Produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), Big Whiskey has been hailed by Rolling Stone as the group’s “heaviest album yet, both musically and emotionally,” which went on to note: “Throughout, Carter Beauford beats out elaborate, propulsive groves; bassist Stefan Lessard lays down Flea-style funk bass lines; violinist Boyd Tinsley plays cresting, intense runs; and Matthews mirrors Moore’s saxophone lines with scatlike singing.” Billboard, in a cover story on Dave Matthews Band, praised Big Whiskey as “its best album yet….Highlights include the funk-rock rave-up Shake Me, the stirring ballad In the Hands of God, the swampy rocker Alligator Pie (Cockadile), radio-friendly fare like Why I Am, which features playful horns over a solid rock riff and a hooky chorus, and Funny the Way It Is, which parlays a subtle intro into a soaring, syncopated anthem.”

As part of a continual effort to celebrate the life and memory of our friend and brother, founding DMB member LeRoi Moore, we are releasing his last concert performance as Live Trax Volume 14. Proceeds from the sales will be donated by Dave Matthews Band in LeRoi’s memory to the Charlottesville Music Resource Center and the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville-Albemarle, among other charitable organizations which best reflect LeRoi’s spirit and passions.

Highlights of the Nissan show include the acoustic version of The Space Between, a song that had not been played live since 04. Sledgehammer made its live debut at the Nissan show, afterwards becoming a favorite on summer tour set lists. Other highlights include the ever-passionate Don't Drink the Water, a tight version of So Damn Lucky followed by The Dreaming Tree; Boyd's jam on Louisiana Bayou and LeRoi and Rashawn's jam on Anyone Seen the Bridge are also noteworthy. The show ended with another summer tour favorite, Sly and the Family Stone's Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Agin).

History was made on June 7, 2008, as Dave Matthews Band became the first artist to perform a concert at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO. DMB rocked the major league stadium that night, performing in center field in front of close to 35,000 fans.

Highlights of the show include Pay For What You Get and the rarity Recently > Water into Wine jam which had not been played in over ten years. Other songs of note include a superb performance of Crush and covers of Neil Young’s Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) and Sly and the Family Stone’s Thank You (Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Again)! All DMB albums were represented at the Busch Stadium show plus Dave Matthews’ Some Devil release!

08.29.2000 SPAC, Saratoga Springs, NY The summer of 2000 found DMB continuing to evolve; each band member was really “coming into their own”, showcasing their individual talents and strengths on stage. Butch Taylor joined DMB during the summer of 2000 and has been performing with Dave Matthews Band ever since! Although the SPAC show occurred towards the end of the summer tour, DMB managed to pull out some real surprises on stage that August evening.

DMB gained traction immediately with show opener The Stone and didn’t slow down until Grace is Gone, a new song introduced that summer. Digging A Ditch is also a song on the SPAC setlist which debuted during the 2000 summer tour. To the delight of every hardcore DMB fan in the house, noted rarity Minarets was performed. Lie In Our Graves was played and featured spectacular solos by Boyd and Butch. The band teased the first few notes of Too Much after Anyone Seen the Bridge but threw the crowd for a loop when they completely switched gears and launched into an incredible Ants Marching jam. #41 was performed with lots of momentum with LeRoi pulling out all the stops. Lastly, Daniel Lanois’ spirited song The Maker is also a highlight of the 2000 SPAC show.

05.25.2007 Pavilion Atlantico, Lisbon, Portugal was the second European stop for Dave Matthews Band in spring of 2007. DMB played their hearts out for almost three hours (longest show in 2007) to an ecstatic crowd of 18,000, most of whom were seeing their very first Dave Matthews Band show!

The Lisbon show featured a very rare double encore of Gravedigger > Jimi Thing, Stay followed by Don't Drink the Water, Pantala Naga Pampa > Rapunzel. Another highlight of the show was Tom Morello's surprise guest appearance, a first with DMB. Morello, guitarist from Rage Against the Machine, joined DMB for #41 and American Baby Intro.

