In a triumphant revival reminiscent of a prodigal son's return, Dave Matthews Band shattered a ten-year hiatus in spectacular fashion at the Sunbet Arena in Pretoria this past Sunday. While the band's performances in the Republic have been infrequent, their recent show proved worth the wait, leaving audiences spellbound with a musical extravaganza spanning over three electrifying hours.
Seemingly lured by the festive season and perhaps drawn by connections to friends and family, the band, known for their jam-packed performances, made up for lost time with an unrelenting display of their expansive sound. Their songs morphed into sonic journeys, traversing various musical landscapes within the same composition.
The concert unfolded with a vibrant explosion of rippling trumpet and saxophone solos from Rashawn Ross and Jeff Coffin, igniting a fervent rendition of "Fool in the Rain." This evolved into a progressive, jazz-rock symphony, marking merely the inception of the night's extended improvisations. Carter Beauford's dynamic drumming resonated crisply, intertwining seamlessly with Stefan Lessard's playful basslines, providing a stable foundation throughout the evening's performance.
Despite their monumental success globally, Dave Matthews Band has always divided audiences, harboring a devoted yet polarized fan base. Surprisingly, the concert witnessed a lower turnout, leaving the upper seating levels unoccupied—a stark contrast to their sold-out Dome concert, a decade ago.
However, the band's influence is undeniable. U2, Metallica and Dave Matthews Band are among the top-touring artists of the last 40 years. That is according to concert industry publication Pollstar, which tallied the best-selling and highest-grossing artists in its 40-year history, specifically between July 7, 1980, and July 1, 2022. U2 is number 1 on the list for most tickets sold, with a total of 26,178,043. DMB follows at number 2 with 23,279,056. The talent in the versatile seven-piece unit is impossible to deny and when they are in full swing, like they were on Sunday.
Although the band's amalgamation of genres, rooted in rock, funk, blues, and jazz, would seem more at home in vibrant locales like New Orleans, instead of Pretoria, they were well received. Their free-spirited, improvisational style received an additional boost with a cameo appearance by local legend Vusi Mahlasela, known as the Voice of South Africa, adding a spirited flair to their rendition of "Everyday."
While their setlist featured fan-favorites like "The Space Between," "Crush," "Ant Marching," and "So Much," notable omissions of chart-toppers like "Crash into Me" and " Dont Drink The Water" left some concert-goers disappointed. However, this exclusion revealed Matthews' evolution as an artist, his concerns now revolving around impermanence and liberation, reflected in the band's newer material, such as “ Madman’s Eyes”, a song about guns in his native USA.
Remarkably, the band's spontaneity shines through in their ever-changing nightly setlists, diverging from the conventional pre-production patterns. Embracing improvisation mere hours before the show, each performance becomes a unique experience, a testament to their artistry and dedication to providing fans with an unparalleled live encounter.
In collaboration with Big Concerts, Dave Matthews Band's triumphant return to South Africa was nothing short of a musical odyssey, a testament to their unwavering commitment to evolving their craft while delivering unforgettable live experiences to their fervent fanbase.

Bryan Adams, the rock maestro whose music transcends generations, recently graced the stage at Pretoria's Sunbet Arena, ending the South African leg of his "So Happy It Hurts" tour. As a seasoned attendee of Bryan's performances, having relished the magic on four previous occasions, including the unforgettable acoustic "Bare Bones Tour," each concert has been etched in my memory, invoking the euphoria of days gone by.
My anticipation for his Sunbet Arena debut was palpable, driven by the prospect of reliving the intoxicating atmosphere of live rock music and the sheer joy of a crowd singing and clapping in unison, all under the spell of Bryan himself. Excitement fueled my attendance on not one, but three consecutive nights of the tour, a testament to the enduring allure of Adams's music.
The vibe for all three evenings was nothing short of feel-good fun. As the crowd gathered in the arena, a peculiar yet exhilarating trend unfolded – the front row was encouraged to stand, inspiring the rest of the arena to follow suit by occupying the aisles. This contrasted with the typical seated setup for rock concerts, a challenge given the diverse age groups present, spanning from 10-year-olds to an 80-year-old lady seated next to me.
The crowd dynamic played a crucial role in shaping the different concert experiences. While the first two nights were marked by exuberance, some attendees seemed determined to try and outshine the main act, resulting in a cacophony that occasionally drowned out Bryan Adams's voice. This included loud wolf whistles at every possible chance. The last evening, however, saw a more considerate audience, allowing concertgoers of all ages to savor decades of musical brilliance and Bryan Adams’ angelic voice.
Although the experience was vastly different on each occasion, the performance remained the same. As the lights dimmed, signaling Bryan's imminent arrival, the crowd erupted in wild enthusiasm. Dressed in matching black t-shirts, Bryan and his band embraced a contemporary setup with a large video screen, projecting a modern aesthetic while maintaining focus on the music. The setlist, spanning over four decades of hits and 75+ million album sales, seamlessly blended new tracks with classics, creating a party atmosphere that resonated throughout the arena.
