The latest release is 4.7.95 from famed Cameron Indoor Stadium on the campus of Duke (or Dook for you haters) University.

The show features the very first #41 - which is more of a jam-like song at that point but still sounds like the #41 we all know and love. Also featured is the 2nd #40, which is pretty dog-gone sweet as well. The other great thing about this release, and the last few as well from the DMBLive series is that the sound of it is about as good as it gets. If you're not familiar with the "loudness wars", I'm not going to even bother trying to explain it (because I can't), just check out this post from our resident expert on the loudness wars rich chere and that will tell you 'buy this show because it sounds great'.

Maryland Heights, MO gets the honor of LT 25, which also was the first show of the 2006 tour. The show is Rashawn's first as a 'touring member' (or at least he hasn't missed a show since), and features JTR, Raven, and Steady As We Go. Steady is notable as it is only the third release for the song. Not too shabby of a show.

Of the 2006 songs - the ones that debuted that year - Sister is the only one on this release. You may also recognize Granny from a single-track release in late March. The show is remarkable for the high energy by the band as well - it's even evident in the Granny release (check it if you don't believe me). You can pre-order the show (along with a nice array of swag including a poster bundle! at the Official Store

Additionally, the Official Site announced a weekly video-tease featuring songs from the 2012 summer tour. The first video up is Don't Drink The Water from 5.18.12 at the Woodlands. And the video looks beautiful, check it out! ]]> The official site announced Live Trax 25, and threw everyone a curve ball; a 2006 show!

The Warehouse announced the latest in the Live Trax series, and it's a double first. This is the first time a Live Trax show has been a Dave and Tim show, and additionally there is actually 2 releases!

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. ]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:10:00 -0400 http://www.antsmarching.org/news/story.php?NewsID=1174 Live Series Featuring DMB on Spotify http://www.antsmarching.org/news/story.php?NewsID=1144 Spotify, the Facebook tied internet radio website, is now featuring live performances from the Dave Matthews Band. If you search Live Series Dave Matthews Band you will find the studio albums listed, with previously released live performances of each song.

Because it's previously released songs only, that means 3 songs are not there (Dreams of our Fathers, STD Her, and Baby Blue), but everything else, regardless of when it was released, is available. So those of you that were not in The Warehouse when Let You Down was released on a WH 5/8 will have an opportunity to hear it. And The Last Stop is from the Central Park bonus disc, so if you never ordered that, in theory you haven't heard that performance either.

Spotify is free, and available to everyone who has a Facebook account. So if you don't have a Facebook account, you do have to sign up for one to listen to the Live Series.

The featured show is 3.2.94 from the Masquerade Nightclub. The show was not recorded by fans, making this the first opportunity to hear it since that day. The set list was known partially, thanks to the old Minarets Digest mailing list, but it was incomplete.

It also appears the proper name of the club is the Masquerade Nightclub and not The Ritz, as previously thought. The show is pretty sweet, and features a very nice performance of Pay For What You Get.

The Pre-order window is still open for you to order the Dave Matthews Band Live Trax 22; from July 14, 2010. The show ships June 8, so you still have time to pre-order if you stop lolly-gagging and get a move on!

The show is being sold at the 2012 DMB tour as well, in fact it's available now, so if you're going to a show in the next few days, you can buy it there too. As we told you, the mix on it is fantastic, and it's one of the highest rated shows by you, the fan, in 2010. You can pre-order by following this magical link. ]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 07:32:00 -0400 http://www.antsmarching.org/news/story.php?NewsID=1127 Live Trax 22 Available for Pre-Order http://www.antsmarching.org/news/story.php?NewsID=1112 The Warehouse, Live Trax Vol. 22 is 7.14.10 from Scranton, PA.

