Dave Matthews’ between-song banter devolved almost as quickly as the mental capacity of those campers experimenting with mind-altering substances in Rothbury’s Sherwood Forest. At the onset of the nearly three-hour performance he talked about the weather in mundane terms (”What a beautiful day”), but less than 30 minutes later he was riffing about laying in [...]
