DMB Live Trax Vol. 1 |
12/8/98 - Worcester, MA |
11/2/2004 |
DISC 1 |
"12.8.98 was the second of
a two-night stand which according to crew reports were shows that showcase
a period of musical growth for DMB in which set list standards were
transcended into virtually new songs." |

DMB Live Trax Vol. 2 |
9/12/2004 - San Francisco, CA |
12/17/2004 |
Disc 1 |
"9.12.2004 Golden Gate
Park, San Francisco is the second release in the DMB Live Trax series. The
3 CD set 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." |

DMB Live Trax Vol. 3 |
8/27/2000 |
3/17/2005 |
Disc 1 |
"8.27.00 Meadows Music
Theatre, Hartford, CT is the third volume in the DMB Live Trax series.
8.27.00 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
8.27.00 show is available as a 2-CD set or as a digital download in MP3 or
FLAC formats. The CD is being offered as a bundle with the popular
pinwheel t-shirt remade with the 8.27.00 date as well as a bundle with
Live Trax volumes 1 and 2.
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." |

DMB Live Trax Vol. 4 |
4/30/1996 |
9/2/2005 |
Disc 1 |
4.30.1996 Classic Amphitheatre, Richmond, VA was the show that started the Crash tour. In addition to hearing many new songs for the first time, fans in attendance were the first to hear the new sound system which DMB had recently inherited from the Grateful Dead. This sound system helped to take DMB's live show experience to the next level. The Richmond show was also the show that marks the introduction of multi-track recording on tour. Thankfully, someone was smart enough to realize that fans may want to hear these shows in the future. Old school fans of Two Step will hear the beginning of the dark side of the song, while Jimi Thing fans are going to be completely blown away by the incredible, almost fifteen minute jam. The band experimented during this show with old favorites and began playing new songs that were soon to become crowd favorites. The great thing about this show is that it catches the band at a really interesting point in their development. One can still hear the raw energy that the live show was known for, but can also start to hear the polish of a veteran band that is completely comfortable in their surroundings. |
