Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

The rumors were true. The rumblings heard in the parking lots at Camden thanks to the SiriusXM producers interviewing fans has borne fruit. Dave Matthews Band Radio will launch on SiriusXM channel 3 on Monday, July 2 at noon ET. The channel will be a month-long limited run partnership between the band and the satellite radio outfit, now boasting over 32 million subscribers.

The announcement was made during another SiriusXM event; Dave's interview with Howard Stern this morning. Per the press release, the channel will include "songs, demo tracks and musical influences." The latter two might cause you to pull that classic Dave Matthews eyebrow; just how behind-the-scenes this material gets will be interesting to learn.

In addition to the aforementioned content, the channel will also play host to the DMB Friday Night Concert Series. Each Friday night during the channel's limited run, the channel will air a live concert. Looking at the DMB Summer Tour 2018 Calendar, that means that Deer Creek N1, SPAC N1, Raleigh, NC, and WPB N1 will all be live streamed to Dave Matthews Band Radio.

Per the press release, the band stated, “We are thrilled to partner with SiriusXM again to bring our fans a full month of non-stop Dave Matthews Band music. We are especially excited to have the opportunity to broadcast four concerts from our current tour to SiriusXM subscribers.” Steve Blatter, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Programming for SiriusXM, said "We are proud to join forces with one of music’s most prolific performing artists to create Dave Matthews Band Radio. The limited-run channel wouldn’t be complete without lots of live concert performances and we’re excited to bring DMB fans across North America a live concert from the band every Friday night in July.” SiriusXM’s Dave Matthews Band Radio begins on Monday, July 2 at noon ET via satellite on channel 3 and through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at SiriusXM.com.

so..... Machead?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

This is made twice as cool seeing as I just got a month free when I bought a new car.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I'm guessing they're gonna play just about every LT and DMBLive track in existence.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Very excited about this channel, I didn't have Sirius last time they did this. If anyone hears anything noteworthy (demos?), mention it in here.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I wonder how something like this could effect set lists for the show being live streamed. Especially the N1 shows, you would think that they wouldn't want to have as much duplication in those.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

this is correct.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I will be getting Sirius for the month for this. Looking forward to it!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Or because it’s limited they’ll use it as a commercial opportunity and not play as much of that


but i’m super hopeful

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

same thing they did in 2012 https://www.antsmarching.org/news/20...-in-a-Cartoon?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Guarantee this news won’t affect the setlists one bit. I doubt Dave or anybody else weighing in on the set lists is like “No! You can’t play #41 tonight because you played it night 1 in a different city a week ago!”

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I know you can get 30 day trial memberships, but will there be ways to replay this Friday night shows? Or rip them somehow? It’s pretty cool that we will have 4 professionally recorded live shows coming

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

They need to do this permanently. That would get me excited.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

If they were to offer the four shows as a CD or download, I’d buy all four.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I feel like as a fanbase, we have more available than they will stream through Sirius. Although I don't have Sirius so I might just be justifying that to my own self - ha

ETA: Cool to see they are airing SPAC N1!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

The previous channel description/announcement never mentioned anything about demos so I'm excited for that aspect of it but not holding my breath.

From 2012: "Listeners will hear band members personally introduce each song off the group’s upcoming eighth studio album, Away From the World, scheduled for release September 11, plus hear the band share stories about the songs, each other and their 20-year career. Dave Matthews Band Radio will also feature music from the band’s entire catalog, concert recordings, as well as music from Dave Matthews’ side projects as a solo artist and with Tim Reynolds."

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I got XM with my new car a couple months ago. I don't understand this service. The sound quality is poor compared to using Spotify or even youtube via bluetooth, and the signal craps out all over the place. I live 15 miles north of Seattle, and experience drops all around town (not like I live in an irrelevant area or anything).

Normally I'd be excited for this news, but it's useless to me given how terrible XM radio is.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Yep, have you looked at the setlists this year? I think they forgot what a setlist is and hired a third party to write 'em.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

ahhhh yes, the good ol' "Pssssssssssssst". Make sure you have a totally unobstructed view of the southern horizon! :lol :lol :lol

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

As a sirius subscriber I hope the dmb fanbase pushes to make this channel permanent. I think dmb has a strong enough following to merit a full time channel. If you are a sirius subscriber and dmb tell them to keep the channel on.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I'm always for any means to get DMB music out there, but I don't understand Sirius for myself. I get there is a "premium radio" market, but with Spotify and Youtube, why do I need it?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

uhh you know most people pay for spotify, apple music or youtube red.. right?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Yeah definitely. I pay for Spotify family ($14.99/month). I guess I don't see the appeal of adding Sirius. I'm seeking someone who enjoys it and thinks it's great to tell me why it's worth the bread.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Because there's content (like Howard Stern interviewing Dave Matthews) that isn't on spotify, YouTube Red, et al.

