Special Photo Gallery - Gorge Night 1 Glimpse
Posted by Joe M in Site News on 9/16/15 8:00am
To kick off the reminiscing season we have a special gallery to share from an Ants member. You may know him as Boywonder44, but in a more professional setting he tends to go with Brett Bergen (we don’t get why either.) Brett has some serious live music photography skills, and we’re lucky enough that he’s sharing some of his latest shots with the community. Brett has previously shot TR3, Umphreys McGee, 311, STS9 and a slew of others (oh, did I mention other DMB shows too?) If you want to check out the others you can see them here.
Brett was just out at the Gorge weekend, which included DMB’s 50th headline show at the venue, and lucky for us he brought a camera and is sharing pictures from the first 3 songs of the Night 1 electric set. [Think Seek Up, Seven, and You Might Die Trying.] Click on the Carter image to the left to go through the gallery of 70+ great photos. Thanks to Brett for sharing! Let the reminiscing begin. (For bonus points, as you click through the gallery see if you can notice the transitions between songs.)
Have your own pictures or videos and willing to share? Head over the forums and post/share yours. We'd love to see your reminiscing too!
You Can Help the Gorge Doc
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Random Appearances on 6/9/15 7:38am
You recall the Gorge documentary we mentioned a bit ago? The Producers of Enormous: The Gorge Story are looking for a little bit of help to finish up the project.
If you have the means, there is a Go Fund Me page where certain levels of financial support elicit different goodies - from photos to an Executive Producer credit if you can swing the big money. From the link above, there's a teaser video that explains why they need a little financial assistance and how important you are to telling the Gorge story. So if you can, help em out!
Doc on Gorge Coming Soon
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Random Appearances on 3/5/15 6:39am
A new documentary about the iconic Gorge Amphitheater is on it's way. The appropriately titled
Enormous tells the fascinating history of how one of the most well known concert areas in the world came about; all from a small winery in the middle of nowhere that needed a hook to get people to come out there. What better way than to build an amphitheater? And yes, there will be Dave Matthews Band in the doc. Both Boyd and Dave are interviewed, and there will be concert footage from DMB. In fact, you can say that the entire idea to do the project stemmed from DMB; a viewing of DMB Live at The Gorge inspired the folks to make the film.
The trailer is "fixin'" to be ready to go, so as of now you can head over to the above link and sign up & they'll shoot you an email when it's all set. So sign up and get ready for a compelling look at one of DMB's favorite venues, The Gorge.
Gorge Weekend: Win Win for Fans
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 9/5/11 8:31am
The fans at the show had a great time, and the fans watching had a great time. Clearly from the fan reaction the Dave Matthews Band webcast from The Gorge was a success. And of course fans in attendance always rate the stop very high (The Gorge averages somewhere around 4.2 overall on a 5-star scale). Night 3 continued the debuts, with Loving Wings and Baby Blue making an appearance. In fact, outside the glowsticks flying everywhere (note to fans: STOP THROWING GLOWSTICKS AT THE STAGE), the weekend was quite the success.
If you missed the webcast from the weekend, shame on you. But thankfully the good folks that run the Facebook for DMB have given fans a taste of what they missed. Check out Tripping Billies from night 1 and Spaceman from night 2 on the DMB facebook page if you are a facebooker. Or facerbook, however your pluralize that.
The Last Stop in the Caravan tour is now September 16-18 back in New York, so if you didn't get a chance to see DMB on the Caravan tour yet, you still have one more opportunity. For more ticket information, check out the tickets page.
Gorge Night 1 Webcast a Success
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 9/3/11 7:58am
It was readily apparent from the first note of the Dave Matthews Band Gorge Caravan that that the webcast would be a success. And it was. Sure there were a few drop outs, but a simple click of the "play" button got the stream back on line, and the audio and video were excellent.
And the people actually at the show and not sitting in their perspective beds watching the stream had a good time too. The set list was a bit unique; a drum kit issue prompted Dave's new solo song Sweet to be played much earlier in the set, so fans were treated to two Dave solo songs. Additionally, two songs debuted for the '11 Caravan, American Baby Intro and the unappreciated American Baby.
The shows and webcasts continue tonight! Get your nap in today so you can stay up late and watch!
The Gorge To Be Webcasted
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 8/31/11 7:19am
What was planned to be the ultimate stop on the Dave Matthews Band Caravan will be broadcast live via the internet. According to an email from
The Warehouse, all three evenings from The Gorge will appear on a new DMB official site, designed to carry the stream.
The price for all 3 days of DMB is $34.99. That seems to be the rate for most live streams that other bands do (they are becoming more popular, which is a good thing). Individual days are $14.99 a piece. So if you buy all 3 days, it's cheaper! (been helping out with the kids math homework lately, so that was an easy one to figure out). You can sit back in the comfort of your own home and watch the Gorge live!
For those of you actually attending the shows live, the Schedule is now available. Please note that Gogol Bordello is playing before DMB on Friday, so don't just camp out at the big stage, head over to see Gogol live, because they are awesome. You won't regret it.
Gorge Is Here
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News on 9/3/10 6:33am
It's almost the Mecca to Dave Matthews Band fans; the place where people from all over the nation will travel to just to see DMB. There are few non-driving distance venues where you'll find so many East Coast fans in attendance. The Gorge is just the place fans feel they need to see, at least once.
The way we count em, this is DMB's 38th full-band show at the venue (with a few guest spots by Dave along the way with other bands). According to the stats Too Much leads the way with 15 plays at Gorge. Also, #40 has been teased 4 times there, the most for any single venue. Teases seem to happen often; Build You A House and Light Lift Me Up, two very rare ones, have both been teased as well as Dave solo songs Oh and Trouble.
Granny leads the way with 8 plays as an unreleased (album wise) song, followed by, surprisingly enough, Loving Wings. Cornbread, with 6 plays, will probably have something to say about that this weekend.
This is the 7th straight year of a 3-show run in Gorge, the last time the band did a mere 2 was 2003. Happy camping, everyone!
