Live Nation • What's New • DMB Live Trax Vol. 22: Montage Mountain

Live Trax Volume 23 is the first Dave and Tim show to be released in the series. For the special Dave and Tim debut, we have selected an exceptional 1996 show from the University of New Hampshire in Durham. This last show of the Dave & Tim tour that year includes Dave’s solo performance of never-before-played Hold Me Down . Tim broke a string and while replacing, Dave played the solo song asking the audience to name it. The jam from What Would You Say into Minarets is a definite highlight along with Leave Me Praying which is one of the coolest versions of the song we’ve heard. Other noteworthy parts of the show include What Will Become of Me at the end of Jimi Thing , the cover of Led Zeppelin’s Tangerine and the Cry Freedom closer.

Dave Matthews Band 8.4.95 SOMA in San Diego, CA is the 21st volume in the Live Trax series. The show was performed in front of an intimate crowd and broadcast via radio and Dan Healy, the Grateful Dead's longtime audio engineer, was on board as the recording engineer. Despite it being a radio broadcast, the band was comfortable performing with experimental soloing and joking with the crowd. The 1995 San Diego show features compelling renditions of classic songs with the band exhibiting great energy throughout the set. Highlights from the early show include LeRoi's performance on Proudest Monkey , I'll Back You Up in the encore as well as an exceptional Drive In Drive Out . This version of Don't Burn the Pig is an early jam, different from the later studio release on Before These Crowded Streets .

LIVE TRAX 20: 8.19.93 WETLANDS PRESERVE, NEW YORK, NY Live Trax Volume 20: 8.19.93 Wetlands Preserve, New York, NY is now available in the Warehouse store/DMB store as a 2-CD set and may be purchased as a bundle with the 20th Anniversary Fire Dancer T-shirt. The Wetlands show is the earliest show in the Live Trax series that we've been able to mix from multi-track. The historic, now defunct Wetlands Preserve has a neat history rooted in philanthropy and is one of the first NYC venues that DMB played. Highlights include a great run of songs, Dancing Nancies > Typical Situation > Blue Water on the setlist featuring longtime friend, Warren Haynes. Blue Water features Boyd and Warren weaving licks together with violin and slide. Best of What's Around as a closer is pretty rare and all in all, we just really love this high energy show from the early days.

LIVE TRAX 24: 2.8.97 Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium, Spartanburg, South Carolina When selecting Live Trax 23, we realized that we had two Dave and Tim shows from the early days that were both so good they had to be released together. Live Trax 24 is a show from Spartanburg, SC in early 1997. During the show, Dave refers to a billboard displaying a message “Jesus is coming to a soul near you” in several songs: Two Step , never-before-played Dreamed I Killed God and What Will Become of Me . Highlights of the show include a rare Let You Down and Captain with some alternate lyrics. Little Thing and I’ll Back You Up are both rare treats in this setting. One of our favorite stretches of the show is Minarets>Dreamed I Killed God>Typical Situation .

6.26.2011 Bader Field, Atlantic City, NJ Dave Matthews Band brought their multi-artist Caravan tour to four US cities this summer with the opening weekend taking place in Atlantic City, New Jersey June 24th-26th. DMB brought new life to Bader Field, a defunct airport space surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, only a short bridge away from the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk. The band hosted a 3-day multi-stage, multi-artist festival ending each day of music with a headline performance. One four letter word sums up the weekend perfectly: E-P-I-C. The band’s headlining concert on June 26th is now available as a 2-CD set or digital download. DMB pulled some great stuff out of their trick bag on the last night in AC with rarity (and previously unreleased) Kill the King , Seek Up into Warehouse , Dive In featuring a new musical intro and a first for the band with a cover of Sweet Emotion . The crowd went wild during the quadruple encore when DMB began playing Halloween after Carter’s snare drum intro to Ants Marching , launching back into Ants at the end of Halloween. DMB ended the show and an incredible weekend of music with the apropos Thank You Falletin Me Be Mice Elf Agin. The fans continued chanting the song as they exited the Caravan and walked over the bridge to the boardwalk. booklet | tray inlay | CD labels

7.17.10 CITIFIELD, NEW YORK, NY Dave Matthews Band performed at Citi Field in Flushing, NY on July 16-17, 2010 to more than 40,000 fans each night. The July 17th show is being released as the 2-CD, set, Live in New York City and is a definite crowd-pleaser with a mix of new surprises and older fan favorites. Highlights include The Stone and Warehouse followed by One Sweet World with Rashawn taking the solo over the original intro; an epic Two Step with a haunting Time Bomb intro and new outro features an unforgettable solo by Carter; Seek Up takes the band’s jazz sensibilities to new heights and showcases their communication on stage on a different level; a partial Black Jack , with no lyrics, makes its live debut; Stefan’s playing on You Might Die Trying and during his Moog-infused bass solo before Watchtower shine.
