Last night was the free Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds for acoustic show in Richmond for Obama. The show was called Last Chance for Change. My fiancee and I were lucky enough to have front row seats for the concert. In terms of a normal Dave Matthews show, this was a small show. There were only about 5,000 tickets available. The tickets were available on Saturday, October 18th at the Obama offices in Richmond and Charlottesville. All of the tickets were gone by 11am.
Governor Tim Kaine came out before the show and emphasized his early support for Obama and the importance of voting. He also told the crowd how we can turn Virginia blue in nine days.
Dave Matthews was an amazing advocate for Obama last night not only dedicating one of his most popular songs "Crash" to Obama but also saying:

"I must say it is my opinion that if Obama becomes the next president that the screams of celebration that will come from all over the world to this country will be audible without microphones."
Dave continued to not only play amazing songs for over two and a half hours but he also showed his support for Obama several times. He told the audience that he was lucky to be able to do what he loves for a living and several times saying that he is excited to be taxed more saying,
"I'm well-compensated for doing what I love to do so go ahead and tax me heavy so someone else can take a little break."
During the show he said that their were so many reasons to vote for Obama. The majority for the audience agreed and the cheers and claps when he spoke about Obama shook the arena.
"What's not to love," Dave said, "make the world love us again."
The concert was electrifying. Having a free Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds acoustic show for Obama was an amazing treat for all who attended.
