FH and I are torn about our first dance. The song we've chosen is "Crush" by the Dave Matthews Band (hence my username, any other fans here?), and we were planning on using a recording until we met with the bandleader yesterday. He told us that playing it would be no problem and played us some recordings of them covering DMB songs, which were all really good. I have no doubt that their version would be great- our band is one of our biggest expenses, and they are absolutely incredible live- but FH is having trouble letting go of the authentic Dave version.
Anyone else who is having a band encountering this issue? What did you decide? Or what would you prefer as a guest? On one hand it seems silly to "waste" the expensive band for the most important dance of the night and the recording might pale in comparison to the live entrance songs, but the authentic version does have sentimental value to us since we've seen DMB in concert so many times together.