Bryan's interaction with the crowd reached its peak as he invited revelers to dance along with his infectious rockabilly track, 'You Belong To Me.' The concert showcased newer material from his recent albums, but the crowd's collective energy peaked with mega-hits like "Summer of '69" and "Everything I Do." A stripped-back rendition of select numbers, including 'Here I Am' and 'When You're Gone,' allowed the arena to transform into a choir, echoing every lyric as if their lives depended on it.
The concert's crescendo was Bryan's nod to crowd requests, with the audience selecting perennial favorites like "Cloud Number Nine" and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman." This interactive segment added a personal touch, making the crowd an integral part of the show. The finale, featuring two acoustic gems each evening, "Straight from The Heart" and "All For Love," provided a fitting conclusion to a concert that reminded us all why live music is unparalleled.
One of the reasons I decided to write a second review was that I failed to give credit to the whole band on the first evening. I do not think I am the only one and a highlight often overlooked is the musical genius of the band, especially guitarist Keith Scott. Scott's virtuosity added an electrifying dimension to the performances, showcasing his prowess as one of the most underrated guitarists in the industry. The band's unwavering energy across the two-hour-plus set demonstrated their professionalism and commitment to delivering a top-class show night after night.
However, the tour wasn't without controversy, a topic discussed in the first review as well. The management's decision to restrict photos and videos in the front rows stirred unhappiness among attendees. While this decision had its positives, such as unobstructed views, it deprived those with prime tickets of capturing memories. The additional peculiarity of copyright strikes for concert videos uploaded to YouTube added to the mystery surrounding this policy. Whilst we could not confirm the reasons for the decision, it was great to be able to see Bryan Adams without looking through thousands of cellphone screens.
Despite these quirks, each evening concluded with the entire arena on its feet, arms in the air, and everyone dancing, delivering the quintessential elements of a great night out. Big Concerts once again ensured a high-quality experience with impeccable sound, organization, and management. I want to thank them for the invitation to review the first evening and will always do so in an unbiased manner.
As Bryan bids adieu to South African shores, one can't help but ponder when he'll return. The thought that we may have to wait until his 70s is crazy, but one thing is certain – when Bryan Adams does return, he'll undoubtedly “go down rocking”, ensuring that the magic of his music continues to resonate across generations.

From the inaugural chords to the final notes, Bryan Adams once again asserted his status as a bona fide rock icon during the recent leg of his So Happy It Hurts Tour in Pretoria. The musical maestro, having kicked off the South African segment of his tour in Cape Town, graced the Sunbet Arena with three sensational shows. Despite Adams, 64, forgetting his prior appearance at the venue, the electrifying performances served as a reminder that some things only get better with time.
The atmosphere in the arena was charged with anticipation, intensified by Adams's strategic use of pre-show video clips and a spectacular display featuring a convertible flying car that circled the venue. At a Bryan Adams concert, one can expect a two-hour extravaganza of pure rock and classic ballads. The journey began with the lively "Kick Ass" from his latest album, setting the tone for an evening brimming with nostalgia and powerhouse performances.
Presenting approximately 30 songs, Adams masterfully intertwined his latest compositions with timeless classics. The audience was treated to an array of hits, including "When You Love Someone," "18 'Til I Die," "Somebody," and the iconic "Summer of '69." Introducing an acoustic touch to tracks like "Here I Am" and "Straight from the Heart," Adams created intimate moments within the expansive arena.
As Adams engaged with the audience, sharing anecdotes about his 95-year-old mother and reflecting on his early struggles as an 18-year-old aspiring songwriter, the connection deepened. A unique interactive element emerged as the crowd influenced the setlist, suggesting and enjoying fan favorites like "Don't Drop that Bomb on Me" and "Cloud Number Nine."
Despite the passing years, Adams's performance remained nothing short of remarkable. The enduring energy, passion, and distinctive voice that have characterized his career for nearly four decades were on full display. With a musical legacy spanning generations, Adams undeniably solidified his place in rock history.
However, amidst the musical enchantment, a surprising twist emerged – management restrictions on photos and videos in the front rows. Some attendees expressed disappointment, feeling hindered in capturing their cherished moments. The decision raised speculation on the management's motives in an era dominated by social media. Kaitlin Morland, a disappointed concertgoer, remarked, "It was very disappointing that management came and pushed down our phones every time we wanted to take a video or a photo. We paid a lot of money for front row tickets, and this was never stipulated to us."
Other concertgoers echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the departure of photographers after a single song and noting the grainy quality of the video on the backscreen. Some speculated that the management's decision may be an attempt to preserve the image of the aging rockstar.
Despite this minor disruption, fans departed the arena buzzing with admiration for Adams's timeless talent and the unforgettable performance. Bryan Adams continues to assert himself as a musical force, a living legend whose influence spans across generations. As the So Happy It Hurts Tour journeys forward, audiences worldwide can anticipate nothing less than an electrifying night of rock and nostalgia from this iconic performer.
