"We've never played at this place before. This place is big, and I'm kinda nervous, so we're going to make it feel small by pretending we're in a... bedroom. We'll hang off the edge of the bed, take off our shoes and get naked!"

- Dave Matthews

About this Quote

This quote by Dave Matthews speaks with the concept of making the unfamiliar feel familiar. By pretending they are in a bedroom, the band is producing a sense of comfort and familiarity in a place that is brand-new and challenging. The idea of taking off their shoes and getting naked is a metaphor for stripping away the barriers that can exist in between the audience and the performers. It is a way of producing a more intimate atmosphere and permitting the audience to connect with the music in a more significant method. By making the unknown feel familiar, the band has the ability to produce a more intimate and meaningful efficiency.
