I'd do it if they still let us record the shows outside of the car lol

I would definitely put in for a lottery for a drive-in show where your car had two spots to spread out if they allowed BYOB or had car service so as to avoid giant lines for beer/food.
I think DMB is too big for this though. The biggest band to offer this here in Austin has been Everclear. Last time I saw them was on the So Much for the Afterglow anniversary tour at Emo's with like 160 people.

They'll have to be cancelled, and they'll have to find some other way to have socially distanced shows.

I agree that the shows in summer 2021 will not be taking place as currently scheduled. It's too soon, it's pretty much already November 2020 and there aren't even any realistic plans mentioned yet for large tier artists touring again. We might be quite a ways off.
Surely there is some sort of solution to get to see bands play. With DMB's guarantee per show, I assume it would be nearly impossible to get them to do any sort of drive in show.

On Saturday my wife and I built a fire in the backyard, got a speaker, some beer, a bottle of wine, and listened to LT 29. I'll take that over a social distanced drive in where you don't even see the band in person--any day of the week.

You'd be surprised what people would do to see shows after having such a long break from them. As long as it was an actual live show, it would sell out for DMB. 100%.
I did the Metallica Drive In concert a few months ago in Atlanta and it was completely packed. It wasn't even live - they pre-recorded a special show just for a drive in event about a week beforehand, had it professionally mixed and edited, then sent it to the drive ins. No one knew the setlist or anything beforehand. The atmosphere was a total blast - people standing and dancing in truck beds, running around the parking lot, etc. I loved it.
