Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds kicked off their destination event on Friday night at the Moon Palace Resort on the Riviera Maya in Cancun, Mexico, and continued last night with bust outs and firsts.  

Friday’s show began with a Dave and Tim first, “Good Good Time,” last performed at The Gorge Amphitheater on August 29, 2014, by Dave Matthews Band. Next, the longtime bandmates played classics, “Bartender,” “Grey Street” and “Grace Is Gone.”

A bust out of “Too High” came next, last played on Feb. 5, 2006, by Dave Matthews Band. The duo followed up with “Oh.” Next, they dusted off “Up and Away,” last played on Oct. 28, 2005, at Vegagoose Festival in Las Vegas, Nev. 

The set continued with “The Stone,” which featured an epic “Can’t Help Falling In Love” interpolation, and a Tim Reynolds solo on “A Tangled Web We Weave.” A rare performance of “Sweet” came next, followed by “#41,” “Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin),” and “Jimi Thing.”

The duo carried out “Virginia in the Rain” and “So Damn Lucky” before Reynolds played a solo “Manfood.” The team continued their single set performance with “Out of My Hand,” “Tripping Billies” and “Gravedigger.” 

Friday night’s show drew to an end with “The Best of What’s Around” and fan-favorite “Crush.” Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds returned to the stage for an encore performance “Cornbread” followed by “Two Step” featuring a “Time Bomb” introduction. 

Last night’s show offered more firsts and bust-outs, including “Trouble,” which was last played at the 2018 iteration of the South of the Border event. Next, the duo dusted off “Dodo” for the first time since April 4, 2017.

The fun continued with a mid-set performance of “Bismarck,” which hadn’t been played by the two musicians since Jan. 13, 2018. Last night’s set also featured “Do You Remember” and “When The World Ends.”

Saturday’s performance had another Dave and Tim first; the two debuted “The Ocean and the Butterfly” during the latter part of the show.

At the end of the set, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds offered one more bust out, “Death on the High Seas,” last played on Feb. 17, 2019. Last night’s encore consisted of “Sister” and a cover of Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watch Tower.”
