It's the band's first show in the place where Dorthy got her tornado on since 2007.

If the break has been just too much for you, don't fret, the August 15 show from Denver will be webcast, according to The Warehouse. DMB starts at 10:30 et, so you better take a nap during the day if you want to stay up late! (East coast folks only on the nap)

Also, have you ever wondered what it'd be like if you were named Dave Matthews? Probably not, considering that the Matthews last name is the #169th most common out there. After all, there's a professional piano player with the same nomenclature as the guy we call "Dave". But you've probably never imagined what'd it be like to be named Dave Matthews, write for a sports website, and have questionable taste in music. Wonder no more, that song has now been sung. Kinda funny that the guys name was supposed to be Robert Randolph. But it could be worse, you could be this kid. ]]> Wichita, KS.

The 25th anniversary show is titled, "Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America". Warehouse members can order tickets now for the event.

NBC-TV let it slip that Dave Matthews Band will be performing the NFL Opening Game Kickoff in New Orleans on September 9. The actual performance is free, and will be televised to an extent on NBC prior to the Saints/Vikings game that same evening. Most likely the concert will occur right outside the Superdome, but the official word on where exactly DMB will play hasn't hit the internet yet. Taylor Swift, who of course writes her own songs in case you hadn't heard, is the other performer for the NFL Opening Game Kickoff. ]]> The Warehouse announced that Dave Matthews will perform at the 25th anniversary of Farm Aid October 2 in Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI.

According to The Warehouse, the latest release will be 6.4.96. The set is very solid, in support of Crash, although this was a time before some of the songs were jammed out, so you'll find #41 and Lie In Our Graves checking in around the 7 minute mark. The show also features a very rare full-band Deed Is Done, the first full-band official release of the song. There is also a little jam between Dancing Nancies and Warehouse that is basically the song Rain, although it's in a different time signature.

The mixes on the Live Trax have been very good lately, and this one falls in line with that. We think it might just be the best mix yet. Dave also feels a bit nostalgic during the show, and he mentions the old days of how the band started during the intro to Nancies. He also uses Lie In Our Graves as sort of a PSA to remind people to take chances in life. Overall, it's a very solid show.

You can pre-order here. The release date is August 31. ]]> Live Trax 18 is all set, and again the release is from the 1990's. According to The Warehouse, the latest release will be 6.4.96.

So even if you're not staying at the PGA National this year (for shame...), make sure you take the trek out to Palm Beach Gardens, just a few short exits up the Turnpike from the Amphitheater, and come hang out with us after the show!

To hold you over til then, if you're not going to be in attendance for the HullabaLOO show, The entire three-day-festival will be webcast. DMB plays on Sunday, but you can check out any of the other acts Friday and Saturday here .

UPDATE: Seemingly, they're only showing five tracks from DMB on the webcast for HullabaLOO, so tune in now-ish (8:30 ET) if you want to have a shot at catching something.]]> Less than a week before Antsmarching.org invades the beautiful PGA Resort and Spa for our third Official Ants After-Party.

This was not the case back in the "old days" of tape trading. Even if a show managed to get spread by way of sneakernet, there was no guarantee that you could get your hands on it. It was also possible that a show could become "lost," buried in a shoebox in somebody's closet, then perhaps thrown away or forgotten about for years.

Whereas the loss of a classic show from circulation is indeed a sad thing, the excitement of finding and re-releasing that show to the community is a real treat. We're happy to announce the immediate availability of a former lost show, July 22, 1994 at The Nick in Birmingham, AL, in our BitTorrent Download Area. The set includes an early version of Say Goodbye, and Dave even flubs the lyrics a bit. Unfortunately, All Along the Watchtower, the show closer, wasn't recorded. Other than that, though, it's a fantastic show from the soundboard era! Grab it, share it, enjoy it!

Also of note is a previously uncirculated 45-minute interview with Dave by local fan Sean Carrey from July 21, 1994. Originally, the interview was lost, with only Dave's performance of Pay For What You Get remaining. However, we were able to track down the original recording and now are spreading the full interview. Two nice finds from 16 years ago. Enjoy!]]> Nowadays, when a show is taped, it hits the internet, gets downloaded thousands of times, and is forever available, more or less.

The contest is now over and we have a winner!

Congratulations to Ants member pchilds! We'll be meeting up with him at the Ants After-Party to hook him up with the pair. And hopefully he'll be sticking around to party, as it's looking like there will be some very tasty beverages available. We're not saying from whom, and we're also not saying it has anything to do with the sponsor of this contest, either.

Emphasis on the so.

In case you missed Dave's thoughts on why he performed at Music Saves Mountains, here's an item on it from tonic.com, which also includes a YouTube clip interview from Dave.

Dave is performing another charity event (without the MB this time). On August 22, Dave will be performing at Producer Rob Cavallo's home as part of the Backyard BBQ Concert. The charity is sponsoring the Tuition Assistance Fund at Heschel West Day School, and the performance is literally at the home of Rob and Kim Cavallo. It's a fundraiser, so it ain't cheap, but like I just said 10 words ago, "fundraiser". The link explains how the charity will work.

And in the world of blogs, New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis told of his love of Dave Matthews Band from a different perspective of sorts; a gay one. Have a read at his take here. ]]> Here's a few items along the way that you may have missed in the past week or so. Emphasis on the so.
