Farm Aid at SPAC and a free track from Dreaming Tree Wine
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 6/17/13 6:13pm
Dave will be performing at Farm Aid at a familiar place. This years Farm Aid takes place at SPAC on September 21, and at the very least Dave will be there (no word on the Matthews Band or & Tim appearing after the D-word) according to The Official Site. If you're in the greater Upstate New York area check it out. Tickets will be available via The Warehouse soon.
The Dreaming Tree wine is offering up a free download of Everyday - probably in conjunction with their new wine called Everyday (if not, it'd be kinda spooky, right?). You can head over to their Facebook page and grab yourself a copy of the song (from 3.22.03 at Radio City Music Hall). And if you're over 21 or have a wicked fake ID, try their wines. Just kidding about the fake ID, you can wait... really, it's not worth the hassle of getting arrested.
SPAC Weekend 2012 Is Here
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 6/8/12 7:28am
DMB first performed at SPAC in 1994, as part of the HORDE Tour. And really from that show on, SPAC has turned out some of the best shows of that given tour year. Fans often talk of venues as Meccas for DMB fans, and of course there's some debate over a "big 3" or even "big 5", but there's no denying that SPAC is a special venue for DMB. If you're not familiar with some of the cool functions of Tour Central, you can actually see a breakdown of all the songs played at SPAC. As you see from that link, Ants Marching leads the way with 13 plays up to 2012.
Among some of the SPAC shows that stand out are Live Trax 11, 2008 with The Dreaming Tree, A Dream So Real, and #40 all being released in some manner, and 2009, which is the highest rated show by those attending the show (in the Ants era) for any SPAC show.
What will DMB scare up for 2012? Follow along on the Ants Twitter (we will have 4 people providing details of the show for you!), right here on the main page of Ants for the live set list pop up during the show, and don't forget to enter your set list guesses in our award winning set list game. Will DMB bust out a classic this weekend? Does Bustin' make em feel good? Follow along and find out!
SPAC Does It Again

The debut of Shake Me Like A Monkey the night before was greeted with so much energy, they decided to go with it as an opener, which grabbed the crowd's attention immediately. Debuting during the show was Dive In, and the first appearances of Typical Situation, The Stone and Song That Jane Likes in 2009.
But that was nothing. How's this for an Encore? #40 - over a minutes worth of it, and then the unusual placement of Granny. That's pretty good, for certain. If you were at the show and started to head toward the exits during All Along The Watchtower, you better have a pretty good excuse. The band shocked the entire free world by closing out with Halloween. So that means that no one can sneak away from a show early anymore during what is assumed to be the last encore song.
There are numerous threads in the boards discussing the greatness that was night 2 at SPAC. And, incidentally, even if I have to walk there, I'm going to SPAC next year. Because clearly, DMB loves SPAC.
