CAMDEN -- The Dave Matthews Band continued to celebrate their 25th anniversary with a stop at the BB&T Pavilion Friday night for the first of two shows.
It's a bittersweet weekend for DMB fans as the band will be taking a hiatus from touring in 2017.
Dressed in grey jeans and a blue-collared shirt, Matthews led the band on stage at 8:20 p.m., where they kicked off the nearly three-hour 20-song set with "Squirm" from the 2009 album "Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King."
The band delighted the crowd all night long with songs spanning their entire career, including "Dancing Nancies" from the 1994 album "Under the Table and Dreaming" and "Grey Street" from the 2002 album "Busted Stuff."
"I don't think we played this before," Matthews told the audience before playing a new song "Plastic Girl."
"We will make it up as we go along."
A guest appearance by saxophonist Greg Osby electrified the crowd as he joined the band for "Warehouse" and "Grey Street."
