Dave Matthews Band Tickets : The Band Allowed Tapers To Plug Directly Into The Live Desk At Shows

By:


Dave Matthews Band are known for their annual summer-long tours of the US and Europe, featuring lengthy improvisational renditions of their songs, accompanied by an elaborate video and lighting show. This portion of the tour has become a stamp of DMB and has grown with the band since Fenton Williams began in the early 1990s.

After twenty consecutive years of touring the band announced that it is going to take the summer of 2011 off. The band's most recent album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King (the first since Moore's death) debuted at number one on Billboard 200, giving the band their fifth consecutive number one debut, making them the second band behind Metallica to do so.The band has won one Grammy Award, and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. According to Julian Bond, "they sell out the largest arenas on Earth, but frequently give their music away."

2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Band, and in March 2010 DMB announced that they would not tour in 2011, for the first time in 20 years. On January 19, 2011, the band announced on their website: "2011 is our 20th anniversary as a band and we want to celebrate by playing music together.

While we are still taking the year off from touring, we have decided to plan four multi-day, multi-artist music events that will take place this summer. We will be sending out save the date emails and announcing more information soon but we wanted to share the news with our fans first."

On February 22, the dates of the first show was announced as being at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey with David Gray, Ray LaMontagne, The Flaming Lips, O.A.R. and many others.The second show was announced on April 7 and will be in Chicago with David Gray, Ray LaMontagne, O.A.R. and others with The Flaming Lips performing The Dark Side of the Moon.

The third and fourth shows were announced April 21. The third show will be August 26-28 at Governor's Island in New York City with Dispatch, The Roots and Gogol Bordello and others. The fourth show is over Labor Day, September 2-4 at The Gorge in George, Washington with Dispatch, The Roots and John Butler Trio with many more and others to be announced.

In recent years it has been common to see several sources per show, sometimes as many as five or more.As microphones and recording equipment have become less expensive and of higher quality, the quality of tapings has improved.