DMB CREW NOTE ABOUT THE SHOWS

Not having played a show since October, DMB just pulled off a couple of amazing evenings in Vegas. Last night, Dave described a time many years ago when he worked in a bar where many musicians performed on a small stage in the window. He prepared a tape of songs he'd written and passed it on to Carter and LeRoi, alluding to the forming of the band. The tape included the song I'll Back You Up, which the band proceeded to play for the first time in years. The shows here saw the return of some of the best cover tunes the band has played, including The Maker, Down By The River, Time Of The Season and Sweet Caroline. Dave also sang the lyrics to Lanois' Still Water over the intro to Don't Drink The Water. A very cool moment.

The 1996 Hampton New Year’s show with Dave Matthews Band and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones is considered by fans and crew alike, one of the most incredible jam sessions to date. The set list that evening reflected a nice array of songs from Remember Two Things, Under the Table and Dreaming and Crash. Béla Fleck joined DMB on stage for 9 songs and Béla and the full Flecktones ended up jamming with DMB for 5 songs.

An emotionally charged Seek Up set the mood for the evening at over 14 minutes in length. Improvisations were the theme that evening with old-school-style variations to the Say Goodbye lyrics, an Improv Jam with DMB and Béla and the Flecktones and a Drum Duet between Carter and Future Man! New arrangements for Satellite, Two Step and All Along the Watchtower were also introduced. Treasured songs of the New Year’s Eve concert include Typical Situation and Ants Marching, both showcasing a fantastic performance by DMB and Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.

Memories of the Dave Matthews Band shows in Fenway Park are certain to burn bright for a long while in the minds of the fortunate fans that were in attendance. Dave Matthews Band was on the top of its game in the historic ballpark performing back-to-back nights of shows exploding with energy.

The special 4-CD Fenway Live Trax volume will contain every note played during both shows. New songs such as The Idea of You, Can’t Stop and Break Free are highlights along with recent revivals The Last Stop and Proudest Monkey. The volume also features DMB’s rendition of the Fenway Park tradition, Sweet Caroline.

Additional highlights of the 7.7 Fenway Park show include the Bartender jam and the high-energy Ants Marching closer. An awesome Don’t Drink the Water, old favorite Dancing Nancies and the crowd-pleasing show ender, Two Step are some of the favorites from the 7.8 Fenway Park show.The complete track listing is as follows:

7.7.2006 Fenway Park

The Complete Weekend on the Rocks features the four full-length shows from 9.9.05 through 9.12.05 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO. The four complete concerts occurring one right after the other fully exemplifies the fact that DMB is a band of true musical talent showcasing that no two concerts are ever the same. The set is available as an 8-CD / 1 DVD set.

2 CD set from 8.27.00 at the Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford, CT. This was the third show in a three-night stand at the Meadows, a show that many fans have listed in their top 5 due to the choice set list and the energy with which the songs were played that summer evening.

The show began with an explosive Dancing Nancies, the first time since 1997 that Dancing Nancies was played as the opener. An almost twenty-minute version of Seek Up built the energy at the show before a perfect transition to Linus and Lucy/Pantala Naga Pampa, which led into a rapturous Rapunzel. The sweet melody of I’ll Back You Up came next, surprising the audience and giving them a first chance to catch a breath since the show started.

The energy in the venue climbed again as new song Busted Stuff was played followed by Recently. New songs, Raven, Grey Street, a tremendous version of Bartender and Grace is Gone made the rare set list even more diverse. Another surprise, Daniel Lanois’ beautifully written, The Maker was played flawlessly that evening. Carter’s drum solo and Dave’s performance during Say Goodbye brought everyone to their feet. The band jammed JTR next followed by a direct intro into Ants Marching. DMB finally ended a monumental show with a combination of rare songs as encores: The Stone and Drive In, Drive Out.

3 CD set from 9.12.2004 at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. The show took place in the Polo Fields of Golden Gate Park and was a benefit concert for Bay Area Charities. From the moment the band hit the stage, the concert immediately became one of the highlights of Dave Matthews Band's career. Carlos Santana sits in as a special guest for several songs, including the recently written Sugar Will. The 3 CD set also features two additional previously unreleased songs, Joyride and Hello Again.

Dave Matthews Band's THE GORGE captures highlights from DMB's legendary 2002 three night stand at one of the most magnificent venues in the country.