This show may be an under-the-radar release to the more casual fan, but it's actually one of the highest rated shows of Summer 2010 (just hover your mouse over the stars to see the actual numeric number rating out of 5 for each show). Scranton began with The Stone (of Phillip Phillips fame), and featured other fan favorites such as Busted Stuff, One Sweet World (with the original intro), and a fairly epic Two Step. There's also an improv in there (where it sounds like Dave is barking), and the encore of So Damn Lucky into Thank You was so good the goodly folk at The Warehouse added it to the latest Warehouse disc as well.

Pre-order is now, with delivery set to ship on June 8. ]]> The Warehouse, Live Trax Vol. 22 is 7.14.10 from Scranton, PA.

Prior to the release of this acoustic show from Richmond, VA, the set list was unknown to fans. In fact, we only knew of it because Dave mentioned it during a show a few days earlier.

Christmas Song is one of the featured songs, going by its semi-original name Blood Of Our Children (Dave used the names interchangeably in 1993). Tim does 2 solo songs, and there's an early version of Seek Up. Great show with a lot of banter from Dave to the crowd. You can pick up the show over at DMBLive. ]]> Dave and Tim 6.13.93 is a true rarity. Prior to the release of this acoustic show from Richmond, VA, the set list was unknown to fans.

The duo performed with Kokua Festival host Jack Johnson on Jimmy Buffett's A Pirate Looks At 40, and that is part of a Best Of release benefiting the Kokua Festival charities (and ignore the typo on "Matthews" in the write up). Also featured are Willie Nelson, Eddie Vedder, and Jake Shimabukuro - and if you don't know who he is, you should look him up, he's an awesome ukulele player. The album is available April 17.

A few other news and notes, The Warehouse ticketing window closes February 27 at 10 am, which may have already passed depending on when you're reading this.

When you factor in all the teases, there's 15 (or 16 - see below) different songs. The tracks are:

Pantala Naga Pampa (Gravedigger Intro) > Rapunzel 4.26.02 Allstate Arena, Rosemont, IL
Crazy Easy 7.16.04 ctnow.com Meadows Music Theatre, Hartford, CT
Gas Into Fire > What Would You Say 6.17.04 UMB Bank Pavilion, Maryland Heights, MO
Old Dirt Hill tease > Why I Am 4.18.09 John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA
Everyday tease > Halloween > Water Into Wine outro 8.5.08 Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH
Sister 6.17.06 Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY
So Damn Lucky 7.14.10 Montage Mountain, Scranton, PA
Ants Marching 8.31.93 Trax Nightclub, Charlottesville, VA

The first track features the very first Gravedigger, different lyrically (and musically) from the current version. That Crazy-Easy is generally regarded as if not the best version ever, at the very least the best version lyrically. Gas Into Fire is a tiny snipped of a song brimming with potential, so it's nice to see a clean version of it pop up. Why I Am came from an outro created for Old Dirt Hill in 2007, and the two met in 2009 in Charlottesville in this great version. Also of note is the strong reaction from fans on Dave's first mention of the Groo Grux King. The Halloween fake is epic. And before you go bagging on Sister, this is an especially beautiful version, probably the best ever, so give it a shot, hater. So Damn Lucky has a Thank You outro (second "cover" of sorts on a Warehouse disc), and also you may be able to pick up a Digging A Ditch tease by Rashawn in the jam. Ants Marching actually segued out of Doobie Thing a long lost fan favorite. It's not listed on the track info, so it's probably not on the disc, but there's a chance that a few of its notes make it on during the segue. It's a start I guess.

Naturally, the fan reaction has been extremely positive. And once everyone listens to the Sister and realizes that it's pretty boss, the reaction will only be more sanguine. The disc generally ships 6-8 weeks after the announcement, so don't go checking your mailbox just yet. Wait til tomorrow at least. ]]> The Warehouse announced their annual Warehouse disc, Warehouse 5 Volume 11 and Warehouse 8 Volume 8 (the 8 for those with 3+ years in the club), and this year, it's a bit more than the usual 8 total tracks.
