I hope you dont find us too frightening

Dave Matthews and Co. said the least and played the most, offering up a career-spanning Cheap Rosetta Stone five-song set. Matthews surveyed the sea of jackets and ties and said, "Its an unusual crowd for us. I hope you dont find us too frightening." The DMB faithful -- mostly up in the balcony -- then made their presence known by punctuating the breaks in "Warehouse" with "wooh"s. By the end of Boyd Tinsleys violin solo to close "Ants Marching," the band had won over the entire crowd, as evident by Kerrys fist pump.True to form, Whoopi Goldberg provided the nights funniest -- and sassiest -- moments. Continually addressing Kerry as "John, baby" and Edwards as "Kid," she advised the candidates on everything from what to do if a foreign dignitary expects them to eat "bear balls" to making sure they dont make the same mistake Bush did: waving to Stevie Wonder.In between his most famous American anthems, Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 "Small Town" and "Pink Houses," John Mellencamp played the caustic, acoustic ditty, "Texas Bandito" (sample lyrics: "Whats a life to him if he can get some oil dug" . . . "Wont you please go back to your Texas home?"). Bon Jovi returned to trade verses on "Houses," and the two belted out the lyrics "home of the free" arm in arm.John Fogerty, the evenings link to the Vietnam era (Kerrys heroism in combat was chronicled by members of his boat crew in a video shown earlier), tied Iraq to that war by debuting his new single, "Deja Vu (All Over Again)." The song combines grim passages like "Another mommas crying/Shes lost her precious child/To a war that has no end" with a toe-tapping melody reminiscent of Creedence Clearwater Revivals "Have You Ever Seen the Rain." Fogerty then plugged in the electric guitar and Rosetta Stone Italian delivered a blistering version of CCRs anti-war song "Fortunate Son," replacing "I aint no senators son" with "I aint no presidents son."Proving to be their own headliners, Kerry and Edwards -- along with wives Teresa and Elizabeth -- took the stage to the nights loudest applause. Edwards, named Kerrys running mate on Tuesday, showed off his million-vote smile and joked that, like Whoopi Goldberg, he was afraid he wasnt going to get the call to attend the event. He then ran down the Democrats major issues -- from restoring alliances abroad to affordable healthcare at home -- before promising that "everyday he is in the White House, [Kerry] will tell the American people the truth."Kerry deflected the ovation right back to Edwards by saying, "Did I make a good choice for vice president?" He then countered recent Republican Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 rhetoric by stressing that his is the campaign of hope and rebuilding America, before closing with the words of poet Langston Hughes, "Let America be America again."Kerry called the musicians back to the stage, and John Mellencamp led the house through "This Land Is Your Land," with Matthews, Fogerty and Bon Jovi taking over lead vocals on the subsequent verses. Kerry strapped on a guitar and strummed along, while Edwards and Bon Jovi shared a mike. As the show came to its close, Fogerty jokingly gestured to Kerry to smash his guitar, but the candidate demurred . . . hes in rebuilding mode.
