In the first few days of October, Dave Matthews Band joined forces with many other musicians on the "Vote for Change" Tour. Presented by MoveOn PAC, all proceeds from the tour benefited American Coming Together (ACT). The "Vote for Change" Tour was a multi-city, multi-artist tour that included 37 shows in 33 cities in 12 states over 11 days and featured artists such as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Bonnie Raitt, Pearl Jam, REM and more.

Following this year's Summer Tour, the Dave Matthews Band generated $41.1 million in ticket sales in 2007. This puts the band at #11 out of the top 20 band earnings for this past year. This past year’s ticket sales earnings are slightly up from 2006, when the band earned $39 million. Fox Business reports that the Dave Matthews Band is #4 on most requested concerts for 2007, which could be directly correlated to their increased ticket sales.

The band has used the summer tour to debut new songs such as "Sister," a song performed solo by Dave Matthews, "The Idea of You," "Kill the King," "Shotgun," "Break Free," and "Can't Stop." Older songs in the Band's catalog have appeared during the summer 2006 tour after not being played for several years, including "JTR" (a song that was long thought to be one that would never be played live again, as hinted by Stefan in an interview from 2004), "Pay For What You Get," "Sleep To Dream Her," "Raven," "The Song That Jane Likes," "Digging A Ditch," "The Last Stop," "Big Eyed Fish," "The Dreaming Tree," and a short, full-band version of "#40."