If that's not enough to get you to sign up, that's fine, it's not enough for me either. But it's a pretty simple explanation haha

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

At the normal price its kind of outrageous but they offer so many deals as to where you can get a year for $60.

Theres some good channels and its a good option for someone who just wants the convenience of it in their car.

Stern
NPR
Live sports
Jam On
Spectrum
Petty Channel
GD channel
PJ channel
Shade 45


Theres enough there to make it worth $5 a month. Good for discovering new music too.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Right, in 2018... :rattle

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Thanks, guys. (Listened to Dave on Stern this morning without a subscription, btw)

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Steps for free trial of Sirius without having to use a credit card:

1. https://www.siriusxm.com/hsbb30daytrial
2. Enter information, but leave promo code space blank and submit.
3. If it doesn't work, check to make sure it didn't insert a code for you automatically. If so, remove it and resubmit. Eventually it will process and send you an email with your password.
4. Go here and log in: https://player.siriusxm.com/welcome
5. In the rare instance your log in doesn't work, reset your password and the new password they send you should work.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I'm just saying that if they are live streaming these 4 shows, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Dave would want to try to minimize the amount of songs played multiple times. 4 shows streamed I'm not sure it would make sense to have each one be 80% the same as the other one as seems to be the case this tour.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I love xm. Dmb channel won’t be a go to though. So many great channels

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I bet Stand Up gets played 3/4 times at least!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

If @eaglesdiehard posts on here, you’re a douche.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

:lol That's great.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I only have access to Sirius XM via my car, so I guess I’ll either be sitting in the car or taking a drive on Friday :lol.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I bet L@Radio City’s Down By The River gets played every hour on the hour.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Retweet...

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

When you're a hammer, everything's a nail. I love it!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

guessing that was his attempt at being funny.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

so this worked:thumbsup

but this has nothing to do with getting sirius in the car, right?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

If you have a subscription for your car you should be able to use that subscription on your PC or cell phone.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Heard Dave promoting the DMB channel during a commercial break on CH98 (LaughUSA) just now, launches Monday at noon ET; looking forward to checking it out.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

No, just for online stream using a browser or through their mobile app. If you want to listen in your car, you can download the mobile app and play it through there.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Only the all access subscriptions include streaming - that's my understanding. After my 6 month promo deal for all access, I recently switched to the Mostly Music to save a few bucks. For DMB radio though, I'll pay the $5 extra to add the streaming. Def worth it for any on demand content & to use other devices. I recently was enjoying listening to Bonnaroo recordings on my phone while biking around

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I wonder if “Demos” are just referring to the bonus tracks from Remember Two Things and Under The Table

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

The shows might be on-demand or at least get replayed. Gotta imagine they replay some of those shows not only for the need to broadcast content 24/7, but also because those recordings would be exclusive content.

Ripping the shows is possible. For Sirius's broadcast of Dave & Tim @ Farmaid, I've made copies by using a program to record the playback. I'm going to be at the WPB show that's broadcast, so hoping to get a soundboard-quality recording of that.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

That was what I imagined too

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Considering going to WPB as well. It’s one of my home venues but originally had decided to skip it and just do Tampa because I’m also doing Chicago and Gorge this year, plus I did Atlanta. But now with the live stream, I’m seriously considering adding it as well. Would be really cool if they released these 4 shows for download after the channel dies. Would be an easy cash grab for both Sirius and DMB.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I really don’t think Dave cares that much. If he did, why would they repeat songs at a two night stand? And regardless of how many shows are being broadcast, this is a band that has 100+ live albums - there’s always going to be a little overlap so why keep track of something like this? If I’m Dave, I have much better stuff to worry about.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Weren't there only two repeats? And both were album songs? I don't think the repeat argument works here.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

JamOn, channel 29, is doing a preview of the new channel at 11am CST.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Those + the Lillywhite Sessions = exclusive demos never before heard on Sirius XM!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

This Ari dude is asking Carter when we will hear Halloween again haha. Carter said in the next 5 to 10 shows. haha

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Just started listening to the XM preview now. I hope someone is ripping this?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Did it pretty much start with "She" studio version? Trying to get to the beginning on the app and there's a bunch of early 90s grunge stuff at the start (RHCP, Pearl Jam, etc)

