Note: Pics soon to come.)

Also it was apparently being videoed, why I do not know but 1 camera was in front of dave the entire show so I could not get any good shots of just him.

Lastly-Stephan is way into himself.  Everytime he could tell he was on camera he would give this porn star smile and wink or something, I don’t know I think he’s gay.

GS: Did you see a girl at the show that wasn't in a tube top or tank top?
 
J: Unfortunately they all did even the ones that shouldn’t have if you get my drink, duece maybe deuce and a half and their jun was everywhere

GS: Jog your memory for a moment and try to recall how man Abercrombie hats you counted on drunk frat boys?

J: I think I tallied up 24 but one guy was puking in his hat so I am not sure if that counts.

GS: Folsom field didn't serve alcohol, how do think this made the frat boys feel? 

J: Very upset indeed, as was I.  I did see some frat boys drinking beer descretely so I said to them of course “Miller Lite Hey fellas?, well see you later

GS: If you were in a frat and you were going to a Dave show, which color cargo shorts would you wear and how many beers would you drink before the show? 

J:
I would have to go with the green shorts and at least a case in not a case and a half.

GS: Did you sit by lesbians? 

J: Yes I just told you that you jackass, aren’t you listening?  Man!

GS: Were they in a frat? Gosh, I mean Sorrity? 

J:
No they were like 30 years old, but I am pretty sure they go all the way which is nice.

GS: It seemed to rain a bit at the show.  Quite a few of Dave's songs have references to or actually mention rain falling down.  How did it make you feel when Dave sang about rain last night?   

J: I was moved beyond words to be honest, it was soooo ironic man

GS: Did it make you wet? I'm talking about the rain here.

J:
No no no, you obviously have never sat in the front row have you? Well let me tell you, when you sit in the FRONT ROW you are covered by the stage so no I did not get wet.

D: Do you own the new CD?

J: Yes my roomate burned it

D: Do you ever put the new CD on when you and Tom go sit on the porch swing? 
 
J:
You said that there were going to be no questions in regards to my personal life, in particular the events that transpired when a certain someone came to denver?  Step off.

D: Why does the new CD suck so much? 

J: You know what the real words to “I Did It” are?  It goes, “I did it, I made this shitty CD, I did it all my fans still bought it”

D: What do you think about the Lillywhite Sessions?

J: I think it is tighter than a 2 year old, wait you are not publishing this right?

D: What is your favorite song by Crazytown?   

J: It would have to be “sweet black pussy” wait no that’s dj quik, ummm  butterfly

D: Ollie or Nollie? 

J: ollie

D: Gin or Juice? 

J: Both preferably

D: Anything else?   

J: All I gotta say is that front row is definitely “panties” and if you ain’t sittin in the front then you’re just bush league.

Stay tuned for Joey's amazing front row pics in part 2!!
If they suck, I'll post his e-mail addy and home phone for easy bitching convenience!!!!

GS Comments:

Weakest concert moment: All of the Everyday shite.

Best Moment:
36 I guess.

How can the band make more Money?: Aside from the $55 ticket price?...$6 ponchos with a DMB logo for sale at T-shirt stands.

Dave speak: "We're from Virginia. We're a Virginia band. We played in Virginia and Virginia and Virginia. But there was one other city we could play in and have people come to - BOULDER."

Dave also hinted at playing Red Rocks again. Will it happen? Doubtfull.

- Colorado Newspaper Articles -
As a Journalism Major, don't even ask about my poor grammar, it is safe to say that Journalists are full of shite. These articles are especially fun.

Boulder Daily Camera article about the show.
(Note: This article is full of shite...This guy obviously read the 'one'  Rolling Stone article and felt comfortable stating that LillyWhite sessions WILL BE  released as is with the "Summer So Far" title...poor form. Read closer idiot. Journalism at it's best.)

Denver Post Article
Best sentence in the entire article: "The Abercrombie and Fitch set that packed the stadium likes Dave, too."

Stupid Journalist:
(Regarding the video screen footage) "...was inexplicable footage of ballerinas prancing amid trees." Seen any videos moron?

Funniest Line: (Regarding Wyclef) "He is a young artist with an already impressive creative history."

- Non Concert Content -

Pretty demo songs.

I hate Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Was Arrested
