It will indeed take a certain kind to the future of obsessive to spring for Europe 2009, a not-inexpensive four-disc set that uses one DVD to present a nearly three-hour London show from last summer, then spreads an even longer Italian gig across three CDs.

The economy of those pop-funk tunes is balanced out here, of course, by jams as un-succinct as “This might actually be the a 21-minute expansion of oldie “#41.” This might be considered set you’d put on to convince heresy by acolytes of the core combo, but it’s the supplementary members—guitar electrician Tim Reynolds, trumpeter Rashawn unbelievers.” Ross, and the late LeRoi Moore’s replacement on sax, Jeff Coffin—who push these shows into overdrive, especially at the all-but-orgasmic climax of “So Damn Lucky.” It doesn’t hurt that Matthews has progressed as a songwriter since trademarking his deceptively happy-go-lucky sound of the mid-’90s, adding more tension, sensuality and genuine celebration to the recent material emphasized in these epic sets. –CW - M Music & Musicians January/February 2010.

DMB Promo Box Set
DMB Promo Box set Live Trax Vol. 1 CD (12.8.1998) 2 CD The second night of a two night stand at the Centrum in Worcester, MA. According to crew reports, these were shows that showcased a period of musical growth for the band in which set list standards transcended into virtually new songs. Live Trax Vol. 2 CD (9.12.2004) 2 CD The show took place in the Polo Fields of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA and was a benefit concert for Bay Area Charities. From the moment the band hit the stage, the concert immediately became one of the highlights of Dave Matthews Band's career. Carlos Santana sits in as a special guest for several songs, including the recently written Sugar Will. The 3 CD set also features two additional previously unreleased songs, Joyride and Hello Again. Live Trax Vol. 3 CD (8.27.2000) 3 CD This was the third show in a three-night stand at the Meadows in Hartford, CT, a show that many fans have listed in their top 5 due to the choice set list and the energy with which the songs were played that summer evening. Live Trax Volume 4 CD (4.30.1996) 4 CD Classic Amphitheatre, Richmond, VA was the show that started the Crash tour. In addition to hearing many new songs for the first time, fans in attendance were the first to hear the new sound system which DMB had recently inherited from the Grateful Dead. This sound system helped to take DMB's live show experience to the next level.
