The Music Wiki's 2012 Concert Series
Show #8: Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band (also known as DMB or just "Dave" if you think you're really cool) is one of the most prolific touring bands of the past 20 years. They are well known in the US for their lengthy summer tours, elaborate visuals, improvisational jamming, and for the fact that they encourage the audience to record their shows. In fact, Dave Matthews credits this policy for their success, as college students in the 1990's were openly trading tapes of DMB shows.

If you're a fan of the band and haven't seen them live at this point, then I pity you. In my hometown, where they always played 2 nights, I never met a young person over 15 years old who had not already "sat in the lawn for DMB". It seemed to be a summer ritual back in the day. Luckily, there is still a chance to relive the 90's. Just avoid lawn seating if you have a smoke allergy!
