The Dave Matthews Band (or to many fans, simply DMB) is one of the great American jam bands. They have stood the test of time since their beginnings in the '90s and are still making music today. The best way to experience the Dave Matthews Band is through their concerts. They always make their songs sound even fuller and livelier than they are on CD. Tickets to these intense shows sell out fast, so you can buy your tickets here and now.

Their performance on the 24th marked the first time since the band's early days that they played four cover songs. The cover tunes the band played that night included "The Maker", "Still Water" (both composed by Daniel Lanois), "Down by the River" (composed by Neil Young), and "Sweet Caroline" (composed by Neil Diamond). It ... featured the return of "Halloween", a much sought-after live song by many fans that has only been played seven times in the last seven years (twice in 2000, 2002, and 2005, and once in 2007).

The first public performance of Dave Matthews Band occurred at the City of Charlottesville’s Earth Day Festival in April 1991. The first official gig for the newly conceived Dave Matthews Band was May 11, 1991, at a private party held on the rooftop of the pink warehouse on South Street in downtown Charlottesville. Local weekly gigs soon followed at Eastern Standard and then Trax nightclub, and within a little time, word of the band’s contagious new sound spread like wildfire throughout the region. Clubs started to fill up, tours began to cover more territory, and the fan base grew at an incredible rate.
