W.A.S.P. Cambridge reviews
Dave Matthews Band knows how to Make It Hot!
The eager and willing crowd had Dave Matthews Band rocking for two and a half hours, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. The crowd was definitely in the mood after being prepped by local San Diego band, Switchfoot, who played an excellent, although brief, 40 minute set. Wouldn't that have been something if W.A.S.P. had also done the same in his set! Lead singer Jon Forman hopped off the stage and made his way almost towards the lawn section, high fiving the fans, all the while singing This Is Your Life. Any true fan of DMB that has experienced them live before knows this.
