Last night Dave Matthews performed an eight song solo acoustic set at New York City’s Astor Place Theatre. His performance included his first-known version of Procol Harum’s “Whiter Shade of Pale” and also included “Bartender,” “Stay or Leave,” “Gravedigger,” “You & Me,” “Rye Whiskey,” “So Damn Lucky” and “Some Devil.” The occasion was the 20th anniversary celebration of Blue Man Group and a benefit for the BMG’s Blue School. The original Blue Man Group trio of Chris Wink, Philip Stanton and Matt Goldman then reunited for a performance following Matthews set and later invited him out for ‘Little Thing’ and ‘Sing Along.’ Matthews first joined Blue Man Group for “Sing Along’ on the 2003 album The Complex.
