Dave Matthews Band Show Revisited I was thinking about the show from the other night, and I remembered one very interesting observation. Remember the days of monster rock ballads and holding your plastic bic lighter up in the air to join the sea of lighters? Well, at this show, I noticed that instead of lighters - moste people were holding their phones up in the air! Yes, their mobile phones!

At first I thought this was very odd. But the more I think about it, the more I realized that it is just the new technological age. While many people are still smokers, smoking is technically not permitted in the seated section. Maybe there are less smokers now... although I doubt it. Hence less lighters.

You look around the ampitheather and a lot of people are on their mobile phones... talking to thier friends ("oh my god, guess what dave is playing!!!) Some are taking pix with their camera phones. Some like me, were trying (unsuccessfully) to record some of the audio.

Before DMB came out for their encore, I was holding my phone up to record some audio... but looking back into the lawn you could see a sea of blue lights coming from poeople's phones. It was very odd!   ¶ 3:53 PM
