DMB to Play Deep South in April
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 3:45pm on Tuesday, Jan 15th, 2013The Dave Matthews Band is returning to the south. According to The Warehouse, DMB will play Sat 4/6/13 at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre in Pelham, AL and Sat 4/27/13 Snowden Grove Amphitheatre in Southaven,MS. If you are wondering why there is a 21 day gap between the shows, no, they're not walking to Mississippi. There have been rumors of other stops, like in cities that are big, and easy, and known for jazz, and fests, so don't be shocked if there are more announcements. But for now Mississippi gets their first show in over 15 years, so the deep south fans will finally have a reasonable drive to see a show!
Yukon Kornelius to play FestEVOL
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Random Appearances at 3:32pm on Tuesday, Jan 8th, 2013Stefan's side act, Yukon Kornelius - who incidentally, are awesome - will be performing again in 2013. The band is scheduled to perform at FestEVOL in Okemo, VT on March 16, according to the Bud Light Concert Series promotion of the event.
Does that mean anything touring wise for the Dave Matthews Band? No. If there were to be a spring tour, it wouldn't really effect anything with that, so you shouldn't read too much into it. However, if you are in the general area, you should really check em out. Yukon Kornelius puts on a great show.
2012 Tour Starts; Entire Album Played
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 7:04am on Saturday, Dec 1st, 2012Dave Matthews Band kicked off their 2012 Winter Tour with a first; the band performed Away From The World in its entirety. This is the first show where DMB played an album completely. And they practically played it straight through.
Fans were expecting a heavy dose of AFTW, but this was a surprise (the good kind). Debuting were Drunken Soldier, Belly Full, and a full-band version of Broken Things (previously played at a Dave and Tim show). Other than that, there were not any shockers, but when you have a show with an entire album, do you need more shockers? Well, some do, but we've grown accustomed to them by now. Reaction from fans has been quite positive (so far). The tour continues with another show at IZOD and then DMB plays Jimmy Fallon on December 3.
Winter Tour Begins
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 7:19am on Friday, Nov 30th, 2012In case you forgot, the Dave Matthews Band 2012 winter tour begins November 30 (which is most likely today if you're reading this on time) in East Rutherford, NJ. The tour begins with a Sandy Relief show; proceeds are going to benefit those effected by the "super storm" that devastated the East Coast.
The tour - 15 shows running until December 22 - is in support of Away From The World the latest DMB album. Expect a solid rotation of those songs to appear at the shows, and that means the live debut (hopefully!) of Drunken Soldier, Broken Things (in a full-band show), and perhaps even the Dave solo song Belly Full. As for what else? Who knows... Stefan once again teased fans by mentioning on his Twitter that he's hopeful that Monkey Man - a song from the infamous Lillywhite Sessions and never performed live - would make a debut some day. Will it be this tour? You'll just have to check out a show to find out.
Keep and eye on the message boards and follow us on Twitter for live, real-time updates from the shows on the breaking set list news and notes. Should be a fantastic tour, see you on the road!

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 8:24pm on Friday, Nov 9th, 2012
Live Trax 23 is 2.19.96 in Durham, New Hampshire. If you're new to the planet, this show is considered one of the best Dave and Tim shows ever; featuring Hold Me Down and early Don't Drink The Water known as Weight Of The World (called Leave Me Praying on the release, but it doesn't matter, because it's one of the best versions of the song ever), and What Will Become Of Me. Also are the cover songs Angel From Montgomery. Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago, and Tangerine of note.
Live Trax 24 is 2.8.97 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. You'll hear a slightly different What Will Become Of Me from the other release, Dream I Killed God, Little Thing and an early version of Captain known then as Crazy (but called Captain on the release). The rarely played Let You Down is also on Live Trax 24, making both releases a collectors dream! Unless you're a bitter hater, than just take to the boards and complain with the rest of em. You know the drill by now.
Pre-Order begins now. We're not going to tell you to buy this, but it just doesn't get any better than this for those fans looking for multi-track sound board recordings of the rarest stuff out there.

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Album News at 9:14am on Friday, Nov 9th, 2012
Times are a bit different from even 2009, where CD's were still being sold in places called "stores", so it's a good number to turn in after the album being out only a few months. The DMB will be supporting Away From The World in a Winter Tour beginning November 30 in New Jersey.