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Is there no way to remind on the sirius streaming website?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

:lol

Oh man, this is worth listening to just for Tim's extended reponse to the very first question. Fucking dude is so cool.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

There is about 10 mins of an interview with Stefan you missed. Nothing crazy.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I love Tim. He’s always so intersting to chat with and this is was no different. He definitely had his coffee this morning

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I can get used to hearing live versions of Halloween on the radio lol.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Which Halloween did they play?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Not sure exactly, but a newish one based on Dave's voice and Tim's presence. My guess would be Alpine Live Trax 36.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Whichever Halloween it was, it had the Ants snare intro fake into Halloween (ie - not even a single riff from the tune, just the snare intro then some added fills into Halloween)

Digging this funky Lettuce tune "Relax" - is all their stuff this good?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Hell yeah, that’s awesome. With the ants snare intro it’s probably Live in Atlantic City

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I missed from AATW (caught the beginning of it) to 41 with Bela Fleck (just caught the end). I'm sure there was an interview or two in between. I am not listening live (but also can't rewind) so can't tell what I missed. Jeff is on now. Jeff said he has 75 instruments on tour with him. Holy shit.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Buddy's interview has been great. Basically saying how overwhelming the song bank is and how sometimes when they change the setlist midset he doesn't know what to do and has to quickly dig through his notes.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

What is the order of band members?

So far i've heard all of Fonz and Carter, did I miss Tim and Buddy or are they to follow?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Nevermind - think I got it. Tim is on right now. Boy he's loquacious today/whenever this was recorded. Don't think I've ever heard him quite so talkative.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I've been in and out of the stream (it might be over now as I restarted it long after it started), but I've heard: Stefan, Carter, Jeff, Rashawn, Buddy. I may have confused the order of Jeff and Rashawn. I missed Dave's interview and Tim's interview.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Stefan was just on Jam on and now Carter is on.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

They're replaying yesterday's promo bit. It's a good segment overall, some great tunes.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

:lol Im pretty sure they havent "changed" the setlist once this entire tour outside of leaving a song off that was a choice between two like last night.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

When does the channel debut? What is the channel number?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

They made quite a few changes in Bristow.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I mean thats not remotely the same thing as changing an existing setlist. Plus all the songs they played were very standard fair already played this year.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Just an FYI that I think im taking advantage of myself. SiriusXM is offering a $4.99 a month deal up until the 30th for a year subscription for in car listening. Just in time for the channel to start next month.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

There hasn't been all that many, but I imagine it's hard for Buddy to keep track of the songs still.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Yeah and it speaks to my theory that he had next to no familiarity with their catalog before coming on with them. I honestly dont think he knew any songs outside of Ants and a few radio singles. By knew, I mean heard the songs at all.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Xm is 100% worth it. So much quality stuff

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Agreed. My favorite channel is Lithium, so great.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Agreed. Yea, Lithium is great. I also like the Coffee House channel. I've heard Here on Out on there twice already.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Can I listen to the dmb preview on demand?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Monday at Noon ET, and I believe it's going to be CH3

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Channel 3 has already been updated to DMB Radio, although they were still playing songs from the previous channel as of this morning. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0bbf455b9.jpg

the fees and taxes kill it for me.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

54 more cents than 4.99 isnt a dealbreaker for me.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

didn't realize the station didn't start till noon, it is already labeled DMB Radio on channel 3 but was playing Nicki Minaj this morning....I was veryyyy confused

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

If you’re only interested in Sirius for DMB radio, why not just take advantage of the free trials and stream using the Sirius app on your phone?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Anyone see the channel on the Sirius app yet?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

What do you we think is the first song? Ants? Sam Cop?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Probably a new tune

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

I have a feeling theyre going to start by replaying the same stuff that was on CH 29 the last few days

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Kicking off the channel with some Halsey...odd choice

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Dowwwwnnnn byyyyyy theeeeee riiiiiivveerrrrrrrr

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

For anyone who cannot find it, it is channel 3 in the car and 716 on the app.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Why am I still hearing Lady Gaga?

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

What Would You Say studio was 1st song.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Thank you!!!!

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

If you search in the app it comes up as channel #716 and not as the previously-advertised channel #3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now playing WWYS.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Channel 716 if you're using the app.

Re: Dave Matthews Band to Launch Limited-Run SiriusXM Channel
 

Wwys opener. Better than this entire tour so far
