Dave Matthews is a native South African but became famous as a musician in America. His music is an unusual mix of pop, jazz, funk and world music in which various instruments - unusual for pop music - are used. His albums sell very well especially in America, in Europe it never wants to go that smoothly. On this DVD a concert of more than two hours that Matthews gave in East Rutherford in 1999.
The perfection with which his band plays is sometimes a bit too smooth, just as it can be with Sting. Yet the arena is filled to the brim and the audience is extremely enthusiastic. For fans a beautifully depicted show. (JdD)more
