Why is DMB's Picture on a VH-1 Super Bowl Concert Promo?
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 2:35pm on Tuesday, Nov 5th, 2013VH-1 is hosting a Super Bowl concert in conjunction with the Super Bowl in New Jersey in the dead of winter (brilliant). And some inquiring eyes noticed everyone's favorite band pictured in the promo.
Follow this link and you'll notice a picture of Dave Matthews Band used in the VH-1 promo. Why would they use a picture of DMB unless DMB was one of the acts?
If you really look at the picture, you can tell it's from 2008. No, really, you can. Look at Rashawn on the right; he's a bit bigger than the slimmed-down Rashawn we have now. Jeff is in the picture too, so it's after June 2008. So did VH-1 just grab an old promo picture of DMB and throw it up there as "generic band photo" and did they not realize that we, the DMB obsessive-compulsive fan, would be able to nail the year of the photo?
Before you book a flight and get 50 yard line seats, wait for an official word from VH-1 or DMB. Or throw caution to the wind and take the entire month of February off in case there's a winter tour. It's entirely up to you.
UPDATE: It was pointed out that the picture is from the Beacon Theater 2009 (close to 2008, it was an early show), and DMB is likely part of the VH-1 Super Bowl Blitz. Over 6 nights, there will be 6 concerts throughout the greater Tri-State area. Stay tuned for more details as they become available, but at the least those will be televised.
